Five fingers plucked at the air like a pipa, stretching and brushing in ordered succession. Each seemed to strike some hidden node in the natural world, making matter crumble, the void shatter, and the laws run amok. Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water surged forth in a wild torrent, red, blue, yellow, and white bubbling like boiling rice porridge, thick and dangerous.
The Overlord's reverse-slashing saber sank into the torrent, slowing more and more as its power ran out. His body was on the verge of being swallowed by Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water.
Just then, the purple light vanished, strangely disappearing amid the chaotic four elements. It seemed to merge into illusion, launching an attack from another world.
The saber shadow appeared out of nowhere, cutting through a little of the red, blue, yellow, and white, and striking the back of Meng Qi's hand.
The collision made no sound. The saber shadow seemed to freeze against his skin. Before Meng Qi's eyes, obscured by the ethereal light hanging from the Taishang Limitless Yuan Shi Auspicious Cloud, something strange and dazzling unfolded: a pure-purple long saber burst from the void. It seemed to have slashed forth from the mysterious world of cause and effect, breaking through the Water Curtain hanging before the eaves!
This was the Overlord's peak saber strike, the one he had used to reverse-slash the Devil Lord. It went a step beyond "All that came before, vanishes like smoke and clouds." It could not only sever connections, but also use those connections to reverse-slash the true body.
Normally, the causal connection would also be dissolved by the Limitless Seal. But Meng Qi's attacking hands weren't protected by the Chaos Ethereal Light, so the Overlord could "borrow a form to attack the target," bypassing the Taishang Limitless Yuan Shi
