Chapter 105

He couldn't help but click his tongue, as if to render a verdict on the enemy before him.

"That is incorrect."

Yaobikuni smiled slightly, "Master Leipu, why would you say such things?"

"Have you not found yourself among the ignorant, with only you knowing the truth?"

"Have you not been treated as an outcast by those around you for being too clear-headed?"

"Have you not tried to save others, only to be denounced as a madman in return?"

She looked at him, her golden pupils reflecting the lightning-surging powerhouse, yet she showed no fear; instead, it was as if she were looking at another version of herself.

"Those whose understanding differs from others are often viewed as madmen." She tilted her head slightly, "How could you not understand this principle?"

"Just as the wind blows, fire burns, and thrown stones fall, I simply naturally discovered and applied a deeper [ Principle ]."

"You are not me; you do not have my near-death hunger, nor the eyes that opened after a bite of [ Divine Flesh ]."

"But if we speak of each having their own realizations, everyone has their own karmic fate."

"We are, in fact, no different."

In that moment, she flew through the blood-red sky, like a mad mother goddess gazing mercifully upon the world.

What a philosophy of life's madness.

Qi Xing felt a chill shoot from the soles of his feet to the back of his head.

He had previously wondered where [ True Buddhism ] got so much money, and where [ Amaterasu ] got so much magical power. Now he finally understood; the answer was so [ Simple ] it was almost absurd—

If the resources aren't enough, just [ Give Birth ] to them!

[ Sex ] and [ Procreation ] have always held a special status in occult practices.

Since primitive men can transcend the limits of their own life's potential simply by wearing [ Flesh Armor ], then refining [ Procreation ] itself into a ritual can naturally achieve even greater power, and even become a system exploit for farming resources!

Since she has already opened her eyes, realized profound wisdom, and attained supreme truth; since she can see it, she can utilize it, and since she can utilize it, she can naturally farm it!

Therefore, Qi Xing felt there was no need to waste any more breath on such a super lunatic.

Kill her, that is all.

If possible, capturing her alive for interrogation would of course be better.

The only problem is… how to actually kill her.

Combining the mad cycle of procreation with eight hundred years of magical power, and the vitality endlessly farmed using system exploits… such a lunatic, her health bar and regeneration speed have probably piled up to an absurd level.

Although not cheating with locked health, it is already an astronomical number farmed by exploiting system loopholes.

Even if Qi Xing could land every punch, he didn't know how long he would have to fight to grind down her health bar!

This battle is tough.

"Do not be deceived by her regeneration."

Sasa spoke up at this moment, right from Qi Xing's shoulder,

"She is actually driven to a desperate situation by you now. Although it looks like she is still constantly reincarnating and regenerating, after being scoured by the power of your Yam, there are already flaws in the [ Cycle ]."

"The infinite [ Cycle ] within a closed system, an Ouroboros eating itself, looks invincible in its own environment. But in reality, as long as it receives a strong external shock or vibration, it will immediately fall apart."

"Are you mocking yourself?"

Qi Xing couldn't help but quip, causing Sasa to glare at him fiercely.

But Sasa truly understood this principle; she had personal experience—the self-cycle within a closed system looks good at first glance, but once it receives an external impact, such as the divine fist of Jesus falling from the sky, or Qi Xing who snuck in who knows when, it easily develops loopholes.

The Northeast region that Yaobikuni has managed for eight hundred years was actually only disrupted in its [ Cycle ] because of the sudden heavy strikes from the [ Outsiders ] Jingo Rin and Qi Xing.

As long as Qi Xing hits the current Yaobikuni with a big one and shakes the Wheel of Reincarnation, the situation might change.

His usual Thunder Fist, electric claws, and Thunder-Fire Sword were not enough to defeat this 800-year-old super lunatic in one move, so he would have to bring out a new ultimate move.

Just after the [ Black Spartacus ] event ended, before Qi Xing came to Japan, he had studied at his mansion in Rome, developing a strongest, newest ultimate move that wasn't restricted to [ silver coin ] and took his own [ Martial Arts ] to the next level.

Now, it was time to use it for the first time.

Suddenly, Yaobikuni felt the aura on Qi Xing's body vanish completely in an instant.

The killing intent was gone, the sense of oppression vanished, and even the surrounding thunder fell quietly silent.

Qi Xing pressed his palms together, closed his eyes, and stood in the air; all aura seemed to turn into nothingness.

Nothingness.

In an instant, Yaobikuni couldn't even feel his presence.

But within that [ Nothingness ], there was a deeper kind of danger, more oppressive than before. It even made Yaobikuni, who claimed to have no more fear… suddenly feel a jolt of terror!

— — Is this Master Leipu's strongest ultimate move? It wasn't recorded in the archives I investigated!

Qi Xing just closed his eyes, palms pressed together, without a trace of anger, without a ripple of emotion.

His whole person was like a solemn statue of a Buddha.

It was as if the myriad phenomena of heaven and earth had nothing to do with him anymore.

But that was not true peace.

That was thunder condensing in silence, a storm compressed to its limit amidst the absolute stillness.

"Don't come over!"

Yaobikuni finally shouted in panic.

Her lower body began to swell violently, and umbilical cords like feathered fins curled and flew, wrapping around her abdomen as if to gather all the [ Fetus ] of the entire [ Inner Realm ] into a core.

Those unborn fetuses that should have been scattered, those fleshly remnants that had been born during the battle and then smashed, were now all summoned by her, curling back into her body.

