From the end of the world

Chapter 561 The Power of the True Spirit
"Is it really just that?" I asked back, "Isn't it because... you are afraid that you will be really killed?"

There was no visibly changing in Huang Quan's expression, but I seemed to be able to grasp the changing mood in his heart at this moment.

Maybe he was not lying, and he was indeed a man who only fought battles that he was sure to win. However, the factors that prompted him to escape now were obviously not only because the situation was not favorable to him, but also because of the power of the fragments of the divine seal that had undergone a qualitative change because of me.

He must be able to understand that the power I am using now can break his immortal body and kill him for sure.

The surrounding scene changed rapidly, and soon I could no longer see the Great Demon of Disaster and the Great Demon Xuanwu. I chased Huang Quan all the way, moving from one area to another, and I didn't know how far I had run.

And the distance between us is becoming shorter and shorter.

It is almost impossible for two human gods of the same level to kill one of them while the other tries to escape. However, our situation is not normal at the moment.

This is the afterlife of time and space chaos. Huang Quan, as a human god who has been here for who knows how long, has a very high understanding of chaotic time and space; and with Xiao Wan's help in the past, I have also been able to adapt to the chaotic time and space. On this basis, I also have Xiao Wan's blessing, which has opened up a huge gap between him and me.

We are now like two soldiers who have fallen into a lake. Although we are both good at swimming, Huang Quan is just an ordinary swimmer, while I am a swimming champion who can win the first prize in sports events. It would be fine if there were other things to interfere, but Huang Quan is still trying to escape from my hands, which is completely a foolish dream.

In a short while, I caught up with Huang Quan and a fireball as big as a house exploded from my hand and shot towards Huang Quan.

Perhaps the timing for delivering the fatal blow was too easy to predict. Huang Quan was well prepared and made a sudden turn in the air to avoid the path of the fireball.

I didn't attack without any thought. Huang Quan may have forgotten one thing, that is, the fire I summoned and manipulated can actually be regarded as myself. And my act of shooting out the big fireball is equivalent to shooting myself out.

I re-condensed my third form of light body in the fireball, and then shot out of the fireball like a shell. Huang Quan turned around in astonishment and quickly flew backwards. However, he was too late to escape.

A high-energy vortex of yellow-black magic power appeared in his palm. Since there was no way to escape, he could only take a gamble and fight me head-on. Although it was different from his usual style, he was about to die, and if he couldn't even show this level of ruthlessness, he would be unworthy of being a god.

However, it turned out that I still underestimated Huang Quan's desire to survive.

Or maybe I was unconsciously judging others by my own experience. If I were Huang Quan, I would have to risk my life at this critical moment. But Huang Quan is not me after all, and he has no intention of risking his life against me. He immediately did something beyond my expectations.

He turned around and smeared the yellow and black high-energy vortex on his face.

With an extremely violent explosion, Huang Quan's head exploded, and his soul was as fleeting as a candle in the wind. I was blown away by the shock wave of the explosion, and for a moment I couldn't believe what I saw.

Huang Quan committed suicide!
I reacted immediately.

Huang Quan has an immortal body, so even if he commits suicide, he won't really die. But if he dies in my hands, he might really die. So he would rather commit suicide than be killed by me.

If it was Mingzhu who committed suicide here, it would be meaningless to do so. Because Mingzhu would be resurrected at the same place after death, I only need to squat beside his "body" to make the final blow. However, Huangquan would be reborn in another unknown place after committing suicide, which can be said to be the ultimate means of escape.

In a sense, maybe this is also an imitation of my previous self-explosion. It really is a matter of time. Is this a kind of "give and take"?

I exited the third form, landed on the ground, and waved my hand. A strong wind blew, and the huge mushroom cloud covering the area disappeared in an instant. Huangquan was completely wiped out, leaving only a barren land.

A few seconds later, two figures appeared beside me - No. 7 brought the small bowl and teleported to my side exhausted.

"You actually forced Huang Quan to commit suicide..."

Number 7 seemed to have observed the battle situation on my side in some way. She looked at the field in shock while panting tiredly, and then looked at me.

"You came out too early, the battle is not over yet," I said.

Number 7's expression changed, and he asked, "Has Huang Quan not left yet?"

"No, Brother Zhuang Cheng should be talking about the Great Demon of Disaster..." Xiao Wan turned her head and looked into the distance. The Great Demon of Disaster seemed to be still being entangled by the Great Demon Xuanwu, and had not yet caught up, but it should arrive soon.

At first I thought that the Great Demon of Disaster could only be used as a temporary buffer barrier to block the Great Demon Xuanwu. Who could have thought that the restraint relationship between the two sides would be the opposite?

