As the battle continued, Di Yan grew increasingly irritated.
It was not merely that he had accomplished nothing. More importantly, he felt that he had been "seen through," and that feeling was awful.
He employed all manner of methods and secret arts, even using the secret treasures he carried.
But that strange gray mist could simulate even a small part of his secret treasures.
Di Yan's fury surged. His entire body seemed to turn into flames as boundless power roared and seethed.
Space collapsed, and matter was ground into streams of particles. Even Dongguan's gray mist gradually vanished in their clashes.
However, while it met resistance in this direction, Dongguan was still transforming gray mist in other areas. Through his connection to the Miniature Universe, energy was sent over and could also be transformed directly.
Di Yan stopped burning away his connections to those "imitations." He even took the initiative to strengthen them.
"Pathetic imitations, disappear!"
Although he did not also cultivate the cause and effect origin great dao, as a God King, even insights gained by analogy gave him methods involving cause and effect that could utterly kill any being below the Chaos Realm who lacked a Reincarnation Secret Technique.
Then, following those connections, he wiped out all the newly emerged "imitations" in an instant.
Of course, Di Yan himself also felt slightly weakened.
And new "imitations" were appearing again.
But a gap had appeared nonetheless.
"Kill!" Di Yan roared fiercely. His entire body seemed to turn into a peculiar flame creature, burning through space and arriving directly before Dongguan.
"You absorbed my power through cause and effect, but once guided, that so-called 'counter' became a flaw in your own move!"
Laughing loudly, Di Yan struck at Dongguan's head.
Dongguan watched him, looking thoughtful.
"All right, I'll remember that."
