Immortal Chi Yuan VS Su Qing'an

The vast courtyard where the Martial Arts Gathering was held was instantly covered by the chilling, frost-like Heaven and Earth Qi. A sudden gust of wind roared, and the sharp, swift air currents brushed against the skin like knives, giving off a chilling killing intent. This completely awakened the guests who had just regained consciousness from the music.

But whether it was Li Shishi, who was preparing to appear later as the Courtesan and was currently in a pavilion in the courtyard, or the group of martial artists closest to the boy, the servants at the door, the other guards and servants, at that moment they could only stare in bewilderment at the physical phenomena manifested by the vast, ocean-like flow of Heaven and Earth Qi falling nearby.

Su Qing'an still retained some rationality. His Manas Consciousness allowed him to manipulate the Heaven and Earth Qi with unprecedented precision, ensuring that this magnificent and imposing force did not affect any unrelated personnel.

All the Qi gathered here solely for this immortal who could make the body ravenous. The extremely perfect shaping control not only allowed the other onlookers to be spared, but also prevented any signs of Honkai Infection.

This is a powerful force unique to the Manas consciousness.

Under the shaping of the [Stigmata], the Heaven and Earth Qi is like a toy trapped in a cage, freely kneaded into the posture and shape desired by the heart.

As the boy made his move, his subconscious thought was to unleash a fierce and deadly strike.

What is thus revealed is truly an endless expanse, like a river or frost and snow, with ripples spreading outwards like flowing water, and extremely sharp cold currents transforming into misty White Comet that entwine endlessly.

Marked by the moment the zither string snapped, the slash shattered the Honkai Energy Domain that the immortal habitually deployed in the lingering echo, and immediately reached the vicinity of his body.

In a sudden turn of events.

The crimson hue in the immortal's eyes slowly spread, and the radiance of Udu-dust intertwined with the phenomenon of gene activation.

Consciousness grants bullet-time-like judgment and thought speed.

Gene activation has elevated the fighting instinct to an unprecedented level, a level not seen in thousands of years.

The dark sword energy, resembling swimming fish, first protected Xiao Xuan, who was nearby and had been blown crooked by the strong wind, pulling him away from the battlefield.

The girl's black hair, swaying in the strong wind, blended with the frost-like shimmering water. She raised her head to look at Su Qing'an, who was still in the posture of playing the zither, and slowly stretched out her fair hand and flicked it, shattering the incomparably powerful slash.

She was taken aback.

This familiar Honkai Energy structure and spiritual manipulation method.

Some unresolved issues in my heart have now revealed definitive answers.

Su Qing'an has found her own inspiration Meme and arrangements, so even without the relevant memories, her every move and gesture can incorporate similar attack methods.

However, since he is currently attacking solely on instinct, the flaws he creates are far too easy for Fu Hua, the original developer, to find, which is why he has achieved such Irresistible Force victory.

Although she didn't yet understand why the other party would attack her, she had already grasped one thing from this detail.

If Su Qing'an didn't find his inspiration arrangement before he died in the Nine Nether Netherworlds, it can only prove that he had experienced another cycle of reincarnation that he was unaware of.

As the other party's martial arts teacher, Fu Hua naturally knew how far he was from reaching this level. Even considering the other party's talent, this was not a core skill that could be mastered in a short period of time, such as a day.

Even disregarding this detail, a similar conclusion can be drawn simply by observing the origin and occurrence of this attack, as well as the opponent's reaction.

Because the Su Qing'an he knew in the past did not possess such exaggerated Honkai Energy literacy.

Within a mere breath, the girl deduced that this was neither the cosmic cycle constructed by the Void Sword Qi, nor the Great Honkai energy generated by the Fusion Warrior's body, nor the Imaginary Space permission granted by the Herrscher Core.

At the same time, she roughly guessed where the strange Celestial Phenomenon that occurred half a month ago came from.

If the answer is truly as one imagines, then even if Su Qing'an has lost most of her memories, she would still be abnormally strong.

