Location, Unknown Temple.

In the center of the temple hangs a lamp carved from inky crystal, which is delicate and almost luxurious, and the faint and inexplicable streamer in the crystal looms, radiating reassuring energy fluctuations outward. The decoration style of the dome comes from the religious ideas of the Atum Order, from top to bottom are celestial stars, the Ark of the Sun, the ship of ten thousand years, the nine-pillar god headed by the sun god, and the bottom layer is 777 columns, symbolizing the heroic spirit who ascended to the constellation against the Void Serpent.

The walls are painted with unclear images, symbolizing the nature of the Netherworld—dark, deep, invisible, boundless.

The space inside the temple is spacious, and there is only one altar inside.

The structure of the altar is simple, a white well made of rubble, with a curved outer wall radiating a holy white light, quietly located in the center of the temple. The altar was filled with scarlet hedron blocks, which were faceted with bright red facets, and the tiny needle mist inside formed a starlight that shone brightly.

“......”

Ivan closed his eyes, half of his body was soaked in the stone altar, his limbs seemed to be extremely refreshed, his whole body was stretched, and delicate golden lines were faintly visible under his skin, like golden blood flowing in his veins.

As his chest rose and fell, the glow of golden lines filtered through his skin, appearing on the surface of his body flowing clearly and completely. Through the joints of the body, from the feet to the waist, from the waist to the shoulders, from the shoulders to the head, and finally converge on a spine to divide again, and so on and so on.

At this moment, under the rendering of the overall layout of the temple, Evan entered a realm of absolute pure perception of the self, the senses of touch, hearing, sight, taste, and smell all disappeared, and all feelings, all thoughts, and all the brains contracted into his body. What I thought in my head and what I thought in my heart also shrank infinitely into a point like a spiritual light.

"Whew...... Whew......"

Ivan opened and closed his eyes slightly, and the surroundings of the pupil light flickered and dimmed, and the surrounding area slowly gathered a trace of golden light, which flew around him like golden threads. As the light radiating from the surface of his body became more and more intense, wisps of translucent golden flames burned inside the entire stone altar.

Woohoo – Whoop——!

The fire became more and more intense, and a thin snake-like electric light began to linger on Ivan 's body, and the blood vessels-like metal pit lines on the surface of his body became clearer and clearer, and the flowing golden light slowly converged in the hollow of his chest, becoming more and more condensed, and soon formed a golden diamond-shaped spar that burned constantly.

"Flame Protocore!"

With a loud shout, Evan's whole person was suspended against gravity, and the golden carvings all over his body soared, and the light in the dim temple shone brightly, and the dazzling fire in front of him swirled and vibrated at a gallop.

“......”

He closed his eyes, suddenly raised his right arm, flipped his palm and pressed downward, and a rippled air flow surged downward in the entire space. Under this press, the invisible force urged the air flow to squeeze in all directions, tumbling upwards along the four walls, and finally rolling towards the dome, shaking the crystal illumination.

"This is the second stage of the Sun Sutra...... Flame Pronucleus?"

Ivan slowly opened his eyes, and felt a warm tingling sensation all over his body, as if bathed in the midday sun, and as if he was soaking in warm and comfortable spring water.

The complete Sun Sutra is divided into five stages from beginning to end, and each stage is named after the different levels of life, these five stages are:

Prototype - Void Engine (Light)

Growth - Flame Pronucleus (Light)

Mature Body - Star Core Resonance (Light)

Completeness – The Light That Never Sets (Light)

Ultimate Body - Turning the Sun Wheel (Light)

Each level is equivalent to completing a reborn ascension, not only the strength will increase, but even the lifespan and body structure will be drastically changed.

In the history that Evan knew, there were only a handful of Sun Kings who condensed the unfalling light, and their bodies were able to isolate all energy and matter, and no external force could infringe on them. The Sun King, who has evolved to the ultimate body, does not exist at all, and in the conjectures of the kings, this stage is equivalent to the sun god Atum himself, possessing all kinds of incredible divine powers. But what specific abilities there are, because they have not appeared, it is unknown.

