Hearing the rules of the stone door, Ye Chen was silent for a while. Then, he walked toward the virtual reality helmet like a lonely traveler walking toward the end of his life.
He reached out and picked up the virtual reality helmet. Without any hesitation, he put it on. Immediately, he felt a weak electric current that connected his brain to another world.
Hua ~ ~
Before he could open his eyes, he was woken up by the noise of this world. Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes and looked around. A colorful and strange thing came into his sight.
This was a spacious martial arts stage. It was tall and majestic. There were layers of people sitting around the martial arts stage. Roars, cheers, and all kinds of noises that made one's heart beat faster filled this space.
The sky here was blue and clear like a stadium. Everyone's cheers soared into the sky. Only a few drifting white clouds remained indifferent.
Suddenly, a voice appeared in Ye Chen's mind. "Which test mode would you like to choose?"
"Second!" Ye Chen said without hesitation.
The first test mode required one to complete one million battles. Even if he completed one battle every hour, he would still need 100 years to complete it!
The low electronic voice sounded. "The final challenge mode has three chances. If you fail three times in a row, you will be eliminated. In the battle resting area, there is a training area and a universe area!"
"In the training area, you can enter all kinds of dangerous maps to fight and hone your battle skills. However, it can't increase your true strength. It can only increase your willpower and battle skills."
"In the universe area, you can observe some profound mysteries. Through comprehension, you can strengthen your own secret techniques and increase your battle strength. However, it can't strengthen your physique!"
Ye Chen nodded slightly. Without hesitation, he said, "Start the challenge!"
"Confirm?"
"Confirm!"
"You are about to enter the first challenge. Your opponent is a low-level Demigod from the beastman civilization!"
"Countdown begins …"
The electronic voice sounded in Ye Chen's mind. The world in front of him suddenly changed. He appeared on a vast martial arts stage. There were waves of cheers all around. It made one's blood boil.
Ye Chen looked around and realized that he had already arrived at the martial arts platform from where he was originally watching from below the stage. He did not look much as everything in front of him was illusory. Only he was real. Therefore, he stared at a spot not far in front of him.
There, a ray of light flickered, and a figure appeared out of thin air. It seemed to be formed by countless numbers of data. It was a burly man with bronze skin, a chiseled face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. His eyes were jade-green and suffused with a faint light, causing people to be shocked.
The burly man clenched his fist and grabbed a thick saber from his back. He stared at Ye Chen coldly and cruelly. Then, as the bell rang to signal the start of the battle, he suddenly rushed over.
"Strength of Savage Beasts, support!"
The tall and sturdy man let out a low roar, and the bones in his entire body crackled like beans, exploding without end. His skin seemed to have turned into metal, and his muscles bulged like dragons, containing a ruthless aura.
"Barbarian Beastmen from the Beastman civilization."
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes. He realized that he could not activate Superman Mode in this battle space. Perhaps the virtual system here did not have records of Lightning Superman Mode and Ant Superman Mode, so he could not activate them.
However, the special places of many civilizations in the ancient world had been recorded, and they could activate the talent ability of each civilization.
For example, the Mayan civilization's Sixth Sense Prophecy Technique.
The Angel Mode of the Angel civilization.
The Bru civilization's self-healing ability …
And this tall and sturdy man in front of him was the racial talent of the Beastman civilization. Therefore, there was no hindrance.
Ye Chen's expression was cold and emotionless. He raised his hand, and a thick ray of divine light condensed and shot out like an aurora. In an instant, it pierced through the tall and sturdy man.
Plop!
The tall and sturdy man's body suddenly stopped, and his face was filled with disbelief. Then, his eyes dimmed, and he fell to the ground.
Hua ~ ~
The audience was in an uproar, and there was a hubbub of voices and cheers.
Ye Chen's expression was cold, and the electronic voice rang in his ears. "Congratulations, you have passed the first challenge. Do you want to proceed to the second challenge?"
"Yes!"
"Confirm?"
"… Confirm!"
As the words fell, a light flashed in front of Ye Chen, and a figure wearing a black robe and holding a scepter appeared. She wore a black bamboo hat that covered her face, but from her delicate body, it could be seen that she was a woman.
"The ancient Babylonian civilization!" Ye Chen frowned slightly.
The ancient Babylonian civilization was a civilization on Earth in recent years, and there were records of it in the Academy of Sciences. It was an extremely mysterious civilization, just like the legendary Atlantis civilization that disappeared in the Atlantic Ocean, and the ancient Egyptian civilization that climbed the pyramids in Africa and left Earth for space.
The ancient Babylonian civilization was good at magic and was proficient in engraving. They could engrave magic runes on an ordinary machine, and this machine would have magical powers.
For example, the broom in the western legends was said to be the flying machine of the ancient Babylonian civilization.
Ye Chen looked at the woman in front of him indifferently. No matter which civilization she was from, in the face of absolute power, everything was futile.
