I Truly Am The Villian - Chapter 2273
Chapter 2273: Chapter 2272: Fusion of Numerous Spells, Prolonged Battle Without Victory
Soul Fixed Curse, Rebirth Mantra.
Two curses sounded simultaneously, one fixing the divine soul, the other restraining the physical body.
It can be said that these are two major trump cards, making it impossible for people to guard against.
Seeing Xu Zimei being immobilized, the voice of the Lord of the Dead Spirits penetrated layers of black mist.
The voice was ethereal yet vast, saying: “Demon Lord, if you admit defeat, I can let you go.”
“Between you and me, this is just a spar, there’s no need for a life-and-death struggle.”
The Lord of the Dead Spirits knew that Xu Zimei could definitely hear what he was saying.
Even though he was currently immobilized, there was no way he could be so weak as to let others manipulate him.
Indeed, the next moment Xu Zimei’s laughter rang out.
“Dead Spirits Taoist Friend, we haven’t truly started fighting yet, and you want me to admit defeat, that would be too weak.”
“Your divine soul and physical body are already bound by me; even with the ability to pierce the heavens, you are unlikely to be my opponent.
Why deceive yourself,” the Lord of the Dead Spirits said indifferently.
“Look carefully, which divine soul have you bound?” Xu Zimei’s voice echoed.
The Lord of the Dead Spirits was startled, and before he could react.
Three Xu Zimeis appeared in the void.
Three figures emerged from one body.
The present, past, and future.
This was the technique Xu Zimei comprehended during the Three Corpses Realm.
But the Lord of the Dead Spirits still frowned.
He knew about dividing into three corpses.
However, the power of the three corpses is mostly borrowed power, not transforming one’s body into three corpses.
This kind of thing is unheard of.
It was as if the Lord of the Dead Spirits bound the present Xu Zimei.
But the future and past Xu Zimei were completely unaffected.
The three corpses form one entity; as long as any one of them is free, then the whole is free.
“Your fighting style is really quite unappealing!”
Xu Zimei said.
Power surged in his hand, amidst the gleam of blade and shadow of sword, Tyrant Shadow had already appeared in his hand.
At that moment, three Xu Zimeis simultaneously drew their blades, roaring towards the firmament and slashing at the vast black mist.
The power of these three Xu Zimeis was truly astonishing.
He summarized and fused the power from the past, while fantasizing and simulating the power of the future.
At this moment, even though the black mist enveloped everything, it could not conceal the explosive power of the three Tyrant Shadows simultaneously.
When Tyrant Shadow fell, stirring the boundless black mist.
Xu Zimei’s eyes also searched the void for the figure of the Lord of the Dead Spirits.
The other party used curses as a vessel.
Proving that the Lord of the Dead Spirits himself was not strong.
After all, no matter how strong the yin energy is, if yin and yang are not harmonious, it can never become complete power.
With gain, there is loss.
“Found it!”
Xu Zimei’s eyesight was sharp. Originally obscured by the black mist, now that the mist had dissipated, he immediately discovered the figure of the Lord of the Dead Spirits.
The opponent still sat cross-legged, forming seals with his hands.
“Mist Flower Curse!”
Suddenly, the black mist gathered again, each blooming like a black lotus.
At this moment, between heaven and earth, thousands of flowers bloomed.
Everything was lost in dazzling confusion.
But Xu Zimei’s Daoist heart was firm, remaining unaffected by illusions.
He feigned a dazed look in his eyes to deceive the Lord of the Dead Spirits, while actually always waiting for the right moment.
With a loud “boom”.
Capturing the opportunity, the three Xu Zimeis merged into one.
The power of ten million Great Daos erupted in full.
At this moment, Xu Zimei resembled a cannonball, leaping directly from the sky to confront the Lord of the Dead Spirits.
And in his hand, Tyrant Shadow was akin to the blade piercing the heavens.
The blade intent looked like the galaxy of the Nine Heavens.
Amidst the mournful roar, it fell directly.
The Lord of the Dead Spirits was not flustered; with a pinch of the right hand, he recited a law decree.
Gently waving his right sleeve.
Suddenly, the surrounding black mist evolved, transforming into a realm.
This realm Xu Zimei had just seen.
It was then collected by the Lord of the Dead Spirits.
When Xu Zimei’s attack fell, the Lord of the Dead Spirits was not affected.
Because the realm he materialized neutralized the strike.
“Surrender peacefully, your lone power, how can it compete with an entire world.”
The Lord of the Dead Spirits said indifferently.
At this moment, he appeared as if wielding the power of a realm upon himself, although this realm was merely yin energy within the mortal world.
But it can still be considered a pseudo-world.
With a loud “boom”.
As the Lord of the Dead Spirits raised his hand for a palm strike, everyone within the mortal world of yin energy also raised their hands.
The Lord of the Dead Spirits’ every move invisibly influenced every person in this world.
Xu Zimei looked at the palm coming directly at him.
Appearing to be a casual palm strike, yet invisibly representing the power of countless people.
With a loud “boom”.
He waved his blade to strike again.
The large palm clashed with him.
Despite Xu Zimei being at a disadvantage, the Lord of the Dead Spirits could not suppress or defeat him.
Such is the nature of battles between strong opponents.
It is impossible to end in a single breath or in just a few rounds.
Just like the True Martial Great Emperor’s Heaven Challenge epic battle, which has still not ended.
The fight between Xu Zimei and the Lord of the Dead Spirits is also not one that will end easily or simply.
……
At this moment, the two engaged in an intense battle.
Thankfully, this was deep within the Netherworld Realm, unaffected by the world created by the black mist.
Otherwise, the entire Netherworld Realm would fall.
Each move, every strike shattered the black mist, the cosmos erupting.
In this way, they battled incessantly for a whole month.
Lines of battle nearly unimaginable in duration.
Both exhausted their techniques.
Xu Zimei unleashed all ten Divine Methods and even the Demonic Ten Skills.
Yet still could not overcome the Lord of the Dead Spirits.
While the Lord of the Dead Spirits’ world evolved all kinds of abstruse things, deploying various techniques, he still couldn’t best Xu Zimei.
They seemed evenly matched.
But the true contest was of endurance and foundation.
During the fight, not only Xu Zimei’s comprehension of the Great Dao continually ascended.
His understanding of his techniques grew increasingly profound and refined.
The essence of battle lies in identifying missed elements and examining oneself.
This constitutes the significance of battle.
If one only engages in mindless fighting, then after the battle, there will be no gains, merely a waste of time.
……
At this moment, Xu Zimei attained a new understanding of the fusion of the Demonic Ten Skills and the Ten Divine Methods.
Previously, he had envisioned a scenario.
Could the ten Divine Methods be fused into one?
For example, the Swastika and the Finger of Heaven-Swallowing Creation.
If the Finger of Heaven-Swallowing Creation were to inscribe the Swastika upon it, could its power bear the enhancement of two kinds of divine techniques?
Now, besides fusing the ten Divine Methods, Xu Zimei wanted to combine the Demonic Ten Skills with divine methods.
With this in mind, Xu Zimei began experimenting.
And the Lord of the Dead Spirits was the ideal subject for experimentation.
