"A long-lost power... what a wonderful feeling."
Duanlang felt the power within his body, then raised the giant axe.
"So..."
"In this second round, I'll let you ignorant insects witness its true power!"
Duanlang stretched out his demonic claw, gently stroked the axe blade, and uttered its true name.
"Raging Wave Axe! Go!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
"Buzz!"
The giant axe broke free from Duanlang's grasp and shot towards the sea surface above!
What does he want to do?
Zhang Lingqi raised his head, his brows furrowed, staring at the axe-like light that disappeared into the darkness.
"Hehehe..."
Duanlang let out a low, cold laugh.
"A battle naturally needs a stage worthy of it."
"Rolling around in this filthy, stifling mud is not befitting of my status as a commander."
The next second.
"Boom!"
The entire First Sea Region of Prayer Deep Pool seemed to have been hit by a magnitude 10 earthquake!
The Raging Wave Axe that burst from the sea swelled in mid-air, swelled by the wind.
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a giant axe as large as a mountain!
Immediately afterwards, the giant axe cleaved down from above, cleaving towards the sea!
"Splash!"
A breathtaking scene unfolded, one that defies description!
The vast, boundless black deep sea was actually split in two by this move!
The seawater on both sides was like two towering walls of water reaching into the clouds, blocked by an invisible force, unable to advance an inch!
A massive, vertical fault channel, hundreds of meters wide and several kilometers long, has appeared on the seabed!
The air, thick with wind and rain, rushed in instantly!
Everyone, including the Machine God, was immediately freed from the water pressure of the deep sea and exposed to the torrential rain once again!
"Is this... is this something a human could do?"
Zhang Lingqi stood on the dried-up seabed rock.
Looking at the towering cliffs on either side, seemingly about to collapse at any moment, he felt a profound, soul-stirring shock.
This earth-shattering power has completely surpassed human comprehension.
He snapped out of his daze and turned to warn Du Linyuan to be careful.
"Du Linyuan! Stop staring blankly!"
However, Du Linyuan was holding his head.
He knelt on the ground, convulsing in agony, muttering to himself.
"Traitors... you two damned traitors..."
"Why betray us... why did you join forces to scheme against us..."
"If it weren't for you..."
"If it weren't for that Madman Gu Yueai..."
How could the world have become like this...?
"It's all over... it's all fucking over!"
Zhang Lingqi was completely confused and saw that Du Linyuan was caught in some kind of obsession and couldn't help him at all.
Helplessly, they could only turn their gaze towards the Jiangnan ahead.
At that moment, Jiangnan was coldly staring at the person opposite him.
In mid-air, the giant axe that had split the heavens and earth shrank rapidly and fell back into Duanlang's hand.
Duanlang toyed with the giant axe, a smile playing on his lips.
"Alright, the annoying deep-sea pressure is gone. Now we can talk properly and fight properly."
He has his sights set on Jiangnan.
"My dear disciple... it's been a thousand years, it's time for us to catch up."
"Next, I will let you feel it inch by inch..."
"The sheer despair I felt when you personally crippled me and stripped me of my military power was worse than death!!!"
The moment the words left his mouth, Duanlang roared and charged forward at breakneck speed!
"Heh, I have no idea what's wrong with you."
Jiangnan's eyes were icy. "But I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Sizzle!"
He removed the Purple Sky Thunder Armor from his body, revealing his true appearance for the first time in this battle!
The [Eye of Mobius] on his forehead burst forth with light!
He directly targeted the charging, surging Duanlang and unleashed his trump card!
The Fourth World [Space Banishment]!
He wanted to forcibly imprison this troublesome old monster in the fourth dimension, so that he would be lost there forever!
Duanlang paused slightly in his sprint, his eyes narrowing.
"The Eye of the Moon?"
"No... that's not right."
"It doesn't have that nauseating aura of the Gu Yue Clan."
"It's just a similar prosthetic eye, releasing some kind of law that's trying to imprison me in a higher dimension..."
Duanlang thought to himself with disdain, then his smile turned arrogant.
"However... my good apprentice."
"Have you lost your memory too completely?"
"You seem to have forgotten, your master..."
"What is sequence ability?!"
Before he could finish speaking...
Duanlang abruptly stopped his charge, leaning on his giant axe with both hands and standing still.
He smiled faintly as the light of spatial Banishment threatened to envelop his entire body.
