Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 445 Dreamlike Mad Moon
Zheng Zha was unaware that his ability to use the Samadhi True Fire was actually due to an advantage... because the crimson flame had long been connected to his spirit, allowing him to condense the Three True Gods through the absorption of the Asura race's essence blood and the guidance of the crimson flame. The three True Gods' spirit body, soul body, and spirit form are known in orthodox cultivation as the soul, primordial spirit, and true spirit, respectively, their profound mysteries relating to the Great Dao.

When these three are interconnected, if the primordial energy is used to guide or transform into flames, it becomes the Samadhi True Fire... Zheng Zha obtained the manifestation method of the three righteous gods from the Asura Battle Body, and his use of his own blood clan energy relied on the red flames. He unintentionally completed two steps and then used the Samadhi True Fire.

Zheng Zha first used the Samadhi True Fire during a rehearsal before Resident Evil 2... At that time, he was about to activate his Asura Battle Body when Mu Xiang launched a preemptive attack. In his haste, he could only unleash his Red Flame to block. He thought he was going to be smashed to pieces by Mu Xiang's punch, but to his surprise, Mu Xiang dodged it as well.

The power of the Samadhi True Fire far exceeded Zheng Zha's expectations. Before he asked Mu Xiang to name it, he naturally learned the name of this move... Samadhi True Fire! It was as if this move should have been called by this name, and this name had long been imprinted in his mind.

After being struck by a burst of Samadhi Fire, Munoqua's body was ripped open. Although it healed quickly within the Black Lake, the excruciating pain that penetrated its very being prevented it from stopping. This Samadhi Fire was extremely destructive to the body, energy, and spirit; even a powerful mid-level fourth-tier Ancient Ruler could not escape its effects.

Seeing that his attack had succeeded, Zheng Zha prepared to charge forward, enveloped in crimson flames. The Branch of Destruction flew out of his ring, instantly turning a near-black dark red. He knew that Munoqua must be severely injured, and now was the best time to press his advantage... Come to think of it, this was the first time he had used this move in battle. After all, in Resident Evil 2, he first played Mu Xiang, and then went berserk and out of control; he certainly didn't have time to use this technique.

"I didn't expect this move to be so lethal to even mid-level fourth-tier beings. Being able to mobilize this power without going berserk is better than that Black Flame Blood..." Zheng Zha thought to himself. What he didn't know was that this move would be even more lethal to beings who had achieved spiritual and physical unity. As for those below the fourth tier... taking this move would basically mean certain death, so how could it possibly damage their spirit?
To experience the pain of being mentally wounded, you first have to physically endure it for even a second, right? If you're instantly killed, how can there be any mental damage?

Just then, a violent tremor startled Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie. This tremor wasn't an attack specifically targeting them; their instincts as fourth-tier beings made it easy to resist. Red Flame and psychic powers dispersed, absorbing the impact on the two, and then they exchanged a glance.

Although the shockwave itself wasn't an attack specifically targeting them... if they didn't have fourth-tier strength, they would probably be half-dead, if not killed!
Zhang Jie unleashed his mental energy, then his expression changed: "Wait... the moon is moving again!"

"Huh? Is it because we severely damaged Munoqua that the moon's anomalies have returned to normal?" Zheng Zha asked in confusion.

Zhang Jie shook his head and shared the scanned mental image with Zheng Zha: "No... it's still abnormal."

"The moon... is falling towards the dream world."

Zheng Zha took a deep breath, pushed up his nose, and said decisively, "Kill Munoqua first. We can't do anything about it. Let's wait for Mu Xiang or Nordens... Let's finish our own business first!"

Zhang Jie nodded, and his Zanpakuto was unleashed once more. His psychic power surged forth without regard for the cost, and the blade's aura continued to grow from hundreds of meters long to hundreds of meters, thousands of meters long, plunging straight into the depths of the Black Lake!
Kuiqi, shattering flesh and tearing apart spirit, was like an iron waterfall hanging upside down from the sky, clearing the black lake water wherever it passed. Under the attack of fourth-order mental power and telekinesis, a clear opening was also made in the anomaly in the black lake, and the clear and murky lake waters were clearly separated.

Just as Zheng Zha was about to rush into the lake through the passage Zhang Jie had opened, they heard a slight friction and wriggling sound above their heads. Zheng Zha looked up and saw one protrusion after another emerging from the cave wall above.

"It's all over there too..." Zhang Jie scanned the moon's surface with his mental energy, taking in the entire scene. Countless protrusions appeared on the moon, from the land to the lunar maria, from the maria to the subsurface—these things could appear anywhere. In Zhang Jie's mental scan, there was nothing there, nothing but soil or water of the same composition!

It's as if these things evolved naturally... If it were on a geography exam, a bunch of students would probably have to rack their brains to explain the causes.

Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie, however, knew that this might be some kind of omen... Previously, in the Black Lake, Munoqua's creations had also appeared out of thin air. This might be meant to deal with them, or it might be meant to deal with the Dream Realm. After all, in the violent tremor that the moon had previously activated, none of the moon beasts on the moon survived, so it was impossible to rely on them as basic combat power.

"Rise!" Zheng Zha shouted, and three heads and six arms appeared. Then, he lifted his six arms towards the sky, and scorching red flames surged upwards, like a dark red curtain above their heads, preventing them from being disturbed by other factors. The next moment, with the Branch of Destruction in hand, Zheng Zha unleashed the red flames and charged towards the bottom of the Black Lake.

The two, one at a distance and the other at close range, were about to strangle Munoqua. Clearly, even if Munoqua could absorb mental energy, he was no match for the two of them working together… in fact, this combined effort was already an extremely cautious one.

Munoqua sensed an immense threat, and its tentacles shot out like giant pythons emerging from their caves, hurtling towards Zheng Zha. Some even burst forth from the Black Lake, ready to engulf Zhang Jie.

"Die!" Zheng Zha roared, swinging his sword with both arms and conjuring fire in his four hands. Four dark red fireballs ignored the lake water and directly sealed off the space for Munoqua's head to move. Meanwhile, the Branch of Annihilation, wrapped in terrifying red flames, slashed down at Munoqua's head.

The giant sword was negligible in front of Munokwa's head, but as the blade struck, the red flames became increasingly intense and surging. Wherever it passed, the blackness faded, the lake water disappeared, and a blood-red trail was left behind. Just as it was about to strike Munokwa's head, the pillar of fire on the giant sword had already burst out of the black lake and touched the fiery sky.

For a moment, it was unclear whether it was a red lotus emerging from the water or a waterfall descending from the sky... and under this merciless sword strike, Munoqua could only roar and howl!
A familiar wave separated from the roar, quite similar to the one emitted by Berkrug, but seemingly stronger and wider. This was interference that transcended the limitations of energy, making it impossible for Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie to make a close comparison.

Zheng Zha felt something move inside his body, but he immediately suppressed it. As the ripples receded, countless lizards crawled out from the protrusions covering the moon.

"So, those were just eggs after all..." Zhang Jie murmured.

It seems that the Great Old Ones are indeed related to some kind of rule. At least as far as Zhang Jie knows, the fourth rank cannot create life... Although it is debatable whether these monsters are life in the general sense, it is definitely not something that the fourth rank can accomplish.

At this moment, Munoqua turned the moon into a giant breeding ground!
