Chapter 654
Chapter 654: Chapter 587 Morbidity Chapter 654: Chapter 587 Morbidity Icy frost filled the air, charging towards Tao Yu, the air itself solidifying into ice crystals that plummeted downward!
The azure world clashed directly against the rolling mirrors behind Tao Yu, then fused seamlessly into one, without any sense of touch.
The world of frost froze her own, while the world of mirrors folded mine.
However, even after successfully unleashing his Innate Barrier, Tao Yu was somewhat taken aback by the sense of oppression he felt.
He had directly engaged in a spiritual clash with Sauron, without any physical collision.
But Esdeath turned out to be even stronger than Saruman, the Maiar!
“Indeed, you’re the type who doesn’t care about human life and fits right in with the Abyss,” Tao Yu remarked as the One Ring in his hand shone brightly.
With the power of the One Ring and Tao Yu’s increasingly familiar strength, after entering the Innate Barrier, he unleashed a terrifying raw force towards the encroaching frost world.
Behind Tao Yu, like a deep and shadowy Abyss, endless Black Mud surged out of the world of mirrors like writhing tentacles, rolling towards the frost world ahead.
Even as large swathes of the contacting Black Mud were frozen solid, then shattered, withering away,
that sense of overwhelming oppression from above still managed to suppress the advance of the frost and began pushing back.
If it had been Saruman he was facing right now, it would have indeed been troublesome.
But now, even with just sheer brute force, Tao Yu was more than capable thanks to the One Ring!
A fitting adversary, letting Tao Yu truly indulge in the arbitrary sense of overpowering another.
“Before, it was all about using different magic tricks, mostly at a disadvantage when it came to raw power, but this feeling right now is really nice…”
Esdeath, with her blue hair dancing about, heard Tao Yu’s words.
Ice spears began to condense around her, while a playful smirk appeared on her lips,
“You talk as if you know me well, but not bad, I’ve taken a liking to you.
I’ll capture you and make you my warlord husband.”
His unexpected words rendered Tao Yu somewhat speechless.
But then he imagined that this was just her character; it seems she hadn’t yet encountered Tazmi.
Esset was a personality that valued strength above all, believing in seizing everything with her own power and having never been in love, had whimsically considered capturing someone she found appealing to try out.
Tao Yu was confident in his own looks, and now, with the charm boost from the Witch Path, he was definitely universally appealing.
With this display of strength, it was natural for her to speak that way.
Yet when faced with an enemy, Tao Yu wouldn’t waver because of her words.
“Ha, those who have seen my full force haven’t lived to tell the tale, but for your comment, I might consider preserving your will after enslavement.”
Just as Tao Yu finished speaking, Esdeath’s deviously aimed ice spears were already tearing through the air.
Clearly, Esdeath wasn’t holding back either!
She, who has always believed in the supremacy of strength!
Whoosh whoosh~
The slicing ice spears, frigid even by their standards, made the area around them so cold that even the microscopic particles started to slow down, and all materials became extremely brittle.
Simple, innocuous things that after surging forward, effortlessly pierced through the roiling Black Mud in front!
But in the next moment, a flaming sword appeared in Tao Yu’s hand, erasing all ice spears with a single sweep.
Enveloped in surging dark red flames, Tao Yu extravagantly flaunted his mastery of fire, granted by his Hunter and Witch paths, along with the power he had absorbed from the Flame Demon.
Energy within transformed according to the “Longevity Secret,” constantly undergoing conversion.
The magical power of “The One Ring” flowed into the body and was subsequently digested and utilized!
The blade in hand was also shaped as a temporary Noble Phantasm using “Giftsmith” directly.
Hovering over the sky shrouded by the black sea, like a Celestial God descending!
Various forms of weapons began to form around Tao Yu, drawing from sources like Black Mud, frost, flames, thunder, and even fel energy, with varying shapes, properties, and functions.
However, overall, all the energy still leaned towards the style of The Underworld.
A veritable armory of the eighteen layers of hell.
With a wave of Tao Yu’s flaming sword, all the weapons surged towards Esdeath under the command of Tao Yu’s “Legion’s Strength”!
Among the strongest weapons, the cores even bore the faint traces of Flame Demon, Dreadlord, and Sauron’s shadows!
With them as the core, Tao Yu directly infused these spirits into the weapons, embodying them most vividly!
Apart from these, other blades incorporated beings such as Yue Yun, Teng Lianghong, and other World Breakers, or at the very least, the essence of Shadow Aliens.
Like spirits inhabiting objects, complementing the forged Noble Phantasms, they added spirituality and power!
Able to resist the oppression of the Black Mud, and just like Icebound World, which was only slightly compressed before the surging black sea, they could not halt these weapons in the slightest!
In contrast to Tao Yu’s effortless resolution, Esdeath’s beautiful face only grew more frantic, but her actions quickly retracted the spreading frost.
With each retraction, the delay brought by the ice increased!
But here stood Tao Yu, now with The One Ring’s endowment and having infused even the Shadow Soldiers like Flame Demon into the Noble Phantasms.@@novelbin@@
Thanks to the powerful surge of energy, Esdeath’s compressed Icebound World struggled to achieve its intended effect.
Merely reaching a ‘slowing’ effect!
Absolute zero itself is an extremity, similar to the speed of light; margin effects are extremely evident, and even a slight difference makes for a world of difference.
Theoretically, an object at light speed could have infinite mass, but at 99% of light speed, it only gains seven times the mass.
Approaching 99% of absolute zero is similarly a case of missing by a hair and failing by a mile!
“Physical side’s Time Stop is indeed a shortcut, but it has too many obvious flaws.”
As Tao Yu’s voice fell, a gigantic flaming maul, transformed from Flame Demon, roared and shattered the sense of freezing nearby.
It smashed fiercely against the ice wall in front of Esdeath, instantly shattering the compressed Power of Frost, akin to an absolute defense, into pieces.
But Esdeath also used this force to simultaneously retreat rapidly.
As she flew back, tiny ice spikes continuously formed beside her, blasting towards each Noble Phantasm.
In terms of power, her ice spikes were no match for the weapons Tao Yu had crafted with Sauron’s “Artisan’s Authority.”
But she didn’t need to deal with all the Noble Phantasms; she just had to focus on neutralizing the most threatening ones, countering each move!
By compressing the area, she could gain an advantage in the localized zone.
If one ice spike failed, then two would follow, continually stacking on the weapons, focusing defense with the power she actively retracted, all the while dodging and retreating.
But this was the gain from her strategic retreat.
Having thought the battle was over, Tao Yu was surprised after a prolonged lack of success.
Strictly speaking of combat wisdom and experience, she was stronger than him.
This must have been the best response she could have chosen!
And even in these circumstances, she showed not the slightest intention of surrender or submission; on the contrary, she fought with growing excitement.
Her body was repeatedly marked with new wounds, but it seemed to have grown much stronger.
Even though her white naval uniform was somewhat shattered, exposing patches of snowy skin, it still had not caused any substantial damage…
What do you think?
