Without a doubt, the Eight Emperors were the strongest of the previous generation. Regardless of how strong they were, they were the top existences in both the past and present. Out of habit, people like Baek Sung-nam were called the new generation. Other than her, there were also people like Lake Fairy, Mute Monk, and even Lady Deep Sky under the Astral Queen.
What was the difference between the previous generation and the new generation?
It was simple.
In people's eyes, the new generation could replace the Eight Emperors as the new generation. This didn't mean that they could kick the Eight Emperors down, but that they might have the same strength and reputation. For example, if Mute Monk successfully advanced, he could definitely become a good person, like Mr. Black Minister or Dean Bai Minister, or even higher.
Tang Shidao was also considered a new generation.
Since he received the evaluation of the First Saint, everyone had already counted him in.
In contrast.
A new generation was a good thing for a certain race, but it was the opposite for other factions. If a genius appeared in the enemy's group, their own group would never be happy. Not to mention having ability, even if Tang Shidao kept a low profile like Mute Monk and didn't do anything, the beasts and monsters would still want to get rid of him.
The appearance of Faceless was first his own idea, and second, it was necessary for the monsters to suppress the human genius.
There was no need for hatred.
It was just a different standpoint.
It was like playing rock-paper-scissors with a friend. At that moment, you only thought about winning.
At this moment.
Once the battle entered "full power" mode, all noise and annoyance would automatically disappear, leaving only the simplest of winning and losing.
Tang Shidao put on the Flaming Feather Armor again to increase his defense. However, the unsheathed Inverted Shadow Dagger turned into a smoke state. Its attributes were far more than just smoke, it was even a shadow. Under Faceless' lightning speed slash, the Inverted Shadow Dagger easily pierced through the Flaming Feather Armor and drew a long deep mark on Tang Shidao's body. There were no more complicated calculations now, only the experience and ability of both sides.
The dagger finished slashing.
Tang Shidao's chest immediately drew a deep mark, but there was no blood on his chest. That was because it was a spatial rift. While Faceless was attacking, Tang Shidao also guessed that the Flaming Feather Raiment's defense wouldn't work, so he moved a Void Crack to the attacking position.
"What a terrifying ability. It can actually distort the void. Unfortunately … "Faceless didn't stop talking.
At this moment.
The cut on Tang Shidao's chest was fine, but the wound on his back was bleeding profusely.
Before the attack, after the injury.
The effects of the Inverting Dagger were truly hard to guard against.
"Should we continue?" Faceless didn't give chase. He didn't dare to be careless.
"You're talking on purpose, aren't you?" Tang Shidao frowned.
"That's right."
"You knew that I could hear and feel it, but you purposely kept talking … I understand now. Your actions just now were fake."
"That's right. The so-called words could be lies, and the thoughts in one's mind could also be self-deception. Since your six senses as a human cultivator can hear the thoughts of others, I might as well lie to myself. Now, everything I say, everything I think is just a random thought. The real attack is my body's instinct, and the Inverting Dagger's natural instinct to kill. "Faceless didn't hide anything.
He knew that it was useless to hide anything in front of a human cultivator's six senses, so he decided to just tell the truth.
"Passing off the false as the real? Not bad. "Tang Shidao praised.
"Human cultivators have perfect senses, but nothing in the world is perfect. No matter how beautiful a flower is, it won't be beautiful if someone breaks it. "
"Purposely destroying perfection, interesting. Well then, it's my turn. "
"Go ahead."
This was a battle of life and death, but the two of them weren't nervous at all. Someone who was truly confident would remain calm no matter what they faced. Tang Shidao raised his hand and clenched it into a fist. In an instant, countless eyes appeared in the air. Every eye was like a living eye that could see through all illusions.
When the spectators saw this familiar manifestation of the King's Domain, they couldn't help but think of the legendary person whose name once shook the entire Divine Kingdom.
The next second.
These eyes started to distort, transform, and transform. In the blink of an eye, they turned into faces of joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, fear, hatred, greed, boredom, weariness, depression, nervousness, excitement, and so on. These weren't exquisite human faces, but simple depictions of expressions. These faces formed from eyes didn't feel like they were participating. Instead, they felt like outsiders.
It was as if they were existences that didn't do anything.
What was even stranger was that these faces were of different sizes and expressions. Some of them were even half crying and half laughing.
"Holy Domain?" Faceless was slightly surprised.
"Yes."
"Minor curses can only create King's Domains, while major curses can create Holy Domains. Master Tang, is your human cultivation already comparable to a major curse? Okay, I think I asked a stupid question. It seems like it won't be that easy for me to win. Fortunately, this is the first level of the Primordial Law Domain, and physical arts are only at the basic level. "
"Holy Domains can increase the effect by ten times," Tang Shidao reminded.
"I know, it can also negate the effects of domains that are inferior to the enemy's, such as dispelling other people's domains and King's Domains." Faceless smiled.
Faceless was still fearless even at this point.
Confident people usually had their own reasons for doing so.
"Then …" Faceless raised his dagger again and was about to attack. Suddenly, he noticed a strange face not far from him. It looked like the face of a swindler who was trying to trick others. It felt like it was preparing to make some kind of tactical deception. Or rather, it was synchronizing with Faceless' inner thoughts.
"Oh no …" Faceless sighed. At the same time, Tang Shidao had already closed in and punched him in the chest.
A punch.
Faceless' body was completely scattered. Even though he had a smoke-like body, this punch still heavily injured him.
"Scary, my senses seem to have been disrupted." Faceless' smoke-like body quickly reformed.
He found that the colors he saw, the sounds he heard, and the hot and cold he felt had all become chaotic. In fact, he could even see hot and cold, hear red, blue, yellow, green, and other sounds. His entire sensory system had been disrupted.
