Chapter 384 - 379: Void Mirror: Linyou, Wild Thunder Arrow
WHOOSH.
Nether Mirror held the black mirror.
He aimed its smooth, pitch-black surface at Su Ye!
"Void Mirror: Ling You."
Nether Mirror whispered to himself.
HUM!
A faint light rippled across the mirror’s surface, like a crystalline arc glowing in the darkness. This arc within the black mirror twisted and spun, forming a vortex!
The world before Su Ye’s eyes suddenly went black!
In a brief instant, his surroundings changed dramatically!
Beneath his feet, a deep, pitch-black, star-filled sky materialized. Within it, a massive vortex, like a galaxy, slowly spun!
"Welcome to my world," a calm voice, certain of victory, rang out.
Amidst the darkness, a throne of shadows emerged. Seated upon it was Nether Mirror, dressed in what looked like a pitch-black tailcoat, appearing like a vampiric Duke!
[Void Mirror: Ling You]
Using the power of the Divine Artifact’s projection to forcibly drag a target into the Netherworld!
And now,
having been dragged into the Netherworld, the situation had suddenly become extremely disadvantageous for Su Ye!
First, this domain controlled by Nether Mirror was a separate dimension. Trapped here, Su Ye’s connection to the Water-elemental spiritual qi in his divine kingdom was naturally severed.
Without the enhancement from the overflowing Water-elemental spiritual qi of his divine kingdom, Su Ye’s combat power plummeted. The surging, dark blue vortex around him now showed signs of being an empty shell, strong on the outside but weak on the inside!
In all things, cultivation realm comes first.
His Crystallization-level cultivation was simply not enough for a battle of this caliber!
To make matters worse,
in this Netherworld, Nether Mirror, as the lord of the domain, was greatly strengthened. His every move was empowered by the domain itself!
Just then, with an indifferent expression, Nether Mirror’s divine sense stirred.
Behind him, dozens of black specks, like motes of dust, suddenly appeared.
These specks then rapidly expanded, becoming as large as cannon muzzles in a mere instant!
BOOM!
Dark Light Cannons, filled with an aura of annihilation, shot out from them!
They blotted out the sky!
Su Ye’s pupils contracted. His figure blurred into a dark blue afterimage, strafing to the right to dodge the light cannons!
But in the Netherworld, these Dark Light Cannons could, to a certain extent, ignore the rules.
Thus, after Su Ye dodged, the cannons stopped abruptly, made a sharp turn, and pursued him, ruthlessly slamming into his back!
POW!
Spiritual light exploded!
Inside the Netherworld, the intensity of Nether Mirror’s attacks had also clearly increased!
This barrage nearly shattered the Erosion Stream Battle Armor on Su Ye’s back. The remaining force of the Dark Light Cannons struck his flesh and blood!
BOOM!
Shredded flesh and bone fragments flew everywhere!
His half-carbonized spine was exposed!
However, in his Divine Blood rampage, such a grievous injury only served to unleash Su Ye’s savagery!
Murderous intent surged in his icy-silver eyes. The Divine Blood flowed, healing his wounds and reforming his battle armor!
Then,
he stomped his feet, creating a muffled explosion!
His figure shot out like an arrow loosed from a bow. With his fists flashing dark blue, he threw a vicious punch at Nether Mirror on the throne of shadows!
Nether Mirror’s expression was cold.
Dark Light Cannons howled forth, but just then, Su Ye’s qi and blood surged. He pushed his physical body to its limits, his speed suddenly increasing by thirty percent!
He broke through the network of Dark Light Cannon fire in an instant!
Of course, this was not without a price. The Erosion Stream Battle Armor shattered again, covered in countless cracks!
Even the faceplate of Su Ye’s battle armor was half-destroyed, revealing his handsome, demonic face, stained with blood!
But even so...
he kept pressing...
forward!
BOOM!
Su Ye’s punch landed with an explosive CRACK, right on Nether Mirror’s face!
Unexpectedly, both Nether Mirror and his throne of shadows dissipated within the Netherworld!
However,
seeing Nether Mirror’s form dissolve,
Su Ye did not relax. In his perception, the unsettling, heavy aura that permeated this space still remained!
Sure enough, a moment later, a voice rang out.
"A decent attack."
"A pity it was all for naught."
Not far away,
Nether Mirror’s figure reappeared.
He was perfectly composed, leaning back on his throne of shadows and watching Su Ye!
...
「In the real world.」
Nether Mirror stood in place, his gold and white robes draped around him.
In his hand, a simple, ancient black mirror floated, its surface reflecting a scene.
Visible within it was the image of Su Ye’s battle!
His true body had been in the real world all along. Clearly, the ’Nether Mirror’ inside the Netherworld was nothing more than one of his avatars!
Uh... an avatar of an avatar?
Or perhaps, calling it a projection would be more fitting!
Nether Mirror controlled the projection to fight Su Ye.
When Su Ye destroyed a projection, he would simply tap his finger and send another one into the mirror!
In this way, he steadily and unhurriedly wore down his opponent’s stamina!
’Even for Sea Successor Deities, regeneration has its limits!’
’Besides... after being dragged into the Netherworld, you’re cut off from the outside world. With no spiritual qi to replenish your energy, how long can you last on a single Old God Heart Core?’
Nether Mirror smiled, his eyes filled with mockery as he gazed at the black mirror’s surface!
After unleashing his Divine Artifact’s projection and activating [Void Mirror: Ling You], he was already in an invincible position!
The scales of victory were tipping in his favor, slowly but surely.
...
「In the Netherworld.」
By now, Su Ye had already destroyed the ninth Nether Mirror projection!
In the process, he had accumulated six more wounds so deep that bone was visible, bleeding profusely!
His Divine Blood, thick as mercury, surged to regenerate his wounds, but it was clear that his healing speed was much slower than before!
But at the same time, the tenth projection emerged from the void!
Your power is almost exhausted!
My projections are endless!
[Void Mirror: Ling You]
Was this ability truly unbeatable?!
"Not necessarily,"
Nether Mirror muttered to himself.
He knew very well that no ability was truly unbeatable.
"It’s just that, for you, this ability might as well be."
Nether Mirror chuckled.
At the same time, he sensed the tenth projection being torn apart by Su Ye.
With a calm expression, he flicked his finger, sending the eleventh projection into the Netherworld.
However,
at that very instant!
HUM!
「In the real world.」
The vortex of clouds in the sky began to spin rapidly!
An intensely blinding white light flared, seeming to bleach the entire world in its brilliance!
The look of assured victory on Nether Mirror’s face froze. His expression turned deathly pale as he exclaimed, "How is that possible..."
Before he could finish his words!
A bolt of lightning like a waterfall—a terrifyingly wild arrow of electricity—descended from above and struck Nether Mirror!
His body instantly went rigid!
A few seconds later!
RUUUUMBLE!!!!
An earth-shattering clap of thunder echoed!
At the same time,
CRACK.
The sound of space shattering rang out. The star-filled Netherworld space violently broke apart!
It shattered into tens of thousands of mirror-like fragments, scattering in all directions. The sight was magnificent!
Shatter, space!
