From the end of the world

Chapter 520 VS Demon Xuanwu 2
Whether it was a battle I was sure to win or a battle I was sure to lose, I was not interested in battles without suspense. The Great Demon Black Tortoise in front of me was an extremely rare and powerful enemy that made me feel helpless, but it did not make me feel excited or happy.

However, it is not my style to conclude that I cannot overcome difficulties after hitting a wall two or three times. I need to persist for at least a dozen more times to see if I can find clues to solve the problem.

The only consolation for me right now is that this Great Demon Black Tortoise is different from the Water Master Black Tortoise. It doesn't seem to have a "golden elixir" that can further strengthen its power. Although with its current strength to restrain me, it probably won't change anything with or without a golden elixir.

With each battle and move, our location is constantly changing, and the space-time scenes around us are also changing frequently. Sometimes it is a wasteland, sometimes it is a desert, and now it is above the forest. I don't know where the wandering soul and sandalwood have gone, and I don't know how long it will take to reunite with them.

Fortunately, the Wandering Soul and I each hold a blessing lantern. According to the cartographer, the two blessings should be able to attract each other. As long as we are willing to reunite, we can reunite again. In the past, the cartographer used this method to bring Tan Xiang and me back to the safe house.

My body and soul were shattered three more times, and then reunited.

The continuous resurrection seemed to make the Great Demon Xuanwu realize that something was wrong with me. It slowed down its attack slightly, as if it was constantly scanning me with its perception, trying to find out the secret of the enemy's infinite rebirth.

Obviously, even with Xuanwu's absolute restraint on Zhuque, it cannot help it unconditionally kill my true spirit.

I think this is probably because even Shan Liangyi, the source of the Xuanwu power, has not yet comprehended the realm of spiritual manifestation. The element of "true spirit" does not exist in the framework of the Four Symbols and Five Elements system he established; and I, as the descendant of Suzaku, am a congenital spiritualist, which can be said to be beyond the framework of the Four Symbols and Five Elements system. Only this part will not be specifically restrained.

I am not so lucky as to think that this advantage can be maintained from the beginning to the end of this battle. I must find a way to kill the demon Xuanwu within this "safe time" which will never come back once lost.

It may be impossible to do it by relying on your own strength, and you can only rely on some external means.

The first thing that comes to mind is the fragments of the divine seal.

As the thought came to his mind, the power of the divine seal fragment was added to the flame, and the flame underwent slight changes.

The power of the divine seal fragments is definitely beyond the power of the Four Symbols and Five Elements system framework. Unfortunately, with my current use of the power of the divine seal fragments, I can only change the frequency of the mana fluctuations of my flame, but cannot achieve a real qualitative change. There is no other way for the time being, I can only try my best to see if the change in the frequency of mana fluctuations can allow my flame to deceive the restraint relationship of the Four Symbols and Five Elements system framework.

The light of destruction emerged in my palm.

"What about this trick?" I looked at my target.

The flame condensed to the limit turned into a huge, dazzling light cannon, bombarding the head of the Great Demon Xuanwu.

The head made of black water shattered and exploded on the spot.

The results of this attack seemed to be far greater than the previous ones, but I couldn't be happy.

The next moment, the head of the great demon Xuanwu condensed again and became intact as before.

It was now in a form similar to that of an elemental life form. Although it could not be compared to my innate spiritual manifestation realm, which would not be affected even if my soul was shattered, it was useless to just destroy its material container. My attack did not penetrate its soul, just like the power of the fragment of the divine seal only changed the fluctuation of mana, which was a "surface effort". The damage I caused now was also a "surface effort".

It can't be said that it is completely ineffective, but it is only half-effective. Relying on the power of the divine seal fragment to let my flame break free from the restraint of Xuanwu on Zhuque is the right direction in itself, but the compatibility between me and the divine seal fragment is still too poor, and I can't draw out more of its power.

The great demon Xuanwu seemed to be enraged, roaring and manipulating the black water again to shatter my body and soul.

At the same time, it seemed to have divided another part of its attention to scan the deep realm of time and space. I understood what the Great Demon Black Tortoise was scanning. The target was not my true spirit, and searching for time and space was not the correct direction to find the true spirit. Although it may be strange to say this, the mysterious woman still did not leave at this moment. She was lingering "around" our battlefield. The Great Demon Black Tortoise wanted to catch it.

