In a vast castle within the Virtual Universe Network, Zhang Junbao sat cross-legged.
What appeared before him was the interface of the Virtual Universe Network Super Administrator License. With a thought from Zhang Junbao, the interface popped up automatically.
The information displayed on his identity card gave him a clue.
Name: Zhang Junbao
Affiliation: Ganwu Universe Country, Black Dragon Mountain Empire
Strength: Planetary Level
License: Universe Level
Super License: The Real Feeling of Death
..."
The content wasn't extensive, but two of them caught his attention.
In the Virtual Universe Network, a user's permissions are linked to their own strength. The Virtual Universe Network can accurately determine a user's strength and grant different levels of permissions accordingly.
For example, Immortal Expert have more freedom to open up more places than those below Immortal level, and they also have a greater degree of freedom. Zhang Junbao's strength is at the Planetary Level, so his licensing authority should also be at the Planetary Level level, but at this moment his licensing authority is at the Universe Level.
"This super license grants me a license that is two levels higher than my own strength. I don't know if it's a fixed two levels higher, or if it will change depending on how much my strength increases."
There was no explanation, and I'll only know once my strength reaches the Star Level.
But what does this 'real feeling of death' mean?
In the Virtual Universe Network, even in the Killing Field, although there is terror when you die, it does not give you the despair you feel when you are truly facing death.
This design has its pros and cons. While martial artists enjoy fighting and training in the Virtual Universe Network, not everyone likes the feeling of death.
If dying in Virtual Universe Network felt completely real, many people would likely suffer a mental breakdown. It would be even less likely that they would use Virtual Universe Network as a regular training ground.
The Virtual Universe Network can simulate pain, combat losses, and so on with 100% accuracy.
Could it be that this "real feeling of death" means experiencing a genuine death when dying in Virtual Universe Network?
That's possible. If even the Law governing the universe can be simulated, then simulating the feeling of death is entirely possible.
But most people wouldn't choose this option, right?
After all, no matter how realistic it is, the Virtual Universe Network are still virtual. Who would want to be killed in the virtual world, only to actually die? Or rather, to truly feel like they're dead? That kind of realization is absolutely terrifying.
It is said that there is Great Terror between life and death, which not everyone can accept, and it is easy to die in reality.
But once I truly withstand the fear of death, my strength will definitely increase rapidly. At the moment of death, all of a person's perceptions will be heightened to the extreme, even their understanding of the Law. The potential unleashed at the moment of death can definitely unleash strength far exceeding normal levels.
But who knows, it might even lead to schizophrenia.
Zhang Junbao hesitated. Although contemplating death sounded like a good way to accelerate cultivation, a righteous adult would absolutely not want to try it.
Those who have never faced death can never truly experience that terrifying moment. It's not something that can be solved by willpower alone. Rather, it elevates human emotions to their extreme, magnifying any inner flaws to an extreme degree in that instant.
This option is a double-edged sword. If used well, it can rapidly enhance Zhang Junbao's strength, but it could also cause him to fall into despair, fear death, and never recover.
"No matter what, this is an opportunity, and giving it up like this doesn't go against my principles. I'll give it a try." After thinking for a long time, Zhang Junbao made up his mind to give it a shot.
He had never truly experienced death. Although he had been near-death in the past, it was nothing compared to the real experience.
" Challenge Space is a perfect training ground where you can simulate any opponent you want. I'm currently at Planetary Level Seven (I leveled up after returning from Qiu Long Star ), and I'm not afraid of even ordinary Stellar Level One opponents."
Then let's choose the Golden Horned Beast, Star Level One stellar beast, and see for ourselves just how powerful this top-tier bloodline, this Starry Sky Behemoth, really is!
Zhang Junbao quickly set the opponent's information: Stellar Level One Golden Horned Beast had grown normally one year after its birth.
This is precisely the strength of the Golden Horned Beast that Earth will face in the future. Since we must experience death anyway, we might as well use the Golden Horned Beast as practice.
Zhang Junbao believed that if it were just a real death experience, he should be able to withstand it given his mental fortitude.
The setup was successful, Zhang Junbao quickly entered the Challenge Space.
Opposite him stood the most powerful bloodline in the universe, the Starry Sky Behemoth. This Golden Horned Beast was about 180 meters long, with four hooves and wings. Its entire body was covered in black scales that reflected a cold light, making people's hearts tremble.
The Golden Horned Beast also has a signature single horn on its head, and there is a protrusion outside the horn, which signifies that it has just entered the Star Level.
As soon as it appeared, the Golden Horned Beast simulated by the Virtual Universe Network let out a deafening roar. The roar alone made Zhang Junbao's blood boil and his body emit a strong warning of danger.
"This is the legendary Golden Horned Beast. With my current strength, I can even put up a fight against an ordinary Stellar Level One."
But when I faced it, its mere aura alone made my body naturally feel the threat of death.
As expected of an invincible being of the same level and rank in the universe, top-tier bloodlines are indeed terrifying.
But mere aura isn't enough to intimidate me. Domain, activate!
The Virtual Universe Network not only realistically recreates the appearance of the real Golden Horned Beast, but when this Golden Horned Beast saw Zhang Junbao charging towards it, it even revealed a very human-like contemptuous smile, as if mocking Zhang Junbao's overestimation of his abilities.
However, such an expression on its terrifying face was quite frightening.
How dare such a tiny insect provoke it?
