Chapter 137: The world is splendid
Yes, how could the master possibly block the spear formed by so much soul power?
I subconsciously worried, but in this body and soul dominated by the will of the previous life, my worries were suppressed by another inexplicable calm emotion as soon as they appeared.
I felt that the compressed thunder spells in the entire formation were loosening in several places. Before I had time to worry, I already knew that the best energy to deal with soul power was naturally thunder and lightning… ‘I’ was prepared to take action myself to deal with the spear that my master could not resist.
It was a strange experience, with two thoughts in my body, blending with each other. But it was also a terrifying experience, as I was always speculating about my own thoughts, talking to myself. In addition to the strong sense of uncontrollability, there was also a sense of being invaded.
Even though which one is not me in the past life and this life?
Thoughts are always the most unpredictable and fastest things. When my mind was in chaos, the hundreds of spears that had appeared in front of the spirit body had already shot out… and crashed into the barrier of my master’s soul power.
At that moment, I happened to step on the step-by-step gong… The loose lightning in the formation was also ready to go…
‘Bang, bang, bang,’ countless crisp sounds exploded around me, accompanied by the sound of the soul barrier breaking… But what shocked me was that not a single spear had broken through Master’s soul barrier.
“Sanwa, finish the last thing.” I heard my master’s weak voice, followed by a sound of blood spurting.
Although my body was still calmly and precisely stepping on the steps, this time the will of Chen Chengyi was exceptionally strong. I must have turned my head to take a look at the situation on the side of the master, and just saw the scene of the master’s body falling while sitting in meditation… and the afterimage of the soul barrier was still there. I saw it expanded to the extreme, flying in the air along with the fragments of the spear, just like a picture that was frozen in time.
“To complete the last task is to live up to expectations. Where did all these useless emotions come from?” A cold voice in my heart resisted my own emotions, instantly pulling me back from this frozen picture to reality.
This is the emotion of the completely rational me from my past life, suppressing my worries and sadness.
Amidst the countless fragments of soul power that were flying about, the god was walking towards me, with the unyielding river of fate behind him. The sound of the flowing water was the only background sound in the quiet silence at this time.
“Finally, you still lost. Should I call you Chen Chengyi or Daotongzi?” The god’s footsteps were fast, and in a blink of an eye, he was five meters away from me.
At this moment, I just happened to fall down one step at a time. Strictly speaking, I had not completed this set of steps. I did not know what kind of pressure I would have to bear if I continued, because the power of the thunder and lightning gathered by the formation at this moment was already terrifying. The power of heaven and earth that I had summoned was simply not enough to completely suppress it. I had to summon more power of heaven and earth… This was already a category that exceeded the limits, a category that could not be tolerated by any trickery.
“Hey…” a sigh came from my throat.
At this moment, the river of fate behind the god was constantly churning, and the power was gathering, firmly wrapping him layer after layer.
As for his fingertips, a dark halo of light appeared at this moment. He smiled proudly and said, “I haven’t used this move, which is also my last move, but I’ll give it to you. This is to avoid complications. After all, Daotongzi is terrifying, isn’t it?”
Apart from that sigh of regret, I couldn’t fathom what was going on in my mind at the moment. I just felt my body pulsing. As the god was doing all this, I took two more steps against the pressure.
“This body is already weak, and it has been squeezed so many times in this battle. It is the limit.” Still without any thoughts of sorrow or joy, I precisely calculated everything. When I said that it was the limit, I could strongly feel that taking one more step would be a disaster.
“Hey…” Another sigh, this time from Lin Xiaohua, who had been standing still in the distance. Her sigh was full of regret, but in the end she didn’t say anything, didn’t even move, but her eyes were sad, as if she were seeing me off.
The god simply ignored all of this. At the moment he raised his hand, the black hole suddenly expanded… I felt myself passing away… passing away quickly. The only thing I could concretely feel was my body, that feeling of rapid desiccation.
