Since it couldn't be shaken, a counterforce followed.
Compared to a physical shock wave, a psychological shock wave would explode much earlier.
"Extraordinary!"
In Gong Qi's eyes, the greenish-gray color that seemed to be sealed in ice cracked. At this moment, the colors and luminosity in front of his eyes rapidly changed.
The hole in the rock formation that had just been pierced through was originally colored by the flames and dark clouds. Now, a pure and dazzling light gathered, like the muzzle of a giant space ship that was accumulating energy and waiting to fire. Dazzling light waves also leaped out from the depths of the distorted cracks. However, there were no signs of leakage. All there was was seemingly infinite convergence, binding, and compression!
The top of the cloud pillar that was about to smash into the rock formation directly collapsed. The newly constructed region of laws at the entrance of the hole wasn't big, but it was so solid that it left one in despair. And it was precisely this solid strength that had firmly locked onto Gong Qi's location within the greenish-gray cloud pillar. It was unwavering and unwavering.
In an instant, the offensive and defensive positions switched. Gong Qi, who had already grasped the absolute initiative, suddenly became the hunting target of others.
"F * ck!"
Amidst Gong Qi's rare curse, the greenish-gray cumulonimbus cloud that was like a towering cliff suddenly collapsed, and the illusory clouds scattered in all directions. A portion of it quickly evaporated under the high temperature and pressure of the Bloodsoul Temple's domain, but most of it settled and expanded, occupying more areas. It also projected Gong Qi's unique laws into a wider range.
In that instant, the temperature of the Bloodsoul Temple domain dropped as a whole. Gong Qi's laws formed sufficient interference. Even though it was still far from achieving its goal of "suppression", it still gave Gong Qi a chance to move in an extremely short period of time.
With a hum, the clouds in the area where Gong Qi was trembled. His spirit body fluctuated with the tremors before turning incorporeal.
Almost at the same time, the ionization channel's structure was completed. A dazzling electric dragon rumbled down, completely evaporating the clouds and the corresponding laws where Gong Qi was. The air, already distorted under the high temperature and pressure, no longer had the ability to expand or make a sound. It looked like a frozen scene, but it was still shocking.
There was no doubt that it was an Extraordinary-level technique!
Gong Qi's figure appeared 50 meters away. At that critical moment, he had relied on the interference of the cloud's laws and the corresponding teleportation technique to escape. However, he did not relax in the slightest. There was only unresolvable fear in his heart.
Who's that over there? The Abyssal Zone was sturdy and stable, so it was definitely a psychic. Not to mention, it was the electromagnetic field with the widest range of interference … It seemed like there was no such person in the Inner Plane.
It couldn't be the government or the military, right?
Before he could react, another surprise attack came. Behind Gong Qi, Madame Halder followed the strange gravitational pull of the net frame and caught onto Gong Qi's teleportation destination. She silently arrived, and a blood-red light pierced through.
"Get lost!"
With a low shout, Gong Qi forcefully pushed back the blood light that had pounced at him. This was an unfair collision. Amidst the chaotic blood light, Madame Halder was no longer even recognizable as a human. But that incorporeal blade was accompanied by a mocking laugh. It was as if it had been smeared with corrosive poison, and it stabbed right into his heart.
"The taste of fear is actually not bad."
"…"
Gong Qi seemed to have suffered another heavy punch. In his Spirit Body state, he had abandoned most of his useless physiological emotions, like a dried up river. But at this moment, the stimulation from the explosion had replaced the transmission of neurotransmitters with an even more direct psychic wave current. It had created an even more tragic wound and crack.
He had just finished mentally preparing himself and reconstructed his analysis of the situation and corresponding strategies. The heavy punch that came smashing at him didn't just smash his face, it also smashed the foundation of his survival!
His mind was in a daze. At this moment, the long scar left by the lightning dragon was still lingering in the clouds, and the light waves in the cracks in the rock stratum had already begun to gather for the second time. His attention was inevitably drawn to it. If the lightning cannons above his head were to fire continuously, and each strike had the same might as the one just now …
Oh no!
Signs of danger suddenly appeared. It didn't come from the "cannons" above him, but from the "trajectory" of the lightning dragon. Just as the lightning intersected with the lava at the bottom, a figure suddenly burst out. Taking advantage of the gap in Gong Qi's absent-minded state, the figure instantly crushed through the domain space that was still trembling and arrived with a loud bang.
There really was a cannonball in the lightning cannon that had just been fired!
Gong Qi had avoided the first attack, but he ultimately couldn't avoid the second.
The threat came suddenly and fiercely. The tyrannical rule interference distorted and destroyed Gong Qi's mental sensing network.
