Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 363 Explosion
An indescribable aura erupted in front of Zheng Zha, his gaze fixed on his clone... He never expected that his method, which had its limits locked, would be enhanced through this means.

Is this just good luck...? Just like the protagonist in a novel, everything he lacks comes to him, and things will work themselves out in the end.

But an incomplete body-refining technique is enough for him to gain a foothold at the fourth level. Can it really take him to a higher level? Is the clone Zheng Zha confident that he can complete the technique, or does he have even stronger methods?

Zheng Zha pondered silently, then with a wave of his hand, a streak of fire appeared dozens of meters away. Along his path, surging crimson flames sealed everything off, scorching and distorting the very space around him.

At that moment, the sound of wind and thunder erupted, piercing through the long river of crimson flames.

“If we use it at its full power, it will be too overwhelming… This is a simplified version that I developed based on my own experience in generating power.” The clone Zheng Zha’s deep voice came through. “I hope that we can all be presentable with our future moves.”

The next moment, the crimson river of flames broke in half, annihilating each other without any energy collision, as if a tremendous force had forcibly separated the energy.

There was no collision of energy... but this energy was no longer able to harm the clone Zheng Zha.

Amidst the roar of wind and thunder, a fist appeared before Zheng Zha's eyes.

Without any particularly flashy special effects, the punch itself didn't have a grand display of power; instead, it was hidden within the surrounding wind and thunder.

"Who taught you to play like this..." Zheng Zha muttered, and then unleashed the attack he had been secretly preparing.

Explosive!

The compressed crimson flames flew out from Zheng Zha's hand, their form and aura previously completely concealed within him. This strike was like a cannonball being fired, causing another ripple in the air between Zheng Zha and his clone.

Zheng Zha slapped his other hand onto the compressed air, causing him to lurch backward with the immense recoil from the explosion.

In an instant, the crimson flames grew larger, covering the clone Zheng Zha's fist and body... and then erupted from the inside out.

Zheng Zha can now use these self-created skills without unlocking the third-tier gene lock. However, it's clear that the clone Zheng Zha is no simple character either, so expecting this to harm him is unrealistic.

Amidst the raging crimson flames, the sounds of wind and thunder arose, and in the next moment, all the crimson flames were forcibly shaken away.

The clone of Zheng Zha's body emerged from it, completely unharmed except for some of his clothes being burned.

“Okay, actually, some of my clothes were burned just now,” the clone Zheng Zha said helplessly, “but I was wearing black, so you can’t tell.”

Zheng Zha suddenly wanted to laugh: "Back in junior high... we also liked to wear black, so that even if we played around like crazy, you couldn't tell that it was dirty."

"But it's all for naught, she'll just complain anyway," the clone Zheng Zha muttered. "In the end, I'll have to wash it myself."

Zheng Zha chuckled, and with a thought, the red flames that had been shaken off seemed to be reborn, surging upwards once more.

The clone Zheng Zha flashed to Zheng Zha's side and, once again unassuming, threw a punch.

“I always thought I was fast enough, but I didn’t expect you to be able to react in time,” the clone Zheng Zha said.

Zheng Zha turned his shoulder and was hit by the punch, then flew backward. But from the spot where he was hit, a burst of red flames erupted, along with the red flames raging on the spot, blocking the clone Zheng Zha's attack. "Quick reaction, huh? You got it from taking a beating." Zheng Zha said irritably, "If I hadn't figured out a method, I would have been beaten to death by you bunch of idiots long ago."

The clone Zheng Zha nodded in deep agreement.

He understood this all too well. As a melee expert, when encountering someone who wasn't a melee fighter, he would naturally go up close and beat them up. But this was a paradox for enemies of the same skill level: if you could easily get close to a non-melee fighter, it meant their skill level was far inferior to yours; if they were at your level, they'd be crazy to let you get close.

"After the Wind and Thunder phase, there is the Strong and Good phase. This is the true path of the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons... Bring out even stronger methods. I have already witnessed them." The clone Zheng Zha looked at Zheng Zha in the distance.

“Very well, but this move of mine is self-created and cannot compare to your orthodox techniques.” Zheng Zha smiled, crimson flames swirling around him. In the next moment, his body and the crimson flames became one, “Crimson Lotus Transformation!”

The clone Zheng Zha roared, tearing through the layers of red flames that appeared in space. Even Zheng Zha's red flames were swept back before his raised fist, as if they had lost their connection with Zheng Zha in the face of this power.

However, after Zheng Zha entered the state of Red Lotus Transformation, these red flames, which were either rolled up or swept away, became more active. When the clone Zheng Zha rushed in front of him, the red flames he had rolled up were already compressed to the extreme.

The clone Zheng Zha sensed the repulsive force of the red flames. It was likely that in just an instant, they would erupt and blast him away... The original Zheng Zha was definitely not weak either, and could easily do that!
With a thought, a new power is mobilized... This power does not erupt from the body, nor does it follow the logic of energy flow; it arrives later than the red flames that are about to erupt.

A blinding, blazing white light shone on the fist of the clone Zheng Zha, colliding with the burst of red flames in this episode.

Amidst the deafening roar of colliding energy, the dark red flames and the blazing white light annihilated each other. The violent explosion caused Zheng Zha's fiery body to tremble, while the clone of Zheng Zha withstood the blast, taking several steps back and carving two deep furrows in the ground.

"Damn it, I knew it." The clone Zheng Zha's shirt was completely torn, and he gave a bitter laugh.

Zheng Zha rolled his eyes: "Then why do you still play like this?"

“You can see it now, this is the power of the Blazing Heart… It covers my heart and provides me with power from the mind.” The clone Zheng Zha waved his hand. “The power of the mind is much faster than mobilizing energy, especially my mobilization speed… If you want to enhance the power of your fist and call upon energy to counteract it, the Blazing Heart is the best choice.”

Zheng Zha pondered for a moment: "Indeed... Is this considered a type of holy light?"

"Holy Light?" The clone Zheng Zha scratched his head. "It's somewhat similar, isn't it? Chu Xuan said it was some kind of manifestation of righteous thoughts or something. You don't know how scared I was when Chu Xuan talked about love and justice."

"Is it really that scary?" Zheng Zha asked doubtfully.

“Really,” the clone Zheng Zha said seriously. “However, my development of the Blazing Heart is far less than my familiarity with the bloodline of the vampires and the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons. Its greatest function at present is to provide energy that is the opposite of the energy of the vampires.”

Zheng Zha was stunned for a moment: "Just like the big explosion just now?"

“That’s right! You even got the name right!” The clone Zheng Zha nodded repeatedly. “Then next, I will use my equal strength to learn from your Crimson Lotus Transformation.”

The crimson line originating from the center of his forehead began to flow again at this moment. The crimson light covering the upper body of the clone Zheng Zha all converged in one direction, towards his heart, which was shining with a blazing white light... This light pierced through his chest from the inside out, making Zheng Zha feel blinded.

The clone Zheng Zha's eyes changed again; he had moved from the second-tier gene lock to the third tier.

"This is my self-created skill... Explosion!"
