Chapter 399: Heart Fire

"If the God Kingdom is unsealed, my brother will definitely win... right?"

Yingshan Ritsu was extremely shaken; he and Bai Cangshu were already standing on the outer perimeter of that plant which resembled a giant Broccoli.

If not for him leading the way, Bai Cangshu would likely never have found the path to enter here unless he activated the 【Super Limit Spiral】.

Time and space in the Spirit World are not restricted by the real world, so the terrain and obstacles seen by the naked eye have no meaning here; likewise, places invisible to the naked eye also contain impassable barriers.

The two bypassed various spatial shackles via a peculiar route and finally arrived at the periphery of this strange plant.

Here, Bai Cangshu could already sense the extremely intense scent of 【Soul】, and merely by approaching this place, he felt a sense of peace.

The master of this world, that 【Spirit World Evil Lord】, had imbued this place with a certain powerful force, allowing all souls entering here to receive shelter and gain peace of mind.

Simply put, souls entering here would receive "Purification"; the negative emotions within the soul would be excised, and impurities would also be cleansed to a certain degree.

Bai Cangshu looked up at this creation almost entirely condensed from Spirit Ability, truly marveling at what the top-tier Plot Characters of this world were capable of.

Compared to the Reincarnators in the space at the current progress, Bai Cangshu believed the Plot Characters of this world were even more powerful.

Not to mention Saitama, even Kageyama Shigeo, Tatsumaki, and others who fully manifested their power were likely not people that the top-tier Reincarnators in the space could easily challenge.

From the series of arrangements by 【Fate Eternal】, Bai Cangshu could feel that he was consciously avoiding taking action himself, avoiding becoming a target for these top-tier Plot Characters.

If the Supreme One were truly able to surpass the Plot Characters of this world—excluding Saitama—then the other party should have had a better, more convenient plan.

For the first time, Bai Cangshu felt the distance between himself and the current peak of the Reincarnation Space.

At the same time, he was very clear that Reincarnators are a special kind of "Short-lived Species" transcendent lifeform, with a survival cycle far shorter than any known Transcendent Creature.

Based on the Intelligence he currently knew, Reincarnators were deployed in cycles of 5 days to one month; calculating by the rule that Reincarnators could die in a mission world at any time, Reincarnators were a group of creatures whose lives could be measured in units of 【Heaven】 or 【Month】.

Of course, the flip side of this Short-lived Species was an incomparable growth rate.

Reincarnators possessed a growth system and speed far exceeding any Transcendent Creature; the ability to directly seize the fruits of other creatures' cultivation in the form of 【Information】 and rapidly strengthen oneself was something other Transcendental beings could hardly imagine.

A Reincarnator could very likely gain a massive increase in strength after a single mission deployment, and if lucky, could even directly cross tiers to complete a transformation.

Therefore, the combat power level of the 【Reincarnator】 group was actually always in a state of Wave, with the overall strength of Reincarnators fluctuating within a certain range based on the current deployment rhythm of the space.

Because Bai Cangshu was previously a newcomer and his perspective was not broad enough, he had never been entirely clear about the strength of upper-level Reincarnators.

What exactly could true powerhouses achieve nowadays?

But with the 【End Empire】 challenging the established order in the real world, and the 【Supreme One】 also appearing in this mission world,

Bai Cangshu was finally able to lift that veil.

He was certain that the current 【Supreme One】 was likely around the level of Tatsumaki and Kageyama Shigeo—not much stronger, but not much weaker either.

Of course, he did not know what secrets lay in the frequency of mission deployments or the so-called 【Native World】 once one reached the level of the 【Supreme One】, and he could not judge the speed at which the 【Supreme One】s' strength changed.

But at least, given his current rate of becoming stronger...

The 【Supreme One】 was not unreachable.

"Heh, I thought it would be a bit more unfathomable..."

Bai Cangshu licked his lips, his eyes greedy and fervent.

He impatiently nudged Yingshan Ritsu, barely hiding his covetousness for the 【God Kingdom】 built by Kageyama Shigeo.

"Hurry and open the God Kingdom, boy, your brother is waiting."

