Chapter 135 The Secret Technique of Consciousness, Number One in the World (Seeking First Subscription)
Asan's eyes and smile gradually turned manic: "Hahaha—you hurt me so much just now, don't run away! Stop right there!"
Boom boom boom boom...
He laughed wildly while slamming his fist into the ground, creating countless cracks.
The earth domain is released and constantly changing, as if it is fighting someone.
While it may seem like he's outsmarting thin air, Ye Yang's soul attacks actually carry the weight of physical attacks, and this is also true within the illusion!
Asan is attacked in the illusion, and will also suffer real physical attacks in reality (the virtual universe).
And so, Asan's eyes became increasingly glazed, and he began to frantically struggle with the air.
"The dominance of true intent is becoming increasingly terrifying."
Ye Yang looked at Yashan, who was now completely lost in his fantasy, and couldn't help but sigh.
When the initial form of true intent was formed, he possessed the ability to control the intent of others.
However, after cultivating the Soul Imprint, he learned many profound techniques. These complex techniques required a lot of effort to master, not to mention the ability to control the 'True Meaning' to take the Illusionary Soul Imprint to the next level.
Let's put this research on hold for now.
However, as the refinement of true meaning reaches 100%, and even completes the rebirth and self-renewal, this power of control becomes increasingly stronger.
In addition, after more than 40 years of continuous cultivation and study, Ye Yang has barely managed to become a master of the art of illusion.
He began to apply the power of true intention—the ability to control consciousness and will—to the illusion.
This ability was initially used in Ye Yang's self-created secret technique for attacking matter and soul, "Shaking the Sea".
Now that he has found a suitable guinea pig, shouldn't Ye Yang give it a good test?
After all—he's too strong now. In reality, apart from his second human clone, which is still at the constellation level, his other three clones have all reached the cosmic level.
Only those whose consciousness and will have reached the ultimate limit in the universe are worthy of becoming his test subjects!
In this preliminary round of the Genius Battle, everyone's foundation is limited to the ninth level of the Hengxing Star. Since they are living people, as long as their "consciousness" and "will" both reach the cosmic level, they are qualified to become Ye Yang's test subjects.
Previously, only participants who met the "willpower" standard had appeared.
After all, it is still possible to reach the cosmic level of "will" at the Eternal Star level.
Their willpower is exceptionally strong, and they can easily surpass their current level.
For example, when one is a Realm Lord, one possesses the will of a Universe Lord.
However, consciousness is entirely based on the soul. To make consciousness transcend the level of the soul, one needs some special circumstances to achieve it!
Unless one has a special destiny like Luo Feng possessing the Golden Horned Beast.
Clearly, this "Fangshan" in front of us is one of them.
"Ugh—...Aaaaaah! How dare you—how dare you to toy with me like this?!"
Yashan suddenly stopped chasing, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, his teeth clenched tightly.
Ye Yang's eyes gleamed: "Very good, they've noticed and started to resist—that's right, keep it like that! Struggle!"
Asan laughed and cried at the same time, her eyes sometimes looking confused and sometimes showing fear.
Finally—an hour later.
"Alright, you can go now." Ye Yang stopped the test with satisfaction.
Yashan, however, was covered in cold sweat and collapsed to the ground, no longer the arrogant man he had been before.
"Aaaaaah! No way! No way! It's all fake, don't try to fool me!" She grabbed the spiked club and smashed her own head.
Hopefully, when she returns to reality, she won't smash her own head in.
"When the true will reaches its peak, it becomes assimilation and erosion. This is a completely different approach from various illusions and soul attacks that devour the world. If I had to force an explanation, it would be similar to a 'secret art of will'?"
"No, that's impossible. The Secret Technique of Willpower requires a certain level of willpower, at least at the level of a universe master or a true god. I'm not even immortal, so it's impossible for me to meet the requirements."
"Could it be a 'mind-body secret technique'?"
Ye Yang fell into thought.
Those with strong willpower can indeed directly oppress the weak, causing their souls to collapse.
However, since very few people can maintain a level of consciousness beyond their own, developing "consciousness techniques" is meaningless, and therefore no one develops them.
He recalled the cultivation process of "True Meaning Martial Arts": True meaning takes form, life and death are tempered, and the self is reborn from the ashes. The true self is to abandon the old self and create a new self.
"It seems... truly a secret technique of consciousness?"
Ye Yang suddenly woke up. He had finally found what the "True Meaning Cultivation" should correspond to in the Devouring World. It was the "Consciousness Secret Technique" that had never appeared before!
