Chapter 60 Twisted Void
Faced with Bai Zhe's maniacal laughter, the Black Death Moon Goddess Exa, having seen her share of storms, was surprised by Bai Zhe's methods but quickly regained her composure. Her eyes flashed with endless coldness, and her voice, filled with the aura of death, echoed through the void: "In the end, it's nothing more than a contest of faith power. We fight in our own worlds, where the power of faith is inexhaustible, while you, even if you understand a little about the Dao of Space, will always suffer losses when your power is transmitted. Let's see how many times you can be reborn."
As soon as she finished speaking, the surrounding void cracked open, and the shattered space seemed to begin to be recreated by her will. A strong aura of darkness spread out, followed by countless heroic spirits formed from death and slaughter. Each heroic spirit's face was twisted and in pain, their bodies shattered, the suffering they endured in life having become their eternal prison.
They were once staunch followers of Exar, but under her tyrannical rule, at the peak of their lives, their souls were stripped and condensed by the Moonlight Judgment, becoming her endless army. The number of these heroic spirits was enormous, almost obscuring the entire battlefield.
"Go forth, to meet the call of death!" With a wave of his hand, Exa unleashed a torrent of heroic spirits, rushing towards Bai Zhe. Their existence seemed to be the embodiment of darkness; countless souls intertwined, carrying the power of miracles, swarming toward Bai Zhe.
Bai Zhe kept dying.
At the same time, Tilia's body and mind were twisted in an instant, becoming unreal, as if she had never existed.
Exa gave a cold laugh: "Do you understand now, Bai Zhe? Tilia is nothing but a false personality I created. In order to deal with you, I have absorbed her and made her a part of me, making my power even greater!"
As Exa finished speaking, an even greater force of deletion surged forth from her body. That power seemed capable of distorting everything in existence; even the void around Bai Zhe began to rapidly twist into vortexes, unable to withstand this vast force of deletion.
"This is my true power!" Exa's eyes gleamed with fanaticism, as if she had already brought the world and all existence under her control. The power of deletion swept towards Bai Zhe, countless heroic spirits swirling around him, their distorted faces and endless screams nearly overwhelming his consciousness.
However, there was no panic in Bai Zhe's eyes, but rather a cold, defiant sneer: "Delete? Then let's wait and see. I'm rooted in three worlds, let's see who can outlast whom?"
Before he finished speaking, the entire space was suddenly torn apart by a life-editing force. The void around Bai Zhe began to overlap, distorting reality. Fragments of matter and information flew everywhere. Behind him, a black worm that seemed to be fourteen meters long or infinitely huge appeared, like an endless torrent of life. The worm slowly wriggled, and each wriggle was accompanied by the re-editing of the past, the tearing and repair of old footprints, and the extension of the footprints that Bai Zhe had walked.
"The Eternal Cycle Time-Space Worm Resurrection Divine Skill, the cycle of reincarnation has begun."
The two sides continued this back-and-forth battle in a very repetitive and uninspired manner.
Three hours later, darkness fell, space continued to crumble, and the battlefield turned into an apocalyptic scene.
Exa's power to distort reality overwhelmed everything; her deletions were like a raging flood, wantonly destroying every inch of reality. With each wave of her hand, fragments of reality vanished like pieces of paper, and Bai Zhe's body was annihilated time and time again, only to be rapidly reborn under the divine power of the spacetime worm.
However, as time went on, Bai Zhe's regeneration became increasingly difficult. Each rebirth brought even heavier void rifts, and the restorative power gradually became unable to maintain its original state.
Bai Zhe frowned, knowing full well that the battle had entered its most dangerous phase. This space could no longer sustain life; even his powerful spacetime worm was beginning to feel the pressure. His gaze sharpened, a cold smile playing on his lips.
The Black Death Moon God, Exa, also looked down at him with a cold smile, her voice echoing as if it had traveled through millennia-old glaciers: "You think I'm just a fool who would foolishly compete with you to see who has more faith energy? Fool, you underestimate me."
Her words were laced with mockery. "This world, after my repeated deletions, is already incredibly fragile. The entire world that your spacetime worm once infested is almost gone." Her gaze was as sharp as a hawk's. "Soon, I will delete a black hole from this plane. Although it will cause some damage, you'd better just roll out of this world with the black hole!"
Bai Zhe remained standing in the same spot, his head slightly bowed, a faint glint in his eyes. A slight smile played on his lips, more composed than that of Exa: "You're such a fool, Exa."
He said casually, "My Blood Bacteria Devouring Heaven Pathogen Extinction Heart Sutra has already been activated, and the virus has long since contaminated everything." His gaze became profound: "You should look back at your moon."
Exa's smile froze instantly. She turned her head sharply, her gaze fixed on the moon hanging high in the sky. The moon, which had been as white as silver, suddenly glowed with an eerie red light, as if it had turned into a sea of blood.
