Chapter 428 The Golden Giant Axe Cleaner Appears! Will they help Xia Fa confront the [Temporary Real

Chapter 428 The Golden Giant Axe Cleaner Appears! Let's Help Xia Fa Face the [Temporary Reality] Together?

Xia Fa thought about it very seriously, mainly because he came up with a possibility.

They might pretend to submit to the other side first, and then defect after becoming a righteous god.

Who knows, they might even be able to switch sides with Gastis the Great Axe, which would cause even more destruction.

However, the only problem is, "According to you, after becoming a true god using the method of that sage you mentioned, one's strength mainly depends on—?"

'

"Of course, it mainly depends on the Golden Cleanser as the body, but the Eternal Certificate and the main secret contract signed by the Celestial Venerable who participated in the fusion can also provide a certain boost." [Temporary Reality] remained noncommittal.

"I see." Xia Fa immediately dismissed the idea.

After all, the Golden Cleaners are generally only at the level of normal gods, similar to [Nature Monarch] and [Supreme Law].

In this situation, becoming an Outer God would give him similar combat power, so going to merge with the Golden Cleansers would be too risky and not worth it. Moreover, Xia Fa suspected that the Cleansers might have some kind of mind control method, similar to a soul seal, to prevent the Celestials who merged with the Golden Cleansers from rebelling.

Otherwise, other celestial beings would have already pretended to submit to them, and it wouldn't have been his turn.

"You don't actually think that if you follow the orthodox path to godhood and become a true god, you can directly rival [Absolute Defense], so fusing with the Golden Cleanser to become a true god isn't worth it, do you?"

[Brief Reality] seemed to have seen through Xia Fa's thoughts, a hint of mockery on its face: "But you only have these few days to choose. If you don't pledge allegiance to us, you'll die. Who will give you a chance to become a true god? Besides, you don't really think becoming a true god is easy, do you?"

As He spoke, He looked up, His gaze seemingly piercing through the distant Star Spirit sky in an instant, and His tone became wistful: "There's less than a year left, no, not even a year, just over two months at most. After all, [First History] has already violated the taboo—the Golden Cleaners will only awaken ahead of time. No matter how incomplete their growth is, they still possess the combat power of ordinary true gods."

He turned his head, his gaze fixed on Xia Fa, his deep, artistically-looking emerald eyes seeming to see right through him in an instant: "Two months. Even if I hadn't caught you by now, do you think you could have become a true god in a mere two months?"

Xia Fa's eyes flickered: "Anyway, there's absolutely no way I'll side with you, so whatever you say won't make a difference."

[Brief Reality] smiled faintly, as if he didn't care at all: "It doesn't matter. What the Cleaners' faction needs is to make sure that you can't grow up, especially not into a second [Absolute Defense]. As for you now, whether you join or not is completely irrelevant."

As a righteous god, He was extremely well-mannered. Even though He failed to persuade Xia Fa to surrender, He did not get angry at all and was even able to continue the conversation calmly.

It seems that He is also afraid of loneliness.

Xia Fa didn't want to get entangled with Him on this issue any further, mainly because he was afraid of angering this righteous god. If He really did something outrageous, Xia Fa would be completely powerless to resist.

At the same time, Xia Fa finally understood why the true gods like the Paradox Joker hadn't bothered Xiu after the [Brief Reality] rebelled against the superhuman camp. They could even kill the fake nine true gods and find a way to suppress the awakening of the Golden Cleanser.

It seems that the power of [Temporary Reality] is the most crucial factor.

"Are all the Gold Cleaners roughly the same strength? Or, like the Silver Cleaners, are their strengths differentiated by their weapons? If it's the latter, I'm quite curious—what kind of weapon does this 'sir' you speak of, as a Gold Cleaner, wield?"

Seeing that Xia Fa changed the subject, [Brief Reality] raised an eyebrow and continued chatting with him casually: "It's fine to tell you. What determines the talent of the Golden Cleaners is the weapon that comes with them at birth. Or rather, the essence of the weapon is the manifestation of their talent. As for the factors that determine their strength, they depend on both the weapon and their mastery of the supreme killing technique."

"The supreme art of slaughter?" Xia Fa feigned curiosity, trying to extract more information from this traitorous god.

"Heh, your acting skills are just as good as that Ninth God's. If I didn't know better, I would really think you have no knowledge of the supreme art of killing."

Unexpectedly, [Brief Reality] directly exposed Xia Fa's pretense, and continued, "Didn't you personally kill [Godslayer]? You should have already obtained the cultivation method of the supreme killing technique from His Black Bag. But don't worry, you'll never be able to master it."

