Chapter 2783 The Dark Torrent
Unless a new existence is introduced, namely life.
All sentient beings are impermanent, and all phenomena are impermanent.
Within this time and space, there could be endless changes. This is why the "evolution" that the Great Square Pot desired most came into being.
Conversely, if Bai Zhantian wants to destroy everything, what he needs to eliminate are the advantages of terrain (space), timing (time), and living beings.
That is, Earth, Heaven, and Man.
Bai Zhantian first used the supernatural powers of Cangxi Zhenjun to deprive his opponent of his five senses, then severed his flesh and blood and destroyed his mind.
This axe strike, seemingly ordinary, actually concealed countless variations, making it even more powerful than the Time-Space Slash. Meanwhile, He Lingchuan, facing him, had lost all five senses, making him his most vulnerable moment.
With the strongest, attack the weakest.
There is no reason why it cannot succeed; it is worthwhile to condense all the merits of a hundred battles into this one axe.
Once the strike lands, all living beings in this space-time will be torn to pieces, flesh and soul, and even the smallest creatures, like mosquitoes, will not escape.
Having failed to achieve his goal with the previous "Time Slash," Bai Zhantian had deeply reflected on his actions. Was his ultimate technique too famous, allowing his opponents to prepare in advance? Panlong, who raised the banner of rebellion against the Heavenly Demons in the mortal realm, had likely conducted in-depth research on each of the Great Heavenly Demons. After seeing him use the Sky-Splitting Slash, Hu Yi probably guessed that his next move would be the Time Slash, and thus prepared a fake target in advance to lure him into expending a large amount of divine power.
This was his own oversight; underestimating his opponent comes at a price.
However, the final strike of the three-hit combo is unpredictable. He can strike at will, and Tiger Wing can never guess what card he will play.
After delivering this strike, a sense of exhaustion arose. The true essence of the "Sentimental Slash" is to deliver a thunderous blow to the prey in silence; its sound is less powerful than the previous two strikes, but its strength is far greater. Correspondingly, the divine power consumed is even greater.
However, after the intense light of Zangxi Zhenjun flashed, all around was pure darkness, and even Baizhantian was somewhat disoriented for a moment.
This is normal; anyone who is flashed by a bright light will immediately experience a moment of darkness.
He only obtained the skin of the Hidden Dawn True Lord when he descended to the mortal realm. Today is the first time he has used the divine version of the Dawn Light Divine Power. This kind of great divine power is particularly energy-consuming and causes a lot of noise. He would not use it to practice for fun, so he is not very skilled at using it.
It doesn't matter. His opponent is ten times more dazzling than him, and has been stripped of his five senses, becoming fish to be slaughtered under his axe.
But here comes the problem:
The darkness did not recede like the tide; he looked around and it was still pitch black! Moreover, it seemed as if countless things were stirring in the darkness, crowding towards him, and he sensed extreme danger.
These things were still pushing him backward with all their might. Bai Zhantian suddenly swung his axe forward twice, and the wind from the axe swept away all of these things.
But new ones quickly stepped in to fill the gap.
The next instant, a deafening roar suddenly rang in his ears!
The howling sound seemed to come from purgatory, and it was men, women, and children who roared with heart-wrenching pain, despair, hatred, and resentment.
He had previously used "Dawn's Appearance" to rob his opponent of his five senses, including hearing; ironically, now his ears were filled with such a violent and noisy shriek that he could hear no other sounds at all.
This is bad. What trap has the opponent set? What kind of situation have I entered?
Throughout his life, Bai Zhantian had experienced countless strange and bizarre events. Even in the face of danger, he remained calm, and the divine power spark floating above his shoulder immediately shone brightly, serving as a source of illumination.
At the same time, he gathered his remaining divine power and prepared for a full-force attack.
Having incorporated the divine powers of the Hidden Dawn True Lord, it could easily illuminate the entire Singing Sand Forest, let alone this small black curtain.
However, it does not.
The light emanating from the divine spark only illuminated about ten feet around him; it couldn't penetrate any further.
The darkness in the distance was like a lurking monster, devouring even the light that shone out.
But the area illuminated by the light was enough for Bai Zhantian to see his predicament:
He was actually in the middle of a raging torrent!
The area was teeming with menacing vengeful spirits, who could manifest their upper bodies, but their lower bodies were nothing but wisps of black smoke. Bai Zhantian was the only outsider here, and the vengeful spirits rushed towards him relentlessly, gnawing at his skin and restricting his movements.
Just now, Bai Zhantian swung his axe and chopped down these very things. However, it was useless. No matter how many times he swung it, even if he could clear away the vengeful spirits in front of him, these things would gather back from all directions endlessly!
Furthermore, their damage to the bodies of true immortals and great gods was almost tangible. Being gnawed at by their sharp teeth, Bai Zhantian actually felt a piercing pain.
"Karma!" he blurted out.
These are not vengeful spirits or wandering ghosts at all, but rather the materialized power of karmic obstacles!
Previously, in his battle with General Tiger Wing, this karma, merely attached to Tiger Wing's weapon, was enough to make even immortals and demons flee in terror. Who would have thought that its sheer magnitude could form a river on its own?
He was now caught in the torrent of karma, for as far as the eye could see, black smoke billowed in without stopping. As it landed on Bai Zhantian, he was propelled by this karmic torrent, having to swing his axe again and again to avoid being swept away.
And most importantly, where is General Tiger Wing?
Bai Zhantian unleashed two large fireballs forward. However, the ordinary divine spells went silent after traveling less than two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters), failing to illuminate the darkness in the distance.
Helpless, he could only grab a small ball from his divine power and throw it out like a marble.
The light from this bullet will not be swallowed by the darkness and can illuminate a thousand feet away.
However, as the visible distance increased, Bai Zhantian's expression became more and more shocked, because this river of karma was particularly wide and did not flow on a flat plane, but rose sharply and spiraled upwards as it went forward!
The light between the divine essence and the bullet only illuminated the tip of the iceberg, but the panoramic view hidden in darkness was truly terrifying:
The ball of light flew upwards along the Black River, and the battle-hardened genius realized that this was not a river at all, but clearly a giant black serpent!
Black smoke billowed, forming the body of a giant serpent, its head held high, with two points of red light looking down upon Bai Zhantian from above.
The Serpent of Karma?
Even Bai Zhantian was shocked. With such a massive amount of karma, where had Hu Yi hidden it before? Wouldn't it turn on him and cause him to suffer a backlash?
At this moment, a glimmer of golden light appeared on the snake's head.
Although faint, it was very noticeable.
Bai Zhantian focused his gaze and discovered that it was the faint light emanating from General Tiger Wing's armor.
The man was sitting cross-legged on top of the giant snake's head, one hand supporting his chin and the other hand resting on his Floating Life Blade.
The black smoke of karma also spread from the snake's head to his body, appearing to rise, but it did not materialize into human faces around him.
For some unknown reason, this terrifying power seemed to be very submissive to General Tiger Wing.
