Beneath This World, I Am Eternal
The moment Xu Tianluo finished speaking, the fingertip that was pressed against Qin Wangchuan's brow suddenly burst forth with a terrifyingly Destructive Radiance!
Dark Purple Light Pillar, condensed to its extreme and seemingly capable of piercing through everything, erupted instantly.
At such close range, there was absolutely no way to avoid it!
The backlash from the broken Dao Slash Technique was still reverberating within his body, Xu Tianluo had calculated that Qin Wangchuan had absolutely no chance of dodging this fatal blow at this moment!
However--
Just then, a pair of Divine Feather shimmering with the Void Star Radiance suddenly unfurled behind Qin Wangchuan!
Buzz!
Where the Divine Feather swept across, space was cleaved open. Qin Wangchuan retreated backward and fell into the crack. In the next instant, his figure appeared a hundred feet away.
They narrowly avoided a direct hit from the beam of light.
Seeing that Xu Tianluo's expression remained unchanged, though his tone carried a hint of praise:
"It's astonishing. This area should have been protected by restrictions long ago, specifically designed to deal with your Void Divine Feather."
"You really do manage to surprise me every time, but..."
"It's no use!"
The Dark Purple Light Pillar, which had already missed its target, seemed to come alive, tracing a strange arc in mid-air, locking Qin Wangchuan's aura, and then shooting back at an even faster speed!
"Royal!"
Qin Wangchuan was not surprised when he saw this, but he shouted lowly, and the spiritual energy in front of him suddenly condensed into a golden word "royal"!
Clang!
An ancient, Golden Light Sword Blade appeared out of thin air, its blade engraved with Mysterious Runes. It was planted firmly in the ground in front of him, its sword ringing out, forming a thick Sword Intent Barrier!
That wasn't enough. Qin Wangchuan flicked his sleeve, and several seemingly ordinary sheets of white paper flew out!
"Form ranks!"
The paper spontaneously combusted in mid-air, instantly transforming into more than ten heavily armored, weapon-wielding, expressionless Soldier Puppet!
Their movements were perfectly synchronized, instantly forming an impenetrable defensive line that blocked the destructive Finger Force!
However--
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
The pillar of light from the Xu Tianluo contained the corrosive power of Foreign Lands, sweeping away everything in its path!
The bronze blade let out a mournful cry, its runes instantly dimming as it was forcefully shattered!
Those Paper Figurine soldiers, each imbued with powerful spiritual energy, were as fragile as paper, easily pierced and torn apart by the Finger Force, turning into countless pieces of paper and fragments of spiritual light that fluttered in the air, failing to hinder him in the slightest!
The beam of light arrived in the blink of an eye, and time seemed to slow down.
A moment of astonishment flashed in Qin Wangchuan's eyes, but the next moment it turned into a smile mixed with blood and foam, filled with extreme excitement!
"Dragon--Silk!"
The young man's clear shout resounded throughout the surrounding area!
The Dragon Silk Battle Armor instantly covered his entire body!
Dragon shadows swirled on the battle armor, emitting deep and majestic roars and unleashing terrifying, primordial power.
Faced with that eerie, relentlessly pursuing pillar of purple light.
Instead of retreating, he clenched his right fist and took a sudden step forward.
The moment the boots landed, the ground shattered and sank, and the scales on the Dragon Armor Armguard lit up layer upon layer, gathering a tremendous power that could shake mountains and rivers!
"Break!"
His Fist Out Like a Dragon, eclipsing the world.
The instant the two collided.
Bang!
That terrifying Finger Force that could erode everything was shattered by his punch, which was wrapped in Dragon Silk Battle Armor!
Before the punch had finished, Dragon Might Fist Wind swept out, completely dispelling the ominous aura that permeated the surroundings.
Qin Wangchuan slowly withdrew his fist, wisps of blue smoke rising from the Dragon Armor Armguard, which gleamed with a dark red hue as the metal cooled under the sunlight.
He spread his fingers and then clenched them, the scales clashing together with a crisp ringing sound—the earth-shattering blow from before hadn't even left a white mark on his armor.
"Foreign Power, nothing more than that."
Qin Wangchuan's icy gaze pierced through the Dragon Silk Mask as he raised his hand and retaliated with a strike:
"Extreme Dao Sacred Technique? Heavenly Ruins Tribulation Finger!"
All the Immortal Bone Golden Light converged on the index finger of his right hand, making that finger bone as clear as glass, and the Space-time Turbulence wrapped around it emitted a tearing sound that made one's teeth ache.
He gently pointed a finger towards the direction of the Xu Tianluo.
A subtle yet extremely refined Golden Finger Force strike tore through the void, instantly piercing and tearing him apart!
Xu Tianluo staggered backward, looking down at his chest, which was being pierced by the Golden Finger Force and was constantly disintegrating and annihilating. His face showed an extremely exaggerated and distorted look of horror and resentment.
He reached out, as if trying to grab something, a broken growl escaping his throat:
"No... no! No, Qin Wangchuan! How could you... this is impossible!!"
His voice was filled with despair, as if he had truly reached the end of his road.
However, just as his body was about to completely dissipate—
Buzz!
The space rippled slightly, like the surface of water.
The next moment, the figure that should have been obliterated suddenly became blurry and transparent, disappearing completely like a phantom that had been wiped away.
And in the same spot, right where Xu Tianluo had originally stood.
A perfectly intact Xu Tianluo, whose aura was even stronger than before, appeared out of thin air, without even a single wrinkle in his robes.
He calmly patted his sleeves and raised his purple eyes to look at Qin Wangchuan.
A smile, tinged with pity yet laced with endless mockery, curved his lips.
"How was my expression just now? Was it spot-on?"
Xu Tianluo shook his head slightly, his tone calm yet carrying an absolute judgment.
"Your attack was effective, but shouldn't you have noticed by now?"
"To defeat me, my past, present, and future selves would all die simultaneously, but alas... neither my past nor my future exists in this world."
"In other words, in this world, I am eternal."
However, Xu Tianluo showed no joy on his face when he said this.
The timing of this incident is simply unusual.
'What is that incredibly realistic Avatar Technique? It shouldn't have been there before... No, it should have been there before, but he didn't use it. But why didn't he use it?'
Why didn't the Black Obsidian Soil, specifically designed to counter his Void Divine Feather, work this time?
'And how did he know all this information, thus bypassing layers of defense to get close to me?'
'Could it be that Qin Wangchuan also knows the future?'
