Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 310: Degree
The moon blade, which shot out, split into three in mid-air, but its power remained undiminished, its target being the three emerald hands.

With this slash, Mu Xiang was able to catch his breath, but Zheng Zha was plunged into another fierce battle.

Wherever the pitch-black, shattered branch passed, the air cooled down... It wasn't that the sword was too cold, but rather that all the heat and hidden black flames were absorbed by the giant sword, turning into terrifying pillars of fire on its blade.

The Jade Supreme's gaze remained unchanged. He rarely looked directly at Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha... Both of them were filled with murderous intent and had ferocious expressions, but the Jade statue remained calm and composed.

A jade-green finger pointed at the Branch of Destruction, and this enormous sword, already immeasurably large including the pillar of fire, was actually stopped by this slender finger.

Zheng Zha roared, and red and black energy surged from his six arms... His Asura Battle Qi erupted, and the giant sword trembled slightly before continuing to press forward.

The Jade Supreme's gaze shifted slightly, and two beams of green light coiled around the giant sword and the pillar of fire. In less than a moment, the two beams of green light locked onto the black flame pillar, rendering the giant sword immobile.

Zheng Zha looked up and saw the two green lights, like blue snakes, and his expression turned grim... If he had only been blocked by overwhelming power, he wouldn't be like this. What truly made him pale was the trajectory of the green lights!

Those two green lights were clearly in the opposite direction to his black flames... The structure of the black flames was directly destroyed in front of these two seemingly weak green lights.

The next moment, the black fire pillar, which was tens of meters long, began to collapse. Zheng Zha only had time to summon the black flames back before he was slapped away by a palm.

Jade Supreme Master raised one hand, still maintaining a dignified and solemn appearance, as if it were just a gesture during a sermon.

Zheng Zha had a large hole through his chest.

Zheng Zha didn't spit blood; instead, he flew backward, spitting a stream of red flame onto his chest. Then, green light emerged from the horrific wound, and the flesh began to writhe and heal.

"Vampires..." The Emerald Supreme chuckled, but there was no real joy in his laughter. "They've been lackeys of humans for who knows how long... I've seen countless reincarnation teams, each generation with numerous vampire enhancers. It's truly ironic... They can't even protect their own bloodline, and in terms of strength, they can't even compare to humans from bandits. How pathetic and laughable."

Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha did not answer. Zheng Zha gripped the giant sword with three hands on his right side and began to move around, ignoring the large hole in his chest. After catching his breath, Mu Xiang launched another attack without hesitation.

"Let alone vampires who have submitted, even humans are cruel to their own kind... Why do you have to be experimental subjects?" The Emerald Supreme clapped his hands in front of him, seemingly clapping forward, but forcing Zheng Zha to parry with his sword from the side; behind him, he formed three hand seals, which emitted bursts of light, causing Mu Xiang to dodge.

“Since I have vowed to guide you all, I will never kill you. Surrender and take refuge, and you will be spared the suffering of this physical body. Listening to my teachings is far better than fighting to the death for those saints and creating unnecessary karmic obstacles.”

Mu Xiang twisted his body and drew his sword, flashing several green lights as moonlight burst forth, cleaving the path ahead. He sneered, "And then you'll end up like these pathetic wretch, your cultivation wasted like expendable resources?"

The Jade Supreme turned his face behind his head to Mu Xiang, reaching out to brush away the glint of the blade: "You, however, possess a compassionate heart... The cultivation of mortals is finite, their lives are stagnant, and they ultimately return to nothingness. No matter how strong their brute force, it will decay. They offer up their physical bodies, yet they can enter my divine kingdom and gain immortality. Isn't that a meritorious deed?"

Mu Xiang thrust his blade towards the back of his head, a burst of emerald light deflecting the blade. Mu Xiang moved swiftly, dodging a silent palm strike, and then thrust his blade again: "Eh? Why don't you mention the Buddhist Kingdom?" The Emerald Supreme Being said calmly: "Those who become saints are first and foremost saints and deities, only then can they speak of being holy or sacred. I have broken free from false laws and severed ties with those pseudo-Buddhists of the human race. If I cannot see through this, how am I different from them? Those Buddhist saints are merely using the masses as a facade, taking a minority of humans as their foundation. Since they cannot truly save all beings, so-called Buddhas are nothing more than using Buddhist teachings to manage themselves."

"How is this any different from ordinary saints and saintly positions? It's all just pretense. Since I hold the true Dharma, I don't use origins as a boundary. Anyone who enters my school can be saved, so why bother calling on that empty name of Buddha?"

Mu Xiang sheathed his sword to block the attack and gracefully retreated: "Damn, from what you're saying... you're a traitor to Buddhism, a saint of all races? Why don't you become a saint? Is it because you don't want to?"

“You’re still attached to appearances… Although we are destined to meet, you’re misled by appearances and have become 80% foolish,” said the Jade Supreme Master calmly. Then, several jade-colored palms fell towards Mu Xiang. “In the end, I will enlighten you and help you achieve great wisdom.”

"Looks like I was right." Mu Xiang laughed. "Then you don't need to act like you're the only one who's clear-headed... What do your methods have to do with the orthodox Buddhist path, besides gathering faith? If they don't align with their orthodox path, even Mara, a Buddha born of the human race, would be expelled, let alone an ordinary saint like you?"

The Emerald Supreme's gaze suddenly fixed on Mu Xiang, and the terrifying pressure made Mu Xiang shrug.

His calm voice carried a hint of coldness: "You little rascal, you know quite a lot... Then I'll take you under my wing and see where you've come from."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha's eyes widened, and he unleashed three bursts of black flames. Mu Xiang, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief.

[No need to worry about him destroying the base on his own initiative...]

The next moment, all of the Emerald Supreme's arms unfolded... He had only used five hands before, but now thousands of arms appeared around his body in succession, yet there was no sense of abruptness.

Without him exerting any force, those palms launched an attack throughout the entire space.

Just like Mu Xiang's previous perception... these emerald hands, though only around the Emerald Supreme, could cover the entire space. The question of distance was meaningless, because he was so enormous. To the naked eye, he appeared to be standing still, but in reality, he had filled the entire base!
Zheng Zha had three arms knocked off by a palm strike, and dodged to the side, his red flames still radiating. Before the red flames could turn into black flames, Zheng Zha controlled them to form a wall of fire, barely managing to block the remaining attacks.

"Damn it, how are we supposed to fight?" Zheng Zha roared.

Mu Xiang's force field surged wildly. This invisible barrier, driven by energy and killing intent, was like a bubble beneath the emerald palm. He activated the Candle again, instantly unleashing hundreds of slashes in all directions, shattering the attacking palm one by one. Then he roared:
"What does it mean that we're still standing here fighting him?"

Zheng Zha roared back: "What does that mean?"

"This means his clone can't directly control us. He's only at the Spiritual Realm level. What's there to be afraid of? Just fight!"