The immortal was overwhelmed with mixed feelings. In one cycle after another, the boy who would have turned to [Ashes] under the Honkai Infection had grown to a level that was difficult to protect, just as the immortal realized the truth.

Su Qing'an, who had no recollection of Fu Hua, naturally didn't care about her thoughts. In her dark pupils, a colorful tapestry rippled like a sea, revealing an ultimate, harmonious holiness.

The genetic modification process involved the soul, and once the final result was closely linked to the body, the instinctive desires and cravings that were passively generated could be used to exploit this connection. This made him, whose consciousness was blank, unable to resist it, and his gentle nature could not evoke much empathy for a stranger.

Then.

Su Qing'an slowly rose, his wide sleeves fluttering in the wind. He gazed at the Heaven and Earth Qi shattered into countless silver flowers, without the slightest thought of stopping. His Manas consciousness almost instantly revealed the flaw that would have been easily shattered, correcting it to nothing.

Once the [Stigmata] is complete, the limitations of time and space can be ignored. Even without the myriad illusions that Udu-dust extends as limbs, it can still autonomously draw and release the Heaven and Earth Qi within its domain.

The Celestial Phenomenon that the Immortal Chi Yuan witnessed was shaped by this.

And from the fact that she couldn't see where the Heaven and Earth Qi and Earth gathered from that day, combined with this ability, we can draw a conclusion.

If the young man were willing, Fu Hua's surroundings... even the Heaven and Earth Qi within her body would lose its sovereignty, turning into blades to plunder at will, while she herself would be unable to detect or interfere.

In other words...

Within a certain range, without considering the absorption rate and capacity of the [Stigmata], even the Immortal Chi Yuan could potentially perish directly under this bugged ability.

This is still under the premise that the [Stigmata] conceptually seals the enemy's abilities and they cannot be used for the time being.

After Su Qing'an experienced a dimensional ascension, he was banished to the mortal realm, losing all his memories and almost all his power, thus creating a thick barrier between him and the beings below him.

If he truly wanted to kill someone now, few in this world could stop him.

But almost the instant that person stood up, the Immortal Chi Yuan ascended into the Clouds.

Her innate sense of crisis, honed through countless trials, allowed her to transcend the earth's constraints almost without realizing what was about to happen, allowing her to ride the wind and traverse thousands of miles across rivers and lakes.

What happened?

It's hard to understand, and it's impossible to comprehend.

The immortal's eyes were filled with confusion. The slowly extinguishing gene activation within his body did not offer any warning. However, his experience of reaching the Manas consciousness and then declining was enough to allow the realm of the Path of Path of Sincerity to evolve again, and even to a certain extent, to see through near-life and death and the future.

She glanced at the boy who was almost upon her, and in an instant, relying on her ingrained combat experience, she widened the distance again, lightly flicking her sleeve.

Gene Ability and the vast, boundless Heaven and Earth Qi formed a perfect, rule-like formula, causing the clouds within a vast expanse to dissipate, replaced by a magnificent sunset bursting with rolling thunder.

We cannot hold back, nor should we.

This old friend, whom he has encountered again, possesses the ability to disregard the Immortal Gene and annihilate him.

Her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and her white robe was as white as snow.

The boy stood in the clear sky where the clouds had dispersed. His young face was innocent and aloof. His pupils swelled with a distorted, colorful sea, a sense of ultimate harmony mixed within, like a spilled paint palette, chaotic and disordered.

Su Qing'an's mind, sealed within his body, constantly yearned to break free from its cage and return to the realm of ascension. His Planetary-class essence unleashed an unquenchable greed and craving, kneading and manipulating his consciousness. He was like a feather trapped in an abyss, forced to follow the tide, unable to be free.

The Celestial Phenomenon altered by the Immortal Chi Yuan Honkai Energy that they couldn't even get close. The rolling thunder was extinguished before his eyes, and all the colorful clouds dimmed from thousands of miles away. After the flaws in the original ability of the [Stigmata] were made up for, he seemed to have the priority permission of an administrator for any being in the world that could manipulate Honkai energy. Conventional methods could no longer have any effect on him.

