Chapter 363: The Abnormal Person Tao Baibai
Bai Cangshu was not mocking him on purpose; he could indeed feel the might of the 【Fullbring】 unleashed by this 【Soul Artificer Xiluo】.
That Fullbring, triggered by surging emotions to manipulate Spirit Particles, was terrifying in scale; the sword light shone for a thousand meters, and this strike was unavoidable—he could not see the process of the sword being drawn at all before he was slashed.
But Bai Cangshu frowned, for he truly felt no effects other than some "superficial wounds."
Whether it was his body, his spirit, or anything else, he could detect absolutely no changes.
Therefore, he calmly asked what kind of ability Xiluo's Fullbring actually was.
Xiluo slowly lowered his right hand, which had been holding the 【Sword of the Heart】 high, his expression also one of shock and suspicion.
His 【Sword of the Heart】 was a sword of karma that could not miss, a sword that would directly slash the opponent's 【Heart】 and 【Soul】;
It would inflict all the pain, torment, and even that sense of "loss" he himself had suffered upon the opponent, doubled.
Before entering the Infinite Dimensional Space, Xiluo himself was a person considered by many to be twisted and pathological; he had lacked love since childhood and held immense affection for anyone who approached him.
Just like a pitiful dog, he would wag his tail in delight whenever anyone came near.
After entering this Infinite Dimensional Space, this trait was fully manifested step by step, transforming into a special talent, and finally, through the "ability of love" that was 【Fullbring】, it became completely substantial.
Xiluo was not lying; he loved every one of his teammates dearly, but precisely because the emotion of "love" was too frequent for him, he wanted to confirm it through the pain of loss.
And every loss would make the 【Sword of the Heart】 more powerful; his next strike could inflict all his own pain into the opponent's body, causing the opponent's spirit to collapse and their soul to be wounded.
Furthermore, the 【Sword of the Heart】 was also a sword of causality; those who killed someone Xiluo cherished could not dodge it, were guaranteed to be struck, and in the opponent's perception, would kill the person they cherished in the same way.
Meilishanzhuo was Xiluo's lover, the person he was attached to, and the person upon whose body he sought the missing, pathological maternal love.
Tao Baibai, who had killed Meilishanzhuo, would theoretically also see his own lover being torn apart in his perception when struck by the 【Sword of the Heart】.
"You have no lover, you have no one you are attached to..."
Xiluo could only arrive at this one explanation; he raised his blade again, and with just a flash of Spiritual Pressure, the blade light passed through his body.
Bai Cangshu had no intention of dodging at all and stood where he was.
Pfft! Pfft!
A cross-shaped sword wound appeared; this time the wound was shallower and did not break Bai Cangshu's bones.
Bai Cangshu realized at this moment that the opponent's Fullbring ability was likely closer to a rule-based type, because he had killed that woman, he could not dodge the sword the opponent used to avenge her, and its power seemed unstoppable, instantly shattering his Armament Haki.
But the effects of these two strikes were much worse.
Bai Cangshu still did not feel any changes.
Xiluo had never realized such a thing could happen.
The two previous strikes corresponded to the pain of losing his father and mother in his childhood; these were the events that had the greatest impact on him, and thus the impact on the mind and soul was also the greatest.
But these two strikes landed on Tao Baibai, and the other party still had no reaction.
"Tao Baibai, you bastard... do you actually have no feelings for your parents either?!"
Xiluo raised his sword to strike again; this Tachi looked heavy, but in reality, after the Fullbring was activated, it had no weight, so the speed of the strikes was far beyond imagination.
But Bai Cangshu still took a step to the left, avoiding this strike.
Xiluo raised his hand again, and as Bai Cangshu exerted force with his toes, the ground exploded with a boom.
Slap!
Before the sword could fall, a hand grabbed Xiluo's arm.
"Such a weak Fullbring."
Xiluo tried to exert force, but he was not a Reincarnator whose strength had broken the Extreme Value; his base strength of 25 points, without any efficiency conversion, was completely crushed by Tao Baibai.
His heart stirred, the blade glowed, and the next moment, this 【Sword of the Heart】 did not need to strike at all; the sword light ignited directly in front of Bai Cangshu.
Bai Cangshu held Xiluo's right arm with his left hand, and a pitch-black Claymore suddenly appeared in his right hand; seeing the sword light descend, he did not dodge or evade, but instead grabbed the 【Black Sword Dragon Slayer】 with one hand and slashed upward in a counter-attack.
Pfft!
