Chapter 524

But Jie Ming's fist did indeed disintegrate, yet his attack and destructive power were not "judged invalid"!

That disintegrated arm still smashed up with destructive energy, and that disintegrated fist could instantly reorganize, as if his "attack" itself had become a continuous process that could not be covered by a single "result"!

"This guy—"

The black-robed wizard had no time to think, Jie Ming's fourth punch had already wrapped in more scorching dark golden light, like a pile driver, slamming heavily onto the invisible barrier that was already full of cracks!

Boom!!!

In the deafening energy explosion, that absolute defense constructed by the 【Fiction】 law, which theoretically was enough to withstand the frontal attacks of most Tier 6 wizards, shattered under Jie Ming's continuous, increasingly strong violent fist momentum!

The dark golden fist edge, carrying the destructive power remaining after breaking the barrier, printed solidly on the black-robed wizard's left cheek!

"Pfft!"

The black-robed wizard's head, as if hit head-on by a siege hammer, tilted backward violently at an abnormal angle!

Half of his cheek, along with his mandible, exploded and shattered instantly under this punch containing the extreme destructive power of Li Li Huo Mie Jue Divine Light!

Blood and energy residue mixed and splashed out!

His body, for the first time in this battle, lost control.

Like a broken sack, he was blasted backward by this huge force, carving a deep trench hundreds of meters long on the ground before barely stopping.

The black-robed wizard—was injured.

Since the battle began, this was the first time he had actually suffered damage.

Jie Ming did not pursue immediately.

He floated in place, looking down at his right arm that had just delivered that decisive strike.

The light of the entire arm was at least 30% dimmer than before, and some areas of the dark golden "skin" even appeared semi-transparent and virtual, vaguely seeing the turbulent energy vortices flowing inside.

"Hoo—" he exhaled lightly, "There is still a gap between theory and reality, there are still quite a few conflicts inside when actually running—"

In the Cave Heaven in his body, the cross-space energy transmission system that had been on standby long ago switched the power supply mode instantly.

The Tier 7 large elemental pool of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane injected massive amounts of pure elemental energy into Jie Ming's body across the void through the incense divine path.

Then, through the energy convergence module of the Return to Ruins Armor in the Light God Transformation architecture, it was rapidly converted into the destructive energy required by the Li Li Huo Mie Jue Divine Light.

The dim arm re-condensed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The virtual areas were filled with stable energy flow, and the dark golden luster gradually returned to its original state.

Jie Ming clenched his fist, feeling the power re-filling his body.

At the same time, he also took advantage of this brief pause to quickly adjust and repair several small architectural conflicts caused during the limit output just now by relying on the fine manipulation of "self-information" by the Causality Tracing Shadow Technique.

"Alright."

He raised his eyes again, looking at the figure slowly standing up from the rubble pit in the distance.

The black-robed wizard raised his hand and touched his half-face that had been beaten to a pulp.

The entire head had completely disappeared by half, leaving only a bloody wound.

The next instant, like skipped frames in video playback, the state of his entire head refreshed.

Bones reset, flesh regenerated, skin healed, and even the blood stains splashed on the collar disappeared out of thin air.

He returned to his original state, only his face was terribly gloomy.

Jie Ming didn't give him more breathing room.

The dark golden figure rushed forward at the speed of light again.

The black-robed wizard no longer defended passively this time.

A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he advanced instead of retreating, meeting him head-on!

【Fiction】—"This counterattack, the enemy's contact part collapses and disintegrates!"

The result was defined.

Fists collided.

Invisible law power and dark golden destructive energy collided head-on, the shockwaves generated scraping three feet off the surrounding thousands of meters of ground!

Jie Ming's fist, at the moment of contact, shattered without suspense.

Energy fragments splashed, the entire palm along with half the forearm turned into nothingness.

However, just when the black-robed wizard thought this counterattack would end with the opponent "breaking his arm to survive" again—

Jie Ming's already disintegrated arm, along with that bare broken wrist that hadn't had time to reorganize, still stuck to his fist edge as if it had taken root!

And the sharp energy turbulence at the edge of disintegration left several fine cuts on his fist surface!

Even more terrifying was that Jie Ming's other fist had already slammed toward his face without any obstruction!

The black-robed wizard was shocked and angry, forcibly mobilizing the remaining quota, and "defined" the result of "self-arm completing defensive posture" at the last moment!

Pfft!

Jie Ming's left fist shattered the right arm that the black-robed wizard had hastily set up!

Dark red flesh and law fragments exploded in the dark golden light!

The black-robed wizard flew backward again.

And Jie Ming's shattered right fist, in the process of him flying backward, was like time flowing backward, fragments rolling back,

Reorganized, re-condensing into a complete fist edge.

The black-robed wizard stabilized his figure, looking at his beaten-up right arm, the shock in his eyes finally hard to suppress.

He was too familiar with this pattern.

Before, when he was fighting Jie Ming, the opponent used this tactic of "using a shattered arm to withstand attacks in exchange for counterattack opportunities."

Gradually adapting to his 【Fiction】 power, finally realizing the evolution from "collapsing at one strike" to "barely able to withstand."

But now, the same tactic, the effect was worlds apart!

At that time, Jie Ming's shattered arm could at most serve as a "shield" to absorb damage, buying him time to escape.

But now, this shattered arm could still cause substantial damage to him!

But—why?

Why could the elementalized body still retain this characteristic?!

He stared fixedly at Jie Ming's dark golden body, the detection characteristics of the 【Fiction】 law fully open, frantically analyzing the mystery within.

And then, he perceived it.

Deep inside this body composed of Li Li Huo Mie Jue Divine Light, there existed a—core.

Not an energy core, not a soul core.

But a mass of extremely compressed, highly encrypted information-state existence—that was Jie Ming's true self!

His flesh, his soul, everything about him, was compressed in that mass of information.

And this terrifying dark golden body outside was, in essence, the "outer garment" worn by that mass of information!

An inference flashed through his mind like lightning:

This meant that every attack of this body right now was not just an energy bombardment of Li Li Huo Mie Jue Divine Light, but a "complete projection" of Jie Ming's full strength—including his physical strength that had evolved countless times and could already withstand the erosion of the 【Fiction】 law—after being converted by this layer of "energy outer garment"!

That is to say, this posture of this guy in front of him still had extremely strong resistance to his own law!

And Jie Ming, at this moment, was looking at him quietly from hundreds of meters away.

In those dark golden vortex-like pupils, there was clearly a kind of satisfaction of having completed the established goal.

This was the most special place of the Light God Transformation system: the seemingly elementalized body, actually relying on the loading of information, still inherited everything of his physical body.

Among which the most important, naturally, was the various resistances tempered through the Body Refining Method!

Thus, at this moment, he was both the incarnation of the destructive energy of Li Li Huo Mie Jue Divine Light, and still the Jie Ming who had fought the black-robed wizard for ten minutes, becoming stronger with every disintegration.

Energy and flesh.

Destruction and resilience.

He combined them into one.

The black-robed wizard finally understood.

The source of his own danger premonition.

Every inch of flesh and blood of that young man destroyed before was a ladder to evolution; every edge of near-death was a paving for this counterattack at this moment.

Jie Ming clenched his fist slowly, feeling the surging power coming from this body that perfectly fused "destruction" and "resilience."

He looked at the black-robed wizard, his voice calm, yet carrying a sharpness suppressed for a long time: "Kept you waiting."

"Now, it's my turn to attack."
