From the end of the world

Chapter 309: Navy Xuanwu Completely Released
What I felt from the water master Xuanwu should be the burning of his soul, the flames he suffered from the failure to assassinate Xuanming in the past. He must have done countless things to deal with it, but Xuanming's flames still entangled in his wounds and could not be extinguished.

What I am deeply afraid of is the trick that he used in the assassination of Xuan Ming, which was rumored to be enough to kill Da Wuchang.

Could it be that he was able to cause harm to Xuanming by relying on attribute restraint? I think that possibility basically does not exist. Regardless of whether Xuanming's flames will be restrained as strongly as he restrained my flames, based on my past experience with life turbidity, the power of the Great Impermanence cannot be overcome by him relying on attribute restraint.

Assuming that Mingzhu also has the same "fire attribute" as me, if Water Master Xuanwu uses his current power to attack Mingzhu, or even increases Water Master Xuanwu's current power several times, the outcome will be the same as when I attacked Mingzhu before, and it will not cause any significant damage to it.

The fancy restraint relationships, or the special abilities that sound profound and mysterious, are meaningless to the Great Impermanence. The Water Master Xuanwu must have a super trick that is truly enough to enter the realm of the Great Impermanence in order to kill the Great Impermanence.

I tried to harness the remaining flame of enlightenment within his soul.

If I can manipulate him, it means I can attack him directly from the inside. This is enough to turn the tide and establish my victory in a short time.

But I soon gave up, not because I felt that this approach would undermine the dignity of the battle.

Admittedly, I also have ambitions, and relying on Xuanming's "off-field assistance" to achieve victory is somewhat unfair. But I am not a "proud warrior", and I am definitely not so hypocritical as to give up the winning strategy I found on the battlefield because of this.

Just like I would feel that my overpowered superpowers could damage my adventure experience, and I would be happy if my superpowers were unexpectedly restricted, but I would never deliberately not use my superpowers when they were still usable, and I would not simulate the situation of being restricted when I had nothing to do. What I pursue is the experience of using all means to solve problems under difficult and desperate situations, so even if I feel it is not decent, I will never leave the ready-made means unused.

The reason I gave up this approach is because I couldn't control the Fire of Declaring Enlightenment.

This was another "first time". It was the first time since I got my superpowers that I couldn't control the flames. The flames of enlightenment seemed to be in a different dimension from mine. No matter how hard I concentrated, I couldn't interfere. It was probably because the flames were at a higher level than I was now.

It makes sense. If I can control Xuanming's fire at will, doesn't it mean that if Xuanming attacks me in the future, I can also control his fire in return?

Of course, the flame was now ownerless, and the control conditions were probably much more relaxed than when Xuan Ming was present, but even so, I was still not qualified to attack the flame. The flame seemed to be showing an unruly attitude, suggesting that even if Xuan Ming was not present, it was not something I could control now.

But... it's a bit strange. Even the wound of the water master Xuanwu has flames left in it. It is said that even Mingzhuo's body and mind are being burned by the Xuanming Fire. As for the burns on Ma Zao's soul, I could only feel the trauma in the past, and I couldn't detect the remaining flames no matter what.

Is it because the nature of Xuanming's flames changed during the Great Impermanence and Great Demon periods? Or is it because Ma Zao's power of return is more subtle than the water power of the Water Master Xuanwu, and can even do things that Mingzhuo can't do?
Or maybe... the demon of disaster who burned and numb Zao was not Xuan Ming at all?
After shifting my attention away from the Fire of Announcement, I burst into flames again. This time, I spread my sea of ​​fire on a large scale, covering the entire mountainside of Yueyin Mountain. Since the opponent's spreading water power would delay my flame transmission, I turned the battlefield itself into a sea of ​​fire and placed myself in it, establishing a "wired connection" with the sea of ​​fire. In this way, I can freely change my position in the sea of ​​fire.

