The moment the Everlasting Immortal Fairy gained a physical body, Hui Doudou was on high alert.

She can actually manifest a physical body?!

Nevertheless, it’s better this way. Defeating the Everlasting Immortal with only a soul wouldn’t offer a sense of accomplishment.

“Immortal Dao Killing Fist!”

“Immortal Fairy Fist Technique!”

Both figures vanished from their original positions. Hui Doudou’s fist was fast, but the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s was faster. The latter’s fist slammed into Hui Doudou’s abdomen, causing her to spit out a mouthful of immortal blood.

The immortal blood corroded the earth, hissing and smoking as it melted through the ground until it reached the barrier set by the four immortals.

In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged thousands of blows. Even Qing He could not follow their movements and was only able to track their location by the direction of spatial fractures.

Yet even so, she couldn’t keep up with their pace, always one step behind.

If Qing He couldn’t follow, the others certainly couldn’t.

Hui Doudou was forced back repeatedly, her arms numb from the force. The Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s strength was astonishing, and in a contest of pure strength, Hui Doudou found herself at a slight disadvantage.

Earlier, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy had hardly thrown punches in her battle with Hui Doudou because she knew that she couldn’t match Hui Doudou’s strength as a mere soul. But now that she had regained a physical body, that concern was gone.

“So this is your true power, Everlasting?!”

Hui Doudou had never tasted defeat since she began cultivation. In fact, she had never even fallen behind. This was her first time encountering an existence whose physical body surpassed her own.

“That’s more like it! Only this way will victory give me a sense of accomplishment!” Hui Doudou was utterly fearless in the face of the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, now in corporeal form. After all, she and the Everlasting Immortal Fairy were essentially the same person—both had condensed an Unbeatable Golden Core, had never lost in their lives, and possessed absolute confidence in their abilities.

“Arhat Fruit Fist, Licorice Fist, Goji Berry Fist, Angelica Fist...” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy threw punch after punch, each different from the last. They were varied and unpredictable.

The Immortal Fairy Fist Technique could turn her body into medicine, transforming it into myriad herbs to preserve vitality, restoring vitality to the area, and resisting the power of Silent Annihilation.

Likewise, she could inject the power of medicinal herbs into her opponent, disrupting the flow of their meridians.

“Five-Elements Great Escape!”

This was both an escape technique and a swift movement technique. Hui Doudou danced like a dragon and phoenix, her speed approaching that of light, faster even than Meng Junzi when he borrowed the Speed Incipient Dao Fruit.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy remained steadfast, dealing with all changes by remaining unchanged. She stood still, closed her eyes, and probed with her immortal consciousness, allowing Hui Doudou to circle her.

Hui Doudou seized an opening and materialized. Erupting with divine light, she smashed her killing fist at the Everlasting Immortal Fairy.

“Here!”

The moment Hui Doudou struck, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy seized the opportunity. Their fists collided, and the shockwaves rippled through the universe, shattering countless phantom stars.

Simple ancient talismanic runes appeared, then quickly faded. If the Four Ancient Immortals were present, they would have recognized these symbols as the primordial talismanic runes that had manifested along with the birth of the world.

The collision of the powers of Everlasting and Silent Annihilation showed signs of transforming the world.

However, the current world was still around, and the environment and timing were not right. The primordial runes couldn’t sustain themselves here.

As the two powers clashed, a small world was born, allowing the primordial runes to survive within it.

But soon, the small world couldn’t withstand the power of Silent Annihilation and exploded.

Hui Doudou coughed blood profusely. No matter how vigorous her vitality was or how powerful her self-healing immortal body was, she couldn’t compare to the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, who possessed the Everlasting Dao Fruit.

“Detonate!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Unlike previous self-detonations, these successive self-detonations were a complete explosion of both the immortal body and the soul. Its effect was nearly the same as in the ancient era.

Hui Doudou had intended to forcefully endure it as before, but in the first blast, she was horrified to discover that the power was incomparable to that of earlier ones. I absolutely can’t withstand it head-on.

“Destroy the concept of ‘space!’”

As long as I destroy the concept of space, the distance between us will become either infinitely far or infinitely close. Everything will be unknown. Only this can block the subsequent explosions.

“The concept of ‘space’ is everlasting!”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy locked the concept of space in place. Hui Doudou’s unstoppable technique had never failed her, but it was now useless before the Everlasting Dao Fruit.

Hui Doudou hastily used the power of Silent Annihilation to create layers of barriers around herself, but one after another, the explosions blasted through them.

“Are you done with the explosions?” As the last barrier vanished, the sound of explosions disappeared. The silence was eerie. Only the dust left by the explosions told of what had occurred here.

Suddenly, the dust billowed upward. The Everlasting Immortal Fairy burst through it and appeared before Hui Doudou.

Time came to a standstill. Hui Doudou’s restless heart calmed down. She felt as if she was looking into a mirror, in which the version of herself within was flawless and beloved by all.

The reflection shattered and exploded. Hui Doudou was swallowed by endless detonations...

By the time Hui Doudou woke up again, she found herself falling, and beneath her was Demon City. Instinctively, she wanted to continue fighting, but she found that her body and soul had already vanished. The only thing that remained of her now was a wisp of consciousness.

In the end, I still lost, huh? I lost so thoroughly. Even if we fight again, I’m afraid the outcome would likely be the same.

“Everlasting, you were right. I really can’t become you.” Hui Doudou gazed at the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, who was falling alongside her, or rather, accompanying her on this final stretch of her journey.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy looked at her other self with mixed feelings. “You misunderstood me. What I meant was that you can be yourself. I believe Little He meant the same.”

Hearing the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s explanation, her expression relaxed. “Is that so? So that’s what you both meant...”

But now that things have come to this, it no longer matters.

The two continued to fall through the air in silence. Neither knew what the other was thinking.

After a moment of silence, Hui Doudou seemed to recall something and asked, “Oh, right, I’ve always called you ‘Everlasting Immortal.’ Do you have a name?”

“My name is Huang Doudou.”

“Hahahahaha, what kind of strange name is that?” Although the timing wasn’t appropriate, she still laughed out loud, mocking the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s name without restraint. If she still had more than just a consciousness, she would be laughing until tears came out.

“Your name doesn’t match the names of the Heaven Mandate Immortal and the other three at all. I thought your name would be something more imposing.”

In this moment, she felt that she was no longer the cold-faced Silent Annihilation Immortal, but that carefree little girl from before her tribe’s destruction, with no need to hide her emotions.

“And what about me? Do I have a name?”

“Yes. You’re called Hui Doudou. That is the name Xiao Yangzi gave you.”

“His naming sense is terrible.”

“Exactly. Is there anything else you want to say?”

Hui Doudou shook her head with a smile. She turned to look at Qing He, who was rushing toward her. With her last bit of strength, Hui Doudou shouted boastfully.

“Hey, Little He, you were wrong. I have a name. I am Hui Doudou...”

Qing He hurriedly reached out to grab Hui Doudou, but her figure had already turned into specks of light, dissipating into the air, leaving nothing for her to hold onto.