As for why the mysterious woman did not escape from the battlefield where humans and gods were fighting against the great evil dragon, she may have her own considerations, but the biggest reason is probably that she could not escape.

The battlefield between me and the Great Demon Xuanwu seemed to be far away from where we were originally, but the mysterious woman used her special ability to escape to the deep realm outside the physical space at the beginning of the battle. This allowed her to move regardless of the physical distance, but from another perspective, she could not enjoy the benefits brought by the distance of the physical space.

By pulling the battlefield away from the wandering souls and sandalwood, I can prevent them from being involved in the war, but the mysterious woman can't be so convenient. The great demon Xuanwu roughly locked her through his consciousness, and was constantly searching for her in the deep time and space with his magic power. This is like a monarch sending a large army to search for an assassin, and the assassin can't really escape under the restrictions of the encirclement, and will gradually lose room for maneuver as the encirclement shrinks.

Although I couldn't see the mysterious woman's specific state and movements, I could sense with my intuition that she seemed to be planning to do something. However, the Great Demon Xuanwu was able to suppress her and make her unable to move just by relying on his vague mental lock. If my gaze could burn my enemies, then the Great Demon Xuanwu's gaze could create a pressure like the pressure of the deep sea.

Fortunately, he is at the great perfection level. If it were an ordinary demon hunter, he would have been crushed into meat paste by the gaze of the great demon Xuanwu.

Now the Great Demon Black Tortoise is focusing most of its attention on the battle with me. Even so, the mysterious woman has very little time left. This situation makes me a little confused. In the eyes of a monster of the Great Demon Black Tortoise's level, even if it is at the Great Perfection level, it is just a slightly larger bug. It would be a different matter at other times. But now that there is a serious enemy like me in front of it, why would it still divide its attention in other directions?

Is it because in its eyes, I am not worthy of real attention? Or does the mysterious woman actually have some kind of power that makes it look at me differently?
Perhaps the reason why I met the Great Demon Xuanwu here is that there are still some remnants of the power of the jinx in me. However, at the beginning, the prey of the Great Demon Xuanwu was probably not me, but the mysterious woman who was very likely to be closely related to the remnants of Tai Sui and suspected to be Void Realm No. 7.

"Zhuang Cheng, you are no match for it, run away." The mysterious female voice reached my consciousness from the dark.

I used my telepathic skills to respond to the other party: "Are you serious? According to the current momentum, within a minute, you will be retrieved from the deep space-time domain and killed.

"And if I run away, it'll only make things worse for you. It'll focus all its attention on finding you. In five seconds, you'll be dead."

"I have a way to escape the pursuit of the great demon Xuanwu." The mysterious woman actually said this.

"Really? Although I'm curious about how you can save my life from the nose of the devil, I don't plan to run away with my tail between my legs now," I said.

"According to my understanding, you should be the so-called descendant of Liang Yi, and the prototype of the Great Demon Xuanwu is the descendant of Xuanwu among the descendants of Liang Yi. Isn't it because it is your natural enemy that you are in such a difficult situation?" said the mysterious woman, "This battle is overwhelmingly disadvantageous to you. I don't see any hope that you can turn defeat into victory."

As if to verify her words, the Great Demon Xuanwu released another attack, shattering my body and soul once again.

This time, the situation was completely different from the previous ones. I actually felt as if my consciousness was hit hard on the back of my head with a stick. This blow caused effective damage to my true spirit.

Unlike the character Xu Gou who lacks experience in mysticism, the predecessor of the Great Demon Xuanwu is the Water Master Xuanwu who has a deep understanding of mana. Even though he has now fallen into this irrational and crazy form, he still has spiritual intuition and mana manipulation that should not be underestimated.

In fact, the density of its mana was far beyond my normal performance. I don't know if it was because the water master Xuanwu, its predecessor, had undergone enough training after becoming the Great Impermanence, or because it had accumulated hundreds of years of training as a qualified Great Impermanence, it was able to grasp the essence of manipulating power immediately after becoming a god or demon. In any case, it was completely predictable that it could find a way to hurt my true spirit.

However, I hadn't played all the cards on my hand yet. During the game, I found a new way to break the restraint relationship and tried to put it into practice.

After re-condensing my body, I immediately unfolded an endless sea of ​​fire. While burning the land, countless flame forces quickly flowed back and compressed into my hands, and gravity that was enough to distort time and space was also generated.
