When enemies meet
Bai Mo casually put away the short sword, and a burst of light shone behind him. Bai Wunan stretched out a hand, and then the entire space, like paint in a pool, was completely absorbed.
Outside, Ashiya Dōman his lip, his Onmyoji robe now showing several tears. He stared at Uesugi Kenshin, who was holding a spear in one arm and panting heavily, his eyes filled with rage.
This is unbelievable! The Uesugi Clan lives hundreds of miles away. How did this guy get here? And for some reason, my attacks always seem to miss or become ineffective when they land on her.
"Hehe, not bad from a human perspective, but that's enough for you. Although that water curtain is a divine technique, it's already the limit for it to stop this humble monk for so long."
The space where Bai Mo resides is a space that does not belong to this time at all. Not only is it almost impossible to observe, but its internal time flow is also completely different.
The battle with Ibuki God took only a few seconds at most, but quite some time had passed in the outside world.
But Ashiya Dōman was not in a hurry at all. In his opinion, Bai Mo only had the same strength as Chiyome, and had probably already been dealt with by Ibuki God.
"That's the end, Mochizuki Chiyome. Accept your fate."
The water curtain had completely turned into a stream of pitch-black water, which then gradually disappeared. Ashiya Dōman the shikigami in his hands, and then a huge black sphere appeared behind him. The black sphere opened its eyes and stared intently at Chiyome.
"Akimitsu Xianguang, come, take that precious body and obliterate its meaningless spirit."
Just as the colossal creature let out a roar, preparing to drag everything into the curse, a sudden change occurred!
Almost simultaneously, the Evil Spirit Safu above Ashiya Dōman's head vanished. The enormous, Shrouding Heaven and Blotting Out the Sun presence that had just existed disappeared as if it had never been there at all.
It simply vanished; this was an erasure at the Root level, directly deleting the Evil Spirit Safu, who had merged with Douman.
At the same time, Chiyome felt a sudden lightness in her body, a sense of exhilaration that made her want to roar to the sky. But as a ninja, she knew exactly what she had to do. She drew her ninja sword, Electric Current Push, she moved like a ghost behind Ashiya Dōman.
A flash of cold light appeared, and a red line appeared on Ashiya Dōman's face, from which blood flowed incessantly.
The situation reversed instantly. The ultimate move he had just prepared vanished in an instant, and Chiyome injured. The huge sense of falling from a stable helicopter made his eyes almost pop out of their sockets.
"As long as there's no curse in the way, you're nothing special."
"Don't joke with me, you piece of trash!"
Ashiya Dōman roared, his hands radiating black energy as he reached straight for Chiyome, but two invisible blades of energy swept past, severing his hands. Chiyome then pierced his chest with her sword.
Sheathing the knife and releasing blood, the movements were fluid and graceful.
He fell, his eyes filled with intense resentment, before his body vanished in a shower of light.
"It's over," Chiyome exhaled a breath of stale air. She immediately noticed the wounds on Ashiya Dōman's hands and tried to sense them, but she couldn't detect anything.
Bai Mo concealed himself in the woods. Everything had been resolved smoothly. Douman was dead, and the system remnants had been successfully recovered. Now, he just needed to wait two days for the remaining Spirit Origin to burn out and his soul to be repaired before he could leave.
Are you injured?
A familiar voice came from beside her. Shi looked worried. Bai Mo's white doctor's robe had several holes, as if it had been pierced by the teeth of a wild beast, and there was some blood on it.
"No, I initiated the contact myself, for the development of Magnetic Field Power. So, you've finally decided to come out?"
After confirming that Bai Mo was unharmed, Shi crossed his arms, silently expressing his disapproval of Bai Mo's actions of injuring himself in order to develop his power.
"I've taken care of things here. Didn't you say you wanted to go to Kyoto? We can pick a time now."
Hearing this, Shi finally lowered his hand and replied:
"Sigh, let's talk about it when we get home."
It's clear that this isn't the time to talk. You can only truly be yourself at home.
Back in the massive building, Bai Mo first went to the hot spring in the backyard, took off his pendant, placed the Enlil's divine core on it aside, and put Enki's water-flow rope into the hot spring.
He then sat cross-legged, quietly sensing Enki's purifying power. Several jet-black lights surged from his body, the very power of Ibuki God's curse.
A curse, or rather, an impurity, is a special kind of power, somewhat similar to poison. It weakens life and can even lead to death, but the difference is that the erosion of a curse is often not limited to the physical body, but also affects the spirit.
