"...Indeed."
With Richard’s reminder, Daoist Xuan Qing recalled that Dao Technique had been twisted. The once exquisitely refined Dao Technique had beco a series of gears that could only engage slightly. Although usable, its power and effect were greatly diminished compared to before.
"However, although Dao Technique has been twisted, the Heavenly Dao could never be twisted."
Daoist Xuan Qing waved the Seven Killings Sword in his hand, enveloping Mad Immortal in a fire sea capable of scorching the sky and boiling the ocean.
Even though Dao Technique was twisted, the Rules would not be. The Talent brought by the Rules would also not be twisted. Even if Dao Technique couldn’t be used, relying on the Talent Ability from the Rules, he could still employ many thods.
In the distance, Mad Immortal, mountain-like, waved a massive sleeve, and countless Daoist Texts instantly surfaced on his energy-condensed Daoist robe. The mont those texts appeared, Mad Immortal vanished from Richard’s perception.
Although he could still see Mad Immortal in the distance with the naked eye, his spiritual power couldn’t touch Mad Immortal.
"This is Near and Far."
Daoist Xuan Qing looked at Mad Immortal enveloped by the fire sea, yet unscathed, with a solemn expression.
"Near and Far is a Great Divine Power in the realm of space. It allows the user to create a world, rendering ordinary attacks unable to touch the immortal who used Near and Far."
"Create a world?"
Richard was montarily stunned, then quickly understood the exquisite nature of this Divine Skill. The World Barrier acts as the world’s shield, not only preventing external threats from invading but also preventing internal creatures from leaving.
Until the correct thod is used, pure physical ans can never touch the World Barrier.
Near and Far utilises this characteristic for defense.
"This technique is indeed mysterious; perhaps I can create sothing similar in the future."
Richard secretly noted this thought, flicking his Magic Wand, a Space Rift to the Fire Elent Territory appeared in the sky. A massive flood of Fire Elent poured into Richard’s Magic Wand like the heavenly river, and in the next mont, the Sun’s Vision with power reaching twenty million Energy Level burst forth from the wand’s tip.
Daoist Xuan Qing was slightly startled upon seeing this but then shook his head. Ordinary attacks are ineffective against Near and Far.
"Friend..."
Daoist Xuan Qing was about to explain the chanism of Near and Far in detail but paused as the Golden Light pierced Mad Immortal’s body.
"It really has been twisted, hasn’t it?" Richard looked at Mad Immortal and said blandly, "A distance that was once forever unreachable now has transford into an exceptionally far distance. As long as the attack is concentrated enough, Near and Far can only weaken the attack."
Daoist Xuan Qing was left awkwardly in place by Richard’s move. He was contemplating how to bypass Near and Far with Divine Skills, not expecting Richard to break through Near and Far straightaway with sheer strength.
"Roar!"
A shrill howl erged again, and this was the first ti Mad Immortal had genuinely been injured in the battle thus far. His vortex-like face began to swirl vigorously, and his enormous humanoid body began to writhe. Countless appendages erged from his skin, including human hands, beast feet, tentacles, bird claws, encompassing a wide variety.
When these appeared, a violent Energy Wave instantly swept across the Immortal Country. The fierce energy winds nearly uprooted ancient trees in the mountains.
Richard instinctively felt a dire premonition, his gigantic form shrinking back to normal size instantly.
In the next mont, billions of limbs moved simultaneously; divine skills, Dao Techniques released almost infinitely, fist wind, Sword Qi, Fire Dragon, Ice Wind, and countless Dao Techniques collected by the Supre Sect over hundreds of millennia surged towards Richard and Daoist Xuan Qing like tempestuous waves.
Dao Technique was indeed twisted, but not unusable. In absolute quantity, even if the power of Dao Technique Magic was small, its accumulation was enough to shake the heavens and the earth.
Monts later, the Dao Technique tide disappeared. High concentrations of elents caused an Elental Storm, and high concentrations of Active Energy caused an Energy Thunderstorm.
Amidst the thunder and storm, Richard removed the Energy Barrier, his body swelling once more into a hundred-ter giant. Behind him, the stretching mountain range was erased, with molten magma and charred earth extending from Richard’s feet to thousands of miles away.
Beside Richard, Daoist Xuan Qing’s head was drooped, his aura extrely languid. Daoist Xuan Qing did not have Richard’s acute danger sense, and when the Dao Technique tide arrived, although he also retracted his Rule Body and deployed defense in ti,
Ultimately, he was a step too late.
The Dao Technique tide instantly demolished his defense and, within a microsecond, also obliterated his Rule Body.
If not for being protected by the Power of the World, he would have long been reduced to ashes.
In the distance, Mad Immortal, mountain-sized, had already shrunk by half. To perform Dao Techniques requires Energy, and with Daoist Xuan Qing, this World Guardian, present, any energy mobilized by Mad Immortal from the Immortal Country would be noticed.
Thus, relying on instinct, Mad Immortal chose to use his own Energy.
"Friend, the battle ahead will likely rely mainly on you."
