Chapter 1221: The Qualification for Void Sacrifice!
In response to my provocation, Night Hades did not exhibit much emotional fluctuation. After all, since the moment he appeared, his goal was to provoke my emotions, so it was impossible for him to become emotionally unstable because of a few of my words.
The battle began as soon as the conversation ended.
The Heavenly Tribulation Blade Edge Night Hades, whose title is also known as “Master of Ten Thousand Weapons”.
As the “Human Race,” which has always maintained an ordinary stance in the hierarchy of the Void Entities, even though he is a “Blade Edge Human,” having opened up a unique “human talent,” he still cannot escape the dependence on weapons.
In the Void, it is equipment that reigns supreme.
Essentially, it is combat strength that reigns supreme.
Because equipment is the easiest source of power to acquire, it is also the most compatible “combat power plugin” to make up for one’s deficiencies.
The Human Race, due to its inherently mediocre traits, is weaker than the beast races and other races, so it should strive unceasingly to acquire any power that can enhance itself.
Master of Ten Thousand Weapons.
This title vividly captures the methods of Heavenly Tribulation Blade Edge Night Hades.
In a flash, he manipulates hundreds or even thousands of weapon blades with near precision!
However, not all of these weapons are complete sacred artifacts.
Yet… such an abundance of “pseudo sacred artifacts” combined to create a “combined sacred artifact” with power far exceeding that of ordinary sacred artifacts!
In an instant, everyone witnessed a massive firefight unfold.
On one side was the Universal Spell Shelf.
On the other side was the Heavenly Tribulation Armory.
The clash between magic and sacred artifacts collided at this moment, as countless magic effects and the offensive thrust of sharp weapons constantly intermingled.
For a moment, they had fallen into a stalemate with no victor in sight.
After all, one side was magic effects, and under the field order, the explosive power was terrifying.
The other side was sacred artifacts, and once wielded, the field order derived from solid weaponry allowed a pseudo sacred artifact to withstand dozens, even hundreds of magic effects.
But even so, Night Hades’ expression remained heavy.
Although it seemed that he had the upper hand, it was his weapon’s foundation that he was consuming, while the opponent was merely expending magic power!
His combined sacred artifact was completed under a world system with extremely mature forging techniques.
The Heavenly Tribulation Armory.
This is his equipment.
Or rather, this is a “God-slaying Artifact” that failed to be forged; it has the unique properties of both extraordinary items and sacred artifacts, shaping his remarkable style of combat.
He could acquire as many components of sacred artifacts as he wanted, as those destroyed by spells, with the core point being the weapon itself, the “Heavenly Tribulation Armory”!
“Is this really your only method?” Faced with his initial words and current performance, it would be a lie to say I was not disappointed.
From our initial encounter, I could already perceive the source of his reliance.
That peculiar “sacred artifact” that seemed almost integrated with his body was something I had never seen before; it formed a wondrous symbiotic balance with his physique.
It made me think of those wizards who use their own bodies as experimental materials.
Though they did share some similarities, given they are all part of the Human Race, where individuals strive for power through any means possible due to their innate mediocrity, the wizarding community I have seen is among the most crazed groups within the Human Race.
I didn’t waste any more words and directly activated the Field of Vision!
With no embellishments, it was just a basic visual denial, instantly revealing a momentary flaw in him.
“I see, this power comes from the visual sense! You’ve denied my vision! But… it’s useless!”
Heavenly Tribulation Blade Edge Night Hades displayed his formidable battle prowess, as well as the composure typical of an elite in the Void.
Even with the loss of vision, it only granted me a slight advantage.
But… so what?
The training I did not achieve under Wuxiang Traveler Morse, I could also accomplish in our confrontation.
This is not a delusion.
Though he lost his vision, it did impact his ability to wield the Heavenly Tribulation Armory, but the effect was minimal.
After all, the stronger the being in the Void, the more they focus on mental power.
Mental power is certainly the most mainstream concept in the Void.
Even body cultivation and blood refining rely on intention and mental power to assist in achieving more powerful and precise martial techniques.
Time passed slowly.
The Field of Vision gradually transformed into a compound domain.
The second born of the five senses’ field order was “Touch”!