At the same time, I can also burn the natural environment of Yueyin Mountain to increase new flames, and then absorb these flames to restore my own strength. What Shuishi Xuanwu said before was right. Even I can't regenerate and revive infinitely. But as long as there is a continuous injection of external flames, I can get more regeneration times than I can count.

However, I still can't do anything to the water master Xuanwu, and I can't break through the defense circle he formed with the black water flow. Both the attack and defense power here are overwhelmed by the other side. I must find a way to reverse the situation as soon as possible, otherwise he will notice my rapid growth in the battle.

I didn't have a good way to deal with the ultimate move he might use later, so I could only try to dodge it. I knew his ultimate move would definitely not be so easy to dodge, or he would definitely choose a time when I couldn't dodge it, but I didn't have a better solution.

The navy Xuanwu didn't just stand there and watch. In fact, apart from the difference in strength attributes, our fighting ideas are very similar in many aspects. When I spread the sea of ​​fire, he also summoned a huge tsunami-like water flow, turning the mountainside of Yueyin Mountain into a swamp in one breath.

The water that appeared out of nowhere rushed down the mountain under the force of gravity, causing a large-scale mudslide disaster on the mountain.

The raging of water and fire completely destroyed the natural ecology of the mountains. The forests turned into lake swamps boiled by flames. At the same time, a large amount of water flow also divided my sea of ​​​​fire.

I didn't have time to think about issues related to protecting the natural environment. I was completely focused on finding a way out of the impasse - the first thing that came to my mind was "refining equipment".

The alchemy talent of the water master Xuanwu was not developed by breaking the mechanism of the mountain Liangyi ritual, but was inherent in the Xuanwu seed. This really surprised me. However, since he can increase his combat power through the inner alchemy technique, can I also strengthen my combat power through the weapon refining talent? For example... regard my soul itself as a weapon, and then refine and enhance it?
This idea is the easiest to think of, but I don't know if it is feasible. However, taking a step back, I haven't even figured out the most basic ability to refine other people's souls, let alone refine and strengthen myself.

More than a dozen black water cannons were fired from the Navy Xuanwu and its clones. I dodged them like before, and fired flame cannons to try to offset one of the black water cannons that I couldn't avoid. This time, through the feedback from my hands, I got confirmation - my strength had been increased in the battle to the point where I could barely fight and neutralize the black water cannons of the Navy Xuanwu despite the attribute restraint relationship.

The balance of the situation became less tilted towards the navy Xuanwu.

However, it was still far from enough to achieve victory. I could only fire one flame cannon at a time with all my strength, while the opponent could fire more than a dozen at the same time with the "golden elixir" in his body. In addition, he also had the hidden trick of the Great Impermanence Realm... Perhaps I should try to hide the evolution of my power and delay until the moment when I really have a chance of winning.

With this in mind, I pretended to be unable to counteract his black water cannon, allowing my body to be defeated and severely damaged once again, and then used the surrounding sea of ​​fire to regenerate at an accelerated speed.

Unfortunately, no matter how brilliant the acting was, it would be difficult to conceal it under the insight of the navy master Xuanwu. As expected, the situation evolved in the worst direction.

Navy Master Xuanwu suddenly frowned.

"...your strength suddenly increased significantly... No, that's not the case... I see!" He then revealed an expression of disbelief, "So you don't have some strength left, but you evolved at a high speed during the battle?

"How is this possible? Could it be that my knowledge is wrong? The power corresponding to the Vermillion Bird Seed is not to refine weapons, but to become stronger with more battles? But even Shan Liangyi himself does not have such ability. How could you, as the descendant of Liangyi, have it?"

His eyes scanned my whole body, and his eyes kept flashing, as if he was searching for the most likely answer with his eyesight and intuition.

“Could it be that… this is not some special ability, but simply because your potential is extremely deep and is now being released step by step?” He has such a poor observation ability that he could see through it to this extent!
I tried to make a final struggle.