"It's been seven years...... Lingered for seven years in the first stage...... It's finally time to move on to the second stage. ”

He slowly dissipated the flames that lingered around him, returned to his original state and fell back to the altar, looking at his hands with great emotion, and felt the urge to laugh out loud. But when I thought of my situation at this moment, that little joy dissipated without a trace in an instant, and my mood became gloomy and gloomy again.

"It's a pity that I came from a side line, and I don't have a complete inheritance, only the first three stages...... The Sun Sutra is in the hands of Eru Lome's slut again......" Ivan looked at his hands with a solemn expression, thinking in thought.

Ailu Luomei once taught him some of the core knowledge of the Sun Sutra, but after all, the time for one night was limited, and he only made up for the first half of the defects, and if he continued to study, he would face a dilemma of having no way out when he reached the third stage of cultivation. In order to become stronger as soon as possible, he should immediately start cultivating the Holy Book of the Netherworld, because the inheritance of this power is complete, and his achievements are not inferior to the Sun Sutra.

"The old fox said that the holy scriptures of the underworld can be practiced with the Sun Sutra...... I don't know if it's true or not......" He thought of this and began to recall the inheritance he had received.

The Holy Book of Hades, like the Sun Sutra, is also divided into five stages, the first three stages are basically similar, but the last two stages are completely different, and there is no place to complement the Sun Sutra.

The five phases of the Holy Book of Hades are divided into:

Prototype - Void Engine (Dark)

Grow - Flame Pronucleus (Dark)

Mature Body - Star Core Resonance (Dark)

Complete Body - Immaculate Disk (Dark)

Ultimate Body - Eternal Body (Dark)

Due to the well-established inheritance of this sacred text, Evan only remembered a little of its contents, and he had a feeling of soul metamorphosis and turned into darkness.

"Whether it's true or not, practice and then talk about it. ”

It was this feeling that made him finally make up his mind.

......

The sky was flushed with a rising sun, and the blurred horizon sprayed a large area of red light, illuminating the temple courtyard in a golden red, and the lawn of the courtyard was dyed a carpet-like pale red.

“......”

Ivan stood quietly in the center of the training ground with his eyes half-closed, like a quiet poet thinking in the wilderness.

Call...... Call......

With him as the center, the air pressure in the space within a radius of ten meters is low, forming a clear and transparent air cover, and the light bends forward in the thickened air medium, making the scenery look slightly distorted. A rippling rainbow halo floated on the outer wall of the hood, and the inside was slightly twisted like a liquid, and from time to time a thin snake-like pitch-black electric light flickered.

Puff Pass - Puff Pass ——!

The sound of his heartbeat in his chest grew louder and louder, like the beating of war drums, as if it contained some mysterious power, and even the ground under his feet was wrinkled.

Using the void as a medium, formless and substantial dark energy entered Ivan's body.

His silver pupils became brighter and brighter, his pupils seemed to be flowing with lava, and a metallic cold and hard luster floated on his body little by little, and his skin gradually became hard and strong, revealing a texture like black iron.

"Shhh...... Call...... Hiss...... Whew......"

Evan's chest was like a quenched bellows, sucking a large amount of air into his lungs with each breath, and the entire hood twisted violently as he exhaled.

Under the light of the morning sun, his blue-black face was slightly deformed, and the green tendons under his skin were violent, like a knotted snake. Looming metal pits slowly emerged from his chest, and then slowly spread outward, and the pitch-black pits up and down his body seemed to be blood vessels, evenly distributed throughout his body.

Puff Pass - Puff Pass ——!

The sound of the heartbeat became louder and louder, as if the bronze bell was roaring, and it was as if there was some substance, breaking through the sky from far away, striking the void again and again.

With a loud sound, a deep black dot gradually sunken into Ivan on his left chest, directly connecting the human body and the void, and began to absorb a steady stream of dark energy.

"This is the Void Engine of Dark Energy!?"

He opened his arms comfortably, and countless short and dazzling currents flashed from time to time on his body, and he felt the sensation of powerful power flowing through his body.

