Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Chapter 571 Himself
Hearing the confident declaration of Taichu Tianzun, and looking at the youthful and vigorous face of the Immortal Ancestor Chicheng, as if at the beginning of a dream, Wang Luo could not help but smile after a little trance.

"Does the Heavenly Lord know that the party that first declares 'will win' is often the first to die?"

Taichu Tianzun replied: "If you can do it, I will know."

The next moment, Tianzun’s figure flashed and instantly appeared behind Wang Luo. Several sharp halos slashed out like blades... Even in the fair duel mode, this fairy method from the future version has super-model attack power.

But Wang Luo seemed to have foreseen the future. While the sarcastic words were still hanging on the corners of his mouth, he had already put up a layer of hard shield behind his back.

Although it was several versions behind, this shield designed to resist all sneak attacks still played its value faithfully, blocking all of Tianzun's halo from behind before shattering it.

Taking advantage of the broken light of the shield, Wang Luo has controlled the scroll incarnation and continuously fired more than ten flying swords. Their colors and shapes were different, and they did not form any sophisticated sword formation. They seemed to be just a group of mobs.

However, as soon as these ten or so flying swords appeared, Qiu Heng in Duchen's cottage couldn't help but change color slightly and was extremely surprised.

"Why did Lord Wang Shan choose this style of play? This is too..."

Gurihama was puzzled and asked, "Master Qiu, what does this mean?"

Qiu Heng explained: "The Broken Sword Chaos Formation used by Lord Wang Shan was a special combat method developed by a group of inquisitive practitioners by chance. Those flying swords were taken from different magic weapon sets. In addition to their own magical powers, they also have their own insurmountable flaws. If they are not a set, they are not very practical. However, those professional practitioners have found a set of tactics through precise calculations to combine a group of broken swords and amplify each other. The actual combat effect is extraordinary and even better than most paid magic weapon sets."

After a pause, Qiu Heng continued, "Because the actual strength of the Broken Sword Formation far exceeds our planning expectations, the fair duel mode does not give a reasonable numerical reduction, so in the duel mode, its actual combat value becomes even higher..."

Ge Libang was even more puzzled when he heard this: "Taichu Tianzun holds the rules for future versions. Won't you correct this problem in future versions?"

A trace of helplessness appeared on Qiu Heng's face. At this time, above the ruins of the Three Realms, Wang Luo's sword formation had been completed and he was about to use his full strength.

"...This rogue tactic is only applicable to battles between walkers, and it has very obvious loopholes. As long as you take precautions in advance and prepare a few chaotic sword talismans, you can beat the mob back to its original form. So it was only popular for a dozen days. Before the workshop discussed and launched a correction update, the walkers had already found a way to deal with it. To this day, it is common sense among walkers to prepare chaotic sword talismans in their bags before a fair duel. So soon after, this chaotic sword formation gradually withdrew from the mainstream stage. Master Wang Shan's move is really a bit too retro..."

However, when it came to this, the worry in Qiu Heng's eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by realization and surprise.

"Yes, this kind of retro tactics is more effective..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sword lights finally fell from the chaotic array of broken swords in the distance.

The sword light fell and blood light bloomed.

Taichu Tianzun was not careless at all. After the flying sword appeared, he intuitively felt the fierceness of this mob, and immediately concentrated on observing and analyzing them, trying to find the flaws.

This difficult problem, which had troubled countless travelers for more than ten days, seemed to be covered by a thin veil in the eyes of Tianzun. As long as he reached out his hand, he could reveal the answer.

However, Wang Luo did not give more time for analysis. In just a moment, Tianzun finally fell into the sword formation. As the first Blood-Breaking Sword cut a wound on his body, the rest of the flying swords attacked like hungry beasts smelling blood.

Tianzun was surprised and tried to dodge several times, but was firmly restrained by the sword light every time... In the fair mode, all the strength and magical powers were reduced to their original form, and in the original form, Tianzun was not as strong as people thought.

As the swords crossed, the health bar above Tianzun's head dropped at an alarming rate, while the icons representing various negative states below the health bar increased at the same rate. When his health bar dropped to half, in Duchen Xiaozhu, Qiu Heng couldn't help but clench his fists, and his breathing became heavier... Compared with the crisis, the tension of victory at hand was even more difficult to control.

