Fantasy Antagonist: After I Acted Lazy, The Protagonist Went Off The Rails.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank Jiang Chen!"

"If it weren't for Jiang Chen killing Mo Yuan, I wouldn't have been able to devour his essence!"

"Mo Yuan is far better than Qin Ershi!"

Just thinking about this, Dugu Yun couldn't help but lick his lips!

If he had to choose between the two, he would definitely choose Mo Yuan's side.

As a Heavenly Demon prodigy, both in terms of Heavenly Demon and Yuan Yuanke, he was superior to Qin Ershi.

Especially that supreme physical body, which made Dugu Yun extremely envious. He had long wanted to devour Mo Yuan's essence.

But due to his strength and identity, Dugu Yun didn't dare to act on his thoughts.

In terms of identity, he was definitely inferior to Mo Yuan.

Once he made a move against Mo Yuan, Dugu Xiong would definitely stand on Mo Yuan's side, Dugu Yun knew this very well.

In terms of strength, he couldn't compare to Mo Yuan at all.

Even if they were at the same level, Dugu Yun didn't have the confidence!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been beaten so badly by the Pure Yang Saint Son.

But now things were different.

After devouring Mo Yuan's essence, if he were to meet the Pure Yang Saint Son again, he would have the power to fight back, even to sweep him away directly.

'Pure Yang Saint Son!'

"I remember!"

Just thinking about the face of the Pure Yang Saint Son not long ago, Dugu Yun became even more angry.

The death list had added another name.

During this period of time, Dugu Yun's death list had no idea how many people were on it.

But none of them had succeeded.

Hmm!

Suddenly.

Dugu Yun's face changed drastically, an inexplicable force erupted within his body, this force was incredibly powerful, completely suppressing him.

And it came too suddenly.

Before he could react.

This force exploded.

With a loud bang, intense fluctuations surged around, creating a large vortex.

"Jiang Chen!"

Dugu Yun struggled to rebuild his physical body, his face pale, filled with hatred.

The next moment.

He became somewhat panicked.

"What's going on!"

"My cultivation realm has dropped!"

"And my soul is affected!"

Dugu Yun was completely in a panic.

Cultivation realm was the foundation of a cultivator, and now his cultivation realm had dropped, no longer in the Life and Death realm.

But directly dropped to the Soul Sea realm.

This kind of loss was irreversible and completely unable to recover.

At the same time, the essence within his body was also affected.

This meant that Dugu Yun, who was at the 13th stage, had to start over.

Starting from the Soul Sea realm.

If it was just starting over, Dugu Yun wouldn't be so angry.

He vaguely felt that this was a hidden danger, even if he were to advance in the future, there might be hidden dangers.

"Could this be Jiang Chen's doing?"

"No, Jiang Chen couldn't have known that I would devour Mo Yuan's essence!"

"Could it be the power left behind by Jiang Chen?"

Dugu Yun's mind was in turmoil, constantly pondering various possibilities.

The former was definitely impossible.

Because Jiang Chen couldn't have predicted that he would devour Mo Yuan's essence.

It was even more impossible for him to know that he had the Immortal Devouring Heaven Technique.

After all, there were only three people who knew that he practiced the Immortal Devouring Heaven Technique.

Dugu Xiong, Canglao, and himself.

He and Dugu Xiong were impossible, they both wanted the Holy Land of Absolute Beginning to be completely destroyed, so it was impossible for them to tell each other.

As for Canglao, it was even more impossible, Canglao had been following him all along.

None of the three were possible.

This meant that Jiang Chen didn't do it on purpose, but rather the power left behind unintentionally when he made his move earlier.

"Damn it!"

Just thinking about this situation, Dugu Yun couldn't help but want to vomit blood.

This was really a stroke of bad luck.

In such a situation, there was still such a unlucky thing happening?

He's completely numb.

This time, not only did he gain nothing, but he suffered a huge loss.

Lost the wife and the soldiers.

Phew!

"No, I have to leave the Supreme Hall!"

"If I continue like this, I will undoubtedly die!"

Dugu Yun said to himself in his heart.

Now that his identity has been exposed, it will soon spread.

If he continues to stay here, he will inevitably be hunted down by people from the outside world.

If his cultivation level hadn't fallen, it would have been fine, but now that it has fallen, anyone can kill him.

And if he stays here for too long, people from the outside world will block him at the entrance.

After all, the danger inside is real, and the danger outside is even greater.

Once his identity is exposed, he will undoubtedly die.

Even Dugu Xiong wouldn't dare to make a move.

Sigh.

Dugu Yun sighed and looked into the distance at the sky with regret.

He originally wanted to gain opportunities and improve his strength here.

But he didn't expect to gain nothing and suffer heavy losses instead.

"All of this is because of Jiang Chen!"

Thinking of this, Dugu Yun became more and more angry, and his hatred for Jiang Chen became more and more terrifying.

If Jiang Chen were in front of him, he would definitely use all eighteen forms of torture.

He wanted Jiang Chen to suffer a fate worse than death, but he couldn't die.

Because both incidents were caused by Jiang Chen.

