Chapter 698: Chapter 692: Reincarnation Scroll! Endless Lives!
After a bout of rational thinking, Chi Xiao suddenly felt...
Perhaps the "True Demon" that no one has ever seen, only existing in rumors, is an individual at the Sin Level?
The birth of the Sinners could cause the resurrection of the end times, leading to the extinction of all things...
It makes logical sense!
"Forget it, it’s none of my business anyway."
Chi Xiao curled his lips: "If I really can’t fight, I’ll just run away."
"Maybe the appearance of a ’Sinner’ could burst open this Universe, giving me a chance to explore other planes and find new pleasures."
Unlike Lan Xi and Golden Domain, he neither has the former’s sense of responsibility and mission nor the latter’s kindness and compassion. Living in this World is just for the pursuit of pleasure, really not worth risking life and death with the Demon Nest.
Working for the Cosmic Will is like serving an unknown nature capitalist.
Maybe after working hard all my life, being drained of all value, I’ll end up being eliminated as a threat.
To pursue pleasure, Chi Xiao was once the "Demon-slaying Vanguard," seen by companions as a hawk representative, but actually not so.
He feels that sometimes, it’s better to be a little passive.
Qing Dai and Zhu Ding are too focused, too eager, and unable to achieve their goals, which causes them the feeling of living in Pain.
Isn’t there a saying on Earth called "a person with great achievements often threatens the ruler"?
Actually, in Chi Xiao’s view, the Sin Level is not too exaggerated.
Even if such a guy could kill me, it wouldn’t really make me accept it wholeheartedly.
Moreover...
If I can’t win, I’m not afraid I can’t run away?
There is fun in battle, but fun is not all in battle.
Without considering actual Combat Power, as the "Reincarnation Supreme," he has quite an understanding in survival capabilities, considering himself stronger in this aspect than other Divine Court Masters.
Even if the Cosmic Will wants to kill him, it may not be able to quickly erase him.
Rebellion is impossible, but running away and Defense can be done.
Just like many "Demon Nest Civilizations" under the pursuit of the "Divine Court."
No Demon Nest has the hard strength to compare with the Divine Court.
Especially in high-end combat, the Divine Court holds absolute advantage.
Before Ma Ran and several Cangming Overlords appeared, Chi Xiao could vouch that, one-on-one, as the "Supreme Rulers," they could kill whoever they wanted without much effort.
It’s just that...
Everyone has different temperaments, quirks, goals, and factions, rarely achieving consensus.
Otherwise, even if they couldn’t exterminate the Demon Nests entirely, at least they could limit and compress their influence to a specific Star System.
Shaking his head, Chi Xiao collected his thoughts and focused on Cangming Star.
A strand of his mind had just descended to the duel location.
But...
Chi Xiao was certain, regardless of the result of this decisive battle, the fight would end in an instant.
Lan Xi’s voice resounded again: "Want me to help you maneuver? You’re not good at fighting!"
Chi Xiao responded without hesitation: "This ’Ye Honglian’ is the same as Ma Ran, I haven’t found her True Spirit Seal either."
"So..."
"Don’t waste time! Focus and watch!"
...
Cangming Star, Blade Province.
Between the residences of the Xu and Qian families.
A man and a woman stood in the middle of the road, facing each other at a traffic light.
The vehicles, usually weaving in and out, were neatly parked on the sides of the road, completely still.
The drivers quietly gripped their steering wheels, sitting in their seats, eyes vacant.
Surrounding pedestrians acted as if they couldn’t perceive their existence, subconsciously avoiding them.
"Tsk..."
Chi Xiao’s mind incarnation cheerfully looked at Ye Fengqing: "A ’Ten Interference Points’ level battle, I haven’t experienced in years."
"I have no interest in revisiting experiences from a million years ago."
"Being restrained is too dull."
"Come now! Attack with all your might!"
"You only have one chance!"
"If you miss it..."
"You’ll lose!"
This is typical trash talk.
If Ye Fengqing can attack the enemy’s strength with her weakness, she could gain the upper hand in this duel!
Life forms reaching this level have almost maxed out all improvable Attributes.
So...
The issue of Combat Techniques does not need consideration.
As a "Reincarnation Supreme," compared to other Divine Court Masters, Chi Xiao excels at bullying the weak and survival capabilities.
If the "Lord of the Red Lotus" in front of him chose the wrong tactics, he could win this round!
"Oh?"
Ye Fengqing smiled faintly, extending a slender, white finger, gently pointing at the void ahead: "Then take this."
Swish!
A crimson afterimage suddenly swept past Chi Xiao’s body, the blazing light flames fiercely burning, rising around him!
Unbearable pain surged in Chi Xiao’s heart.
Yet his lips curled up, a knowing smile appearing on his face.
"You..."
"You’ve been deceived!"
He saw through that Ye Fengqing had bet everything on this strike, almost depleting all the reserve Energy within the mental incarnation, leaving nothing but barely maintaining the existence of her body.
At this moment, even an ordinary person could punch and shatter Ye Fengqing’s incarnation into pieces.
From the scorching flames, scroll after scroll flew out from Chi Xiao’s surroundings.
Ink paintings, oil paintings, comics...
The scrolls contained various contents.
Man, woman, eunuch...
Elderly, middle-aged, youth, child...
Swordsman, Gun Hero, shooter, Mecha Master...
Mage, scientist, writer, illustrator, teacher...
Not just humans; some other species appeared as well.
Like vampires, Angels, Demons, orcs, stone men, steel men as intelligent life forms.
These scrolls seemed to encompass the possibilities of all life forms in the Cosmos.
In the paintings, all life shared a common trait.
Pain.
The expressions on their faces gradually changed, from initial calm to eventually explicit Pain, as if undergoing some excruciating torture.
At the same time, amidst the blazing flames, Chi Xiao’s smile grew even brighter.
Chi Xiao’s gaze sharpened, his eyes daggers on Ye Fengqing.
"You’ve already lost."
He appeared full of confidence, like a mastermind, saying: "All the life forms in these scrolls are identities I’ve used in round after round of Reincarnation."
"And..."
"You must have noticed."
"Their total number is increasing at a rate of seven hundred million per second."
"These Reincarnation Scrolls represent endless life journeys."
Saying this, Chi Xiao shifted his tone: "If we were to have a fair fight, giving it our all in a head-on battle, I might not be your match."
"But in this duel..."
"Neither you nor I can unleash more than a ’Ten Interference Points’ level of combat power."
"After pouring everything into a strike, regardless of any skillful methods you may have, it won’t reverse the tide."
Chi Xiao looked up and down at Ye Fengqing, smiling as he spoke: "I can see, you really want to win."
"Even at this point, you’re trying hard to maintain the incarnation’s existence."
"But..."
"Sadly."
"In this duel, you’ve already lost!"
He wanted to see a look of loss or unwillingness on the face of this incarnation of the "Lord of the Red Lotus."
Unfortunately, he only saw a sneer of contempt on Ye Fengqing’s face.
In that smile, arrogance was fully evident.
Ye Fengqing rested one hand behind her, posing with ease.
She looked at Chi Xiao, her lips slightly curving upward, calmly saying: "Your life is like a candle in the wind, about to extinguish."
