this infinite world

"Three thousand five hundred and seventy-two times. This is the remaining number of your lives together."

"Don't worry that the immortal will detect my whereabouts. I have used the power of the List of Conferred Gods to quietly place our conversation in the gap of time and space. It will completely disappear as the causal line dissipates, and become the truth of 'never existed'. Even the immortal cannot see through it, let alone know the secret of why you did not perish under his attack..."

As Chu Xuan's subtle instructions that seemed to come from nothingness gradually dissipated in the ears of the two, Yang Yun and Zheng Zha returned to the real battlefield from the dark space at the same time.

When they regained their consciousness, they almost simultaneously locked their gazes forward. Even though it was a fleeting moment, Yang Yun and Zheng Zha were still able to catch a glimpse of rare surprise in the non-face's gaze, which had always maintained a relaxed attitude since its appearance.

——Chu Xuan’s strategy worked.

Although this change was insignificant, it proved that Yang Yun and Zheng Zha were safe and sound, which was beyond Feimian's expectation. In this battle that was destined to be extremely difficult for the Zhongzhou team, any emotional fluctuations of the enemy would become an opportunity to take advantage of... At this moment, the two of them almost immediately adjusted their postures and prepared to meet the attack.

"...I must admit that you guys surprised me a little."

After that brief moment of surprise, Feimian quickly adjusted his mood. His eyes became interested again, and there was a gleam of exploration in his eyes, which was the desire of every cultivator who pursues the truth.

——But Feimian’s inquisitive eyes were not as pure and flawless as Qi Tengyi’s. There seemed to be some ominous malice mixed in them.

Feimian's voice was calm and full of confidence, like a teacher evaluating two unexpected students: "Although I didn't see how you were resurrected at the moment, you are still just a minor path after all, unable to escape the cage of the Great Dao of Cultivation. Watch how I break it..."

His voice revealed his contempt for this battle and his absolute confidence in victory. Rather than a provocation to Yang Yun and Zheng Zha, this was more like a declaration. He believed that no matter what strategy the opponent adopted, he would always find a way to break it... In Feimian's eyes, the resistance of the Zhongzhou team was nothing but a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and he was the unstoppable wheel!
As soon as he finished speaking, Feimian made a hand gesture and gently drew a line in front of his eyes, as if he had opened an invisible door in the void. As his eyes suddenly emitted a dazzling light, the energy flow of the entire world seemed to be completely revealed, and all the secrets were revealed at this moment...

Being stared at directly by these eyes, Yang Yun and Zheng Zha instantly felt a sense of being completely seen through, as if no secrets could be hidden under these eyes full of insight.

"…Why can't I see through your cause and effect?"

However, the next moment, Feimian frowned, and he waved his hand to disperse the golden light in his eyes. He was a little confused, but more suddenly he said: "Oh, I understand, maybe this is the power of the 'Lord God'. It not only gives you the power to resurrect, but also completely cuts off all the causes and effects of you. In this way..."

"Can't I just kill you until you can't be resurrected?"

Along with Feimian's shouting, Yang Yun and Zheng Zha, who had anticipated this, both took defensive postures. This time, they used almost all their energy on perception, trying to detect the trajectory of Feimian's attack... But even so, apart from sensing more clearly that their bodies seemed to be pierced by thousands of lightning bolts at the same time and then suddenly exploded, they didn't even see Feimian raising his hand!
"Oh, resurrected again... Really, I haven't encountered such an interesting thing for a long time." Watching Zheng Zha's body become intact again in the next moment, even the repair time was erased, as if it was refreshed out of thin air. The desire for knowledge in Feimian's eyes surged again, and the ominous malice became more obvious: "I'm really curious, how many times can you be resurrected..."

"My Lord... I have heard that there is an insurmountable gap between saints and non-saints, and that immortals who are comparable to saints can use the method of cultivation to enter a realm beyond imagination."

Suddenly, Yan's extremely solemn reminder sounded in Yang Yun's heart. As Yang Yun's weapon, she seemed to have enjoyed the effect of "refusing death" under the protection of the List of Gods: "This has nothing to do with energy, subtlety, or the use of the light of the soul. It is purely a qualitative difference..."

"Well, I roughly understand the gap between us and the immortals. It is much greater than I thought. Just as you said, it is a fundamental gap... If we can't find the key to break the deadlock, then we will never be able to achieve the final victory."

Feeling the pain coming from all over his body, which was even worse than before, Yang Yun took a deep breath and responded in his mind: "So now it's a competition of speed. Let's see if Zheng Zha and I can find a way to break the deadlock first, or if our lives are completely exhausted..."

——Also, why did I suddenly raise my left hand to try to protect my vital parts, but Zheng Zha didn’t react at all?
——And why did the immortal standing opposite us completely ignore Zheng Zha's "Lei Xi, Fa Huang Tian", but instead took my "Spear Shining at the End" and crushed it completely?
"Oh, by the way, before we start, we must not forget the main business."

Deep inside Yang Yun's mind was spinning rapidly, trying to find clues behind those feelings of disharmony, and his contemplation was suddenly interrupted by the scene before him.

Feimian seemed to have thought of something at this moment. He turned around, his eyes piercing through the chaos of the battlefield and looking into the distance at the space passage that had stabilized again, but at this moment seemed to be turbulent again with the entry of "Gun God". He slowly raised his right hand -

"Snapped."

It was clearly just an ordinary snap of the fingers, but the crisp sound it produced suddenly penetrated all the noise and resounded in every corner of the battlefield. An indescribable invisible shock wave swept out from the source of the snap, carrying incredible power, causing cracks to appear in the dimensional barrier, shattering invisibly like fragile glass...

The originally stable space channel now rapidly expanded under the influence of this force, and its size expanded rapidly, like a balloon filled with gas. Its size continued to grow, far exceeding its previous size, until it formed a huge portal -

"boom!"

At the moment when countless heavenly troops poured into the plane like a flood, the four-armed Xuanhuang God of Death, with an indescribable terrifying aura, completely descended on the battlefield! (End of this chapter)