Turning kind people into cruel ones, driving people into confusion and madness... these forms of spiritual erosion are all manifestations of the power of a curse.
Some of them resemble the power of pain and madness.
Previously, Bai Mo had been studying some special changes in Magnetic Field Power. When a strong person undergoes certain special experiences or uses certain special products, they can create some unique power.
For example, Nadu during the God of War era or Gale who obtained "Storm"—the former created the power of pain through a series of physical and mental tortures inflicted by Bai Wunan; while the latter was able to use the power of misfortune with the help of the divine weapon "Storm".
There is also a "mad" power similar to that of Giant Shark, which is still present even in the Ultimate stage.
However, these powers are influenced by the user himself. When Bai Mo was in the Underworld, he tried to understand pain through vengeful spirits, but he could only barely create some pain effects that could be applied to the soul.
In reality, it's not very useful.
At the time, he possessed 510,000 units of power, so he didn't intend to spend time on that power and treated it all as unintentional. But this time, after these curses and Enki's purification, Bai Mo had a new idea.
"These forces, in essence, all influence the mind. I lack the extreme emotions of Nadu and the Giant Shark. But I don't want to be influenced by those emotions. Forcing myself to conform would only lead to a lower level of performance, and ultimately, these forces are not the mainstream."
For me, the ideal situation is that if I encounter these forces in the future, I won't let them affect my spirit.
Enki's authority not only purifies curses and pain, but also the spiritual, just like water, benefiting all things without contention, simply flowing quietly.
Feeling the effects of purification, Bai Mo sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and became completely immersed in it. Unconsciously, he activated the Dark Reincarnation.
Having mastered the ultimate technique of understanding all the changes in moves, although he hadn't been able to uncover any clues about the Avici Uninterrupted during this time, Bai Mo had grasped the understanding of the Dark Reincarnation and applied it to some changes in this world.
So-called techniques are nothing more than derivatives of the human body, and so-called power is nothing more than the transfer of energy.
The Magnetic Field Power is all-encompassing. Since the Asura Way can instantly grasp the changes in its techniques, then as long as both sides understand each other, they can naturally exchange knowledge and skills regarding these changes.
Ripples spread out, and Bai Mo raised his hand, a short knife appearing as he prepared to strike.
Previously, he deliberately sank into the Eight Veins Raging Waves to experience the purification process, but it seems that there is a significant difference in divine authority Ibuki's curse and the Sumer water god Enki.
The effect was not obvious, so Bai Mo decided to use the short knife he obtained, which contained an even stronger curse.
"Hey, it was fine if we didn't bother the young couple before, but now you shouldn't be watching. A lot of repairs have been done here. While it still won't allow you to exert your influence outside, this should be achievable, right?"
Bai Wunan's voice rang out in the space of the War God Ke Bao, and then a window of light appeared. To Bai Mo's right, Kebao stood up and then transmitted a mysterious power.
It was the power of pain, but almost simultaneously, a light appeared on the opposite side. Kebao raised an eyebrow and saw a bald man appear to Bai Mo's left, also striking out with a palm.
It was the frenzied power of the Giant Shark.
The two's power quickly merged into Bai Mo's body, Enki's power to purify the spirit instantly became a drop in the ocean, but this was actually more in line with the understanding of the Dark Reincarnation.
Only by going against the current can one truly appreciate the pressure of the water. The footprints left on those rugged and difficult paths, even those that might cut your feet, are all the more profound.
On either side, Kebao and Giant Shark stared at each other, then Giant Shark spoke first:
"Kebao, I'm not in the mood to mess with you right now. Hey, you better clean yourself up, and I'll blow you up when I get interested."
Upon hearing this, Kebao sneered:
"I didn't know your sexual orientation was like this. No wonder you were able to hurt Lan Ji back then."
He had naturally witnessed the battle between Bai Mo and the Giant Shark. Through Bai Mo's words, he understood the most effective way to retaliate against the Giant Shark. Sure enough, upon hearing that name, the Giant Shark's face instantly darkened.
Turning to leave, Kebao retreated after his attack, but a burst of frenzied force instantly struck the back of his head.
"You..."
Just as he was about to curse the Giant Shark for breaking its promise, he turned around and saw that the Giant Shark had retreated immediately after its attack and disappeared without looking back. Kebao could only spit out a curse, then, after confirming that Bai Mo was unaffected, he turned back.
