Chapter 393: Endless

"You have been faking it from start to finish; you weren't injured at all!"

"Only just realized? Sorry, it's already too late!"

The Mountain and River Map shook out, and accompanied by a roar filled with unwillingness and a hint of grievance, another old monster was successfully suppressed and eliminated; the entire process went smoothly to an absurd degree.

Who told these people that their strength had not recovered, and that they were too greedy? Sensing his weak aura, they all impatiently wanted to devour him.

Putting away the Mountain and River Map, Shen Yu smiled confidently. Excluding the one who came first pretending to be a hunter, he had already killed three in a row; it could be called a bumper harvest.

He used himself as bait to fish; these old monsters would come one after another upon smelling the scent, falling one by one into the traps he had long since laid.

With the Time Golden Chapter as a cover, his disguise was perfect; no one would notice anything.

In this world, greed is the most undesirable thing. Since they were greedy, it serves them right to fall into the trap!

After finishing off this one, Shen Yu waited in the same spot for quite a while, but after waiting and waiting, no one else came.

It seems that within a radius of eight hundred to a thousand miles, these are likely all who could sense his aura, and he has already rounded them all up in one go.

There must still be revived old monsters, but they cannot sense his existence for the time being.

It doesn't matter; he will catch his breath, change locations, change the time, and continue.

Although this routine is old-fashioned, it is undeniably effective. Let's take it slow; no need to rush.

"System, sign in!"

"Sign-in successful, obtained one realm elevation!"

"Realm elevation? A bumper harvest!" The massive gains brought by three old monsters in a row made Shen Yu unable to help but reveal an excited smile.

A realm elevation; he has now reached a height he never dared to imagine before. He truly wonders what kind of world it would be if he could go one step further.

Before Shen Yu could react from his excitement, as a ray of light enveloped his body, a violent force surged through his entire body in an instant, like a vast sea, with no end in sight.

He only had time to unfold the Mountain and River Map to protect himself before being submerged by this vast power.

Fortunately, with the protection of the Mountain and River Map, even if something went wrong, unless the other party could tear the Mountain and River Map to shreds, they would never be able to harm him in the slightest.

Of course, if the other party were to foolishly step into the range of the Mountain and River Map, then there would be only one outcome awaiting them.

The Mountain and River Map, now possessing the Eight-Cornered Prison-Suppressing Tower, is the most secure Prison in this world, enough to make any arrogant person suffer bitterly.

At this moment, Shen Yu had no time to think; the next instant, endless power erupted from within his body, from the inside out.

He only felt his whole body burning unbearably, as if being calcined by a raging fire, and as if undergoing a thousand hammerings and a hundred refinements.

Every cell was forcibly stuffed with a massive amount of energy, and each seemed to be enduring the tempering of an unbearable force.

This rapid elevation did not bring the comfortable feeling of a spring breeze, but rather bloating pain—a pain that pierced the heart.

Every part of his body sent out tearing pain, as if it might not be able to hold on at any moment. Cold sweat soaked his entire body and dampened his clothes.

Shen Yu felt as if his teeth were about to be crushed, yet this pain persisted, as if it would never cease.

To be honest, Shen Yu's life before wasn't exactly pampered, but he hadn't suffered much either; his days were usually smooth sailing, and he had never experienced this kind of situation.

This experience was the most intense pain he had suffered since coming to this World, painful enough to make one want to scream out loud.

It was as if the flesh and blood of his body were being sliced off piece by piece. Isn't this supposed to be a realm elevation? How could it be like this? Is this even letting a person live?

The sudden, sharp pain almost made him collapse and go berserk.

If there were an option to give up, he probably would have chosen it by now. Who could have imagined that signing in could bring such great pain?

At this moment, Shen Yu's body was undergoing a massive transformation, much like evolution; the metamorphosis of a butterfly is bound to involve pain.

Only by undergoing a thousand hammerings and a hundred refinements can scrap iron be forged into fine steel.