Xia Fa scoffed deliberately, "Are you that sure? What if I learn it?"

[Brief Reality] saw through his trick immediately and said with a faint smile: "You don't need to provoke me. I can talk about things that don't matter, but as for certain key secrets, no matter how you try to provoke me, you won't be able to get a single thing out of me."

After a slight pause, He continued, "As for why you have no chance of learning it, the reason is simple: only beings with the blood of the Cleanser flowing through their veins can learn it. Moreover, in terms of grade alone, it is on the same level as critical loss of control, which is the most supreme forbidden secret technique in the entire universe."

The ultimate art of slaughter—is it really on the same level as being on the verge of losing control?

The meaning of forbidden secret arts — indeed, it is the strongest secret arts in the entire universe.

Xia Fa was deeply shaken. Firstly, his previous guess that "critical loss of control" was the strongest secret technique in the entire universe had been confirmed. Secondly, he never expected that the supreme killing technique was actually on the same level as critical loss of control.

Suppressing the surging curiosity within him, Xia Fa continued casually, "Oh? What other forbidden secret techniques are there?"

[Brief Reality] didn't seem to care about the revelation of this information, saying, "In our extraordinary era, there is actually only one forbidden secret technique: Critical Loss of Control. The Supreme Killing Technique is a forbidden secret technique unique to the Cleaners. As for the other one, it is—"

He paused here, then asked, "Do you know what era preceded the age of magicians?"

Xia Fa replied without hesitation: "The era of mutants."

[Brief Reality] nodded slightly: "That makes it easier to explain. The third forbidden secret technique, or rather, according to the order of time, is the first forbidden secret technique. Legend has it that only the ancient gods could cultivate it, especially the Sun God King and the Moon Mother Goddess. They are the two beings who have cultivated this forbidden secret technique to the highest level, and it is also one of the reasons why they are so powerful."

There is also a forbidden secret technique in the era of mutants —

Xia Fa's heart suddenly burned with excitement. He didn't know about others, but he himself could lose control and travel back to the era of mutants. What if he got it during one of his time travels?

It should be noted that even now, the critical loss of control is the method that enhances his physical body the most, apart from the feeling of burning.

Moreover, he has only cultivated to the critical second loss of control. According to the complete cultivation method obtained from the Golden Dao Beacon Scroll, the highest level of critical loss of control can be cultivated to the critical thousandth loss of control!

However, orthodox cultivation methods are all too difficult, and most importantly, they are extremely time-consuming, so Xia Fa did not study them much.

Fortunately, there are at least some shortcuts to cultivation methods for the three critical points of loss of control. If you want to find shortcuts to cultivation methods in the future, you'll have to think of other ways.

As for the supreme killing technique—needless to say, Xia Fa still remembers the despair he felt when using the supreme killing technique against the [Godslayer]. If he hadn't suddenly pushed the six god-level mutations to 20% in his despair, he might have been killed by the [Godslayer].

"If I'm not mistaken, the Critical Loss of Control technique is specifically designed to dramatically increase strength in a short period of time, while the Supreme Killing Technique is specifically used for fighting enemies, right?"

[Brief Reality] nodded: "That's right, but the further you cultivate the Supreme Art of Slaughter, the more unimaginably powerful the secret techniques you master become. If I had to make an analogy, the first secret technique of the Supreme Art of Slaughter is at most equivalent to giving an ordinary person a bow and crossbow, but if you can master the twelfth or even more secret techniques through cultivation, then it's equivalent to—"

He paused slightly, took a deep breath, and said, word by word, "Let mortals hold a two-dimensional foil in their hands."

this----!

Xia Fa was shocked, but he immediately realized something was wrong. How did [Brief Reality] know about the concept of a two-dimensional foil?

Could it be that He was also a time traveler?

But immediately, the words of "brief reality" dispelled his doubts.

"You know what a two-dimensional foil is? It's like a weapon that can reduce an area from three dimensions to two dimensions. I read it in a very imaginative novel."

Xia Fa fell silent. The real world is actually very large, not to mention the Celestial Spirit Realm. In addition, the era of mutants only lasted tens of millions of years before they were able to develop interstellar civilizations. Therefore, it is normal for the extraordinary era to have technologically advanced civilizations.

Ironically, the more advanced a planet's supernatural powers are, the less advanced its technology tends to be. Therefore, technologically advanced places are often small, relatively remote planets in the universe.

I guess it's because the Secret Contract ability is too useful and too easy to obtain.

"In other words, critical loss of control is used to greatly enhance combat power in a short period of time, while supreme killing techniques are one more powerful killing move after another—if I could use both in battle—"

Xia Fa thought to himself, and even though he was in the most dangerous situation of his life, he couldn't help but feel excited about this idea.

