Infernal Artist

No one was around.

There is no one but this statue.

Strange things.

Where did those sounds come from?

Liu Ping was a little confused.

Since waking up, he has seen too many incredible things, and he is not panicking now, nor is he in a hurry to draw any conclusions.

He stood opposite the statue, examined it carefully, and finally concluded that it was an ordinary stone statue.

What good can a statue do?

Just as I was thinking about it, lines of small words appeared in the void:

"A high-level blessing technique has come to you."

"You have received the Holy Spirit's blessing and burning life."

"When this technique works on you, your vitality will become more powerful and you will not die easily within twenty minutes."

"Be careful, this spell will consume your life."

Liu Ping looked around and saw a dim light appearing around him.

These lights seem to be full of sacred meaning, replenishing all consumption at any time.

sharp……

I never thought a statue could have such a role!

Liu Ping felt that it was an eye-opener, but it consumed his life...

He simply flew over and landed outside the secret room.

Those lights disappeared immediately.

Two lines of small words appeared in the void:

"You are out of the reach of the Jiabai Art."

"You have lost the power and effect of Holy Spirit Jiabi·Burning Life."

Liu Ping asked: "Is that thing with special fluctuations this statue?"

Lines of small characters appeared:

"correct."

“Its appearance provides the basis for theological study of this sequence.”

"Please note that you must be cautious about religion in this era, otherwise it may be catastrophic."

Liu Ping said: "Except for the hexagram technique, all life-consuming techniques have always been extremely powerful and dangerous. You don't need to tell me this. I naturally know to be careful."

Two more lines of small characters appeared:

"Put your hands on the statue and be sure not to disengage until I say it's okay to let go."

"What do you want to do?" Liu Ping asked.

A line of small text explained: "I will absorb all its power and transform it into a type that you can absorb."

"While you are building your foundation, this power may help you awaken your extraordinary magical powers."

This is harvest time!

Liu Ping entered the secret room again and pressed his hand on the statue.

A faint ray of light fell from the female statue, followed his arm, and sank into his body.

A line of small words jumped out:

"Start to draw strength, please be patient."

Liu Ping just stood still.

When time began to pass, everything around him became dead again.

Suddenly, a voice sounded from the statue:

"Who is it? Who is blaspheming the power of pain?"

The statue actually opened its eyes, raised its head and looked around, and gradually met Liu Ping's gaze.

"A mortal, you-"

In an instant, a line of small words quickly appeared in front of Liu Ping:

"Drained all the power!"

Along with these words, the statue closed its eyes and slowly lowered its head.

The emotion and life force drained from it.

At the same time, the Holy Spirit Jiabi and Fate Technique that enveloped Liu Ping completely disappeared.

Liu Ping let go of his hand and took a few steps back. Only then did he realize that a cold sweat broke out on his back.

"What is this? Why does it make me feel desperate?" Liu Ping asked.

Lines of small characters jumped out:

"monster."

"There is no comparative data on this monster in the database, and its specific situation cannot be determined."

"Please rest assured that when absorbing power, this sequence has opened 800 million isolation barriers. Although this sequence does not know what the strength of this monster is, its true body is extremely far away from here. After losing that ray of power, According to general rules, it will not be able to determine the specific location of this place, and it will not be able to rush over in time."

"No matter what, I'll leave here first." Liu Ping said.

Small words appeared again in the void:

"It's a prudent choice."

Liu Ping turned around and left the secret room.

- He didn't want to stay in front of this statue for a minute.

after awhile.

Liu Ping searched the town thoroughly.

On the contrary, he met a few beings like Old K, and he killed them one by one with bullets.

He continued to observe for a while, and after making sure that there were no hidden dangers nearby, he found a hiding place, sat cross-legged, and began to adjust his breathing slowly.

A quarter of an hour later.

A perfect aura appeared behind Liu Ping again.

Strength is the foundation of everything. Strength must be improved first before talking about other things.

——It’s time to start!

Liu Ping shouted: "Broken."

In an instant, all the visions behind him were completely shattered, turning into wisps of spiritual light that condensed in the air, like threads of different lengths.

Liu Ping opened his mouth and sucked in all the spiritual threads into his belly.

The threads formed by these auras seemed to be conscious, naturally sinking into Liu Ping's limbs and swimming back and forth around him at extremely fast speeds.

This is when the skyrocketing spiritual energy begins to expand its accommodation: the meridians, in accordance with the natural laws of cultivation.

