The process of defeating Jing Yi went off without a hitch, but not without surprises.
The mont the assassin successfully infiltrated and revealed himself, the battle had already ended.
Black Spade Ten also noticed that Jing Yi’s gaze seed sowhat strange.
But Jing Yi was already unable to make a sound; his every word was fragnted in different dinsions.
In the end, Jing Yi discovered nothing—only a fleeting sense of unease that seed eerily familiar flashed through his daze.
His thoughts quickly shifted elsewhere; he did not believe the fight was over.
As long as one cannot be completely destroyed, even defeat is not to be feared.
So-called defeat is rely a temporary respite.
He was acutely aware that all the duels in Denglin City were rely to postpone the doom of the city and to resist the demise brought by the Twister.
But while that demise could be delayed, it could not be stopped.
As long as the Twisted Master could not be defeated, everything was in vain.
Black Spade Ten frowned, intending to say sothing, but suddenly...
These crisscrossing golden lines that ford the countless gridlike barriers of the Space-Ti Labyrinth... began to flicker.
It was like a surveillance feed encountering interference, the golden lines of the Space-Ti Labyrinth quivered like ECG traces.
In a trance, Black Spade Ten heard the sound of ice cracking.
The First Generation had left this place about ten minutes ago; at this mont, he must be trying to prolong the duel between Jing Si and Alpha.
Yet, Black Spade Ten suddenly sensed a force capable of annihilating everything heading towards the space they were in.
He wasn’t afraid; he just wondered... Had sothing gone wrong with Jing Si and Alpha’s duel?
...
...
North of Denglin City.
The entire northern part of the city had already beco a void of chaos and disorder.
Here, there was only the starry sky and the Hei Wu.
Energy streaked through the void and chaos like black lightning.
The stars in the night sky would dim one by one, but soon new stars would shine, bright and dazzling, exposing the Hei Wu under the starry sky.
Jing Si and Alpha’s figures each stood at the center of their respective domains.
Jing Si, body flickering like black flas, had an aura that was becoming chaotic.
Of course, Alpha on the other side seed to be in no less discomfort.
On his formidable Immortal body, countless wounds had appeared.
These wounds were constantly healing, but just like the stars constantly being born in the sky... new wounds would erge again.
His breathing, too, had changed its rhythm.
Both were in a state where they couldn’t move, maintaining the posture required to keep their domains active.
The enormous Hei Wu and the black lightning condensed from starlight intertwined at the center of their confrontation, like two Mortal World Pythons entwined and locked in struggle.
They throttled each other, biting and tearing, to see who would falter first, who would be defeated first.
Reincarnation was activated, allowing Jing Si to return to his pri whenever he was about to falter.
Alpha didn’t possess such ability, but by relying on Immortality alone, he was able to confront a Jing Si of this caliber.
There were no words in this duel, and though it lacked the splendor of a turbulent hand-to-hand battle, with no terrifying punches tearing through the labyrinth and causing various phenona around the world...
The two were battling even more desperately than they did in close combat.
It was like two unrivaled masters, moving from competing in technique to competing in internal strength.
Alpha had not anticipated that the Inverted Well Domain would be so powerful, and that Jing Si, amplified by the Twisted Amplifier, would be so formidable.
This was the strength demonstrated by the human-alien alliance.
The Inverted Well Domain countered his Well Domain in a way that was as unequivocal as fire against water.
But whether fire would be extinguished by water or water would be evaporated by fire ultimately depended on the montum.
Clearly, the force Jing Si had demonstrated exceeded Alpha’s expectations.
Thus, the duel unexpectedly reached a stalemate.
However, Alpha saw Jing Si’s limit.
"He’s using Reincarnation more and more frequently."
"And the error in Reincarnation is getting bigger; there were a few tis when he didn’t return to his peak state."
"What’s going on? Is he starting to exhaust his strength? No, that’s not it..."
"This duel has indeed consud a great deal for both of us. I must admit, Jing Si’s strength has exceeded my expectations, though he is still not as powerful as that old friend. But his limit shouldn’t be here."
In this world, hardly anyone is worthy of Alpha’s hands, nor can anyone withstand a strike from Alpha.
But Jing Si is different—he is rare, compelling Alpha to start thinking.
