Right now, I don't necessarily have to use the form of fire to express my mana, but time and again, the form of fire magic is indeed the most handy. For mana, which emphasizes the power of spiritual consciousness, what's most handy is what's best.

In the last battle, my flame magic power faced Shan Liangyi's Yin Yang Black and White Magic Power and could only be described as completely defeated. I could only dodge awkwardly, and a slight carelessness might lead to a disastrous defeat and death. At this moment, Shan Liangyi's Yin Yang Black and White Magic Power is even stronger than before. My soul has also strengthened through repeated structural evolutionary iterations, and the strength of this Flame Greatsword in my hand far exceeds my past self.

The two collide with each other, the Yin Yang Black and White Magic Power is shattered, and it explodes with a roar. The Flame Greatsword also shatters and vanishes into smoke. The result of this mutual attack seems to be a draw.

It is through this confrontation that I roughly judged the real gap between myself and Shan Liangyi, and furthermore, I judged another matter—Shan Liangyi did not use his full strength in this strike; it was a prelude for his true killing move.

In the next moment, Shan Liangyi's body passed through the exploding scattered Yin Yang Black and White Magic Power, transforming into a black and white intertwined magic comet, hurtling towards me.

So that's it, I wondered why he used elementalized movement just now, instead of his most adept space-time ability movement. There was a moment when I suspected he was simply trying to show off his "spoils" in front of me, but it seems the real purpose was neither to show off nor simply for movement, but to transform his body entirely into Yin Yang Black and White Magic Power ahead of time, and ideally restructure himself into an extremely powerful attack skill.

Using the elemental incarnation itself as an attack method, this is also a technique I've often used since entering the Great Impermanence Domain. Because, ultimately, battles above the Great Impermanence Domain mostly focus on the density between each other. And mana, the farther away it is from the output source, the lower the density, whereas the closer it is, the stronger.

Although for a character like Shan Liangyi, who is proficient in the Power of Space-Time, the concept of distance seems like modeling clay that can be molded at will, compressing mana directly inside oneself definitely yields higher density compared to outputting it externally to launch attacks. Even if the output is drawn close by, it's still outputting mana to the external. Using an extremely high-density body as a weapon to strike not only makes the power stronger but also provides the advantage of being both attack and defense.

If the opponent were Old Fist God, he probably wouldn't approach recklessly, but now, with me as the opponent, he has the confidence to act with impunity.

If my body and soul are injured by forces of different natures, they can regenerate, but being injured by Yin Yang Black and White Magic Power, it's best to consider it as leaving unrecoverable wounds like those caused by True Spirit Power. Needless to say, I also have True Spirit Power and the Power of Distorting Worlds. Truly wanting to regenerate isn't impossible, but in such a fast-paced battle, it's hard to spare such a large chunk of attention. At least in this battle, I can't recover—I have prepared myself mentally for this.

In an instant, I concentrated a large amount of mana in front of myself, deploying all the abilities I could think of to enhance my defensive power. Then, the Yin Yang Black and White Magic comet struck my body with seemingly overwhelming power.

Just like an ant walking on corrugated paper suddenly struck by an iron pillar dropping from the sky, I was driven to the ground, and the Yin Yang Black and White Magic comet continued its momentum. The ground was pierced through, and I was pushed all the way down by a tidal wave of force, piercing through the crust layer, passing through the Moho interface between the crust and mantle, even continuing further down, reaching the lower mantle fields, about to contact the Gutenberg interface between the outer core and lower mantle.

At the same time, I sensed an unprecedented upheaval above the Asian Continent due to this strike, the part of the continent structure near the ocean shattered like stepped-on cookie crumbs, creating a super rift spanning from China to Turkey, across the entire Asian continent. An earthquake capable of destroying countless cities and countries spread, one after another, volcanoes forced into eruption, massive catastrophes erupting and spreading. Countless thousands might perish under this calamity descending from the sky.

——It's okay; they can be resurrected afterward anyway.

Such thoughts flashed through my mind. I am aware that this is a very dangerous notion. Omnipotence can change people's hearts. Although I'm not particularly concerned about lives other than my own and those important to me, I wonder, continuing like this, how long it will be before I start having similar feelings even towards the lives of those important to me?

Or maybe that's the mental state that most suits my current situation? Should I accept my transformation and view it as something natural?

I can't afford distractions and can only temporarily suppress my thoughts, focusing my spirit entirely on what's in front of me.