For life forms like Fusion Warrior that rely on Honkai Energy as their life source, [Stigmata] are more like having a natural power of life and death over them, domineering and unreasonable.

Fu Hua had not yet grasped the essence of the opponent's ability, but the Path of Sincerity warned her not to get within a hundred miles of the opponent, or her life would be in danger.

On the other hand, this battle seemed too inexplicable to the girl. Having just inherited the memories of two different timelines, she had no way of dealing with Su Qing'an.

That woven web of emotions, gradually threatening to become poison, is the trigger that prevents one from truly unleashing their full potential.

Fu Hua has a method that guarantees she can kill Su Qing'an.

If one can elevate the sword heart into the Manas consciousness and enter Ascended State, killing him in his current state would indeed not be a difficult task.

Su Qing'an had nothing except the [Stigmata].

The Manas consciousness was sealed within the body, more than 99% of the skills were forgotten, the power of [creation] was nearly extinguished, and the physical abilities were those of a child who was the same inside and out.

The Immortal Chi Yuan, having ascended to the Ascended State, briefly possessed the world and ignored the [Stigmata] that severed that person's frail body.

But... from beginning to end, this plan never even crossed my mind.

She will indeed still be bound by the promise to Shenzhou, and she will still be unable to shake off the responsibility of fighting against the Honkai. At the same time, she will still be turned into wood by Xiao Xuan, and she will be said to be heartless and devoid of desire during the years of slaying demons and monsters.

But these things are neither above him nor related to him.

Fu Hua can accept her own death, but she cannot accept truly hurting Su Qing'an.

Therefore, she was destined never to reach the level of a true [Sword God], and could only allow the opponent's [Stigmata] to invade at will, forcing her to retreat step by step.

After the Immortal Chi Yuan used the Imaginary Space Permission of the Key of Consciousness to continuously extract Honkai Energy and create Celestial Phenomenon in an attempt to delay and test the opponent's progress, she had to admit that the opponent's abilities were even more pure, direct, and terrifying than she had initially imagined.

--Absorb Honkai Energy.

Or rather, it's a phenomenon that absorbs Honkai Energy and can release it back over a distance.

At this point, she finally understood why she had such a strong sense of crisis.

The so-called warning within a hundred miles means that once you are within this distance, the other party has the right to directly absorb the Honkai Energy from your body remotely.

Once Honkai Energy, the source of the Gene Ability —immortality—is completely eliminated, life will also perish.

But this makes it even clearer what the conclusion is.

In other words, Su Qing'an did not initially intend to kill himself.

Otherwise, at the moment of meeting and conversation, the other party could have extracted most of the Honkai Energy from his body, depriving him of the chance to escape, and there would be no chase like this.

Perhaps it's a lingering effect from the previous cycle of reincarnation, or perhaps the other person possesses some kind of chemical reaction that ferments upon meeting them, leading to the current situation.

Prior to this, Fu Hua had always believed that Su Qing'an had lost most of her memories and was physically weak, which was why she lived in a brothel.

But after witnessing the opponent's undeniable combat prowess, she was certain that his current state was not merely a matter of amnesia; it likely involved a deeper level of change.

Having clarified the above conclusions, Fu Hua found it even more difficult to attack Su Qing'an, but targeting the weaknesses of the [Stigmata] ability and delaying the attack was not difficult.

This ability can provide any extended phenomena related to Honkai Energy, but it cannot resist the physical phenomena caused by the interference of pure aftershocks.

Rather than simply using Gene Ability and becoming the opponent's Honkai Energy reserve, cleverly exploiting this weakness, which isn't really a weakness, is a much better way to buy time.

If possible, she would like to try to use the illusionary force extended by Udu-dust to intervene and guide it, thereby resolving this nonsensical war.

Unfortunately, this power, which was harnessed from Honkai Energy, was also subject to the absorption of the opponent's abilities.

She unconsciously began to compare the boy in front of her with the enemies encountered by the Previous Civilization, only to find that even the Herrscher of Restraint, who left a very deep impression, could be included in the concept of Honkai Energy phenomena because his energy source was Honkai Energy.

