Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 446 Samadhi Yin-Yang Sword

Zhang Jie took a deep breath. Take the half-finished mask that the Central Continent team snatched from the Polar Day Meeting, for example. That thing couldn't be made by a mere fourth-tier cultivator. The biggest characteristic of a fourth-tier cultivator is clearly their ability to develop themselves.

"I need to talk to Mu Xiang about this later..." Zhang Jie knew this was unusual, after all, he had heard Mu Xiang talk about it before and knew that things like rules should only be accessible to those at the fifth level.

The fact that rules appear in a fourth-order being... is already somewhat illogical. If this were a novel, one could easily say something like "a one-in-a-million exception" or "a miracle out of the impossible," but the problem is that every Great Old One seems to have some kind of connection to this, popping up one after another like they're being mass-produced. Who wouldn't be suspicious?

Although quite puzzled, Zhang Jie had been warned by Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha before arriving in the Dream Realm... These Old Ones didn't rely on any extraordinary systems; their strength ultimately came from their unpredictability. If one could remain unaffected and possess a method to kill them, no matter how much hype they received, they would simply be killed outright. Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha were able to directly engage them at the third tier, which essentially meant they met these two conditions.

“Direct creation is indeed bizarre, but your method is useless against us. We can only obediently take the beating.” Zhang Jie sneered, and seeing Munoqua roaring and trying to move away, he immediately attacked.

The Ghitch, extending for thousands of meters, pierced through Munoqua's body with a blade of light combining mental and telekinetic power, pinning its upper body down.

Although this creature is not fast, its large size means that it only needs to move slightly to prevent Zheng Zha's heavy blow from hitting the optimal position... and all Zhang Jie has to do is to delay it for a moment.

The spiritual energy emanating from the blade's edge vanished almost instantly, absorbed directly by Munoqua's body. But immediately, Munoqua's body began to writhe wildly, its distorted and chaotic internal energy surging out and merging into the black lake. A raging torrent of white waves erupted once more from the bottom of the black lake, quickly rising to the surface.

Zheng Zha's sword struck Munoqua, tearing a gaping wound through most of its body and causing more of its distorted internal energy to surge out. At that moment, Zheng Zha saw clearly… what was being expelled from Munoqua's body, mixing with the purified lake water, had stained the water, which had existed for countless years, black!

He thought urgently, "The blackness of this Black Lake is the pollution within this thing... It originated from its body, so it can transform into other forms at any time! These transformations are somewhat different from those of other creatures!"

Zhang Jie nodded, then with a thought, he twisted the Ghitch, which was pinning Munoqua, and tried to tear Munoqua apart completely along the wound Zheng Zha had cleaved. What had caused the explosion inside Munoqua's body earlier was the telekinetic power emanating from the Ghitch.

Telekinesis and mental power share the same origin but are different. After Munoqua instinctively absorbed it, it played right into Zhang Jie's hands, causing him to experience an internal burst of power.

However, after the sword strike and the slash, Munoqua's body began to heal. Although its aura had weakened considerably, it was a genuine healing process!
"This is... connected to the moon?" Zhang Jie couldn't help but curse after scanning. Who would seal this thing on the moon? Isn't that just giving it an environment?
Zheng Zha was taken aback upon hearing this, but continued to slash with his sword with both hands, while taking out a sea-blue gem with one hand. He quickly cursed, "Nodens is unreliable too; this gem can't even communicate?"

As they spoke, the Branch of Annihilation, enveloped in a pillar of dark red fire, cleaved off most of Munok's head. The scorching flames pushed aside the lake water, incinerating the blackness, and then annihilated most of the head!
After this sword strike, Munoqua's remaining head also separated directly from its body. Zheng Zha couldn't help but think of a morbidly humorous experiment: "Will it grow a new head or a new body?"

The next moment, the flame between his brows ignited, and the Three Righteous Gods channeled their primordial fire. A roaring Samadhi True Fire erupted from Zheng Zha's mouth, slamming into Munoqua's neck cavity and then advancing forward, obliterating everything in its path. The remaining head was also completely annihilated by Kuiqi. Before being shattered, the ugly membrane in Munoqua's half-sunken eye socket twitched, and a jet-black, sharp beam shot towards Zhang Jie. Layers upon layers of psychic power blocked Zhang Jie, annihilating the beam.

