Chapter 1567 - 804: Benediction and Sharing
In Hui Nao's hand, a small flame flickered like a bean, emitting a faint light that only illuminated his surrounding, yet silently swallowed all incoming attacks.
Designed as a defense against entropy's destruction, it combines Ascension and Abyssal Transformation, the Mirror and Rainbow's Existence craftsmanship—Light Swallowing Lamp!
"Look, I'm not in a hurry."
Hui Nao raised his head, his gentle face full of a smile, Unmoving as a Mountain: "Now, victory seems to be on my side. You'd better, respond appropriately—"
Boom!!!
Just as the blood-colored storm hit him and shattered him into pieces, Hui Nao's body burst and dissolved like sludge, returning to the mud pool.
And at the other end of the mud pool, a blurred silhouette wriggled, slowly rose, and sighed, "If I were you, I would care more about myself than my opponent, after all, the situation is too dire."
"..."
In the entanglement of countless mud, the blood light slashed repeatedly, trying to cleave the mud pool from the center, yet it felt stuck in the mud, difficult to escape.
Thread-like thin lines extended from the mud, seemingly there yet not, continuously swimming, attempting to entangle Ji Jue, as gravity kept changing, pulling him towards further depths.
Under the erosion of curses, Ji Jue remained expressionless, Pan Ying roared, slashing valiantly.
Soon he felt it, Pan Ying's blood light weakened insignificantly, then again, weakening further... as if suppressed, unable to exert itself.
A sighing voice rang from afar.
"Though Ye Family's Nine Forms have fallen into the vortex, hard to trace, in the past Ye Zhun, the old Family Head, offered many good things to You Sui!"
Hui Nao lowered his eyes, looking at the cracked, ancient scabbard in his hand, sighed lightly, "See, fate is always so bizarre, things originally prepared for Ye Xian by You Sui are being used on her student.
A substitute for punishment, it fulfills your filial duties, doesn't it?"
Once, the main lineage of Ye Family created items specifically to suppress their own craftsmen, and now those creations quietly illuminate, with spiritual infusion, suppressing the Nine Forms, starting to weaken.
Ji Jue said nothing, didn't pause even slightly.
Holding Pan Ying, he continued to attack fiercely, pressing forward every step.
But Hui Nao seemed to have made up his mind not to engage directly.
Only wandering and fleeing, using the mud pool to constantly change positions, even with full preparedness, avoiding direct confrontation with Ji Jue.
Even as threats loom, dodging, rolling, not retaliating at all.
The voice kept coming, whether considerate greetings or sighing sentiments, seemingly sincere yet increasingly irritating, almost nauseating.
Until the curses entangled and intertwined, a steel body was completely covered, and Hui Nao's smile grew more mocking.
Yet abruptly, the heart-pumping roar erupted, within that chaotic multicolored darkness, purple-black electric light surged.
Zanlu raged, incinerating all invading curses, even though it also burned and liquefied, the originally annihilated curse unexpectedly reappeared quickly, starting to spread once again.
"It's useless, Mr. Ji, resentment unceasing, curse unextinguished. Looks like my student truly hates you to the bone."
Hui Nao shook his head, slowly said, "This isn't your fault, actually, I don't blame you.
Blame the prejudice and pedantry between Ember and Zhi Fu, driving us to a life-and-death struggle here. Isn't it ridiculous?"
At that moment, Ji Jue finally raised his head, looked at him, seemingly moved, slowly opened his mouth, making Hui Nao's smile more delighted.
The fortress is already loosening.
A thousand-mile dyke revealed its first crack.
From beginning till now, he was finally getting a response from Ji Jue, be it rebuttal, disdain, or furious questioning, it didn't matter.
The more he spoke, the faster the crack spread, the sooner collapse would come.
But his smile hadn't fully manifested before it froze at the corner of his mouth.
What he heard was only Ji Jue's question.
"—What are you really hiding?"
In an instant dead silence, Hui Nao's expression fell into bewilderment, and after a brief shock, he shrugged slightly: "I really don't understand what you mean, am I not candid enough? Or do you think I am hiding something from you?"
"But you got anxious."
Ji Jue examined that face: "From the beginning till now, you seem to be talking non-stop, constantly luring me to attack you, as if afraid I wouldn't notice you."
"Of course, it's because I'm despicable."
Hui Nao answered indifferently: "Or do you think even this is me covering something? It doesn't matter, it's your own..."
"Lies."