"Those are ant tricks! What use are they to me?!"
He roared to the sky!
"Buzz!"
An unbelievable scene unfolded.
[Fourth World] That light of law, capable of Banishment even gods, instantly... the moment it shone upon Duanlang.
It's invalid!
Not even a single strand of Duanlang's hair could be taken away!
"Oh no!"
Upon seeing this, Zhang Lingqi's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted out.
"That's Sequence 057 [Arrogance]!"
"That ability possesses both law immunity and guaranteed hit effect!"
In order to protect himself, Zhang Lingqi decisively dispelled the Death God state of [Executioner].
He knew all too well how terrifying this ability was, and explained it in rapid succession.
"[Arrogance] grants immunity to all crowd control abilities!"
"What's even more terrifying is that it can completely disable all of the enemy's evasion abilities!"
"In other words, whether it's your spatial abilities or my death god-like body that's immune to physical damage."
"All of us are useless against his attacks! We can only withstand them!"
As Zhang Lingqi spoke, he turned to look at Jiangnan.
But when he saw Jiangnan's face, no longer concealed by the lightning armor, the rest of his words caught in his throat.
This face...
That face... wasn't it from a funeral they attended just a few hours ago?
And did you actually watch that person being buried in the ground?!
"You... who are you?!"
At the same time.
Inside the distant wreckage of the Machine God.
Berris' radar also detected Jiangnan's facial features.
However, the Eagle Country's top-secret database does not contain any information about the Dragon God's true appearance.
Therefore, she did not recognize Jiangnan's identity.
She just stared at the screen, and couldn't help but smack her lips.
"Wow, this Thunder Living Person is actually quite handsome!"
However, despite her infatuation, Berris gritted her teeth.
That's not the point; her immediate priority is to find a way to rejoin the fight.
She didn't want to lie in the mud and watch the show like a piece of scrap metal!
But she's still undecided...
Should we enable that feature...?
Return to the Sea-Cleaving Land.
Zhang Lingqi pointed at Jiangnan in shock. "You are a dragon..."
Enough with the nonsense.
Jiangnan interrupted him, his gaze fixed on Duanlang ahead, "We'll explain the troublesome matter later; let's take care of him together first."
As a top-notch soldier, Zhang Lingqi possesses exceptional mental fortitude and an ability to adapt that far surpasses that of ordinary people.
He nodded. "Okay!"
Duanlang heard their conversation clearly. He carried his giant axe and burst into wild laughter.
Hahaha! What a boastful tone!
"A crippled body that has been reincarnated using some unknown sorcery!"
"A mere brat who hasn't even grown all his hair yet!"
"There's one more..."
"A terminally ill illegitimate child!"
Duanlang suddenly pointed his giant axe at the three of them, his voice booming like a bell, his killing intent soaring to the heavens.
"You three good-for-nothings dare to boast about defeating me?!"
"What right do you have to oppose me?!"
Jiangnan did not respond to Duanlang's provocation.
At this moment, his brain was analyzing the massive amount of information in Duanlang Lang's words.
He had personally crippled Duanlang?
Is one's own body merely a [reincarnated remains] in the eyes of the other?
Did I really kill him once before I lost my memory?
Just then...
"Cough cough..."
A weak, manic laugh rang out from behind.
It's Du Linyuan.
He stood up, soaked to the bone by the rain, panting heavily.
"Old man... I remember everything."
Du Linyuan grinned, laughing like a hysterical Madman.
"Duanlang! You traitor!"
"The reason you're still alive today in this inhuman, ghostly state..."
"It must have been that Madman Gu Yueai who helped you behind the scenes, right?!"
Upon hearing the name [Gu Yueai].
Duanlang Lang's arrogance vanished.
"So what if it is?"
Duanlang snorted coldly.
"My only regret from that hunt back then was not being able to kill you!"
"And him too!"
Duanlang turned his head to look towards Jiangnan.
"The only ultimate physical body in the world capable of infinite evolution..."
"I'm so envious, it's insane..."
"It's just a pity..."
"Clang clang!"
Duanlang slapped the Imperial Armor on his body twice with the Raging Wave Axe.
"When it came time to divide the spoils, all I got was his Dragon Blood!"
"Otherwise, why would I have been forced onto this twisted path of Fusion with Evil God?!"
He gripped the giant axe tightly, and his demonic energy erupted from his body.
