Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 300 The Qualification to Control the Asura Armor: A Self-Will Surpassing Everything
After all, the Flame Emperor is stronger than Lu Fa, who possesses the strongest aura and transforms into a demon. The gap between him and Lu Fa, who only possesses the strongest aura, can only be greater.

Although some say that Emperor Yan was not serious at the time, this explanation is not enough.

The fact that Yan Di was "not serious" and fought Lu Fa to a standstill, and was even suppressed at the beginning, precisely shows that the gap between the two sides is not large. It seems that Yan Di must be "serious" in order to maintain the suppression of Lu Fa and win the battle against Lu Fa.

If Lu Fa had been overwhelmed by the "unserious" Yan Di, that would have proven the vast difference in strength between the two sides.

Therefore, Ye Xuan did not believe that Lu Fa, who had transformed into the Asura Armor, was unleashing the full power he possessed under the "strongest aura".

Although he estimated that Lu Fa would only be at the fifth rank after transforming into the Asura Armor, there are differences between the fifth ranks. In his prediction, Lu Fa was one of the stronger fifth-rank Lu Fas, approaching the sixth rank.

The power that Lufa is currently displaying clearly does not meet his standards.

Unless he overestimated the strength of Lu Fa, who possesses the "strongest aura," it can only mean that Lu Fa does not currently possess the "strongest aura."

Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, Lu Fa snorted coldly, a hint of anger flashing behind his scarlet glasses.

"We only have a slight advantage, don't look down on us!"

Having already watched "Armor Hero Xingtian", he naturally understood what "not having the strongest aura" meant.

That means he's currently in a state of being neither righteous nor demonic, and he's not qualified to wield the Asura Armor at all!
How could he possibly tolerate this?!

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Fa pressed the button on the Asura Summoner.

"Asura Purgatory Halberd!"

With a roar, a halberd imbued with an aura of destruction slowly took shape amidst the purplish-black energy torrent! The halberd was entirely silver, with its blade gleaming with a purple light; its mere presence caused the surrounding space to slightly distort!

The Asura Purgatory Halberd, the ultimate weapon of the Asura Armor! Legend has it that it possesses the destructive power to cleave everything and shatter spacetime!
Lu Fa gripped his battle halberd tightly, about to make a move.

"Zizzizi!"

Suddenly, electric current surged around the Asura Armor, and its energy core flickered violently!

"what?!"

Before he could react, the Asura Armor vanished like a phantom, turning into specks of light that scattered in the air!

Lufa staggered back two steps, staring at his hands in disbelief:
"Impossible! How could this be?!"

He was actually forcibly deactivated?!
Ye Xuan watched this scene and fell silent for a moment.

"As expected, you don't have the 'strongest aura' right now."

Although he had guessed this possibility before, Ye Xuan still couldn't understand why Lu Fa didn't have the "strongest aura" now.
After destroying tens of thousands of civilizations, does he still consider himself to be "righteous" rather than completely falling into the "evil" path?

Has he not truly faced the reality of everything he has done?
After thinking for a moment, Ye Xuan roughly understood the reason.

As the former commander of the Ares Armor Legion, Lufa spent his life enforcing Ares laws and upholding the "cosmic order" he perceived, an identity that was ingrained in his very being.

Even though he was framed, convicted, and exiled by King Peel, and plundered the energy crystals of countless civilizations and destroyed tens of thousands of planets in order to seize control of the galaxy, he never considered himself a true "criminal" or "villain" deep down.

The core purpose of seizing the energy crystal has always been revenge, to seek justice from King Peer and Ares, and to reclaim the lost honor and status.

He was a wronged "rebel" rather than a pure "destroyer".

He seized the energy crystal merely as a bargaining chip for revenge.

How can such a mindset cultivate the purest "ultimate energy"?
One of the core objectives of the revenge was "rectification of name".

Lufa's revenge is not just about killing King Peer; he also wants to reclaim everything he and the warriors of the Underworld Legion have lost, including honor, status, and their "innocence" in the history of Ares.

This is fundamentally different from "evil" which is purely about pursuing power, domination, or destruction.

He still cares about "his own and his subordinates' reputation" and "the truth," which in itself is a kind of "righteous" obsession.

Only a thousand years later, when Anmixiu, who represents his "human" side, dies, will his thoughts become pure.

Because the last trace of warmth in his heart, the last illusion of "righteousness", and the last bond related to "righteousness" were completely severed.

He no longer had any attachments, no longer needed any reason, and revenge itself lost its meaning; all that remained was pure hatred, a destructive urge, and a thirst for power.

He no longer cared about reputation, procedures, reasons, or even hatred itself; he was evil for evil's sake and power for power's sake.

That's when the evil energy reached its purest, most extreme, and most unadulterated state—the "strongest."

"Pity."

Ye Xuan shook his head slightly, somewhat regretful.

They thought they would witness Lu Fa's true strength when he transformed into the Shura Armor, possessing the "strongest aura," but unexpectedly, Lu Fa at this time did not have the ability to control the Shura Armor, and the power he could exert was only one-tenth of what it used to be, and it might not even be comparable to his own when he possessed the strongest aura.

