Do young people really have to experience loss to achieve enlightenment?
Knowing that there is nothing that can be done, one should accept it as fate.
If your heart has something to aspire to, what fear is there of a long and arduous journey?
Huizhou City.
One after another, the Sequence User stared in disbelief at the battle in the sky, unsure how to react.
The entire sky had become a battlefield, with clouds churning and swirling.
The sun was low in the sky; dusk was approaching.
Light and darkness rise and fall in waves.
The glow of the sunset illuminated the heavens and the earth.
A sound like thunder echoed continuously from within the clouds.
The most dazzling light in history emanated from Light Fiend's body, illuminating the entire world. At this moment, he was like the sun, like light, like the Dao, and he uttered a long murmur.
"Light is the heart of the world, and the sun is the light of the world."
"Amnesty!!"
With a "clang," the light surged and receded, creating a turbulent wave.
One after another, humanoid creatures formed from light appeared above Li Chen, looking down at him with lifeless eyes that seemed to pierce through him, who was hidden in the Black Mist.
A whooshing sound rang out.
Almost simultaneously, all the light beings transformed into a blur and charged towards Li Chen, like a series of sharp blades.
Li Chen gripped the umbrella, his body enveloped in endless Black Mist that turned everything around him into a Mutation monster. A hint of solemnity flashed across his face as the umbrella instantly transformed into a black curtain, blocking all the light beings outside who were attacking him.
However, due to the sheer number of them, cracks soon appeared in the cover-up.
It vanished in an instant.
Pfft~
Suddenly, a figure of light rushed into Li Chen's body in the blink of an eye.
Tick-tock~ Tick-tock~
Blood dripped onto the ground, causing corrosion.
Li Chen's gaze was as dark as ink, his expression unwavering. Even as his body suffered this devastating impact, he did not take a single step back.
Light Fiend stood in the air like God, his body bathed in radiant light, while Li Chen was like a demon cast into hell, yet he showed no fear whatsoever.
The conflicting auras between the two sides have already caused the clouds to tear apart.
Everything around it was smoothed out.
Some mindless Eerie Monsters were crushed the moment they stepped into this aura.
Light Fiend shouted, "What spirit!"
But what followed was a series of delirious murmurs.
With a single step, Li Chen arrived in front of Light Fiend. His umbrella transformed into a sword, a spear, and all things, directly blasting Light Fiend thousands of meters away.
The Light Fiend followed immediately, their attacks completely unpredictable.
The collision between the two was like a black particle and a white particle colliding in mid-air, each impact producing a deafening roar that could be heard even in nearby cities.
The city walls of Huizhou City are already covered with those Sequence User.
Many people gasped in amazement.
The fact that the Eerie Lord could fight against the Light Fiend means that he has already entered the Wasteland Realm.
Who doesn't know the deeds of the Eerie Lord?
To enter the Wasteland Realm at no more than twenty years old—what an extraordinary talent!
Consider that after so many years of living in society and the secular world, not a single one of them could enter the wilderness, and you'll understand why they were so surprised.
Venturing into uncharted territory requires not only talent, but also luck.
Otherwise, why would the number of Human Race who have reached the Wasteland Realm be less than ten?
However, they weren't that worried.
Their home stadium is inland.
Three powerful figures from the Wasteland Realm have already appeared. Unless the Eerie Lord can defeat them one by one, the idea of annihilating the Human Race is just a joke.
But some people still looked worried.
The Eerie Lord has already created too many miracles; what if he really attacks?
Who can stop us?
Are they just ordinary people, these worthless nobodys?
Once this place falls, the chain reaction will leave Human Race utterly defenseless, and annihilation will be imminent.
"To challenge everyone in the world alone."
"Even if the Eerie Lord dies today, he will still be able to permeate the annals of Human Race history."
Not far away, Dunhuang, suspended in the air, gripped his fishing rod tightly, ready to hook Light Fiend back at any moment. However, he did not participate in the battle, because once the battle between the powerful beings of the Wasteland Realm began, it was a fight to the death. They did not cooperate with each other. If the Eerie Lord found an opportunity, he would defeat them one by one. Therefore, they could only fight a war of attrition. Even if Light Fiend was defeated, there were others who could cover for him. They only needed to defeat the Eerie Lord.
Yan Qing asked, "What do you think? Do you think Light Fiend can win?"
Dunhuang shook his head. He didn't know either. From what he saw now, it seemed that the Light Fiend had the upper hand, but ordinary people couldn't understand it. Did they still not understand it?
Light Fiend was consuming the energy he had accumulated over a long period of time to fight Li Chen. He seemed very strong, but in reality, he was no match for Eerie Lord. He could only rely on bursts of energy to force Eerie Lord to reveal a weakness, which could cause damage.
Moreover, they discovered something strange.
The Eerie Monsters near the Black Mist were dying little by little, dying silently even though they hadn't participated in the battle.
Yan Qing frowned and asked, "Something's not right. The healing speed of the Eerie Lord is a bit terrifying, and those Eerie Monsters are suddenly dying. Do you think it's possible that they're taking the hits?"
The ability to substitute for injury is one that once existed among Human Race.
It basically means that you can transfer the damage you receive to another creature.
The current situation of the Eerie Lord is very similar.
After all, these few powerful figures from the Wasteland Realm hadn't fought Li Chen much. The records stated that Vector Manipulation was his ability, but how many unknown abilities had he used? Could it all be caused by Vector Manipulation? That's obviously impossible. So all the logic that should apply to humans is like a lie in his case; it's all false information.
Yan Qing unfurled his wings, gripped the Blazing Sword, and transformed into a dazzling raging flame, swiftly attacking the Eerie Monsters and giving Li Chen no chance whatsoever.
Dunhuang hesitated for a few seconds but didn't move. He needed to keep an eye on Light Fiend's condition so he could take over for him.
Now, the Supreme Being Human Race cannot be reduced in number before the death of the Eerie Lord, which inevitably leads to unforeseen changes.
At this moment, the Light Fiend also began to show signs of fatigue.
Although his body was illuminated by light, clear fist marks and knife marks could still be seen, and black mist swirled around his torn chest, making him look extremely terrifying.
Li Chen, however, remained calm and composed, his body unmoved, and even the hem of his clothes was not torn at all.
Li Chen's voice echoed throughout the heavens and earth, "You can't win."
"This world is ultimately just an ordinary world. Every ability has its limits, but I have no limits. Even if you all come at me together, it's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot—you're just overestimating yourselves."
"The abilities you possess are merely permitted by the rules, but they are not yours; they were stolen from the world's rules."
What is stolen will eventually be returned.
Light Fiend's pupils contracted slightly, and even the light emanating from his body seemed to dim somewhat. He quickly asked, "Have you found that path?"
"Have you found the Path to Godhood?"
"Ha... the Path to Godhood." Li Chen looked up at the sky, sneered, and muttered, "What Path to Godhood is there? This is a dead end. Human Race have no gods, nor can they ascend to godhood. What makes a human capable of becoming God? Just this mortal body?"
He wasn't just talking about the Light Fiend, he was also talking about himself.
That's who I used to be.
