Grotto-Heaven

Inside the Martial God Space, Landao Tianwu was cursing loudly. He thought he had outlived the Qin Shi Huang and created the glorious Blue Country. He thought he had only made one wrong step. If he hadn't gone to Northern Europe, things wouldn't have come to this.

He feigned compliance, entered Mount Li, and eventually used various means to poach almost half of Mount Li soldiers. At the time of his success, he was secretly pleased, thinking that the so-called Qin Shi Huang was nothing more than that, and that he himself was far superior in terms of wisdom and strategy.

But unexpectedly, the so-called victory was just a curtain woven by the Qin Shi Huang. Qin Hong had already plotted against him after he entered Mount Li. Perhaps Qin Hong's decision to abandon him in the end was partly due to his influence.

"Damn it, I thought the celestial signs pointed to no future opportunities in Qin because I was too old and lacked resources. I never imagined that this was part of the reason. How hateful! If it weren't for your scheme, the celestial signs would have changed, and I wouldn't have gone to those Northern Europe to die!"

Landao Tianwu was seething with hatred, while Bai Lubao, not far from him, mocked:

"Tsk tsk tsk, losing and then shifting the blame onto others. Who would have thought that the starting point of the Blue Country was such an incompetent bunch."

"Are you looking for death?"

"Oh ho? Come on, I've died so many times, and your threats are as soft as a woman's."

Putting aside the excitement in the Martial God Space, in the center of Xianyang City, mercury had already transformed into tiny spheres in the air. With a wave of the Qin Shi Huang's hand, countless spheres of mercury shot out like shrapnel.

Without any skill, just pure speed and power, the sheer density of it made any movement technique seem pale in comparison. If Ritsuka's position hadn't been deliberately avoided, they might have been reduced to blood and gore in an instant.

Under this enhancement, the mercury not only does not corrode or decay, but also changes in many ways, sometimes transforming into flowing water to absorb power, and sometimes transforming into an indestructible blade that can cut through steel and break iron.

Bai Mo unleashed a punch, instantly unleashing a bone-chilling cold. The Ice and Snow Explosive Fist struck the Daichi, freezing the mercury in an instant. But this could only temporarily hold it off. Bai Mo glanced back at Xu Fu, then waved his hand, unleashing the power of ice and snow to activate the Eighteen Levels of Hell, transforming the mercury into sharp blades as well.

The ice and snow, like the sharp blades of a thousand armies, fell upon the Qin Shi Huang, yet he neither dodged nor evaded, and the ice blades still struck him, instantly turning into snowflakes. The mercury, as if it possessed a life of its own, did not harm him in the slightest.

"Don't even think of retaliating against me with such an attack. The computing power of my Epang Palace is more than enough to make your power struggle to control countless things. A genius can solve the mysteries that trouble others, but if one can only count grains of rice one by one, then even the most brilliant mind cannot compare to hundreds of ordinary people."

Mercury swirled around the Qin Shi Huang, reflecting light. Bai Mo took a deep breath, and then two figures appeared behind him—Tian Tiandao and Great Saber.

"God-Severing Way!"

"The Eighteen Levels of Hell!"

The waves and sword energy pressed down like the Dahai and dark clouds, seemingly threatening to devour all living beings. Facing the Double War God, the Qin Shi Huang's eyes were filled with vigilance; he had already assessed the power of this move.

He himself had tried it, and the final result was that although he could create energy similar to that of the Hell Blade God or the Ultimate Arhat, he could not achieve the situation of the Hell God of War.

The Gale onslaught blinded everyone, forcing them to support each other. Taking even one more step would mean being swept into the horrific disaster and reduced to fragments.

Bai Mo slowly raised his finger, and in the midst of the Storm, he accurately located that spot. The light of Avici Uninterrupted tore everything apart, pointing directly at the Qin Shi Huang before him, and in the next instant, countless drops of mercury surged towards the light of Avici Uninterrupted like ocean waves.

The decomposing force raged, and as the Qin Shi Huang stood, the mercury around him seemed to be poured into a bottomless pit, being Avici Uninterrupted.

"What terrifying power! It's still so strong even after consuming such a large amount."

The Qin Shi Huang muttered to himself, and then that Avici Uninterrupted light still struck him, leaving a piercing wound.

"It's a success!"

Ritsuka her hand fiercely, and the battle, which had been evenly matched, finally began to tilt. Bai Mo would never let this opportunity slip by. Once the battle situation changed, the balance of power would tilt all the way to the side, unless something unexpected happened.

Xu Fu also breathed a sigh of relief; it was great that she didn't have to lift a finger.

Just as Bai Mo was about to continue the pursuit, his body suddenly stiffened. His brows furrowed, and at that moment, he felt every muscle in his body resisting and rejecting any movement.

It was as if countless Great Han were supporting him, making every movement extremely difficult.

"This is... mercury, vaporized mercury? How come it wasn't detected?"

Bai Mo immediately realized his own problem, while on the other side, the Qin Shi Huang clapped his hands and nodded at him.

"Indeed, as I mentioned before, my Epang Palace is driven by the principles of Feng Shui Magecraft that operates in the actual natural world."

Upon hearing the Qin Shi Huang's words, Da Vinci, in Chaldea, was so shocked that she slammed her hand on the table. As a Caster, she understood all too well what this meant.

"No way, oh no, Ritsuka, you have to get out of this Epang Palace right away. This place has probably become a world controlled by him. The scattered mercury has become part of this 'nature' under his control."

That's why Bai Mo fell into the trap without realizing it. The Qin Shi Huang's advantage here is too great; he can even achieve complete immortality. We don't have any methods to counter immortality, and coupled with this power and the computational power of the Epang Palace ..."

Da Vinci almost dared not continue. It could be said that within the Epang Palace, all matter could be manipulated. Although computing power was insufficient to control the world, everything in this place was enough.

"That's right, foreign Magecraft, you understand very quickly. In a world where immortals already existed before me, this is the technique called Grotto-Heaven. The palace I reside in, my body, everything is naturally in my hands."

To put it in terms of Servant, this is my Noble Phantasm. The one and only, eternally immortal [Qin Shi Huang].

Next, all that is needed is to gradually expand it to the entire world. At that time, all people will carry out every action according to my will, and thus, the existence of humanity will find its answer in my hands."
