After Chen Yue stepped into the house, the Element Measuring Instrument suddenly let out a soft chirp. Then, like a fierce beast that had been dormant for a long time, the whole house began to wriggle slightly. Blood-red light faintly seeped out of the house, and the air seemed to be filled with a murderous aura, making people shudder.

  In terms of momentum, it was much more thrilling than when Lili Dan was taking the test.

  Seeing this scene, Vinia's face immediately changed. She shouted sternly, "Kles Nor, how dare you activate the Purgatory Test!"

  The principle of the Element Measuring Instrument was to create illusions for the test takers, making them feel as if they were in various dangerous situations, so as to stimulate their life potential. The instrument calculated the approximate intensity of the Source of Life by absorbing the leaked life force.

  Generally speaking, most of the illusions generated by the Element Measuring Instrument were peaceful, and the dangers encountered were relatively ordinary, which wouldn't cause permanent mental damage to the test takers. However, the Purgatory difficulty was different.

  Rolling his eyes, Kles Nor naturally denied Vinia's accusation flatly, "How could it be? You saw it too. I didn't do anything at all. Besides, there is actually a one-in-ten-million chance of encountering such a Purgatory scene during the test. It's completely out of our control. Hehe, if you want to blame someone, you can only blame him for being so unlucky."

  Of course, Vinia knew this. But this was Kles Nor's training base. Even if he had tampered with something, she might be deceived if she wasn't fully focused. For the first time, Vinia regretted insisting on coming to this training base.

  Once the Element Measuring Instrument was activated, it couldn't be stopped. Otherwise, it might cause even greater harm to Chen Yue. No matter how anxious she was, Vinia could only wait for the test to end.

  Without saying anything more, her icy-cold words, one by one, clearly showed her attitude, "Kles Nor, if Chen Yue suffers any permanent harm, then I will not hesitate to go to war with you."

  Vinia's voice was powerful and firm, containing unquestionable determination and courage.

  Thinking about the surprises that Chen Yue had brought to her along the way and his respectful attitude without any impurities, which was truly treating her as a mentor with all his heart, how could Vinia not tell? She wouldn't regret her decision.

  If, really... then, she should also do something for him.

  Hearing her declaration, Kles Nor first showed an incredulous look, and then he became furious.

  He never thought that for a mere first-rank apostle, Vinia would not hesitate to fight him. This was unimaginable to him. Beings like them were thousands-of-years-old monsters. They should have already looked down on everything. How could they get so angry just for a disciple?

  He couldn't understand it, but he was angry.

  He was a high-rank apostle, yet he was going to war for such a ridiculous reason in his opinion. He just felt that his dignity had been challenged, which was unbearable for him.

  Well, if you want to fight, then let's fight.

  ...

  Go to war? The two deacons of the Apostle Association going to war?

  Lili Dan, who was standing by, was already stunned. If they really fought, perhaps the entire Heavenly Leaf Empire would fall apart because of it.

  Such an outcome was definitely not what Lili Dan hoped to see. But in the face of the anger of the two high-rank apostles, she was so insignificant. The only thing she could do was to pray wholeheartedly that that guy would be safe and sound.

  When Chen Yue opened his eyes, he found that he had come to an extremely tragic battlefield.

  Looking around, every corner was littered with countless corpses in tragic states. Many of them were human corpses, but more were the bodies of all kinds of strange and grotesque magical beasts.

  Scarlet blood was everywhere, and even the ground was dyed a ghastly blood-red. The air was filled with a bloodthirsty smell, and terrifying wails seemed to ring in his ears at any time, stimulating Chen Yue, making him lose his reason and rush to fight recklessly.

  Ordinary people would probably be scared out of their wits as soon as they arrived, or be stimulated by this tragic battlefield to fight recklessly until they, too, were torn apart like these many corpses.

  However, Chen Yue calmed down instead.

  The more unfavorable the environment was, the calmer one should be.

  There was no need for much speculation. A term came to his lips.

  Holographic scene.

  Chen Yue knew very well that he was currently inside the Element Measuring Instrument at the Crescent Island Training Base and definitely not on the so-called battlefield in front of him. In other words, everything in front of him was an illusion.

  It was fake.

  For people in this world, even if they knew it was fake, what they saw, heard, and touched made them feel extremely real, and it was easy for them to start doubting whether it was real or fake.

  Chen Yue was different. Such holographic scenes were very common on Earth in the 23rd century. People who were bored in daily life often entered various holographic scenes, either for relaxation, for excitement, or to experience historical scenes and feel that surging sense of pride and vicissitudes.

  Previously, as a homebody, Chen Yue had also created quite a number of holographic scenes, and there were quite a few of them about wars.

  From his expert perspective, this unknown holographic scene had many flaws and could be said to be worthless. If he excluded himself from the factor and just regarded this scene as a movie, it would be extremely real. Even with his discerning eye, he couldn't see the splicing marks. Obviously, this scene itself was a piece of real history, recorded through magic and not pieced together randomly.

