Li Xiang was stunned for a moment before he understood the meaning behind Bai Shili's words.
"With the body as the seed, the flesh and blood as the soil, and the bones as the support, the purest path of a player should not be mixed with any other powers. At my level of cultivation, be it magic particles, elemental particles, secret arts, battle techniques, domains, or forms, they are all nothingness. Only myself is the most genuine and important existence," Bai Shili said slowly.
Bai Shili said slowly. His slender body exuded a slight but unknown wave. It was as if every cell in the air was his, but also as if nothing was his.
"This is my cultivation method. I spend a long time and years to fuse everything I've learned into my body. I only use my body as the purest weapon. There's no domain, no Mythical Creature form, no Disaster weapon, nothing at all. There's only this."
Bai Shili stared at Li Xiang. All of a sudden, he clenched his snow-white fists. His demeanor was like jade, and just by standing there, one could feel a boundless charm radiating from him. This was the aura of a supreme expert that permeated the heavens and earth. No one could even touch his robes.
The fist maintained its punching posture as it gradually enlarged in Li Xiang's eyes. Bai Shili's terrifying aura was like the mountains and seas, like the primordial desolation, and like the vast stars.
His aura was still increasing!
Li Xiang narrowed his eyes, unable to suppress the astonishment in his heart.
Level 10!
Bai Shili was also at level 10!
With this punch, the heavens and the earth howled, and a distant corner of the universe seemed to resonate with it.
This was the purest and truest punch. Just as he'd said, it didn't contain any extra energy. Every single bit of it came from within his body, and after a long period of time, it instantly erupted with a might that shook the heavens and the earth.
The wind was as fast as lightning, and the thunderclouds roared.
Countless experts in the training academy below raised their heads and subconsciously looked at the corner of the sky. Above the sculpture, two figures stood proudly, facing each other, shooting out a terrifying power that could shatter mountains.
This was a battle at the very peak. Under their precise control, only those who were in that area would be affected. One black, one white, two strands of energy interweaved together, reveling in joy, playing this era's most resplendent symphony!
They did not expect to see such a top-notch battle on the first day of school. A few Level 9 students recognized the two and could not help but exclaim, "It's the Polar night player Li Xiang and Bai Shili!"
Bai King was Bai Shili's new title. He was above King. Just like before, he looked down on everyone.
This was a battle at the peak of the seven continents, and the two of them were clearly preparing to exchange pointers. They would not harm the innocent, and they would control their strength to a certain extent. It would be a battle of cultivation realms.
For those who were lucky enough to witness the battle, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as they could comprehend a little from the scattered sparks, their strength would quickly increase by a large margin.
Every spark represented their understanding of various rules and powers. It contained supreme will, enough for others to comprehend for a lifetime!
A few Level 9 students could not wait to absorb the scattered sparks into their bodies, feeling the afterglow of the battle and comprehending the complex rules within. There was Bai Shili's understanding of the player's cultivation, and there was Li Xiang's control of the rules of power. Every piece was important, and it was a rare, supreme understanding on the path of cultivation!
In the crowd, Baimiya raised her head slightly. The extremely bright light was so blinding that she could not open her eyes. She was overwhelmed with emotions. That person, the person she had been thinking about all these years, the person she could not forget. At this moment, she suddenly felt that she was too far away from him.
It was like the stars and the sea facing each other, but they could not touch each other for the rest of their lives.
Drops of crystal-clear golden tears slid down her cheeks. Baimiya, who had always been proud and arrogant, suddenly revealed a pitiful expression. She was crying, and her voice was getting louder and louder. It even covered the surrounding noise.
She had tried her best to catch up to that person, but it was just like what she had seen during the player's assessment. His speed was unreachable. Every second, the distance between them was widening. Now, the distance between them was something that she would have to spend her entire life trying to catch up to!
Baimiya kept wiping her tears with the back of her hand, forcing herself to stop crying. She raised her head and continued to stare at the figure in the light.
In the sky.
Bai Shili had no intention of retracting his punch. He looked calmly at Li Xiang, waiting for his response.
This punch seemed like it would land at any moment, but it also seemed like it would never land.
The sense of space-time disorder and the inexplicable aura that was beyond the rules of power made Li Xiang feel extreme danger for the first time since he had advanced.
The cells in his body were trembling, responding to his power.
Li Xiang was not in a hurry. Instead, he patiently comprehended Bai Shili's punch. His punch clearly contained only his body, but why did it feel like it had crossed the sky and shattered the galaxy, as if it had traveled through the void and ten thousand worlds?
