The second page of the Ancient Book of Life and Death represents the power of annihilation. Ming Qi, realizing that the power of samsara was no match for Wuji, decisively activated the power of annihilation. However, he was not yet familiar with the annihilation on the second page, so he was extremely cautious.
Compared to the power of samsara, the power of annihilation relies heavily on the power of the artifact spirit to unleash its true power. The King of Life and Death was currently very powerful, so Ming Qi was not worried.
Retreating several hundred meters, carefully monitoring the changes in the Book of Life and Death, Ming Qi simultaneously glanced at Wuji in the distance.
Wuji would not give him a moment to breathe. He charged forward, closing in on him in the blink of an eye. The massive black and white halo behind him once again condensed into a massive blade of light, causing the churning sea to turn upside down before it even subsided.
Ming Qi suddenly moved, swiftly darting towards the surface. Although movement in the water was unimpeded, it would affect his combat effectiveness. Wuji was formidable, and he must fight with all his might.
Seeing Ming Qi trying to escape, Wuji swung his light blade in pursuit. The massive blade remained in his grasp, slashing repeatedly, stirring the seawater to a boil.
Soon, the two emerged from the water, one in front of the other, stabilizing themselves hundreds of meters in the air.
Watching Wuji catching up, Ming Qi, without hesitation, swung the Book of Life and Death, sending a nearly indistinguishable beam of light whistling forth.
The power of annihilation, nearly invisible, rapidly expanded as it flew, converging towards Wuji's massive light blade. Simultaneously, the massive figure of the King of Life and Death materialized in mid-air.
"Artifact spirit?"
Seeing the shadow of the King of Life and Death floating beside Ming Qi, Wuji frowned and, upon catching sight of the Book of Life and Death in Ming Qi's hand, a thought struck him. He then remembered a person he had met upon arriving in this world, who seemed to be the spirit of the Book of Life and Death.
"Did you kill that person?"
Wuji asked, his hand still pulsing as the massive light blade sliced down his head. The blade of light and the force of annihilation collided violently, instantly tearing open a vast swath of space.
The force of annihilation was instantly shattered, but Wuji's blade of light remained concentrated and didn't dissipate, merely shortening by two or three times. Clearly, this level of attack wasn't enough for Wuji.
After his initial strike proved fruitless, Wuji continued his offensive, his form shifting constantly to generate divine power. The massive blade of light in his hand expanded once more, its brilliance dazzling.
Ming Qi remained silent, his Book of Life and Death trembling repeatedly. Bolts of annihilation, driven by divine power, flew forth, condensing in all directions towards Wuji.
He had only recently acquired the Book of Life and Death, having spent most of it repairing it within the divine diagram space. Therefore, he was still somewhat unskilled in its use, especially with the second page, which he needed to familiarize himself with. Only by thoroughly mastering the control of power could he wield it flexibly and unleash its full potential.
For just a few minutes, Ming Qi, aside from continuously wielding the power of annihilation, performed no other immortal arts. He simply shifted and maneuvered with Wuji, his massive blade of light slashing and slashing. The two of them battled through the sky, covering thousands of miles in a short space of time, tearing through space wherever they passed. It was a spectacular sight.
When he felt he had barely adapted to the power of annihilation, Ming Qi slowed his pace and began to frantically channel his divine power into it.
The power of annihilation on the second page of the Book of Life and Death possessed extremely powerful immortal arts, and Ming Qi was now able to unleash one of its techniques.
As divine power gushed frantically, the shadow of the King of Life and Death beside him transformed into a stream of light, merging directly into the Book of Life and Death. Then, a faint white glow rose from the pages of the Book of Life and Death, and instantly solidified into a blade.
Book of Life and Death, Second Page, annihilation strike.
The blade rapidly gathered substance, and Ming Qi felt his divine power rapidly draining, soon depleting nearly 50%!
The Blade of Annihilation condensed, and Ming Qi locked onto Wuji.
Because the Blade of Annihilation was not only fueled by Ming Qi's divine power, but also by the spirit of the Life and Death King, once it was unleashed, it would remain locked onto its target. Even if it reached the heavens or the earth, it would never return until it hit its target.
Ming Qi had heard of earth-shattering, great immortal arts that, once unleashed, could transcend the barriers of time and space, never turning back until the goal was achieved. Now, looking at the Blade of Annihilation again, he suddenly felt an inexplicable fear. What if someone were to use such a great immortal art to attack him one day?
He had feared for his own life countless times. Any living thing, whether human, animal, or even a god, could not live forever. Without immortality, they would always fear the moment of their end. No one wanted to die, not even gods.
As Jiemie struck out, Wuji suddenly felt an unprecedented pressure. The enormous blade of light in his hand suddenly doubled in size, already a hundred feet long, expanding to two or three hundred feet. Turbulent energy surged across the blade.
"Come on! A fight to the death! Hahahahaha!"
Feeling the immense pressure, Wuji felt no trace of fear. Instead, he felt inexplicably excited. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he'd felt this way. The loneliness of drifting in the void even made him feel like he was no longer alive.
And now, with someone who could pose a threat to him, he was thrilled!
The black and white halo transformed into a stream of light, merging with the blade. The next moment, Wuji swung the blade towards the oncoming blade.
The two figures instantly swung rapidly in the air. This was a clash of immortal arts. Their goals were aligned. Fancy magical clashes were unnecessary. Only a single strike would determine victory or defeat, a single blow to decide life or death!
Wuji advanced, while Mingqi retreated in a circuitous manner. Wuji seemed to have sensed the power of Mingqi's strike, so he zeroed in on the blade of the Silence Blade.
Mingqi's retreat was simple: the Silence Blade would never return until it achieved its target. This meant that unless Wuji completely neutralized the Silence Blade's power, it would surely block his path.
Taking a step further, if Wuji still had enough energy left after blocking the Silence Blade, then for Mingqi, today's battle was over.
The blade and the light blade met in a flash, and the entire sky darkened. Immediately, the point of impact spun rapidly, and a vortex appeared in an instant, with a massive torrent of energy rushing madly into the vortex.
The two clashed with each other, creating a black hole. Had the blow been more powerful, this single blow would have caused irreparable damage to the Tianhuang world.
The surging energy flow lasted for a few seconds, and then a blade emerged from the turbulent energy flow, piercing towards Wuji.
Seeing this, Ming Qi felt at ease. Jiemie's blade had broken Wuji's cycle of reincarnation; he was already defeated!
Thinking of this, Ming Qi moved, swiftly dashing towards Wuji.
