Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

"That year, I stood here, full of vigor, with the world's most outstanding scholars sitting below, my research projected on the Black Lake."

He grew increasingly excited, as if he were back on that day.

No... it really was that day, because Li Xia suddenly realized that this huge stepped plaza seemed to be flowing backwards in time; the stone steps were still ancient, yet spotless.

Countless figures dressed in white robes and wearing floral crowns slowly emerged on the steps, solemnly clapping their hands in appreciation of the storyteller on stage.

"I have recalled that day countless times. I wish that day had never happened, but I am also reluctant to give up the honors that followed that day."

Yuanxu No. 2 raised his arms high, just as he had done that day to thank the people below the stage.

He turned to look at Li Xia, his eyes surprisingly calm, his face bearing an almost martyr-like devotion.

"That idiot only thinks about piecing the pieces together, as if he thinks that as long as the pieces are put together, the world can be restored to its original state."

But he forgot that no matter how well he pieced it together, the cracks would always remain, and it would still crumble, plunging the world into fear once more.

The rules will only become more fragmented, heterogeneous entities will only become stronger, and humanity will ultimately face complete extinction.

Li Xia looked at the white-robed sages standing around him, and then at Yuanxu No. 2 in front of him.

He remained silent, quietly watching the performance of this phantom, or rather, this obsession.

"Only by allowing a complete will to bear all the rules and become the anchor of the world can the order be rewritten!"

I will be this container, I will bear all the pollution and suffering, in exchange for a complete world without disasters!

In this fusion, I will become a new god, protecting this world!

Yuanxu No. 2 reached out his hand towards the black lake in front of him.

A gentle ripple suddenly appeared in the center of the once calm Black Lake.

Then more and more ripples spread outwards in concentric circles, growing larger and larger until they finally crashed outwards like waves.

The water in the center was churning and boiling, with white spray splashing in all directions.

The sky darkened instantly, and the dim yellow sky was quickly obscured by the dark clouds sweeping in from all around.

The world, which had been faintly lit, was completely darkened, with the only light coming from the wildly surging lightning in the clouds.

At this moment, the enormous black lake has completely transformed into a boiling cauldron.

It was as if a colossal creature was rising from the bottom of the water, right under Li Xia's gaze.

A chaotic black mass slowly rose from the bottom of the lake, looking unusually strange.

It has no fixed form, no life, and wherever it goes, space distorts, and the surrounding lake water even undergoes strange deformations.

The splashing water turned into stones, the stones into quicksand, and the quicksand instantly gleamed with a metallic luster.

Some simply vanished, as if erased from the world; this black aggregate was like a black hole.

It seemed to be able to devour even the light from the lightning bolts falling overhead.

"Just watch... this is my answer to the world!"

The figure of Yuanxu No. 2 disappeared, while the aggregate began to pulsate even faster. Li Xia's gaze sharpened, and he actually saw the face of Yuanxu No. 2 within it.

The face had its eyes closed, its expression one of extreme pain and grotesqueness. Suddenly, the face opened its mouth and let out a shrill scream and a mournful wail.

Visible sound waves spread out instantly, and everything around them began to vibrate under the intense sound waves.

Li Xia's pupils contracted, and his true qi surged and formed a true qi force in front of him. Even so, the white shield was shaking rapidly and exploded.

The illusory armor appeared and disappeared on the body, even emitting a series of crisp echoes.

The surrounding buildings shattered into dust under such high-frequency vibrations.

The terrifying sound waves reverberated for several kilometers, almost leveling the land.

Even the fierce battles raging behind them fell silent as they looked up in this direction.

Several parts of the black aggregate began to bulge, rapidly condensing and finally transforming into a gigantic, ferocious beast.

There was no rationality in his eyes, only madness and a desire for destruction.

As expected...

Li Xia flicked his hand to the side, and the spear spun nimbly a few times, facing the monster that hovered above the black lake, a monster comparable in size to an Ultraman tokusatsu show.

They couldn't even last five seconds before being overwhelmed by the rules...

Only bestiality and this bundle of rules remained, forming this monster.

Suddenly, a bright eye opened on its forehead and stared intently at the black behemoth in front of it.

The rules devour fragments of complex rules, possessing multiple levels of rule manipulation capabilities.

2. [？？？]

3. [？？？]

4. [？？？]

5. [Reconstruct the World] (Ultimate Skill, Forced Display)

Within the Black Beast Realm, it can reconstruct the world.

Each reconstruction requires a certain number of rules to support it.

The reconstructed world is entirely controlled by the Black Beast, and the Black Beast itself will lose the ability to govern these rules unless the world is dissolved.

[Evaluation: At the beginning of the collapse of the rules, it was an anomaly formed by the combination of the desires and emotions of everyone in the vicinity and the rules. It was originally dormant in the Black Lake and is also the most powerful anomaly in this world.]

