Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 393 A Clash at a Higher Level

As the Blazing Heart was suppressed, the clone Zheng Zha's heart sank. He hadn't fully understood this gift yet; perhaps Chu Xuan had figured it out, but as before, he hadn't told him…

But he knew that the energy generated by the Blazing Heart's inspiration of positive thoughts... had a very wide range of levels. Even the most sparse vampire energy could merge and collide with the Blazing Light, without the situation where low-level negative energy was directly devoured by high-level positive energy.

This was the lower limit in the eyes of the clone Zheng Zha, but he had not yet witnessed the upper limit. With his fourth-order level, he could already condense the energy of the vampire to near its limit, surpassing the energy level corresponding to his current bloodline... but the Heart of Blazing Light still dealt with it with ease.

The clone Zheng Zha vaguely sensed that condensing the vampire energy to its limit was not the end... This sounded contradictory, but it was the truth, because it was only the limit of vampire energy, not the limit of energy compression!

He suspected that there were even higher levels of negative energy beyond the vampire energy... and the Heart of Blazing Light seemed capable of handling it!

“I can’t condense the vampire energy beyond that limit yet, and I may need Chu Xuan’s help… Therefore, there is only one way to further increase the output level of the Blazing Heart.”

The clone Zheng Zha thought to himself as his body was still being bombarded and forced backward. Each blow that landed on him with golden light brought a piercing pain, and then this subtle power was guided and dispersed by his equally subtle instincts... After being dispersed, the Blazing Heart and the Blood Clan bloodline could better repair his body.

For others, the intense pain of being suppressed might affect their will, but for him, it wasn't that bad... because he had already experienced all kinds of pain, both internal and external, on this path!

"Come forth, demon within me... let the blazing light shine even brighter!"

The clone Zheng Zha's eyes turned blood red, and his heart began to radiate light with even greater intensity. The blazing light that had been suppressed by Mu Xiang was even showing signs of rising again.

Mu Xiang kicked the clone Zheng Zha in the chest with a brutal kick, causing the blazing light from Zheng Zha's chest to splatter out, and sending him flying backward. But as he retreated, a wild and untamed aura began to emanate from him.

Using the momentum to pull himself back, Mu Xiang released the candle and looked at the clone Zheng Zha, who was slowly straightening up in the distance. He couldn't help but sneer, "You're no longer the weakest fourth-tier beginner... You're starting to go from berserk to demonic."

As he said this, Mu Xiang felt a slight sense of emotion... Although this clone of Zheng Zha, like the original Zheng Zha, experienced a period of transition when he first entered the third and fourth tiers due to a lack of effective methods, this clone of Zheng Zha was already much stronger than the original Zheng Zha in "The Lord of the Rings" at this point.

The journey from the initial stage of the fourth tier to the intermediate stage is quite troublesome... Adapting to the rage, overcoming the rage, facing the inner demons, and getting through the inner demons—in this process, the initial stage fourth tier expert is hampered at every turn and has to bear it all on their own.

Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha can rely on Zhang Jie to train their adaptability, which is much better than Zheng Zha in the original story... But this guy in front of us actually has a built-in soul purification organ?
Grass!
At this moment, the level of Blazing Light officially reached the intermediate level of the fourth tier.

"Roar!"

The clone Zheng Zha roared, his eyes bloodshot, and suddenly vanished from the spot. Mu Xiang cursed inwardly, "Using Wind and Thunder Charge right off the bat, having genetically enhanced bodies really makes a difference..." He thrust out both palms, and with a muffled thud, blocked the clone Zheng Zha's fists.

This time, the clone Zheng Zha wasn't blasted away; instead, he staggered back several steps. In his berserk state, he had abandoned all useless microscopic techniques, each stomp creating a massive crater in the ground.

Mu Xiang floated backward, testing the other party's power and discovering some interesting things... The clone Zheng Zha's power had been significantly enhanced. On one hand, the fourth-order gene lock had modified his body to be more suitable for using destruction, with both physical strength and self-healing ability being greatly improved; on the other hand, the strength of the two energies mixing together had also increased.

[By harnessing the rampaging mind, the righteous thoughts used to suppress rage and inner demons are transformed into even stronger positive energy... and the vampire energy can then continue to condense without restraint.]

“But how long can you hold out…” Mu Xiang smiled, and with a flash, he dodged another Wind and Thunder Strike, then reached out and grabbed the shoulder of the clone Zheng Zha.

The immense resistance caused Mu Xiang's expression to turn serious. He roared and flung the clone Zheng Zha away. The body pierced through several tall buildings, creating a deafening roar along the way. This high-intensity energy conflict created a distorted force field around the clone Zheng Zha, somewhat similar to Mu Xiang's usual habits.

When the clone Zheng Zha landed, the surging power and energy field shattered the ground, and when he actually crashed into it, a huge crater appeared.

"Now, you've actually lost the instinct to improve the efficiency of energy conflict..." Mu Xiang smiled faintly, not giving chase, because he knew that the clone Zheng Zha would return soon, and it was better to wait for the opportune moment than to be in the same hurry.

The next moment, the wind and thunder roared, and a phantom with a tiger's head and a human body became more and more solid. Below the phantom was the clone Zheng Zha, who roared and charged forward again!

Qiang Liangxiang was pushed to near-perfection by the clone Zheng Zha; his body began to swell violently, his muscles bulging—a genetic modification far more terrifying than second-tier physical enhancement. Streams of crimson lines flowed across his naked body, seemingly chaotic at first glance, but in reality, they intertwined, ultimately converging at his heart.

Mu Xiang punched and palmed at the clone Zheng Zha's fists. The opponent was bombarding him with both fists, but Mu Xiang was not to be outdone. Although he did not use the Candle-Holding Technique, the impacts were still loud.

In the midst of this fierce battle, the dust and stones kicked up on the ground turned back into blood, and the two returned to their previous fighting position. Although the clone Zheng Zha's series of attacks had failed, Mu Xiang sensed an even stronger power gathering behind him.

Finally, a phantom fist shadow mixed with wind and thunder rose behind the clone Zheng Zha, even shattering and merging into the phantom of Qiang Liangxiang, and this fist smashed angrily towards Mu Xiang.

Mu Xiang reached out and summoned the Branch of Destruction he had left behind. He showed no mercy, forcefully channeling intense golden light into the transparent blade. This did not unleash the Branch of Destruction's full power, but it allowed Mu Xiang to take the punch without hesitation.

With a deafening roar, the golden, shimmering Branch of Destruction swung out a circle of light and crashed head-on into the giant fist!
