I Flick, I Flick Again (Continued)
The two dragons clashed, heavenly fire burned, Sword Qi shot out, accompanied by endless dragon roars. With the help of the Dragon Scale Sword, Si Ming finally managed to win 40/60. However, he adopted an all-out offensive and defenseless fighting style. After finding a slight opening, he ignored his own vulnerability, drew his sword, and rode the dragon to charge out angrily.
Not to be outdone, the Netherworld Insect Princess did not consider turning her sword to defend, but instead drove her flaming dragon to crash into Si Ming.
Both sides bypassed their defenses and attacked each other. No matter how strong the Netherworld Insect Princess's protective Gang Qi was, it could not withstand the full force of the ultimate move. After being torn apart by the Flame Dragon, it was forced to fall to the ground and exploded violently with a loud bang.
Si Ming's Tathagata's Indestructible Body was also subjected to an unprecedented test. The Qi of Decline kept impacting his physical body, but it was blocked by the Thousand Buddhas hidden in his acupoints. The dense Sword Qi cut into Si Ming's body, leaving white marks that were difficult to pierce, but the strong impact still made his Qi and Blood and qi surge, his meridians feel like they were about to burst, and his acupoints feel swollen and painful.
"Ugh!"
Si Ming groaned in pain, blood spilling from his mouth, suffering internal injuries. Tathagata's Indestructible Body ultimately blocked the attack and was not broken, proving that the title of "the first Dharma body of Buddhist School" was well-deserved.
Seizing the opportunity to gain the upper hand, Si Ming's chest swelled and his breath became long and deep, causing the surrounding air currents to vibrate violently. Suddenly, he roared loudly, and the Kui Drum Thunder Sound swept down on the petite figure below. At the same time, he unleashed Buddhist School ultimate move, and the image of the World-Honored Tathagata behind him, with the wondrous lotus and dharma flower shining brightly.
"Nine Suns Return to One, Formless Tathagata!"
Before the Netherworld Insect Princess could recover from the Emperor Dragon's ultimate move, she was struck by the thunderous sound, which caused her eardrums to ache and bleed slightly. Her mind went blank for a moment, but when she regained her senses, she saw the Buddha's image swinging his palm towards her. She quickly struck the ground, and a ten-zhang layer of earth rose up vertically, mixed with the Qi of Decline, to block the brilliant Buddha's palm.
However, the Buddhist School ultimate move, blessed by the Heavenly Dragon World-Delivering Pagoda, was clearly not something that could be blocked by a mere stone wall. The Tathagata's image easily shattered it and pressed down on the Netherworld Insect Princess with a palm strike.
"Return Evil, Turn Radiance, Shift the Stars!"
The Netherworld Insect Princess below actually withstood the Buddha's form, and at the same time used Si Ming's self-created move. Relying on her own powerful Foundation, she forcibly decomposed the hundred-foot-tall Buddha's form, transforming it into the purest Buddhist Power, which she then absorbed for her own use. She then combined this power with her own strength and rebounded it.
Holy crap, this works!
Si Ming wanted to go back a moment and slap his past self. Why did he have to use this move of all? As a result, the opponent learned it. You have to know that the difficulty of this move lies in whether you can withstand the impact of the powerful move. If you can't withstand it, it's the same as suffering the opponent's powerful attack for nothing. It's no different from jumping off a cliff. If you can't jump over it, you will fall into an abyss.
For Foundation Netherworld Insect Princess, whose foundation was unparalleled in the world, this move was tailor-made for her. Even when she was hit by the thunderous sound and her mental state was poor, she still steadily caught Si Ming's ultimate move and rebounded it after strengthening it.
The rebounding ultimate move could no longer maintain the form of the Buddha; it was simply a beam of light, erasing all technical variations and leaving only pure destructive power.
Si Ming's mind raced. Having used his ultimate and most powerful moves repeatedly, he was weakened and had no strength left to unleash new attacks. He now had only one choice left—
"Return Evil, Turn Radiance, Shift the Stars!"
Knowing full well that this was a Road of No Return, a path from which there was no turning back, a path of life and death, Si Ming could only resign himself to his fate and stretch out his hands to block the surging light waves.
He lacked Foundation comparable to his opponent, so he could only place all his bets on the Tathagata Indestructible Body, to see whether the Netherworld Insect Princess's Foundation limit would be broken first, or Tathagata Indestructible Body would succumb to the pressure.
Receive, transform, strengthen, and return—the four steps were completed in one breath. Si Ming was thrown backward by the force, his internal Qi and Blood surging, and he rebounded after strengthening his ultimate move.
At this point, the Netherworld Insect Princess had no better option. Unable to dodge while locked in by the aura, she could either take the extreme attack head-on or bounce it back. Like gambling, she could either admit defeat and cut her losses or continue betting until one side lost everything.