Daoist Xuan Qing’s voice was extrely weak; the Dao Technique tide had profoundly impacted him. Even with protection from the Power of the World ensuring his survival, the destruction of his Rule Body dealt a significant blow to his soul.
At present, his brain felt as if ten thousand burning red steel needles were stirring around; there was no chance of deploying Rule Body in a short ti.
"Mainly rely on ?"
Looking at Mad Immortal in the distance, Richard’s mind raced with thoughts. He pondered whether continuing to fight with Mad Immortal was worthwhile.
Mad Immortal might lack intellect, but his massive size enabled him to react instinctively to instantly kill an ordinary Forth Level creature. Although Richard was not ordinary, the result wouldn’t be much better.
"Should I rely on the Miracle Furnace?"
Richard’s Wand waved lightly, casting another Sun’s Vision. But this ti, there was a golden spark within the Sun’s Vision.
Boom!
The Sun’s Vision exploded on the Mad Immortal, and the spark adhered to the Mad Immortal. The golden flas burned fiercely, spreading like a prairie fire. But before it could spread, the Mad Immortal shuddered, and voluntarily severed that part of his body.
"As expected, even with just instinct remaining, he can isolate the flas."
Richard watched the Mad Immortal self-amputate, frowning involuntarily. The Miracle Fire takes ti to burn, unless it can explode inside the Mad Immortal, otherwise killing this Mad Immortal with the Miracle Fire is not an easy task.
Richard turned to Xuan Qing, asking, "I have a Magic Skill that can kill this Mad Immortal, but the conditions are very harsh."
"What conditions?"
"My Magic Skill needs to detonate inside the Mad Immortal to kill him."
"Detonate inside?"
Xuan Qing was montarily stunned, then realized Richard was referring to his fla.
"If you can detonate the fla inside him, then this Mad Immortal will surely die," Richard said decisively. "But if not, then I will have to leave."
"Leave? Can you really abandon this world?"
Richard replied calmly, "Abandoning it is not necessary, but I can seal the entrances between the Immortal Country and the Mortal World. This Mad Immortal has no intelligence, as long as I complete the sealing, he will have no chance to descend into the Mortal World again.
By then, I would have just taken a little less, that’s all."
As a Wizard, in such an unnecessary life-or-death struggle, Richard felt it was better to be more prudent. After all, the Mad Immortal isn’t going anywhere, and once he returns to the Wizard World and grows in power, this Mad Immortal will still be his.
"The Immortal Country doesn’t have a fixed entrance."
"But the World Guardian can fix the entrance to the Immortal Country."
The Immortal Country is essentially a Secret Realm within the world, as long as the World Guardian uses the Power of the World, fixing its coordinates is not difficult. If the Young Master had not yet grown, Richard wouldn’t even need the Immortal Village Envoy to open the gate, the Young Master could open the passage to the Immortal Country himself.
Richard’s response left Xuan Qing in silence.
In the distance, the Mad Immortal roared, and a torrent of Dao Techniques appeared again. But this ti, the Mad Immortal chose to mobilize the energy of the Immortal Country, so both were prepared for this strike.
The twisted and magnificent Elental Storm raged around Richard, and bright Energy Thunderstorms exploded continuously near the two.
In this apocalyptic scene, Xuan Qing gave his answer.
"Give the fla, and I will send it into his body."
"How will you send it?"
Xuan Qing’s expression was calm, "I will have him eat ."
Richard raised an eyebrow, "Why would he eat you?"
"... Because he is , and I am him. I am a fragnt of his soul, split long ago, ant to find strong individuals to kill him."
After a mont of silence, Xuan Qing finally revealed his greatest secret.
"... So, it is indeed like this," Richard said softly.
The Power of the World is not sothing just anyone can wield. Even if the world shatters, the Power of the World belongs to the strongest fragnt. Xuan Qing knowing the identity and origin of the Mad Immortal, the Divine Skill Dao Techniques, and with his soul seal removed, his tone carried the pride of civilization over the natives.
It was hard for Richard not to associate Xuan Qing with the Mad Immortal.
The Fire Spirit God once said, the Sect Leader of the Supre Sect is a person of strong and carefree nature; death is not a difficult choice for him.
"Did fellow Daoist already guess?" The Supre Sect Leader looked at the Mad Immortal, sighing slightly.
"Lucky for , I’m about to die. Otherwise, if soone saw like this, I would die of sha."
Richard didn’t say much, just conjured a cluster of Miracle Fire on his fingertip.
"I look forward to the great benefits you promised, Sect Leader."
The Supre Sect Leader turned and took the fla in his hand, where a dense Power of the World enveloped the fla like amber.
"Fellow Daoist’s fla is extraordinary, does it co from a Supre Treasure?"
"When the fla finishes burning, you will naturally know."
The Supre Sect Leader made a Daoist salute with a smile, "Then I will await the enlightennt from fellow Daoist."
With that, the Supre Sect Leader transford into mist, flying swiftly towards the Mad Immortal.
Like a moth to a fla.