He could capture the other party's momentum, but he couldn't further analyze it. He instinctively wanted to teleport far away again, but the surrounding turbulent rule environment didn't give him the chance. Helplessly, the green-gray light around his body flickered and extinguished. He gathered the clouds and forcefully constructed the rule to form a sturdy barrier.
However, the barrier had just formed when it was forcefully blasted apart. An arm wrapped in metal armor, similarly wrapped in dazzling lightning, blasted toward him.
Physical side!
His initial judgment was instantly overturned. They were both electromagnetic directions, but how could the mental side and physical side be the same? Especially in his haste, the other party had actually closed in on him. The tyrannical qi and blood in his body rushed back to the abyss area, forming the most troublesome interference field. If his foundation in the abyss area was still intact, he could still forcefully pull it up to a higher level and move toward the polar domain to obtain space to move around. But now that his foundation was destroyed, he would be a beat slower even if he were to improvise during normal times. How could he engage in close combat?
Gong Qi's heart palpitated. Almost at the same time, the lightning fist struck his face. The structure of his spirit body collapsed with a hum, and then it entangled with the green-gray essence energy around him. It was as if a gale had swept through the clouds and dispersed in all directions.
This was thanks to Gong Qi's out-of-body state, which allowed him to disperse so easily and avoid the frontal attack.
But the person who punched didn't make a sound. He slightly retracted his fist, and his body wrapped in exoskeleton armor spun along with the momentum of the fist. It was precisely this spin that instantly transformed the violent impact into a fist stance that was ready to be launched. It could be withdrawn at will, and its rotation was in no way weaker than Gong Qi's in his spirit body state.
In particular, the electric current that leaped around his body supported a strong electromagnetic field on the physical plane, and achieved a storm-like disturbance on the mental plane. This kind of switch between offense and defense, as well as powerful control of the field, reflected the stance of a top-notch expert.
It was also because of this that Gong Qi couldn't help but expend a bit more effort to reassemble his spirit body. Instead, a certain name naturally flickered in his mind, and then it was shot out.
"Jin Tong!"
In Gong Qi's memory, there was only one Extraordinaire who could control electromagnetic power by his side! Once he was alarmed, that familiar aura imprint was also peeled off from the outer shell of the exoskeleton armor and the strange skin membrane. It was reflected in his mind, and there was no doubt about it.
Gong Qi's furious thoughts swept through the void, but it didn't trigger any additional reactions. The other party locked onto Gong Qi's spirit body again, and without a word, launched another round of violent attacks. Gong Qi's spirit body structure was once again destroyed with two or three punches.
"Jin Tong, you're f * cking crazy!"
From what Gong Qi knew, Jin Tong was a top-notch Wilderness Hunter. The Metal Hunting Group under him was quite powerful, and at the same time, he had a long-term cooperative relationship with the Ability User Association. After all, the association was the largest distributor of mutant resources in the inner world. Jin Tong's team's annual transactions with the association were in the hundreds of millions, and they involved quite a lot of premium products. To the other party, they were both important clients.
With such a background, Gong Qi and Jin Tong naturally had a friendship. Even if they weren't best buddies, they still had contact every year.
But what the hell was with the current situation!?
Gong Qi's mind was in turmoil. Countless thoughts rose and fell, combining into thousands of conspiracy possibilities. Like the shadows of trees swaying in the dark night, they unfolded in his heart.
He knew that his condition was terrible, but he couldn't calm down for a moment. In just a few flashes of thought, his spirit body structure was once again destroyed. This time, it wasn't because he was actively disintegrating the force, but because it had really been smashed apart by the heavy punch.
Gong Qi was really injured. Even though his spirit body was immune to attacks on the material plane, and he had a partial advantage over the fleshly body, this was still unable to completely dissolve Jin Tong's tyrannical blood energy. At the same time, his mental defenses, which had been damaged and then reconstructed, collapsed yet another corner. Countless invisible cracks spread out.
This couldn't continue. This absolutely couldn't continue!
Gong Qi still didn't understand why Jin Tong would stand by Luo Nan's side. Furthermore, Jin Tong had used the exoskeleton armor to hide his head but show his tail. Perhaps this was an unsolvable riddle. And the more realistic problem was that he had already completely lost the initiative after making consecutive misjudgments. Jin Tong was pressuring him at close range. Jin Tong's powerful fighting style, berserk attacks, and meticulous control of the field, was even stronger than what Gong Qi knew. Jin Tong's state was clearly at its peak, and Jin Tong didn't give Gong Qi a chance to catch his breath. With Gong Qi's current half-crippled state, Gong Qi would probably be forcefully ground to death if things continued like this.
