From the end of the world

Chapter 440 VS Taoyuan Village Lord Incarnation 1
Although I had previously judged that "Xanadu" itself was probably not dangerous to me, this was after all the heart of Taoyuan Township and the top priority of Taoyuan Township's future vision. I was not so careless as to think that I could act like I was entering my own home. I would most likely encounter threats other than these. The easiest thing to think of was the powerful guards stationed here.

I am well aware that my rash invasion of this place was an impulsive choice, but I took the risk with this in mind.

The giant hand with a green glow in front of me was obviously the incarnation of the Taoyuan Township Lord set up in the "Paradise" isolation zone to stop invading enemies like me. I once met him in the battle of the Humanitarian Division's headquarters, and killed Ying Lingyun from his hands, and then was almost hit by his attack. If Fa Zheng, Shen Zhao, and Ming Zhuo hadn't attacked at the same time, I would have been overwhelmed soon.

Now I can only face this powerful enemy alone. It seems that this is the bitter fruit I must swallow for my impulsive decision. However, I can't seem to digest this lesson.

Facing an enemy that I had been powerless against, this scene filled me with fear and excitement. Perhaps I was looking forward to this, looking forward to confronting the dangerous Taoyuan Village Lord again when invading "Xiaoyuan".

By the way, I also confirmed whether my escape route was still available. I don't know if I should say this is good news, but now I am obviously trapped in a locked state and cannot use fire to teleport out of this "paradise" isolation zone. Fighting is imperative.

The incarnation of the Taoyuan Village Lord in the shape of a giant hand stretched out his five fingers, and then suddenly clenched them. In an instant, a blue thunderstorm descended on the area where I was. I immediately took evasive action. Thousands of thunderbolts fell like heavy rain, and the building rubble that fell like a waterfall around me evaporated on the spot in the light of destruction.

Among the seemingly impenetrable thunder, there were gaps that were barely enough to penetrate. I walked through them dangerously and avoided the blows as if by a miracle.

However, whether these gaps and flaws can be found by others, or even whether they exist objectively, are all very questionable. Although it seems a bit contradictory to talk about objective existence in the spiritual space of the "Utopia" isolation zone, maybe even the incarnation of the Taoyuan Township Lord himself does not know that there are these gaps and flaws in his attacks.

At the level of Great Impermanence, whether or not one can dodge the opponent's attack no longer depends on speed and reaction, the frequency of the opponent's attack, and other factors, but has entered a more mysterious realm. Luck, cause and effect, logic... Demon hunters at the Great Perfection level can already initially interfere with these factors to determine whether they can hit the opponent or whether they will be hit by the opponent, and Great Impermanence will only use them more deeply.

Zhu Shi's "Buzhou Mountain" can forcibly "find" flaws in the enemy that may not have existed originally. This flaw may be a flaw in attributes or a flaw in skills, and this ability itself is a simplified version of the power of great impermanence. Now I can also do something similar, and can forcibly "find" gaps that are enough to hide in a saturation attack that originally did not have gaps.

At the same time, combining the experience of last contact and this observation, I have more or less judged the level of this incarnation of the Lord of Taoyuan.

The opponent's actual strength should be on par with Ming Zhu. The incarnation alone is at this level, and the main body is likely to be at least at Xuanming's level.

As for whether the opponent is the descendant of Qinglong, I still can't figure it out. Maybe it's because in the five elements, there is no restraint relationship between fire and wood, so I can't easily judge whether the opponent is the descendant of Liangyi by the restraint relationship like I did when fighting with the water master Xuanwu.

But as far as I know, although there is no mutual restraint relationship between fire and wood, there is a mutual generation relationship. Specifically, wood can give birth to fire. I don't know how the power of the two yin and yang descendants will change according to the mutual generation relationship when they come into contact. Does it mean that a simple collision will not cause a change in the nature of mutual generation?
Or was it my wishful thinking that the Taoyuan Township Lord was not the descendant of the Azure Dragon? In fact, from the opponent's attack method, there was no evidence of the "wood and cultivation power" that the descendant of the Azure Dragon should have. He only displayed the boundless destructive lightning.

However, this alone is not enough to prove that the other party is not a descendant of Qinglong, but it increases suspicion. Because in the traditional theory of the Four Symbols and Five Elements, thunder is the power of wood.

Perhaps many people's impression of the violent and high-temperature "thunder" is more inclined to the destructive "fire", but in ancient times, thunder often appeared with rain, and often struck trees. It was regarded as a symbol of "the power of inspiration and growth", and "thunder-struck wood" was also a very classic material that was considered to have sacred and evil-repelling properties.

