Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

[Source Code Engine (Legend)]

【Special Effect 3 (Program Pause): Select a spatial area or a single target, pausing time on them for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 5 minutes. (Note: The spatial area is affected by the holder's mental strength; the greater the target's mental strength compared to the holder, the shorter the duration.)】

Wu Wang used this ability the moment he fought Black Eye Obsession.

The effect of this time-stopping is quite peculiar.

If he targets the Black Eye Obsession, theoretically it is impossible to cause any damage to it during the time stop.

Because whether it's swords, spears, axes, or various items and skills, they will all be affected and have their time paused the moment they hit the opponent.

But that doesn't change the fact that the effect is so powerful.

Because the surrounding environment is not still.

Just like the situation where all the clones rushed forward at once.

He can fill the attack from any angle, and the moment the item effect ends, the opponent will suffer damage from all directions at the same time.

In addition, Wu Wang's mental strength was so high that it was almost inhuman. Even most opponents who were stronger than him would probably be controlled for ten seconds.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of thing would be a true first-time killer.

Unfortunately, Wu Wang sensed something was wrong the instant the skill was about to activate.

He clearly chose the target of Black Eye Obsession.

Yet, I had a sense of déjà vu, as if I were freezing time in the entire Cibei Temple.

He then brainstormed and began to speculate on the reasons for this strange situation.

The Black Eye Obsession was born from the monk Huiming, whose power stemmed from being the son of Duye. The countless golden cicadas created by the Buddha Duye, who helped all sentient beings, have turned Cibei Temple into an insect nest.

The connection is probably closer than one might imagine.

Dealing with Huiming is tantamount to dealing with Cibei Temple.

Fortunately, Wu Wang himself didn't expect to actually kill the Black Eye Obsession on the spot.

His original intention was to hide it.

Therefore, even if the skill only takes effect for a moment, Wu Wang takes advantage of this time when the opponent is unaware of the change in environment and the ground is cracked and dust is billowing due to the attack.

They silently flashed backward to the fleshy steps.

The [Fake Smile Mask], enhanced by the [Heretical] title, activated its mimicry effect, instantly turning Wu Wang into a piece of flesh and blood on the steps.

He just lay there quietly on the steps.

He controlled his clones to plunge into the dust and fog one after another to fight against the obsession of the Black Eyes.

He was then grabbed by the opponent's thousand hands and thrown out of the secret room.

When the black mist completely sealed off the entrance above, Wu Wang knew he had guessed correctly.

pat-

The pieces of corpse on the fleshy steps slowly rose up and transformed back to their original form as Wu Wang had died.

I took out my clothes from my backpack and put them back on.

He walked toward the motionless body of the man with the dark eyes.

Shaking his head, he muttered, "Ugh, I knew you bald monk were full of bad ideas."

"I was thinking that since Monk Huiming could inspire such admiration and respect in Xiao Wusheng, his Buddhist nature must be quite strong. The fact that he could maintain his good intentions even after learning the truth many years ago, when his heart was broken and his obsessions took root, further proves this point."

"As his obsession, you should also possess the same Buddha-nature. How come you have been standing in front of this stone gate for years without making any progress?"

At this point, Wu Wang raised his hand and placed it on the other person's round, bald head, stroking it.

He grinned and said, "You reacted quickly too. After realizing what I was thinking, you immediately mentioned that you have deciphered the Twelve Links of Dependent Origination over the years, trying to dispel my doubts."

"But if everything goes according to plan, when we come back to crack the Buddha statue tomorrow night, only three of us will make contact, while the other four will be watching you closely. I've even made it clear that I want to eliminate you."

"Since you're completely unmoved by this, it proves that you're confident that you can get inside and obtain the Golden Cicada before us after the stone gate is opened."

"Unfortunately, I'm a gambler and I don't underestimate any opponent."

"I'm betting that you have a backup plan that allows you to take advantage of a time difference with us."

Indeed, once Wu Wang realized this, he made up his mind to keep the other party at bay tonight.

Last night, everyone left in a hurry because once they were locked in this stone door chamber, and Kong Bei couldn't find the logbook, there would be no one who could open the mandala entrance from the outside to let them out.

My second sister and the others are outside now, and they will reopen the entrance tomorrow night no matter what.

Wu was no longer worried about losing his kingdom.

Sure enough, once the other party realized that he was the only one left, he immediately used his backup plan due to his obsession with becoming a Buddha.

Wu Wang's act of pretending to be from the Tang Dynasty is truly insidious and obsessive.

He took out the [Thief Devourer] from his backpack and pointed it at his forehead.

The tip of the knife pierced the skin and carved the shape of a vertical middle finger on the forehead.

He was a man of his word, and Wu Wang would never break his promise.

Seeing the body, which had been still, gradually turn pale under such stimulation, he lost interest in toying with it any longer and swiftly pierced its brain with a knife, giving it a quick and painless death.

