Gu Huojin had seen Xiang Yu and Yu Ji enter this green space. He had previously worried that there might be a trap inside, so he hadn't followed them in. Now, however, he was suspicious and dared not enter easily, feeling that he would surely die if he went in.
But now, he was surrounded, and the chilling green space suddenly closed up in an instant!
A three-dimensional door isn't something you can simply avoid; its six sides shrink and converge into a single point, making it a door that actively swallows people up.
Gu Huojin snorted coldly, not expecting that the other party would not even let him escape. It was simply too much of a bullying of the Dao Ancestor!
However, the other party must have been hiding here all along. If we can find them...
"Come out if you dare!" Gu Huojin used his divine sense to probe inside, and there was no one else besides him!
Xiang Yu and Yu Ji have already gone out!
"What does my husband intend to do with him?" Yu Ji asked with a smile.
"I can't kill him with this clone for now, so let's keep him locked up inside. If he can maintain his Dao Ancestor level until I reach the Overlord God level, then I'll fight him again." As Xiang Yu spoke, he opened a small three-dimensional door and threw the Heart Demon Stone inside to keep Gu Huojin company.
While it's certainly more effective to put this thing directly inside the body, if it's in the same space and close enough, it will still have an effect, essentially drawing blood little by little without being able to stop the bleeding.
The only way, whether in ancient or modern times, is to use the laws of time and existing magic to continuously reverse time in the alternate dimension. Moreover, there is no need to worry about assimilation with the Heavenly Dao. Even if the lower body is crippled, it will become part of the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Realm.
However, there is one thing to note: in this situation, both ancient and modern people will have to repeatedly experience the pain of losing their immortal power, which is extremely tragic.
Most importantly, the long-planned Chaos Dao Ancestor project by Gu Huojin was completely aborted, and thus it was thwarted by Xiang Yu and Yu Ji, a couple who had just ascended to the Immortal Realm.
With the correct method of using the Door-Door Fruit developed by Hao Jiu, plus the Heart Demon Stone, the nemesis of cultivators, which was found in another world, it's that simple to defeat the strong with the weak.
To be able to arrange the most powerful Time Dao Ancestor in the plane so clearly right after ascending is to have jumped several major realms in one go.
In short, from that day on, the immortal ruler Gu Huojin disappeared.
Yu Ji could use this opportunity to become the Time Dao Ancestor, and then leave this world with Xiang Yu.
As long as one is not in this plane of existence, one will not be assimilated by the Heavenly Dao, and the situation of being crippled from the waist down like in ancient or modern times will naturally not occur.
Meanwhile, in the Soul Technology dimension...
Xiang Yu, who is three meters tall, is trying to shrink back to his normal height. Then he uses the black technology that can shrink his body again, but he goes too far.
Although it didn't grow to Ant-Man's size, it was about the same size as a dwarf.
What else could Xiang Yu do but take some more antidote?
However, embarrassingly, because of the shrinking factor in his body, the antidote took effect a beat slower, and Xiang Yu's height reached a staggering five meters this time!
Perhaps because he had taken the antidote too many times, Xiang Yu's clone developed some drug resistance, making it increasingly difficult to control the dosage and preventing him from returning to his normal height.
Fortunately, Xiang Yu wasn't worried about harming his body with this medicine, which would allow him to cooperate with the antidote research team's experiments.
And so, Xiang Yu grew bigger, then smaller, then bigger again, then smaller again...
After repeating this process several times, Xiang Yu's height stabilized at around 2.3 meters, which was considered an acceptable height.
But Xiang Yu seemed to be bewitched, continuing to adjust his height and play the game of getting bigger and smaller.
"Hey, what's wrong with you, Overlord?" Hao Jiu asked, somewhat puzzled.
Xiang Yu drank another cup of the antidote. "I want to experience this feeling a little longer. Hasn't Dionysus noticed? My height has always remained stable at this level. I think I'm gradually gaining control over my body."
Hao Jiu's eyes lit up. "Could this be the correct way to use the antidote? Then what are we waiting for? Let's continue!"
Soon after, Hao Jiu clapped his hands and laughed after a gasp of surprise, because Xiang Yu really could control his body to grow larger without drinking the antidote.