As for whether I can master the supreme art of killing—I haven't tried it yet, what if I learn it?

After all, Xia Fa not only knows about his special qualities, but he has also accepted them.

"Um?"

Suddenly, [Brief Reality]'s gaze sharpened as it looked at a dilapidated Great Tomb of the Ancient Ones not far away.

In that instant, the divine pressure that He had been holding back suddenly erupted, without any concealment. This caused Xia Fa, who was closest to Him, to suffer greatly. He felt an extreme tightness in his chest, his bones creaking, and his body felt like it was about to be crushed.

This made him realize more clearly that the supreme power of the god [Brief Reality] was far beyond that of ordinary gold cleaners like Alm the Greatbow he had seen before.

Xia Fa even felt that in the [Brief Reality], one person could take on several gold-level cleaners like Alm Giantbow.

Fortunately, almost instantly, the terrifying, earth-shattering pressure of the righteous god vanished, and [Brief Reality] lowered its guard, a smile appearing on its face instead.

It was a friendly smile that came from seeing someone who was one of their own.

"I never expected to meet you here, Gastis the Axe Brothers."

[Brief Reality] spoke, directly leading the bound Xia Fa towards the incomplete tomb of the Great Old Ones.

At that moment, Xia Fa clearly saw Gastis the Great Axe, whom he hadn't seen for several days, walking out of there, carrying his golden axe stained with blood and flesh.

The flesh and blood were either black, gray, or dark green, exuding a strong, eerie aura.

Clearly, Gastis the Great Axe has gone to kill the monsters again.

Seeing this, Xia Fa couldn't help but sigh. It must have been tough for Gastis the Great Axe, the Golden Cleanser who had secretly joined the Extraordinary faction.

After all, if it did nothing, it would definitely be discovered, but it was unwilling to deal with the extraordinary gods, which led it to kill strange beings all over the universe and the Protoss Realm.

The Bizarre—which is considered extremely depraved and evil among extraordinary beings—is quite reasonable for it, as the Golden Cleanser, to kill Bizarre beings everywhere.

"Hey, [Brief Reality] bro! What a coincidence, long time no see."

Gastis the Great Axe turned his head and saw [Temporary Reality] and Shaphat bound by Him.

Fortunately, it was wearing a full-face mask, which effectively concealed its momentary expression of surprise. Then, as if it didn't recognize Xia Fa at all, it swept its gaze directly over him without lingering for a moment, before turning its attention to [Brief Reality].

"Perfect timing, I'm done with my work here. Want to come over for a couple of drinks?"

Gastis the Great Axe's massive, mountain-like form rapidly shrank, quickly becoming the size of an ordinary human. It even jumped off its golden armored warhorse and warmly embraced [Brief Reality]'s shoulder.

[Brief Reality] sighed: "I miss it too. I've been thinking about the taste of your old wine ever since I tasted it last time, but unfortunately, I have a mission to complete."

39

As he spoke, he tugged at the brown paintbrush in his hand, and Xia Fa was immediately pulled by the sleeve, staggering twice and almost falling over.

In that instant, an uncontrollable killing intent surged from Xia Fa's heart, but he suppressed it well, only giving a cold glance at the middle-aged painter-like back of [Brief Reality].

As a god, that's one thing, but what if I become an outer god, especially after signing two overlord-level secret contracts and acquiring several god-level mutations—

Gastis the Great Axe seemed to only then notice Shafa, and asked curiously, "This is just a minor god, is it really worth you, a true god, personally coming forward to capture him? Wait a minute—"

As if remembering something, it gasped, its eyes widening beneath the golden mask: "Hiss, could this be the legendary Xia Fa, the one with the most powerful divine presence? How did you manage to capture him in the City of Gold Pounds?"

[Brief Reality] waved his hand with a smile: "How could I possibly have broken into the City of Gold Pounds? I only managed to capture him because I suddenly sensed his presence in the mysterious forbidden zone of the real world through [Eternal Reality]."

Gastis the Great Axe nodded thoughtfully: "I see. How about I escort you? This must have been ordered by Lord Julius, right? We can't afford to lose it."

[Brief Reality] laughed loudly: "Hahaha, that's great! With you here, I'm not afraid of the Ninth God suddenly attacking or playing any tricks."

Lord Julius —

Xia Fa silently memorized the name, guessing that this was the "master" mentioned by [Brief Reality], and probably the strongest Gold Cleaner.

"Brother, are you out of your mind? How did you get caught by this scoundrel?"

Suddenly, Gastis the Great Axe's voice rang in Shafa's mind.
