Crossing Blades II

Fusheng kept his head down, clearly still unable to figure it out.

But it doesn't matter, Lin Hui can no longer sense any death intent from the other party.

He smiled, checked the timeline to confirm that the Heavenly Demon was also dead, and pointed again.

Suddenly, a chubby little white thing appeared out of thin air on the steps between the second and first floors.

"Aba aba aba!" The demon pounced and rushed towards Lin Hui, bouncing around on his shoulder with great joy.

"You can clearly transform into human form, so why did you choose this one?" Lin Hui asked with a smile.

The Heavenly Demon didn't answer, but instead squeezed Lin Hui's cheek hard.

"Let's go back, I have things to do." Lin Hui pinched her cheek, then flashed out of the palace. He glanced back at the plaque, and a thought struck him.

They immediately changed the signboard back to the Heart Source Demon Palace.

Leaving his Mind Sea, he floated in the void, traversing continuously, and soon returned to the Core District Clear Jade Mountain.

The original Clear Jade Mountain courtyard still stands, but without the protection of the Wind Energy, it has long since become ruins.

The once enormous Pear Tree has long since withered and died, and has even been completely charred and petrified.

The vast surrounding derivative areas, and the giant world sphere cluster that formed around this place, have long since disappeared.

There was only a small, gray-white hill, with a gray-white courtyard on its summit, floating alone in the void.

Lin Hui instantly entered the courtyard, his mind racing.

hiss...

Everything around them began to rapidly reverse time, returning from ruin to wholeness, and figures that should have long since perished and vanished reappeared.

Xia Si, Lin Yuexiu, Yun Xiazi, Su Yaping, Wu Anning, and even Tao Xuehai Yan Qiushi were all there.

"By doing this, you will only create more chaos. They were revived by you, and everything they do from now on will represent your will," Yi suddenly said.

"Our positions are like reefs in a river, obstructing much of the flow. Any destruction that reaches us will lead to a dead end. This in itself is an obstacle that violates the cycle. If you continue like this..."

"Then what's the point of my cultivation?" Lin Hui suddenly interrupted him, speaking quietly.

"Your actions will only make the Source Disaster stronger," Yi paused, then added as a final sentence.

Lin Hui said no more.

At his level, he naturally understands these principles.

The cycle of all things, the alternation of birth and death, is indeed a profound truth. By forcibly reviving these people, he has indeed disrupted this cycle.

Every living being is bound to interact with all things, creating cause and effect. The cause and effect created by these people he revived will only become indestructible, stubborn rocks.

They will clog more loops, thus causing more Source Disaster.

This is like going to a casino where you can only win and never lose.

In the end, no casino can tolerate you continuing to gamble. Winning a little is fine, but winning too much will force the casino to close down.

"I understand... but there's still a solution..." Lin Hui smiled. "Just because you can't do it doesn't mean I can't."

He reached out and made a gesture.

In an instant, the entire Clear Jade Mountain vanished into the void, completely isolated by a powerful seal that could not be broken.

"They have already disappeared normally, and are now in a state of severing all causal ties. Since that's the case, let this state continue," Lin Hui said calmly.

"As long as there is no cause and effect, and no interaction with the outside world, the cycle will not be blocked."

Yi, positioned at the rear, was speechless.

Only Lin Hui can accomplish this, because he is now the Growth of All Things, the epitome of Void Life.

Only he can create new original particles out of thin air without affecting anything else, thus filling the void left by those he revived.

"Teacher!"

"Master!"

"Disciple, I can't believe I'll get to see Master again!? Is this some kind of illusion!?"

The disciples, now fully awake, looked at Lin Hui with expressions ranging from excitement to agitation.

Yi watched everything coldly from behind.

"They're like toys now, just catering to your every need, which is meaningless."

"Do you want me to resurrect your old friend? I'll help you for free," Lin Hui said with a smile via telepathy.

"Don't bother calculating it."

"Want!"

Lin Hui smiled silently.

All consciousness, especially those born into a group, is inherently lonely; it's just that they can't accept it and force themselves to get used to it.

Even the person who enjoys solitude will eventually need to return to a group for a period of time, otherwise many of their qualities will deteriorate.

After calming the disciples for a while, Lin Hui announced that Clear Jade Mountain would henceforth be a self-contained realm, no longer interacting with the outside world. Similarly, the Heart Source Demon Palace had also been restored.

After leaving Clear Jade Mountain, Lin Hui floated in the void and looked back at Yi.

"Now, do you still think there's a problem with me wanting to replace the Wind Disaster?"

"It's meaningless," Yi replied.

"Let me lend a hand. We're both of the True Status, so before the final battle against the Wind Disaster, I'll test my skills against you first," Lin Hui said with a smile.

What would a top-tier Celestial Venerable of True Status really be like when they make a move? Yi is a good reference point.

"It would be pointless for us to fight each other," Yi replied.

Ignoring everything else, Lin Hui slowly drew his sword.

The Primordial Golden Crow Sword has now turned completely white, devoid of the Golden Crow's resentment, and containing only endless, pure power of complexity.

