Chapter 2231: Revelations and Unfoldings



Rui and his opponent fell to one knee as they recuperated from the devastating attacks that they landed on each other.

Rui ravaged her abdomen with a single Yin-Yang Spear. The potent grade-ten technique had shattered her ribs like twigs, leaving her unable to move her upper body very well while her broken ribcage pierced her lunges and other tissue, causing internal hemorrhaging.

On the other hand, Rui bled profusely on the outside through a gash that dug inches deep into his abdomen.

The wound had extended to multiple vitals, truly incapacitating him from moving. Furthermore, he had lost a large amount of blood, bringing him to the brink of losing consciousness.

A critical wound, one that would kill most Martial Artists.

Not Rui, however.

He deactivated Neo Godspeed, activating Weaving Blood.

The wound began healing at remarkable speeds, yet not even.

Yet, Rui's expression grew severe.

Unlike Neo Godspeed, Weaving Blood was a technique whose consumption of power did not increase with time but with damage.

Healing critical wounds was no different from abusing Neo Godspeed for extended periods of time.

Furthermore, he had been fighting quite heavily in the war, having consumed an immense amount of stamina. He abused his domains and the Yin-Yang Spear many times, both of which were quite energy-draining.

'... Once this wound is healed, I probably can't use the Metabody System anymore.' His eyes sharpened. "Guess I'll have to defeat you regardless."

His opponent smiled when she heard those words as she slowly recovered from her wounds. "I must admit, you have surpassed my highest expectations of you. I truly did not expect you to be able to fight me off to this extent at the meager age of forty-one. Your talent is... envious. It makes me wonder what was even the point of all those decades I dedicated my everything to reaching the pinnacle of swordsmanship."

Her eyes darkened as they both slowly recovered from their grave wounds.

She closed her eyes. "I, too, was once called a genius. However, in comparison to you, I may as well be ordinary."

He simply met her gaze silently.

"This feeling..." she whispered. "You're the second person to make me feel this way."

Rui's eyes narrowed his words.

"You're the second person with gifts so absurd that the very concept of talent becomes meaningless." Her tone grew resentful. "Your unfathomable potential. Your rate of growth. Even the color of your hair and eyes. It reminds me of him."

Her grip over her sword tightened as she gritted her teeth.

"Ahaha~" she danced around the heavens with a cheerful expression.

It was a facade.

Inwardly, she was quite tense.

Her movements grew slower and slower with each passing moment as he continued elevating the local region of land over which they fought. Due to the thinning air, each step she took

only offered so much speed, forcing to narrowly dodge each of his attacks.

In fact, if not for the highly irrational state of mind, she would have been caught by his net of attacks long ago, resulting in her defeat.

That was just how strong he was.

This was a man who had reached the peak of the Master Realm with his sheer power and

energy reserves.

He was not to be trifled with.

More so than she realized.

RUMBLE!!!

Chills crawled up her spine as the entire tower and all the land below it shook. Her expression grew grave as she felt an unfathomable amount of power building up in the tower, and it

began glowing across its entire body.

Glowing from the sheer amount of white-hot lava contained in the entire structure.

"Hehehe," A gruesome grin appeared on Master Satva's face. "I have to admit you got me. I

have never lost this much control over myself in my entire life. But, did you really think it would be that easy to defeat me?"

His eyes flared with even greater fury. "I'M THE APOSTLE OF GAIA, WENCH! NOW, FACE MY

GREATEST ATTACK!"

His rage grew with his power.

"GRAND TERRANOVA FLARE!"

BOOOOOOOOOM!!
