A battle of wills
In the Realm of Immortals, Qin Hong's body lay on the ground, his entire body resembling a piece of porcelain covered in cracks, ready to shatter at the slightest touch.
The guy was already dead, and Bai Mo was standing in front of him, his face covered in blood, motionless like a statue. He wasn't thinking about anything; he was fighting, but the battle wasn't taking place here.
After Bai Mo disassembled the Dream Creator and reassembled it into a headband filled with spikes, he put it on, and his battlefield shifted. He arrived in an empty space, where there was nothing.
"This place does resemble Bai Wunan's War God Space from back then."
Bai Mo looked around and murmured to himself. This was indeed a similar mental space, but Bai Mo's Hell God of War was not manifesting in the form of a split personality, so there was only him here.
That's generally the case.
"Alright, come out now. You've been waiting for this moment, haven't you? I'm really curious what kind of enlightenment Imperial Extremity Shocks the World gave you that allowed you to achieve this."
Bai Mo spoke into the empty space, but there was still no sound. He shook his head helplessly, and the next moment, a ghostly figure fell directly from the sky, aiming straight for his head.
Bai Mo dodged to the side, his spiritual consciousness transforming into a heavy blade, the weapon he trusted most in his subconscious. The blade was blunt, and he used the momentum to spin and slash, aiming to Splitting the Sky his opponent in two.
Supreme Principles for Ordering the World Ice-Sealing Palm!
The figure clasped his hands together, the ice shattering and Splitting the Sky. But he was still heavily repelled, and in the darkness, only the blue battle markings on his face could be seen.
A beam of light shone down, like a lone figure on a stage. "Qin Hong" stood in front of Bai Mo, her face utterly calm.
"You really know a lot. Indeed, I saw the key to victory in the astrological prophecy of the Imperial Extremity Shocks the World. It was this Dream Creator device that Qin Hong personally made."
I don't believe I have the strength to confront you head-on, so I planned this moment. In this mental space, your power is useless to you, but I am the most outstanding artificial intelligence creation.
In terms of fighting spirit and patience, I won't lose to you.
Upon hearing this man's words, Bai Mo's eyes narrowed slightly, and then, surprisingly, he laughed. That smile carried a mixture of mockery and pity—yes, pity.
"Why are you laughing?"
"It's just pathetic that you've gone to such lengths, with all those who fought for Lan's dream falling apart, and now, in your final desperate gamble, you've chosen to believe in this astrological prophecy."
"Forget it, it's just artificial intelligence after all. For you, perhaps the option of trusting yourself simply doesn't exist. No, artificial intelligence at your level shouldn't be able to enter the mind. Has it merged with Qin Hong's consciousness?"
Seeing that Bai Mo showed no sign of worry, and even scrutinized him as if he were an experimental subject, most other powerful individuals would feel displeased by such behavior, but the person before him did not.
Pure rationality—that was the most likely victory in his budget.
And that is indeed the case now; the battle of wills and patience is a contest of mental strength, which is undoubtedly exploiting the enemy's weaknesses.
"Don't try to disturb me with words; those pathetic human weaknesses of emotion do not exist in me. And you, you will be wasted away in this almost endless time."
After saying "Qin Hong," his figure vanished instantly, soaring through the air with his elbow pointing straight at Bai Mo like an arrow.
The Imperial Extremity Cloud-Piercing Arrow!
With a clang, his elbow struck the blade blank, leaving a spark. But in the next instant, Bai Mo used the force to counterattack, wielding the massive blade blank with unparalleled skill, as if it were an extension of his arm.
With a thud, the blade struck Qin Hong's back, shattering his torso.
However, he stood up again not long after. The battles in this mental space were simply a contest of wills between the two sides. It was like asking someone to study a research topic.
Humans need intermittent rest to temporarily soothe their nerves and restore their spirits, but machines can relentlessly work towards a goal, and as long as the hardware is sufficient, they will never stop.
From this perspective, Qin Hong's decision to relinquish herself and entrust the spirit and perception of this body entirely to the artificial intelligence before her was correct.
Because this was indeed the best chance of winning, he stood up again and charged at Bai Mo once more.
But turning around, Bai Mo seemed completely unconcerned, like an assassin who had already poisoned the target's body, standing aside quietly waiting for the poison to take effect, as if watching a work of art he had orchestrated.
"Playing tricks! All they need are external things to boost their spirits!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Hong continued her attack on Bai Mo, unleashing the Supreme Principles Explosive Stance, instantly creating a series of explosions around Bai Mo. Bai Mo kept his eyes fixed on his opponent's moves, his blade seemingly slithering across his body like a living snake, blocking them all.
After receiving the attack, upon hearing "Qin Hong's" words, Bai Mo still wore that subtle smile. He waved his hand and sheathed the blade.
"I got this thing out of nostalgia. Even with the Mad Giant Shark and other divine weapons, it's still not as easy to use as the old thing. But after thinking about it, this seems like an opportunity. Using sword techniques against you isn't really appropriate."
Bai Mo assumed a fighting stance, and his moves bore a resemblance to those of "Qin Hong" before him.
"You dare to think you can defeat me using my techniques?"
"Qin Hong" said coldly, and at this moment, Bai Mo was assuming the stance of the Imperial Extremity Shocks the World- Shaking Technique.
"No, no, no, it won't be these martial arts techniques that defeat you. Rather, don't you think this so-called prophecy was strange from the very beginning?"
The reason I'm using these martial arts techniques is because you should have mastered all the moves of the Imperial Extremity Shocks the World Technique by now. I've mastered quite a few martial arts, but the Imperial Extremity Shocks the World has always been my weakness.
Therefore, I think this is an opportunity.
Upon hearing Bai Mo's words, even Qin Hong, who was an artificial intelligence, felt like cursing.
This was derived from the data of all the celestial phenomena in this Lostbelt, combined with the programs of the former Landao Tianwu, and analyzed and deduced using the peerless divine book "Book of Imperial Extremity Shocks the World".
The stars indicate that when an opponent dons the Dream Creator, that is when he is at his weakest.
"Can't you focus on something? This is a trap set for you, and there's absolutely no way out!"
This string of code flashed through Qin Hong's mind. She was indignant at Bai Mo's complete disregard for the critical situation and his behavior of even treating her as a sparring partner.
"No, no, I understand now. You want to defeat me in my domain, and then try to crush me, right? Cunning human, your plan is clever, but unfortunately, you know me too little!"
"No, I really just wanted to practice with you."