This ans that for Alpha, Jing Si has beco troubleso enough to necessitate analyzing weaknesses.
He is undoubtedly a person skilled in combat and calculation, and so, it didn’t take long for Alpha to notice sothing off about Jing Si.
The black lightning intertwined with black mist and starlight struck again, and Jing Si let out a low shout, his muscles revealing black veins.
That was the embodint of power being driven to its extre.
In the Inverted Well Domain, stars were continuously destroyed and reborn. The black mist dissipated and condensed repeatedly.
They had forgotten how many tis their domains had clashed.
Clearly this ti... the outco was still indecipherable.
"To comprehend such a domain is indeed troubleso, no wonder he was chosen by my old rival, but now I see through it."
Alpha’s inverted crimson eye reflected Jing Si’s figure, and under the gaze of the divine eye, he had seen through Jing Si.
"It’s not that his physical strength has reached its limit, hahaha... it’s the domain’s amplification, starting to devour all the Power of Twist, including his own strength."
Alpha finally understood, Jing Si did indeed expend physical energy in their duel.
Both of their breathing rhythms had changed, indicating that these nearly Immortal beings were feeling fatigue.
But Jing Si’s Reincarnation was triggering more and more frequently, with increasing scope for error.
This was not because Jing Si had expended too much physical strength, decreasing his control over his power.
Rather, under the amplification of Twist, Jing Si had temporarily gained the strength to contend with Alpha but couldn’t truly master this power.
The Inverted Well was too powerful, capable of making all twisted things dissipate.
Continuously comparing domains with Alpha also led Jing Si to constantly explore the limits of the Inverted Well.
This vast power of twisted dissolution was unraveling Reincarnation itself.
The temporal distortions brought about by Reincarnation were being eradicated bit by bit.
Both the Well Domain and the Inverted Well Domain were superior to Reincarnation in terms of level.
In the face of such power, the term "Reincarnation"
"As long as I don’t give him ti to breathe, constantly forcing him to activate the Inverted Well Domain, he cannot initiate Reincarnation... Clearly, the high-intensity confrontation is causing an outburst of madness within him."
Jing Si is a madman, in a state of frenzy, he only has a low level of instinct. In such a state, he might even beco an enemy of humankind.
If Jing Si didn’t rely on Reincarnation, Alpha had to admit that Jing Si under the amplification of Twist—
already had the ability to tie him down.
"You are a monster; I thought you were a genius. You sensed the Twist, you comprehended the Twist, but clearly, my child... you’ve only been playing hooky."
"Playing hooky cos with a price, my child. You’ve never overco the influence the Well brought upon you, you’ve rely used Reincarnation to suppress them."
In the domain where Well and the Inverted Well clashed, sound could no longer be conveyed.
At the center of the duel between Jing Si and Alpha, all matter was being annihilated and reconstituted.
This place was like an extremity in the universe.
Two Mortal World Pythons intertwined around... imnse power was compressed to its limit, and once released, could perhaps destroy the entire world.
In previous domain collisions, Alpha would withdraw his domain after sensing it was fruitless, attempting to analyze other weaknesses of Jing Si.
But this ti, Alpha had pinpointed the weakness. He didn’t withdraw his domain. Instead, he made the point of domain collision... increasingly dangerous.
He wouldn’t give Jing Si any chance to initiate Reincarnation; he wanted to force Jing Si to make a choice between falling into madness and the extremity exploding to destroy everything.
Jing Si couldn’t hear Alpha’s mockery, but in his ears, many voices started to erge.
Those were the whispers of inner demons, endless malicious thoughts flooding in.
In his eyes, it was as if he saw the ceiling of the fourth layer of the Well World, witnessing faces as twisted as those in Van Gogh’s paintings.
Slaughter, violence, destruction.
All these violent emotions were relentlessly disturbing Jing Si’s thoughts.
Yet oddly enough... Jing Si couldn’t initiate Reincarnation.
He had to find a way to suppress Alpha, who was attempting to completely devour Denglin City, maybe even a more extensive area.
The boundaries of the space-ti barrier began to collapse.
At this mont, the battle between Jing Yi and The Pursuer ca to an end, The First Generation returned to the position in the graveyard, prepared to accelerate the flow of ti in the space occupied by Jing Si and Alpha.
