Activating this Spiritual Emperorâs Virtual Battle certainly comes at a cost. In fact, it is high technology from the Martial Realm. Within the Corpse King Palace, there are only twelve Hall Masters who each control one machine, which shows how precious they are!
However, historically, only the absolute geniuses within the Corpse King Palace have been able to initiate the Spiritual Emperorâs Virtual Battle. As such, the core of the Spiritual Emperorâs Virtual Battle Formation is actually built in the secret treasury of the Corpse King Palace, and all the resources of the entire treasury can be used at will!
What the twelve Hall Masters control are individual sections of the formation. Once activated, resources will be directly called upon from the secret treasury to maintain it!
Donât think that mental combat is easy to endure just because itâs based on Divine Sense. In reality, even though death in mental combat isnât real, the sensation of dying is extremely authentic, and no one enjoys experiencing such death repeatedly!
Of course, Ye Luo is an exception. It seems that, to Ye Luo, the death experienced in mental combat doesnât seem to bring any psychological trauma at all!
Mental combat is incredibly fast, akin to combat at the level of thought. A single thought can lead to countless exchanges!
As a result, what seems to be a brief moment in reality can feel like countless attempts for Ye Luo!
"Again! Again! Haha, this is exhilarating! Just you wait, this time, I will definitely defeat you!"
With a smile on his face, Ye Luo is still not awake, but is speaking these words through his Divine Sense!
Inside the secret treasury of the Corpse King Palace, a massive amount of resources is quickly being consumed. Not to mention anything else, even Ye Luoâs Divine Sense is nearly depleted, which goes to show the enormity of the consumption!
The Corpse King Palace has spent a millennium accumulating resources, almost plundering the entire Hidden Sect, yet unconsciously, Ye Luo has used up the majority of them. Neither Ye Luo nor the Corpse King Palace has realized this!
What a serendipitous occurrence!
Once again, Ye Luo enters the fight and starts his challenge.
"The countdown is over, the match begins!"
Accompanied by this announcement, an instant later a new round of combat has already erupted!
"Imperial Dragon Artâs Purple Imperial Dragon Seal!"
A Dragon Shadow flashes suddenly, and when Ye Luo makes his move, it is a terrifying blow!
However, at the same time as delivering this formidable attack, Ye Luo doesnât hesitate; he instantly initiates Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens and abruptly dodges to the side!
Ye Luoâs sword gleams extraordinarily as he lunges for another terrifying attack, aiming it right at the modelled Hall Master!
The modelled Hall Master withstands Ye Luoâs Imperial Dragon Art attack but doesnât expect that Ye Luoâs second attack would arrive so quickly, so he seems a bit flustered in his hurried defense.
But that strike was merely a feint, a distracting attack intended only to create an opening for Ye Luoâs next move.
At the same moment the modelled Hall Master blocks the blow, Ye Luo launches another new attack!
"Lingyun Sword Techniqueâs sixth form, One Sword Splits the Sky!"
Ye Luo raises the Lingyun Sword high for the ultimate strike, but simultaneously, a flash of golden light in his body is carefully hidden within the swordâs radiance, as a stream of Earth Fire surges forth!
As for the modelled Hall Master, he is left only with the capacity to defend, even appearing somewhat panicked, despite his clearly formidable strength.
This is the power of tempo control. In a straightforward fight, especially a one-on-one duel, whoever controls the rhythm has essentially locked in their victory!
Suddenly, just when Ye Luo is about to deliver the final blow to the modelled Hall Master, a flicker occurs and Ye Luoâs Divine Sense snaps back to reality. Apparently, due to the huge consumption by Ye Luo, he triggered the Corpse King Palaceâs minimal reserve alert, causing the supply to the Spiritual Emperorâs Virtual Battle to stop and ending Ye Luoâs mental combat!
Whether Ye Luo likes it or not, thatâs the fact!
With no other choice, Ye Luo could only turn on the TV, watching it while reflecting on the recent battle, organizing his gains!
...
Bai Jie returned from outside, and when she saw Ye Luo watching TV listlessly, she actually froze for a moment.
However, Bai Jie quickly snapped out of it, went straight to the only vent hole, and handed in her items.
It turned out that Bai Jie went out to buy food.
Ye Luo saw the food being handed in and knew that the vent hole led to the outside. He immediately shouted loudly, "Hey, beauty, what on earth do you want to do by locking me in here? What do you want? Speak up!"
Ye Luo didnât believe Bai Jie really wanted him to accompany her for life, as Bai Jie was not someone he remembered at all in his heart.
Hall Master Nine? Ye Luo admitted that Hall Master Nine was his woman, but he could not imagine that Hall Master Nine would imprison her, and he couldnât find anyone else who was a likely suspect!
If it was an enemy? They probably would have already slain Ye Luo, rather than imprison him!
Even if it was imprisonment, there must be a purpose, not just to have him accompany her for life!
If it was one of Ye Luoâs women? Even less likely would they imprison Ye Luo, so he was utterly confused.
Regrettably, there was no response from the outside. Ye Luo, with no other choice, ate the food and then turned his television back on, ignoring the messages on Penguin.
...
Suddenly, the attribute of the poisonous gas in the room began to change. Ye Luo could clearly feel that the amount of anesthetic had significantly increased. Ye Luo didnât know what Bai Jie wanted to do, but without his True Yuan, he no longer had the strength to resist as the anesthetic took effect, slowly succumbing to unconsciousness.
Hall Master Nine pushed the door and entered, though she wasnât quite sure why she chose to come inâperhaps because Ye Luo ignored her, or perhaps for some other reason.
However, in the end, Hall Master Nine entered.
The room seemed to have no door on the surface, but naturally, there was one concealed by a formation by Hall Master Nine.
And without his cultivation, Ye Luo certainly couldnât see it.
Seeing Ye Luo slumped over the table, Hall Master Nine was momentarily lost in thought. In Bai Jieâs heart, she truly didnât know how to deal with Ye Luo, her heart was filled with contradictions.
After about half an hour, Bai Jie merely looked at Ye Luo without speaking or making any move.
The anesthetic remained and wouldnât dissipate until Bai Jie actively replaced the air in the room.
Unfortunately, Bai Jie still underestimated Ye Luo!
Even if Ye Luo lost his True Yuan, lost his cultivation,
His special bloodline would never be lost!
Just an anesthetic, under the power of the Seven-colored Power, had actually already been neutralized by Ye Luo. He slumped over, wanting to see what Bai Jie was planning.
Regrettably, Bai Jie did nothing.
"Sigh..."
Bai Jie sighed, turned around and prepared to leave, but at that moment, Ye Luo suddenly sprang up and in an instant pinned Bai Jie down on the bed!
Behind Ye Luo, a glow emerged from Bai Jieâs hands, indicating that Bai Jie could easily escape, but Bai Jie did not do so!
"Well, it turns out to be you! I wondered who wanted to imprison me, never thought it would be you! What, thinking about rebelling? Even daring to lock up your own husband?"
Husband!
Just a single word, but it caused Bai Jieâs body to stiffen, and even the light in her hands disappeared!
