Chapter 542: Tao Baibai

Whoosh!

Pitch-black flames erupted, and in an instant, Tao Baibai, his body enveloped in a force field, transformed into a black torch.

This sight made Wei Yixiao, who had "luckily" carried Jia Su to safety and avoided being killed by Tao Baibai, look grave.

This strange and terrifying black flame seemed even more fearsome than his current Hellfire; even though the enhancement limit of 【Ghost Rider】 could be considered quite high, he was facing Tao Baibai at this very moment.

His flames did not produce a good effect; instead, the black flames of this 【Daikokuten】 burned away the force field he had found difficult to break through in an instant.

Wei Yixiao no longer expected a guy like Tao Baibai to be killed instantly; he did not know when the impression that Tao Baibai was difficult to defeat had already taken root in his heart.

Even in such a situation, he still believed Tao Baibai was alive...

Amidst the burning black flames, a powerful whirlwind erupted, instantly driving the black flames to transform into a massive black tornado that lunged toward Su Qingqiu instead.

Daikokuten's eyes narrowed. The next moment, he grabbed with both hands, and the Endfire vanished in an instant. The massive tornado was swiped away by Su Qingqiu's wave of the hand before it reached halfway.

There was no sign of Tao Baibai inside.

"Careful, he has a Wind-Turning ability!"

The effect of 【Telepathy】 was extremely strong; he captured the moment Tao Baibai turned into wind.

Golden luster shone in Daikokuten's eyes. He formed a hand seal, and his pupils appeared illusionarily in the sky once more; it was as if eyes had opened upon that pitch-black sun.

【Heavenly Eye】!

He saw a figure hiding within the wind and immediately raised his hand to point.

Whoosh!

Black flames rose like a curtain, the high temperature changing the airflow in an instant, causing the wind direction to shift accordingly.

Even while suppressed by Su Qingqiu's 【Pure White Heaven】, Daikokuten was still able to control the Endfire to cover a space of over five thousand meters in radius.

If he wished, he could completely transform into a destructive humanoid disaster, which was why Daikokuten was marked by Song Xian as a 【Disaster-class】 observation target.

Snap!

His eyes narrowed, and as the black flames shone, Tao Baibai's figure emerged from the sea of fire. Force flowed ceaselessly across the opponent's body, and his defensive power was quite formidable.

Moreover, as a Scarlet Sin, Tao Baibai's various attributes were likely extremely high; he had not even lost his mobility despite being illuminated by the Pure White Heaven and the End Sun simultaneously.

Bai Cangshu stumbled out from the wind, and the next moment, a silvery-white sword pressure happened to slash toward him.

These three were not only powerful, but their coordination was also very tacit, not at all like it was their first time doing such a thing.

The few people from the End Empire only then breathed a sigh of relief.

In that brief battle earlier, the combat power Tao Baibai displayed was truly terrifyingly strong; it seemed he had killed several Fierce Persons instantly with ease without even using any abilities.

Even a Title-level 【Great Demon】 was not a match for a single blow.

One must know that this level of Reincarnator could already be fully considered an Elite Reincarnator, a "reaper" character who would be arranged to enter later in various team battle missions.

Every one of them had the lives of dozens of other Reincarnators on their hands.

But such guys, when facing Tao Baibai, were no better than ordinary people, being killed with ease without even being able to capture Tao Baibai's figure.

That kind of oppressive force made even Title-level people like them feel a shudder.

【Fierce】 tier, without a doubt!

At this moment, Tao Baibai was already a genuine 【Fierce】 tier Reincarnator.

Regardless of how the space determined it, or whether Tao Baibai had completed an advancement mission, there was actually a better way to identify a so-called 【Fierce】 tier Reincarnator.

That was that once they appeared, they could make the majority of Reincarnators feel a shudder and fear.

That is 【Fierce】!

Only now, seeing Daikokuten join forces with two other top-tier Reincarnators to successfully suppress Tao Baibai, could they breathe a little more loudly.

Ring!

Sword Qi roared. The swordsmanship of Yinian Qingsi did not follow the flashy path of the Pirate World; her sword momentum was treacherous and nimble.