  However, with Chen Yue's experience, it was naturally impossible for him to know the origin of this piece of history. There were countless countries on the Apostle Continent, and the powerful empires that had disappeared in the long river of time were as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River. It was impossible to verify them one by one.

  There were many types of holographic scenes, and the ways to break free from each of them were different. Before long, Chen Yue had judged the way to break free from this holographic scene, and his face immediately darkened.

  It was actually a mandatory holographic scene.

  In this kind of scene, death was useless because one would be resurrected immediately. One could only wait for the scene to progress automatically until certain conditions were met before being able to break free.

  People were just insignificant grains of sand in it and couldn't influence the overall situation at all.

  If it was a peaceful holographic scene, it would be okay. It would be like watching a free movie. But in this murderous battlefield, one had to constantly experience the terrifying cycle of death - resurrection - death. People with weak willpower might go insane even if they finally managed to break free because they couldn't bear the endless pain.

  Was there such an Element Measuring Instrument?

  Chen Yue's face was gloomy. What on earth did Kles Nor want to do?

  As he thought about it, a murderous look suddenly appeared on Chen Yue's face.

  ...

  Suddenly, the ground trembled violently. Ferocious beast roars quickly approached from afar, making people tremble with fear upon hearing them.

  Among a group of exhausted warriors, Chen Yue remained calm and completely unaffected, looking calmly ahead.

  A magical beast over ten meters tall rushed out from the corner with a stench of blood. Its huge body was like a mountain, giving people tremendous pressure. Even before it got close, it had already caused fear and uneasiness among the crowd.

  Compared to this ferocious and terrifying magical beast, West's Fire Lion was completely like a harmless cub.

  Under the commander's order, powerful magic that could destroy a small hill landed on the magical beast, immediately blowing it to pieces. Its green blood fell on the ground and immediately corroded out small bubbling pits.

  However, that was all. The magical beast, aroused by its ferocity, didn't retreat but charged into the crowd instead. Its two or three-meter-long sharp claws flapped up and down, quickly reaping the lives of its opponents.

  Wails filled the air all around.

  Constantly, magic landed on the fierce beast. The power of these magics was extremely powerful. Coupled with the desperate attacks of the fearless warriors around, the vitality of the fierce beast was quickly draining away.

  Just when the fierce beast swept away three or five warriors with one claw, Chen Yue leaped up, using the cover of magic to step on the body of the fierce beast all the way up to its brain area. The magic sword held high was infused with all his strength and stabbed Very calm (calmly and extremely precisely) into the brain of the fierce beast. Then, he slashed the magic sword to the left and right. A large amount of green blood immediately gushed out, spraying all over Chen Yue.

  The fierce beast let out a mournful cry and crashed to the ground, no longer having the strength to get up.

  The flesh and blood splashed by the green blood was immediately corroded. In an instant, Chen Yue's body was covered with pockmarks, looking extremely terrifying. Biting back the intense pain, Chen Yue looked down at the equally corroded and pockmarked magic sword, turned it around, and calmly inserted the tip of the sword into his own heart.

  Without the slightest hesitation, his expression was as if it wasn't his own body that was being stabbed.

  After Chen Yue was resurrected on the spot, his whole body had recovered as before, and once again, he involuntarily moved forward with the victorious remnants of the soldiers.

  Chen Yue couldn't remember how many days it had been since he entered the scene. Here, he couldn't summon his familiar spirit, nor could he practice the "Health Preservation Formula". The only thing he could do was to fight, fight endlessly.

  Such battles never stopped.

  He couldn't stop either. An invisible force was always pushing him forward.

  Along the way, he constantly fought against all kinds of magical beasts. The one he had just encountered was only a low- to mid-level existence among the magical beast army. The most terrifying ones were those magical beasts that could use magic. They could conduct remote attacks from tens of thousands of meters away, wiping out a large number of enemies. Their self-destruction after being defeated was like a small nuclear bomb, destroying everything within a radius of five kilometers.

  Just thinking that everything he had experienced was actually a piece of real history made Chen Yue shudder.

  The magical beasts here were extremely powerful. Even if Vinia and Kles Nor came here, they could only resist the mid-level magical beasts. And the magic and fighting spirit used by human warriors and magicians were ridiculously powerful, far beyond what Chen Yue had ever seen.

  Constantly dying and being resurrected, Chen Yue silently experienced the cruelty of the battlefield. Here, being injured was a burden. Every time, Chen Yue chose to commit suicide.

  No matter how many times he died, he firmly believed that everything here was an illusion, always maintaining a clear mind and never falling into a state of mental disorder. Slowly, his will became as tough as steel. Any injury or death couldn't move him. Such an environment was the best for tempering people. In the repeated battles, Chen Yue had honed his combat skills to an unimaginable level before, and his gaze became so sharp that it was terrifying.

  When encountering those melee fierce beasts again, he would choose the most appropriate opportunity to attack. Chen Yue could already ensure that he could kill them without getting hurt.

  Now, even if a fourth-rank fighter came, Chen Yue was confident that he could kill him with his combat skills.

  Kles Nor wanted to drive him insane, but little did he expect that Chen Yue would turn misfortune into good fortune instead.
