From the end of the world

Chapter 311 The Power of Impermanence 1
The water master Xuanwu actually has a second "golden elixir", and can even recover the Xuanming magic power that he had released before!
This recycling seems to be based on the condition that he still has a spare "Golden Pill". I can see that he is not controlling these mana by himself, but must use the "Golden Pill" as a "device" to issue simple commands to so many mysterious mana.

Presumably, the "Golden Pill" was not something he could easily refine. He must have spent a lot of time conserving and compressing his mana into it. Judging from the fact that the quality of the second "Golden Pill" was far inferior to the first one when it was first taken out, he probably couldn't take out the third "Golden Pill".

I thought that the fact that he could perform the ultimate move of the Great Impermanence Realm once was already amazing enough, but he clearly still had some strength left. It was unprecedented that a Great Perfection Rank could actually achieve this level.

Seeing this, I stopped observing and summoned flames from the empty wasteland, and condensed them into my own human form.

Not only the fire elemental body, but also the soul has been condensed. My fire is my spirit. From this perspective, what I am doing now is creating my own soul from scratch.

Even if my soul is completely destroyed, I still won’t die. I don’t know how far I have to go before I die. On the other hand, I can still maintain my self even though I lose my body and soul at the same time. Although I don’t understand what this is, one thing is very clear, that is, I must be relying on super powers to maintain myself. In other words, my self is unprecedentedly closely integrated with super powers.

The fact that all my powers have been liberated may have something to do with this. Not only that, I also feel that my control over my powers has become much smoother than before. It's not that the power's response speed has become faster, but it's a very wonderful experience. It's like I used to say "my flame is my spirit", but in fact I just treated my superpowers as something outside of myself, but now I can truly become one with them.

However, I don’t feel like I have reached a new peak. It’s more like I have finally jumped out of a well and arrived at a new realm where the sky is high and the earth is vast.

In my mind, I compared myself to the Great Wuchang I had met, Xuanming, Shenzhao, Gua Tianshi, and Mingzhuo, with whom I had a brief "confrontation"...

I am very sure that I have now truly stepped into the realm of great impermanence.

As evidence, I now seem to be able to manipulate the Xuanming Fire that remains in the soul of the Water Master Xuanwu. Of course, I don't intend to do that. Rather than relying on the power left by Xuanming in the past, I want to try my new power.

I condensed my body and soul in front of the water master Xuanwu. As soon as the fire appeared, he retreated to a distance as if he had been electrocuted, and a creepy expression appeared on his face, just like an ordinary person seeing a corpse moving.

Although there are many strange things in the weird world, it is obviously beyond his acceptance that I can be resurrected safely. I guess he is absolutely confident in his ultimate move just now. In fact, the ultimate move just now is really possible to kill me - this is my judgment from the perspective of becoming the Great Impermanence.

A sufficiently powerful force can distort all reason. His ultimate move just now reached such a high level. Even if he had not imagined that I could survive after my body and soul were destroyed, he could not understand the concept of being able to maintain myself by heat alone. As long as there was a self-disciplined and clear killing will in that dark and mysterious power, I would definitely die next. The reason why he still did not kill me was because he could not fully control that power.

Because he injected the killing intent into a huge power that was not commensurate with his own, the killing intent was diluted. This was the disadvantage of him trying to manipulate the power of the Great Impermanence even though he was not the Great Impermanence. He just threw the mass of power over, and most of the power was released in places that deviated from the main purpose. He was able to recover it afterwards, probably partly because of this.

However, he was not an ordinary man after all. The moment he realized that I was not dead, his eyes suddenly became very determined.

"Really? You actually..." He revealed a desperate mood, "In that case——"

As he spoke, he crushed the "golden elixir" in his hand again.

The deep and profound light reappeared in his hand and he pointed it at me.

Maybe he understood what my resurrection meant, and even saw that I had become the Great Impermanence, but it was too late for him to escape now, as my perception had completely locked onto him. Even if he really wanted to escape, he would have to at least consume the "golden elixir" to slightly restrain my movements and attention.

The black light burst out again, covering the sky and sweeping towards me.

I had a sense of danger in my heart. Different from the special move just now, although it looked like the same move, the Water Master Xuanwu seemed to have changed his attack mode. There really was something threatening to my ego. As expected of a character who dared to assassinate the Great Impermanence, he could still give me a new surprise at this point.

At the same time, I launched my own attack.