The people of this civilization, due to their unique body structure, could freely absorb the positive energy of the universe and control magical powers.
The body structure of each civilization was slightly different.
For example, in the spiritual civilization, emotions could affect the changes in the body.
In the Beastman civilization, they were born with strong bodies and could go through "Berserk" and "Beastman's Blessing" and other changes.
"Dong …"
A bell tolled to begin the ceremony.
The girl in the black robe slowly raised her head. Under the black bamboo hat, her beautiful white cheeks were revealed. Her skin was as delicate as porcelain, and she had a soul-stirring beauty. However, in Ye Chen's eyes, she was no different from a block of wood. After seeing Bai Yijun's beauty, all other women paled in comparison.
"Gravity Spell!"
"Bursting Flames Spell!"
"Delay Halo!"
The girl in the black robe raised her hand, and the scarlet gem at the top of the scepter glowed with a demonic light. A mysterious force enveloped Ye Chen's body out of thin air. Under the influence of the powerful demigod power, the space around Ye Chen seemed to shrink. There seemed to be countless small invisible hands on the ground that pulled on their bodies, making them unable to move.
At the same time, above his head, a fiery red hexagram appeared. As it rotated, traces of lightning wandered, and a terrifying aura was brewing inside.
At the same time, the spatial binding force around Ye Chen became stronger. All his movements seemed to be pulled by countless ropes, and his movements seemed to be in slow motion.
Ye Chen's expression was cold. In his previous life, he had fought with the people of the ancient Babylonian civilization. The most mysterious thing about this civilization was that it was very difficult to detect their attacks, and they needed to be on guard at all times.
Feeling the pressure of tens of millions of kilograms on his body and the spatial binding force, Ye Chen did not struggle. With these two slowing spells, it was enough to restrict the movements of many intermediate demigods. As for those beginner demigods, they could be killed in a single move.
Ye Chen's body did not move. He looked at the girl in the black robe. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and spat out a bright golden light. It was like a sword of energy, and it expanded in front of the girl in the black robe until it pierced through her bamboo hat and shot out a blood-red dot between her eyebrows.
She had fallen!
As the girl in the black robe fell to the ground, the magic around Ye Chen's body gradually dissipated. The hexagram that was brewing above his head also gradually disappeared.
There was an uproar below the stage, and there was an explosion of cheers.
"Congratulations, you have passed the second test. Do you wish to proceed to the third test?" The electronic voice sounded in Ye Chen's mind.
"Yes!"
"Confirm?"
"Confirm."
As the voice fell, a light flashed in front of Ye Chen, and the whole ground trembled slightly. A tall figure about six meters tall stood in front of Ye Chen. Its whole body was bright silver, and its skin had a metallic luster. Its eyes were like two crystal gems.
It was a robot!
This robot looked quite similar to Ye Chen's silver mechanical warrior in the past, but its body was much smaller. Its metallic luster was pure, and there was a faint protective shield on its surface.
"Mechanical civilization?"
Ye Chen frowned slightly. In the ancient world, the technological power of the mechanical civilization was at the top level. The people of this civilization were all mechanical and were controlled by high-intelligence chips. They had no feelings or emotions, and even their thoughts were written in a mechanical processing factory.
In this civilization, only a few extremely powerful god-level robots or Father God had true self-awareness.
"Dong ~ ~ ~"
The bell rang for the start of the test.
"Aim at the target, lock on, 360-degree scan …" This robot looked down at Ye Chen. Its sapphire-like eyes were filled with information, including combat power, evasion index, fatal weakness, and so on. It was all scanned into the combat system.
"Small nuclear bomb!"
This robot suddenly raised its palm, and its fingers broke open. Black holes extended from the inside, and bullets were shot at Ye Chen.
Every bullet here was made of compressed special metal and was extremely powerful. Even if a novice Demigod expert entered the Ghost God Mode, it would be difficult for them to dodge. They would be attracted by the magnetic field in the bullets and then explode.
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and took a step forward. A protective divine flame appeared on the Divine Flame Set, forming a golden shield. Facing the storm-like attacks, the shield stood firm and did not move.
"Break!" Ye Chen pointed his finger, and a ray of golden light shot out.
This robot's body trembled slightly. The detection system had detected a powerful attack in the danger zone, but it was unable to dodge in time. Its brain was penetrated, and its entire body exploded.
Boom ~ ~
Violent shock waves were set off and swept toward Ye Chen. However, in front of the Divine Flame Set, its power was reduced by 9.90%. Only a trace of aura seeped into his body, but it was completely wiped out.
"A high-level Demigod mechanical civilization."
Ye Chen heaved a sigh of relief in his heart and narrowed his eyes. If this robot was a peak Demigod, the power of its self-explosion would have caused him to be slightly injured.
As the battle came to an end, the audience cheered loudly.
