Chapter 420: 391 Fierce Battle_2

Black and red beams of light surged continuously, as Ming Zhuo swung the dark light sword that seemed endless, and swiftly slashed towards Weiyang and Maotu.

They’re doomed... even I couldn’t help but think this.

The gap between someone just mastering the power of Great Impermanence and someone like Ming Zhuo, an experienced veteran, is enormous. Even me back then, if I wasn’t the so-called "Innate Manifestation" who must injure a True Spirit to ensure a kill, I would likely be taken down instantly by Ming Zhuo.

And even with such an advantage, if it weren’t for the hidden Xuanming Fire within Ming Zhuo’s body, I would at most leave him with minor injuries before being easily killed by him.

The situation for Weiyang and Maotu was even worse; Ming Zhuo’s attack had the property of a Guaranteed Hit. The first time I encountered it, there was no way to dodge, and they certainly had no reason to avoid it.

In fact, they really didn’t dodge at all.

First, a mysterious wave emanated from their bodies, spreading like ripples and trembling violently. Then Weiyang raised his arm to meet Ming Zhuo’s black and red beam of light.

Like a sturdy sandbag withstanding a whip kick, Weiyang resisted the black and red beam of light.

"What?" Ming Zhuo was shocked.

Seizing the opening, Weiyang and Maotu launched two invisible force attacks towards us once more.

Their actions were like machines, or corpses controlled by a necromancer in a fantasy tale. Their attacks clearly contained no personal will, and were not driven by their own mana, likely powered by the Power of Divine Seal Fragments.

This time, the invisible force they launched underwent a brand new change, resembling giant arrows shot from a ballista, full of unstoppable momentum.

Ming Zhuo skillfully manipulated mana to form a magic shield for defense, but for some reason, this veteran Great Impermanence’s magic shield shattered in the face of the invisible force from opponents he belittled as "imposters."

He was knocked back into the distance in shock.

Seeing this, I immediately unleashed my greatest killing move. The flames gathered swiftly beforehand finally transformed into a dark sun at this moment.

— Eclipse.

Facing the invisible force coming towards me, I countered with my full-force attack.

Then, an incredible scene unfolded.

Like a shot put crashing through a wooden board, "Eclipse" shattered the invisible force on the spot, and continued forward all the way.

Even Ming Zhuo couldn’t withstand the attack, yet my "Eclipse" broke through it effortlessly?

I was all ready to be overwhelmed on this side, but reality turned out to be entirely opposite, catching me off guard. The duo quickly avoided my "Eclipse," and because I hadn’t adjusted in time, they dodged my direct hit. "Eclipse" struck far behind them, immediately exploding into a giant pillar of destructive flame that pierced through the Human Bureau’s headquarters.

Soon, I grasped the situation.

The mysterious waves emanating from those two, with their intense trembling nature, reduced the density of others’ mana.

This wave that weakened density also seemed to be a type of the Power of Divine Seal Fragments, much like how the firewall of past independent realities couldn’t block me, and Dr. Silver Mask’s power of restart was ineffective against me. This mysterious wave couldn’t unconditionally reduce my mana density.

Most likely, our bonding relationship with the Divine Seal Fragment was at work. I couldn’t consciously control the Power of Divine Seal Fragments, but I could still benefit from it. To be precise, the mysterious wave wasn’t entirely ineffective against me; I just had strong resistance, allowing me to expend extra effort to restore my original mana density.

Ming Zhuo suffered much more in this regard. He wasn’t a Void Envoy that could bond with the Divine Seal Fragments, nor did he possess spare fragments in his hand. I have no idea whether Ming Zhuo had the technique to wield the Power of Divine Seal Fragments.

Additionally, though it’s just intuition, I feel that the mysterious waves from those two seemed identical to Dr. Silver Mask’s power of restart, also relying on independent reality space to achieve. Seemingly lowering our mana density through high-frequency vibrations, this was probably a disguise: its essence could likely be referenced to the constantly stretching surrounding space, aligning with the "Great Tear" hypothesis. Without their advantageous position, they likely couldn’t achieve the same level of effect.

It’s really unfortunate that "Eclipse" didn’t successfully hit them earlier, as they’ve now become highly wary of my killing move. I sensed their mysterious wave locking onto and converging on me. Though it wouldn’t affect my usual moves, "Eclipse," a super high-density ultimate skill requiring complete concentration, would probably take more time to charge, and the opponents would clearly not give me this opportunity.

Just as Weiyang and Maotu both turned their attention to me, the space above them suddenly tore open wide, and an overpowering amount of black and red mana gushed out like a dam burst, cascading down onto them like a waterfall.

Even with mysterious waves and their own mana protection, they were unable to withstand it. Their defenses got crushed, and they were blasted to the ground. The ground crumbled under the force of the mana, and they got buried who knows how deep.

Ming Zhuo appeared from the torn space, his expression sinister as he looked below.

"You two wretched, short-lived mortals dare ride atop my head?"

Speaking, he released a profound energy from himself, neutralizing the mysterious wave permeating the space.

Ming Zhuo could actually use his own mana to counteract the Power of Divine Seal Fragments!

Weiyang and Maotu quickly ascended again, their bodies wounded, even their masks becoming incomplete.

"Come on, mortals," Ming Zhuo said expressionlessly. "Let me see... how far you can go relying on the Power of Divine Seal Fragments."

The two seemed to simultaneously identify Ming Zhuo as the greatest threat and attacked him together. Ming Zhuo merely sneered, his body entwined with a surplus of black and red mana, transforming into a chaotic meteor that shot at the two Great Impermanence level combatants.

Seeing this, I didn’t immediately rejoin the battle.

Because I realized something: Ming Zhuo himself has the ability to combat these two Great Impermanence level fighters simultaneously, and might even turn the tables; conversely, even if he were to stumble here, he couldn’t be truly killed by them here.

In terms of the efficiency of strength allocation, staying here is redundant. It’s better to take advantage of him pinning down Weiyang and Maotu to track down and kill Ying Lingyun, who has escaped somewhere, and then come back to help him deal with Weiyang and Maotu together.

After all, Weiyang and Maotu are just the "pawns" of this battle; Ying Lingyun is the "general" who must be captured.

More importantly, Ying Lingyun seems capable of completing the true resurrection ritual of Yinyue using Changan within ten minutes. I can’t afford to waste much time here.

"Hm? Wait, Zhuang Cheng, why are you just standing there watching?" Ming Zhuo seemed to sense something was off.

"Ming Zhuo, I need to take Ying Lingyun’s head and then return to assist you," I felt my tone here was relatively sincere, "You’ll have to hold out for a while and see how far the mortals can go relying on the Power of Divine Seal Fragments."

With that, I turned around and moved rapidly into the distance.

"What? Zhuang Cheng, you bastard! Wait, damn it, I was just pretending... wait for me!"

Ming Zhuo’s enraged voice trailed behind me.