If the opponent's ability truly lies in the conceptual realm, then calling them the nemesis of Herrscher wouldn't be an exaggeration.

The danger level of someone possessing such abilities becoming an enemy is self-evident.

Su Qing'an was very hungry.

The boy's tender fingers parted the clouds on the horizon, his body propelled by the explosion and thrust of pure Honkai Energy, approaching the distant black dot.

He is ultimately too incomplete now. Although he can clearly use his manas consciousness to reproduce the ability to change Celestial Phenomenon that only Gene Ability can manifest, he cannot use the [Thousand Stars] of the past. This is due to the blank in his cognition and the loss of his reason.

However, the Manas consciousness strangely records the way the fugitive manipulates Honkai Energy, thereby modifying and altering his movement speed.

If this trend continues, Fu Hua will eventually be forced into battle by an area within 100 kilometers of it.

Before this scene unfolded, the immortal chose to land.

The girl's speed clearly exceeded the speed of sound, yet her posture on the ground remained as light and ethereal as clouds and smoke. Her snow-white hair swayed slightly at the tips as she turned her head to look at the approaching familiar face, her lips moving slightly:

"Earthquake."

The earth's veins, located extremely far from the Capital City, roared in unison.

As the immortal moved, the continental plates seemed to be pried open by a god, accurately predicting the opponent's landing point before it even got close. The immortal used the extremely deep earth veins to form a huge lever to support it, creating a deafening roar.

Su Qing'an's body was almost forced to fall in a parallel position at the same time, but he immediately rode the wind. However, what followed was a surge of monsters that used Honkai Energy as thin lines to shape rocks into several dragon shapes, covering the area in a dense network of attacks.

The [Stigmata] instantly absorbed all the Honkai Energy, but the rocks that had accumulated to a great height fell down like meteorites, carrying immense potential energy.

At this point, Fu Hua discovered a flaw beyond her abilities.

Unable to release the Manas consciousness, nor to transform it back into its original soul form, the boy who used the exploration technique, having forgotten the skills of Honkai Energy Domain and perception, could only rely on his naked eye vision and instinctive perception of the Heaven and Earth Qi to extract and control Honkai Energy.

But why did I encounter a crisis within a hundred kilometers?

This can only be explained by the fact that Su Qing'an has a unique way of perceiving his own existence.

To put it simply, it's about the craving for food and the tracking instinct of Planetary-class cubs.

Having grasped this point, the girl now possessed the plan and ability to kill her opponent without entering the Ascended State.

A mindless beast and a battle-hardened warrior.

Even with a significant gap in strength, in a battle between two people, as long as the former has even a slight opening that can be exploited, there is a risk of death.

If this war continues, a fight to the death will inevitably break out sooner or later.

And ultimately, he couldn't bring himself to lay a hand on him.

She thought that if she had to choose between life and death, it didn't matter if it was selfish or foolish; she just wanted to face it.

So the girl silently watched the figure emerge unharmed from among the myriad rocks, but did not turn away again.

This time, Udu-dust concealed its brilliance, returning to formlessness and colorlessness, thus illuminating the world.

This is the last one.

With a distance of nearly a hundred miles between them, the other party's abilities are limited by their own state, and at extreme speeds, they are unlikely to be able to detect Udu-dust's powers.

If this successfully guides their consciousness, then everyone will be happy.

If we fail, let's just consider it... the price for breaking the contract last time.

The boy stepped out from the smoke and dust, his dark pupils twisting with an alien color yet carrying a certain purity. As she had expected, the [Stigmata] had not been able to filter out the power of consciousness, but the Mana consciousness completely ignored it.

From the very beginning, the possibility of interfering with Su Qing'an's consciousness did not exist.

The essence of the eternal Manas consciousness is the mountain that the Chi Yuan cannot move.

Looking into the depths of that person's eyes, filled with longing and desire, and sensing the trembling and shrinking of the Benares genes within her, Fu Hua finally understood the true answer to the current situation.

She closed her eyes and whispered to herself.

It's appetite.