The moment Bai Cangshu's Armament Haki on his chest was slashed open again, Xiluo's right arm was also severed.
The 【Black Sword Dragon Slayer】 had a high probability of causing the opponent to lose a limb, but this sword's absorption of Armament Haki was astonishing.
After Bai Cangshu severed the opponent's arm, he gripped the black sword with both hands, turned, and directly smashed the pitch-black greatsword with a heavy, crushing sword stance onto the black Tachi that had fallen from the air.
Bang!
Blue-white Spirit Particles exploded, and blade fragments flew everywhere.
Xiluo could not care about the heartache; he had already appeared a hundred meters away in an instant.
He held his left palm upright, his figure flickering constantly, intense Spirit Particles condensed in his palm, and he began to chant loudly.
【The one who reigns! Mask of flesh and bone, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Truth and temperance, upon this wall of innocent dreams but unleash your claws!】
Way of Destruction No. 33: Blue Fire Crash!
The blue-white Spirit Particles rapidly turned into pale flames, erupting from Xiluo's palm; in just an instant, it exploded like a massive torrent.
As the smoke cleared, the smile on the corner of Bai Cangshu's mouth became more pronounced; he had already noticed one thing.
Xiluo looked at Tao Baibai, who had almost no injuries, and simultaneously realized that when the previous 【Sword of the Heart】 struck, even if it could not cause mental damage, the opponent should have suffered soul pain all the same.
Yet Tao Baibai was completely unaffected.
Combined with the fact that the opponent was also unaffected by his fully chanted No. 33 Ghost Way, there was only one possibility—Tao Baibai's Spiritual Pressure was above his own!
Spirit Particles, as the foundation of an extremely versatile and powerful power system, had one most important characteristic: any ability generated based on Spirit Particles and Spiritual Pressure, no matter how miraculous, would ultimately return to the absolute essence—the essence of the spirit, the essence of Spiritual Pressure.
No matter how exquisite or mysterious an ability was, when faced with a Spiritual Pressure that completely crushed you, to the point where just by standing there, the opponent's soul oppressed your soul until it could hardly continue, the ability generated based on your soul could not affect the opponent either.
After Xiluo understood this point, he kept increasing the distance; he had already realized that he could not defeat Tao Baibai, and even if Pingye were also killed, another guaranteed-hit sword would have no effect.
Bai Cangshu raised his hand, aiming it at Xiluo from afar, and also began to chant, his tone even identical to the one Xiluo had used earlier.
【The one who reigns! Mask of flesh and bone, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Truth and temperance, upon this wall of innocent dreams but unleash your claws!】
Bai Cangshu suddenly felt some kind of extremely surging power moving within his body; that scale was something that even the Killing Intent Wave at the lv4 level could not compare to.
In Bai Cangshu's sea of consciousness, Gojo Satoru and Uchiha Madara were surrounding a man wearing a black mask; this guy who called himself the Millennium Worm had actually entered this sea of consciousness to become a ghost after being killed by that host with a special ability.
They were trying to obtain some Intelligence.
But at this moment, the sea of consciousness shook violently, the pure white space began to become unstable, and a large number of ghosts sensed some kind of terrifying power, their forms becoming unstable.
Xiluo watched as pitch-black Soul power actually appeared before Tao Baibai's palm; although that feeling was completely different from Pale Fire Fall, it was colder and more evil.
How is it possible... that someone could learn the Ghost Way just by watching it once?!
Can Reincarnators learn abilities through this method?!
What kind of joke is this!
Xiluo's face twisted; what Tao Baibai had achieved began to shatter his already unstable nerves.
He suddenly shouted aloud.
"Lord Sage, Tao Baibai has a problem, Tao Baibai is very..."
Pfft!
Xiluo was still Flash-ing backward, but his body was suddenly sliced open out of thin air; his upper body Flash-ed a hundred meters away, while his lower body remained in place.
The pitch-black Soul power in Bai Cangshu's palm had not yet erupted, but five figures had already appeared beside him; the five were of different heights, but all wore half-black and half-white uniforms.
The leader had Xiluo's blood still staining the blade in his hand; he stood at the very back, but his naginata, which exceeded three meters in length, was placed directly in front of Bai Cangshu's neck.
"Don't move, Tao Baibai, I know you have Immortality, but I can already see your miserable appearance after being cut into thousands of pieces by me..."
Bai Cangshu looked at this person; this man was over two meters tall, and a special power swayed on his body like blue smoke; that was probably... Magic Power.