The sensation of touch is not simply touching, but any feedback from the body!
For those who cannot absolutely control their own bodies, denying the sense of touch feels as though their whole body has gone numb, or worse, being denied the sense of touch means they feel like they are operating a perfectly healthy individual without limbs.
They could watch their hand move under their control, yet their sensory feedback would feel as if they had no limbs at all.
Even more despairing, Heavenly Tribulation Blade Edge Night Hades had previously been denied his vision!
The dual denial of vision and touch instantaneously forced Night Hades into a passive state, and I struck with unwavering confidence to deliver a fatal blow.
However… Heavenly Tribulation Blade Edge Night Hades did not die.
He even displayed remarkable willpower to quickly mitigate the shortcomings of his lost vision and touch in another way.
“Have you fallen to such a disadvantage and still refuse to admit defeat?”
“Should I be thankful for your mercy? I suppose it’s because we are both part of the Human Race…”
Before Heavenly Tribulation Blade Edge Night Hades could finish his words, I proved him wrong with decisive action.
With a loud “crack—!”, my rusty blade severed his body.
“Why the eagerness to kill me? Did my words touch upon a painful truth you refuse to face?”
Heavenly Tribulation Blade Edge Night Hades still did not die, seemingly connected to that “special sacred artifact” he coexists with.
This left me quite surprised, as even I could not discern what kind of power was contained within that artifact.
Clearly a weapon brimming with assassinations, yet it could bind his very life to itself.
This was incredibly bizarre.
Moreover… I also sensed the aura of [Extraordinary Knowledge].
Could it be another God-slaying Artifact?
No! This doesn’t seem to fit the description of a God-slaying Artifact.
“Boring verbal provocation, but the disgust is genuinely disgusting.” I swung my blade, directly tearing a terrifying Void Rift!
Unlike the void manipulation, which tore rifts using the coexistent phenomena of totems, after my initial attempt at mutual consumption with the Void, the ability to tear the Void Rift became much more controllable.
I initially wanted to use this technique against Wuxiang Traveler Morse, but his “superb” performance changed my combat rhythm and thoughts.
Yet when facing this Night Hades,
I just wanted to crush him quickly.
It was clear he was a staunch human ethnocentrist, and indeed had a set method of disgust.
I admit, witches and humans are almost indistinguishable; in the life sequence, witches and humanoid races also fall under a significant classification.
My slash startled him instantly.
After all… this was a slash that created a Void Rift!
One should understand that the existence of a Void Rift cannot simply be torn apart by sheer strength.
Even if the power is unbelievably strong, it cannot shake the Void itself.
Just as I, using infinite magic power, cannot tear a Void Rift simply by relying on extremely concentrated magic.
But once my wielded power crossed a certain threshold, I could open a Void Rift without needing excessive power.
Previously, I labeled [Extraordinary Knowledge] as the key to opening the essence of the Void, yet as my insights expand, I find that [Extraordinary Knowledge] is not the only key.
Instead, all powers that have crossed that threshold are keys to opening the Void!
Moreover, different keys open the Void, presenting varied essences.
Just as my infinite magic power opens the Void, it shapes “infinite” magic based on my being as a witch.
I analyzed the Void using infinite growth based on my Perfect Being Physique, creating “infinite” growth.
The Great Spellbook, using [Extraordinary Knowledge] and its traits, opened the Void Rift, shaping a specific spell effect of “permanent existence (infinite)”.
“Even so, the Void Rift cannot completely kill me.”
“That may not be the case.”
I sneered, speaking up.
The Void Rift itself indeed cannot kill many, it has some deterrent effects on the extraordinary, but for those in the Holy Realm, it is basically futile; after all, the Void Rift can still be isolated by field orders, etc.
When I forged the Great Spellbook and incorporated the Void Rift, I utilized the properties of order to guide the Void Rift to complete the shaping of the Great Spellbook.
However… that does not mean that the Void Rift is not terrifying.
Not long ago, I had experienced the horror of the Void Rift.
That is, the Void Sacrifice!
The terror of the Void Rift lies not in the “rift,” but in the “Void”!
The Void is the foundation of the Void Rift; the rift is merely a form of its expression.