Zhang Junbao took the initiative to attack, and with a powerful sword strike, he struck the Golden Horned Beast, but it only caused a tremor in its scales, and then nothing else happened.
Zhang Junbao quickly distanced himself, deeply shocked.
"No wonder that even with their combined attacks, Hong, who possesses the domain, and Thunder God were still no match for the Golden Horned Beast, which had been injured by a nuclear bomb."
Although this Golden Horned Beast was only recently born, its scales and armor possessed a defensive capability far exceeding that of armor of the same level.
Even at the very moment my sword struck, its scales and panels spontaneously generated a peculiar rhythm, which actually neutralized my attack.
As a being with a top-tier bloodline, some defensive techniques that we need to specifically cultivate seem to be nothing more than innate instincts to it.
Even if it doesn't understand what Law are, the way to use Law is naturally imprinted in its genes. No wonder it naturally grows into World Lord Level once it reaches adulthood; such a racial advantage is simply too exaggerated.
Zhang Junbao frantically analyzed the strength of the Golden Horned Beast and how to deal with it, but his attacks had no effect on the Golden Horned Beast.
On the other side, Golden Horned Beast over 180 meters long arrived in front of Zhang Junbao in an instant with a gentle flap of its scaled wings.
Its dark golden eyes were filled with coldness, savagery, and killing intent. At this moment, it swung its right claw at Zhang Junbao as if it were swatting a small insect.
Within Zhang Junbao's domain, one could clearly sense that the Golden Horned Beast's grab contained changes in the Space Law, forcefully attacking against his domain at an extremely fast speed.
Zhang Junbao exerted all his strength to activate his domain, and finally managed to dodge the Golden Horned Beast's hooves just before they were about to strike him.
The Golden Horned Beast's eyes held a hint of confusion; in its understanding, this attack was enough to kill Zhang Junbao.
"No, its power far exceeds my own. Even with the help of my domain, it's still too difficult to provoke it into attacking."
But there's always a way. Since I can't move it, I'll just drift away with the wind.
The Golden Horned Beast's hooves struck again. This time, Zhang Junbao did not try to use his domain to change its attack. Instead, he focused his power on himself. His body seemed to transform into a feather, and he was agitated by the spatial fluctuations stirred by the Golden Horned Beast's hooves.
The Golden Horned Beast kept waving its hooves, and Zhang Junbao was like a ball, being bounced around by it.
"Fortunately, my domain was able to deflect my body, but each of his attacks penetrated deep into it. If his attacks were any stronger, even my domain might be pierced through before I could react."
Zhang Junbao's domain was like a ball, bouncing Zhang Junbao out the instant the Golden Horned Beast attacked. However, even a ball has its limits. The Golden Horned Beast's attack wasn't like an arm, but rather like a knife. If it was sharp enough, it could slice through Zhang Junbao's domain and kill him.
"No, this is too passive. I can't even tickle it. My strength is too weak, and I lack powerful attack methods. I have no choice but to fight!"
Zhang Junbao's aura surged wildly, and a terrifying light suddenly emanated from his body; he had begun to burn his soul.
This is what makes the Virtual Universe Network so powerful; it can simulate even desperate moves like burning one's soul perfectly, so you don't have to worry about actually burning your soul.
"After burning your soul, it can only last for a maximum of one minute. You must unleash your strongest, most desperate attack!"
The light emanating from Zhang Junbao was dazzling to the extreme, and even the longsword in his hand instantly transformed into Light Sword.
At this moment, the domain around Zhang Junbao's body rapidly shrank, and finally, after being extremely compressed, it converged onto the sword in his hand.
Burning one's soul to the death is a desperate secret technique that only those who have mastered the domain can unleash. It combines the soul, Genetic Origin Energy, power, will, and everything within the body, communicating with the universe to unleash the most powerful attack.
Its power is extremely terrifying; even the desperate secret techniques of the Spirit Reader of the Yunmo Star Lineage cannot compare to its power.
But precisely because of this, after using this move, the user will basically die from exhaustion.
call out!
Zhang Junbao transformed into a beam of light in mid-air, striking the Golden Horned Beast directly.
The Golden Horned Beast opposite finally sensed the danger, and the golden horn on its head emitted a dazzling golden light, which was the desperate secret technique of their Golden Horned Beast Clan.
At the same time, the scales with golden patterns on the neck and back of the Golden Horned Beast's massive body also lit up. These Golden Light quickly traveled along the patterns and were transmitted directly to the Golden Horned Beast's huge wings!
In an instant, the wings seemed to grow slightly larger, and their shape even changed slightly.
The Golden Horned Beast collided with Zhang Junbao like a Golden Flowing Light.
The entire sky burst forth with an extremely dazzling light, as if a giant Sun stood in the sky, one side white and the other gold.
The white light that Zhang Junbao transformed into grew smaller and smaller until it finally became an extremely thin longsword, which completely pierced through the Golden Horned Beast.
Although the Golden Horned Beast also used a secret technique, its combat experience was not extensive. At the last moment, Zhang Junbao merged himself into the longsword, transforming his body into the sword and attaching his soul to it, successfully piercing through the Golden Horned Beast's body.
The longsword struck the transparent crystal sphere inside the Golden Horned Beast's body, which emitted Golden Light.
" The Virtual Universe Network has even simulated the Soul Crystal Ball of the Golden Horned Beast. Let me see just how strong its soul defense really is!"
Go to hell!