The First Generation was worried that Jing Si and Alpha couldn’t hold on for long, so he planned to manually extend their battle.
But the actual situation was far worse than he imagined.
...
...
Denglin City, graveyard.
The two naless tombstones that stood there in the past began to tremble slightly now.
It was as if soone on the brink of death was clawing their way out of the deepest pits of hell.
But this was not so scene of horror, but the entire city that was trembling.
"What’s going on... Why is the space-ti barrier starting to beco unstable?"
The barrier was what divided Denglin City into countless grid-like spaces with lines.
Now these lines were crumbling and bending, like guitar strings snapped by an external force.
Xu Wei was undoubtedly the most talkative one:
"Bad, bad, bad, they say only a monster can defeat a monster, but now it seems the father of the monster is ultimately still a monster... Has Jing Si been KO’d?"
"Shut up," The Pursuer said coldly.
"I’d like to shut up, but I just can’t... Don’t you all feel it? There’s a power devouring everything."
Xu Wei’s perception was without a doubt accurate.
But it was as if they were frivolously discussing slow-moving turtles, unaware of the tidal wave brewing that would obliterate everything...
Before this force, they could change nothing.
And as the golden space-ti barrier continued to crumble... the scene from afar finally beca clear.
The First Generation had already sensed the aura coming from the northern part of the city.
The Pursuer, Yin He, Xu Wei, Lin Rui, The First Generation, and the scientists of Denglin City...
All saw the starry sky gathering above the north side of the city.
Beneath the stars, an increasingly fierce and angry Jing Si and the rapidly intensifying breathing of Alpha were engaged in the most ultimate of domain duels.
And when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back at you.
Everyone saw the brilliant night sky, feeling the confrontation between the two celestial demons below.
But this perception, naturally, was mutual.
The weary Alpha managed to glance back at the distance.
He looked toward the direction of the cetery.
"So that’s how it is... everyone is hiding here."
The Space-Ti Labyrinth dissolved, and one of the largest obstacles to Alpha had vanished.
To defeat Jing Si would be difficult.
But to kill the rest, for Alpha, was rely a matter of blinking an eye.
All he had to do was wait for Jing Si to completely lose his sanity, and the great battle would thus end.
Those who had envisioned this scene included The First Generation and the Ten of Spades.
Despair appeared on everyone’s faces as they felt Alpha’s terrifying power; all their previous desire to fight were crushed.
"Are we... done for? It seems like Jing Si is going to go mad again?"
Xu Wei felt that surging restlessness, the murderous intent spreading between heaven and earth, making the souls of all creatures tremble.
That was not an aura emitted by Alpha. Even at this mont, Alpha revealed only weariness, without much emotional fluctuation.
No matter how strong Jing Si was, even strong enough to contend with him, he always calmly dealt with everything.
And now, he was even more composed.
"This battle is invisible to cause and effect, I think I understand why now, for from this day onwards, everything in this world will belong to the Twisted. History will be cut off from here, ti will vanish from this mont, all rules, from today on, as well as the will of the world, shall obey ."
He was like a king reigning supre, issuing judgnt on Jing Si about to be overwheld by fits of rage, and everything in this world.
At this mont, Alpha even beca stronger.
He faintly... heard the beating of his own heart, buried deep in the city.
...
...
"Hu... Stay calm."
The First Generation’s brow was tightly knitted, but he did not show fear.
He quickly analyzed the situation:
"Jing Si has no ti to catch his breath, we need to temporarily interrupt the duel between Alpha and Jing Si."
"That’s the first point, to bring Jing Si back to normal. The second point is to repair the Space-Ti Labyrinth. So Alpha cannot detect us, once we repair the labyrinth, we will be able to reactivate the formation. His perception of the Twisted Heart will also be blocked."
At this ti, The First Generation displayed astonishing judgnt.
Although he had not witnessed the battle between Jing Si and Alpha, The First Generation pinpointed the crux of the matter at a glance.
Jing Si was unable to launch Reincarnation, causing him to be exposed, with his power and Alpha’s power beginning to erode the Space-Ti Labyrinth.
The destruction of the labyrinth allowed Alpha to detect everyone and the location of the Twisted Heart.