[Swallower (Epic): Equipping this sword allows you to sense the presence of spirits, increasing your strength by 25 points]

【Special Effect 1 (Wolfing Down): This equipment can directly damage the target's soul, amplifying their sense of pain and causing intense suffering. Furthermore, the damage will continuously devour the target's spiritual power, with the devoured portion being fed back to the wielder.】

【Special Effect 2 (Soul Chaser): The location of a target damaged by this equipment will be constantly detected by the wielder until the injury is fully healed】

[Note: The three souls and seven spirits combine to form a human being; if the souls are scattered and the spirits disperse, there is no way to be reborn.]

Wu Wang intends to use this equipment, which can strike directly at the soul, to erase Huiming's obsession!
The moment his head and soul were pierced, Black Eye's obsession was forcibly awakened from the trial state of [Extinction].

After all, the pain is so intense it feels like you're going to die.

How could we not have noticed the problem?

The moment he opened his dark eyes, he met Wu Wang's sly gaze.

Good morning, have you eaten yet?

"If you haven't eaten, take this knife!"

Wu Wang gripped the blade of the Devourer's sword tightly, but instead of pulling it off the opponent's forehead, he forcefully slashed downwards.

In an instant, a hideous wound appeared on Black Eye Obsession's body, running from his forehead to his chest and heart.

This is a true penetrating wound.

Standing in front of him, Wu Wang could even see the other's internal organs through the wound.

A normal living being with its brain and heart pierced, or even nearly severed in two, would already be a corpse.

However, Wu Wang sensed a restless and turbulent power surging within the other party's body.

You! Deserve! To! Die!

Black Eyes roared with resentment and bitterness.

He pulled his hand away from the Buddha statue, formed it into a claw, and lunged at Wu Wang.

The blood flowing from his gruesome wound was not bright red, but rather a foul-smelling black liquid, which flowed on the ground like viscous oil.

The moment Wu Wang drew his sword, he also dodged backward to a safe position.

He sighed and said, "I told you you're not human, but you wouldn't listen. Look at you, walking around outside, do you think any pilgrim would treat you like a monk?"

At this moment, the obsession with black eyes had completely lost its connection to Huiming in terms of appearance.

Soaked in the filthy black liquid flowing from his body, a thousand petals of flesh grew from his waist and groin, completely devouring his lower body. Each petal of flesh looked like a large, severed tongue, or some kind of thick, purplish-black lotus leaf, making the Black Eye Obsession appear not to be standing, but rather rooted on some fleshy lotus platform.

The black Dharma wheel behind his head reappeared, but the black color had faded, revealing the circular shape formed by the connection of white bones underneath.

The thousand hands that originally resembled Guanyin's had become withered and skeletal, each forming a hand gesture commonly seen on Buddhist statues, making it appear extremely eerie.

Countless granulation tissues were wriggling on his face and the wounds he had just made, and his eyes had become two translucent Buddhist beads engraved with scriptures.

However, two thin, black insects could be vaguely seen swimming inside the prayer beads.

The Black Eye Obsession has now become a true monster.

The filth in his mouth kept flowing out, making his voice muffled as he tried to speak.

I could only vaguely hear one word—

"Buddha……"

The word was repeated over and over, faster and faster, until it finally turned into a meaningless hissing sound.

He chants Buddhist mantras, and that's all he can chant.

He will never stop chanting.

call--

In an instant, the fingers of the thousand hands intertwined and cracked, forming an enormous palm that tore through the air and struck.

Wu Wang immediately drew his serrated blade to parry. Bang!
The powerful impact caused the ground beneath Wu Wang's feet to crack instantly, and he was almost shattered by the slap.

Before it could even manifest itself under the suppression of the giant, withered hand, the opponent's lower body, which had transformed into a lotus of flesh, began to frantically lick the ground and pounce on it, like some kind of crawling creature.

Only then can you see clearly that each petal of the fleshy lotus has countless barbs, or rather, it looks like the mouthparts of countless insects frantically chewing, and it is even covered with black sticky liquid, like melted asphalt.

Wherever they went, the ground was corroded or gnawed into pits like tunnels of insects.

boom! boom! boom!
The elemental gun was wielded by a clone that crawled out from Wu Wang's shadow and frantically fired compressed fire elemental laser bullets at the lotus leaves of the flesh lotus.

As the lotus leaves were repeatedly pierced, the stench of burning flesh filled the air.

Under this pain, the roars from the other party became even more miserable.

brush--

Wu Wang vanished into thin air.

The figure appeared instantly above his head.

One hand gripped the white bone wheel behind the head of the black-eyed obsession, while the other hand dug into the other's eye socket.

"If you're going to be killed, just die already!" Wu Wang shouted. "What are you doing playing this second phase game with me here?!"

He pointed his finger inward and pressed it against the eyeball that had transformed into Buddhist prayer beads.

They pulled it out along with its optic nerve with a sudden, forceful outward motion.

However, the optic nerve, which should have been fragile, was now twisting and bouncing wildly, like a long centipede being lifted up, with even a dense array of hook-like legs swaying.

As he casually crushed it, Wu Wang also felt a kind of itchy sensation on the surface of his hands.

Turning my head, I was shocked to find that the white bone wheel was melting away little by little.