Liu Ping endured the pain and silently ran the Foundation Building Technique. When the meridians around his body became wider and the spiritual threads slowed down and became calmer, he guided the spiritual threads one by one to his Dantian.

All the spiritual threads gathered together in Dantian and gradually turned into a whirlpool.

The spiritual pool in the dantian suddenly expanded in a circle, and more spiritual energy was drawn by the whirlpool, like rivers returning to the sea, and submerged into the dantian.

When all the spiritual power had not entered his dantian, the vortex disappeared, and the filled spiritual threads spread throughout his meridians, causing Liu Ping's spiritual power to surge suddenly.

This is the foundation building.

A strange feeling descended from heaven and earth, and at the same time, a power that did not belong to him emerged from Liu Ping's body. It interacted with heaven and earth and transformed, covering him like a gauze.

In the void, lines of small characters appeared quickly:

"You have completed the foundation building."

"Your spiritual power has been greatly improved."

"In the laws of heaven and earth you triggered, this sequence incorporates the strange power on the statue, helping you open the door to the chosen magical power."

"Please choose from the following three magical powers:"

"One, the art of early death."

"This is a secret technique of spiritual practice."

"If you have some connections in Underworld, you can use this technique to die early, ask those ghost soldiers to help you get a boat to sneak to Underworld, and then immediately be reincarnated in a safe place - if it's too late."

"Two, Ascension Method (Physics Collector's Edition)."

"Summon a huge war hammer to help you transcend the limitations of realms and worlds, and soar directly to an extremely distant world outside the sky."

"——This is a secret technique from the upper level of the void."

"Third, void equivalent exchange: hexagram technique."

"The secret of heaven is unpredictable, but your hexagram technique is a real spiritual power, and it is a very advanced one. If you choose this option, this sequence will exchange your hexagram technique for another kind of auspiciousness. The ability to avoid evil so that you can survive better."

Liu Ping stared blankly at these lines and couldn't help but said, "Did you take the wrong medicine today?"

Following his words, another line of small words appeared:

"Note that this sequence rarely reveals its true value and charm like this moment."

"Please take the time to make your choice, otherwise once a new situation occurs, this sequence will enter a silent state again to conceal its whereabouts."

"At that time, you will lose the opportunity to obtain the magical power of the void."

Liu Ping paused.

——This line of writing is actually urging me!

But if you think about it carefully, the environment you are in now is not safe.

Everything is different from the past...

Maybe it's right to be so cautious!

Liu Ping calmed down and looked at the three options.

The first art of early death, don’t even look at it, just give up.

After all, although he can exorcise ghosts and tell fortunes, he has no friendship with the ghosts and gods of Huangquan.

Huangquan——

The world of death that I saw with my own eyes was completely different from the legendary underworld!

Perhaps because of this, a special explanation appears for this option:

"If you can."

——What if it’s too late?

Dead in vain?

Based on my current situation, I am afraid that after death, I will directly enter the world of death and become the dead there.

And the dead...

In Wang Cheng's words, it is the wealth of certain existences.

Liu Ping shook his head and looked at the second item.

——Use a huge war hammer to help you soar directly.

Wouldn't this kind of thing be directly hammered to death?

Liu Ping felt a little uneasy.

Going to another outer world is an opportunity, but it also comes with corresponding huge risks.

In the outer world, how can I survive as an ant in the Qi refining stage?

Putting this aside, if I could directly go to a more powerful world of cultivation, I would be willing to start from the bottom even if I had to.

Moreover, there is a special explanation for this item——

"This is a secret technique from the upper levels of the void."

Obviously, this is a precious opportunity to help himself escape from this world that is in catastrophe.

but……

The world of cultivation is your original home. In this world, you still have unfinished business.

How could you give up your own world!

Liu Ping looked at the third option.

Hexagram technique.

This is the power that I have already mastered.

At present, the heavenly secrets are in chaos, and all hexagram techniques are in a useless predicament. At this time, if the hexagram techniques can be used in another form, it can be considered a good choice.

Besides, hexagram techniques are extremely rare and difficult to master in the world of spiritual practice.

If it is truly an "equivalent" exchange...

I want to see what I can get in exchange.

Liu Ping made his decision and said, "I choose the third option."

"you sure?"

"Sure."

"According to the principle of equivalence, this sequence is exchanging your hexagram technique for another ability."

"This process requires verification and value weighing from countless magical powers in the void, which takes about two hours."

"In two hours, your magical powers will awaken."