"You can't hurt me. In terms of combat, I'm invincible," Yi Ping said calmly. "Because combat itself is a form of change."

"How will you know if you don't try?" Lin Hui said with a smile.

He raised his longsword and said meaningfully.

"You'd better be careful, or you might get pregnant if my sword touches you."

Yi was speechless.

Swish!

In an instant, Lin Hui vanished and reappeared behind Yi, unleashing a sword strike.

The distance of millions of light-years between the two was traversed in an instant.

Despite its extremely high speed, the sword merely grazed Yi's body without any physical contact.

It was as if he himself were a phantom shadow.

"What's the point of attacking change itself with changing sword techniques?" Yi stood still, not even moving, letting Lin Hui draw his sword.

Before he could finish speaking, he was instantly split into hundreds of billions of fragments, each of which swelled up individually.

"Live! Live! Live!!"

A common voice echoed among all the fragments.

Pfft.

In the next instant, one becomes two, two become four, four become eight, and in the blink of an eye, they differentiate into an infinite number of densely packed beings.

All his fragments rapidly become pregnant, give birth, and then cycle again, their own Change Status accelerating this process.

What's most disgusting is that the offspring that sprouted from his fragmented body didn't obey his commands at all. Instead, they quickly grew into their current forms and then turned around to attack his original, reassembled body.

A series of blurry human figures surrounded Yi, their attacks occurring silently and with extremely weak fluctuations.

It's just like a fight between ordinary people.

However, the difficulties involved are completely incomprehensible to outsiders.

When faced with change, it comes down to who can understand the other's changes faster and who can adapt to them more effectively.

After Lin Hui unleashed his sword strike, he retreated to a safe distance and watched the battle from the sidelines.

He suppressed the opposing Change Status with his Void Life position, and then combined the power of Propagation with the power of multiplication to erode Yi's true form.

This has led to the current situation.

While dealing with the attacks from the surrounding sub-entities, Yi's own body continued to regenerate!

He clearly had no gender, yet his belly was arrogantly bursting open, sending out countless new little Yis.

These little ones grew rapidly after they appeared, and immediately turned around and attacked their father with all their might.

Their strength and status both come from Yi, and their source of power is also Yi, which means they are fighting against each other internally.

Puff puff puff puff!!

Despite the fact that each tiny piece of Yi was continuously annihilated by Yi's repeated strikes, each one a slap of black light.

However, his own strength was also rapidly depleting.

Only then did he realize how disgusting Lin Hui was. Although he had calculated similar scenarios before, there was still a difference between calculation and personal experience.

With a whoosh, Yi swiftly withdrew and created distance. He then made a sweeping motion with his bare hand in front of him.

Suddenly, a constantly shifting and insurmountable chasm appeared between him and his offspring.

It was thanks to this chasm that he had time to rest for a while.

"Propagation is prohibited here." Suddenly, he pointed downwards.

In an instant, an unimaginably vast and real force enveloped the area.

The next moment, the Yi Zi body, which had been continuously Propagation and growing, suddenly stopped and froze completely.

Soon, their bodies became completely transparent and vanished into thin air.

"Oh? You're going overboard like this?" Lin Hui said in surprise. "That's right. At our level, the nine-times limit for ordinary Heavenly Venerables is already no longer an obstacle. But you should think carefully. Once you start going overboard, it might shake your position. Your position is not as high as mine, so don't blame me for bullying you later."

Yi didn't answer immediately, but completely disintegrated and disappeared the last bit of Yi. At this moment, a black longsword appeared in his hand.

"This area is designated as the boundary. Regardless of who wins in the end, we can restore this place to its original state."

"Good!"

Lin Hui laughed, drew his sword, and suddenly flashed, instantly splitting into dozens of people.

Not only that, but those dozens of "him" then split again, becoming hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands...

In the blink of an eye, tens of millions of Lin Hui appeared out of thin air around Yi, hovering around him with swords in hand.

What's most terrifying is that each of these Lin Hui possesses the exact same powerful aura, making them definitely not offspring.

This is the terrifying aspect of the power of complexity.

"Within this area, the limit for any change is once per second." Lin Hui smiled and spoke simultaneously.

hiss...

An invisible wave spreads and oscillates within a diameter of millions of light-years.

Instantly, both he and Yi were restricted. Yi's super-fast change state was quickly slowed down and solidified. The limitation of once per second caused his body to quickly stabilize from being blurry and unclear to changing its form every second.

Only then did Lin Hui see clearly what his true form was.

He seems to exist in every form imaginable—men and women, young and old, tall and short, fat and thin—and never repeats himself.

"My transformations are not as good as yours, but my rank is higher. Isn't using an extraordinary move just a way to intimidate others with my rank?" Lin Hui laughed as he drew his sword and advanced.

He may not be as good as his opponent in terms of adaptability, but that's okay. He can just bring his opponent down to his own level.

In this instant, the two were like novice swordsmen, exchanging blows in the void, one move per second.

However... the difference is that Lin Hui was attacked by tens of millions of people, while Yi floated in the very center and was overwhelmed by countless Lin Hui as soon as he made his first move.
