Chapter 464: Chapter 254: 3rd Public Beta Test Begins_2

Sitting cross-legged on the array disk, his Great Sun Golden Body Scripture was still running rapidly inside his body.

Although he had survived the first step of the Great Sun Golden Body Scripture

– the Sun’s Fire to burn his body, his cultivation was far from over.

“Although the next stage of cultivation isn’t dangerous, it’s a crucial step and will take a long time.”

“Rise from the ruins, resurrect from the annihilation, wither tree meeting the spring, old tree sprouting new buds, this step requires discarding the old body, condensing a new body, and nurturing the golden body within the old body.” The method of condensing the golden body emerged in his mind, and Su Nan began to cultivate the golden body according to the techniques recorded in the Great Sun Golden Body Scripture.

This step couldn’t be completed in a short time and required a long period of cultivation.

Fortunately, today’s Song Mountain was exceptionally quiet, with no one to disturb him.

Su Nan was immersed in his cultivation, unable to extricate himself, forgetting time, and everything else.

Two hours later.

He was still sitting there, his actions unchanged.

His body didn’t seem to have recovered much, but upon closer inspection, one could see that a trace of golden light was blooming beneath his burnt and blackened flesh.

As the sun set and the moon rose, night quickly enveloped the earth.

Tonight was bound to be a sleepless night.

Everyone was waiting.

Waiting for the start of the third public test, waiting for the emergence of the spatial channel mentioned in the announcement, and waiting for the game to descend onto reality.

“What should I do? I’m still at the foot of SongMountain, but the transportation here is paralyzed, and I’m trapped.”

“I’m stuck here too. Now I’m done for. It took me so much effort to get a game bracelet this time, am I going to be killed by a demon before even entering the game?”

“Don’t panic, the officials have sent the army, we need to believe in the official’s strength.”

Although the news about the spatial channels possibly appearing near famous mountains and rivers had been received quite early, many people couldn’t leave in time.

Not just Song Mountain, but other famous tourist sites were in the same situation.

Players were better off, at least they had some self-preservation abilities, while ordinary people could only pray secretly.

At the foot of SongMountain, a team of hundreds had gathered.

These people were all armed, holding real guns and ammunition – they were members of the military.

Moreover, judging from their running speed, they were not ordinary soldiers but a team formed by players.

Or rather, a team of players formed by soldiers.

The leader was a burly man in his thirties.

“It’s Great God Qi Hong! I didn’t expect the officials to send Great God Qi Hong here! That’s great, nowwe don’t have to worry.”

“Qi Hong is ranked 52nd in the game and is already at the Mid-stage Spirit- level. With him leading the team here, we should be safe.”

From a distance, some players recognized the leading man, and they all exclaimed in whispers.

“Captain, there have been no detected earthquakes around Song Mountain. If the spatial channel does appear here, it will be quite a waste of resources. Other places are also short of manpower at the moment, I suggest we should go elsewhere first,” a young soldier whispered.

The man known as Qi Hong among the players shookhis head: “If the spatial channels were to really appear around the famous mountains and rivers, Song Mountain should have a spatial channel as well.”

He paused for a moment and added, “It’s better to be cautious. If there’s no spatial channel here, then it’s fine, but if there is one, it probably won’t be an ordinary one.”

As he gazed at the towering mountain peaks of Song Mountain, Qi Hong’s expression became solemn.

For some reason, he had a premonition that tonight would definitely not be peaceful here.

At the moment the large-scale earthquakes occurred, the armies in various cities were once again mobilized. Some areas experiencing earthquakes even had heavy weapons stationed.

Armored tanks were deployed, and fighter planes patrolled the skies. All the combat equipment that could be mobilized was put into action.

Even in some areas without earthquakes, just in case, soldiers were stationed.

Everyone prepared for battle.

On the summit of Song Mountain.

Su Nan was still sitting cross-legged.

At this moment, his breath was steady, the burnt, black skin on his face began to peel off, revealing the new skin emitting a golden glow.

The cultivation of the golden body was still ongoing, and there was still a considerable distance to go before it was complete.