As his mind raced, the Taoyuan Village Lord's incarnation released his second attack. This time, he did not unleash a thunderstorm of thousands of thunderbolts, but gathered countless thunderbolts into one point, turning it into a huge thunderbolt that fell from the sky, with a width that was enough to cover an entire street.

Not only that, there was a force directly binding my body. It was as if the space around me was strengthened and solidified, and even moving my hands and feet was extremely difficult, let alone making an evasive move.

This is the power he used on me last time, and this time there is no one around to help me.

Fortunately, I no longer need anyone else to intervene in this battle, and I can use my trump card to counterattack in desperate situations.

The slag weapon in the form of a straight sword appeared in my hand. As soon as it appeared, the power of the surrounding solidified space retreated as if it was touched by a branding iron and was shocked and frightened. I held the slag straight sword and aimed it upwards. I didn't even need to make a special move to chop hard. The lightning that fell like a river of light was split by the sword blade. Seeing this scene, the Taoyuan Village Lord incarnation paused slightly as if he was surprised.

Spots of burnt red appeared on the surface of the slag sword, reminiscent of coal slowly releasing heat to the outside world.

Over the past period of time, I have sealed countless flames in the Slag Straight Sword. Although it is black and invisible, it contains enough power to destroy Luoshan Headquarters. I have given the internal flames the preset instructions to contain themselves as much as possible, but it is still not perfect. The burnt red blocks dotted on the black sword are proof that the power is leaking out uncontrollably.

And it is precisely because of such a huge amount of heat concentrated in one place that this sword has become a terrifying weapon that is enough to destroy everything with just a simple touch. Even such an exaggerated lightning bolt would be vulnerable once it comes into contact with it.

Unfortunately, this kind of mana condensation that is compressed for the sake of compression still has huge flaws when it comes to killing the soul of the Great Impermanence. If I want to add my own killing intent to it later, it will be diluted without a trace in the blink of an eye. In the end, I still have to release the internal flames step by step to kill the enemy.

Even so, I, who have the Slag Straight Sword, am far superior to myself without it.

The Taoyuan Village Lord incarnation changed his attack method again. He emitted a huge lightning beam from his palm, and the beam spread out in the air. Countless lightning seemed to have their own will, and could surround and besiege me from all directions.

While dodging the pursuit, I swung the Slag Straight Sword to split and eliminate the lightning strikes that I could not avoid, and at the same time moved towards the incarnation of the Taoyuan Village Lord.

"Aren't you going to use your real body?" I asked.

Even if I was only fighting the incarnation, the real body of Taoyuan Township Lord must have been aware of my invasion, but he did not come in person. If it is defined as neglect, then it is too much to underestimate Taoyuan Township Lord. Last time he did this in the battle of the Humane Division's headquarters, it could be explained as not wanting to fight multiple Luoshan Dawuchang at the same time. This time it is the same. Is there some reason why he can't come in person?

If I were to fight this incarnation alone, I wouldn't say I was certain to win, but it wasn't hopeless. It was good news that his real body wouldn't come, but it also made me feel a little disappointed.

In addition, I also noticed another thing, that is, the owner of Taoyuan Village probably didn’t know that I was the so-called innate spiritual manifestation.

Thinking about it carefully, although many people know that I can transform into an element, it seems that only the people around me and a few people who have fought with me can really confirm that I am a congenital spirit. The old boxing god seems to have found out from somewhere that I am a spirit, but the Taoyuan Township Lord does not seem to have such a channel.

For example, it is difficult for me to kill the Great Impermanence directly with the Slag Straight Sword. If the enemy does not inject the consciousness of "attacking the opponent's true spirit" into the attack, his attack will hardly be effective against me.

This seems to be something that can be used. However, just like how Mingzhu discovered my characteristics by "killing" me once, this information gap probably can't be used repeatedly. I have to be careful about the timing of my move.

The incarnation of the Taoyuan Lord in the form of a giant hand did not respond to my question. I don't think he can't speak, because he did say my name at the beginning.

So I asked the question again: "Are you Shan Liangyi?"

This time, he spoke, but his answer was irrelevant to the question.
"Zhuang Cheng... the descendant of Suzaku." He said to himself, "Although I don't plan to harvest your Suzaku seeds right now, but since you have offered yourself to me... then don't blame me for being rude."