"It's only temporary. With your ability, you'll be able to recover soon." Tang Shidao didn't deny that this was a sensory disruption.
At this time, a dagger also pierced through his fist.
Faceless was still holding the Inverted Dagger.
This dagger was just a shadow or a ball of energy. The only explanation for its existence was that Faceless had managed to strike back in a moment of haste.
"This' temporary 'is very fatal. A single second of our duel could decide our life and death."
"I think so too." Tang Shidao didn't hold back.
Their figures flashed.
Furious punches rained down.
In the moment when Faceless' senses were disrupted, he was beaten to the point where he couldn't fight back. Punches landed, body scattered, scattered, gathered again, gathered again, and attacked again. In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged dozens of blows. By the time Tang Shidao stopped and floated away, dozens of daggers had already pierced through his body, and a dozen more had pierced into his arms.
"If you don't do your best, you're dead." At this time, even Faceless' voice was disrupted, as if he was a half-machine.
As he spoke.
The black smoke on Faceless' right arm suddenly glowed, as if it had been dyed. His entire arm instantly glowed.
His black body.
His white right arm.
Everyone subconsciously looked at Law Overlord Yuan Ling, wondering if this Yuanzu Yuan Ling had cheated. However, Law Overlord Yuan Ling simply shook his head, indicating that he wasn't so free as to cut off his own arm and give it to Faceless. However, his smile also indicated that this was indeed Yuanzu Yuan Ling's arm. Although it wasn't his, there were many Yuanzu Yuan Ling in the top echelons of the alien races. Just because he didn't give it to Faceless didn't mean that others wouldn't.
Everyone understood this expression of 'there's a group of people who are just as awesome as me'.
They thought to themselves that the alien races were indeed the number one race.
They dominated the entire void, while the other races only occupied a small corner of it … The two races were completely different.
"It can be used for a while. However, I think it's better to gamble with a punch, "Faceless said seriously.
Tang Shidao didn't say anything. He simply clenched his fist and prepared to fight.
Faceless didn't want to waste any time.
His figure flickered, and his fist of light flashed. Just as he was about to attack, his fist had already arrived in front of Tang Shidao. In that instant, a strange phenomenon occurred in the entire world. Faceless' arm suddenly flashed, illuminating the entire world. In that instant, it seemed to devour all light and gather all the brilliance of heaven and earth into its fist. At the same time, Tang Shidao also swung his fist to meet Faceless' fist that gathered all the brilliance of heaven and earth.
This kind of head-on fighting was the stupidest of all, but it was also the easiest to determine the victor.
The two fists collided.
There was an explosion of light, and both combatants stopped moving at the same time. For a moment, both sides seemed to be evenly matched. However, dozens of inverted daggers made of blood suddenly shot out of Tang Shidao's body, as if they were attacking from the inside. Everyone immediately realized that Faceless had set up this trap when he first injured Tang Shidao. The miraculous effect of the inverted daggers was that they could even hide the damage done.
Both sides were evenly matched.
Tang Shidao suddenly suffered a fatal blow, and the balance was naturally broken.
A second later.
Faceless' body vanished into thin air … He had been reduced to ashes by countless fists made of blood.
Outside the arena.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The plot had reversed again and again, and they didn't even have time to imagine it.
This time, only a small group of people came back to their senses and guessed that this was not Faceless' plan, but Tang Shidao's premeditated plan. Faceless had indeed hidden a fatal move in Tang Shidao's body, but Tang Shidao might have deliberately fallen for it.
"Because of the power of a human cultivator?" Faceless had already been blasted out of the arena, and the arm of light had also been destroyed.
"Yes. My human cultivation allows me to have absolute control over myself, and it's impossible for external forces to infiltrate my body without me knowing. In addition to being a human cultivator, I've also practiced the Great Art of Exhaustion, so it's impossible for me to be deceived by negative forces. It's even more impossible for you to urge my blood to 'riot' or 'rebel'. I can perfectly control my body, even if it's just a strand of hair. "
"So I was tricked. I thought I had a good hand." Faceless smiled bitterly and didn't intend to return to the arena.
He was about to say something.
Suddenly.
The strong light in the arena quickly liquefied and converged into a model of a 'figure of light'. At the same time, this figure of light was like a whirlpool, drawing clouds and runes of light from the Genesis Cloud on the other side of the arena. There was no need to think too much about it. Only Yuanzu Yuan Ling could merge and borrow from nature like this.
After a few breaths, the figure of light breathed deeply as if it were alive.
It had to be said that its appearance was ninety percent similar to Yuan Ling's human form.
"I only have one hour. Because it's borrowed energy, it'll dissipate once it's over," the figure of light said. It didn't say its name, and it believed that only Faceless knew its true identity. It seemed that it wanted to challenge Faceless as well.
"Thank you." Tang Shidao was surprised at first, but he suddenly smiled and thanked it.
"Hm?" The figure of light was confused.
"Thank you for the hint. Although you didn't mean it, I've thought it through. I've always wanted to use powerful opponents to stimulate myself, but that was wrong. I don't need to rely on others. I can do it myself. "Tang Shidao let out a long breath and entered a subtle state.
"What do you mean?" The figure of light didn't quite understand.
"The method of Three Nothingness … For example, this …" Tang Shidao didn't say anything else and flashed to the other side of the arena, next to the Genesis Cloud. He stretched out his hand and pressed it against the cloud wall. In an instant, the void cracks on Tang Shidao's body were like the mouth of a Taotie, crazily sucking in the clouds of the Genesis Cloud.
Even stranger.
The Genesis Cloud wasn't at a disadvantage at all. It also opened its huge mouth and aimed at the void cracks on Tang Shidao's body, extracting, absorbing, and swallowing.
