Chapter 523 Peerless
death.

At this moment, Ji Fuyou was already dead.

His world collapsed from that moment on, and his existence came to an end.

but……

At a certain moment, a power of authority descended.

The power of rebirth!
However, the moment this power of authority descended, the Star-Devouring Demon already sensed it.

"Ah!"

His eyes were filled with mockery and sneer.

The power of rebirth?

One of the most useless authorities!

Perhaps when the two sides are evenly matched, being resurrected with full health and mana might have a slight effect.

Can a rebirth occur when the gap between the two sides is enormous?
Meaningless!

If he can kill him once, he can naturally kill him twice, three times, ten times, or a hundred times!
The only thing that surprised the Star Devourer was that the power of rebirth had been activated, but the blasphemer had not been reborn before his eyes.

but……

Judging from the traces left by the rebirth authority, he should be somewhere on Red Star.

That's easy.

Once this planet is devoured, the blasphemer will naturally emerge!

Upon realizing this, the Star-Devouring Demon let out a roar.

He suddenly opened his hideous and terrifying maw, from which an unprecedented power of void surged forth.

Under the pull of the Void Lock, the power of the void instantly covered the entire Crimson Star.

The massive crimson star, stretching tens of thousands of miles, was drawn together and shrank continuously by this force of void energy, and then...

It slid down into the gaping maw of the Star-Devouring Demon.

This kind of scene...

……

"It was this scene..."

A deep sense of powerlessness flashed in Chen Yunye's eyes.

His face was filled with an indescribable despair.

What was bound to happen, happened.

Nothing has changed.

This monster not only appeared at the last moment, but even Akahoshi ultimately met his end under its devouring power.

As for the peerless swordsman who will appear at the last moment, wielding a sword that cleaves the heavens and abysses...

No sense anymore.

It's meaningless now.

He could tell that the peerless swordsman who charged towards the Star-Devouring Demon was actually not as strong as President Ji Fuyou.

at best……

He's only on par with Ji Fuyou.

Even a powerful figure like Ji Fuyou was devoured by the Annihilation Light in front of this monster. If it were that peerless swordsman who could carve the heavens and abyss with his sword, it would be no different.

after all……

In the final moments of that scene, they didn't actually see the peerless swordsman defeat the star-devouring demon.

This proves that even though the peerless swordsman made a move, Crimson Star was still completely devoured by the Star-Devouring Demon.

them……

All failed.

This was their final fate.

……

"Ugh."

On the other side, Gu Qing also sighed slightly.

He lamented for Ji Fuyou, and also for his own impending death.

Furthermore, it laments the plight of billions of living beings on the entire Red Star.

He gave up and no longer held any hope.

Even if that peerless swordsman were to reappear, he would still be unable to defeat the Star-Devouring Demon.

The scenes from the dream inevitably repeat themselves...

It cannot be changed.

Even so, his gaze still involuntarily drifted in one direction.

That's the direction of Starlight City.

If his memory is not hazy, the peerless swordsman who cleaved the abyss with his sword should have leaped from that city, soaring straight into the sky to meet the Star-Devouring Demon, which, due to spatial distortion, was so enormous that it blotted out the sun and could almost cover the entire Crimson Star.

however……

With that one hopeless glance, Gu Qing seemed to suddenly realize something.

Immediately afterwards...

I couldn't help but open my eyes wide.

……

The moment Ji Fuyou was annihilated by the Annihilation Light of the Star-Devouring Demon, the Rebirth Authority was activated.

His data began to be read again.

He himself was reshaped in death.

However, the power of rebirth seems to have encountered a problem at this moment.

He came from the Red Star.

So, should the reshaped version be the original Ji Fuyou, or...?

Seasonal floaters from another world?
Even Ji Fuyou himself was unaware of this.

Because, in his energy form, he possesses the ability to transform at will; whether he wants to become himself on the Crimson Star or himself in another world, it's just a matter of a thought.

But the power of rebirth placed him in Starlight City...

The fact that he suddenly "woke up" in a dilapidated neighborhood on that morning itself signifies something.

"In the end, he... died."

Ji Fuyou said something.

Only death can unleash the power of rebirth.

The future remains unchanged!
Because even if the power of rebirth were activated, it wouldn't make much difference. The Star-Devouring Demon, if it could kill him once, could kill him ten, a hundred, countless times!

However, the power of rebirth can only revive him once in a short period of time.

Death and destruction are the end of everything.

That is, the ultimate future...

"Something's wrong!"

Ji Fuyou seemed to have resigned himself to his fate and accepted this ending.

but……

But he felt something was off.