Countless heroic spirits wailed, their voices filled with indescribable pain. Those souls that had once been controlled by Exa seemed to sense the impending disaster and trembled in terror in the air.
"How is this possible?" Exa murmured in shock. She felt an invisible force surging directly from Bai Zhe towards her source of faith—the moon. That force rapidly depleted her faith, causing her miracles to decline sharply. She turned to try and regain control, but she could no longer wield the moon and the Heroic Spirits as she once did.
Cracks appeared on the moon's surface, and a crimson light stained the sky with blood. The moonlight was no longer pure; instead, it was filled with the stench of decay and disease. The heroic spirits wailed under this power, falling one after another into nothingness. Even the moon—the embodiment of faith that had once provided Exar's power—began to rapidly crumble and collapse.
While Exa was still in shock, Bai Zhe gave her no chance to catch her breath. He knew that this world had become precarious under Exa's repeated erasure power, and any slight change could trigger a huge crack.
Based on this, Bai Zhe quickly made a decision.
An imperceptible fluctuation emanated from his body, and then the spacetime worm's passage quietly extended, tearing open the barrier of reality by taking advantage of the fragility of heaven and earth, and quickly copying and pasting one of his clones behind Exa.
In that instant, Bai Zhe appeared behind Exa like a ghost, giving her almost no time to react. Bai Zhe stood very close, his voice low and cold: "Delete."
His soft command was like a pronouncement of fate. A flicker of panic crossed Exa's eyes as his voice rang out, but she immediately forced herself to remain calm. Her hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals, unleashing the power of the Black Death Moon God, attempting to distort the force of erasure. However, this force of erasure was not aimed at her existence, but rather at the already fragile space itself.
As Bai Zhe activated the Eternal Rebellion and Distortion of the Heavenly Scripture of Impermanence and Blood Calamity, space began to tremble violently. Exa sensed an indescribable force tearing apart the surrounding reality, as if a thin sheet of paper were being ruthlessly ripped open. The cracks in space spread rapidly, the tearing speed increasing, and every inch of the void being ripped apart was undergoing some kind of catastrophic change.
Then, the most terrifying thing happened—a black vortex rapidly expanded in the air, which was the black hole that could devour everything.
As the black hole expanded, a flicker of panic crossed Exa's mind. She had used her reality-distorting abilities countless times to alter the reality of matter and information, manipulating everything in this world. However, this time, faced with the black hole's devouring power, she felt an unprecedented sense of helplessness.
Exa quickly adjusted her posture, forming hand seals in an attempt to distort the surrounding reality. Her miraculous divine power erupted from within her, a vast force of reality distortion surging towards the black hole along with her will, trying to erase it from this space. She gritted her teeth, her eyes flashing with a crazed light, wanting to reverse everything and completely heal the black hole that was about to devour her.
However, when her power touched the black hole, her heart sank. She felt her power being blocked by a massive, invisible barrier the instant of contact—a resistance she had never encountered before. Her distortion of reality tried to resist, but found that this power was beyond her control. It was a miraculous power that Bai Zhe had learned from the information structures detached from her repeated deletion attacks using the Unpredictable Blood Calamity Eternal Reversal Distortion Scripture, surpassing even its master.
"How is this possible…" Exa whispered, her voice filled with shock and disbelief. She forcibly increased her power, but her faith was no longer as inexhaustible as before, instead appearing extremely weak. The divine realm on the moon had been corrupted, the wails of heroic spirits echoed in the void, the souls of her believers were no longer at her disposal, and the light of her faith had dimmed and lost its strength. Her divine realm was collapsing continuously, and the faith that had once sustained her was visibly diminishing.
She whirled around, looking towards the moon, a flicker of despair in her eyes. The moon no longer shone with its sacred silver light; instead, it was shrouded in an ancient, decaying aura. The agonizing cries of the heroic spirits surged forth like a tide, vanishing from her grasp. Her faith had been utterly corrupted, no longer able to offer her any support.
"Why...why..." Exa's voice trembled slightly, her hands shook a little, and she could no longer maintain her lofty divine power.
She lowered her head helplessly, realizing that she could no longer change anything.
No matter how powerful she once was, no matter how dazzling the radiance of the Black Death Moon Goddess, she could not ultimately withstand the shattering of space and the distortion of reality. She tried to maintain her existence with her last strength, but when her power was finally exhausted, an irresistible attraction swallowed her whole.
The black hole's devouring force tore her body apart, blood gushing out. She was instantly churned into a bloody, mangled mess, mercilessly expelled from this world. Exa's consciousness gradually faded, her entire being pulled into a temporal turbulence, completely severed from her connection to reality.
Her last murmur faded into the void: "No... I shouldn't... have failed..."
As her voice completely disappeared, the black hole shrank again under the twisting power of the White Impermanence Blood Calamity Eternal Reversal Twisted Heavenly Scripture, eventually becoming a silent void