Time passed in an instant.

Finally, several more hours passed quietly.

The midnight bell rang.

The time of the game refresh arrived.

The third public test began.

If before, this moment would have undoubtedly been when countless players rushed to log into the game, but this time, very few people entered the game.

No one wanted to enter the game only to have their bodies in reality attacked and killed by the demons.

Boom!

Nearly at the moment when midnight arrived, tremors occurred simultaneously in many mountainous areas around the world.

“Here it comes!”

Everyone stood in a safe area, holding their breath, watching everything that happened around them.

The earth cracked, mountains rose, and huge lakes suddenly appeared.

The mountains were covered with ancient trees, and the lakes were filled with rippling blue waves. These mountains did not rise due to tectonic pressure, nor were the lakes formed by the collapse of the earth’s crust. It seemed as if they had always been there.

“Has the gaming world overlapped with the real world in terms of space?”

At the same time, in the game.

Some players who were logged in discovered that at the moment midnight arrived, the game world underwent a significant change.

Mountain peaks and lakes disappeared out of thin air!

And with the disappearance of those mountains and lakes, the space where they had been twisted, producing invisible voids.

These were spatial channels!

At this moment, whether it was the Humans or the demon clan, all powerful beings could feel a strange power rapidly strengthening between heaven and earth.

Ordinary people couldn’t understand what that kind of power meant, but those who had already gained the approval of the power of heaven and earth, and had become powerful ancestors, knew what it represented.

“Heavenly and Earthly vitality!”

“Heavenly and Earthly vitality is recovering!”

Although they already knew that a large number of Outsiders would descend today, and that Heavenly and Earthly vitality would inevitably recover with the arrival of Outsiders, many powerful beings were still overjoyed after feeling Heavenly and Earthly vitality for the first time.

Especially those powerful beings near the spatial channels, the feeling was even more apparent.

However, the Heavenly and Earthly vitality came quickly and stopped quickly.

It was only in the instant when the spatial channels appeared that the Heavenly and Earthly vitality surged from another world.

But everyone was not disappointed, but instead filled with anticipation.

Although the amount of Heavenly and Earthly vitality that surged was small, it was a catalyst that triggered the spontaneous recovery of vitality in this world.

Even if no more Heavenly and Earthly vitality were to surge in the future, given time, this world could still recover on its own.

“Hahaha! My bloodline is strengthening!”

“The chance to become a saint has appeared! I never thought that I would still have the opportunity to become a saint in my lifetime!”

In the depths of Ten Thousand Demon Ridge, a demon that had been in deep sleep for an unknown number of years awoke, feeling the changes of heaven and earth, and couldn’t help but roar to the sky with excitement.

“Is this the spatial channel to the world where those Outsiders live?”

” I heard that the world of Outsiders has Heavenly and Earthly vitality. If we can enter that world, perhaps I can even achieve bloodline regression.”

“I heard that the strongest martial artist in that world is only at the Xuan-level. If we can occupy that world, our demon clan will rise to a higher level in the future, and perhaps even restore our strength from ancient times.”

The disappearance of the mountains and lakes created a massive commotion, and many demons arrived at the nearby spatial channels for the first time, looking at the twisted space with eagerness.

“Charge, charge, charge!”

After a brief hesitation, a demon could not bear it any longer and was the first to step into the spatial channel, disappearing before the eyes of the other demons.

Where there is one, there will be two. Gradually, demons gathered from a radius of ten miles nearby, forty to fifty mortal-level demons and more than ten spirit-level demons began to enter the spatial channels.

In reality.

In front of a mountain that suddenly appeared, hundreds of soldiers armed with rifles looked solemnly at the peak, all of them ready for battle.

Finally, with the appearance of the twisted spatial channels, dozens of demons arrived. Most of these demons were Mortal-level, and there were only four or five Spirit-level ones.

This did not match the number of demons that had entered the spatial channels.

A large number of demons disappeared in the spatial channels!

Even so, it still put considerable pressure on the defending soldiers.

“Fire!”

Upon the order, the soldiers, who were already prepared, fired their weapons at the arriving demons.
