Chapter 593: Chapter 590: This Is the Celestial Human War

Nine Netherworld hadn’t finished speaking before he leaped into the air!

He lifted his hand mid-air, and a silver claw hook shot out, latching onto another black rope.

The silver claw hook wound up quickly as if equipped with pulleys, propelling Nine Netherworld to the hook’s landing point at lightning speed!

Bai Pu ran halfway, only to change direction, and then lightly leaped into the air, heading toward the black rope where Nine Netherworld was.

Nine Netherworld drew his longsword, lifted his hand, and struck a black Fighting Qi Slash.

Bai Pu tapped his toe in mid-air, activating Gang Step, easily dodging the Fighting Qi Slash, and landed on the black rope where Nine Netherworld stood.

"As expected, intelligence reported that you’ve grasped Wind Mystical Arts, enabling fast short-distance aerial moves! Is this your confidence for participating in the Celestial Human Title Match?"

Nine Netherworld always tried to use verbal tactics to distract Bai Pu.

For him, his lengthy career as an Awakened had stacked up considerable combat experience. Speaking while fighting didn’t hinder his combat reaction at all.

If he could make Bai Pu agitated, his chances of victory would undoubtedly rise.

Yet Bai Pu’s face remained calm, silent as he swiftly approached Nine Netherworld on the black rope.

Nine Netherworld smiled faintly, and a dense layer of black mist abruptly expanded from his body surface!

The black mist seemed to have a life of its own, transforming into several black tentacles that quickly stretched out, enveloping Bai Pu in the midst of fog.

[You’ve been affected by Netherworld Mist.]

[Your Perception is being suppressed, allowing only limited combat information.]

[Effect of Netherworld Mist (known): Viscosity: Limits your Movement Speed, Attack Speed, Critical Strike Value, Dodge Value, Block Value.]

Bai Pu felt like he was submerged in viscous mist, even the motion of his arms entangled with strands of sticky mist.

This is the Virtual Spirit Realm, akin to a virtual reality game, where Bai Pu, as a Golden Major, doesn’t receive extra privileges. If it were in the outside world or the True Spirit Realm, Gaia’s Will would provide more detailed combat information based on Bai Pu’s permissions.

However, Bai Pu had collected information on Nine Netherworld in advance, and a string of data flashed through his mind.

"Netherworld Mist, a soft control of deceleration type, essentially brings different ’sub-attribute’ bonuses by reducing 30~40 Agility points. Specifically attention-worthy are the Level 7 and Level 10 Effects! The Level 7 Effect increases priority and scope by 1 point, while the Level 10 Effect is more formidable, feeding back the secondary attribute loss of target units to Nine Netherworld’s body..."

"Nevertheless, being a widespread domain-like ability, for Enhanced Heroes and above, it’s merely a nuisance, unable to decide victory or defeat!"

Bai Pu’s Demon Fighting Qi rapidly erupted on the body surface!

At this moment, his Demon Fighting Qi once again fused both Water and Fire attributes, transmuting into four colors!

In the past few months, Bai Pu cultivated both Water and Fire Mystical Arts, collecting two magical curios, used as the core of Water and Fire Magic Circuits, refining into his body.

The Four Elements Attribute, distinct and contained simultaneously within Bai Pu’s Demon Fighting Qi, transforming according to Bai Pu’s will to relevant attributes.

Simply put, when Bai Pu amplified Earth Attribute Magic Power output, Demon Fighting Qi would become dark yellow, and the other Wind, Water, Fire attributes would shrink to a smaller value.

If amplifying Fire Attribute Magic Power output, Demon Fighting Qi would turn crimson red, and the other Wind, Earth, Water attributes would simultaneously shrink.

Of course, the attribute change doesn’t modify the original "Sandfall Domain" effect; the data remains the same, only the description form changes. The true utility of attribute change lies in attribute restraint.

This Demon Fighting Qi Cultivation Method was named "Prismatic Demon Fighting Qi" by Bai Pu. Sandfall Domain also transformed into Prismatic Domain.

At this time, Bai Pu amplified the Wind Attribute Magic Power output, turning Demon Fighting Qi sky blue! The mighty Gang Wind swept down, driving away most of the Netherworld Mist, even counterattacking.

Using Wind Attribute Demon Fighting Qi to dispel the sticky Netherworld Mist was Bai Pu’s devised solution. If ineffective, he would switch to Water Attribute Demon Fighting Qi to rinse or Fire Attribute for vaporization, there has to be one that suppresses Netherworld Mist.

Prismatic Demon Fighting Qi gave Bai Pu’s qi attribute diversity and flexibility, able to handle more complex situations.

The azure-dominated, auxiliary tri-colored Prismatic Domain fully engulfed Nine Netherworld.

No matter where Nine Netherworld went, he felt a powerful headwind! His Movement Speed decreased, and Prismatic Domain was additionally siphoning his Life Force, converging into Shield gathered on Bai Pu.

[You’ve been affected by Awakened’s Gangxin’s Professional Skills: Prismatic Domain (Wind), unable to use any acceleration skill priority below (9), receiving (60~120) point of Dark Attribute Magic Damage per second, converted equitably into Shield granted to Gangxin.]

[You’ve been affected by Gangxin’s Professional Skills: Prismatic Domain (Wind) Level 4 Effect: Windbreak influence, Movement Speed decreased by (55) points. (27 points neutralized by Netherworld Mist)]

"Damn it, previously collected data was inaccurate! Gangxin’s Sandfall Domain turned into a hellish ’Prismatic Domain’... This kid, within a few short months, made another breakthrough..."

"Most crucially, why does his Domain ability even outscore mine? We’ve got similar Professional Energy Strength levels, the Domain’s Control ability should evenly match mine, I should neutralize half the deceleration effect! Yet I only countered about 1/3... Could his Energy Strength surpass Lord Level? It’s impossible!"

Nine Netherworld inhaled deeply, his years of combat career brought him extreme calm.

Though somewhat surprised, Nine Netherworld still took the most advantageous counteraction.

Swish!

Nine Netherworld darted onto a new black rope, striking a slash, causing the black rope beneath Bai Pu to crack. He slashed two more times, and the black rope snapped.

The four black ropes of the duel arena, made from Iron produced in Advanced Spirit Realm Plane with World Strength of 5.0, can be destroyed, however, even pinnacle masters need exertion.

Bai Pu tapped his toe lightly, activating Gang Step, continuing pursuit.

Both parties simultaneously initiated Domain abilities, one escaping, the other chasing!

Nine Netherworld relied on his super-high agility, continually cutting black ropes during escape, finally resulting in all four black ropes in the arena being severed, hanging loosely in the palms of eight statues.

Bai Pu and Nine Netherworld each reached out, grabbing a broken black rope. Beneath their feet stretched an acid sea, bubbling intensely.

According to rules, dropping into the acid sea equates to losing the qualification match.

Their distance exceeded one kilometer!

Close combat seemed a luxury, Nine Netherworld’s plan perfectly accomplished. A miniature Flying Axe appeared prominently in his palm.

"Gangxin! See, this is Celestial Human War, throughout generations, Celestial Beings are Air Combat kings! You, a bulky Tank, think you can snatch the Celestial Human Title with agility crammed from gear?"