"But now, there's no turning back for me!"
"I have no desire to argue about the grudges, the rights and wrongs of the past!"
"So... for my future!"
"In preparation for the arrival of the Evil God!"
"You three, all of you, die!"
The words had barely left his mouth!
Surprisingly, Duanlang did not charge directly at the three of them.
Instead, it twisted its body and plunged directly into the sea cliff next to it!
"Thump!"
He swam in the separated, high-pressure seawater!
"Don't even think about running!"
Upon seeing this, Zhang Lingqi immediately drew his sword, intending to rush into the water wall to pursue.
However, the moment his arm touched the seawater, a tearing sound immediately rang out!
Zhang Lingqi let out a muffled groan, and a deep, bone-revealing bloodstain appeared on his arm!
"This seawater... something's not right!"
Zhang Lingqi's expression changed drastically, "Too fast!"
"This forced separation of water pressure creates a high-speed convection water jet at the edge!"
He looked around at the narrow, broken sea passage and instantly understood Duanlang's sinister intentions.
"This isn't a stage... this is a desperate struggle!"
Zhang Lingqi gritted his teeth, "He deliberately cut open the sea."
"They want to use this high-pressure water wall to trap us in this corridor and use us as targets to hunt us down!"
"Hehehe... Hahahaha!"
Du Linyuan suddenly clutched his stomach and burst into even more maniacal laughter.
"Du Linyuan! What on earth has gotten into you?!"
Zhang Lingqi roared, "What exactly did you remember?!"
"Who is Gu Yueai? What's wrong with this world?!"
Du Linyuan didn't answer him, but instead grabbed his hair with both hands.
"You can't win... Dog Egg, you absolutely can't win!"
"Internal and external troubles, too many enemies! I've thought of them all..."
"Besides these monsters that are out in the open, what else is behind them..."
"Those beings that are simply invincible!"
They will not die!
"As long as [that tree] is still there..."
"As long as that damned World Tree continues to suck blood, all our struggles now are for naught."
"It's all just a futile joke!"
"Hahaha! Don't even mention letting me die again..."
Even if the Ghost Emperor Robe gave me a hundred more lives, it wouldn't be able to reverse the inevitable destruction!
Du Linyuan looked up at the sky and laughed bitterly, as if his faith had collapsed and he had lost his fighting spirit.
The rain poured down relentlessly.
At the very moment Du Linyuan broke down.
"Boom!"
Duanlang's figure burst through the water wall and stood proudly in the sky!
He raised the Raging Wave Axe high in his hand.
"Fear! Despair! And then... Annihilation in agony!"
The sound of Duanlang echoed throughout the entire Sea-Cleaving Land.
"The situation is hopeless! No one can save you!"
"Let this axe of mine send you all to your deaths, buried with this decaying world!!!"
"Heaven-Burying Axe Art! World Annihilation!"
Watching the giant axe that was about to fall in the next second, enough to flatten this underwater tunnel.
"Damn it! There's no way out... Am I really going to die here?"
Zhang Lingqi gripped the hilt of the knife, yet felt a profound sense of powerlessness.
Under the forced hit of [Arrogance], he couldn't even dodge.
And Jiangnan stands at the very forefront.
Throughout the entire process, his face remained expressionless.
He rationally analyzed the probability of death before him.
100%.
There is absolutely no chance of winning.
Of course, this is his mortality rate when he goes to fight head-on.
Jiangnan has never been the kind of reckless man who would throw his life away for the sake of so-called passion.
As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn – that's his philosophy of survival.
So...
A tactical retreat is also a wise choice.
He expressionlessly reached into his pocket, his fingertips touching the trump card he had never dared to use.
[Random Teleportation Token].
He could escape this inescapable Asura Field by simply crushing it.
As for the remaining few people...
Jiangnan clenched his fists silently. All he needed to do was cripple them and imprison them in the Human Emperor Lamp...
At least we're still alive, right?
However.
Just as Jiangnan's fingers were about to exert force, preparing to make a move...
A voice rang out from the damaged external broadcast of the mech in this desolate, Sea-Cleaving Land!
"Hey! What are you doing?! Are you trying to run away?!"
"How can a hero desert his post!"
Immediately afterwards, the Machine God pig lying in the mud glowed red!
"Get Berris here! That Thunder Living Person here!"
Berris's voice roared in the cockpit.
"Berris has a solution!"