This was a fist intent that could only be possessed by someone who had comprehended the space-time law. In his impression, other than the eternal existences who had comprehended many of the universe's laws, the one who had comprehended the space-time law should be Yuge Sothoth. If this punch had come from Bai Lili, he could understand.
However, it had to be Bai Shili.
He had just said that everything about him had evolved into his body. That should have nurtured the truest power without any impurities …
Li Xiang frowned. He kept thinking and analyzing, trying to find an answer.
Bai Shili did not take the opportunity to attack. He maintained the same posture as if he had not changed for thousands of years. However, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.
The fundamental difference between Level-10 and Level-9 was the spirit. Level-9 did not have a spirit. Only when one reached the Five Monarch Realm could one condense a spirit prototype. Above Level-9, this prototype would be greatly perfected and would have the ability to leave the body. Ordinary Level-9 beings would not even be able to look directly at this spirit prototype. They would be assimilated by the power of the rules.
At Level-10, the spirit was already very complete. One only needed to complete the final step of fusing with the Heart of the World to completely become an eternal existence.
His punch came from his own spirit. It was a Divine Intent Punch, which was also an attack unique to Level-10 beings.
If Li Xiang could not comprehend anything from this punch, he might not be able to break through to Level-10 for a very long time. Once he did not reach Level-10, he would still find it difficult to fight against the protagonists even though he was currently the most powerful being above Level-9.
The gap between Level-10 and Level-9 might seem small, but in fact, it was like the difference between the sky and the earth. Even if one could not kill the other, the former could easily fight the latter.
Li Xiang had the authority of a Polar night player. He was the Origin of Darkness, a traveler from another universe, and even related to the legendary Creator of the Universe. However, he still could not directly face Level-10 beings.
This was the gap, the gap that had to be crossed!
"I understand now. This attack evolved from your Divine Soul. That's why it gave me the feeling that it contained the Laws of Space and Time. Your physical body has completely fused with all the other external objects, but your Divine Soul hasn't reached that level yet. Otherwise, you would have broken through the shackles and reached the same level as her!"
Li Xiang suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze was clear and transparent. He understood.
Bai Shili was stuck at the level where his spirit could absorb all external objects. He had completed the self-unification of his physical body. Therefore, he had advanced from Level-9 to Level-10. Most importantly, his spirit had not reached that level, so his combat power was not as good as Bai Lili's.
They were both at Level-10, but Bai Lili was only one step away from fusing with the Heart of the World, evolving history, and enriching herself. Then, she would be able to advance to the Eternal Existence Level.
Li Xiang, on the other hand, had just come into contact with the Soul Domain. Through the understanding of the Polar Night player form, he had formed his own Soul Prototype. In terms of application, he was still a little immature and was far from reaching the level of the others.
Bai Shili's punch was helping him understand the mysteries of the spirit realm, accelerating his cultivation, and pushing him toward Level-10.
This was very dangerous. If he was not careful, Li Xiang would die under this punch. Otherwise, he would not be able to understand the true essence of the Fist of Divine Will. He would be stuck at the door of the spirit realm for the rest of his life, unable to enter it.
To reach their level, they relied more on their own cultivation and understanding. Forcing it would have unimaginable side effects. However, as long as they could endure it, their cultivation would improve rapidly and save a lot of time.
Coincidentally, what Li Xiang lacked the most was time.
He slowly raised his right hand and moved his palm. Immediately, a strong wind blew around him. In an instant, with him as the center, it condensed into a terrifying storm.
Under the deterrence of Bai Shili's Fist of Divine Will, the magic particles around him had been absorbed and used. At this moment, Li Xiang's palm turned into another kind of power. He used the method of detention to gather the magic particles and force them to be used by him. The moment he attacked, the wind blew and the clouds moved. The power was monstrous.
When he raised his palm to the highest point, he suddenly turned and pressed down. The storm in the air suddenly gathered and turned into a dark golden storm cloud. It collided with the incoming Fist of Divine Will.
The dark golden cloud dissipated upon contact with the Fist of Divine Will. Bai Shili's fist did not stop. It continued to charge forward and was about to hit Li Xiang.
The wind and clouds suddenly changed. The sun dimmed, and the Polar night player form appeared. In the dim light, a slender silhouette covered in darkness stood in the air. It was so majestic and terrifying that it was impossible to look at it directly.
Baimiya forced her eyes open. She risked her eyes being burned and her mind being corrupted just to see Li Xiang's true appearance.