Through the solidification of the bestial nature of the original order, it evolved into its current form; within this world, it is the world itself.

Is this all we can see?

Li Xia closed the panel in front of him, took a deep breath, and just looked at the black beast. A strong sense of threat that he hadn't felt in a long time flowed through his body like a tide.

The threat of death pierced my back like needles, sending waves of tingling sensations through me.

My body tensed up quickly and then slowly relaxed.

Li Xia held the spear horizontally in front of his chest, his eyes seeming to slowly ignite with flames.

But this is the kind of battle he wanted!

"Roar!"

The black beast let out another mournful roar, its gaze falling on Li Xia in front of it.

He suddenly raised his claws and swung them down fiercely from hundreds of meters away.

Numerous, almost invisible, thin slits flew out from its claws and flew towards Li Xia.

The speed was unbelievable; it was as if it had traversed space and appeared directly in front of him.

Li Xia took a deep breath, and the spear in his hand suddenly flashed. He swayed, and the spear danced around him like a white ribbon.

These gaps are not slashes, but dimensional cracks, dimensional cutting blades formed by using the power of rules to displace space.

The spear struck the dimensional cracks, causing it to tremble violently and emit a series of buzzing sounds.

Even Ye Ji struggled against this dimensional 'blade,' and the true qi covering it was constantly being shaken away.

Each collision caused a large number of white light spots to scatter, enveloping him and dancing with his movements.

When the dimensional blade touched the surrounding ground, cracks appeared silently, these cracks were extremely deep and dark, and it was unknown how far they penetrated.

When the wave of dimensional blades finally passed, Li Xia felt a slight numbness in his hands.

His body seemed to become completely hot, as if all the blood in his body was boiling, and he loosened and clenched his hands.

The tingling sensation caused by the continuous vibrations dissipated; this was only one claw of the black beast.

As expected of... the most evil world; the difficulty really lies in the final black beast...

Li Xia's gaze fell on the ferocious black behemoth in front of him. In a sense, this black beast was indeed born from the fusion of human evil and rules.

It also symbolizes the bestial side of humanity.

"boom!"

The soil beneath his feet exploded, and he transformed into a streak of white light, rushing towards the black beast, while strange smoke swirled around the beast's mouth.

It stood upright, supporting its body with its hind legs, and swung its claws a few more times towards Li Xia's location.

In an instant, countless dimensional blades attacked like a storm.

Li Xia stomped his feet sharply to the side.

"bang bang bang"

A series of muffled thuds exploded from his feet, accompanied by waves of air spreading outwards. His body moved rapidly through the air in a manner that defied common sense.

The pale white light traced a curved path in mid-air like lightning.

When he stopped again, he was already above the black beast, his spear raised high.

With a twist of his body and a burst of power from his waist, he turned half a circle, and his spear, like a startled swan, drew a long trail in the air before slashing down at the black beast's head with a chilling light.

"clang!!"

A visible shockwave exploded from the end of the spear, and the lake water beneath the black beast's feet suddenly sank. Then, a huge wave spread outwards from the black beast.

Li Xia's pupils contracted as he saw Ye Ji's sharp blade being blocked by a solidified barrier that appeared as real as reality.

This is... a mental barrier?

The black beast raised its eyes slightly, and surprisingly, it made a mocking expression.

"Buzz!"

Li Xia felt as if the surrounding space had changed, and he appeared directly in front of the black beast, where countless sharp spikes had sprouted between its claws.

It struck him silently yet with lightning speed.

Li Xia held his spear horizontally in front of him, but he only had time to do that before his claws continued their relentless attack.

The spearhead pierced the black beast's palm without hesitation, but it seemed to feel nothing, or perhaps it simply didn't care.

It still roared in with a terrifying aura. Li Xia curled up and raised his arms to block it from his sides.

A tremendous roar resounded as the black beast's claws slammed together, the backs of its claws pierced by Night Silence.

But that wasn't all. A dark, ominous light gathered between its claws, accompanied by a continuous, chilling cracking sound.

Li Xia's figure suddenly appeared at the edge of Ye Ji's spear. He pushed off with both feet and flew out at high speed.

He didn't stop until he returned to almost the same spot, by which time his body was a complete mess.

The Divine Enemy Armor was unusually riddled with holes, and jagged cracks appeared on its surface, piercing even the body protected by the armor.

Blood was gushing from the bloody, mangled holes, trickling down the seams of the armor.

Behind him, a phantom image of an avatar appeared. These holes were rapidly shrinking, yet some kind of special power seemed to reside in the wounds.

The avatar had just been transferred away when it suddenly cracked open again. This happened several times before it began to heal. The recovery speed of the Divine Enemy Armor was also quite astonishing.

In no time, he looked completely unharmed. Li Xia looked coldly at the black beast, and with a wave of his hand, Ye Ji once again transformed into a ball of lightning and flew back into his hand.
