One Hundred Billion
In the blink of an eye, a thousand-meter-tall humanoid figure rose from the ground, filling the entire Ghost Domain realm.
Its entire body was deathly pale, as if filtered through a fine-tuned lens, with a cold, hard metallic sheen flowing across its surface. Layers upon layers of alchemical runes entwined its body, flowing slowly beneath its pale shell like blood vessels.
The true form of the [Alchemical Puppet]!
The Alchemy Field glowed with pure white light, transforming the surrounding primeval forest ruins, along with the [ghost], into energy.
Logically speaking, if someone is inexplicably ambushed, they should mutter some strange things to themselves before preparing to retaliate.
But the Alchemical Puppet doesn't like to talk much.
The Killing Rule chains, which had been automatically replenished to nine hundred, floated out from His original small avatar, rapidly expanding hundreds of times and wrapping around His body, adding another layer of defense to His tempered body.
His pale body Perfect, and in his unfathomable spiritual world, a terrifyingly Pure Soul stood.
However, Black Flames Burn wildly on it.
Perhaps the Alchemical Puppet's senses were exceptionally sharp, or perhaps Su Luo's advancement was still too early for her to keep up...
The Heartfire's anti-sensory mechanisms, penetration, and Antimeme properties seemed to be immune to it, and the Alchemical Puppet detected it directly.
But it still couldn't be extinguished, no matter how His [Pure Soul] changed or how He used [adaptation].
The Heartfire continued to Burn silently, Evolution without ceasing, covering His entire soul, and even Spread to His physical body in the real world.
"It's not even [Unity of Spirit and Flesh], how can the soul and body be so completely separated?"
Su Luo was somewhat surprised.
[Unity of Spirit and Flesh] is not a difficult thing. Su Luo achieved it a long time ago. Almost everyone who can reach the level of Thirty Attributes has one.
"It seems the [Pure Soul] Path and the [Infinite Life] Path haven't been properly integrated."
Su Luo seemed to be deep in thought.
Although Su Luo has just been promoted, her foundation is still shallow.
But this [Alchemical Puppet] doesn't seem to have a very deep foundation.
Before the Alchemical Puppet's [Pure Soul] could even display its power, it was continuously Ignite by Su Luo's Heartfire, with its internal energy, soul body, and even knowledge being constantly plundered.
He slowly raised his head, temporarily abandoning his attempt to extinguish the fire, and focused his attention on Su Luo, who was still spreading her domain in the distance.
If you could see the soul's health bar, the [Pure Soul]'s health bar was decreasing at a rate of one percent per second, but the rate of health regeneration was far greater than one percent per second. It only required consuming some energy to replenish it, and there was no need to even use immortality.
At this level of combat, the ability to recover a massive amount of health in a short period of time seems to have become standard practice.
The Alchemical Puppet raised its hand, and the skeletal structure within its body flowed out, transforming into a three-thousand-meter-long curved blade, radiating an almost blinding white light.
That was because the outer layer of the entire blade was undergoing endless nuclear fusion, and the escaping photons were running around randomly, entering Su Luo's domain and being devoured.
The first step in high-level combat is often reconnaissance and probing. Su Luo's senses were mostly focused around the Alchemical Puppet, keeping a close watch on it.
"Something's not right with this knife..."
The theoretical temperature for nuclear fusion is generally hundreds of millions of degrees, but the overall temperature of this long sword is maintained at minus 273 degrees, in an extremely cold state, yet it continues to undergo nuclear fusion continuously.
With a sharp, gleaming light, the Alchemical Puppet swung its longsword, unleashing an attack imbued with terrifying heat at pseudo-light speed toward Su Luo.
A temperature of hundreds of billions of degrees!
The terrifying heat of the [Extreme Supernova Explosion] level scalded the fragile space of [Ghost Domain Game], creating bursts of Ethereal. It easily pierced through the edge of Su Luo's Ten Thousand Laws Domain, forcibly pushing it dozens of kilometers before being swallowed up by the [Ten Thousand Laws Domain].
Three thousand kilometers away, I'll be able to break through to Su Luo's side.
High temperatures are always a smooth road; temperatures of hundreds of billions of degrees can easily tear atomic nuclei apart into Quark soup. The precision of the [Ten Thousand Laws Domain] has not yet reached below that of the atomic nucleus.
At the top floor, countless layers of sword light, each worth billions of degrees, overlapped, unleashing more than a dozen strikes per second.
Su Luo acknowledged the alchemical puppet's attack.
"It turns out that some kind of catalyst changed the conditions for nuclear fusion to almost zero, and all the energy was stored as the flash of light."
Su Luo finally understood.
Nuclear fusion, a method in which most of the energy is released directly, is actually very wasteful of energy.
Even in the early days of the Little Broken Ball, muon-catalyzed nuclear fusion existed, so it's normal for the Alchemical Puppets to have a higher level of technology; their energy utilization efficiency is truly astonishing.
The continuous stream of sword light broke through the Ten Thousand Laws Domain, and after several minutes, it forcefully advanced to Su Luo's main body.
With Heartfire, it accepted all blade strikes without hesitation and rapidly increased its temperature ceiling from 30 billion degrees to 100 billion degrees.
The [Pure Soul] of the Alchemical Puppet faces even more terrifying Burn from the Heartfire, and its various soul defenses are constantly being updated and iterated, resulting in ever-increasing energy consumption.
Both sides are constantly evolving their methods of attacking and defending the soul, as if they are engaged in an arms race.
You developed a soul structure specifically designed to suppress the Infestation of the Heartfire, and in the next instant Infestation, the Heartfire Evolution Heartfire Infestation Attribute specifically designed to counter Heartfire soul structure; you adapted to the ability to devour the Heartfire's energy, Heartfire Evolution the ability to counteract being devoured...
At the same time, the alchemical puppet's [Alchemy Field] also Spread out from the top layer, layer by Spread, and clashed with Su Luo's [Ten Thousand Laws Domain].
Although the amount of mass energy in [Ghost Domain Game] is pitifully small, every little bit helps.
Both sides kept making various subtle moves, testing each other's abilities.
Su Luo felt pleased.
During the battle, various abilities and skills are constantly improving, and the speed of Evolution is constantly accelerating.
This was a long-awaited combat experience for Su Luo, unlike the previous battles where she either crushed weaker opponents or got kicked to death.
The [Alchemical Puppet] realized that its own adaptation was helping the other party to rapidly increase its strength, so it quickly stopped probing. The Runes on its body surface flowed rapidly, and its internal structure changed.
[Alchemy - Imitation God Corpse]
His Constitution increased several times in an instant, from 32.2 to 32.6, and he strode towards Su Luo.
Su Luo was about to hide when she noticed something was wrong.
Above the entire [Ghost Domain Game], atop the tall buildings, the "sky" that never existed before suddenly appeared, as if some kind of will had descended.
A pair of merciless eyes replaced the sky, accompanied by the materialized chain of Killing Rules that had been kicked to death by the Heartfire.
[Ghost Domain] My true self.
These chains were no longer weak; they became indestructible and omnipotent, piercing through space and directly through Su Luo and the Alchemical Puppet.
Needless to say, Su Luo's body was crumbling like paper, especially the newly forged [Imitation God Corpse] of the [Alchemical Puppet].
"Eliminate everything you don't like."