However, for Lufa, this might actually be a stroke of luck.

The absence of "the strongest aura" means that he has not yet fallen into complete darkness.

His subordinates are all still alive, and An Miu Xiu has not died either;
Although they have lost the glory of Ares, at least they have not lost each other;

Compared to the original storyline where Lu Fa lost everything and still failed, the current Lu Fa retains more precious things.

"General!"

When Anmishiu and the others saw that Lu Fa's Asura Armor had been removed, they immediately stepped forward, their expressions tense.

Lu Fa waved his hand, indicating that he was alright. He took a deep breath, suppressed his surging emotions, and looked at Ye Xuan with a complicated expression.

After a moment of silence, he raised his hand and tossed it away.

"Shh!"

The Asura Armor Summoning Device traced an arc in the air before landing steadily in Ye Xuan's hand.

“I follow the rules and always accept my losses.”

"The Asura Armor Summoning Device is yours."

Lufa said calmly.

Anyway, he couldn't control the Shura Armor or unleash its full power; and he wouldn't stoop to losing everything and becoming completely demonic like in the "future".

In the end, it's just a suit of armor.

Back then, Emperor Yan was the strongest being in the galaxy, and his Asura Armor was invincible, but in the end, wasn't he still defeated?

That was even when they weren't wearing armor!

The techniques of Xing Tian, ​​Jingang, and Fei Ying have been broken by Ares and made into mass-produced armor. If they were to do it again, he and Ares' warriors, equipped with the armor, would defeat the Yan Emperor even more easily than before.

So, a set of armor that he couldn't use was given to him anyway.

It is always people who are truly powerful, not armor!

Moreover, given the opponent's strength, even if he were unwilling to give up the Shura Armor, he could kill them with absolute power and then take the Shura Armor.

"However, I cannot give you the Gengnu Vajra Pestle for the time being."

"I need it to recharge the Aphros and to determine if this world is truly a completely different world, and whether the Ares civilization exists in this world."

At this point, Lufa paused slightly, then became even more resolute:

"If you insist on taking it, then be prepared to fight the entire Netherworld Legion to the death."

Even though in the original trajectory, some of the Netherworld Demons eventually lived on this planet for thousands of years and gradually let go of their hatred, that was a matter for the "future".

Even now, the flames of revenge still burn in their hearts, and they cannot accept reality without even seeking an answer.

Regardless of whether this world is truly another world, they want to confirm whether the Ares civilization exists.

The Gengnu Vajra Pestle can provide energy for the Afas, and they would never hand it over to Ye Xuan before confirming the existence of the Ares civilization.

Ye Xuan chuckled softly upon hearing this, but did not reply.

He opened the Shura Summoner, which resembled a flip phone, and looked at the abundant energy display within, unsurprised.

The "strongest righteousness" and "strongest evil" required by the Shura Armor are not, in essence, pure justice or evil on a moral level, but rather the ultimate purity and absolute focus of spirit and will.

Emperor Yan's "strongest righteousness" stems from an extreme desire for battle itself, rather than from fighting for protection.

He is obsessed with fighting and regards life as worthless; he doesn't care about justice and only pursues the thrill of fighting the strong.

His "righteousness" is the purity of the pinnacle of martial arts, not true kindness.

Lu Fa's "strongest evil aura" in the later stages was his obsession with revenge and the ultimate power.

After Anmishiu's death, his "evil" was no longer about "seeking justice," but pure evil.

What they have in common is that they discard all distractions and compress the "self" to an absolute state that is almost "inhuman".

Li Haotian's ultimate ability to wield the War God's Blazing Sword was not due to so-called "justice," but rather because his belief in "protection" became even purer in dire circumstances.

The determination to protect others, even at the cost of one's life, overwhelmed all other thoughts.

If it were the original Ye Xuan, he would never have been able to control the Shura Armor.

Although he pursued the title of "strongest" at that time, his belief was not as firm as he imagined.

Whether in his past life or this one, the years he experienced were too short, and the choices and trials he faced were far from enough to forge an "absolutely pure" will.

But now, his will has become so pure that it is almost inhuman.

He is self-centered, and all his actions are based solely on "what he wants to do"; his own will is above all else and is not disturbed by any external factors.

Righteousness? Not really.

He wants too much, indulging in greed, anger, and ignorance, yet these emotions can also form the "strongest energy."

However, in a sense, this is not really "evil," but simply a will to disregard everything else and carry out "self" to the extreme.

Just like when Li Haotian finally returned to the past and wanted to change everything, greed, anger, and ignorance gathered together in an instant, but that did not mean he lost his "strongest energy".

The reason he was unable to maintain the Asura Armor was simply because he initially drove the Asura with "righteous energy," but at the crucial moment, he suddenly turned into "evil energy," causing the armor's energy to short-circuit.

If he later uses "evil energy" to power the Asura Armor, he can succeed in the same way.

But when he has to consider cause and effect and take others into account, his anger becomes impure.
