Chapter 1948 - 1495–1496: The Trap Awaits You! Suicide! Suicide! Suicide! (Monthly Ticket Requested)
"Warning! A systemic error has occurred. Repair in progress. To ensure the safety of your life, you are now being forcibly logged off!"
Over a million Black Wind Village Players received the warning message on their interface at the same time.
Yet before many had even seen the details clearly, they were already forcibly logged off one after another; their Will was forcibly stripped from their Body and expelled from the Mixed Martial Arts World, while their Bodies stayed rigidly preserved inside the Mixed Martial Arts World.
A faint thread of Earth Intent then flowed within the Players’ brain, temporarily acting as the Will inside their Bodies, allowing all bodily functions to keep operating normally, so that the heart would not stop and the brain would not die just because the Players’ Will had vanished, leaving the Body completely dead.
This special State, where after a forced logoff the Body does not turn into light and disintegrate into particles, but instead remains in place, is precisely the State of the Players’ flesh being left behind after they are forcibly logged off. The former Jiang Dali may not have understood the underlying principle at all, but now he can absolutely see that all of this is the mischief of the Earth Intent.
Including the fact that after Players die, they can still be resurrected—this is because their Will has always been under the protection of the Earth Intent and is hard to be extinguished, while the Body, fundamentally speaking, is nothing but a composition of particles in the material world.
When Players entered this world, their Bodies had already been invaded by Earth Intent down to every single cell.
Thus even upon death, their Bodies would under the State of Earth Intent be broken apart and vanish into a particle State; at nearby City God Temples and other locations infused with Earth Intent, the Body would be reassembled from particles infused with Earth Intent, then their undestroyed Will would be reinjected, and they would be resurrected.
From this, a question naturally arises: in this way, does not every Player’s body harbor remnants of Earth Intent within?
And what about Jiang Dali, who likewise possesses the Player template and can be resurrected?
...
"Boom!"
The thick Earth Intent beam, like a golden bolt of lightning, struck the Jiang Dali who was charging straight down in an instant.
𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
The entire sea surface flared with a blinding Golden Light, vast swathes of seawater were shattered into a dispersed State, and a massive power of Will engulfed Jiang Dali’s Body at once; his Body slammed into the sea, throwing up an enormous plume of water.
Yet in the next moment, the sea surface shrouded in dazzling Golden Light began to churn violently.
A colossal figure clad in a body wreathed with black-gold patterns burst out, shooting forth and brutishly crashing right up to the Earth Crystal Core, his Momentum not only undiminished but surging as he hurled out two fists and one slash.
"Bang–crack!!"
A roar like a giant millstone exploding spread through the seawater.
The Earth Crystal Core was simultaneously struck by the two fists Jiang Dali unleashed and the Illusion Soul Slash; the tremendous Energy impact split open the hard outer shell that even a First-class Divine Weapon could not shake, and a spray of blue blood burst out.
The Four Great Family Heads were completely dumbfounded; their Will was almost scattered by the fierce Will power contained in this onslaught, and if not for the protection of Earth Intent, they would all have perished in the very first instant.
Though they had all guarded against Jiang Dali still hiding a stronger power that had yet to erupt, they had not anticipated that this sudden surge in strength would be so ferocious, so fast that they were hit before they could even react.
Seeing Jiang Dali, his aura raging all over, once more pressing the attack.
The Four Great Family Heads immediately again condensed an Earth Will Destruction Beam, while at the same time continuing to forcibly log off the second and third batches of Black Wind Village Players and Eight Desolates Disciples.
Blazing beams of Will radiance crashed and rampaged through the seawater again and again.
Jiang Dali sometimes used Illusion Soul to transform giant fists to block, sometimes dodged, rapidly closing in.
Although the Qi Fortune Power within him was continuously plummeting, he very quickly entered the States of Destruction, Life-and-Death, and Li Wuqiong, his combat strength rising without cease.
So that with such one rise and one fall, his strength hardly changed at all; wherever they clashed, the seawater was churned by ferocious Fist Power like a tsunami, and countless marine creatures were either shredded into meat paste, or, at the instant they were struck by the Earth Will Destruction Beam, directly dissolved into a particle State and disappeared.
Half a kè later.
The duel between the two had already, just as Jiang Dali wished, gone from the depths of the sea up to the surface.
Outside, the wind and water magnetic fields were already in chaos; on the sea surface, rain poured in torrents, the sky was packed with dark Clouds, thunder rumbled and lightning flashed, and after each bolt of thunder swept past, vast sheets of rain would surge like colossal waterfalls, rolling down to cover the sky and earth, as if white-flooded deluges were boiling and crashing down from the heavens.
Jiang Dali stood like a solitary peak; though his whole Body was Chi Jing, his Momentum was still terrifying, far from giving any sense of absurdity. Instead, that Demon God-like Body mottled in black, gold, and white gave people a chilling sense of spatial shudder.
His eyes were pitch-black, sharp edges exposed, like a treasured Divine Weapon blade; his Will condensed, confronting the Earth Crystal Core in midair that was exuding waves of oppressive force, its whole form wreathed in filaments of flickering Extreme Light.
Thunderbolts raced through the long sky, and above the sea the heavens were dim and the waters dark.
The intense oppressive aura brewing between these two ultra-powerful existences was such that both the torrential rain that poured down and the surging seawaves, upon reaching the hundred-zhang range around them, gradually calmed.
As if two astounding pressure fields had formed two spheres of fifty-zhang Fang Yuan around each of them, colliding and pressing between the two, and with the slightest break in their balance, it would be a Shattering the Sky situation.
...
"Brother Jiang... could it be you know my current predicament? These past days of successive great battles have indeed helped me create quite a few opportunities. Only, given your temperament, you never dither and nag—this time, are you going to get serious?"
Within the Sky, outside the Twisted Land.
Zhu Wushi’s figure appeared like a ghost, his face expressionless as he stared at the situation within the Twisted Land, his Qi Mechanism sensing from afar the mighty Qi Mechanisms of Jiang Dali and the Earth Crystal Core outside the Sky.
