Chapter 234 Reason and Deception Combined: Terrifying Atmosphere.
Sai Fei'er put her hands on her hips, looked smug and confident, and laughed loudly:
"Ha, that's exactly what I wanted! Anger can blind people, no matter what kind of 'genius' he is, the same principle applies. When he's deep inside the parliament and confronts me..."
"You then 'bang' activate the alchemy, turning him into a caged beast with nowhere to escape."
At that moment, Xia gently shook her head, coldly rejecting the idea outright:
"Regardless of how you disguise yourself as a 'savior,' you must not let anyone discover any flaws..."
"To think you can use a human transmutation array to imprison a being comparable to a god? That's just wishful thinking."
"Are you chickening out, or do you not believe in the value of a 'trickster' demigod?"
Sai Fei'er stared intently at Xia Ke with a serious expression, no longer beating around the bush, and asked directly:
"Keep it simple, just tell me: can you do it?"
Xia lowered his head and pondered for a moment, his eyes darkening, then he gave a disdainful snort and said:
"Hmph, of course, it's as easy as turning your hand."
"But there are two conditions. This is the final battle, and we must go all the way and leave no room for compromise."
Sai Fei'er looked surprised and curious, and quickly leaned forward to ask, "Oh, how so?"
Xia immediately spoke, explaining clearly, word by word:
"First, moving the battlefield to the center of the cosmic vortex would be more convincing, both emotionally and logically, with the pioneers appearing there."
"Moreover, the center of the vortex is a forbidden place isolated from the world—in other words, the whole of Onphalos is the most suitable place to be a permanent prison."
Sai Fei'er frowned, her face full of doubt, and said:
"With your actions, won't our 'savior' have to face off against Lai Gushi when he returns?"
Xia remained calm and composed, her tone unwavering:
"This battle was inevitable; we can only create more opportunities for her, and that is the second condition..."
"Remember? The vortex originally belonged to the Ocean Titan, Fajina, and among the few survivors in the world, there happened to be a demigod of the 'Ocean'."
"Tell Heather the plan and get her involved in the battle. I will forge myself into the Philosopher's Stone beforehand and inscribe it into the core spell..."
"At that time, she will shatter me completely and scatter the dust and sand evenly into the ocean at the heart of the vortex."
Sai Fei'er looked at Xia Ke, who was so serious, as if she wanted to refine herself into the ultimate weapon.
First, it suddenly widened its round cat eyes, revealing an expression of extreme shock.
He couldn't help but chuckle softly, looking at Xia Shi in front of him with a playful and provocative expression:
"...Ha, Tree Garden boy, people say you're crazy, and I think they're absolutely right."
"I have no idea how to scheme against a reclusive genius; but a demigod of 'reason' can make a man of Antiochthon suffer in a thousand ways."
Xia closed her eyes and pondered for a moment. When she opened them again, a cold and dangerous glint flashed in her small eyes.
"What I just described is only one ten-thousandth of the whole."
Sai Fei'er became even more curious and quickly pressed Xia Ke to ask:
"So, what exactly are the effects of your technique?"
Xia chuckled softly, her tone deliberately mysterious:
"This is the climax of the show, how can we easily reveal the ending?"
Then, Xia slowly gazed into the distance, thinking of another person, her voice carrying a strong sense of conspiracy:
"If I do the math, it's about time Feng Jin completed the Sky Clan's ritual."
"Since that audience member shares my love for performances, let him look forward to the ultimate show we'll present—"
"As for how that 'savior' will complete the 're-creation,' that's not something we need to worry about."
...
Immediately afterwards, above the sky, Xi Lian's voice was calm and heavy, slowly recounting that tragic history that had been buried in the dust of time.
"That was the last battle known to the world, initiated by two demigods who were not good at fighting."
"Then, 'reason' and 'treachery' fulfilled their promise. At the cost of their lives, they sealed Gushi in the heart of the cosmic vortex, where he remains to this day."
