I, the Lord of the Fifth Throne, am the source of all things!

A massive shadow materialized around the rifle in Tokisaki Kurumi's hand, and she aimed the muzzle at Nantian.

Terrified that his condition was frozen at a fatal wound, Nan Tian shook his phoenix wings and transformed into a fiery meteor, disappearing into the sky and vanishing from Tokisaki Kurumi's sight.

He was scared, so he ran away.

Because his immortality had been countered and broken, there was no longer anything that could give him peace of mind.

However, Kurumi Tokisaki remained calm, her golden clock-like eye beginning to observe the future timeline.

boom--!

A bullet was fired from the rifle, traveling directly through the time tunnel to the future, appearing on the road that Nantian was bound to pass through, and hitting him.

It looked as if he had run headfirst into the bullet.

"Uh—"

After being hit by this special bullet, Nan Tian's eyes widened, and his gaze immediately became dull, empty, and lifeless.

Then, as if he had lost consciousness, his wings stopped flapping, and he fell directly from the sky to the ground.

At this moment, Nantian, deep in the pit, stared with lifeless, empty eyes, looking like a walking corpse.

Although still alive, there was no sign of life.

Splash splash ...

The shadow beneath Nan Tian spread out, and pale arms reached out from the shadows, grabbing Nan Tian like demons and dragging him into the shadows.

The effect of the tenth bullet is to convey the past memories of the target.

Hitting an enemy allows you to view their past memories.

It can also transmit the retrieved memories to the target that was hit.

The Time Dragon, Ren, helped Tokisaki Kurumi develop this move, allowing her to absorb a large amount of junk information and memories, condensing them into bullets that would cause the targets hit to suffer from dementia and brain overload.

The bullet that just hit Nantian contained two million years' worth of junk information memories.

This massive amount of memory information exploded in the other person's head in an instant, causing their brain to crash and overload, and their consciousness to be submerged in the massive amount of memory information.

............

The battlefield on the other side.

Meng Du, who was originally a poison gas bomb, has been taken into Liu Zi's purple gourd.

It is currently struggling frantically to survive inside the gourd.

Originally, the interior of the purple gourd was extremely hot and contained no air at all.

However, Duanmu Lian felt that burning the enemy was not fast enough, so after refining the purple gourd into a magic weapon, she incorporated her Ten Yang Sacred Fire into the gourd.

Within seconds, the gourd that had been trembling in Liu Zi's hand went completely still.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, the siblings Binglan and Xinglan were locked in a fierce battle. As the older brother, Xinglan was naturally unwilling to kill his sister, so he could only keep fighting her and trying to wake her up.

As for Charlotte Linlin and Saeko Busujima.

The previous attack had already severely injured Saeko Busujima, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Ryuu, who had entered the imaginary time movement, made her move.

puff---!

The scythe flashed with a chilling light, and the severely wounded Saeko Busujima's head was separated from her neck, her consciousness plunging into complete darkness.

"...Saeko?"

Charlotte Linlin, who had attacked Saeko Busujima earlier, was stunned when she saw that Saeko Busujima's body had been dismembered.

Because of the Separation Curse, her previous kindness towards Saeko Busujima turned into malice, and friendship turned into hatred.

Now that the other person is dead, the malice and hatred in her heart have vanished like a rootless duckweed, and the Separation Curse has automatically dissipated because there is no longer an object of hatred.

Charlotte Linlin, realizing what she had done, suddenly turned dark and twisted in anger.

"Click click click..."

Her teeth clenched so hard they made a grating sound, and her eyes overflowed with tangible rage and killing intent. Her Conqueror's Haki, which could change the color of the heavens and earth, seemed to have gone out of control, sweeping out like a tsunami.

Charlotte Linlin found it hard to accept that she had just attacked and killed her companion.

She suppressed her anger and glanced at Binglan and Xinglan, who were fighting each other, and immediately realized that she had just been ambushed.

"You, you..."

Charlotte Linlin's eyes turned bloodshot, and her materialized Conqueror's Haki swept over the calm and composed Liu Zi.

But suddenly, Duanmu Lian appeared in front of Liu Zi, holding a magic book in her hands.

"Slideshow Barrier!"

Then, after he opened the grimoire in his hand, an enormous magic circle enveloped Charlotte Linlin and Chen Wu.

*Snap!* — *Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack!*

Before the two could react, the sound of shattering glass spread through the space, and the world before them underwent a dramatic change.

Everything in this world was crimson. The exposed cosmos was crimson, the sun in the sky had turned into a pitch-black moon, and the surrounding sky had become very dark, with the color of scarlet everywhere.

"...This is another dimension!?"

Chen Wu's eyes narrowed as he was pulled into this crimson world, because he sensed the intense malice emanating from this place.

After being pulled into this space, Charlotte Linlin also disappeared.

"Just think of this as another dimension."

Duanmu Lian chuckled and raised her hand, instantly storing the magic book in her spatial ring.

