From the end of the world

Chapter 617 VS Demon Kirin 2
This is not the first time I have witnessed large-scale human deaths, and I have seen large-scale regional destruction many times since I became the Great Impermanence. Now I am not the kind of person who would be terrified by a small matter like "a lot of people died."

However, everything has its limits. The scene where an entire city with millions of people was wiped out in an instant is believed to have happened only a few times in human history. Although a large city in the south was recently affected by the conflict between Xuan Ming and Taoyuan Township Lord Meng Zhang, I did not really see the scene inside. This is the first time I have seen such destruction in my life.

It’s not like I haven’t had similar destructive fantasies in the past. After all, as a Great Impermanence, when I walk in the city, I occasionally think, “What if I suddenly destroy this city?” I do have such power. In fact, I pursue the end of the world for my own adventure, which is an act of disregarding the life and death of all mankind. In comparison, the death of millions of people is nothing. It’s just one thousandth of the total human population.

But thinking about it in your head is completely different from seeing it with your own eyes. I must admit that for a moment, I was shocked by the devastation.

Fa Zheng's angry and grief-stricken roar was heard in the distance.

So many lives that had to be protected were lost at once, and this battle was a huge failure for Fa Zheng. Ironically, it was precisely because so many lives were lost that the power of the Humane Divine Soldiers actually increased.

However, I didn't have time to pay attention to Fa Zheng anymore, let alone immerse myself in the shock in my heart. The Great Demon Qilin seized the tiny flaw that briefly appeared in my consciousness.

When I reacted, a huge force hit my face first. It felt like my head was run over by a train. My head was shattered and my soul was severely damaged to a fatal level. The pain dragged my consciousness back.

My attention returned to my opponent, and my head and soul were instantly repaired. The Great Demon Kirin was obviously aware of my immortality, and I could feel its gaze constantly penetrating into my essence. The information gap seemed to be disappearing, and from the next attack, it would probably be aimed at my true spirit.

What is even more worrying is that we don't know if the number of enemies will increase again. The third big demon has already appeared, and there is no guarantee that the fourth and fifth will not appear. The current situation is already difficult enough. If the number continues to increase, Fa Zheng and I will definitely lose.

No, regardless of whether the fourth head will appear or not, the fifth head is unlikely to appear.

Ma had told me before that by the time she traveled through time, the number of gods and demons still alive in the "Apocalypse" was at most ten. Counting Huang Quan who died in my hands, there were three gods and one demon in the Gospel Courtyard. Add the demon of disaster and the demon Xuanwu who were killed by me, and the demons Qilin, Dizang, and Yulei who appeared now, there are nine in total. There may or may not be a tenth one.

Considering that Ma mentioned long ago that the number of demons was ten at most, there might be more "dead demons who died in the past and were resurrected recently". Even considering that the Gospel of Naraku might have the power to summon a new doomsday demon, there is no guarantee that there won't be more, but at least I didn't hear any similar signs from No. 7 before leaving the afterlife, so I won't consider it for now. The situation shouldn't be that bad for the time being.

Speaking of possible enemy reinforcements, I am also somewhat concerned about why my own reinforcements have not yet arrived. At the very least, Gua Tianshi and Jian Feixian should have noticed the fighting here, so why haven't they arrived yet?
I controlled the flames to launch a counterattack against the Great Demon Kirin, but it dodged all of them at super speed.

Its current speed has increased to more than sixty times my maximum speed. From its perspective, my current movements are probably no different from the crawling of a snail. The idea of ​​"aiming at it" to attack was wrong from the beginning. With this in mind, I simply launched a sea of ​​fire that covered the sky and the sun in the air with all my strength, hoping to capture it in this way.

However, as an attack, the super-large sea of ​​fire is bound to have a huge defect in density and cannot pose a decent threat. Although I can increase the density of any part of the sea of ​​fire to a point that is enough to destroy the Great Demon Kirin, every time I increase the density of the corresponding position, the Great Demon Kirin will move away from there. Since I can't find its movement pattern, there is no way to make a good prediction in advance.

Even if it can be predicted, it is useless. The act of increasing density itself is a process. The speed of the flame depends on the speed of my consciousness. People often say that the speed of thinking is faster than light, but that is just a romantic proposition. In fact, the physical speed of the Great Demon Kirin is gradually surpassing the speed of my consciousness. I also know that these two speeds do not constitute a comparative relationship, but anyway, this is the case. It will not crash into a high-density place by itself, nor will it wait for the density of its location to "slowly" increase.