The black technology shrinking factor and the antidote seem to coexist within Xiang Yu's clone, allowing him to change his body size at will.
This is somewhat similar to the giantification of the Yaksha tribe, but it is also clearly different. Instead, it is closer to the abilities of Ant-Man in Marvel, except that it does not require equipment.
Ant-Man's greatest strength isn't growing bigger, but shrinking to an extremely small size, entering the microscopic world of quantum mechanics!
Chapter 586 The Three Kingdoms
Originally, Xiang Yu couldn't control his body size freely with just the shrinking factor and the antidote, but after fusing with the domineering energy, everything became entirely at his command.
Even the microscopic world of quantum mechanics isn't too difficult, and unlike Marvel's Ant-Man, you won't get lost in the microscopic world and be unable to escape, after all, there's the shadow system.
If Xiang Yu's clone is already this powerful, his main body must be even stronger. It feels like he's already invincible before even reaching the divine realm.
As a result, the training program in the Yuan Energy Training Machine became an entertainment project. No matter how many dungeons Xiang Yu ran, he could not obtain the fighting spirit, and his realm was stuck at the peak of the Heavenly Realm Overlord Qi, unable to break through.
Hao Jiu, along with the second-generation sage and the upgraded supercomputer Hong Hong, discussed and finalized a brand-new training instance to help Xiang Yu gain the fighting spirit.
"God of Wine, I think I should be able to enter the underworld now." Xiang Yu was also thinking about countermeasures and looking for an opponent who could help him break through.
With his current combat power, even if Gu Huojin from the Immortal Realm appeared in the Yuan Energy Training Dungeon, he would probably find it difficult to gain much fighting spirit.
If it's not even working in the Yuan Energy Training instance, then fighting Gu Huojin in real life would be even more meaningless. Moreover, the current Gu Huojin is much weaker than the Time Dao Ancestor in his peak state, with all his functions below the waist completely useless, making him look quite pathetic.
Hao Jiu thought for a moment, "Let's not rush to unseal the Underworld. We haven't figured out the exact function of that seal yet. Why don't we go explore some powerful higher planes in the myriad worlds?"
As the saying goes, there are always people better than you and heavens beyond heavens. The overlord will always find a real opponent. And has the overlord ever thought that by just accumulating fighting spirit, he can really break through his limitations?
No one has ever reached the level of divine dominance, so experience in this area can only be gained through personal exploration. Perhaps the more experience we gain and the more we try, the more unexpected results we might achieve.
Xiang Yu nodded slightly. "What the God of Wine says is absolutely right. Let's choose a plane as soon as possible."
"Okay. Oh, right, there's one more thing. I plan to have Li Canghai go to a cultivation world to cultivate the Law of Reincarnation, so that the three supreme laws will be complete. She has already agreed."
Hao Jiu's decision not to go to the Underworld first was also based on this consideration. The Underworld is closely related to reincarnation, and it would be safer for Li Canghai to enter the Underworld after he has cultivated the Law of Reincarnation.
"Then who should handle the affairs of headquarters?" Xiang Yu was already used to having Li Canghai as his chief secretary, and he didn't have to worry about anything.
"Li Canghai has already handed over the reins to Xu Fu. Xu Fu is an extremely intelligent girl who picks up things very quickly. Moreover, she has the ability to divine, so there won't be any problems." Hao Jiu still has high hopes for Xu Fu and believes she can take over Li Canghai's work well. In the future, she can also develop a divination method for her, which will definitely be more practical than the prophecy method.
"Hmm," Xiang Yu responded, not finding anything wrong with the matter.
"Without further ado, Overlord, let's prepare to head to the new plane." Hao Jiu smiled slightly.
"Let's begin." Xiang Yu felt that he didn't need to prepare anything. He could just transmit whatever he needed through the Shadow System. There was no need to say goodbye. Xiang Yu's clone was also himself. Apart from the difference in strength, everything else was the same.
Just then, a cheerful neigh came from the side.
Neigh~~~
It was none other than the black horse, Wuzhui.
Now, the black horse's fighting power is comparable to that of a half-step Dao Ancestor.