One was when Jiang Chen killed Moyuan, preventing him from obtaining Qin Ershi's body.

The other was the residual power that caused him to be seriously injured.

"Tsk tsk, the power has been triggered!"

"This Dugu Yun is really impatient!"

"He's not afraid of death, but is he not afraid of being seen by others around him?"

Feeling the fluctuations coming from afar, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile.

When he dealt with Moyuan, he deliberately left behind a hidden power, waiting for Dugu Yun to take the bait.

As long as this guy dared to devour the essence of Moyuan, this power would be triggered and inflict heavy damage on Dugu Yun.

He could either lie in bed for half a year or have his cultivation level drop.

"Now Dugu Yun should be furious and probably didn't expect that I did it on purpose. He probably thinks it was an unintentional power left behind!"

"But according to this guy's character, he definitely hates me even more!"

Jiang Chen said with a smile.

He knew Dugu Yun too well, understanding both his impatience and his personal mentality.

Because he knew that Dugu Yun was eager to absorb the essence of Moyuan, he was able to leave behind the hidden thunder inside.

It was meant to give Dugu Yun a wake-up call.

Clearly, Dugu Yun had received this wake-up call.

Actually, if Dugu Yun had waited for a while before devouring the essence, the effect of this hidden thunder wouldn't have been so severe. But unfortunately, Dugu Yun wasn't that cautious of a person. He couldn't wait after seeing an opportunity.

If he had been more cautious, he might have absorbed less essence, but he wouldn't have triggered the hidden thunder.

At least he wouldn't have been seriously injured, and his strength could still improve.

Now Dugu Yun was too impatient, desperately absorbing the essence of Moyuan, resulting in a huge loss.

"If this guy knew it was intentional!"

"Would he be so angry that he would jump up and down?"

Thinking of Dugu Yun's reaction after knowing the truth, Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh.

According to Dugu Yun's character, he would most likely do so.

He might even lose his composure and directly attack Jiang Chen.

Huh?

Jiang Chen seemed to sense something and reached out with his hand.

Almost at the same time.

Inside the Sword Island, the magnificent palace slowly opened, and Jing Muyu walked out of it with great excitement.

"Brother Jiang Chen, Sister Yuru!"

Jing Muyu jumped out, constantly looking for the figures of Jiang Chen and Yan Yuru, as if she had something happy to tell them.

However.

After scanning around and not seeing the two, Jing Muyu felt extremely uncomfortable and disappointed.

But soon, a powerful force swept over.

Before Jing Muyu could react, Jiang Chen had already appeared in front of him.

"How do you feel?"

Jiang Chen gently touched Mirror Muyu's head and smiled as he asked, "How do you feel?"

"It feels great!" Mirror Muyu replied.

"Brother Jiang Chen, I have already reached the Divine Straight Realm!" she said, showcasing her strength.

She waved her hands, and sword energy swirled around her like a wandering dragon.

"Not bad!" Jiang Chen praised. "It won't be long before Muyu catches up to me."

"When that happens, I will be able to rely on you," he added.

Jiang Chen was generous with his praise. Mirror Muyu's talents were exceptional, and if she continued to grow, he wouldn't need to intervene.

Mirror Muyu could sweep through everything on her own.

"Brother Jiang Chen, rest assured," she said confidently. "In the future, I will let you retire and enjoy your old age."

This was her wish.

After Yan Ruyu brought her back, Mirror Muyu only wanted Yan Ruyu and Jiang Chen to be happy.

As long as the two of them were happy, she would do anything.

It was precisely because of this that Mirror Muyu worked so hard in her cultivation.

She didn't want to disappoint Jiang Chen and Yan Ruyu.

They had high expectations of her, and she wanted to become someone important to them, not just an ordinary person.

"I believe in you," Jiang Chen said with a smile.

Mirror Muyu's storyline had completely deviated from the original, and she had a better environment for cultivation.

With her talent, her strength would undoubtedly grow rapidly in the future.

Although surpassing him was not very realistic, there was still a great hope of becoming a powerful figure in the future.

Not long after, the nearby palace doors opened.

Yan Ruyu walked out, dressed in white, her body crystal clear, her flowing black hair dancing in the wind.

Her eyes, like black pearls, exuded astonishing charm. Every move she made was like a goddess, full of charm.

She stood there, shining like the brightest light in the world, standing out even in a crowd.

She was unforgettable at first sight.

"Saintess!" Yan Ruyu ran over in excitement and said cheerfully, "I have entered the Great Venerable Realm!"

She had already entered the Great Venerable Realm.

Although it was only the first level of the Great Venerable Realm, it was still the Great Venerable Realm.

She had truly entered the ranks of the peerless geniuses.

Jiang Chen wasn't too surprised, but he still congratulated her, saying, "Congratulations!"

"When you advance a few realms, I won't need to intervene as often," he added.

The stronger Yan Ruyu became, the more satisfied he was.

Because when Yan Ruyu became powerful in the future, he wouldn't need to intervene specially.

He could just let Yan Ruyu handle it.

Sometimes, constantly intervening made Jiang Chen feel tired.

