...
To be honest, Yun You isn't having a great ti at the mont.
Ever since Shen Ye unleashed his ultimate move, the flas surrounding him have ford a barrage network covering half the sky, continuously hurling compressed fireballs at Yun You.
Each fireball isn't particularly powerful, equivalent to the destructive power of heavy artillery at most, and can be completely defended against.
But their sheer number is overwhelming. If she stays on the defensive, Yun You will never have a chance to attack, slowly being forced into a corner, with her movents compressed.
Thus, sotis she has to brace through the fireballs to launch an attack on Shen Ye using her Phantom Blade Man skills.
But the problem is, Shen Ye doesn't fear any form of damage right now.
Just earlier, Yun You sliced open Shen Ye's skull, even injuring his cerebellum and central nervous system, but he only zoned out for a few seconds before filling the injured body tissue with flas, regaining consciousness.
Though Yun You knows this is rely a temporary recovery, not true healing, she realizes it is truly challenging to take down Shen Ye at this mont.
But...
It's okay.
Yun You grinned, her fighting spirit surging even more!
In fact, after eliminating Hikamu and advancing her sequence to Tier Three, her physique rapidly improved like a wild horse freed from reins, reaching the peak of Tier Three within just a few minutes.
At first, she was puzzled about why her progress was so swift. But she soon understood.
It's all thanks to the Floating Island incident.
The day she absorbed the projection of Karma Remnant Buddha on the island, most of that power healed her wounds but a small portion was stored within her body through so unclear principle.
When her physique hit the bottleneck due to sequence limitations, the energy remained dormant, silent, but once Yun You broke through the bottleneck, it imdiately transford into her strength.
Yun You sensed that even after her physique reached the peak of Tier Three, there was still a considerable amount of unused energy stored in her body.
The promotion in the Apprentice Death God's sequence level differs from the cultivation depicted in novels and movies; there is no such thing as "superficial realm".
The Death God Sequence is incredibly realistic; it allows even a young child with no life experiences and insights to advance if they et its objective criteria.
Conversely, if one does not et its standards, even those with vast life experiences cannot break through.
So, simply put, Yun You's direct growth from Tier Two peak to Tier Three peak won't have any "damage" to her foundations even if she leaps to Tier Four or Five.
As for combat effectiveness... that's solely reliant on the Death God's battle experience. The more one fights, the stronger they beco.
Now, standing at the peak of Tier Three, Yun You feels the signs of a bottleneck shaking again during this fierce battle with Shen Ye. And what shakes this ti is the hardest "Lord Sequence" bottleneck to break — spiritual transformation.
This clearly indicates that fighting Shen Ye to the end is what she truly desires in her heart.
Apprentice Death Gods can possess various personalities, but to beco strong, or rather all strong individuals, they undoubtedly share one common ntal trait.
That is — following one's heart.
Yun You laughed boldly, while enduring three fireballs, she forced herself close to Shen Ye, swung the Red Scale Scimitar at Shen Ye's torso.
"Swish——!"
No surprises, Shen Ye and the flas around him were severed in half by Yun You, with blood and marrow gushing out...
But the next mont, new flas wrapped around the wound, reattaching it.
Shen Ye retaliated with a palm strike, directly hitting Yun You's shoulder...
The girl was imdiately sent flying backward, with her shoulder blade shattered, retreating dozens of ters before barely stabilizing herself.
The strike resulted in an evenly matched exchange, where neither benefited much.
However, Yun You could feel Shen Ye's fla temperature slowly declining; he couldn't last much longer.
Shen Ye was also aware of this.
Thus, for once, he did not chase Yun You with more fireballs, but paused for a mont, then suddenly gathered all the surrounding flas to form a massive longbow over three ters long.
"Continuing to burn ti is aningless."
"Since that's the case, let's end this conflict with a single move."
Shen Ye drew the longbow, pulling hard as the surrounding flas transford into an orange glow, climbing up his body, converging from his arm to his fingertips into a substantial fla arrow.
Unlike previous "Sniper Style" arrows, this new fla arrow was thicker, with a blue energy stream mixed into the arrow head.
This was no re plasma, but a display of nuclear fusion; its internal pressure and high temperature could already artificially generate fusion reactors!
"It's the final form of lting Furnace Style — the 'Solar Shooting Longbow'!"
On the stands, Vitinya's pupils shrunk, recognizing the move once more.
"Three years ago, Brother Shen used this move to burn Jiang Changfeng and his thirty plus brothers into ashes..."
Tang Jin leaned back leisurely in his chair.
"Now, it's ti for our junior sister to face this move."
"Let's see what kind of ace the old master enlisted in his repertoire."
...
Feeling the surging heat wave, Yun You shielded her body with hands, continually pushed back by the heat, contemplating deeply.
This Shen Ye truly has developed his ability to the fullest, even capable of hand-crafting thermo-nuclear fusion.
Such individuals, no matter the era or place, are undeniable geniuses, capable of influencing countless destinies.
Yet, sadly, in this chaotic era, he cannot fully control his own destiny.
It is sowhat lantable thinking about it.
Yet, Yun You doesn't dwell on it much.
Her task now is to exert her all as well.
"Once more, Jiali, I seek your aid."
"Please lend your strength."
With those words, Yun You shut her eyes, put away the Red Scale weapon, deftly pinched her fingers into an incantation gesture, and began reciting a series of cryptic "Ancient Spells".
Then she extended her hands above and below, assuming the "Valve Grasp" posture.
With the incantations flowing from Yun You's mouth, an invisible, intangible power erged not far behind.
...
"Eh? Why has the sky turned white?"
Above the Great Colosseum, spectators suddenly noticed the starry sky overhead vanishing without warning.
Instead, it was replaced by an expanse of white barren land.
It reflected in the sky without any clue of how it appeared.
"Wait, this... this looks like the moon?!"
Finally, so keen-eyed spectators had their eyes widen with realization that this wasn't so strange land or unknown planet.
It was Earth's satellite — the Moon.
Yet...
Why would the Moon appear here?
People struggled to comprehend.
Shen Ye was equally bewildered.
He blankly stared at the moon above him; this familiar full moon that he sees almost nightly when he gazes up.
Yet, sohow, this Moon seed strangely unfamiliar to him.
It felt unlike a re celestial body, more like an entity cloaked in lunar guise — sothing else entirely.
"This move, I'm using it for the second ti."
Yun You slowly opened her eyes, the corners of her mouth curling into a smile.
"Let it be the epilogue to your tale."
Carefully twisting the invisible "valve" in her hands, she turned it upside down completely, leaving behind a soft spoken phrase.
"Heaven and Earth... Revolve——"