What kind of move is this? Haven’t I done this before? Extracting the man in the green robe, extracting the man in the gray robe? Why would the god say that this is a move he has never used?
But the next moment, ‘I’ answered for myself. All of God’s devouring can only be done through the river of fate. If the other party is strong, the river of fate may not be able to devour the other party’s power. It is like the man in the green robe on this platform, which is already the limit of the river of fate’s devouring. Unless something is sacrificed, it can devour a being that is close to or even similar to itself, just like the time before when it devoured the guy in the ghost fight bay.
However, the god is now directly devouring me… Passing through the stone of the heavenly pattern, this kind of devouring is much more stable than the river of fate, and it can even devour something stronger than itself at a cost. The disadvantage is that the power of the devouring will dissipate and will not be used by him.
It makes sense to think about all this. If the river of destiny had no limits, the god would really be a god who could do anything. At least in this place, he would not stand by and watch his “food” being robbed by the “natives” here.
Before, when faced with Master Hui and others, or even Master, or the Heaven and Earth Yubu, God did not use this move, but used it on me. The reason is no more than two: first, he really may have reached his limit and did not want to cause any more problems. Second, he attached the highest importance to the identity of Tao Tongzi.
Or, there is another reason, that is, he thought that the dust had settled, and used the most powerful move to end it all.
In the process of being swallowed, I couldn’t feel the passage of time, but I felt that aging was an instantaneous thing. I could see my hands gradually losing the elasticity unique to youth, becoming dry, rough, and old… This was definitely not a pleasant experience. I wasn’t afraid because, with two wills in one body, what else was there to be afraid of?
However, I was just strongly unwilling. Having come to this point, will the final outcome be that I will be reduced to ashes and disappear? Where is the justice of the natural order of things?
“Our appearance is the way of heaven! Your understanding of the way is too shallow. Don’t you understand that the way of heaven does not interfere, it only arranges fate. Methodical and interlocking, our appearance is the way of heaven. I am looking forward to this last hand gesture.” As I lamented the injustice of fate, my body, which had begun to age rapidly, finally moved.
It wasn’t fast, but I looked at the gods with a calm expression and began to move my fingers to perform the hand gestures.
Our existence is the way of heaven? In other words, everyone’s existence is the way of heaven, because the responsibility on you, the responsibility of a lifetime, and the responsibility that can only be completed by oneself, cannot be delegated to others, nor can one complain about the unfairness of the way of heaven.
For example, in a person’s life, some people have to bear great responsibilities, while others have to bear their own filial piety and raise their children… This is the true way of heaven, which is actually just orderly and interlocking.
I said, why is our family so helpless? Originally, this is just the responsibility that the heavens have arranged for us. In other words, how can it be called helpless? For example, can my parents be filial to others?
What a good Taoist disciple… his words are profound and can be compared to those of a master.
At this point, I also realized that the incomplete technique did not allow me to react instantly. After all, I had to completely control the power of heaven and earth and ensure that the power of the wild lightning was released in an instant in order to perform the final hand gesture of releasing the thunder.
This is a risk, but it is also the most correct solution. Even Tao Tongzi cannot complete such a spell, because it is my body that is being used!
“It’s over.”
“It’s over.”
Almost at the same time, I and the god both said this sentence. When the god said this sentence, the black hole at the tip of his finger instantly expanded to its maximum size, and I felt my soul being sucked out.
When I said this, I was full of admiration, and the only sound that echoed in my mind was that there was such a person in the world who could inherit such a magical and exquisite technique!
The hand gestures were withdrawn… The surging power of heaven and earth exploded in an instant, like a long-buried bomb that had finally detonated. Then, as the smoke and dust dispersed, there was a second of stasis between heaven and earth, including the black hole of the god.
The thunder roared, more thunderous than the Ten-Direction Thunder Array!
At this moment, the world is resplendent!