"Return Evil, Turn Radiance, Shift the Stars!"
Clearly, she had no intention of cutting her losses. With a muffled groan, she absorbed the entire impact, amplified it, and bounced back.
"Return Evil, Turn Radiance, Shift the Stars!"
Having already realized the situation, Si Ming did not hesitate and immediately launched a counterattack.
"Return Evil, Turn Radiance, Shift the Stars!"
The ball was launched eight times in a row, much like playing ping-pong, except that the ping-pong ball would get bigger and heavier as it was launched, and after eight rounds of reinforcement, it would almost become a lead ball.
"Return Evil, Turn Radiance, Shift the Stars!"
The Netherworld Insect Princess received the attack again, her one leg buckling as she nearly collapsed to the ground. Her expressionless face trembled with pain, black energy emanated from her back, and her fair hands twisted to varying degrees. Her trembling body was like a spring compressed to its limit, as if it would collapse at any moment.
However, she managed to catch it, immediately converting the Buddhist Power into her own, and using it to rebound back with added power.
As Si Ming watched the rapidly approaching Buddha's light, his expression grew increasingly solemn. The previous counterattack had already caused his meridians to rupture, his Qi and Blood to surge against his heart meridian, and his body was protesting its weakness, already on the verge of its limit. And the ultimate move he was facing now had two more layers of enhancement than the previous one.
At this moment, he had one foot off the cliff; if his center of gravity shifted even slightly, he would immediately fall into the abyss and be left without a trace.
"Life is like a game of chess, unpredictable and full of twists and turns; all heroes are but a laughingstock."
The more dire the situation, the more composed one should be. Si Ming faced it with composure, circulating his internal energy. His smooth skin suddenly tightened and solidified, indicating that he had entered the Uranium Crystal State. In this state, although Movement Method agility would be limited, his defense would be further enhanced. More importantly, it did not conflict with the Tathagata Indestructible Body, which was beneficial and harmless in the current situation where movement was not required.
The moment their hands touched, the celestial phenomena changed in an instant. A powerful force swept outwards, accompanied by continuous thunder and lightning. The mighty Buddhist Power meandered and rose, as if pressing the earth under its palm. Its Heaven-Overturning force made even ghosts and gods weep in fear.
Si Ming felt his body throbbing with pain, and this time it was not his meridians or Qi and Blood, but his whole body, inside and out, was in pain. Every part of his body groaned in unbearable pain. The thousand Buddha images hidden in his acupoints gradually dimmed, and even his crystalline skin showed signs of cracking.
"Get back here!"
With a roar, Si Ming exhausted all his strength and finally blocked the impact before his body collapsed. After catching his breath, he strengthened his rebound to maximize its amplification.
He knew that this rebound was the limit. If the opponent could still withstand it, then it would be his death. At most, he could gamble on Tathagata Indestructible Body and Polonium Poison Primordial Spirit Body, and whether that would allow him to survive.
There was no room for trickery, no room for escape. The Netherworld Insect Princess had no way to dodge. The moment she came into contact with the ultimate move, her Cultivation Body was violently shaken, and she involuntarily spat out crimson blood. Even her unparalleled Foundation could not withstand such earth-shattering energy. She was pushed backward and did not stop after crashing through the mountain wall, leaving behind a trail of lingering Qi of Decline.
Judging from this situation, it seemed that the Netherworld Insect Princess would collapse at any moment and be completely swallowed by the Buddha's light. However, she did not fall. With each step she took back, she slowed down the momentum of the shockwave. It seemed that as long as she continued to persevere, she could reverse the situation.
Si Ming's heart was in his throat. He wasn't sure if the other party could stop him. It seemed that the Netherworld Insect Princess had reached her limit, but she was still just a little bit short. If she were just a little bit stronger, she could completely break through the limit.
One step to heaven, one step to hell, and unfortunately, Si Ming could do nothing but pray to Buddha...
"Space-Shuttling Slash!"
An unexpected attack struck; it was Hongdou unleashing a blade of energy that pierced through space against Netherworld Insect Princess with her Purple Primal Emperor Slash.
The cultivation level at the Peak Spirit Transformation seemed so insignificant in this unprecedented battle, yet it became the final straw that broke the camel's back.
The Netherworld Insect Princess was struck by the blade's energy. The aura of decay surrounding her flickered slightly and dissipated. However, this tiny fluctuation completely triggered the avalanche.
The Buddha's light engulfed the petite figure, carrying her away into the distance, creating a deafening explosion that shook the earth and caused mountains to crumble. Instantly, the surrounding world was plunged into Hundun, the heavens and earth were upside down as far as the eye could see, thunder and lightning roared incessantly, and everything within a hundred miles was submerged.