"Did you think the two remote attacks I unleashed before were my full strength?" Shan Liangyi let out a triumphant laugh, "How does it feel to be harmed by the Innate Manifestation Talent you once possessed? Now that I've got you close, don't even think about escaping, just let me smash you into dust!"

He transformed back into human form, with both hands around my neck, at close range bursting out his Yin Yang Black and White Magic Power with the force of a supernova explosion.

The world of ultra-dense flowing lava in the lower mantle layer was stirred, shaken, and vibrated under the earth-shattering impact, extremely terrifying seismic waves spread in all directions, bound to send a new round of devastating earthquakes and volcano eruptions to the surface continent.

I seized his wrist tightly.

"What a coincidence, I haven't used my full strength either." I said.

Shan Liangyi was suddenly shocked, and then discovered something, a look of astonishment appeared, "No, you—"

Under layers of defensive measures, even after experiencing his self-sacrificing charge and point-blank explosion, I only suffered minor injuries.

The Power of Manifestation can merge into all things of All Things, both the ultimate defense and the ultimate concealment. Although it cannot completely ignore the destructive power of Yin Yang Black and White Magic Power, and it's impossible to truly hide myself in front of Shan Liangyi, it can still reduce most of the damage. Also, if only to dull his judgment of my current state slightly, it seems doable.

Not until this moment did he realize I was not on the brink of death as he thought.

"I was originally thinking about how to feign weakness to make you let your guard down. Who would have thought you'd come to attack on your own, really saved me a lot of trouble."

As the words fell, a large amount of flame wrapped around my fist, and I heavily punched towards Shan Liangyi.

"Not good—"

Shan Liangyi's face changed dramatically, and he immediately severed his own wrist, deploying his best Space-Time Ability to retreat and distance himself. This retreat can at least instantly pull him back to the surface. Although I can also mimic Space-Time Power of the same nature, trying to confront Shan Liangyi, who specializes in it, and stopping his retreat is still impossible.

However, there's no need for me to decide victory in his proudest domain. As he was retreating, the Power of Return swept through, forcibly pulling him back to the original spot.

Shan Liangyi showed a look of astonishment, and before he could do anything else, my fist was already smashing into his face.

This punch shattered his skull and sent his body flying, blasting it through the Moho interface and the Earth's mantle and crust layers in one go, and continued breaking through the Earth's atmosphere into the dark, boundless cosmic space.

I immediately stepped forward, shifted to his trajectory of falling back, and struck him again with another punch.

Having merely his head blown apart, not to mention he has the Innate Manifestation Talent, as long as he's a Third Door powerhouse, it's impossible to die so easily. Shan Liangyi, of course, wouldn't die like this.

The headless body controlled its momentum and tried once again to deploy Space-Time Power to dodge. The Power of Return swept through again, and the Space-Time Power he just raised had intentions of going back the way it came. Although it didn't actually turn back, the momentary pause rendered his evasion pointless. My fist blew up his body, and even his soul was shattered to pieces.

Since possessing the Innate Manifestation Talent implies having an incomplete True Spirit Form like myself and Ming Zhuo with his Naraku Undying Body. Merely blowing apart his body and soul is just scratching the surface; this point I know best.

Regardless of the strike that blew up his head or the one that exploded his body, I used the Power of the Third Door in both instances, achieving an effect nearly akin to directly attacking the True Spirit. Simultaneously, I used the Power of Divine Seal Fragments to directly damage his True Spirit with True Spirit Power.

So, will Shan Liangyi just honestly die like this?

The answer is no.

The Power of the Third Door and the Power of Divine Seal Fragments, Shan Liangyi also possesses. Perhaps my two attacks could inflict sufficient real harm to him, but they're not enough to deliver a definitive blow.

Yin Yang Black and White Magic Power once again surged in space, and I knew it was Shan Liangyi, so I rushed forward to kill him while activating the Power of Return to restrict his movement. But this time he seemed to have found the right approach; the places where the Yin Yang Black and White Magic Power surged were more than one, and hundreds of surging points appeared around.

I immediately spread a Fire Sea covering this area but only managed to eliminate nine-tenths of it. Shan Liangyi's consciousness center seemed to be moving rapidly among different surging points, finally settling in one place and reassembling his human form.

After recovering, Shan Liangyi stared at me in disbelief, uttering a voice as if his self-esteem were twisted and shattered: "Impossible, impossible, impossible...how could it be!!"