Of all martial arts in the world, speed is the only thing that cannot be defeated... In most battles, speed is a more critical performance than attack and defense. Overwhelming speed is enough to dominate everything; and as a big demon that is good at close combat, its body also has excellent defense. Combined with its absurd speed, it is a killing weapon sharper than any other weapon.

It is like an indestructible steel knife. It causes little damage but can hit the vital points directly and is extremely deadly.

Its speed is getting faster and faster, and in my observations and calculations, it has soared to one tenth the speed of light.

Now I could only rely on its wake to belatedly judge its trajectory and speed. The next moment, I felt a huge force hitting me again. I was attacked - even this thought came to me belatedly.

My soul was pierced, and my true spirit was damaged. Although I am confident that I can be compared with Xuanming in terms of pure strength, if Xuanming himself were here, he would definitely not bear the attack alone. In his long life, he must have mastered at least five or six methods to deal with "ridiculous enemies". If there is any gap between me and the veteran Da Wuchang, it is probably in this part.

It's not like I've never thought of a countermeasure against a high-speed enemy, but the Great Demon Kirin is really too ridiculous.

If there is any consolation now, it is that the time in the corona form is definitely enough.

In the past, I obtained a large amount of "slag" by killing life turbidity, but because I mainly relied on the fire of clarification at that time, and the density of my flame was not enough, the efficiency of destroying the high-density soul of life turbidity was not so sufficient. Therefore, although the harvest was quite good, the amount of "slag" obtained was not completely corresponding to the number of times I killed life turbidity.

Recently, I have killed the Great Demon of Disaster, Huangquan and the Great Demon Xuanwu one after another, and the amount of "slag" I have obtained has freed me from the anxiety of the endurance of the corona form. I no longer need to worry too much about the problem of long-term battles.

Also, because the density of my soul is extremely high now, even if it is destroyed, a considerable part of the enemy's power can be offset before it reaches my true spirit, and I will no longer be seriously injured.

The existence density of me and the Great Demon Qilin is actually almost the same, but unfortunately fire is a force with expansive and offensive properties, and its stability and defense are naturally insufficient.

The speed of the Demon Kirin increased again, as if it was certain that I had no power to fight back, and its attacks became more and more bold. Punches, kicks, elbow strikes, knee strikes, shoulder strikes... I felt like I was being smashed to pieces by all kinds of attacks, and at the same time, I was analyzing the secret of its acceleration.

There must be a limit to its acceleration, but it seems that it has not reached the bottleneck at this stage. It has almost accelerated to one-ninth of the speed of light, and is still rising, but it still does not produce any aftershocks. It is like an aircraft with the ultimate fluid mechanics assistance, and the air resistance is zero.

It was more than just no resistance. It was as if there were countless forces pushing it to speed up. Gradually, I seemed to understand its capabilities to some extent.

The world we live in has countless invisible forces. Not only wind and solar power, but also the earth's magnetic field and gravity at the macro level, the interaction between atoms and molecules at the micro level, and even the vacuum has quantum fluctuations. These are just the forces at the physical level, and the forces at the mystical level are also countless. From another perspective, the material world is a vast ocean of energy.

The martial arts created by the old boxing god in the past, as he said, were partly derived from a discussion of martial arts with a mysterious boy in a dream, and it was a specious product. It is said that the Great Impermanence Kirin inherited this unfinished achievement from the old boxing god, and partially adapted it according to his own understanding. Although it is unknown what kind of incredible martial arts it is, we may be able to get a glimpse of it from the current Great Demon Kirin.

If we compare the world we live in to a precision machine formed by countless gears and levers, a normal person in this world is like a grain of sand falling into the middle of the machine, which will inevitably cause friction and blockage with the surrounding environment; while the Qilin seems to be seamlessly integrated into the interior of the machine. Not only does it not encounter any resistance, it can also use the power of the machine to accelerate its movement.

This seems similar to the concept of "harmony between man and nature" pursued by martial artists, and also like the correct position of the Son of Divinity in accordance with the laws of heaven and earth, but there are some decisive differences.

According to legend, the ideal state pursued by the old boxing god is to achieve the same effect without using all magic power, and even with the flesh of ordinary people, the same thing can be done. But I really don't think that ordinary people can run at one-ninth of the speed of light by learning martial arts. That is absolutely a foolish dream.

The Demon Kirin continued to accelerate, and it smashed my body again. I seemed unable to get rid of the disadvantage, but I was not the one who was at a disadvantage. Slowly, I was convinced of my victory.

I can fall many times, but if it falls once, there is no recovery.

Finally, at a certain moment, when I launched a counterattack again, although it dodged as usual, I heard a sharp cracking sound coming from its body out of nowhere, and its speed dropped for the first time.
