Chapter 1434: An Invincible Enemy |
"Crunch!"
Gu Man's Personal Prison was shattered by Baburu's axe with a single strike!
But at a Delta's level, being able to block one attack from a Black Chariot-level opponent was already enough to be proud of!
This brief window of time allowed Gao Changkong to rush forward and block Baburu's next attack.
"What are you still doing here? Get out!"
Gao Changkong said to Gu Man in a deep voice.
Of the brothers he had brought out of the Jiangnan Region, there were hardly any left under his command now.
Compared to Zhang Yi and Lancelot, his subordinates were pitifully few.
It wasn't that he didn't want to replenish his forces, but being stuck in Bharata, even if he gathered new subordinates, he couldn't cultivate enough loyalty in a short time.
If anything happened to Gu Man too, he would truly become a lone man with no one left.
But Gu Man said to Gao Changkong, "You can't take him alone! I have to help you figure out his abilities."
"Now I can basically determine that his second ability is Spatial Displacement!"
"He can swap the positions of objects, including superhumans, within the palace's range. But there's a time interval between each use. From when he killed Chen Xiaozheng to when he tried to kill me, there was a five-second gap."
After a period of fighting and the sacrifice of Chen Xiaozheng, Gao Changkong's trio had figured out Baburu's two abilities.
Like Zhang Yi, he was one of those extremely rare time- and space-attribute dual superhumans.
His spatial abilities, besides the Void Exile that scattered Zhang Yi and the others to various areas of the Holy Spirit Hall, also included the ability to distort space to a certain extent, making it impossible for them to find the exit.
Additionally, there was the Spatial Displacement used during combat to swap the positions of objects within a certain range.
His time ability was Reverse Time Flow, which allowed him to revert his own state to what it was one minute ago.
Similar to Zhang Yi, his attack power might not be particularly outstanding, but these two special abilities made him nearly invincible in battle!
Unless someone surpassed him by a huge margin and killed him instantly, there was no way to stop him from constantly rewinding time and always maintaining a perfect combat state!
"Boom!"
Baburu's axe came at Gao Changkong again, the heavy strike wrapped in terrifying pressure as it swung down from above!
Gao Changkong raised his Solar Wheel Sword to block.
But this time, he clearly felt his arms going numb and sore—it was getting hard to withstand the opponent's attacks.
After several rounds of continuous clashes, his stamina and superhuman abilities were inevitably declining, while the opponent remained in perfect condition.
If this kept up, his defeat was a foregone conclusion!
Yet facing such a troublesome opponent, Gao Changkong didn't have a better strategy for the moment.
Gu Man used her Personal Prison again to seal Baburu away.
This bought Gao Changkong a brief moment to catch his breath.
Gu Man stretched out her right hand toward Baburu, and before he could break through the barrier, she activated her ability in advance.
"Explode!"
The fixed space formed by the Personal Prison collapsed, causing an explosion that attacked whatever was inside.
But this attack power couldn't cause Baburu even a scratch.
The Tri-Eyed Clan's naturally powerful physique gave them immense physical strength and defensive capabilities, making it impossible for a superhuman of Gu Man's level to hurt him easily.
Gao Changkong realized something and said to Gu Man, "Leave this place! If you stay, you'll only make him stronger!"
If Baburu could transfer objects within a certain range, then the more people within that range, the easier it was for him to operate.
Instead, those forced to transfer would be thrown into disarray by the sudden spatial shift.
They might even be used by Baburu to make them attack each other.
The next moment, Gu Man was already swapped with a stone through Baburu's spatial displacement.
Even though she was prepared, Gu Man almost got killed by Baburu.
Fortunately, Gao Changkong was near Baburu at that moment and could block with his sword.
"Go!"
Gao Changkong said to Gu Man.
And a flash of madness gleamed in his eyes.
On the wheel of the Heavenly Dance Treasure Wheel, a brand new rune began to glow.
"World-Destroying Seal!"
Gao Changkong shouted the name of this rune.
His year-long stay in Bharata hadn't been without gain.
He had once gone to an ancient Brahman secret realm in Bharata, taking on a mission known as the Trimurti's Trial, from which he obtained a new power.
The Trimurti of Bharata referred to Brahma the Creator, Vishnu the Preserver, and Shiva the Destroyer.
When Shiva destroyed the world, he did so by performing the Dance of Destruction.
The inspiration for the World-Destroying Seal came from Shiva's dance of annihilation.
It was an ancient Bharatan yoga technique. Gao Changkong had trained hard in the Dancing City for many days before mastering it, allowing him to tap into his body's potential and gain immense power.
As the World-Destroying Seal emerged, Gao Changkong's torso began to twist and move with snake-like flexibility, and a golden superhuman energy storm surged around him.
The frenzied energy kicked up a gale, and even Babu instinctively retreated two steps to brace himself for the incoming terrifying attack.
Although the World-Destroying Seal could temporarily boost power, it was actually a burst skill that squeezed potential dry. If the fight wasn't over within the seal's effective time, Gao Changkong would fall into a prolonged period of weakness.
So unless he was up against an exceptionally tough opponent, he would never use this seal.
But now, facing an enemy of Baburu's level, Gao Changkong had no better option.
Gu Man gritted her teeth and could only quickly flee the great hall to avoid becoming a burden to Gao Changkong.
As she left the temple, a deafening roar came from behind her, and golden light exploded like a sun as Gao Changkong and Baburu clashed again.
Gu Man's heart was burning with anxiety. She knew that even so, against Baburu, who could reset his own state at will, Gao Changkong's chances of victory were slim.
For now, she could only go find other exiled human Epsilons to help Gao Changkong.
She hadn't run far when she saw a figure appearing leisurely on the corridor ahead.
When she saw that person, hope immediately lit up in Gu Man's eyes.
"Zhang Yi!"
