Baiyi had always thought that the saying, 'The greatest enemy is yourself', was just an ideological metaphor. He did not expect it to become a reality. The monster had morphed into Baiyi's Black Glutinous Rice Ball form. Even the blue ribbon on its head was the same. The two Black Glutinous Rice Balls were stabbing each other with their Void Energy spears. From time to time, they would unleash ranged attacks such as Black Void Flame and Annihilation Lightning. It was a chaotic battle.
"Why don't I feel like I'm that powerful?" Baiyi said in the Void. The black spear in his right hand suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind the enemy, stabbing towards the monster's back. At the same time, he pointed his empty left hand at the ground where the monster was standing, and a black formation instantly appeared under its feet.
The monster subconsciously levitated into the air, and it collided with the Void Spear that was hiding behind it. A loud explosion ensued, and the monster regained its form. Then, imitating Baiyi's earlier trick, it sent another Void Spear to his back.
Baiyi hurriedly threw out another Void Spear to meet the attack head-on. Another violent explosion occurred behind him, and black energy surged out, leaving black cracks in the air.
"It's imitating you! This can't go on! You have to find a way to destroy it!" The Archmage was getting anxious. This monster that could imitate and regenerate itself unconditionally was a formidable foe!
Although the monster was lacking in combat experience, it had performed a few moves that were full of loopholes, such as jumping high into the air. Baiyi had taken the opportunity to break it apart, but it had regenerated itself again and again! Even though Baiyi currently had the upper hand and the upper hand, as the monster gradually mastered Baiyi's combat experience, the situation would become more dangerous.
What was more troublesome was that the corrosive effect of Void Energy seemed to have no effect on the monster's body. It felt like the most common force, and it lacked a lot of lethality.
Baiyi's situation was not looking good.
"It's not that bad … Look around you …" Baiyi's state of mind was relatively calm. As he spoke, he brandished a gigantic Void Spear with both of his hands and engaged the monster in close-quarters combat.
As the two of them fought, the area they were in had already been completely destroyed. The black area that resembled the void was like a drop of ink dripping into clear water. It began to spread endlessly, and even black cracks began to appear in the empty sky. Even the sky in the distance seemed to have begun to visibly shrink.
Void Energy was capable of devouring anything and everything, including space itself. The space that Baiyi was in was rapidly being destroyed by the battle between the two combatants. If things continued like this, the entire space would collapse in an instant.
Every time the monster regenerated, the space would collapse even faster. The monster's rebirth was not without a price! However, the monster's strength also grew rapidly as it fought Baiyi. So, was it the first one to emerge victorious? Or was the space Baiyi was in the first to collapse?
However, judging from the current situation, the monster seemed to be growing even faster than Baiyi. Its movements were getting faster and faster, and its mastery of Void Hellfire and Void Shackles was getting better and better. Gradually, Baiyi was no longer able to completely suppress the monster, and the two of them were now evenly matched. The speed at which the dimension was collapsing was also slowing down.
"Your limit is just another me …" Baiyi said in a low voice, and the spear in his hand blocked the monster's attack. The collision of the two forces caused a series of crackling sounds in the air, and from time to time, small black sparks burst out. Baiyi, under the pressure of his opponent, actually took a few steps back.
In terms of pure strength, he was already at a disadvantage.
Out of consideration for Mia's endurance, his output was still limited in the end …
"Heh … You're pretty strong, huh?" Baiyi said in a low voice, feeling the increasing strength in his hand. He kept retreating, and the opponent's face, which was exactly the same as his, was shrouded in black mist, getting closer and closer to him.
"But … I've never been a person who only knows how to use brute force!"
Baiyi roared. His hands that were blocking the spear turned skillfully, and his body leaned to the side. At the same time, he diverted the opponent's force, and suddenly, with all his strength, he flicked the spear in the monster's hand away. Using the momentum, he brushed past the monster. At that moment, he turned his body at an even faster speed, and the end of the spear slid across the ground. Three shockwaves that looked like Chi Blades cut through the ground under his feet, slashing towards the monster's back.