Screw you!
In this desperate situation, Gong Qi's greenish-gray pupils cracked like a layer of ice before shattering with a bang. In this moment, he completely abandoned the structure of his spirit body. He fused with his essence energy that had been tempered and tempered a thousand times to form a haze of light that was half-illusory and incorporeal. He forcefully invaded the lightning that coiled around Jin Tong's body.
Gong Qi didn't disperse the structure of his spirit body to unload the force. Instead, he wanted to fight Jin Tong on a more detailed, more microscopic level. He wanted to crazily strangle Jin Tong. And the consumption that came from this would increase by several times, dozens of times. It was even possible that the core of Jin Tong's spirit body would be damaged. There would be no end to future troubles.
His life was gone. Who cared about future troubles!?
Mrs. Halder controlled her bloody light to stop on the outskirts. She originally wanted to quietly cut in and seize some of the spoils of battle. But the situation entered the most intense level in the first instant. The blazing white lightning and the greenish-gray essence energy permeated and counter-permeated. They resisted and countered, stirring up a dark ring of fire. It noiselessly tore apart the domain of the Bloodsoul Temple, isolating a deadly environment. Anyone who tried to force their way in would become the venting point for the clashing forces of two Extraordinaries. They would suffer double the damage.
She didn't have any chance to intervene. She could only drag her ruined body, quietly sense and wait. One of her eyes had already been blasted apart under the continuous clashes. The crystal had evaporated, but her mind's eye was clear and penetrating. Luo Nan's framework served as a probing needle, and it pierced straight into the depths of the enemy's heart.
Gong Qi was truly going all out. He displayed an unprecedented decisiveness. The greenish-gray essence energy was like leaping icy flames within the area where he and Jin Tong fought. It possessed a water-like penetrative power, but it also contained a violent destructive power. The lightning that Jin Tong controlled had already interweaved into a net, but now this net began to warp violently. From time to time, the knots of the net would collapse, the lines would reconnect, and then the net would be reconstructed …. The cycle continued.
But Gong Qi was terrified. His mental defenses were damaged, reconstructed, and broken. The scars had already been deeply branded into the deepest recesses of his will. He was able to be this decisive right now because the cracks that had opened up were gushing flames of fury. They formed an explosive driving force …. Fear and fury were two sides of the same coin. They could switch at any time.
How long could Gong Qi last? Under the eruption of near uncontrollable power, under the suction of the framework net ….
Oh?
Mrs. Halder furrowed her brows slightly.
Within the dark ring of fire where the Extraordinaries fought, a strange colored flame suddenly flickered. It came from Jin Tong's body, which had been as steady as a mountain.
It was the exoskeleton armor wrapped around his body. A layer of flame had burned through it, leaving behind shallow scorch marks and ashes. And in the area where the flame had yet to burn out, the fascia-like foreign body that was wrapped around him was only an insignificant amount. It was still twitching under the roasting, as if it was alive.
"Tsk!"
Mrs. Halder could clearly hear someone smacking his tongue in annoyance.
Gong Qi, who was within the ring of battle, felt it more directly. The pressure from Jin Tong's side suddenly dropped, and an inconceivable break appeared in the tempestuous rhythm of attacks ….
A chance!
Gong Qi's thoughts had already fallen far behind his instinctive reactions in this moment where the rules and energy interweaved. He made the most correct action in an instant … The greenish-gray essence energy instantly converged. Its light and color were purified to the point of being nearly transparent. At the same time, it was tempered to a sharpness that exceeded the limits of its limits. It also possessed a dark damage that could corrode the soul. Under the guidance of the energy, it seized the break point that shouldn't have appeared and pierced straight in.
The sharp essence energy spear directly pierced into the center of the exoskeleton armor's visor. It pierced through two layers of metal armor and the flesh and blood in the middle. It went forward and out, completely penetrating through.
Eh, it hit?
At this moment, Gong Qi was somewhat at a loss. It wasn't easy for his lagging thoughts to catch up, but an irrelevant thought appeared in his mind.
He remembered that Jin Tong was too casual when it came to controlling electromagnetic energy. He also had the special ability to transform his body into metal. The two complemented each other and were enough to support a complete system of rules. Therefore, he didn't really like it or was very good at cooperating with exoskeleton armor. It was also very difficult for there to be a vehicle in the world that was suitable for him to carry his extraordinary strength …
Is this guy in front of me really Jin Tong?
The sudden reversal of the situation also reversed the direction of the power. Gong Qi's attack caused the deadlock between the two to lose balance, and it poured out in the direction of the weaker side.
