682 The Fierce Battle
From the Great Ultimate (Taiji), the Two Forms (Yin and Yang) were first generated.
The interaction of Yin and Yang, their mutual generation and restraint, their unity of opposites, is the essence of all things in the universe.
When Lu Li condensed the spirit star, a natural Taiji diagram was also created.
This is an ultimate balance; in the Immeasurable Realm, it is the outward manifestation of perfect cultivation.
Only when power reaches a point where it can be used at will and is omnipotent will it naturally manifest as a "Taiji diagram".
Lu Li kept staring at the Goddess with Closed Eyes, trying to comprehend this point, especially since she also contained the "future".
This isn't the first time someone has used such a method of quick thinking and counter-strategy in the heat of battle, but this time it's especially dangerous!
The Primal Trisolarans had already surrounded and attacked. The four-armed Demon Beast was all brute force, Lu Li could barely hold it off by concentrating gravity.
But the projection of that future had reached a state of perfection, and the gap between the two sides was like that between a steel plate and a wooden board.
With a gentle reach, the jade-like hand, as large as a galaxy, tore off Lu Li's right arm and handed it to his Primal body.
"As expected of the person I chose, they've managed to struggle until now."
Primal took Lu Li's severed arm, turned his hands into black holes to absorb it, and laughed at the same time:
"Next, I'll try to finish you off in three moves. Good luck!"
Before she could finish speaking, the goddess with her eyes closed pressed down on him, her delicate hand striking his chest.
The surrounding spacetime had been completely locked by the black hole's gravity, leaving Lu Li with nowhere to escape or hide. He could only raise his remaining left arm to defend himself.
Their hands slowly collided, looking completely unremarkable.
But immediately afterward, the spacetime at the point of collision collapsed abruptly, creating a medium-mass black hole.
A single basic attack was enough to shatter the vacuum and create a black hole!
Lu Li's only remaining left arm was also knocked off on the spot, leaving him wide open.
The goddess, of course, wouldn't let it go. She slapped her hand straight at Lu Li's chest.
This is the second move; it seems utterly ordinary, but its power is so great that it can create a black hole.
Having lost both arms, Lu Li could only endure the blows, expecting to lose 90% of his health before dying on the third attack, just as Primal intended.
Even when facing a dead end, Lu Li remained calm and kept his eyes fixed on the "Taiji diagram" behind his opponent, trying to comprehend the flow of power within it.
Only by comprehending Tai Chi in the subsequent attacks and achieving perfection in one's realm can one hope to turn the tide and have a "future".
The goddess's attack arrived as expected, striking him directly in the chest.
Suddenly, a dragon's roar resounded, and a phantom of a silver dragon head appeared at the point of impact.
Xiao Yu ran out to help block the attack; she actually tried to take the hit head-on, but luckily Lu Li held her back, only taking 20% of the damage.
The next second, the dragon head phantom, along with Lu Li's body, was blasted apart.
In the spirit realm, Xiao Yu let out a muffled groan as blood flowed from all seven orifices; he had already suffered a severe injury.
In Lu Li's spiritual realm, throughout his entire consciousness universe, fine cracks spread out, as if tempered glass was about to shatter!
Even the supermassive black hole at the very center is twitching and about to collapse out of control.
With a roar, the Xiao Yu struggled to rise into the air, channeling the spiritual energy of the star to stabilize this world.
It even voluntarily vomited more dragon blood to help the spirit realm heal.
The scene was so brutal that Gong Xue and the others watching were extremely distressed. They gritted their teeth and wished they could rush over and fight to the death.
From the perspective of the observer, after Lu Li's body shattered, large and small black holes collapsed around him, clearly caused by the aftershocks.
This disparity is truly disheartening!
The smile on Primal's face deepened, and together with Gu Wo, they firmly sealed off time and space to prevent their prey from escaping.
At the same time, let the projection of the future completely end Lu Li.
The goddess with her eyes closed unleashed two rounds of attacks, but they did not dissipate as before, indicating that the Primal had gained further control over the "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" technique.
Primal, we were also constantly learning, improving, and striving for excellence.
Lu Li had no chance of turning the tide, let alone escaping with his life.
At that moment, the goddess with her eyes closed raised her hand and grabbed him.
Lu Li has been severely weakened; he must be uprooted completely.
But he showed no sign of panic, remaining calm and composed with incredibly clear eyes. Then, he saw Lu Li close his eyes!?
"Could it be...?"
I had a Primal, so this was quite unexpected.
Sure enough, an arm reached out from the void behind Lu Li and grabbed the goddess's head!
The attack was received very smoothly, absorbing all the energy without any leakage.
If it weren't for the fact that both hands were as big as galaxies, it would really look like a fight between mortals.
Immediately afterwards, the person who blocked the attack emerged from the void.
Fair-skinned and tall, with a cold yet handsome face, it was Lu Li, "the future Lu Li"!
He also had his eyes closed, and behind him, where the Body Illumination, was a yin-yang Taiji diagram!
"You actually referenced my future!"
Primal carefully examined Lu Li and said approvingly:
"I'm becoming more and more satisfied with you. You really didn't just get lucky to obtain my true form... No, that mirror isn't my true form. Oh well, it doesn't matter."
The Primal One called back "himself from the future" and said with a smile:
"By the way, I also have some special insights... let's call it the Trinity."
As the words were spoken, the three Primal the past, present, and future blurred for a moment before their forms merged together, transforming into a three-headed, six-armed figure!
It's obvious at a glance that the power has increased dramatically; breaking through in battle isn't Lu Li's exclusive skill.
At this moment, Lu Li was busy repairing his body, so he had his future self stand in front of him.
The Primal didn't hold back either, and the Trinity charged straight at it.
Time and space are locked; there are no fancy tricks, just a head-on confrontation.
The present and future in the trinity throw punches, while the "past" spews black hole jets as a form of long-range attrition.
"Lu Li of the future" closed his eyes, rubbed his hands together to condense a dark longsword, and engaged in fierce combat with his opponent.
This is a black hole being shaped; my future self will be quite formidable.
But Lu Li's expression turned serious...
This move, "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones," is a summoned projection, not a true summoning of one's future self.
However, its underlying principle is to use gravity to disturb spacetime and generate echoes.
It's like a loan that needs to be repaid, especially since the projector might suffer a severe blow, and the consequences could be unpredictable.
This can be seen from the Primal battle strategy...
Her true form actively confronts the enemy head-on, absorbing all damage.
The future is merely supplementary, while the "past" is reduced to remote support.
"Lu Li of the future" wielded the Black Hole Sword, most of which struck his Primal body, leaving dark gashes.
No matter how skilled you are, it's still a 1v3 situation, a natural disadvantage.
The Primal fists slammed into "Lu Li of the future" repeatedly, creating dark dents.
After a three-second battle, the Primal himself rubbed his hands together and conjured a "black hole sword" as well!
After cutting off each other's arms, Lu Li dared not get hurt any more, so he sent his "future self" away with a thought.
Primal took a breath, pointed the "Black Hole Sword" at Lu Li, and the three heads laughed together:
"Your struggles bring me great pleasure. Anything else? Your inner state should be back to normal by now, right?"
Lu Li didn't speak, but after such a long time, his body had fully recovered, and behind him rose the phantom of a three-headed Demon Dragon.
It's time to decide the winner.
