Lu Ping’an, wielding a "Battle Axe," yet his memory returned to yesterday.
The female Knight with shark teeth laughed as she swung her Battle Axe, stirring up this void.
𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
The Wave-Cutting Axe, in the eyes of the current Lu Ping’an, was not considered a particularly powerful martial technique; it was merely a legacy from a remote Small World... However, its essence was extremely interesting.
"Strike, vibration, resonance, stirring..."
Ordinary words were overturning the very basic Order of the world, concerning the core principles of the world’s construction.
In the past, Lu Ping’an thought that what he was "Extinguish Voiding" was truly the "sky" or "space."
"...What I want to shatter, what I can shatter, is this dimension."
The phantom of the female Knight overlapped with Lu Ping’an’s figure as "Soul-binding. Blood Shark of Eternal Fury" tapped gently on this real world.
With the help of the Eye of Truth, Lu Ping’an came to know the true nature of "world" and "dimension," each one like a resonating frequency of superficial worlds.
And the spot where this Battle Axe thrashed about was precisely the "foundation" of this world.
It seemed something had shattered.
It seemed something was changing.
In the hands of Lu Ping’an, who possessed the Eye of Truth, the essence of this "Wave-Cutting Axe’s Three Extreme Kills" had already surpassed its intended highest design limit.
Using it as the "point of interference," Lu Ping’an was attempting to tear apart this space, to pull the surrounding world into it, trying to stir everything together...
The sudden fragmentation shocked everyone.
On Lu Ping’an’s Decree-level "Beheading Blade," there actually appeared some fragments. Even for the eternal Abyssal Beheading Axe, tearing apart space and dimensions was indeed too far beyond the scope.
But Lu Ping’an remained unmoved... He merely silently swung his Chopping Axe, striking the "intangible" in the air.
As for why his opponent did not stop him? The chaotic spatial dimensions had completely made approaching him a luxury.
More and more "invisible zones" began to spread out from him as the core.
Finally, at the moment when the Axe began to fracture, Lu Ping’an stopped.
He looked up at the sky and revealed a satisfied smile, like a Mischievous Child who succeeded in his prank...
Did Hannah see it? She actually dissipated long ago, and the Soul-binding sculpted from her was made from the residues of spirits wrapped in shrouds... But perhaps even she, as a Heroic Spirit, did not expect that in less than a year, not only had Lu Ping’an replicated this strike "Extinguish Void," its strength had also far exceeded the original creator’s imagination.
Extinguish Void? The preordained limit was to tear through space.
But what Lu Ping’an was stirring, the dimensions, was tearing the world itself...
"How dare you!"
Sudden divine rage resonated in everyone’s hearts.
It wasn’t an individual who was enraged, but the owner of this world.
Above the sky, the clouds tore apart, and the phantom of a Deity with three faces and six eyes glared down in anger.
Rifts began to appear throughout the world, spreading rapidly and strangely. Some unlucky ones were caught in them and then cast out.
The "world" began to collapse, this Secret Realm was about to prematurely reach its end!
Directly destroy the world? Let’s not talk about that being impossible, the mere reaction force could kill the current Lu Ping’an.
But merely punching a hole in the "false world" of this Secret Realm was not something that could stop him, now equipped with the Eye of Truth.
More and more "black screen zones" were appearing in the sky, on the ground, and in the oceans of the Secret Realm. Invisible or seemingly scribbled strange color patches were becoming more abundant, and the entire world seemed like a game riddled with bugs, teetering on the brink of collapse.
This Secret Realm, originally designed with only Decree-level as its upper limit, had overloaded.
"Square, Protective, Immortal."
The Deity’s True Words resounded in everyone’s ears, and, in the next moment, with a flash of light, the whole world was corrected once more.
After the Deity infused power, the world corrected itself, the "holes" that Lu Ping’an had dug were filled, and the black screen zones disappeared one by one. Doomsday had ceased, and it seemed as if the blue sky and white clouds had returned to the mortal realm.
And Lu Ping’an himself? He just stood there silently, with a docile smile on his face, as if everything that had just transpired really had nothing to do with him....
"....Continue....."
Gan Siyi, following the orders of his superiors, announced the continuation with reluctance. He hadn’t expected Lu Ping’an to hide such an ace up his sleeve, capable of unleashing a martial technique with power above the Rule-level, targeting the stability of space itself.
From a procedural standpoint, the venue’s fragility leading to a competitor damaging the venue was naturally the fault of the hosts. Now that they had resolved it with an additional budget, although the emcee would probably take the blame, the competition should continue as if nothing happened...
"....Continue what, damn it, the man has disappeared!"
But when Gan Qianyun really grasped the situation, the emotions he had been deliberately suppressing could only erupt in profanity.
Yes, the man had vanished.
A certain unlucky individual whose fortune had always been low, especially after the field of misfortune further reduced his luck, was closest and unluckiest of all. He was the first to be swept into the fragmented Spatial Rifts and, without even a chance to resist, he was thrown out instantly!
Unfortunate Fei’er disappeared on the spot, and in the arena, only Lu Ping’an watched his treasured possession with a pained expression, seemingly innocent and pure.
"Stop pretending! What’s the point of this?!" the emcee in the sky shouted loudly.
Lu Ping’an smiled, offering no agreement or denial.
At this time, it wasn’t good to take advantage of the situation and still act innocent; he was really asking to be attacked.
If you can’t beat them and don’t want to lose, what do you do? Simply asking the opponent to step out would solve the problem, wouldn’t it?!
".....Just wait, we need to figure out what the result of this match should be."
Fei’er had obviously been thrown out of this Secret Realm, and Lu Ping’an wasn’t adept enough to really throw her into another world; most likely, she’s currently sulking somewhere above the Earth’s oceans.
This kind of "death match" was the Secret Realm’s ultimate extreme; win or lose, there was no such thing as being "outside the ring"....from the outset, no one considered the possibility of a participant being ejected from the Secret Realm mid-match.
Now that it had actually happened, how should it be adjudicated? Under the self-logic of the Secret Realm, this event was doomed to be unresolvable...Fei’er, once reentering the Secret Realm, could only be considered a new "competitor," not a participant in this current match.
The sole participant standing in the ring? Declare him the winner? Not to mention the mechanism couldn’t do it, even if it could, it would clearly violate the spirit of the God of Martial Fight.
"...This match, postponed. Postponed until after the festival."
Alright, after some deliberation, Gan Qianyun finally found a reasonably acceptable solution.
The festival must go on, and the Chain Death Battle cannot stop. But after the festival is over, I will be the emcee again, and you’ll get to have a proper match with Fei’er!
And this particular confrontation itself was naturally regarded as an "error," directly deleted from the Death Battle.
Such cheating behavior would never please the Deities; naturally, it couldn’t receive divine favor, but the "Martial Destiny" on Lu Ping’an had doubled....Fei’er’s disappearance did not take away the "Martial Destiny" she had wagered. This most valuable measure of combat power was directly devoured by Lu Ping’an!
Deep within the "Fate" rules, still standing in the battlefield, was Lu Ping’an—the sole victor of Heroes Win When Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road; he rightfully took it all.
"Is this the feeling of tearing through space?"
Having swung that space-distorting strike, Lu Ping’an, as a Fourth Order Fighter and spatial system Runner, had opened the door for himself.
Behind him lay almost infinite momentum, infinite Martial Destiny, and fortune, propelling him further onwards.
What the Deities wouldn’t give, Lu Ping’an would take for himself!
"...We should first figure out how to deal with Eve and Fei’er. Either side is probably seething by now."
Okay, that’s probably a big problem too.