"I didn't expect you to see through my acting skills, but you overestimate me. Actually..."

Before I could finish my words, the navy Xuanwu suddenly shouted, "In this case, I must fight quickly and use my strongest attack!

"It's really a changing world. Zhuang Cheng, I admit that I underestimated you before. A lion will fight a rabbit with all its might - I said that at the beginning, but I was still hiding it and didn't immediately use my most powerful trick...

"I was careless, but it's not too late. I will no longer underestimate you. Instead, I will treat you as an enemy of the Great Impermanence level... Take it!"

As he spoke, he cancelled all his clones, flew rapidly to a high altitude, and raised his right arm high.

And in my perception, the "golden elixir" inside his soul disappeared, and then appeared in the palm of his right hand, and was held high up by him.

An indescribable aura like the abyss swept in all directions, even the huge sea of ​​fire was swept away, leaving only countless broken sparks and red-hot black charcoal scattered everywhere.

"This is my 'Inner Pill', which contains hundreds or thousands of times more mana than my own. This amount of mana is beyond my control, and even I, the master, cannot fully control it. I can only transfer the power inside to the outside world bit by bit." Water Master Xuanwu said condescendingly, "And only under one condition can I completely release all the power inside it."

He clenched his right hand violently, and the inner elixir was shattered on the spot.

An extremely deep, pitch-black magical light burst out from the clenched fist of his right hand.

In ancient times, the color that represented water was black. It is said that the dragon robe of the First Emperor was black, symbolizing the virtue of water. In some historical periods, black was also called Xuanse, which originated from Xuanwu. The original meaning of Xuanwu is Xuanming. Wu and Ming have the same ancient pronunciation, which means "black" and "yin".

Among the four symbols, Xuanwu is the mythical beast closest to death.

He pointed his right fist at me.

"Die, Zhuang Cheng."

The mysterious light turned into overwhelming darkness, rushing towards me with overwhelming force.

I immediately tried to dodge, but almost at the same time, I realized that it was impossible for me to dodge this trick.

It wasn't because the scale of the attack was too huge, nor was it because the speed of the attack was so fast that I couldn't react. If it was an ordinary person's eyesight, they might think that the speed of darkness swallowing them was like pressing the light-off button in the room, but in my opinion, the speed of this darkness was similar to the previous black water cannon. What really made me unable to dodge was because of the attribute restraint.

This is a restraint on the mystical level. Not only will it put me at a disadvantage when the forces conflict, it will also make me destined to be at an absolute disadvantage in all aspects. Previously, the force he used was at the same level as mine, so this restraint was only reflected in the level of attack and defense, but now, this restraint is even reflected in the concept of "hit".

Too much power brought about too much restraint, which led to a fate that would definitely destroy me.

To put it simply, it means "must hit, must pass".

It's not because the Water Master Xuanwu has the ability to "hit and penetrate" that this effect occurs. When the power reaches a certain level, it will show all kinds of magical powers.

There is no doubt that this is the ultimate move in the realm of great impermanence!

I immediately allocated part of my soul to the scattered sparks and embers on the battlefield, and the next moment, the darkness of death swallowed me mercilessly.

The unprecedented crisis has caused an unprecedented surge in the progress of my power liberation.

However, it was even faster than the explosion of power. Before I could even last a ten-thousandth of a second, my fire elemental body was completely destroyed by the darkness, and my soul was crushed and extinguished.

Not only that, even the souls that I quickly distributed to the distance and seemed to be unaffected were extinguished along with their sparks and embers. With such a strong power and restraint, the darkness was like an unreasonable curse, completely destroying all my body and soul.

This huge dark force continued to destroy everything along the way. Just like using a high-pressure water gun to blast a sand castle built by a child, half of Yueyin Mountain was directly shattered by the overwhelming dark power.

And somehow, I can still see all of this.

I don't seem to be dead yet.