If he could avoid intervening, he would.

"I will definitely fulfill the Saintess's wishes!" Yan Ruyu said with great joy.

After stepping into the Great Venerable Realm, she could finally follow in Jiang Chen's footsteps.

She wouldn't have to look up to him like before, unable to even see his back.

"Now that you have both come out of seclusion," Jiang Chen said calmly, "it's time to enter the final level."

The Supreme Hall was roughly divided into two levels.

The first level was where they currently were.

All the opportunities were scattered among the islands, and as long as they could defeat the fierce beasts guarding the palaces, they could obtain opportunities.

The stronger the opportunity, the stronger the fierce beast guarding it.

The second level was different.

It was a test, and also the most important test.

They would earn points based on the level of the test they could endure.

These points would affect their subsequent rankings, with higher levels earning more points.

In addition, there were hidden achievements inside.

By going through all the levels, they would obtain an inheritance left behind by the ancient Immortal.

Of course, not all inheritances.

And it's not like no one has ever passed this assessment.

In fact, over the long years, a few people have passed the assessment.

And they have received an inheritance.

The inheritances are completely different, with special natural treasures, immortal scriptures, and special elixirs.

As for what they receive, it's all different.

In the original work, Dugu Yun passed all the levels and obtained an inheritance.

"Speaking of which, how did Dugu Yun pass the test!"

This puzzled Jiang Chen greatly.

In the original work, Dugu Yun was only in the True King Realm, but he was able to suppress all the geniuses and pass the second level's test in one go.

When he read the book, he found it unbelievable.

A bunch of peerless geniuses couldn't do it, and they were even in the Great Venerable Realm.

But Dugu Yun, in the True King Realm, did it.

In the original work, Dugu Yun's reputation reached a high level because of this plot, which also led to doubts about Jiang Chen within the Holy Land of Absolute Beginning.

Why the doubts? Because he failed in this trial.

Although his performance was considered good, it was only at the level of the top ten, far from Dugu Yun's level.

"This is definitely the protagonist's halo!"

Although he hadn't tried it, 037 couldn't help but think that it was ridiculous that a bunch of geniuses couldn't pass, but Dugu Yun did.

And these geniuses were all extraordinary.

Jin Changhe, Pure Yang Saint Son, Huang Qingtian, and others were among them.

Even so, Dugu Yun completely surpassed them.

It was simply unbelievable.

Because of this plot, Dugu Yun's plan was completely successful, and he became famous in the Nine Heavens Realm.

At the same time, doubts about Jiang Chen began to arise internally, and they grew stronger.

This led to Jiang Chen losing his fame in the future.

The reason for this was also because the Tai Chu Saint Lord and Mu Jianxue died in the original work.

Otherwise, no matter how much they doubted, it would be useless.

The Tai Chu Saint Lord made the final decision. If anyone dared to oppose it, they would be sent to reflect on their actions.

Now the second level has not been truly opened.

To open the second level, the five ferocious beasts inside need to be killed.

Three of them are on different islands.

The Sword Beast and the Yin Yang Tiger are among them, and there is another one in another inheritance.

As for the remaining two ferocious beasts, they are in the depths of the vast ocean. As long as these two are killed, the second level will be completely opened.

However, these two ferocious beasts are not simple; they are at the quasi-saint level.

In the original work, in order to kill these two quasi-saint ferocious beasts, the geniuses had to go to great lengths to kill one of them, while the other one was directly killed by Huang Qingtian.

Huang Qingtian's killing of a quasi-saint ferocious beast led to countless people boasting that he was definitely the number one.

Who knew that someone with the protagonist's halo would appear, causing Huang Qingtian to pale in comparison.

But Huang Qingtian didn't hold a grudge because of this.

His character was similar to Qin Ershi's.

Now that both of them have come out, Jiang Chen naturally doesn't want to stay on the first level anymore.

He is ready to completely open the second level and enter the trials within.

"The last ferocious beast of the inheritance should have been killed!"

"I should be close to killing those two quasi-saint ferocious beasts now!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen, along with Yan Ruyu and Jing Muyu, rushed forward like a streak of light, like a shooting star, passing by in a flash.

Not long after, he arrived at the depths of the vast ocean.

Here, the islands are scarce, almost invisible, as if completely isolated from the surrounding environment, like another world.

Boom!

Seemingly alarmed by something, the ocean below churned up terrifying waves, and dozens of terrifying whirlpools emerged, releasing two powerful forces.

In the depths of the ocean, two incredibly huge shadows appeared.

Boom!

The water surface completely exploded, and two incredibly huge fish jumped out, opening their blood-filled mouths and pounced towards Jiang Chen.

"Die!"

Jiang Chen's expression remained calm as he slapped his hand.

With a loud bang.

The so-called quasi-saints were like ants, directly slapped to death.

Another slap, and the other quasi-saint also perished.

The two quasi-saints died in Jiang Chen's hands just like that, like ants, easily crushed.

Boom!

With the death of the two quasi-saints, it was as if something had been activated.

The sky completely cracked open, revealing a huge gap!

The trial of the final level has begun!