Because the black horse has given up transforming into a human, the upgrade method suitable for her is very economical and efficient.
Hao Jiu was very pleased with this and was willing to invest in the Wuzhui horse.
"Haha!" Xiang Yu laughed, decisively mounted his horse, and seemed to have returned to his former self.
"The Overlord would look much cooler if he wore his armor and halberd properly," Hao Jiu joked.
"Alright," Xiang Yu readily agreed.
The Overlord's Divine Armor has reappeared. The Overlord's Divine Halberd is still the indestructible halberd, but the Overlord's Battle Armor is different from the original. It has been integrated with the mecha technology of the Gulu Dimension, making it more handsome and stronger.
Not only is its physical defense nearly invincible, but its magical defense is also extremely strong. Moreover, like the later armor of Marvel's Iron Man, it can fly autonomously and be worn automatically. When combined, it can also be used as a robot.
Hao Jiu bought another super energy shield, which was quite expensive. Once the shield was erected, it could block most attacks, just like carrying a protective array with him.
For the enemy to defeat Xiang Yu, they must first break through this energy shield. However, Hao Jiu currently possesses enough energy that it would take considerable effort to count the number of digits, and there's even a chance of miscounting.
"Let's go!" Hao Jiu said, using a time-traveling artifact. Their destination was... the Three Kingdoms of Forbidden Magic!
Then.
BIU~~
A flash of white light, and Xiang Yu appeared high in the sky, riding his black horse and carrying the Overlord's Halberd.
"Hurry up and enter the alternate dimension, it wouldn't be good if other systems found out," Hao Jiu reminded him.
"I can't open the alternate dimension anymore... Hiss!" Xiang Yu's expression changed slightly. It seemed that everything was accelerating upwards, and this feeling was familiar!
Neigh~~~
With a neigh, the black horse kicked wildly with its hooves. The divine beast, which was a half-step Dao Ancestor, could no longer fly!
The flying technique that Wuzhui used in its early days, which involved creating clouds under its feet and transforming into a celestial horse, was also ineffective, as was the Overlord's Moon-Shaving Step!
Whoosh!
A man and a horse plummeted downwards!
Xiang Yu's attempt to fly on his own also failed. Jumping off his black horse and using the Overlord's Moon-Shaving Step was also useless. Even his high-tech armor malfunctioned.
"The name of this plane is 'Forbidden Magic Three Kingdoms'? Forbidden Magic should mean that the use of any magic is prohibited, right? Flight is a kind of magic too!"
"Uh, that's right." Hao Jiu's voice was a little off-key, "But I really didn't expect this plane to be so demon-suppressed, even advanced technology is banned!"
"Go back, immediately back to the Soul Technology Plane!" Xiang Yu didn't know how high this place was, but the air here was very thin, so there was basically no resistance.
Xiang Yu wasn't afraid of falling from a great height, as he had done it many times before. However, he couldn't use any of his supernatural abilities, including his domineering energy and other-dimensional space, which was incredibly frustrating.
Going back would be best, but...
"The dimension is blocked, and the items cannot be used." Hao Jiu smiled bitterly.
"Understood, then let's destroy this magic-suppressing system!" Xiang Yu burst into flames, smoke billowing from his eyes!
It turned into a small meteor that plunged into the atmosphere; well, the black horse was a large meteor...
Below, on the land.
A lone rider galloped forward, his bow and arrow aimed at a leopard ahead, ready to fire at any moment.
A troop of cavalry was chasing them frantically from several hundred feet behind, shouting repeatedly, "General, slow down! General..."
Suddenly, three people emerged from the bushes ahead, each carrying a crossbow.
"Whoa!" The man on horseback reined in his horse and asked, "Who are you?"
The three replied, "We are soldiers of Han Dang, and we are here to hunt deer!"
"I know all of Han Dang's soldiers, but I've never seen you before!" The man on horseback suddenly shot an arrow as he spoke, and one of the three men immediately fell down with the sound of the bowstring.
The remaining two hurriedly fired arrows in retaliation, and one of the arrows happened to hit the man on horseback in the cheek.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Bang! Bang!
