Bai Xiaosheng's aura grew stronger and stronger. All the game consoles in the arcade that hadn't been destroyed automatically powered on, and the game characters on the screens began to flash.
"I really didn't want to waste that thing here..."
Bai Xiaosheng staggered to his feet, and a long sword condensed from pixels materialized in his hand.
"Although I am an old stubborn, I have always maintained a learning attitude, traveling to various countries in the world, seeking breakthroughs in swordsmanship."
"This sword was obtained by chance during my travels in Japan. It harbors the power of too many whimsical ideas. Keeping it by my side, I have benefited greatly every day."
"Unfortunately, the power contained within this sword is limited, and it depletes with each use. I didn't want to waste it here."
"That's truly a hardship for you," Ye Ling teased with a smile.
"The time you can be so stubborn is only now," Bai Xiaosheng said coldly, looking at Ye Ling. He put away the array disk in his hand and simultaneously planted his pixel sword into the ground.
Sword qi condensed from pixels crisscrossed the arcade. Any game console hit by the sword qi lit up with a dazzling glow.
"Pixel Holy Sword: Game Paradise!"
Bai Xiaosheng roared. The characters from the surrounding game consoles flew out of the screens. All sorts of familiar childhood characters stood in the arcade, and even Ye Ling couldn't help but be stunned.
"There's such a treasure?"
Ye Ling looked at the sword in Bai Xiaosheng's hand, completely surprised. He hadn't expected such an interesting item to exist in this world!
He could naturally feel that the pixel sword contained the power of the Great Dao, similar to the Heavenly Machine Diagram in his hand.
However, the function of the Heavenly Machine Diagram was to borrow the power of the Great Dao to inquire about the answers of the world, while the pixel sword used the power of the Great Dao to materialize virtual characters and then grant them corresponding power based on the manifested characters.
Some of the characters that appeared were weak, like Snake, less than a First-Rank Extraordinary, while others were strong, like Orochi from The King of Fighters, whose power was almost god-like, a true peak Mortal Immortal!
This ability to manifest virtual characters, apart from being interesting, did not enhance the power of the Great Dao in any way.
The pixel sword, in essence, also consumed the power of the Great Dao to create everything.
Setting aside the question of why the pixel sword contained so much power of the Great Dao, Ye Ling began to wonder what kind of interesting soul could create such an interesting treasure.
Although this sword was of no use to him, it would be nice to collect.
The surrounding arcade environment also began to pixelate. The group of men in black behind them suddenly let out piercing screams. Ye Ling looked back and saw that all of them had turned into pixel dots and were dissipating.
"Don't be surprised. This Pixel Holy Sword can alter the surrounding environment, turning everything into a game world. Extraordinary individuals below the Seventh Rank will be assimilated into the game world as part of it."
"Of course, neither you nor I will be assimilated by the Pixel Holy Sword, but we will still have to abide by the rules of this game world."
Bai Xiaosheng smiled and pointed to the green health bar above his head, "As long as this health bar is empty, your soul will scatter."
As Bai Xiaosheng finished speaking, Ye Ling also looked above his own head and indeed saw a health bar.
"Not only that, but you can also see your own stats," Bai Xiaosheng chuckled. "I'm very curious now, what are your stats like? Is your level maxed out?"
"But it doesn't matter. In this Game Paradise, with me wielding the Pixel Holy Sword, all my stats are at their peak. Here, even a god would have to bow at my feet!"
"I am the only true god of this game!"
Bai Xiaosheng laughed heartily. The surrounding pixel world instantly expanded ten thousand times, and Bai Xiaosheng also put a great distance between himself and Ye Ling!
He sat on a pixelated throne and shouted at Ye Ling, "Come, Ye Ling! Let me see how many levels you can clear in this game world! Can you still toy with me like you did when you were playing games earlier?"
"I will be the final boss, waiting for you at the end!"
"There's such a thing?"
Ye Ling glanced at Bai Xiaosheng in the distance, then scanned the various game characters around him and brought up his own status panel.
However...
Whether it was his level, health bar, or various stats, they all displayed question marks.
When Bai Xiaosheng activated his domain, Ye Ling felt a mysterious force trying to analyze his body, but he naturally drove that force away.
"So that force earlier was trying to confirm my stats... I drove it away, which somewhat spoiled the fun."
Ye Ling shook his head and smiled. Although he quite liked the game world created by Bai Xiaosheng, he was now an anomaly in this game world.
Bai Xiaosheng couldn't see Ye Ling's specific stats, but he knew that in this Game Paradise, everyone had to follow the game rules.
And with him mastering the Pixel Holy Sword, he could change the rules here at will!
In this domain, Ye Ling could never win against him!
"Let me see how long you can last against the siege of these virtual characters!" Bai Xiaosheng's gaze was deep as he began to order all the game characters to attack Ye Ling, with colorful powers surging in the air.
"Being besieged by so many game characters for the first time, it's truly an eye-opener."
Looking at the familiar childhood moves attacking him, Ye Ling was filled with emotion.
However, despite his emotions, Ye Ling didn't have the patience to clear it level by level. He instantly disappeared from his spot and teleported in front of Bai Xiaosheng, reaching out to grab the Pixel Holy Sword.
Bai Xiaosheng had been sitting on his throne, excitedly watching the distance, wanting to see how Ye Ling would struggle among those virtual characters!
But now, Ye Ling had suddenly appeared before him!
Bai Xiaosheng trembled all over!
"You!!!"
Bai Xiaosheng's eyes widened. Before he could react, Ye Ling snatched the Pixel Holy Sword from his hand and said with a smile, "Let me play with this interesting thing too!"
Ye Ling chuckled, activated the power of the Pixel Holy Sword, and directly teleported Bai Xiaosheng into the midst of the virtual characters, changing his attire to beginner's clothes and even thoughtfully giving him a beginner's short sword!
Bai Xiaosheng looked at the game characters eyeing him covetously, his mind blank.
His stats, after losing the amplification of the pixel world, quickly returned to normal levels.
"This, this..."
Bai Xiaosheng swallowed hard, never expecting things to turn out this way!
With only a short sword in his hand, how could he possibly contend with those game characters who were nearly gods?
At this moment, he deeply understood how much cheating in a game could ruin the gaming experience!
Who exactly is this Ye Ling?
Bai Xiaosheng roared in his heart, his entire being becoming frenzied!
Ye Ling sat on the pixelated throne with a smile, weighed the Pixel Holy Sword in his hand, and looked at Bai Xiaosheng in the distance, his eyes filled with mockery. "Alright... the game begins."
As his words fell, Orochi from The King of Fighters '97 was the first to charge at Bai Xiaosheng!
The dazzling sunlight illuminated the entire game world!
"No, no... it shouldn't be like this!!!"
Bai Xiaosheng's mournful screams echoed throughout the world!