I gazed at the rift in the Void gradually healing.
Earlier, I was attempting a special form of Void Sacrifice, but it failed. Suffice it to say, the prerequisites for a Void Sacrifice are far too stringent, so to regard it as a conventional method still requires some maturity.
But I have ample opportunities to try slowly!
As I watched the Void Rift finally close, I felt a special sensation, as if… the Void was calling.
“Do you think I cannot kill you?”
“Oh? Have you found the method to counter me?” Heavenly Tribulation Blade Edge, Night Hades, seemed quite confident about this.
“Perhaps.”
I did not make a definitive statement; to deal with such unknown methods, besides using Void Sacrifice to make him sacrifice himself to wrestle with the Void, I had other strategies.
For example… perfecting the remaining three aspects of the Perfect Being Five Senses’ field order to achieve “sensory sealing” that denies all of his five senses.
Killing someone does not necessarily mean truly killing them, it can also involve letting them experience a state of being dead in another way.
The second method involves damaging his sensory capabilities, disorienting his bodily instincts, causing a rejection reaction between his body and that sacred artifact.
The third is more complex, utilizing his inability to resist the emotions and desires of a perfect being, inducing suicidal thoughts, leading him to kill himself.
As for weathering and aging, these are perhaps not applicable to someone like him who coexists with a special sacred artifact; this cannot be helped, as field orders related to the sense of time have threatened many. The talented individuals reappearing undoubtedly possess some response strategies.
As for the fourth method, it necessitates utilizing the Great Spellbook—Great Ordinary Spell; ordinary power can target not only life but also other concepts, such as… ordinary equipment capabilities.
After all, equipment is something artificially crafted and forged, and its essence is a carrier of power!
Thus, the Great Ordinary Spell can also target sacred artifacts.
Although I have many methods to address these issues, I still chose the most challenging path.
Delving into Void Rifts and Void Sacrifice!
And I continued to wait for such an opportunity.
An opportunity to capture Night Hades all at once!
After stopping the bombardment of the Universal Spell Shelf, the Heavenly Tribulation Armory completely displayed an overwhelming stance.
Faced with such a plethora of weapons, I felt it necessary to make him feel some pain.
Swish—!
In the silent Void, it seemed as if a sound of tearing erupted, the void’s backside expanding along a narrow pattern.
It was like drawing back the curtain.
Soon after, the Heavenly Tribulation blades within the Void Rift were completely shattered!
Night Hades watched as his pupils trembled.
This could not possibly be the power of the Void Rift! There had to be some other means employed!
If the Void is compared to an ocean, then a Void Rift is like a whirlpool deep in the seabed, with field orders akin to commanded giant waves. If the field order is powerful enough, it can prevent the Void Rift from harming oneself.
“I see now…”
Amidst the fragments, a voice emerged; even if Night Hades did not want to hear it, he had to exert all his mental energy.
“Miss Yang Yuelan, what excellent means! The Void Rift is not something to be trifled with; one slip can lead to self-harm.”
“Can I take from this that… you fear the Void Rift? You are unfamiliar with it, so instinctively harbor fear of the unknown…”
My voice echoed from that Void Rift before vanishing in the next moment.
When Night Hades heard it again, it was already behind him!
Behind him, another Void Rift tore open, and a figure emerged.
Void Transfer!
Ignoring material space, this is a short-distance transfer method based on and utilizing the Void itself!
“Die.”
My tone was flat, yet filled with murderous intent.
In the next moment, Night Hades felt a curtain of Void tearing open on his body.
A force working in harmony with the entire Void firmly restrained his body.
Void Sacrifice!
This is what I have come to understand: the Void Rift itself is divided into many “types.”
The Void possesses many characteristics akin to “infinity” and “self-circulation.”
And the cut I just attempted allowed me to discern the “spatial” characteristics of the Void Rift, so I integrated the “spatial jump” attempt, which proved… successful.
And now, at the moment I completed the sacrifice, I also understood another fact:
Void Sacrifice also has standards, and Heavenly Tribulation Blade Edge Night Hades, this fellow who merges with the special sacred artifact, just happens to fit the qualification to be sacrificed!