However, besides "True Intent Martial Arts," "True Intent Cultivation" also includes the "Dao." What does "Dao" correspond to in devouring the world? Or is it some kind of entirely new system?
Ye Yang doesn't know this yet, but he will figure it out someday.
"The soul and consciousness are closely connected, so the secret arts of the soul and the secret arts of consciousness are naturally complementary and can be integrated into one."
"No, I need more and better test subjects!"
He's not taking a break today or from now on!
Geniuses! He wants to find geniuses whose consciousness and will have reached the cosmic level to help him cultivate!
"Tell me information about the city's top ten strongest individuals. No! You will kill anyone, just let me out of your attack range first—please, Death, I just don't want to die."
"Haven't you always trusted me?" Ye Yang asked.
"Yes, I have always believed in you. All I know is that a former top ten powerhouse named 'Ice Axe' appeared in XX Street, Dongcheng District two days ago."
"Now you can die."
After eliminating another participant, Ye Yang changed direction and headed towards the East District.
He was hunting down the top ten players in every city, and as for those who stood in his way, all he could say was sorry.
Almost every day, he had to find at least one genius who could withstand his experiments!
If we can't find this city, we'll find the next one!
"They're killing like mad! They're killing like mad!"
"Ye Yang of the Cui Lang Empire has been making great strides, and now he's climbed to the top of the 11th World Region, leaving the second-place player far behind!"
"My God! The second-place player in the 11th World District suddenly had his points halved, and the one whose points skyrocketed after he was killed was—Ye Yang! It's Ye Yang again! Is he hunting down the 'second-place player'?"
Those outside the arena stared in disbelief at the rankings in District 11.
It was only on the 8th day that Ye Yang of the Cui Lang Empire truly began to exert his power.
Previously, his ranking fluctuated around the top ten, mostly in the top three.
But after the 8th day, his points started to skyrocket, and from then on he not only firmly held the number one spot in the world, but also left the second place far behind!
Now it's the 10th day, and they've even killed the original runner-up—
"Charge! Charge! You truly live up to the reputation of the Cuilang Star Region!" The audience from the Cuilang Star Region was extremely excited.
The Earth spectators also felt honored.
"This is what we Earthlings are like!"
"As expected of the president, he easily accomplished what others could not."
At this moment, Luo Hai suddenly pointed to Luo Feng's ranking on the list and said, "Dad is finally starting to put in the effort!"
Everyone's attention was drawn to it.
Seeing that Luo Feng's points, which had been stagnant for a long time, finally started to rise.
11th World Zone.
"Death—I've heard of you, but don't you know that being too arrogant can lead to death?!"
The man in golden armor, wielding a heavy club, slammed it down.
Ye Yang didn't even use his illusion form; he simply stepped onto the curved blade disc and flew effortlessly.
Even though the Arc Blade Disc wasn't a third-tier telekinetic weapon that excelled at flight, it still moved incredibly fast under Ye Yang's control, seemingly without any resistance, easily maintaining a safe distance from the golden-armored warrior.
This is because Ye Yang has mastered a portion of the laws of space, and although it is a small amount, it can greatly increase flight speed.
Of course, the curved blade disk could not fully unleash Ye Yang's understanding of the laws, but it was enough for this opponent.
"The elite of the Qianwu royal family, your soul defense technique is quite impressive, and your willpower has reached the cosmic level. You are indeed the person I've been looking for."
After being attacked by Ye Yang, this elite member of the Qianwu royal family not only withstood the attack but also launched a counterattack immediately. It was clear that his overall qualities were even better than those of the geniuses Ye Yang had encountered before.
"Sink into ruin—" Ye Yang immediately combined the soul secret technique "Soul Imprint" and the consciousness secret technique "True Intent Domination".
The man in golden armor struggled and attacked Ye Yang again and again during his moments of lucidity.
"They really don't give up—." Ye Yang couldn't help but sigh.
Because the opponent's will was extremely strong, approaching the limit of the universe, making them an excellent test subject, Ye Yang couldn't help but extend the time.
Three hours later
"Waaaah! How dare you—how dare you treat me like this! I'll have my father use his power to find you in the real world and kill you!"
The golden-armored warrior, who had initially been incredibly stubborn and insisted on fighting, was now crying like a child thousands of years old.
His mind had completely collapsed.
It wasn't that the opponent was too weak, but rather that Ye Yang's methods were too terrifying and bizarre!
It directly controlled consciousness!
If a person is conscious but their body is controlled by another entity, like a puppet on strings, they will feel extreme fear and dread. Those with weak willpower may gradually go insane.
