Chapter 139 The Demon-Slaying Artifact's Spiritual Intelligence Test: Successfully Recognizing

The mysterious figure followed without hesitation. The black vortex slowly closed behind him. The vortex was like a huge black whirlpool, exuding a cold aura. Accompanied by a "whooshing" sound of wind, it seemed to swallow up all the noise of the world.

As soon as she entered the vortex, Dai Yao felt dizzy and disoriented. Her head felt like it was being sucked into a giant blender, everything in front of her was spinning wildly, and her ears were filled with the whooshing sound of the wind and the pounding of her heart. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a vast white space, blindingly white all around, with no end in sight. It was as if she had suddenly stumbled into a void of white ocean, and a strong sense of loneliness washed over her.

"What kind of place is this?" Dai Yao complained, her voice echoing in the empty white space, sounding somewhat ethereal.

Before she could react, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed. She was back to the moment when she was surrounded and isolated by the righteous forces. Sharp sword energy whistled through the air, carrying a chilling wind, like a pack of hungry wolves howling, and the fear of death enveloped her once again.

Dai Yao instinctively tried to dodge, but found that she couldn't move her body. She could feel cold sweat seeping from her forehead and sliding down her cheeks. The cool touch made her even more nervous.

"Heh, with such meager abilities, you think you can claim a master? Dream on!" The spirit of the demonic artifact's voice, filled with sarcasm, echoed through the space, the sound seemingly coming from all directions, buzzing and humming.

Dai Yao clenched her teeth, the teeth grinding against each other with a "crunching" sound, forcing herself to calm down. She knew this was just an illusion!

Just then, the illusion shifted again. Dai Yao found herself back in modern society, sitting in front of a computer typing. The familiar keyboard was right in front of her, the letters on the keycaps clearly visible. Her fingers touched the keyboard, feeling its slight coolness and raised texture. In the familiar room, she could smell the faint scent of paper and ink; everything felt so real. A gentle voice sounded in her ear: "Yao Yao, stop writing and come eat." It was her mother's voice, as soft as a feather brushing against her heart.

Dai Yao felt a lump in her throat and almost believed it.

"No! I clearly already..." Dai Yao suddenly woke up, "It's an illusion again! This damn thing really knows how to pick on my weaknesses!"

Just as Dai Yao was struggling to resist the illusion, a dark figure silently sneaked into the trial space.

"Hmph, Dai Yao, you're dead this time!" Yingyue sneered, condensing a black energy ball in her hand and hurling it fiercely towards Dai Yao.

With a loud "boom," the sound made Dai Yao's ears ring. The illusion shook violently, and Dai Yao felt the ground beneath her feet shaking as if an earthquake had struck. She was shaken so badly that she almost fell, and her body swayed a few times.

"Who?!" Dai Yao looked around warily, her eyes nervously searching for any movement around her.

The spirit of the magical artifact also exclaimed in surprise: "Who goes there?! How dare you trespass into my trial space!"

Yingyue revealed himself with a ferocious smile on his face: "Dai Yao, your good days are over!" He once again condensed an energy ball, which flashed with black light in his hand and was accompanied by a "sizzling" sound of energy flowing, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Dai Yao.

Just at this critical moment, a figure stood in front of Dai Yao.

"If you want to hurt Yao Yao, you'll have to get past me first!" This is a mysterious figure!

“You…” Dai Yao was stunned.

The mysterious figure turned back and gave her a reassuring look, a look filled with both determination and tenderness. Then he turned to face Yingyue directly: "Your opponent is me." A longsword radiating golden light suddenly appeared in his hand, so bright it was almost blinding. The blade pointed directly at Yingyue: "Come on!"

"You're courting death!" Yingyue roared, and the two instantly clashed. Their figures moved swiftly, creating a whooshing sound, and the collision of swords and energy produced a clanging sound.

As Dai Yao watched the fierce battle unfold before her, a strange unease suddenly welled up within her.

This illusion...

Something seems wrong.

She looked up at the sky, which was filled with dark clouds, creating a somewhat oppressive atmosphere. She murmured to herself, "Could it be..."

Dai Yao gritted her teeth and dodged left and right in the illusion.

This spirit of the demon-slaying artifact really knows how to play tricks!

One minute they're making her experience the fear of death, the next they're giving her a tender moment, and now a treacherous villain is launching a sneak attack!

It's practically a VIP luxury package!

But who is Dai Yao?

A seasoned reader of online novels in the 21st century!

What storms haven't I weathered?

A mere illusion won't make her submit!

She began to analyze the situation calmly. Although these illusions were realistic, they precisely targeted her weaknesses and exposed her vulnerabilities.

fear?

Those two words don't exist in Dai Yao's dictionary!

Family affection?

Hmph, she's seen countless tragic scenes in novels and has a heart of stone!

As she navigated the illusion with Shadowmoon, she searched for logical flaws within it.

Shadow Moon is like a rat in the gutter, hiding in the shadows and occasionally shooting sneak attacks.

Dai Yao sneered. Did she really think she was easy to bully?

"You little punk, trying to play dirty tricks on me? You're still too green!" Relying on her keen intuition and familiarity with the plot, she dodged Shadowmoon's attacks time and time again. She could hear Shadowmoon's angry roars as his attacks missed, and the hissing sound of his energy cutting through the air around him.

Outside the illusion, Xiaomeng paced anxiously back and forth, her footsteps making a "tap tap" sound.

"Sister Yao Yao, you must hold on!" She clenched her fists, wishing she could rush in and help.

Yingfeng frowned, trying to break the restriction set by the spirit of the demonic artifact, but found that the restriction was exceptionally powerful and could not be broken through in a short time.