In the sky-view image, you can clearly see Saifei'er transformed into a little gray fur.
With his convincing disguise, Gu Shi was lured step by step to the core of the cosmic vortex.
In front of the little gray-haired girl played by Sai Feier, there was a scarlet, indestructible crystal floating in the air.
Without a doubt, it was the Philosopher's Stone that Xia had completely refined by burning himself.
...
When the people of Douluo Continent saw this scene...
First, I felt an overwhelming sense of admiration and awe for that summer.
Immediately, those with guilty consciences and despicable behavior felt a chill run down their spines and broke out in a cold sweat.
At that moment, Xia was truly a complete madman who would stop at nothing to win.
He personally orchestrated the splitting of Wan Di's soul into five parts, while he himself...
He was so ruthless that he completely transformed himself into the Philosopher's Stone.
Finally, the crystal was to be completely shattered, broken into billions of pieces, and scattered into the ocean at the heart of the vortex.
Everyone immediately understood a cruel yet true truth.
In the outer world, it is not scary for a person to have great destructive power.
The most terrifying are those scholars who are intelligent, meticulous, and extremely calm.
Once they go mad, the consequences will be far more terrifying and explosive than force.
Because when they go crazy, they can even become the ultimate pawn on the chessboard without hesitation.
They would stop at nothing to ensure their enemies suffer eternally and never recover.
They might even work tirelessly to create even more cruel and unsolvable methods.
Didn't you see him? The once invincible, all-conquering Lai Gushi.
In the end, they still fell into this trap and were forever sealed in the heart of the cosmic vortex by the two of them.
Long years of imprisonment and boundless loneliness are the ultimate torment for anyone.
Xia was incredibly ruthless and ruthless at that moment, leaving no way out.
Then look at Yu Xiaogang, who is known as "Master" on Douluo Continent.
In comparison, he is simply a piece of utterly worthless trash.
All his theoretical research was simply copied from others' work, with no originality whatsoever.
Even if it's just something he boasts about everywhere.
The absurd theory that plant-type soul masters can absorb soul rings from animal-type soul beasts.
He studied it for decades, but never put it into practice or verified it.
Surprisingly, not a single person was willing to take the risk for him during this time.
It wasn't until he met Tang San, who was silly and knew nothing, that people believed his fallacies.
What about before he met Tang San?
Without a subject of study, he kept his theory aside and remained stagnant.
If he hadn't met Tang San, would he never have made any breakthroughs or progress?
Many people angrily denounced Yu Xiaogang for having absolutely no spirit of exploration or willingness to sacrifice.
If he truly possesses the will to pursue the Dao with madness.
He was stuck at level 29 in his soul power for years and could not improve, thus being trapped for life.
Why didn't you think of forcibly absorbing the power of the spirit rings to break through the bottleneck?
It might directly cause a surge in soul power, breaking the curse.
How can we pave a path for the many soul beasts in Douluo Continent who are stuck at their bottlenecks?
Or perhaps he learned from the Spirit Hall that 100,000-year-old spirit beasts could be sacrificed.
Regardless of whether a Soul Master's Soul Power level has reached the point where they can absorb a Soul Ring, it can directly become a Soul Ring and help them break through their cultivation level.
If he were really a little more reckless and decisive...
We should head to the Star Dou Great Forest to find a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
They might persuade the other party to make a sacrifice, or, like Tang Hao, fall in love with a soul beast and force it to make a sacrifice.
Alternatively, put down the books and conduct on-site research to see if ten-thousand-year-old or thousand-year-old soul beasts can also be sacrificed.
However, Yu Xiaogang spends all his time with a tattered book, working in isolation and engaging in theoretical discussions without any real understanding of the subject.
They dared not even step into dangerous areas where spirit beasts roamed, as timid as mice.
How could someone like that possibly achieve great things?
They are utterly useless, completely hopeless.
He wasted his title of "master".
