Chapter 595 - 594: Training the primordial demon body

"Haa... haa... haa..." Keith and Kiro breathed heavily. At this moment, they were both in their human forms, with large beads of sweat rolling down their faces. They had spent close to an hour killing those weird creatures. They looked like rats, except they were several times larger, with elongated mouths filled with razor-sharp teeth and completely bare skin. Their pink flesh was enough to give both Keith and Kiro nightmares. "So... shall we continue?" Kiro asked, his breathing heavy. Keith laughed from the side. "Sure... I can do this all day." The two immediately collapsed onto the ground. At this point, they were completely drained. Their bodies barely contained any energy. Yet before they could even relax, the grass was suddenly torn apart as more beasts charged toward them. "Well, fuck me..." Keith muttered. Kiro couldn’t help but laugh. --- "So, we have to pass the trials now?" At this moment, Keith asked Kiro, who looked as though he had already lost thirteen lives. "Yeah, something like that. What kind of ruin is this?" Kiro couldn’t help but ask. Behind them was the mutilated corpse of a massive creature that stood more than a dozen meters tall. It had been at the Peak Rank 0 Realm, and the two of them had needed to go far beyond their limits before they could finally kill it. Keith had also reached the High-Level Rank 0 Realm after absorbing the blood of the dead creatures. So, two High-Level Rank 0 beings working together had actually managed to defeat a Peak Rank 0 being! --- Upper Realm... Chill music played in the background as a tall, well-defined human with slightly dark skin stood in the middle of the room. Void was shirtless, wearing only a pair of shorts, leaving his well-developed upper body and powerful thighs exposed. His muscles were locked firmly in place, their definition enough to make even the most beautiful gods envious. At this moment, Void was inside a small room. The room was filled with weights. But these weren’t ordinary weights. Void had actually condensed entire multiverses into weight bars, with each individual weight containing the mass of multiple multiverses. As he became stronger, Void had realized something about the Demon Race. Their bodies were terrifying. But at the same time, demons didn’t specifically train their bodies, especially the Primordial Demon Body exclusive to Rank 4 demons. It naturally grew stronger as they advanced. But what if he started training his body as well? Would it eventually reach a stage where he could become physically durable enough to tank an attack from a being a realm above him? Void genuinely wanted to know the answer. So he trained like never before. Now, he had finished another training session. It was time to see how much he had gained from it. The weights in the room suddenly disappeared, leaving the space completely empty. The surrounding space trembled. Then, Void-like beings appeared. Unlike traditional clones, these were more like projections that could become real for a certain amount of time. They had only one function. To mimic Void from a specific point in his history. In other words, Void himself became the training partner of his future self. Two Void projections appeared. They looked almost identical to him, except one had a buzz cuts while the other was in demon form. Void currently had long, flowing dark hair. His appearance was so beautiful that he resembled the male gods of legend, possessing a beauty capable of charming almost any creature. "Alright. Don’t hold back." Void spoke to his two opponents. "Sure." VD1 spoke with a grin. He was wearing the battle suit given to all Dreadlock members. The distinctive dark-and-gold suit looked almost like the finishing touch on his well-defined body. "Oh, trust me..." "You’ll be begging us to stop." VD2 spoke. He was in Void’s demon form, his crimson eyes glowing with excitement. The two didn’t just possess Void’s strength. They possessed his knowledge, his abilities, and his battle experience. They were essentially Void himself, taken from specific points in his history. That was why they could be considered short-lived projections capable of becoming real for an extended period. Once their duration ended, they would simply return to their respective points in the historical timeline. Void smiled. The three of them took their stances. Then— The two Void projections moved. They crossed the distance between them almost instantly using the Origin of Space, and the surrounding space was immediately locked down. VD1 used the Origin of Time to lock Void’s mind and separate it from his body, potentially freezing him in time. Meanwhile, VD2 used the Origin of Infinity. With the Origin of Space already restricting the area, even if Void somehow managed to dodge, the attack would still find him. BANG! VD2’s fist slammed into Void’s abdomen, causing his body to hunch forward. BOOM! VD1 punched Void directly in the jaw. Void temporarily broke free from the Origin of Time as blood sprayed from his mouth. But his mind was frozen once again. However, Void had already activated the Origin of Creation. BANG! BOOM! The two VDs attacked simultaneously, but their attacks bounced off as a bubble-like shield appeared around Void, blocking them. But that wasn’t all. SPLURT! VD1 suddenly vomited blood. Void had used his Sword Intent to forcibly split apart the restrictions of time, allowing his mind to function once again. In an instant, he appeared directly in front of VD1. A long white sword pierced into VD1’s body, nearly splitting him in half. At that moment, Void sensed a crisis. He immediately abandoned his sword and retreated. The space where he had been standing suddenly compressed rapidly. Then— BOOM! It exploded. "Fuck... chill out." Void muttered. That attack could have easily destroyed a multiverse. That was how terrifying it was. VD2 grinned. "Come on... you can tank it." He teased. Void rolled his eyes. Meanwhile, VD1 pulled Nameless from his body and looked at the sword with a smile. "You know... since we’re all one, I can use him too." "And combined with the Sword Demon’s Sword Intent..." VD1 smiled. Void crossed his arms. But it was useless. His eyes were suddenly pierced by invisible sword intent. Intense pain flooded his mind. Meanwhile, VD2 had already approached. He grabbed Void’s head and drove his knee into his face. BANG! CRACK! Void’s nose broke instantly. He only saw a brief flash of light with his regenerated eyes before he felt his chest being pierced. VD1 twisted the sword. Void groaned in agony as blood gushed from the wound and spilled from his mouth. "Impressive..." Void gritted his teeth. VD1 nodded. "Indeed." He twisted the sword even further. Void lowered his head and groaned as his knees slammed into the ground. He reached for the blade of Nameless and grabbed it with his bare hand. But it felt like grabbing a red-hot blade. His palm was sliced almost completely through, demonstrating just how terrifyingly sharp Nameless was.