Compared to the Great Demon Xuanwu, the Great Demon of Disaster seems to be more interested in me.

Each demon has its own hunting tendency. Just like what Xiaowan said before, the demon of disaster likes to attack the powerful first, and the capable ones who can escape from its hands by their own ability. In other words, it is probably like me, who likes challenges and adventures. Whether it is a battle that is sure to win or a battle that is sure to lose, it is not interested.

Even if it was a demon of the same level as himself, the Great Demon of Disaster would probably not be interested in him at all. And Huang Quan, who could remain transparent in the eyes of the Great Demon, probably never entered the Great Demon of Disaster's field of vision from the beginning. Ever since he found me on the battlefield, the Great Demon of Disaster has locked his consciousness on me.

It might have even forgotten that it had originally rushed to the scene to hunt down Xiaowan.

Until this moment, I can still feel a deep burning murderous intent sticking to me like a shadow. Perhaps this is what Xiaowan felt during that period of time. No matter where I run to, the other party will definitely catch up.

"I need to recover my strength first, and I will leave with the small bowl soon."

As No. 7 spoke, he followed the gazes of Xiaowan and me and looked into the distance, then asked in a complicated tone: "By the way... do you have some kind of connection with the Great Demon of Disaster? Why can you summon it in battle?"

Xiaowan explained it briefly, and No. 7 suddenly understood. I took the opportunity to ask, "Do you have a grudge against the Great Demon of Disaster?"

"Greed...I guess there is a grudge." Number Seven glanced at me.

Xiao Wan looked at No. 7 silently, then turned her gaze back to the field, and asked in confusion: "Why did Huang Quan suddenly commit suicide just now? Even if he couldn't beat Brother Zhuang Cheng, there was no need to do such a thing... Could it be related to the change in the power of the fragment of the divine seal used by Brother Zhuang Cheng?"

“No need to say ‘maybe’, it’s related to the power of Zhuang Cheng’s divine seal fragment.” Number 7 seemed to understand the details of this new power. “I didn’t expect such a result… Maybe this is also a ‘blessing in disguise’.”

"Ms. No. 7, do you know what Brother Zhuang Cheng's new power is? Can you tell us?" Xiaowan asked solemnly.

"There's no need to put on such a begging attitude. Even if you didn't ask, I would have told you. After all, we are now in a battlefield partnership, and this new power will directly affect whether we can really kill that old immortal Huang Quan." Number 7 looked at me, "Zhuang Cheng, if nothing unexpected happens, the new power you have shown after Xiaowan's blessing should be the 'Power of the True Spirit'."

"——The power of the true spirit?" I was surprised.

As the name suggests, the so-called power of the true spirit is the "power of the true spirit."

Combining the records of Luoshan Database and the Great True Spirit Hypothesis, the source of all life souls in the world is the Great True Spirit. In other words, the power of the True Spirit can be regarded as the "most primitive spiritual power." Therefore, in theory, as long as one can thoroughly comprehend and freely manipulate the power of the True Spirit, one can reproduce the power of all souls in the world.

Whether it's the flames of Xuanming and I, or the death magic of Mingzhuo and Huangquan, or any other power of gods and demons, or even everything in the universe...anything that humans can think of or cannot think of can be easily realized. It can be said to be a true omnipotent power.

However, theory is theory. In reality, people who can fully comprehend the power of the true spirit can be equated with "people who have proven their true spirit". Such people do not exist in this world. Even if they exist, they will cease to exist.

The power of the true spirit has a characteristic, that is, this power can produce "real results".

What is the "real result"? There are not many records in Luo Shan's materials, so I can't say that I am particularly clear. Here I can only give some simple examples to try to describe its nature from the side. For example, the wounds caused by the power of the true spirit will become "real injuries" that cannot be healed no matter what means are used; similarly, if a person is killed by the power of the true spirit, it is "real death" and cannot be resurrected no matter what means are used.

——Is this the reason why this power can restrain Huang Quan’s unknown immortal body?

It seems to make sense. If the world we live in is a dream of the Great True Spirit, then everything except the Great True Spirit itself is illusory. Whether it is the magic power used to repair wounds or the immortal body, it is ultimately a fantasy. Once it collides with the "real power", it will only end in negation.

Xiao Wan didn't seem to know what the power of the true spirit meant. I explained it to her and she nodded in understanding. Then she looked at No. 7 and asked in a serious manner, "Ms. No. 7, why can you identify that Brother Zhuang Cheng's new power is the so-called power of the true spirit? Is there any basis for that?"

Number 7 paused for a moment, then answered, "It's very simple... because the power of the divine seal is the power of the true spirit."
