The loss of his connection to the seven Seven Emotions Puppets ant that the puppets had completely lost their vitality.
They were dead.
All seven puppets had been killed.
Terrifying power. An explosion of this magnitude... Even his true self would likely have to steer clear and wait for that bizarre state to end.
'What's the situation on the ground? Is that guy dead or not?'
Even the middle-aged man himself couldn't be certain of the final outco. In the last mont before his connection to the seven Seven Emotions Puppets was severed, all he could sense was an intense red light and extre heat.
Once the connection was broken, he could no longer gather intelligence from the scene through the puppets.
He imdiately got to his feet, grabbed a pair of binoculars from nearby, and walked briskly to the window to observe the situation on campus.
He had specifically chosen this location for its excellent view, which offered an unobstructed panorama of the battlefield.
However, the battlefield was still shrouded in the aftereffects of the final clash.
Dust, faint glows, and steam obscured his vision, making it impossible for the middle-aged man to see what was happening.
anwhile, Ning Muqing, still prone on the ground, stared nervously at the scene.
Although she was much closer, her view was also obstructed. She could feel the imnse pressure from before dissipating, which ant the clash had ended and a victor had been decided.
'Who won?!'
About ten seconds later, as their magnetic fields receded, the surrounding Natural Magnetic Field gradually cald. The various glows faded, the dark clouds in the sky quickly scattered, and the smoke and steam settled. Only then could she finally see the scene clearly.
The scene was a wreck. The ground for dozens of ters around looked as if it had been shelled, shattered and exposing the soft, dark earth beneath. Nearly all the surrounding trees were broken, and so of the debris was still burning from the intense heat and lightning strikes.
Seven figures lay on the ground. Ning Muqing could only vaguely identify them as human remains, as their condition was simply too grueso.
They had almost no flesh left on them. Their bones and internal organs were destroyed and blackened, their limbs mangled or missing entirely.
This was the aftermath of Celestial Demon Disintegration. During the process, the magnetic field had caused their body tissues to undergo massive Rainbow Transformation, eroding their flesh and destroying their organs. Coupled with Zhou Yuanjue's ferocious assault, it was a small miracle that any human-shaped remains were left at all.
The condition of the other figure, still standing in the middle of the field, was just as wretched.
From the man's build, she could tell it was Zhou Yuanjue, but his appearance was so changed that Ning Muqing couldn't recognize him at all.
The phenonon of Rainbow Transformation had also occurred in Zhou Yuanjue, who had released his own limitations. All the skin on his body had vanished. Nearly half of his powerful muscle mass was gone. His body was scorched black, and the deep tissues, no longer protected by skin, looked as if they had been cooked through by extre heat. If she couldn't faintly sense breathing coming from the humanoid figure, Ning Muqing would have thought Zhou Yuanjue had died taking his enemies with him.
Just as Zhou Yuanjue had predicted, while the state was powerful, the backlash after it ended was equally terrifying.
He had comprehended the focal point of Yin Yang Unity, but he couldn't maintain a perfect dynamic balance. This prevented him from imdiately undergoing Rainbow Transformation when his limits were released, but the imbalance between Life and Death ant his body would still suffer imnse damage.
His physical foundation was, after all, still too weak. The recovery speed of his Yin Fire couldn't keep up with the toll the super-limit Yang Fire took on his body. Furthermore, with his instincts suppressed, his unfamiliarity with controlling his internal organs only compounded the damage.
Even if he wasn't dead, he was barely hanging on by a thread.
Through sheer force of will, Zhou Yuanjue remained standing until the very last mont his powered-up state ended. Finally, he could hold on no longer. As his consciousness rapidly faded, he seized the opportunity to retract his Spirit and release his instincts, entering a state of Nirvana. He let instinct take over his body, mobilizing his remaining Energy to begin self-healing.
Having lost consciousness, his body seed to lose all support. He swayed and toppled backward, falling heavily to the ground.
"Zhou Yuanjue!!"
Seeing this, Ning Muqing's pupils contracted. With a push of her feet, she shot forward like a cheetah.
Sowhere outside Songyang University, the handso middle-aged man also witnessed the scene.
His expression turned completely grim.
Although his opponent was in a wretched state, he knew he wasn't dead.
And for a guy like him, as long as he wasn't confird dead on the spot, he would surely survive.
"Ashen True Spirit, Heart Fire Nirvana... My heart is Immortal, my body shall not perish."
"The Immortal bird..."
'If you don't kill this guy on the spot, if you give him even the slightest chance of survival, he probably won't die.'
The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed as he seed to make a decision.
Today, he would risk exposing his true identity to eliminate that guy and cut off any future threat.
However, just as he was about to lower his binoculars and make his move, he suddenly noticed sothing.
Not far from Songyang University, a dark figure suddenly appeared, approaching the battlefield at incredible speed.
Judging by its speed, this figure would definitely reach the scene before he could if he acted now.
Based on physical prowess alone, this person definitely had the strength of the Saint Awakening Level.
The mont he saw the figure, the middle-aged man knew who it was.
In this critical region of the Northern Three Prefectures, there was likely only one person who possessed Saint Awakening Level strength and dared to act so openly.
The Secret Inspection Bureau's Northern Guardian.
Sure enough, after this figure appeared, vehicles suddenly sward the surrounding streets, forming a loose blockade.
The people from the Secret Inspection Bureau, having received Ning Muqing's report, had finally arrived.
The entire confrontation, from standoff to battle, had taken no more than five minutes. The Secret Inspection Bureau's response had been swift enough.
He'd lost his chance.
The mont he saw the Northern Guardian and the Secret Inspection Bureau agents appear, the middle-aged man knew his opportunity was gone.
This was Donghua territory, after all. Even if he was First Generation Level, he still had a physical body. Once exposed, he would be in grave danger if surrounded and attacked.
Most importantly, although the Northern Guardian was no match for him, this was the Guardian's ho turf. If his opponent was determined to rescue the man and flee, there was little he could do to stop it.
At that point, not only would he fail to eliminate Zhou Yuanjue, but his identity would likely be exposed, and all his preparations would go to waste.
'The Immortal bird... Zhou Yuanjue...'
'Next ti, I'd like to see if you're truly Immortal!'
'Besides, can you really turn this entire situation around all by yourself?'
'This is an unstoppable tide. It won't change just for one person!'
The middle-aged man took a deep breath. His expression shifted for a mont before he once again put on his eternally gentle smile. He straightened his clothes, restored the room to its original state, then opened the door and walked out.