According to her experience, if one cannot escape from the sword formation in time and one's health is reduced to less than half, the outcome will be in doubt... Even if Wang Luo gives the control of his avatar to her, who only watches and does not play, she is confident that she can maintain the advantage.

Taichu Tianzun is not that powerful.

Of course, it was normal that he was not powerful. No matter how majestic the title of Tianzun was, it was in another fantasy world. In the Taixu Fantasy World and in the Painting Scroll of Demon Slayer, he was just a newcomer!

Even during the long process of summoning and guiding, he had gradually understood the basic rules of this scroll, and even mastered the "future version" with the unique magical powers of Tianzun, but he never took part in it personally.

If you only watch and don't play, there is a limit after all.

when!
Just as Qiu Heng was gradually suffocating due to tension and his expectation of victory was almost certain, he heard a loud noise.

In the fair fighting arena, Tianzun suddenly stretched out his hand, and his arm was shining with metallic light. At the same time, a golden flying sword in Wang Luo's sword formation was broken in half by an unparalleled force. After losing this important coordinating flying sword, the entire sword formation suddenly showed a trend of collapse!

"What!?"

This was a change that had never actually occurred in The Legend of Demon Slayer. Just because a flying sword broke, the entire sword formation was on the verge of collapse... However, the action of Tianzun breaking the sword with his iron hand flashed back in his mind, and Qiu Heng felt as if his heart was being gripped by someone.

That was not some future skill, but a very simple sword-catching style, a simple technique that had been designed when the scroll was put into operation. However, in the ever-changing chaotic formation of broken swords, it was used just right and surprisingly disrupted the entire sword formation!
This was a blind spot that no one had ever discovered before, but Tianzun saw through it and captured it on his own in actual combat.

"Well, you are worthy of being called the Heavenly Lord."

After the sword formation was broken, Wang Luo nodded in praise, then disbanded the sword formation and threw out talismans all over the sky.

"Next, please enjoy 'A Thousand Golds and Ten Thousand Symbols'."

On the other side, Tianzun suddenly ignited a stronger fighting spirit. Looking at the talismans flying all over the sky, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Okay, come on!"

Come.

As the voice of Tianzun who was eager to try resounded throughout the ruins of the Three Realms, more and more spectators focused their attention and marveled at the talisman that Wang Luo unfolded.

"This, a thousand gold talisman, can anyone really use it?"

A senior traveler hid in a cave outside the ruins, watching the battle with his clairvoyance and relaying the situation to his friends far away outside the scroll.

"Old Jin, didn't you say before that this gameplay requires too high an ability to control the avatar, that it only exists in theory, and that even you can't use it?"

The man named Lao Jin, also known as Jin Zhengyang, said helplessly outside the scroll: "I have nothing to say. I can only say that Master Wang Shan is awesome. I am convinced."

During the conversation, someone else laughed and said, "The tactics are awesome, and the material reserves are awesome too. Many talismans are hidden in the corners of the scrolls, and you have to do a lot of troublesome hidden tasks to get them. Master Wang Shan has been prepared for this." "Then Lao Jin, once this thousand gold and ten thousand talismans are used, the result will be no suspense, right?"

"Theoretically, there will be no suspense... and as for Taichu Tianzun, so far, I haven't seen him do anything beyond the theory."

After a pause, Jin Zhengyang, who was watching the show from the sidelines, seemed extremely unwilling to accept the result: "He just took advantage of some off-site rules and got the supermodel's version of the rules, which made him look powerful. But as a walker, his skills are not that good."

"Picking up random swords with bare hands is not considered good, right? He was still a little unfamiliar with the operation when he first started the battle, but his speed of improvement is truly shocking..."

"Compared to Lord Wang Shan, I am indeed not that good. Whether it is tactical understanding or practical operation ability, I am only at the level of countering each move. And no matter how fast I improve, I can't catch up with Lord Wang Shan, and there will be no more surprises in the future."

As if to confirm the judgment of this former number one in the Demon-Slaying Legend, Wang Luo also completed simple tests and containment in the arena and found the opponent's weakness.