At the same time, he also gradually seemed to fall into an epiphany. For a moment, it was as if he had experienced a thousand years of time and seen through the vicissitudes of the world.

The scenery before his eyes also seemed to change constantly; one second it was birds singing and flowers fragrant, and the next it had turned into a world of ice and snow, or raging fire and molten lava.

Ten thousand kinds of scenes, an endless world, the love, hate, and grievances of the world, and all the entanglements and disturbances surged in his heart. It was as if he had experienced and realized them one by one.

His Spiritual Sea also continued to condense and churn as his insights deepened, becoming broader and more solid.

Finally, under the dual massive changes of body and spirit, and not knowing how long he had held on, he suddenly seemed to hear a 'Crack!' sound in his ears.

Immediately following, he felt his whole body shake, and his body felt unprecedentedly light, as if he were floating like an immortal.

At this very moment, Shen Yu knew he had completely stepped into a brand-new realm. With a single thought, all things were under his control. With a wave of his hand, he could move mountains and fill seas, chasing the wind and the sun.

However, he was also very clear that this was just a lack of self-awareness after a sudden surge in strength. The suddenly increased strength makes one have a mysterious confidence.

Once he familiarized himself with this brand-new realm and adjusted himself, there would be no more problems.

He wandered around the spot a few more times, familiarizing himself with his brand-new realm power while checking to see if any more old monsters would come.

As a result, after waiting for a long time again, still no one came. Having no choice, Shen Yu had to leave this place and change to the next location to continue fishing.

His time is limited; he cannot waste it in one place.

When Shen Yu's figure had been gone from the spot for quite a while, a seductive woman appeared there, looked at the place with lingering fear, and then hurriedly left quickly.

This seductive woman did not choose to enter the prosperous areas but fled into the mountains and forests.

It wasn't that she was cowardly; the blame lies in the fact that the other party was too damn ferocious. From the moment that person pretending to be a hunter arrived, the woman had actually already arrived.

It was just that her strongest and proudest skill was breath-holding; compared to others, she was the true master of acting—she could pretend to be anything, and it was impossible to tell the difference.

As early as the beginning, she had already restrained her own aura, making it impossible to detect, like grass, trees, bamboo, or stone, and had quietly approached Shen Yu just like that.

At first, she thought of a sneak attack, to suddenly give Shen Yu a fatal blow.

It was a pity that a hunter suddenly arrived at this time and interfered, causing the seductive woman, who had intended to sneak up and attack, to stop immediately.

She was not good at head-on confrontations and usually played at sneak attacks. If she were to go out and snatch things by force, she would probably be beaten until she couldn't take care of herself.

Therefore, she had not appeared, waiting for the other party to make a move, and when they thought victory was in their grasp and were smug, she would sneak attack to reap the fisherman's profit.

But she did not expect that the development of events would far exceed her expectations.

In the blink of an eye, the original hunter and prey swapped places in an instant; that prey transformed into a hunter and killed the original hunter in one fell swoop.

She had not seen with her own eyes how ferocious that scene was; she only saw that Shen Yu had an extra Painting Scroll in his hand, and not long after, that early bird was dead without even a scrap left.

Having secretly seen such a scene, she was scared quite badly, and immediately decided to wait and see how things developed—which actually meant hiding and not coming out. After all, although this Heavenly Pride is good, one must have the life to enjoy it.

Facts proved that her cautiousness was entirely correct. Three waves of people came one after another, and not a single one could last for even a quarter of an hour.

In particular, the fleeting aura that the young man revealed before he left was clearly captured by her. It had clearly surpassed the limits of the world and exceeded the scope of the Void Realm.

No wonder this young man killed people as easily as chopping melons and vegetables; with such a gap in strength, who could possibly be his opponent? It was simply too bullying.

Young people nowadays are not as honest as they used to be; not only have they learned to disguise themselves, but they have also learned to fish for prey—who could stand this!