Every sword strike aimed for vital points, and her speed was extremely fast. Combined with her currently extremely high attributes and bonuses, the result was that after a few breaths, the city block was completely shattered.

There were deep ravines everywhere.

She displayed the terrifying destructive power of a White Blade-side Reincarnator after they had grown up to the fullest.

Moreover, Bai Cangshu could feel that the frequency of the appearance of death intent in her sword Qi was not fixed; it seemed every strike contained the death intent without releasing it, but the moment it was about to hit him, the death intent would gush forth.

This kind of swordsmanship far exceeded Li Qingzi's previous methods in terms of killing ability.

This was a swordsmanship born specifically for killing.

Yinian Qingsi felt even more shaken in her heart at this moment; her swordsmanship came from that great villain of a thousand years ago in 【Bleach】—Unohana Yachiru.

That was a sword born for slaughter after merging various types of swordsmanship.

Her sword mastery, also under the coordination of abilities and items, had touched the peak of technique at lv9, vaguely able to touch the boundary of breaking the limit to reach perfection.

But even so, her swordsmanship in Tao Baibai's eyes seemed full of flaws, without the slightest feeling of an ordinary Grandmaster of the Sword Dao suppressing an ordinary Grandmaster of Martial Arts.

Tao Baibai's martial arts mastery... had broken through the peak of technique?!

Once this thought arose, the sword in her hand swung faster and faster. The sword light in her hand was not at all in a straight, flashy posture; on the contrary, the swords she slashed out became increasingly tricky and treacherous.

She began to slash toward every blind spot of Bai Cangshu from all sorts of incredible angles.

Su Qingqiu had not yet made a move; he was like a crowd-control person, the trump card specifically sought out in this 【Kill White Alliance】 to target the 【Scarlet Sin】.

The suppression of attributes by 【Pure White Heaven】 could greatly limit the greatest advantage of a Great Sin Reincarnator like Tao Baibai.

He saw clearly that Yinian Qingsi had already begun to get serious; in other words, even with his and Daikokuten's participation, Yinian Qingsi was still beginning to find it difficult to suppress Tao Baibai.

Daikokuten also noticed this point. He looked at the pitch-black sun in the sky; if he were to unleash that move at this moment...

No, it was not yet the time.

He immediately abandoned that thought.

The next moment, Daikokuten's figure swayed, and a dark golden body stumbled out from his body, followed by a second, then a third.

Every time Daikokuten swayed, another version of himself appeared.

These Daheitian differed slightly in appearance from one another, looking as if Daheitian had been summoned simultaneously from every age.

There were as many as nine of them.

Behind these nine Daheitian, pitch-black suns were burning as well.

In an instant, the temperature here rose rapidly, and the intensity of that curse-corrosion began to surge significantly.

Su Qingqiu raised his left hand and swept it in front of him; a giant playing card appeared, and a large number of pitch-black spots rapidly began to emerge on its face.

Whoosh!

The playing card ignited, and with a flick of Su Qingqiu's left hand, a new playing card appeared; he seemed to be using this method to avoid the damage of the curse-corrosion.

Daheitian merely glanced at it and then stopped paying attention.

The nine figures suddenly transformed into black fire lotuses, and the next moment, in the space where Tao Baibai and Yinian Qingsi were fighting, the black lotuses exploded.

Boom!

In just an instant, Yinian Qingsi let out a muffled groan and was sent flying by the impact while pressing a hand against her sword; in the process, green smoke even began to appear on her skin, and her hair began to turn yellow and curl.

In terms of pure destructive power, Endfire far exceeds other Title-level abilities.

The Three-Point Origin Returning Force on Bai Cangshu's body surface burned up in an instant; Bai Cangshu frowned, his hands shaking and vibrating.

Bang!

The Three-Point Origin Returning Force exploded directly, and the violent airflow swept toward the surroundings like a tornado.

But in the sky, the nine Daheitian stood in different positions, all forming seals with their hands, raising them in unison, and striking out with a palm toward Bai Cangshu.

