26 + 28 + 3 minutes later.
Before the main gates of the [Temple].
Looking at Otsutsuki Qi's corpse lying dead behind him.
Recalling the battle just now, Natsume could not help but sigh:
"The fifth state of matter: a fermionic condensate?"
"Was that this guy's true trump card?"
"Everyone else manifested reality through their souls, yet this guy actually used his physical body to trigger an ascension into a field-like condensate state?"
"What a freak!"
"How terrifying!"
"Luckily, I didn't give him the chance to use it this time..."
Clearly.
This was not Natsume's first battle against Otsutsuki Qi.
This was already his third [Extended Future Peering].
And his third fierce battle with Otsutsuki Qi.
The first two battles had both lasted more than twenty minutes...
On one hand, Natsume had deliberately dragged things out, wanting to learn more about his opponent's abilities and trump cards.
On the other hand, the opponent's trump card had simply been far too difficult to deal with!
With terrifying lightning power, he could excite his physical body from a solid state into an ionized state, then intertwine and merge it with his soul.
Ascending into a [Condensate State]!
Under the [Condensate State], or rather, the [Radiation Field State].
That Otsutsuki Qi had been almost impossible to kill!
No physical attack could harm him, and the vast majority of energy attacks could not even hit him!
Even the demonic blade [Hu Sinatuo] could only inflict limited damage on him.
Likewise, the other party had no particularly good way to break through Natsume's [Divine Izanagi-no-Mikoto].
In the end, neither of them had been able to determine a victor, and they could only continue their grueling battle.
Until Natsume neared the thirty-minute limit of [One-Way Precognition].
He had no choice but to interrupt the battle and