This feeling is extremely real, real and almost illusory, Ivan never dreamed that he had just obtained the Holy Book of Hades, but after studying it overnight, this would be a 'small achievement' - could it be that he is really a peerless genius in the legend!?

Buzz——!

Before he could prevent it, the metal pit line centered on Ivan 's heart suddenly reversed, and the ten-meter-diameter air shield burst violently, bringing countless high-frequency, piercing noises from breaking the air.

"Ahem!"

His eyes widened suddenly, and when he opened his mouth, he spat out a bloody arrow, and the lightning that roamed on the surface of his skin came out one after another, shooting out like arrows, and the whole courtyard was suddenly in shambles.

"Clash of light and darkness!, that old thief tricked me!?"

In Ivan's gradually dilated pupils, with his body as the center, two completely different force fields rotated in the shape of a vortex. With him as the eye of the storm, it spun wildly, gradually turning into a storm of electric light.

A tearing pain appeared in his mind, and he suddenly felt that the whole world had become turned upside down. The space is distorted, with distorted light on one side and broken darkness on the other.

"It's bad, it's bad!"

"If I continue like this, my martial arts will be wasted, and at worst, I will explode on the spot!"

"There is really something wrong with the Holy Book of the Underworld, I can't learn it anymore, I must do my best to eliminate the dark energy!"

Ivan let out a heavy gasp, his entire body changing in the staggered flashes of different colors, he clenched his teeth suddenly, his body squatted violently, and his arms slammed into the ground.

He began to do his best to guide the power of light to repel the dark energy, and this force immediately caused the muscles between the nape of the neck to bulge high, and the muscles and muscles to knot. The whole body floated with a flame-like golden light, and the blue-black tendons bulged like snakes, like thick wires and pipes, splashing out with pitch-black arcs.

"What's going on!?Why can't you turn off the Void Engine of dark energy!?"

He tried several times, but the dark hole in his chest could not be closed, his brain suddenly swelled with pain, and the shadow of death suddenly covered him like an impenetrable net.

......

At the top of a tall white tower in the distance of the temple, on a circular terrace covered by a parapet, two figures, one old and one young, stood side by side, looking down in the direction.

"Sacrifice to your lordship...... The king doesn't seem to be able to do it!"

Xia Li looked at the figure bathed in electric light, and couldn't help but cover her mouth, revealing a frightened expression.

"You can turn on the Void Engine of dark energy overnight...... worthy of our king...... As long as he fuses the power of the two holy texts, he will be able to create the most perfect body in my ideals......"

Ozmandis narrowed his eyes and silently observed this scene, but the light in his dim eyes became brighter and brighter, and a smile soon appeared on his old face:

"For the sake of this great goal, a little tribulation is nothing. ”

————————

"Ahh

He let out a muffled roar of pain, feeling as if he had been thrown into a meat grinder, constantly being cut by countless blades, and his consciousness became blurred by the severe pain.

"Shut it up!"

"Shut it up!"

"Shut it up!"

A few rays of golden light swam in Ivan eyes, and soon they were covered in magma-like red light, trying to stay awake as best they could, trying again and again to turn off the Void Engine.

"Shut it up!"

He roared wildly, and for some reason, the more he screamed, the calmer he became. Suddenly, Ivan felt a tremor in the depths of his brain, and a certain string that restricted him suddenly broke in this bald head of life and death.

Then, he felt as if time had fallen silent, he could no longer hear any sound, and everything around him seemed to slow down - this was the phenomenon of spiritual power sublimating to the limit, and then breaking through the critical point.

"Hah!"

Taking advantage of this sudden turnaround, Ivan slammed his fist into his chest, and the light rolled chaotically, and the muscles of his whole body swelled, and the fire of the sun covering his whole body instantly doubled in intensity.

In the next moment, his voice was drowned out by a louder voice, shattered in the huge sound wave, his pupils instantly contracted, and the pitch-black hollow in his chest twisted violently...... Then light energy poured out from the inside out......

Ivan suddenly seemed to be petrified, and froze in place - his efforts not only did not turn off the Void Engine of dark energy, but on this basis, turned on the Void Engine of light energy......