Terrifying flames completely enveloped Tao Baibai from all sides, the air was distorted and blurred in an instant, and in such an environment, Wind-Turning was also useless.

He watched coldly as Tao Baibai spread his arms, as if resisting the rolling heat waves; at the same time, Tao Baibai's entire body turned pitch black, and intense Armament Haki had already covered him.

This scene made everyone feel relieved; Tao Baibai finally began to use other abilities, which proved that Tao Baibai was now being forced to his limit and had to reveal his trump cards. "Namo Amitabha"

"The Bitter Sea is boundless, turn back and find the shore."

Like rolling thunder, Daheitian's voice began to vibrate in the air; it was impossible to hear exactly how the sound was produced, but it vibrated directly in everyone's minds.

"Not good, it's His Excellency Daheitian's 【Life-Taking Sanskrit Sound】, quickly activate the Barrier!"

Two people immediately formed seals with their hands, fast as fluttering flowers, and in an instant, a purple Barrier lit up in 【Paradise】.

The expressions of several people also relaxed slightly, and the effect of that mesmerizing Sanskrit sound weakened quite a bit.

Daheitian's strength was formidable, but many of his abilities were indiscriminate, ultra-wide-range types, so everyone did not rush to help, but instead kept watching from the sidelines.

A Reincarnator wearing black-rimmed glasses, who was currently watching Tao Baibai—who was completely controlled inside by Daheitian and seemed about to be burned to death—raised the magic wand in his hand.

An extremely terrifying Magic had already been successfully brewed; among this batch of Title-level individuals who came with Daheitian, there were mostly spell-casting Reincarnators because their lethality was strong enough that even if their strength was inferior to Tao Baibai's, they had a chance to cooperate with Daheitian to blast him to death.

But they did not expect Tao Baibai's strength to be truly too high, making these people not dare to make a move at all; instead, the backup plan arranged by His Excellency was powerful enough, and the appearance of two top-tier Reincarnators stabilized the situation.

【The One-Shot Mage · Ling Lun】 had sweat dripping from his forehead; he had been maintaining the triggered state of that Magic.

But as the black suns behind the nine Daheitian clones became increasingly dazzling and the 【Life-Taking Sanskrit Sound】 was continuously chanted from their mouths, the Daheitian clones had already approached within fifty meters of Tao Baibai.

Pfft~

Accompanied by the sound of a slight flickering flame, Tao Baibai's signature pink robe was finally ignited by the black flames.

Ling Lun felt completely relieved in his heart.

It's done!

Once ignited by 【Endfire】, even if not burned to death, one would be completely eroded by the curse-corrosion, all vitality and power would be devoured, and one would eventually turn into a puddle of rotten flesh.

Retreating to the distance and still forming a triangular formation with the Daheitian main body and Su Qingqiu, Yinian Qingsi crushed an amulet, and sacred light spilled over her body, yet that burning pain still could not dissipate.

The corner of her eye stared at that Tao Baibai; if the opponent was not burned to death, she could not feel at ease. This excessive pressure made her not even immediately ask Daheitian for compensation for being caught in the crossfire of his abilities.

Thump.

It was as if some kind of heartbeat had pulsed violently once.

The Daheitian main body's eyelids twitched, and he immediately spoke out.

"Ling Lun, do it!"

His 【Mind-Reading】 and 【Heavenly Eye】 were not only fixed on Tao Baibai, but he was also crystal clear about the status of his own people.

At this moment, he gave the order directly.

At this instant, Ling Lun also felt as if the string in his heart had suddenly tightened again until it snapped, and the magnificent gemstone on the magic wand in his hand shattered directly.

His entire Magic Power was poured completely into this one strike.

【The One-Shot Mage: Can condense all Magic Power into a single Magic; when released, every point of energy attribute will amplify the effect by 2.5%】

Layers of gorgeous magic circles suddenly exploded in front of Ling Lun.

Crack~ Bang!

The first to shatter was the 【Four Purple Flame Formation】 in front of him, and then the terrifying Magic Power directly dispersed other energies and elements in the air.

