Chapter 12: The Victory or the Defeat is Over—
From witnessing Gongsun Ling's entry into the sect more than a hundred years ago to today, this is the first time that Lü Buyi has truly fought her with all his might.
Before this, whether it was the sect training in our youth or the sparring when we got to know each other and stayed together, it was all part of our journey together.
Just in case, Lü Buyi never used his full strength, much less the true [Practice the Fake to Return to the Real] technique.
Therefore, it must be admitted that although he still felt reluctant, he did have some expectations for this battle.
Husband to wife, [practicing the false to return to the true] to [changing fate at the same moment]
Gongsun Ling is the best at wearing down the opponent, while Lü Buyi is the least afraid of a battle of attrition.
Who is weak and who is strong?
Who exactly is the challenger?
All of this will be answered by this brief encounter.
boom--
It was another fierce exchange of fire, with the aftershocks of the explosions shattering meteorites in outer space.
Gongsun Ling's Three Truths and Myriad Laws Sword clashed with Lü Buyi's Three Truths and Myriad Karmas Sword!
The two, who both practiced the Three True Treasures Borrowing Method, were unable to determine a winner in this aspect for the time being.
"Not only can it imitate the Lord of Penglai's natal magic weapon, but it can even imitate my Three Truths Myriad Laws Sword, and it's on par with it, without showing any signs of power depletion..."
"This thief's innate ability to copy other people's natal magic weapons out of thin air—could it be that these copies can be preserved for a long time?"
Gongsun Ling was horrified by her discovery, and Jiang Mingzi also understood what this matter truly meant.
If you give him a few thousand years, does that mean one person could accumulate what they've planned...?
No, he's even more dangerous than the one below!
We cannot let him live; he absolutely cannot be allowed to live! Otherwise, if we fail to successfully eliminate Wanye, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Gongsun Ling's gaze turned solemn. He activated his innate divine ability, "Simultaneous Fate Change," at full power, directly connecting to the long-ravaged battlefield!
All the destructive power that had not yet dissipated within this world was transferred by her to Lü Buyi on the other side!
Lu Buyi's countermeasure was...
He endured the damage, and then, through the "Refine the False to Return to the True" technique, he refined these unclaimed methods into his own mana at the cost of some damage.
In an instant, his total magical power returned to 80%!
Lu Buyi, his figure and voice barely concealed, cupped his hands in thanks to Gongsun Ling, whose expression grew increasingly solemn.
"Thank you, Lord of Life and Death."
"You're welcome. Your understanding of causality is truly wondrous—"
Since the other party has taken the initiative to speak, Gongsun Ling is quite willing to deliver the next blow to buy time for Xiao Jiangzi.
"It's one thing to copy one's own natal magic weapon, but to be able to convert an unowned magic weapon into one's own magic power with minimal cost and without loss is something even our sect's Three True Treasure Borrowing Technique cannot do..."
"Why resort to such methods to aid and abet evil?"
Lü Buyi chuckled and gathered his sleeves: "Aiding the wicked?"
"It's hard to say who's right and who's wrong. Without the Corpse Immortal of Ten Thousand Industries, the world of supernatural powers will have no future."
"From this perspective, isn't it wrong to abandon the Three True Principles of the Supernatural World?"
Gongsun Ling was not angry: "The future of the world of supernatural powers, the ultimate dream of all industries, is destined to be a stagnant darkness."
"Compared to this, aren't the infinite possibilities possessed by mortals truly the most accurate?"
"Infinite possibilities?" Lü Buyi clapped his hands. "Truly correct?"
"Ever since the first monkey in the world looked up at the stars, insatiable greed has taken root in the hearts of mortals."
"Ever since our ancient ancestors added Neanderthals to their diet, the insatiable appetite has begun to emerge."
Lü Buyi countered, "How can such a mortal be any better than a Dharma corpse?"
"What kind of bright and righteous future can such ordinary people create?"
"Just as the Dharma Corpse is always greedily seeking more and more life force in order to advance—the greed of mortals is never satisfied either. The Dharma Corpse sees all people as human sacrifices, so don't mortals also treat slaves as human sacrifices?"
"Just like how corpses feed on life force to survive—if one can survive simply by eating, then mortals would eat, and aren't there enough cases of cannibalism already?"
"How can such vile mortals create the bright future you desire?"
Gongsun Ling shook his head: "You are using a fallacy of semantics."
"The corpses of the Dharma cannot enter the realm without life, while mortals can still survive without slaves."
"The corpses cannot survive without harming others, but mortals can use tools to create food to fill their stomachs."
"One day, a prosperous world where everyone is treated equally and can eat their fill without having to eat each other will surely be created by ordinary people."
Lu Buyi chuckled softly, feeling nothing but pity for his wife's naiveté.
He truly lived through an era when everyone could fill their stomachs.
However, even then, the cannibalism and enslavement of people were far from over.
He sighed unconsciously, "Are you sure?"
But unexpectedly, Gongsun Ling shook her head.
"I'm convinced, but not certain—yet I still choose to believe in mortals, because I think the future of the Myriad Corpse Immortals is even worse!"
Lü Buyi looked up, his gaze somewhat unfocused.
"As expected, you won't waver."
"Although you are trying to buy time, thank you for listening to my advice, Lord of Life and Death."
"I sincerely apologize for underestimating your determination at that moment."
Gongsun Ling neither accepted nor refused; she simply gazed at the person before her, whose true nature remained unreadable.
I don't understand why he still insisted on saying what he just said, even though he knew he was stalling for time.
"I could tell you were genuinely trying to change my mind..."
"Is it for winning, or is it—"
Gongsun Ling's gaze was icy: "Do we know each other?"
Although his selfishness led to a slight flaw, Lü Buyi did not regret his attempt.
because……
He really, really didn't want to fight to the death with the person in front of him.
If he could, he would like to be with her for the rest of his life, never to leave her.
But in the end... fate is cruel...
"I haven't seen him before. I just don't like going all out, and I don't want to fight someone who is among the most powerful in the history of the supernatural world."
Lü Buyi chose to lie, then raised his hand, not intending to give Gongsun Ling too much time to think.
"But now that things have come to this, we have different paths and cannot work together."
"Come, Lord of Life and Death, let's exchange one more blow!"
Gongsun Ling suddenly paused, not because she had discovered anything amiss, nor because of the challenge from the person in front of her.
It was because—something went wrong with Jiang Mingzi!
Does the other party also have the means to transcend different times and spaces?
"I dare to disregard the unparalleled legacy of future generations and waste time letting you stall, not just because I want to turn you against me, Lord of Life and Death!"
With the Three Truths and Myriad Causes Sword in hand, Lü Buyi waved his hand, and all the meteorites from outer space transformed into giant swords that slashed down.
"You're waiting, but so am I?"
"Now, would he dare to accept another high-ranking punishment?"
"The fate of the land and its people is sealed; the battle is over—"
