C217 Last Struggle
"Little Situ, I will skin you, tear apart your bones, eat your flesh, and drink your blood!" The black-clothed man cursed at the sky. At this moment, he could already feel the difference between this place and an ordinary illusion.
A normal illusion didn't have any attack power. Unless the owner was controlling the attack and he was sure that the owner had his own attack power, no illusionist would have the ability to react like this and counterattack the moment the illusion is attacked. This was tantamount to admitting that the illusion itself was a living being. It was unbelievable, or at least, the man in black didn't want to believe it.
Not only that, although the regular illusions had a special structure, they were definitely unable to withstand the full force of an expert of two ranks or higher. At the very least, the illusions would be shaken and then collapse from the inside after a series of attacks. But this illusion was the same as the one in front of him. He had used all of his strength to attack, but what he got instead was the illusion of not moving an inch. This was completely beyond the understanding of the black-clothed man.
Right now, he hated Gongsun Zaitian to the extreme. At the same time, he felt a deep sense of helplessness towards this young and shameless person. The most important thing was that this was also a shameless illusion. If you said that it had attacked him previously, he would have been able to counterattack. But now that he had fled, it kept on attacking him. Not only that, it had even been struck by lightning.
If it was thunder, then this black-clothed man would feel even more incredulous. He had already used all of his strength to dodge, but every time he was struck by a bolt of lightning, this black-clothed man would suspect that something on his body was special like thunder.
With the addition of Gongsun Ze Tian, the power of the formation had become even more formidable. The strength and number of attacks on the black clothed man had increased exponentially. However, the man in black was constantly suffering from the attacks and his strength was also increasing. This method of increasing his strength far exceeded the man in black's expectations.
The black clothed man had already realized that while this secret technique brought him unparalleled strength, it also had a lot of potential drawbacks. Relying on his body's endurance, even the black-clothed man wasn't sure just how much level of strength he could withstand.
However, it was too late for him to regret it now. He could not prevent his strength from increasing, nor could he prevent himself from being attacked. The black clothed man attributed the continuous increase in his strength to the fact that he was constantly being attacked. However, what he didn't know was that once this secret technique was used to the third level, it would continue to increase his power exponentially over time and would never stop.
Gongsun Ze Tian could also feel the changes in his opponent's body and skills. This was also the main reason why Gongsun Ze Tian was so confident. If Gongsun Ze Tian's power continued to grow, then his attack power would also become weaker and weaker. Even Gongsun Ze Tian thought that once Gongsun Ze's strength reached a certain level, his own attacks would only tickle Gongsun Ze Tian.
"F * ck, we can't continue like this. We have to finish him off as soon as possible!" Gongsun Ze Tian secretly made up his mind. He planned to finish the battle quickly. Originally, he had planned to easily deal with his opponent once the time limit for his secret technique had passed. But now, it seemed that the other party was only focused on increasing his strength, without any signs of slowing down in the slightest.
There was a fundamental difference between an uncontrolled formation and an artificially controlled formation. The array that no one controlled could only counterattack by instinct, and its attack power and lethality were also very limited. The enemy martial artists might be able to deal with them in minutes, but against a monster like the black-clothed man, it wouldn't be so simple.
Gongsun Zaitian began to control the array, and the scattered and disorderly attacks of the stars disappeared. However, before the man in black could rejoice, he felt an inexplicable pressure pressing towards him from all directions. At the same time, this pressure also contained a chilling murderous intent.
One must know that this kind of pressure wasn't the kind that a high level warrior would feel when facing a low level warrior, nor was it the kind of pressure formed by the world itself. It was a type of power produced by the evolution of the universe and the movement of the stars.
For example, if a person with a noble status did not get angry, he would show his might. This kind of pressure might only cause the person who bore it to lower their head slightly, but it did not create any sort of pressure in the person's heart. And the pressure between heaven and earth, just like when a person was close enough to feel an earthquake, volcano's eruption, tornado, tsunami, and thunder, they would have an inexplicable feeling of fear, and would even feel the urge to bow down and worship. This was the so-called world's pressure, and the deterrence that people emitted, in front of it, was no different than a joke.
The might generated by the vast universe was not something a person could imagine or even see with their own eyes. It was the evolution process of the stars in the universe, such as the impact of stars, the explosion of stars, the formation of black holes, the annihilation of the universe. This kind of power could only be produced in the universe.