A destructive Wave spread among the nine Daheitian clones.

"Explosion!"

【Explosion Magic】!

Reaching the pinnacle of the path of destruction, the ultimate destructive Magic condensed to a single point by a pure spell-casting Reincarnator, at this moment, displayed destructive power in an instant.

Daheitian's nine clones shattered and vanished one by one, followed by Tao Baibai, who was wrapped within these clones.

That figure, who had been closing his eyes and starting to be wrapped by black flames, seemed to be torn apart directly by the manic Magic Power and was about to disappear.

But the next moment, Tao Baibai's eyes suddenly opened; purple, white, red, green... countless colors swirled in those pupils.

Ling Lun had consumed all his Magic Power, but his perception of this moment was incomparably clear.

He was very certain that after seeing Tao Baibai open his eyes, countless radiances swirled and spiraled in those pupils, and then...

Boom!

A terrifying explosion engulfed everything.

The shockwave flattened the newly constructed Paradise.

Mai, who was wailing on the rooftop because her scalp had been slashed and she was poisoned, Jin Yuean, who stood on a building further away, Jia Su and Wei Yixiao, who were drifting on the edge of the battlefield, and the Great Demon, whose head had just been reattached.

All were sent flying by the terrifying impact, soaring thousands of meters away along with the dust and ruins with a boom.

"Well done, Ling Lun, is Tao Baibai dead yet!"

Crossing his arms, the Defense Specialization Reincarnator Steel Bone Aitai, whose body had completely transformed into an alloy state, turned his head at the first moment to check on Ling Lun's condition.

Because he had lost all his Magic Power and his Spirit was also greatly exhausted, Ling Lun was completely unable to move, but his hands were trembling and his face was deathly pale.

"Run... run!"

The next moment, Da Heitian had already completely understood Ling Lun's meaning with the help of Heart-to-Heart Connection.

"Tao Baibai is not dead, you all teleport away immediately!"

Da Heitian waved a hand, and his figure expanded once again, already exceeding three meters.

The black sun above his head also began to expand, and black energy extended outward from that sun, as if it were about to swallow everything directly.

Without raising his head, he simply opened and closed his mouth, saying without joy or sorrow,

"Su Qingqiu, Yi Nian Qingsi, you two should go as well; go find His Excellency to collect your payment."

The two knew that Da Heitian was likely about to use that calamitous technique and were about to leave, but the next moment, the dust on the ground began to vibrate, and the airflow in the air changed direction.

In an Instant, as if some new gravitational force had appeared, everything began to fly toward the sky.

Boom!

Golden Qi, like a massive Pillar of light several meters in diameter, shot up into the sky from the ruins of Paradise.

Sizzle!

Golden lightning Burst from within, and an aura so intense that it felt as if one's heart were about to shatter emerged from it.

"Ha~hahaha... hahahahaha!"

The laughter shook the air, and the intuitive incandescent shockwave spread out directly like a Ripple.

Yi Nian Qingsi's dark purple long hair was shaken into a wild dance by this shockwave.

Su Qingqiu's ponytail also came undone.

The two wore grave expressions, exchanged a glance, and only the look of a fight to the death remained in their eyes.

The next moment, Da Heitian's Heavenly Eye saw the man with a terrifying physique and a bare upper body in the golden Pillar of light wave his hand casually.

Boom!

A terrifying impact appeared in an Instant; Da Heitian subconsciously raised his hands, and his entire body was hit as if by a force of a thousand jun, sliding backward for hundreds of meters.

He repeated his old trick, with a large number of clones walking out from his body, and the Life-Taking Sanskrit Sound was ringing, but what greeted him was a terrifying roar.

"Ha!"

Shocking Thunder Roar!

The thunder of the Nine Heavens exploded simultaneously, the sky suddenly brightened, and everyone's vision was stripped away.

Boom!

Aitai, who was shielding Ling Lun, did not make a sound; his internal organs completely exploded, and blood flew out from every Aperture.

Ling Lun also sprayed blood from his mouth and nose, and his eyes shattered directly.

The others were also wailing in a chorus...