So to fix everything, they first had to make Jing Si sober up.
While Jing Si had not completely lost his mind, they had to return him to a normal state.
Imdiately, he began the repair of the Space-Ti Labyrinth.
At this critical mont, The Pursuer’s gaze towards The First Generation changed once again.
Does this man... really not know what despair is?
Under such circumstances, does he still believe that humanity has hope?
Having already felt it, the all-destroying power of Alpha... he still has the will to fight?
At that mont, The Pursuer suddenly realized the gap between himself and a hero.
The First Generation beca even more composed:
"I shouldn’t be saying this now... The mission to embrace death should have been mine to undertake. But nding the Space-Ti Labyrinth... only I can do it."
"So... my friends, soone must, with a resolve to die and at the cost of overdrawing their life, use Temporal Power to keep Jing Si and Alpha apart."
To keep Jing Si and Alpha apart ant having to go to the center of their battle.
That was where Inverted Well and Well collided, the point of destruction that could obliterate everything.
And at that point, all power would be rendered ineffective.
But just like the outco between water and fire depends on their montum,
If water is stronger, it can extinguish the fla. If fire is stronger, it can turn water into steam.
To absolutely cut off Jing Si and Alpha’s realms, it was necessary to unleash enough montum for Temporal Power to burst forth like never before.
That way, at least Jing Si could be given a chance to catch his breath.
The First Generation saw things clearly, but who could calmly face death?
Xu Wei, afraid, lowered his head. Around that ultimate point, the black fog and black lightning that annihilated everything collided violently; he knew very well... once he went there, there was no chance of surviving.
Yin He and The Pursuer felt the sa; they were all prepared to offer their lives to correct the Twist.
But at that very mont, they couldn’t help but wonder... sacrificing their lives for just a second of respite for Jing Si, was it worth it?
Would the Twist be defeated after their sacrifice?
All had the courage to face death, but at the very mont it truly approached, when countless others ended their lives...
They all felt fear.
Witnessing the terrifying power bursting from that ultimate point, it was as if they had already seen death itself.
At this ti... deep in their hearts, there was dread.
Only one person suddenly started laughing:
"Then let do it, Master."
The First Generation was startled, looking at that "self" with a youthful air.
Privately, he had hoped that it would be The Pursuer, Xu Wei, Yin He...
And not the youth who had just bid farewell to Jiang Yimi not long ago.
Lin Rui.
"Co to think of it... dying because of Jing Si, it’s not the first ti, is it? For both of us, it’s not the first ti, right? Hahaha, maybe this is destiny?"
Lin Rui’s voice echoed between heaven and earth; as he spoke, without giving anyone the chance to refuse... he shifted into that most dangerous space.
The First Generation’s eyes were filled with imnse sorrow, he didn’t say much, only focusing on concentrating Temporal Power.
The taut, broken golden strands of Temporal Power around him were like endowed with vitality, beginning to grow wildly.
To repair the destroyed Space-Ti Labyrinth was also a kind of overdraft, wasn’t it?
But compared to everything Lin Rui had taken on, it all seed so trivial.
The Pursuer and his companions showed complex expressions.
It was a mix of guilt, sha, relief, and gratitude.
On the other side of the battlefield, Alpha furrowed his brows.
Because he saw the spectacular golden thunder snaking through the night sky below.
It was the imnse Temporal Power bursting forth by overdrawing life force, this power constantly gathering and gradually forming into a golden blade capable of opening the heavens and splitting the earth.
Between heaven and earth, the impassioned cry of one who was no longer a youth rang out:
"Master, you already have too many of your own legendary tales!"
"And my legend..."
Tears sparkled in The First Generation’s eyes. He summoned Lin Rui using the loopholes in the Temporal rules, the properties of Temporal Return, certainly not to watch this forr youth die again.
But at this mont... he could not change anything.
A figure with a decisive intent was moving toward the center of the two domains... towards that ultimate point.
It was the darkest point in the whole world, but that youthful figure—was like a moth darting towards a fla!
"And my legend... starts now!"
The vast golden blade descended from the sky, cutting towards the ultimate point. Even the pitch-black night was illuminated at that mont, like a swordsman bursting forth the supre sword strike at the cost of his life!