"Damn it!" he cursed under his breath, his voice filled with worry.

Within the illusion, Dai Yao and Ying Yue had already exchanged dozens of blows.

Although Dai Yao was at a disadvantage, she did not give up, but instead fought harder and harder.

She discovered that whenever she found a loophole in the illusion, Shadowmoon's attacks would become even more frenzied.

This made her even more certain that the key to breaking the illusion lay in finding these loopholes!

"Hehe, you little rascal, you've run out of tricks!" Dai Yao mocked as she dodged Ying Yue's attacks.

Suddenly, Dai Yao had a flash of inspiration, and a bold idea emerged in her mind.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a sly smile.

"Demon Artifact Spirit, you think you can stump me like this? You underestimate me, Dai Yao!" She deliberately revealed a flaw to lure Yingyue closer.

Just as Yingyue was about to succeed, Dai Yao suddenly shouted, "Stop!" Dai Yao's shout of "Stop!" was powerful, like a spell that came to life, even the air seemed to freeze. Yingyue's expression instantly froze, his eyes still filled with the fierce glint of impending victory. The surrounding air stopped moving, the howling wind abruptly ceased, and his impending attack halted in mid-air. Then, in this frozen world, Dai Yao began to tease the spirit of the demonic artifact. Each of her words was like a thunderclap breaking the silence, her voice echoing in the still space, creating a peculiar effect.

Outside the illusion, Xiaomeng and Yingfeng also watched the changes within the illusion with bated breath.

“Hey, you magic artifact guy,” Dai Yao cleared her throat, her tone tinged with a hint of teasing, “your illusion design is great in terms of sound, light, and electricity, but the plot is a bit cliché. The villains are always cowardly cowards hiding their heads, and the protagonists are always in danger but manage to escape unscathed. I can guess the ending with my eyes closed.”

The illusion rippled, seemingly a response from the spirit of the magical artifact.

Dai Yao was secretly delighted; the fish had taken the bait!

"Furthermore, the setting of your magical artifact is too... how should I put it, a bit childish, isn't it? Dark, bloodthirsty, world-destroying... please, environmental protection and sustainable development are popular now, shouldn't you update this setting?"

As Dai Yao spoke, she observed Ying Yue's reaction.

Sure enough, Shadowmoon's attack rhythm was disrupted, and he seemed to feel the pressure from the spirit of the magical artifact. His expression was somewhat flustered, and his eyes held a hint of unease.

Dai Yao seized the opportunity to amplify her message: "To be honest, you have great potential, but you need someone who understands you to guide you. For example, I really admire your...unique temperament. If you're willing, I can help you create a completely new image and make you a fashion icon in the world of magical artifacts!"

The demonic artifact spirit, hiding in the shadows, initially found Dai Yao's teasing quite amusing. However, as it listened, it began to realize that the woman's words made some sense. Its journey from amusement to serious consideration of Dai Yao's words was more nuanced. While observing Dai Yao in the shadows, it noticed a unique aura about her, one unlike any other master it had ever encountered, which made it take Dai Yao's words even more seriously.

So, it secretly gave Dai Yao a cheat code, helping her defend against Yingyue's attacks.

Shadowmoon felt his attacks becoming increasingly powerless, as if hitting cotton. Enraged, he recklessly charged at the magical artifact, attempting to forcibly break its bondage.

Seeing this, Dai Yao sneered, "You think you can take me?" She concentrated all her power, and at this moment she could feel the power within her body converging like a rushing river. With the blessing of the demonic artifact's spirit, this power became even more turbulent. The surrounding space began to distort and deform because of this powerful force, like a huge stone being thrown into a calm lake. She unleashed a "Heaven and Earth Throw" attack, slamming it fiercely towards Ying Yue.

This attack contained all of Dai Yao's cultivation, and more importantly, it was blessed by the spirit of the demonic artifact!

With a deafening roar, like a thunderclap, Yingyue was thrown back by the powerful force. His face was filled with terror, his eyes were wide open, and he spat out blood. His body fled in a sorry state like a kite with a broken string.

Dai Yao stood in front of the demonic artifact and slowly stretched out her hand...

“Now, it’s time for us to have a proper chat.” The moment Dai Yao’s hand touched the magical artifact, a powerful force surged into her body, as if a sleeping dragon had finally awakened. She could feel the power coursing through her body, filling her with a sense of strength.

The once dull and lifeless magical artifact now burst forth with dazzling light, illuminating the entire illusion.

"Congratulations, you have passed my test." A deep and magnetic voice rang in Dai Yao's mind, with a hint of barely perceptible arrogance. "From today onwards, you are my master."

Dai Yao raised an eyebrow and smiled, "You should have said so earlier, instead of making such a fuss."

The spirit of the magical artifact: "..." Having lived for so long, this was the first time it had encountered something like this...

An owner who doesn't play by the rules.

Yingfeng and Xiaomeng, who were outside the illusion, both breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this scene.

Xiao Meng jumped up excitedly: "Great! Sister Yao Yao succeeded!" Ying Feng nodded silently, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.

This guy always manages to surprise people.

Dai Yao felt the surging power of the magical artifact within her body, clenched her fist, and felt that she could now smash a mountain with a single punch.

She patted the magic device with satisfaction, as if praising an obedient pet: "Not bad, not bad. From now on, follow me, and I guarantee you'll live the high life."

The spirit of the magical artifact: "..." It had a feeling that following this master, the future might be...

very exciting.

Dai Yao was just about to examine her newly acquired magical artifact when she suddenly noticed deep, dark restrictions flickering around it...

"What the hell is this?"