But Ye Yang's influence extends beyond just the body; he can also affect the soul and consciousness!
It feels like a strange entity, another "self," has "grown" inside your body. You start to not recognize yourself anymore, and in the end, it leads to the collapse of your "self."
It is terrifying to be unable to distinguish between "I" and "him," or between "inside" and "outside."
It means that they have lost their existence as independent individuals.
In short
If someone were to fall victim to Ye Yang's attack, depending on the severity, it could leave lasting side effects:
Mild cases may lead to existential doubts and cognitive confusion, but if one can overcome the aftereffects and rebuild from the ashes, one can be completely transformed, turning misfortune into blessing, and elevating one's character and will to a higher level.
The moderate level is like the golden-armored man before us, whose will has collapsed and whose backbone has been completely shattered. From then on, he can only become a soft-bodied creature in spirit, dependent on others, and can never have the heart of a strong person again.
Severe cases result in immediate annihilation of consciousness, or being refined by Ye Yang's consciousness.
An incredibly domineering and ruthless move!
It directly undermines the very foundation of a person's soul, making it second only to the enslavement of the soul in its insidious nature.
"The Genius Battle involves consciousness entering a virtual universe to participate. I damaged his consciousness, meaning that even if he returns to reality, he will remain in this state?"
Ye Yang frowned and grabbed the golden-armored man. He wanted to study this case carefully.
Day 20 of the preliminary rounds, First World District, on a city street,
Luo Feng glanced at the corpse belonging to the "Demon Hammer" at his feet, then looked at the screen on his wrist:
Participant: Luo Feng (Black Dragon Mountain Empire)
Points: 7314380
Ranking: 188
"This Demon Hammer truly lives up to his reputation as a super strong individual in this city; his points far exceed mine. Killing one Demon Hammer is far more profitable than killing thousands of ordinary geniuses!"
Luo Feng smiled slightly, but suddenly felt a tremor in his heart and abruptly turned his head to look at a residential building next to him.
On the rooftop of that residential building, a handsome young man with green armor and green hair was looking at him from afar.
"Windmill?! I didn't even notice it getting close to me—" Luo Feng felt a chill run down his spine.
In the 11th World District, Ye Yang once again wiped out the top 10 masters of a city.
"Lord Death!" The golden-armored man knelt before Ye Yang with utmost reverence, the twisted and broken expression from a few days ago gone from his eyes.
Only fervor and reverence!
Ye Yang didn't enslave his soul; he merely helped him rebuild his personality during the research process. Unfortunately, it was still an attached personality that was rebuilt.
"We don't need you here anymore. Hide away for now, and don't die. I'll come find you on your last day," Ye Yang said calmly.
The number 1 player in each world region will directly qualify for a spot in the top 1000 of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, for a total of 100 people.
They don't need to participate in the next competition; they can directly represent the Qianwu Universe Kingdom to fight against countless geniuses from other universe kingdoms and compete for the most outstanding figure among the human race of this era!
However, Ye Yang also wants to participate in the "Battle of Reincarnation," which features countless living geniuses. Defeating them will be the best source of nourishment for his growth!
The man in golden armor obeyed the order and immediately hid in a building.
"The Secret Technique of Consciousness—it's too terrifying and bizarre. One wrong step and you'll stray into the demonic path and go astray." Ye Yang closed his eyes. After all, he was a cultivator of the immortal path and had to always uphold his Dao heart.
The secret arts of consciousness are extremely powerful, and we should not abandon them altogether, but we also cannot use them without precautions or restrictions.
"The research on the consciousness secret technique has come to a temporary end. Next, I can take advantage of the opportunity to test my skills with many geniuses to hone my illusion attack. My illusion construction still has flaws."
"Unlike the opponents set up in the killing field, real, living people, especially these geniuses, are much more helpful for me in finding flaws!"
To deepen our understanding of illusions and the human heart, we must interact with real life!
The opponents set up in the killing space, although their moves are exquisite and superb, are just empty and simple intelligence.
Ye Yang swaggered into the street.
Since all the participants who had seen his true face were dead, no one knew that this young man swaggering down the street was the infamous "Grim Reaper".
Naturally, some of the participants set their sights on Ye Yang.
"This person's walking movements are full of flaws! So arrogant!"
"Big brother? We killed him?"
"Don't rush, let's check if there are any of his accomplices nearby. What if this guy is bait?"
The four-member team had already quietly set their sights on Ye Yang.
After observing for a while and confirming that there was only one person, the four looked at each other and immediately stepped forward.
"Kid, I really don't know how you've managed to survive this long? Luck?"
Your luck has run out!
