From the end of the world

Chapter 252 VS Great Impermanence 2
In some myths and beliefs, as long as you say the name of the god you worship, you can get the protection of his power. From another perspective, it can also be explained that the god can pay attention to the person who says his name and invest his power in him.

Since Da Wuchang is regarded as a god-like existence, he may also have the same mysterious power - when the information related to himself is touched, he will generate a power of induction.

It is a taboo to rashly explore the secrets of the gods. It is undoubtedly a taboo to investigate the actions of the Great Impermanence behind the God Gun. This also means that there is really information related to the Great Impermanence behind the God Gun in the head, otherwise the other party would not appear at this time. And now, we must pay the price.

We are about to face the power of uncertainty.

The blurry face that appeared in the mosaic information torrent looked at us coldly, then focused its gaze on my face and read out a name: "-Xuan Ming?"

"No, you are not Xuan Ming..." He continued to deny it, and then seemed to understand my identity, "I see, you are the kid who killed the magic gun not long ago, so the person next to you is the one who came back from the dead..."

"You must be the Great Impermanence who commands the magic gun," I said.

He seemed to not hear me, and continued speaking as he pleased: "—I don't need you. The girl stays, and you die here."

The moment he issued the death sentence, the one who took the first step was not him, nor me, but Ma Zao.

A violent fluctuation of mana suddenly erupted from Ma Zao's body. This was the power of return. The dream we were in suddenly became blurry, and a sense of detachment surged in my heart. I immediately realized what she was doing. She was using the power of return to relieve our dreaming state and log us out of this dream.

Almost at the same time, the dream became clear again, even clearer than before. Ma Zao's power of returning only had time to start before it disappeared completely. It was obvious that the blurred face did something to prevent Ma Zao from logging out. Ma Zao showed a horrified reaction.

"I have taken over this dream. You cannot escape."

The tone of the blurred face did not give people a sense of speed, but paradoxically, the information seemed to appear in our minds instantly and completely, like a kind of thought transmission. While Ma Zao was making movements and talking to the blurred face, I also made my own attacking movements.

I should have attacked faster, but if possible, I still hope to retreat first as Ma Zao hoped. It is shameful to run away from the enemy that I have been pursuing for a long time. In addition, I have taken the initiative to issue a declaration of war to the enemy before, so my cowardly behavior is even more shameful. I clearly said that I would take the initiative to come to the door, and now the enemy has taken the initiative to come to the door, how can I turn around and run away? However, this situation is really terrible.

Not only because Ma Zao was by my side, but also because this place could not be used as a battlefield. This was Ma Zao's spiritual world, the inside of her soul. Going to war with the Great Impermanence in such a place would be tantamount to sending Ma Zao to her death.

However, if I do nothing, it would be suicidal. I will be killed, and Ma Zao will be taken away and die. I can't just sit there and wait for death. Instead of doing that, I might as well give it a try. Thinking of this, I gritted my teeth and released a huge amount of flames in one breath, and then gathered it into a condensed flame cannon and shot it at the blurred face.

The power of this flaming laser cannon completely surpassed the one that defeated Yin Yue last time. Even if it collided with the magic gun's "must hit, must kill" ultimate move, the latter would not be able to penetrate it. The magic gun and its weapons would only be destroyed before they could do so. Chen Long, who was wearing the "portal armor", would die if he came into contact with it.

However, my flames will not harm my own people, so there should be no problem using them inside Ma Zao's soul. If I can use this attack to destroy the blurred face before it makes any move, it would be the most ideal result.

This should not be hopeless. The blurred face in front of me is obviously not the real Great Impermanence, but just a temporary image made using the information flood material at the scene. What I need to destroy is not the real body of the Great Impermanence, but just this temporary image. Even if I am not strong enough to compete with the Great Impermanence now, I can't be unable to destroy even something of this level.

It turns out that my idea was too idealistic.

The blurred face just glanced in my direction, and before the flame cannon could hit him, an invisible force appeared out of nowhere, smashing the flame cannon from the front without any ambiguity, and at the same time swept towards my body. In an instant, my body was smashed to pieces, and my soul was like porcelain thrown into a crusher, suffering unimaginable damage.