And at this moment, Gongsun Ze Tian was merely using the 'False Circulatory Star Arena' to simulate the might produced in the universe. Although it couldn't be compared to the real might, it was still enough to make the black clothed man feel humiliated. At the same time, the might contained endless killing intent, which was unique to the 'Circulatory Star Arena'.
The black-clothed man felt as if his own shit was about to be scared out of him by this abnormally powerful aura. Luckily, he didn't drink much water, otherwise he would have peed his pants long ago. But even so, the man in black was already scared out of his wits. Right now, he only wanted to run; he didn't want to fight anymore. It would do him no good at all.
But how could Gongsun Zaitian let him off so easily? It was obviously impossible. The might of the attack had only been for the first round, it was just an appetizer.
At this moment, the formation's might didn't decrease in the slightest. At the same time, white specks of light began to appear in the sky, as if it was snowing. But the man in black felt the chrysanthemum tighten, because his senses told him that in this space, the temperature had dropped by at least 70 to 80 degrees and the air he breathed out was already covered in white mist.
What caused the black clothed man to crumble was that his clothes had already turned into cloth and disappeared in front of him when the petals of the cherry blossom 'Ling Chi' fell on him. He had been battling naked all this while, and since he had used several secret transformations and his body shapes were all different, he didn't care that he wasn't wearing any clothes.
But this time was different. In such a cold space, even a small blanket was good enough for him to wrap around. But the idea was wonderful, and reality was still as fucking cruel as ever. If everyone could defeat the cruelty of reality by relying on imagination, then the little girl who sold matches could not be frozen to death in the street. At least among those who froze to death, the black clothed person was not the first, nor was he the last.
Of course, there was no way for Gongsun Ztian to let his opponent enjoy the beauty of 'frozen to death'. To the black-clothed man, this was simply a 'luxury' existence.
"Ahh ?" A few consecutive miserable cries later, 'Snowflake' heavily pierced the man in black's body. However, his wounds were covered in a thick layer of ice and blood that didn't splash out as expected.
The coldness of the ice crystal was far less than that of normal ice and snow. Once the ice crystal covered the wound, it immediately froze over. Because of the extreme cold, the wound actually lost the ability to heal for a while. This frightened the man in black. He had been able to survive until now thanks to his abnormal recovery ability.
Although it could not be said that he had eaten more salt than Gongsun Zaitian, but at the moment, he still had a way to deal with it. While dodging the snowflakes that fell from the sky, he hammered his own wound as hard as he could as he wanted to shatter the ice crystal in order to let the wound heal. This way, he might be able to rely on this abnormal ability to preserve his own life.
However, this scene of self-mutilation was something that even Gongsun Zaitian could not bear to watch. No matter how he looked at it, the few times he had been beaten up earlier were just too light. However, Gongsun Zaitian did not realize that the culprit was himself.
Since there was ice and fire, how could there be no fire? The snowflakes did not decrease in size, and a fireball appeared in the sky with a reddish-black 'tail', directly smashing down. Although the fireball was not large, the heat from its flame was far beyond the black-clothed man's expectations.
How was this a fireball? This was simply a shower of magma! Furthermore, when the flames landed on the ground, they would be able to incinerate a large area of the ground. The amount of time it took to burn a piece of ground would not even exceed a second.
When this fireball landed on the black clothed man's body, it truly took his life. Only when it burned to the bone could he endure the pain and let the burnt wounds' welcome 'the snowflakes in the sky, and then use his fist to turn the ice crystal into nothingness. Only then could he use his abnormal healing ability to recover.
The Ice and Fire Tri-Layered Heavens did not stop its attacks, but the star power that had disappeared for a long time came back to join in the fun. This time, the star power that appeared was not as brainless as the previous one, and it even clashed with the man in black for a long time.
There were not many stars appearing again, only one star appeared not far away from the man in black. However, it was obvious that this star had a different attacking method. Just as the black-clothed man was alert of the sudden attacks from the stars, the star actually exploded right in front of him. It was extremely powerful, even creating a shockwave.
The black clothed man, who did not know the power of the shockwave, was directly sent flying far away and heavily crashed on the ground. The snowflakes and lava from the explosion seemed to have no money as they followed the shockwave and crashed into it without being pulled down at all. It seemed as if someone had broken a pot of fire and then splashed a bucket of ice on him.