In an instant, another black formation appeared on his left hand, and a thick black ray shot out from it. The monster's entire body was hit, and it was cut in half. Then, it was cut by the three Chi Blades, and in an instant, it was cut into six pieces.
He won again. However, such an attack could not kill this disgusting opponent. Its body began to reform in front of Baiyi's eyes.
Still, it bought Baiyi a little bit of time.
"We can't let this drag on any longer!" The Knight who had always been silent could not help but speak.
"I know," Baiyi replied. He quickly leaped backward, putting some distance between himself and the monster. "The next attack must decide the winner. Let's just hope Mia can hold on …"
It seemed that he was going to gather his strength for a final attack.
Suddenly, he retracted his black meatball form, and the black energy that surrounded his body dispersed, revealing the armor underneath. Then, like a rolling mist, it quickly gathered on his right hand.
He bent his waist slightly, with his left hand on his knee and his right hand bent horizontally in front of his chest. The Void Energy that gathered gradually formed into the shape of a black arrow, hovering under his right palm.
At the same time, a formation that was taller than his body appeared behind him. The formation was covered with black runes, and it was spinning slowly. In the distance, the monster had already resurrected. It looked at Baiyi, who had suddenly stopped his transformation, and was slightly stunned. It did not seem to understand why Baiyi would give up his sturdier body in a fight like this.
'I'm sorry, Mia …' Baiyi sighed inwardly. He controlled the energy arrow with his right hand and aimed it at the monster. He silently muttered the name of the technique that he had originally planned to use in his final battle against the gods. It was not as shameful as the ones that the Archmage had come up with. It was a simple word.
"Polaris!"
In an instant, the black formation behind Baiyi bloomed like a flower, bursting with a black light. Then, it shattered into tiny black dots that looked like smoke or fireworks, scattering in all directions.
Baiyi's body had already turned into a black ray of light as he shot towards his opponent. It was as if he had the speed of light. He covered a distance of a hundred meters in the blink of an eye, and before the monster could react, he had already appeared behind it! The energy arrow in Baiyi's hand had disappeared, and what was left was a tiny bit of energy that scattered like broken petals, falling to the ground at Baiyi's feet.
Baiyi was still in the same position as when he had activated the spell. He slowly straightened his body, and before the monster could turn its head around, Baiyi said in a low voice, "You're already dead …"
As his voice trailed off, the monster's body exploded into countless pieces, turning into a large, sparkling, sparkling light that filled the remaining space.
This time, it did not come back to life.
From a bird's eye view, a ten-meter-wide ravine had been carved into the ground from where Baiyi had first activated the Void Energy to where the monster stood. The ravine had been left behind by the Void Energy, and the ravine was even deeper and heavier. It was as if the entire world had been split in half.
The place where he had activated the spell was left with an even darker semicircle, as if a piece of the entire space had been dug out.
The strange space had shrunk to the point where it could only cover the entire battlefield. The black cracks that had been left behind during the battle began to expand rapidly, and the remaining canopy of the sky began to crumble.
"This is what it looks like when the sky falls, right?" Baiyi looked up at the sky, and then down at his right hand. Fine cracks had spread from his gauntlet to his entire right arm, as if it would shatter if he were to touch it again. This was the aftereffect of unleashing that skill. The power that had been compressed to its limit had been unleashed in an instant. Even though Baiyi had reinforced his right arm with Void Energy, it still left such a scar on it.
"Ugh … I think I'll have to transform before I use it again. Otherwise, my body won't be able to take it …" Baiyi muttered helplessly in the Void.
The principle behind the skill was simple. It was to compress and condense the maximum amount of power, like a rubber band that was constantly being twisted. When the rubber band was finally loosened, it would explode with a powerful force to attack the enemy. It was similar to the skill that he had used against Thaas, but the rubber band was tighter, and the speed and strength of the compressed power were greater.
This kind of power could not be guided or controlled by Psychic Energy, so Baiyi had to act as a human guide. That was why the aftereffect was so great.
"This should be the end, right?" Baiyi scanned his surroundings. The space around him was already filled with cracks. Then, with the sound of glass shattering, the space around him shattered like a broken glass cup, scattering into a sea of stars. Baiyi's field of vision was instantly engulfed by pure darkness.