Yingshan Ritsu was completely panicked by now; Kageyama Shigeo's God Kingdom would not block him. He reached out his hand, and the giant Broccoli immediately trembled as if a crack were about to split open from within.

"Stop!"

A voice full of vigor came from afar.

Bai Cangshu lowered his eyelids, his whole body beginning to radiate undisguised malice.

In the Spirit World, the feeling of this pure emotion radiating was incredibly obvious; his malice dripped toward the surroundings like liquid with a pitch-black luster.

Bai Cangshu turned his head indifferently, looking at the foolish man with one arm severed at the elbow, wondering how he had also arrived at this place.

Yunque was wrapped in golden specks of light, his fighting spirit surging; the energy of the Little Universe meant that even in the Spirit World, he still had not suffered any damage.

Moreover, his aura was biting and cold at this moment, his Little Universe already beginning to burn; he did not fear the Demon-like aura of Tao Baibai at all.

Yingshan Ritsu saw the person who had arrived, his movements pausing as he looked back.

"Continue opening the God Kingdom, boy, that is the only thing you can do."

Yingshan Ritsu heard that the "enthusiastic" big brother's voice from before had turned icy; he was even more terrified. Yingshan Ritsu knew his perception was not wrong—the other party was truly not a good person.

But... why was he still believing him just a moment ago?

"Stay away from him, Yingshan Ritsu, this man definitely does not want to help your brother."

Yunque could clearly perceive the evil of Tao Baibai; the other party was likely greedily wanting to snatch something from that boy's hands.

Bai Cangshu sighed; it was this guy again.

He was finally annoyed by this so-called "partner of Justice," and a spark seemed to ignite in the depths of his heart with a bang.

"You guy, you really make me a bit tired of you."

Bang!

Gray-white Wave spread beneath his feet; Bai Cangshu dove into the wind in an instant, and the next moment, one hand pressed directly toward Yunque's face.

Yunque's brain immediately issued a warning; he tilted his head, but was still grabbed by the shoulder by the right hand of Tao Baibai, who had appeared out of thin air. A giant force struck, intending to smash him into the ground.

Behind Yunque, the Altar of Hercules was lit up once again, and the phantom of Heracles appeared.

He planted his feet on the ground and shook his shoulder; a giant force appeared out of thin air, actually throwing Bai Cangshu away in return.

Bai Cangshu felt that immense force; the power the other party erupted with in this instant likely exceeded a value of one hundred points. This could absolutely not be a value that a Reincarnator of this level could stack on their own.

In other words... this was the power of the Little Universe...

Ha!

Bai Cangshu exhaled sharply; the moment he was thrown, his toes hooked onto Yunque's shoulder, his figure rolled backward, and the pitch-black 【Dragon-Slaying】 sword was already in his hand.

Screech!

Relying entirely on peerless violence, the sound of him swinging his sword at extreme speed, slicing through the air that was as thick as forged steel, was loud and ear-piercing.

A greyish-white slashing wave expanded in an instant.

This slash was at too close a range; Yunque only had time to tilt his body and raise his hands vertically in front of him before being struck by the terrifying sword light and the black sword itself.

Boom!

Yunque spat blood from his nose and mouth in an instant; the Little Universe on his hands blocked the slash of the black sword itself, but the peculiar Force contained within this sword strike passed directly through his body.

"A Martial Artist's Force..."

Yunque's vision was dyed red, and he suddenly felt the heavy sword on his hands disappear, his field of vision turning Empty.

Not good!

The next moment, his Little Universe sensed the enemy appearing from behind again; the instant he turned his head, the opponent had already stepped out a greyish-white shockwave in mid-air, that left hand pressing against his cheek.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three shockwaves exploded in succession within the black and white space, the intervals between them growing ever wider.

The terrifying impact force constantly scraped against Yunque's face; he held his breath and burned his Little Universe, only feeling himself being repeatedly slammed into the surfaces of various buildings.

Pfft!

A Spirit Body was crushed by the two of them, purple blood flowing all over the ground.

Yunque did not even have time to distinguish who had been crushed to death.

He was then struck with a bang out of New Seasoning City.