The strength of the exoskeleton armor's structure couldn't withstand this level of impact. In the blink of an eye, it twisted and collapsed. Of course, the first to collapse was the visor that had suffered a direct hit.
A strange bloody light seeped out.
Gong Qi's senses pierced through the broken metal outer shell and the strange bloody light. He locked onto the distorted face that still gave him a familiar feeling.
Jin Tong. No, it wasn't. At least not at certain times!
In the bloody light, a blurry face that was still pierced by the Essence Qi spear was melting. Jin Tong's facial features reappeared, like a clay work that had been pinched. But just as this face was formed, it distorted and melted away. The blurry face from before replaced it, bringing with it an indescribable familiarity and unfamiliarity … Then, it distorted, melted, replaced, and the cycle repeated.
That's … my face?
Rumble!
Gong Qi's thoughts suddenly left the established track. Amidst the rumbling sounds, he seemed to have crashed off a cliff, tumbling and struggling in the void.
It was precisely because of this that he didn't notice that Lady Halder, who had been waiting outside for a long time, had once again controlled the bloody light and silently charged forward.
Gong Qi fell into a state of uncontrollable thinking. There were many things he understood, but there were still many things he didn't understand. But no matter what, that turbid and malevolent truth that contained great cruelty and great terror smashed into the depths of his heart, transforming into a demonic claw that fiercely clawed at him.
The front of the Essence Qi was still in front of him. That incomparably familiar face was trembling and stirring. Even if it was a living person, even if it was a Transcendent, 99% of them would still die. Lady Halder's aura was rapidly weakening, but Gong Qi was also rapidly weakening.
This was a weakening of the spiritual plane, to the point of collapse!
The barrier of will shattered with a rumble. His emotions were like an erupting volcano, exploding with destructive flames and emitting a sharp howl in the chaotic spiritual world.
Lady Halder closed in, and the bloody light pierced into the depths of the azure-gray Essence Qi that had just gathered. But in the next moment, the azure-gray light exploded outwards. Freezing and exploding, two completely different types of killing power simultaneously struck Lady Halder's body.
The bloody light condensed and then exploded. Lady Halder's already badly damaged body seemed to have been stripped of all flesh and blood. All that was left was a twisted skeleton that was still burning fiercely. But it was this twisted burning skeleton that firmly absorbed the azure-gray Essence Qi in front of it. It was as if it had been smeared with superglue, or perhaps it had been thoroughly magnetized.
"Deputy Secretary-General Gong, you don't have a chance anymore!"
The repeated declaration was like a poisoned blade that pierced through him a second time.
Gong Qi roared. He wanted to tear apart Lady Halder, who was twisting around him. At the same time, he wanted to tear apart the rapidly weakening, but still tenaciously existing nightmarish face.
But, he was also weakening.
At the core of his spiritual body, a shadow of nothingness was rapidly spreading out. It was like a plant that devoured flesh and blood. After growing stronger in secret, it would reveal its malevolent face and openly inject poison into his blood, carrying out a terrifying transformation.
Behind the fury was fear.
After two violent struggles, Gong Qi was still unable to break free from Lady Halder, nor was he able to resist the swallowing of the shadow at the bottom of his heart. Then, his emotions would naturally overturn, and a cold wind of fear would blow into the cracks in his collapsed heart.
It was quite ironic that his thoughts returned at this moment.
Gong Qi completely understood. His opponent's main direction of attack had never been the suppression of the Bloodsoul Temple's domain. It wasn't Lady Halder. It wasn't the Extraordinary that had driven him mad. His opponent had been corroding his mind from beginning to end, injecting a fatal poison into the depths of his heart. This was similar to the methods of the Darksider species. It was the ultimate move that the apex masters of the mind were proficient in.
Luo Nan was a master of the mind!
Gong Qi suddenly stirred. This was the first time he had given the youth a clear position. Seeing his opponent clearly was tantamount to seeing himself clearly. In his daze, he seemed to have grasped a thread of hope.
Although Luo Nan held the upper hand, he had used all his trump cards. He had no backup plans. This place wasn't far from Spring City. Right now, two great combat powers were tangling with him. The Bloodsoul Temple's domain had ruptured open during the battle. It was hard to isolate the inside from the outside. Even if he couldn't teleport away, he just needed to slow down and drag out the deadlock. The aura of an Extraordinary would most likely be able to attract the attention of others. If ….
The ground shook. It was as if a drum was heavily pounding on his chest. The lava cavern was shaking. The source of the shaking came from the turbulence of the structure of the void.