In her vision, streaks of dark golden light gathered on Li Xiang's body. His silhouette became solid and as deep as the starry sky. It was as if one would fall into it with a single glance and be unable to extricate themselves.
Her consciousness was blurring and collapsing. Her body seemed to be boiling uncontrollably. Baimiya was shocked. She did not expect that her mind would collapse and she would die just by looking at him with her naked eyes.
Maybe dying like this is not a bad thing … She thought as her consciousness gradually faded.
There were people screaming, howling, and crying around her. They were all suffering from the backlash of looking at Li Xiang in this state because they were too confident.
The Polar night player held the authority of countless dark sides. It was the upgraded form of the Dark Origin, one of the Trihara Pillar Gods. It was many times more terrifying than the Level 9 player's Mythical Creature form. Facing Li Xiang directly was equivalent to facing the complete form of Yug Sothoth. Even a Level 9 player could not withstand such immense pressure and had to deal with it wholeheartedly. Players of other levels would go crazy and die just by looking at him.
.....
Baimiya felt that she had a long and messy dream. In the dream, there were many people she had seen since she was young and the enemies she had killed over the years.
In the dream, she had been looking for a person. She searched frantically but could not find him.
Just as she was about to collapse, a gentle voice sounded from the depths of her mind. Something warm wrapped around her body, making her moan uncontrollably. She curled up her body, hoping to be hugged tighter.
"Since you're awake, don't continue to pretend to be asleep. This is not like the First She-Devil of the Bai Family." Li Xiang's voice seemed to come from the depths of her heart. It also seemed to come from all directions. It wrapped around her like warm water, making her feel at ease and comfortable. She did not want to wake up.
She curled up even more and hugged him tightly. She curled up in his arms and did not want to wake up.
Her nose was pinched, and it felt cold. Baimiya frowned. She could not breathe. She opened her mouth and something was stuffed into it.
"Mmm mmm mmm …"
Li Xiang took the spoon out of her mouth. The white porridge was eaten clean. Seeing that she could still eat, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Baimiya slowly opened her eyes. Her face suddenly turned red. She curled up in Li Xiang's arms like a child, hugging him and eating the porridge that he fed her. It was like a dream.
If it's a dream, don't wake up … She prayed, but then she heard his wicked laughter.
This guy …
"Let go of me … You have a family, you're cheating, you're cheating!" She pouted and struggled to get up. However, she was shocked to find that she could not summon any strength in her body.
Where are the magic particles? Why can't I feel them at all?
"I didn't do anything. You're the one who hugged me so tightly." Li Xiang teased her. Seeing the change in her expression, he quickly explained, "Don't worry, your body is still recovering. It's normal that you can't feel the magic particles."
How is this normal! What kind of injury can make someone unable to feel the magic particles! Bai Micha grumbled in his heart, but he didn't refute it with a grunt.
She remembered that before she lost consciousness, she was looking at Li Xiang in the sky, in the form of a Polar night player. Then, her mind collapsed.
"Right, right, how was the battle? Did you win? "she asked anxiously." Are you hurt? "
"Thanks to you, I didn't win." Li Xiang shrugged his shoulders and rolled his eyes at her. "Bai King's God's Will Punch was meant to give me a nirvanic rebirth. If nothing goes wrong, this punch will allow me to touch the threshold of the God's Soul Area. That way, I will have the possibility of reaching Level 10. However, a certain daring guy actually watched this battle with his naked eyes. He was crazy enough to want to see my Mythical Creature form. He almost went crazy. Fortunately, I sensed it in time, and we stopped at the same time. Otherwise, you would have been vaporized first. "
"I, I … I caused you to not be able to break through?" Baimiya's eyes dimmed. Although she did not understand many of the terms in his words, she understood that there was a possibility of advancing to Level 10.
Her face was pale. In the end, her willfulness had harmed him!
"It's okay, Mi Cha. Don't blame yourself." Li Xiang rarely called her name. His tone was relaxed. "I have to thank you. Originally, it was not bad to comprehend the Spirit Territory this way, but now, I feel that it is more meaningful and better to rely on my own ability to break through."
Bai Shili wanted him to quickly grow to the same level of combat power to deal with the final catastrophe. This was understandable, but other people's experiences were still other people's things. Referring to other people's experiences in the most important aspect would only restrict oneself.
After understanding this, Li Xiang was grateful to Baimiya. If it were not for her unexpected interference, he might have deviated from the true path.
