Ti raced forward. The Immortal Realm crumbled a double-speed. The Immortals fled, hiding at last in Heart Lotus City as the last scraps of the Immortal Realm crumbled away. Heart Lotus City floated in the void for a ti, then began to fall apart itself. Soon nothing remained, except Huis cardinal beasts, the white-robed Hui, and the Golden Immortal.
The white-robed Hui looked at the Golden Immortal. Now I possess the Immortal Realm, he declared, patting the garbage realm. And you possess nothing.
The Golden Immortal threw back his head and laughed. Ah! I did make the right choice. How amusing. No, youve never tried this before. Destroying the Immortal Realm incredible. It has weakened . Do you think you can destroy , now?
From Seniors confidence? No, Hui said.
Thats correct. No. You are still nothing but an usurper, and , the absolute, the Golden Immortal declared. He threw his hand out. Loss flowed through the white-robed Hui, an intense, cold feeling, as ti rolled backward. The Immortal Realm reford, the cardinal beasts retreating, until the Golden Immortal froze it once more at the mont when the cardinal beasts stood at their directions, ready to send energy into the dragon veins. It was a quaint idea, a myopic guess at the extent of my power. But if thats all the more you have, then Im afraid this is yet another loss for you.
Hui grit his teeth. Im not giving up yet. He threw his hands out, clutching the power of ti once more. I only have a limited understanding of ti, based on what little I could glean from the Golden Immortals understanding of ti by watching the loops from outside but even so! Yanking with all his might, he sent the power of ti flowing backward, focusing it on the Golden Immortal.
The Golden Immortal frowned. He squinted at Hui. What are you doing?
Without a word, Hui sent more of the power of ti hurtling at the Golden Immortal. The Golden Immortal raised his hand, deflecting it. Hui twisted his hand, and the power of ti whipped around and shot at the Golden Immortal from behind. He jerked out of the way, narrowly dodging the beam.
Interesting. Thats the first ti hes defended or dodged an attack. Hui quickly spawned a ntal clone and handed over control of the first attack to it. He grabbed more of the power of ti and sent it flying at the Golden Immortal, then more, then more, until all the ntal clones were busy sending beams of ti at the Golden Immortal. Gripping one himself, Hui joined the clones, relentlessly pursuing the Golden Immortal.
The Golden Immortal dodged, deflecting another three attacks with quick palm strikes, then slamd his foot down. A shockwave spread through the air, disrupting the power of ti. Ti fell into chaos, shattering all around them.
Hui stepped forward and found himself three steps back, twenty seconds ago. The Golden Immortal lood, only to reappear past him, his blow already completed. Everything stopped, and Hui helplessly watched the Golden Immortal approach, drawing his sword, only to suddenly teleport backward, hemd in by Huis beams of the power of ti.
Below them, the Immortal Realm ran smoothly backward, progressing rapidly toward the very beginning of the Immortal Realm.
Ti is going wild. In that case, the counter move is to have more pawns to move! Hui closed his eyes for a mont, focusing on the birds and quickly passing them power, then threw out his hand. All the birds in his dantian flew forth, charging toward the Golden Immortals various spawn points.
The Golden Immortal appeared, and instantly found himself surrounded by red ducks. The ducks closed in on him, biting down on his robes. Confused more than scared, he frowned at the ducks.
Now! Hui flicked his hand. The power of ti flowed out from the ducks, targeting the Golden Immortal.
The Golden Immortal scoffed. He slashed his sword around him, cutting the ducks in half. They dissipated with a sad quack, vanishing into the air.
Hui felt a sudden loss. He stumbled back, flashing forward mid-stumble. Despite the shift in ti, the loss didnt vanish. Touching his dantian, he frowned. Even in chaotic ti, if I lose sothing, it remains gone. That if we were truly in chaotic ti, that wouldnt happen.
No. My, and more importantly, the Golden Immortals, comprehension of ti is lacking.
Gritting his teeth, he glared at the Golden Immortal, even as ti flickered him up and down, left and right. If only I could pass this on to the next version of .
I wonder how many tis Ive faced him? How many versions of have died, truly, beyond any ability to recover? How many tis have I realized this, and still been unable to counter it?
Its hard. The power of ti is hard. If I could stay conscious this whole ti, maybe I could comprehend it enough to overco the Golden Immortal, but the reset, the constant loss and beginning again
I cant call on Ying Lin or Master. Not now. If I lose here, the Golden Immortal will not kill . He still needs . I need to save my true, truly expendable trump cards for the very last mont, when I have victory well in hand.
But maybe He went to form a clone, then stopped himself. Even if I make sothing now, itll get destroyed by the chaotic ti. I can lose things within myself, and gain them, I suspect, but outside of my body Just to check, he rubbed his hands together and threw out a seed, but the second it left his hand, it vanished, reappeared, then appeared once more, withered to death.
Mmm. This is almost certainly a loss, and its a loss I dont know how to recover from. What do I need to do?
What if I could make it an absolute loss? A loss even the Golden Immortal couldnt bear? If I can defuse the situation right now, and get outside of the chaotic ti, then I have a chance of sending myself a ssage or sohow securing my mories for future . Or rather it isnt possible to defuse this situation. No! Im going to blow it up directly.
And by it, I an .
Hui paused. He put a hand to the top of his head. Golden Immortal! Ill destroy myself!
The Golden Immortal squinted skeptically at him. Yes?
Completely and fully. Ill completely erase myself from ti, Hui threatened him.
The Golden Immortals look turned even more skeptical.
Hui coughed. Dammit, he knows too well. Well, okay. Ill be reasonable about it. Im not going to kill myself. But! I will, absolutely, fully and truly, destroy all my mories of my first world. I will make myself completely useless to you!
No.
Unless you
The Golden Immortals hand appeared in Huis vision and clamped down on his head. Dragging him, the Golden Immortal flew directly through the chaotic ti. Circling, he closed in on the Immortal Realm, even as the Immortal Realm continued to fly backward in ti. This far back in ti, the Immortal Realm was barely as large as the mortal realm, and rapidly diminishing in size.
Hui grappled at his hand, startled. Er, did I accidentally, maybe proc Seniors aggro a little too hard?