I immediately realized where this power came from. It was his gaze. The blurred face injected a huge amount of magic power into his gaze, and with just one glance, he seriously injured me.

I can use the same skill, and I used it often in the past. But in a battle of the same level, this little skill is useless. This is a skill I use to deal with the weak, and in a sense, it can be said to be a "quality checker" for the enemy. If the enemy can't even survive this level of skill, it means that they are not on the same level as me. How could I be seriously injured by such a skill?
I am not completely unsure of my current level. I am currently at a level that is above the Great Perfection level but below the Great Impermanence. I am very aware that I will probably lose in a head-on battle. However, in front of the real Great Impermanence, I am so vulnerable.

Fortunately, the counterattack of the blurred face itself did not affect Ma Zao next to him. This gaze attack is also similar to my skill of igniting the enemy with my gaze. It is a "single skill" that only damages the locked target. Maybe he didn't want to kill Ma Zao here immediately, otherwise Lu Youxun and Shenqiang would not just kidnap Ma Zao, but would find a way to execute him on the spot.

However, the shattering and explosion of the fire element's body still produced a violent blast, and the surrounding mosaic information torrent seemed to be strongly disturbed, and scattered like a large amount of paper scraps blown away by the wind. At the same time, the blurred face was also changing further, and the container formed by the mosaic information gradually changed into a humanoid appearance with a torso and limbs. The place that was originally wrapped tightly by the mosaic information torrent also became clear, showing the scene of this dream.

The oppressive night sky like black iron, the dilapidated and withered courtyard, the shadowy buildings in the distance - everything is exposed to our eyes, and of course to the eyes of the vague human figure.

He seemed to be planning to raise his hand to do something to Ma Zao, but after seeing this scene, his whole body suddenly froze and he looked up at the night sky in disbelief.

"This, this place is——"

His voice sounded extremely shaken, confused, and shocked.

I didn't miss this golden opportunity. In an instant, I manipulated the scattered flames to reconstruct my body and quickly repaired my severely damaged soul. At the same time, I raised my arm in the direction of the blurry human figure and fiercely fired a full-strength flame cannon that was even more powerful than before.

It wasn't that I was still holding back, but facing this terrifying enemy that was so powerful that it was far superior to all the enemies in the past combined, my consciousness also felt an unprecedented life-and-death crisis. Driven by the danger, my power, which was in a state of automatic liberation, quickly became stronger, and a desperate light burst out.

My battle strategy remains unchanged. No matter how powerful this Great Impermanence is, he is still using a fragile container formed by a flood of mosaic information. I don't know if it was because he was distracted by the scene of the doomsday era, or he simply couldn't react in time. He didn't have time to parry or evade, and was completely engulfed by the flame cannon.

However, I didn't feel like I had done any harm to the target. He had clearly taken my full-strength desperate attack without any damage, but it was just like he was pushed while standing on the ground in a daze. I couldn't even tell whether the shaking of his body was caused by my strength, or whether his mind was pulled back by the sudden movement and he changed his posture.

And at this moment, Ma Zao made another move—she pressed my shoulders, and the waves of the power of return burst out from her body again.

"Return!" she yelled.

--What?
My vision suddenly changed.

The Great Impermanence, the Doomsday Dream, the Mosaic Information Flood…all of these disappeared, replaced by the rooms of the Fufeng Base.

Ma Zao sat on the bed with the head of the magic gun on her knees. I stood in front of her, holding the fake moon in the water. Everything just now seemed like a false dream, as if nothing had happened.

Of course that was impossible. How could it be so easy to get rid of the invasion of the Great Impermanence? If the Great Impermanence had only invaded some of Ma Zao's belongings, she could have simply abandoned them and escaped, but his power had directly invaded her spiritual world. Now that she had moved back to the real world, the crisis had only become invisible to the naked eye, and the power of the Great Impermanence could still wreak havoc in her soul as usual.

Ma Zao just paused for two or three seconds, then breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's probably safe now," she said.