Then, he swung his right hand downward, as if cutting the invisible thread.

At the same time, Tianzun raised his head, shook his head helplessly, and said resignedly: "Oh no...it's too early to talk big."

The next moment, talismans fell like a meteor shower, completely submerging Tianzun in the battle formation.

Seeing the health bar above Tianzun’s head return to zero again, not only in Duchen Xiaozhu...but throughout the entire Demon-Slaying Legend, thunderous cheers rang out.

However, amid the cheers, people discovered that Wang Luo, the winner, showed no joy at all. He just calmly pulled up the duel flag on the ground.

Then, he grasped the hand that was extended to him.

"Is this the etiquette on your side?" Taichu Tianzun - the Tianzun whose health bar was emptied and who was defeated in the duel, was saluting Wang Luo with a look of sincere admiration.

"I didn't expect you could actually beat me, that's amazing."

Then, the blood bar above his head was still healthy and full. Not to mention death, there was not even any sign of weakness.

Then, people gradually realized a problem.

Why do they think that beating Tianzun in a fair duel mode can solve the problem? Although a fair duel gives the weak a chance to defeat the strong, this kind of victory itself... is meaningless.

In the Legend of Demon Slayer, there have always been fights and killings between walkers, and in some areas, the cost of death is even deliberately emphasized. However, a fair fight has always been zero cost.

Even the talisman props used in the duel will return to their original positions after the battle. This is just a stage for discussion and never involves life and death. Even if Tianzun loses the duel, what can he do?

Tianzun was also very curious about this question.

"What are you going to do next?"

Wang Luo stared at Tianzun seriously, confirming that the polite young man in front of him was indeed curious about this question, and was not deliberately being pretentious...so the last trace of doubt in his heart disappeared.

Taichu Tianzun, really doesn’t know.

He didn't know what it meant to come here from the illusion of Jingzhou, nor did he know what he was about to face.

He responded to his own call and condescended to enter the Taixu Scroll, but he had strong confidence that he could eradicate all the degenerate heretics on the right side of the sky in this way. In his eyes, there was only the small world in the scroll, and he did not see the real threat in the infinitely far height, always eyeing him covetously.

After a moment, Wang Luo answered, "I, and everyone else in the scroll who is participating in this battle, have the same goal. We don't need to kill you ourselves. We just need to leave a mark of defeat on you to prove that even someone as powerful as the Heavenly Lord can lose."

When Taichu Tianzun heard this, he was a little puzzled at first, then he suddenly realized and became shocked and angry.

But it was too late.

Wang Luo bowed slightly, responding to the other party's initial courtesy in a not very popular way.

"Then please prepare for a truly fair fight."

"you!?"

Taichu Tianzun was finally no longer calm at this moment. He pressed Wang Luo with extremely powerful numerical values. The numerical overflow alone could destroy a person's avatar account and even affect the authority of the Shenyou Taixu. This terrifying pressure.

However, Wang Luo's figure dissipated lightly as if there was no force acting on it.

At the same time, in Duchen Cottage, the figures of Ge Libang, Qiu Heng and others gradually faded away.

In the vast universe, the travelers who still stayed in the scroll to watch the show were also bounced out of the scroll under the influence of an irresistible great will.

In an instant, only two people were left in the Demon-Slaying Sect.

One of them was naturally Taichu Tianzun. As one of the countless avatars, he was the one who represented the determination to make progress in his youth. He never had the option of retreating in the face of difficulties, let alone giving up halfway.

Even though the changes in the scroll were beyond his expectations and even made him vaguely anticipate the outcome, he still held his head high and worked hard.

Then, the sky shattered, and the clear blue turned into fragments that fell down.

In the fragments, a skinny figure descended into this world and took away all the light.

Also including the light in Taichu Tianzun’s eyes.

The moment the two met, the young Tianzun realized everything.
"I didn't expect it to be you... No wonder they left so easily, not even worrying about me following them. Indeed, if it was you, I would have no choice. I must correct the mistakes I made myself. I don't know what I went through to become like you, and I don't want to know... Weaklings who succumb to outsiders, disappear!"
