Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 115 Breaking the Formation
During the Primordial Era, the status of magic-based extraordinary beings was quite high... especially those at the fourth rank and above, who were often revered as the strongest among their peers. Logically speaking, with this envoy's strength, he could be considered a legend among magic-based beings.

But after smashing the magical shield created by the envoy with a single punch, Mu Xiang was somewhat surprised.

Watching the envoy retreat rapidly, Mu Xiang flicked his wrist, then chuckled, "You... haven't mastered the microscopic technique?"

The enhancement of the extraordinary system is not merely the accumulation of power or the increase of energy. Perhaps the progression from first to third tier can be summarized in this way, but a third-tier extraordinary individual, considered a high-level professional, should engage in a deeper application and research of their power, ultimately reaching the fourth tier where a subtle qualitative change occurs…

This is what Mu Xiang learned from the "Primordial Era Calendar".

However, the envoy in front of him, although far exceeding the third rank in terms of energy intensity, seemed to be missing something.

The minister remained silent, his hands barely moving, when two green lights appeared. Strange patterns flowed within the green lights, unlike those of the previous counselor.

"Not even at the level of subtlety... what kind of fourth rank is that?" Mu Xiang was somewhat disappointed. The next moment, he appeared in front of the minister and threw two punches at once.

The envoy swung his left hand, barely deflecting both fists, then pressed his right hand against Mu Xiang's chest. He was in a difficult position; in truth, he wasn't entirely lacking in subtle abilities, but simply hadn't reached a sufficient level…

Otherwise, how could he be just a minister?
Mu Xiang was slightly surprised. Both of his punches were met with explosive resistance from the green light. He dared not be careless and instantly darted dozens of meters behind him, looking at the minister across the distance.

It's not that bad...

Seeing the envoy's attack miss, Mu Xiang took a deep breath, about to unleash a gust of wind. Unexpectedly, a wave of almost convulsive discomfort surged through his body, causing him to instantly activate his gene lock and dodge to the side.

A burst of green light exploded where he had just been standing... If Mu Xiang hadn't dodged, it might have exploded inside him.

Mu Xiang looked intently at the envoy, then his whole body rippled with energy as he launched a preemptive attack.

Beneath his feet, the temperature soared to over two thousand degrees Celsius, and Zheng Zha was engaged in his own battle.

It turns out that the green light that erupted within the barrier earlier was not an attack targeting them, but rather an energy shockwave triggered by some kind of formation.

The ground was covered with markings in the shape of strange patterns, which were small, interconnected arrays. Within these arrays, new bodies kept emerging and rushing straight towards Zheng Zha.

Zheng Zha wasn't sure if it was some kind of creation array or a teleportation array, but he instinctively felt that the array's true intention wasn't to kill him... but to buy time!

Ferocious wings unfurled behind Zheng Zha, who surveyed his surroundings with bewildered eyes. Then, the flames around him subsided slightly, while deep red flames rose from beneath his feet.

Then, ignoring the deformed flesh and green missiles rushing towards him from all directions, he began to run wildly across the ground.

Zheng Zha didn't understand the mysteries of formations, but he could sense the energy differences when different formations clashed with the red flames... So, he used compressed red flames to destroy all those abnormal formations!
Seeing Zheng Zha gliding away while running wildly, the minister's expression, hidden under his mask, changed slightly, and he reached out to make a gesture.

Mu Xiang saw it clearly. His right hand shimmered with golden light, and he extended his sword finger, instantly unleashing a ripple that struck the minister's hand.

"You dared to get distracted..." Mu Xiang sneered, "Looks like I haven't put enough pressure on you?"

Then, his muscles swelled up considerably, and he launched a fierce attack on the envoy.

The minister held his hands in a mudra in front of his chest, but surprisingly neither dodged nor avoided the attack.

Mu Xiang landed several punches on the green aura emanating from the envoy, the last one even sending him staggering backward. But this didn't do any harm to Mu Xiang, so he turned and punched the envoy again.