Ji Jue sighed lightly, critiqued: "Too forceful. If you didn't want me to notice now, you'd start another topic or seek another weakness of mine, like continuing to attack my teacher—but you didn't... I get it, you just purely want to stall for time, irrelevant whether I notice or not.
For you, even words like this are just padding and entertainment.
Perhaps, with some inducement..."
After a moment of contemplation, he decisively said, "You want my focus to remain solely on you, ignoring what truly matters outside!"
Groundless, capturing shadows, one might even say, a casual assumption.
Yet Ji Jue decisively treated it as the truth.
If asked the reason for any evidence, then there is only one point.
"If it were me, I would do the same."
He said, "And so, I did."
Boom!!!
When Hui Nao's attention was entirely fixed on Ji Jue in that instant, the Crack Realm echoed with a thunderous roar reminiscent of the past.
The Dragon Mountain Giant descended from the sky!
Steel constructs, light as a feather, now transformed into mountains, plunged into the writhing mire, unleashing explosive radiance!
From the recent explosion, the light and heat extracted by Zanlu, the barely-contained violent heat in the Thunder Pool, was like a sun steadily rising from the mire, stirring up a storm that swept across all directions.
Among the evaporating and flying muck, in the deepest darkness, a solemn outline resembling an altar faintly appeared!
As Dragon Mountain drew out the Light and Heat Sword, slicing downwards, Hui Nao's figure finally emerged from the mire, blocking the front, raising a hand.
He lifted up a shadow resembling a steadfast iron wall from the ground, barring all assaults outside.
Still, an unruffled appearance, calm and gentle, only a seemingly helpless sigh lightly quelled the negligible fury.
"That's why I hate you pretentious craftsmen!"
Clearly, each more despicable and shameless than the last, yet beneath the surface, each flaunts a more regal facade!
How long has it been?
A minute? Two minutes? Not even three!
The setup I painstakingly buried has already been completely exposed, relying not on extraordinary intuition, world-shaking wisdom, or meticulous logic.
It was merely, simply, putting oneself in another's shoes, and nothing more.
Luckily, my preparations were thorough enough... otherwise, there really was the possibility of capsizing in front of this little runt!
When the form and complex Secret Ritual of the altar behind him were exposed, the hourglass placed in the center had already silently run out.
Then, the hourglass was turned over!
In silence, it was as if thunder resounded.
Outside the Crack Realm, Jiang Tongguang rose in fury, eyes wide open.
And within the Crack Realm, Ember's presence completely vanished without a trace, leaving only the endless emerald fire suddenly erupting from the sky, and the eye opening within the emerald fire.
Henceforth, Great Evil reigns supreme!
This is merely a ritual and sacrifice employed exclusively within the Crack Realm at this moment—offering countless sacrifices, cutting off all Superior, and using everything within the Crack Realm as tribute, delivering it before Great Evil for grand viewing...
This is not even considered an attack, nor is it some malicious curse; for every Zhi Fu craftsman, it's an opportunity difficult to acquire even after expending countless resources and funds.
This is a blessing, directly addressing Zhi Fu's blessing and transformation, offering countless precious materials, imploring Great Evil to bestow essence, empowering oneself, enabling a craftsman to achieve levels beyond their limits and perfect their reforging.
This, even, does not limit itself!
Likewise, without differentiation between friend or foe...
This also implies that Ji Jue, as a participant, is similarly encompassed, even more so, because of the blessing descending upon him due to slaying nine Zhi Fu craftsmen before, exceeding what Hui Nao will receive!
Boom!
The steel body abruptly solidified for a moment, as if an invisible force was applied to the spine, making movement arduous.
Convulsions, spasms.
From this moment on, the unstoppable Mutated begins!
"Great Evil's favor, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and blessing, I share with you."
Hui Nao smiled, overlooking his opponent's demeanor:
"Mr. Ji, how do you feel?"
Words of disruption, suppression by numerous creations, curses permeating every corner, Mo Tu's explosion, even the opponents previously sent on stage by Hui Nao himself... all of it was never the key point, merely a diversion.
Now, as all conditions are complete, transforming into a chain of destruction, descending upon Ji Jue, Hui Nao's objective finally becomes clear.
What he wanted, from the beginning, was not just to win!
But to use this further, reclaim everything lost due to Ji Jue!
He aims to, in this Ember of Decay Decision, right under the eyes of the Association and the Grandmaster, let the craftsman they pushed forward, fall into You Sui, completely Mutated!