There was no fancy tricks, just concentrated the flames in the palm of his hand, and then turned it into a fire cannon as thick as a train and fired it out. It was exactly the same move as before, but under the higher level of magic power, it showed extremely terrifying destructive power. This attack could destroy the mountains just like the water master Xuanwu just now.

I had no intention of showing any mercy. This was my full-strength attack. In terms of total power alone, it was on par with the ultimate move of the Water Master Xuanwu. The latter's dark Xuanming magic had the ability to completely restrain my water attribute, but the disadvantage was that he could not control it, while I could completely control my own power. What would be the result of the collision between the two? The answer was revealed in the next moment.

The flame cannon crushed the dark mysterious power with overwhelming force, and immediately devoured the navy Xuanwu behind it, and at the same time crashed into the half-destroyed Yueyin Mountain. This time the mountain was not broken into pieces. The seemingly spectacular power display of the dark mysterious power was just a waste of the aftermath caused by the inability to gather power. My flame cannon pierced through the half-destroyed mountain like a red-hot iron needle piercing black tofu.

After the light disappeared, the water master Xuanwu disappeared like a drop of water evaporating instantly in a fire.

There is no way he could have survived the blow just now. If he was intact, he might have been able to escape. After all, even Xuan Ming couldn't keep him, so I probably couldn't do it either. But he doesn't have that kind of capital now. With his scarred soul, there is no possibility for him to escape from the blow like he did when facing Xuan Ming.

Unfortunately, since he is dead, there is no way for me to get the Shengui Lingdan from him anymore.

Don't be attached to things that you don't have any hope for. I'll find other ways to heal Ma Zao's soul later. Now I'm already in the state of impermanence, maybe I can do something. And on second thought, losing the possibility of getting the Shengui Lingdan may not be a bad thing - although according to the prediction of Gua Tianshi, "giving up the Shengui Lingdan" may not mean "saving Chang'an", but by eliminating the possibility of the former, maybe my luck will be concentrated on the latter.

This is more like superstition than speculation, but now I have decided to believe in this superstition.

I moved towards the top of the mountain.

My initial plan was to severely injure the Water Master Xuanwu first, and then use the fake Water Moon to investigate his consciousness and see how he planned to break through the fog and find the Silver Moon. However, just like I couldn't get the Shengui Lingdan, this thing also became impossible. Fortunately, I didn't need to worry about his plan anymore.

Now I can vaguely sense that there is another aura of the Great Perfection level that is completely different from the Water Master Xuanwu, but almost equally powerful, entrenched on the top of the half-ruined Yueyin Mountain - that is the aura of Yin Yue.

The fog was torn apart during the destruction of Yueyin Mountain, but now it is closing up at a speed visible to the naked eye. Perhaps the Water Master Xuanwu intended to use brute force to break the fog from the beginning. Now I can do the same thing, but there is no need. The Great Perfection Level Law of Heaven and Earth cannot stop the Great Impermanence, nor can it stop me.

I just kept moving forward in the direction I sensed. Last time, I was sure to get lost at some point, but now I didn't have to worry about that at all. I shuttled through the mist, constantly closing the distance between me and the breath of the silver moon. Soon, I reached the top of the mountain.

There was an open space on the top of the mountain that was not covered by fog, which was a good place to enjoy the moon. I looked around, looking for traces of the silver moon. Then, driven by intuition, I looked at the moon in the sky.

At some point, where the moon was supposed to be, a moon-white light cocoon large enough to wrap a human body replaced the moon. And if you look closely, the light cocoon is not that high from the ground. It's as if the moonlight cocoon has been hanging there from the beginning, and it's just a visual illusion that makes people mistake it for the moon.

The moment I noticed the moonlight cocoon, it slowly descended and then shattered into countless light powders only a few meters above the ground.

A silver moon emerged from it.

At first, she closed her eyes and curled up her body, like a fetus in her mother's womb, sleeping. Then, she slowly opened her eyes, stretched out her limbs, and stood suspended in the air.

She lowered her head and looked down at me who was standing on the ground.

"You're late... Zhuang Cheng." She said calmly, "I have completely repaired the burn you caused last time, and now I'm in great shape.

"And the power I can exert in Yueyin Mountain is far beyond the reach of a great master demon hunter like you. You... hm?"

As she spoke, she noticed that something was wrong around her. She looked carefully at the half-destroyed Yueyin Mountain and fell into a brief silence.

"...What happened to Yueyin Mountain?" she asked blankly.