The envoy snorted coldly, and his body turned into green light and dissipated.

[I'm not trying to escape!]

Mu Xiang's mind raced, and he instantly dodged. Then, a green beam of light erupted from the spot where he had just been standing; had he been any slower, he would have been hit.

The beam of light shot skyward and pierced the earth, not only tearing a large hole in the barrier far above but also creating a deep opening at the bottom of the pit. The force of this burst of light was something that dozens or even hundreds of advisors combined could not achieve.

Just as Mu Xiang dodged the attack, another green light shot past his shoulder. Only after Mu Xiang ducked downwards did a deafening sonic boom occur.

"Interesting," Mu Xiang murmured, then turned around in an unusual trajectory, dodging another attack of green light.

[Does the physical body disappear and become pure energy?]

Mu Xiang took a few steps away, occasionally scattering a green light with his hand. Then he suddenly realized something and, without hesitation, flew off in the direction Zheng Zha had gone.

Behind him, streaks of green light burst forth and intertwined, but it was clear that they could no longer stop him.

Within a few breaths, Mu Xiang saw Zheng Zha's back, but he didn't chase after him... His blank eyes swept over a spot not far behind Zheng Zha, and Mu Xiang charged down, knocking away a solid green light.

This green light was different from the previous energy pillar; when Mu Xiang collided with it, he could feel that it had a physical form.

Sure enough, as the green light bounced backward, the envoy's true form was revealed.

“A trick…” Mu Xiang said in a low voice, and then took a step forward.

At this moment, the envoy's aura weakened somewhat. His earlier attempt to hold off Mu Xiang had essentially diverted a portion of his magic power to erupt in that area. However, Mu Xiang's speed surpassed the speed at which the magic would take effect, and he directly caught up with the envoy, rendering his efforts futile.

But as Mu Xiang stepped forward, an extremely dazzling green light shone in the minister's hand.

"Zheng Zha, watch out!" Mu Xiang shouted, and with a swift movement of his feet, he left only a blur.

Then came a terrifying surge of energy, carving a deep trench from the envoy's feet to the other side of the barrier. Green light lingered on the shattered earth and rocks.

Mu Xiang appeared beside the envoy, a slight sigh escaping his lips… Judging solely from its destructive power, this guy was indeed a legendary-level being. Or rather, a fourth-tier, early-stage magical extraordinary being…

However, without paying attention to detail, it's impossible to truly differentiate yourself from me!

Mu Xiang slammed his knee into the ambassador's abdomen. The green light that erupted from the point of impact caused a sharp pain in Mu Xiang's knee, but he had managed to dodge the ambassador's defenses with his fists, so he had achieved his goal.

When dealing with a fourth-tier magic user, don't think that you can win just by getting close... Getting close is only the first step to winning.

The envoy was sent flying by Mu Xiang's knee strike, which was several times faster than sound. Although he was unharmed due to the energy shield around him, he was still taken aback. Mu Xiang then jumped with all his might, breaking the sound barrier, and caught up with the envoy in mid-air, slamming him into the ground with a powerful punch.

A huge crater was suddenly blasted into the ground, dust filled the air, and Mu Xiang stomped down on it.

Amidst the dust and smoke, the envoy's eyes glowed with an eerie green light, and two different patterns, connected across the distance, appeared in his pupils.

The moment Mu Xiang saw his eyes, a familiar feeling welled up inside him... It was the disconnect between mind and body.

[He was able to use this move directly instead of relying on an array?]

But then, Mu Xiang's eyes suddenly flashed with a blinding red light, giving the minister a bad feeling.

The spell failed the moment he could no longer see Mu Xiang's eyes!

A burst of heat shot from Mu Xiang's eyes, slamming into the ambassador's face and exploding into a burst of green light; Mu Xiang's movements were no longer hindered, and he stepped on the ambassador's chest.
