Chapter 1679: Extreme Combat

At this moment, the Red Dust Sovereign felt as if two meat grinders had been stuffed into her lungs. Unprecedented suffocation and pain flooded her mind. She spat out a mouthful of blood and fell powerlessly downward...

The air density accumulated in her lungs had completely exceeded the upper limit that a carbon-based organism could accept. In just half a second, her lungs were directly ruptured.

Lingxu Sovereign knew that all physical and energy attacks would be resolved by string theory, so he started from within the Red Dust Sovereign’s body. This attack, like the Red Dust Sovereign’s threads just now, completely exceeded the other party’s expectations.

Lingxu Sovereign, who had lost an arm, was not having a good time either. Even though he had temporarily slowed his blood flow, the toxins that had accumulated in his body took effect as the blood slowed. His whole body was visibly becoming drowsy, and his skin took on a dark luster.

Just then, a drop of silver substance, like rainwater, streaked across the sky!

Lingxu Sovereign seemed to have sensed something. He raised his right hand and pressed forward. The speed formula of the object’s movement was tampered with again, directly freezing the "water drop" in front of him.

Lingxu Sovereign frowned, guarding against the "water drop." The next second, the water drop, whose speed had been weakened to near "0," instantly extended forward. The substance, originally the size of a raindrop, expanded into a giant steel claw of unknown material, directly wrapping Lingxu Sovereign in the center!

As the sharp giant claw gripped and contracted, Lingxu Sovereign snorted coldly. One hand pressed directly onto the surface of the giant claw, and as the density formula was activated again, the giant claw was torn into pieces like thin, brittle paper!

Then, those flying fragments of the giant claw erupted with scorching light simultaneously, like miniature suns, exploding with a bang!!

Boom boom boom boom—!!

The world-destroying explosion shrouded the sky again, illuminating the Imaginary World in a vast whiteness.

A weak figure in a black robe fell toward the earth like a meteorite. At this moment, Wuji Jun had lost half his body, his eyes fixed on the firelight of the explosion above, his brow filled with unwillingness.

Wuji Jun hadn't actually been injured by Lingxu Sovereign. The reason he only had half a body was that the other half had been consumed in the repeated conversion of materials to use nuclear explosions...

Wuji Jun could indeed perform material conversion as he pleased, but he couldn't create matter out of thin air. If he were in the real world, he wouldn't have the problem of being consumed, as there was earth and buildings everywhere—an inexhaustible supply. But in this Imaginary World where no matter existed, he was like someone cut off from all supplies, forced to use his own body as fuel.

Lingxu Sovereign dragged them into this Imaginary World precisely to limit Wuji Jun, as his "infinite rebirth" was simply too terrifying...

To kill Wuji Jun, one had to choose a battlefield where no matter existed, making it impossible for him to regenerate using matter.

The scorching sun in the sky gradually dimmed, and a gray monk-robed figure stepped out of the nuclear explosion range once again, unscathed, falling toward the earth...

“Your nuclear explosion cannot hurt me.” Lingxu Sovereign said indifferently. “When you exhaust yourself, that will be your death day...”

“Perhaps.” Wuji Jun replied calmly. “But perhaps, you will die earlier than me.”

Lingxu Sovereign frowned, and just as he was about to say something, scarlet blood flowed from his seven orifices...

He wiped his face, only to find his pale palm covered in blood. At the same time, an unprecedented sense of dizziness flooded his heart.

“What... did you do??” Lingxu Sovereign asked hoarsely.

“I knew the nuclear explosion was ineffective against you, so why would I consume myself to detonate it? Am I crazy?” Wuji Jun sneered. “That was just a smokescreen to attract your attention... My real killing move is elsewhere.”

Lingxu Sovereign seemed to realize something, his face looking incredibly ugly:

“It was that claw... was that radioactive material?”

“Its radioactivity is ten times that of polonium. Even for you, the moment you touch it, all your internal organs will decay rapidly...”

Lingxu Sovereign suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, his bloodshot eyes locking onto Wuji Jun again!

“Want to kill me... it’s not that easy!”

He pointed a finger, and the street where Wuji Jun was located suddenly seemed to come alive. Countless formulas surged toward him like a tsunami. In the face of this chaotic and disordered mathematical law, Wuji Jun was like a grasshopper swept away by a flood, flying toward the distance at high speed.

Only then did Lingxu Sovereign relax slightly. He lowered his head and spat out a few more mouthfuls of blood, trying hard to recall what formulas in his mind could help his organs delay aging, and began to write and draw on the surface of his body rapidly.

Amidst the surging torrent.

Chaotic light intertwined around Wuji Jun. Cold and heat alternated like two out-of-control poles. Explosions from unknown sources echoed in Wuji Jun’s ears, and his body was torn into pieces by countless mathematical formulas.

Just as Wuji Jun’s consciousness was gradually blurring,

The ripples of "strings" spread out, and a fair palm reached into the torrent, grabbed Wuji Jun’s neck, and pulled him up forcefully!

The Red Dust Sovereign, her clothes stained with blood, stood on the void in a sorry state, holding Wuji Jun, who only had a head and half a chest left, and staggered away from the direction of the street...

“Cough, cough, cough, cough...”

The Red Dust Sovereign coughed violently as she walked.

If not for the human embroidery map in her body that barely helped her repair some of the ruptured lung lobes, the Red Dust Sovereign would probably be a corpse by now. However, even so, her physical state was extremely poor.

Her human embroidery map was also one of her killing moves. In the few chances of winning she had preset, this move had the potential to pierce the embroidery threads directly into the heart and kill Lingxu Sovereign... It was just a pity that Lingxu Sovereign only lost an arm for it.

The same trick probably wouldn't work a second time.

Wuji Jun looked at the Red Dust Sovereign who had saved him out of the corner of his eye and spoke slowly:

“You…”

“Why did you save me?”

“Because Wu Tongyuan is not dead yet.” Lord Red Dust’s voice was incomparably cold. “Even if I loathe you, right now, you still have value to be utilized.”

“I wiped out your realm, killed your people, and even fought your lover.”

“Shut up!!”

“You can kill me with your own hands.”

“Lou Yu, you think too highly of yourself… and you underestimate me too much.” Lord Red Dust paused for a moment.

“Even if we were once mortal enemies, we are comrades-in-arms now. I have emotions, but that cannot affect what we must do… Everything, for the sake of humanity.”

Lord Wuji watched Lord Red Dust’s icy expression in silence. After a long while, he gently closed his eyes… and let out a long sigh.

“Poisoned, injured, severed arm, organ failure… He should be at his limit by now as well.”

“We will coordinate one last time. Whether we can kill him or not, we leave it to fate.”