There's a problem.

What is the future?!

What is the predetermined dream?

He saw destruction, he saw death.

but……

He has already experienced destruction and death.

Despite experiencing such destruction and death, he did not truly die.

In other words, from this moment on, he has stepped out of this predetermined future!

His original future ended the moment he truly died. Now, he is still alive, and even living for one more second is a new beginning, is...

A brand new life!
A brand new future!
Ji Fuyou's original life, just like the predetermined future given by the dream, had already fulfilled his mission.

His life, his world, has come to an end.

"period."

Ji Fuyou muttered these two words to himself.

He glanced at the small room.

This is the small house he lived in when he first came to Starlight City, not the place he moved to later.

For some reason, the room was not rented out at this time.

Because everyone in Akasei now practices martial arts, there's even a sword hanging on the wall.

Holding the sword, he repeated two words once more.

"period."

A period is a circle.

A complete circle with a beginning and an end!

The closed loop of life!
At this point in his thoughts, Ji Fuyou suddenly fell into a state of enlightenment.

That "Ji Fuyou's" life had a beginning and an end, completing the cycle of life, yet it was also...

It is also a closed loop of the mind!
"I thought that I could only complete the mental loop and break through my mental power again after I killed this star-devouring monster, but I didn't expect..."

"Buzz!"

The next moment, Ji Fuyou felt that the precognitive dream, that period of life, that experience, seemed to have been archived in an indescribable way.

Like a DVD of his life story, it has been preserved in a special way.

That story, from the initial dream to its complete realization within the dream, was crystal clear, with a beginning and an end.

And now he...

Having completely broken free from that period of life, Ji Fuyou, in his new life, views that period of life with a higher and more mysterious perspective!
When he entered this state, he suddenly had a very magical and mysterious feeling...

Especially when he looked at the Star-Devouring Demon, the "ultimate BOSS," the mysterious feeling was so clear.

He was like someone flipping through a book or watching a movie...

He can easily turn to the first page of a book and fast-forward a movie to the very last moment.

This closed-loop life, with all its experiences, is clearly presented before him, allowing him to view and appreciate it in a higher dimension.

Under this kind of examination and appreciation, some things that were previously overlooked suddenly become clear.

Just like this star-devouring monster in front of us.

He looks...

It is indeed still so powerful, so powerful that it is almost invincible.

But when all his data, materials, and information can be presented like books or movies, and he can browse through them repeatedly, he can find even the slightest error or the most fleeting flaw.

Then he saw the core of this star-devouring monster's immense power.

Thus, he saw that this star-devouring monster, believing that his void power had been stripped away, still used void power to firmly lock him in place, even though the void lock had not been fully restored.

Then he saw the flaw that had not yet fully recovered, and that if he broke it, it would cause the void to collapse, backlash against him, and completely devour him.

Everything is like a mirror, reflecting all the mistakes and flaws that still exist even under absolute control.

Ji Fuyou immediately understood this change.

"Perfect realm!"

Once, I only managed to steal a tiny fraction of the flawless realm from "Star God Cosmic Light".

Seeing that the power of the Star-Devouring Demon was about to truly tear the entire Crimson Star apart, Ji Fuyou's figure suddenly soared into the air.

He soared straight into the sky, facing the terrifying monster in the heavens that blotted out the sun and threatened to destroy the world...

Just like in the dream, that peerless swordsman who once soared into the sky to fight against the star-devouring demon and cleaved the heavens with his sword—slashed out with a single stroke!
What he held in his hand was not some peerless divine sword!
It's not some legendary weapon!
It was just an ordinary, unsharpened iron sword, the kind that novice martial artists were used to seeing.

But this ordinary iron sword, with its most unremarkable features, became extraordinary with a single, forceful slash...

The power of the void and the power of destruction intertwine and are released!
The sky seemed to have been cleaved open by an abyss!
Because his authority over the void was stripped away, the power of his sword strike was noticeably weaker than when he was at his peak.

But at this moment, the key to everything is not the strength of the forces, but...

hit!

With a stroke of genius, it struck that flaw, breaking the void lock and triggering a backlash of void power, which then devoured the star-devouring monster itself!

A peerless swordsman!

What defines a peerless swordsman?
He was given this title not because of his strength or skill level, but because of his swordsmanship!

Swordsmanship as graceful as a startled swan and as agile as a swimming dragon!

Just like this sword strike of his right now...

It's like that figure in a dream, always sought but never seen, seen but never real.

"That swordsman, was I, but not me... but..."

Unparalleled sword light!

"It's still me in the end!"