"— — [ Red Fetus Mandala Holy Conception · Great Sun Phantom Fetus ]!"

A giant phantom of a fetus suddenly appeared in the void, wearing a jeweled crown, eyes closed, mouth shut, with immense divine power. The posture was not like a human, not like a god, like a ghost, like a Buddha, yet with a noble appearance.

It slowly raised its hand, as if carrying the mother's 800-year-old long-cherished wish and cruel magical power, and suppressed Qi Xing with one palm.

Qi Xing finally opened his eyes.

Light did not explode. Thunder did not crack.

When he threw his punch, there was no sound around, and the world seemed to hold its breath.

There was only a force of the fist, from Yin to Yang, from nothing to something, from extreme stillness to extreme motion, erupting in the void!

The roar between heaven and earth was delayed by half a second.

The whole world slowed down by a beat.

A punch was thrown, colliding with the palm.

The ground crumbled, the sea of blood parted, and the exposed sand and mud on the seabed were blasted thousands of feet into the air.

The fetus phantom began to crack, like a Buddha statue with peeling colored glaze, showing cracks.

Qi Xing's right arm was also blasted bloody, the skin charred, and even the jacket Elaine bought for him was half-shredded.

But that punch did not retreat at all.

Its power was as if Qi Xing had put everything inside his body into the fist, a fierce, destructive force wanting to destroy everything!

"Crack!!"

The fetus phantom was finally completely shattered.

Qi Xing's fist was like a bolt of lightning from the heavens, passing through the scattered remnants of light and blood, striking straight toward Yaobikuni's face!

She opened her mouth subconsciously, but before she could make a sound—

The fist was already before her eyes.

"Boom!!!"

She didn't even have time to scream!

In an instant, Yaobikuni's massive half-human, half-fish body was blasted down by Qi Xing's punch, her whole body tumbling in the air, and the feathered fins on her lower body were all torn and exploded!

With one punch, he knocked her from the sky, smashing her into the dead rocky shore at the edge of the sea of blood, causing her to sink in with an exaggerated arc, forcibly embedded in the rock!

This was Qi Xing's strongest ultimate move at present—

[ Wuji Vibration Zen ]!

103: Buddha Mother Mahamayuri

Taiji is born from Wuji, the mother of Yin and Yang.

The extremely soft can gallop across the world as the extremely hard; this is also the profound principle of Taiji.

From stillness to motion, from Yin to Yang, the conversion between soft and hard, the accumulation and release of power… as well as the depletion and dissipation of attacks.

Anyone who has entered the hall of martial arts understands this set to some degree.

But understanding does not mean being able to do it.

Doing it does not mean being able to do it to the extreme.

[ Motion arises from stillness ] is a principle everyone has heard, but how deep of a [ Stillness ] can one suppress oneself into, to then explode with how [ Strong ] of a [ Motion ]?

Most people, no matter how much they force themselves to be calm internally, no matter how they push themselves to transition to an explosion, in reality, life's instinct will not allow them to exceed that limit.

The more you want to explode, the more your body will hold you back; the more you want to [ Give it your all ], the more your body will pull back at the edge of death. Your body is more cowardly than you imagine.

This is the watershed of one's level of attainment.

Qi Xing is a wild-path Martial Immortal who eats from all sources. He already understood this set of principles.

But ever since the [ Black Spartacus ] event, he began to seek a higher level of attainment than his past self.

Stillness. But isn't complete stillness just death?

The greatest stillness is death, it is extinction, it is Nirvana.

And what about the limit of [ Motion ]?

It is the wild dance of life, it is birth.

Yaobikuni chose [ Life ], breaking through limits with the cycle of production.

Qi Xing cannot give birth to children.

Nor can he attain Nirvana or extinction—he is not a Buddha.

But he can enter Zen meditation, abandoning eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body, leaving only consciousness to return to the realm of nothingness.

Then, with supreme wisdom, borrowing the way of Wuji giving birth to Taiji, he awakens his fist intent.

Thunder contains the kalpas of heaven and earth's birth and destruction, it is the gathering of Yin and Yang energies.

Using simulated death and rebirth to blast out the true power of the Yang pole.

What has form can be broken; what has no form is invincible.

An extremely strong ultimate move. An [ Absolute Explosion ] from [ Emptiness ].

This is Qi Xing's [ Wuji Vibration Zen ].

However, although the principles can be understood, and the heart can grasp them—

But this punch was struck from simulated death, torn out from the instinct of life. Even a terrestrial immortal must pay the due price.

With one punch, Qi Xing's right arm was left with flesh like shattered copper wires, bursting open along the finger bones, blood spurting from the edge of his palm and splashing all the way to his shoulder along the arm bone.

The skin was charred black, burned by the power he had unleashed; the tendons were twisted, and the lingering might of the Yang pole true power was still dancing between his periosteum.

But Qi Xing did not frown, nor did he look at the wound, just clenched his fist again. It was like calmly sheathing a blade that had been heated until it glowed red.

The matter was not over yet.

" [ Five Thunders Demon-Slaying Blade ]."

Five streaks of lightning turned into blade radiance, shot from Qi Xing's fingers, and slashed into the deep pit on the rocky shore.

In the flash of lightning, Yaobikuni's lower body was chopped off, her limbs neatly severed, and in an instant, she was reduced to a half-body, helpless human stump.

This was not for cruel slaughter, but to suppress her ability. Facing such a great monster, equivalent to a great demon or fierce fiend, the slightest hesitation could lead to a counterattack.