Gray mist was seeping in from a certain part of the broken domain of the Bloodsoul Temple. The crack that the Bloodsoul Ants had pierced through and fixed in place. It was clearly only wisps, but the moment it seeped in, the high temperature and pressure of the Infernal Inferno was smeared with a layer of indescribable gray matter. The luminosity of the entire lava cavern suddenly dimmed.
Gong Qi's mind trembled. This was because he was certain that these wisps of gray mist came from the mist maze he had just escaped from not too long ago. This wasn't mist. It was a domain fragment. It was a space-time structural element that was refined to the extreme.
The change in luminosity of the lava cavern only proved one thing: these refined space-time components were rapidly infiltrating and fusing with the domain of the Bloodsoul Temple. There were practically no conflicts at all in this grand and complex project that made one's scalp go numb. Even if there were, they would be adjusted at an inconceivable speed.
This series of processes looked like scribbles that were casually drawn, but the final result was clearly the most exquisite of meticulous paintings.
In terms of the construction of space-time, this was a gap that made one despair. And what was even more despairing was that the gap in the domain that had just been exposed had already been completely mended in the time of a few breaths. Its tenacity was even greater than before.
Could it be that he had to be called a space-time master in addition to a spiritual master?
Gong Qi's spiritual senses wandered around blankly. In the depths of his mind, a shadow that was like a moldy and rotten lump continued to expand. Perhaps it was because he had assimilated to a certain level, but for the first time, he clearly captured that invisible towering frame net.
His mind probed and was immediately enveloped by a blazing light.
The sun, the seemingly familiar sun of the abyss!
In the dark and boundless deep sky, the sun sat in the center. Spider webs weaved densely and bloody light flowed. That was the frequent exchange and transformation of vitality and origin energy. A considerable portion of it came from his body.
At this moment, Gong Qi was clearly a mosquito that had been tied up into a cocoon. Countless spider webs entangled him and countless nodes were digested. There was no chance or hope for him.
Heh, heh heh!
Gong Qi suddenly let out another roar. The scene of the spiritual world collapsed amidst the roar and he returned to the plane of reality. Before his eyes was a dark red space. It was the embryonic form of some domain.
The local space-time, the domain of the Bloodsoul Temple, and the domain fragment of the misty labyrinth. If these three structures completely converged and fused together, this would be the Extraordinary domain. It would not be an exaggeration to call Luo Nan a space-time master at that time.
But right now …. He was still a bit short.
The crux of the matter lay in the fact that no powerful person in the world could evolve into a domain with just a strand of thought. This proved that Luo Nan, the psychic and space-time genius, was here … … Perhaps he had just arrived, or perhaps he had been hiding here for a long time.
In any case, the youth was here. He was within the range of his attack and slaughter!
Ever since the battle began, Gong Qi's mind had never been this clear and this focused. Death was a foregone conclusion, and the final hindrance vanished in a puff of smoke. His extraordinary-level mental senses radiated the most penetrating rays of light, illuminating this extremely vast yet imperfect void.
Then Gong Qi caught a glimpse of a figure.
That figure should also be in a spirit body state.
A sharp howl rang out, and the green-gray essence energy instantly ignited and purified. It was just like how it pierced through the Extraordinary body. It burned with hatred and fury, tempered into the sharpest of spears and swords, and shot across the sky.
"Die!"
Gong Qi had already exhausted everything he had in this fearless attack, including the teleportation technique that he had been unable to use due to the interference of the domain. Thus, he erased practically all of the distance between them. The spear and sword of essence energy had already arrived in front of the target's face.
The abyssal region, no, an even higher region, operated marvelously. The spirit body figure that originally existed in the world suddenly rose to a higher level, taking a step upwards.
This step was from the real to the virtual.
This step was beyond the reach of his strength.
Gong Qi burst forth with another howl, and at this moment, he suddenly saw a pair of unfamiliar and cold eyes.
The eyes were extremely close, yet they were very far away. It was loathsome.
Gong Qi instinctively wanted to destroy these eyes, but in this instant, it was as if he had fallen into a long, winding river. He went against the waves and struggled forward, but he was swept even further away by the torrent of water.
The ice-cold waves washed over him, taking away his energy and vitality, taking away his life force and spiritual light, taking away his emotions and thoughts, taking away everything that should be a life. All that was left was old, decaying, decaying, and other worthless things.
Gong Qi howled and struggled forward. Finally, he saw a slightly familiar face. It was one of his most profound memories before he fell into the cloud world.
It was the girl who attracted him to Xia City, the girl who was worth two-thousandth of the shares of the Deep Blue Project.
He did not know that his thoughts and the corresponding state of mind formed a nearly perfect mirror image of Jin Tong, who had fiercely fought him before his death.