Under the combined attack, despite its large size, Munoqua was destined to be completely annihilated. In Zhang Jie's mental vision, the moon was constantly collapsing, a result of its connection to Munoqua.

Zheng Zha unleashed another sword strike, evaporating most of the remaining Black Lake and erasing its blackness. However, he did not revert to battle mode. Instead, he focused on regulating his breathing while simultaneously monitoring the mental images in his mind, just like Zhang Jie.

In fact, once associated with an environment, the physical body is no longer the true entity... rather, the entity has merged into the environment, and the so-called physical body is merely an appearance. This was true of Bokrug before, and it is true of Munoqua now.

Even though Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie didn't know the specifics, they could roughly guess that the Black Lake was able to breed lizards because of the Munoqua's internal substance infiltration; and the various protrusions on the moon that gave rise to lizards were the result of its association with the moon. If the moon were to fall into the Dream Realm, aside from the sheer magnitude of the fall itself, it would be an extremely terrifying disaster. These lizards, and even the moon itself, would become ferocious invaders!
What they didn't know was that this Munokia wasn't sealed on the moon by a more powerful Old God, as some novels depict… It was implanted beneath the dreamlike moon by the Abyss using the colors of fantasy. Although the imaginations of others weren't detailed, the inherent characteristics of this Old One allowed it to slowly merge with the moon, turning it into its own egg, gradually becoming stronger and more complete.

As the two had predicted, soon on the lunar surface, a newborn lizard let out a shriek and began to devour its kin in a frenzy. As it thrashed about, the earth and rocks below merged into its body, and a few breaths later, an enormous lizard appeared on the moon… it was the newborn Munoqua!
Zhang Jie frowned, but Zheng Zha remained calm and laughed instead. He pushed up his nose and said, "Sure enough, its rebirth has many limitations... Otherwise, why can it only choose one body, and why must it condense into one? If it wants the moon to fall, it only needs to go with the flow and not condense into one, and play dead!"

The next moment, Zheng Zha arrived above the Black Lake. The dark red sky above them shattered and merged into the Branch of Annihilation, creating an even more exaggerated pillar of fire on the giant sword. Without the obstruction of the crimson sky, some of the lizards falling down were no longer hindered. But when they landed beside Zheng Zha, before Zhang Jie could even make a move, they were reduced to ashes by the terrifying heat.

Zheng Zha opened his mouth and spewed out another stream of Samadhi True Fire, this time targeting the Branch of Annihilation. Although both appeared as crimson flames, Zheng Zha knew the extraordinary nature of this Samadhi True Fire. The Samadhi True Fire met the original flames of the Branch of Annihilation, but instead of merging directly, they coexisted and intertwined.

Both were blood-red, but one was bright and the other dim... Zhang Jie wouldn't have been able to tell the difference without comparison. He asked with some surprise, "Your Samadhi True Fire seems to have a different energy attribute than that of the vampires?"

Zheng Zha smiled. His face had turned a little pale from using this technique repeatedly, but his smile was full of pride: "That's right, Samadhi True Fire is Yang... Although it conflicts with the energy of the vampires and the levels are different, it's easy to deal with. We just need to control the level of the vampire energy."

"This is... something I learned from my clone!"

The next moment, crimson flames erupted from the moon's surface, like an enormous, strangely long sword standing tall against the sky. Terrifyingly high temperatures, capable of distorting space, surged from beneath the earth and then plunged into the black night sky above the moon. This magnificent sword annihilated earth, rock, and flesh along with the flames, then pointed at the immeasurably large lizard and cleaved down upon it!
The giant sword, though seemingly slow, completely enveloped Munoqua's body within its attack range. Even this enormous body appeared incredibly small before this sword. The immense pressure descended, and before it even touched Munoqua's body, the ground beneath it began to crack violently. Before the giant sword struck, a chasm tens of thousands of meters long had already appeared on the lunar surface, a truly gruesome sight.

"Samadhi... Yin Yang Sword!"