To be precise, it was insects that looked like termites crawling on the Falun that were moving up my arm and onto my body.

They were frantically gnawing at their own skin.

If any wound or breakage occurs, it will crawl into its body through the opening.

However, before Wu Wang could even let go and think about committing suicide once, so that the immortal could recover and expel all the foreign objects from his body, he was already in trouble.

A termite had already taken a vicious bite into the scarlet vertical pupil on the wrist.

He was watching the fierce battle of Wu Wang from the sidelines when he was suddenly bitten by an extremely tiny insect for no apparent reason.

This was like a provocation against the mark of the Abyss God.

In an instant, a powerful suction force emanated from the pupil of the Abyss God Mark.

The insects that were crawling all over Wu Wang's arm were quickly sucked in and dissolved on the surface of the mark as if they had never existed. Even the Dharma wheel was forcibly pulled over and digested.

He enjoyed it immensely, like a snack.

Without the influence of this unpredictable factor, Wu Wang summoned his fang blade once again.

While dodging or blocking the attacks from all angles after the Thousand Hands withered bones scattered, they also tried to stab the bone into the opponent's neck.

This time, he's going to cut off the entire head.

Then chop it into a paste!

In fact, Wu Wang could also sense that the second-stage Black Eye obsession was getting weaker and weaker.

It's like a last gasp, a desperate last stand.

As the filthy black liquid flowed through his body, his movement became slower and slower, and his strength gradually diminished.

Perhaps even without Wu Wang's fierce attack, simply dragging things out like this wouldn't last long.

Ultimately, the effect of swallowing thieves is still very strong.

The soul of this thing has long been shattered into a complete mess.

In other words, it is not a real living being, but an obsession born from something unknown combined with Huiming, and its vital signs are not maintained by organs such as the brain and heart.

It's not the filth within its body that's the problem.

Otherwise, why would we need to go through all this trouble?

"Come on, let's fight each other until the blood flows like a river."

"Kill until I'm satisfied!"

The curve of Wu Wang's lips was also not quite human-like, filled with a kind of madness no less than the obsession with becoming a Buddha in the monster's eyes.

呲——

Seeing that the thousand-handed skeleton had filled every corner of the secret chamber, Wu Wang was too lazy to hide any longer.

He let the thing pierce through his chest, and at the same time, it also ripped a hole in the other person's neck.

Immediately afterwards, a bizarre scene unfolded in the locked room.

The two, a human and a Buddha-like monster, stood face to face, neither retreating nor dodging.

They stabbed at each other with their knives and claws.

Until one side's movements become increasingly slower.

Finally, his head was completely severed and rolled to the ground.

The monster is still slightly inferior to the cheater.

"This humble monk... once said..."

The filth in Black Eyes' mouth had almost completely flowed out, which meant that he seemed to be approaching his end.

However, it seemed as if he still wanted to say something to Wu Wang.

"My attachment to self will never be extinguished... May Buddha live on forever..."

"How can you mortals understand the Buddha's will... Even if you find the Golden Cicada, you will not grasp its profound mysteries..."

"This humble monk will soon return to take back the Golden Cicada... and attain Buddhahood, hahaha!"

The laughter emanating from that head grew increasingly desolate and chilling.

Wu Wang simply chopped it up completely.

Feeling the filthy black liquid beneath my feet and the eerie body lying to the side, there was no further movement.

He felt no joy in killing his opponent.

Perhaps, as this guy said, as long as the monk Huiming's attachment to self doesn't dissipate, it can't be truly erased.

What I'm slaying now is merely a temporary obsession.

Jin Chan stayed at Cibei Temple for another day. The temple was bustling with worshippers, and monks came in droves.

Then this distorted effect will continue to repeat itself.

The next Huiming, influenced by his ego; the next Kongbei, driven mad by his cicada-seeking obsession…

These kinds of people will only appear one after another.

Wu Wang pondered whether he should open the stone door alone now, or wait here for everyone to face it together tomorrow.

After all, the obsession with the Black Eyes is gone, and the Empty Sorrow has yet to find this place.

The players already have a significant advantage in the current situation.

They will definitely be among the first to enter Shimen.

Click, click, click—

However, at that moment, a subtle yet dense sound echoed in the secret room.

Wu Wang slowly turned around to look in the direction from which the sound came.

What came into view was a withered skeletal arm, which appeared to be a product of the previous exchange with Wu Wang.

At this moment, the arm landed at the feet of the Buddha statue in the "Nirvana" realm.

The sound was coming from the Buddha statue.

It is cracking little by little.

This situation appears to indicate that the Buddha statue has been deciphered!

After sitting in meditation here for several years, I have completely deciphered the Twelve Links of Dependent Origination and half of the Six Perfections.

The Four Noble Truths, however, have never been successfully deciphered even once.

Just before Black Eye Obsession was killed by Wu Wang.

It finally succeeded.

This success, however, left Wu Wang somewhat helpless.

Plans seem to be out of sync with changes.

The Mandala Stone Gate has opened... (End of Chapter)