This technique is called the Illusionary Light Barrier.

It is a variable barrier that can interfere with space, separate itself from the real world, completely isolate itself from the real world, and also erode and merge with the real world. It is also a kind of spatial phase barrier, and even the passage of time will be affected.

This spatial barrier is particularly effective against mages, as being inside it will nullify the enemy's abilities.

To be precise, it includes two points: inability to use abilities; and the ability to instantly cancel abilities and all effects produced by all spells.

Moreover, this space can control a person's five senses, causing them to become deeply trapped in illusions from which they cannot extricate themselves.

It is not only a powerful illusion that controls the five senses, but also reads the memories of the target, making them see illusions in the most painful way, tormenting their mind, beliefs, memories, etc.

It can also extract deep-seated traumas or insurmountable past memories and present them to the target to stifle their spirit. This is the true way to use the Slide Barrier.

When one is affected by the power of the illusionary barrier and experiences a hallucination, the space one is in is neither reality nor the underworld, but a world of realms.

Now, Charlotte Linlin is in another place, suffering the torment and torture brought by this magic lantern barrier, unable to extricate herself.

Chen Wu is a martial artist who cultivates killing intent fluctuations. The killing intent contained in his spirit allows him to resist the negative effects of this alternate dimension.

“You are the strongest among that group of reincarnation apostles. It’s rare to encounter a martial arts expert like you. I would like to savor this opportunity alone.”

Looking at Chen Wu in front of her, a spark of fighting spirit rose in Duanmu Lian's usually calm eyes.

According to the information obtained by Tokisaki Kurumi, among the nine people, if we were to talk about who has no flaws, it would be Chen Wu in front of us.

Aside from exchanging for Toguro's Muscle Control Enhancement during the beginner phase, the other party didn't exchange for any other powers.

Everyone else relied on the power they exchanged to work together, combine, and integrate.

Only Saeko Busujima and Chen Wu, after choosing a system, devoted themselves to studying and cultivating it.

However, compared to Saeko Busujima, Chen Wu in front of him was like a bottle of fine wine that had been aged for a long time.

Duanmu Lian could clearly feel that pure power, forged through painstaking effort and countless trials.

"It seems you've created this alternate dimension just to fight me one-on-one," the burly Chen Wu chuckled, understanding the meaning in Duanmu Lian's eyes. "Then I'm truly honored."

Facing the battle intent emanating from Duanmu Lian's direction, something ferocious within him awakened.

A fierce and profound killing intent appeared in his dark eyes.

This terrifying and violent killing intent transformed into tangible waves that rippled outwards.

Sensing this astonishing killing intent, Duanmu Lian's [Inner Realm] [Demon Self] was triggered, and a killing intent full of madness and demonic nature flashed in his eyes.

However, Duanmu Lian did not choose to drive this demonic power, but instead chose the divine power that she was most skilled at and suited to.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!!

Magnetic fields and electric light burst forth in all directions, and an aura of unwavering, indestructible, and timeless tranquility emanated from Duanmu Lian.

If Chen Wu's killing intent was like a tsunami crashing down, then Duanmu Lian's egolessness, unaffected by any external force, was a deep black hole.

The intent to kill is at its extreme.

The absence of self is the ultimate stillness.

Two completely different forces and mental states collided, like two tornadoes spinning in opposite directions colliding.

When this atmosphere and aura reached their peak, causing the entire world to radiate blood-red killing intent and lightning, and a deep, black-hole-like attraction, the two made their move.

boom!

Intense and scorching flames erupted from Chen Wu's feet, engulfing his entire body.

Killing Intent Wave - Blazing Flame Step!

Combining the power of killing intent with this awakened power instantly elevated Chen Wu's aura and killing intent to an unimaginable level.

Asura Purgatory Kick!

The earth was shattered by Chen Wu's kick. Amidst the strange and earth-shattering roar, he, whose entire body was wreathed in flames of killing intent, kicked through the spatial distance between Duanmu Lian and suddenly appeared in front of her.

The kick, a perfect combination of Asura's Flash of Space technique, was fierce, powerful, and fast!

If someone were to be hit by this kick, the person and the space around them would be shattered, making it extremely lethal.

"Magnetic field rotation, 550,000 horsepower of power - White Luo Extinguishes Essence!!!"

Faced with this fierce and powerful attack, Duanmu Lian, with her calm and collected expression, neither dodged nor avoided, but instead raised her hand to directly press down on the opponent's kicking foot.

A dense, unyielding darkness spread from his hand, forming a domain space filled with dark energy. A gigantic vortex also appeared in Duanmu Lian's hand, spinning rapidly clockwise.

This is a repulsive black hole created using dark-attribute supernatural powers and Duanmu Lian's fragmentary understanding of black hole power.

The palm that he used to strike Chen Wu with the Asura Purgatory Kick emitted a twisted and chaotic repulsive force.
