Chapter 270: If you don't understand, talk to my numbers.
In the dark side of the world, in the unseen undercurrents of the mind, Mordi goes against the current, heading straight for the source of these undercurrents.
Logically speaking, the undercurrent of the mind is an invisible existence, only allowing the subconscious to pass through. To use it as a pathway, the only way is to upload the consciousness.
However, Mo Di had already achieved the unity of spirit and body in the path of martial arts, with his physical body and consciousness integrated into one, thus enabling him to fully immerse himself in the undercurrent of the mind.
"We're getting closer and closer. Soon we'll be facing that descending entity."
He muttered to himself, and a cool sensation came from his arm, as if it were responding to him.
Modi kept moving, treating both the distracting thoughts in his mind and the dangerous undercurrents of his spirit as food, absorbing them into his body.
The Blood Sea was an extremely filthy and defiled place, and almost no external pollution could compare to it, so it devoured everything without any difficulty.
Suddenly, Mo Di stopped in his tracks, bent down to look at an undercurrent at his feet, and a strange smile flashed across his face.
"Hey, I didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain from this trip. It's really... a matter of fate."
He reached out and inserted his large hand into the dark current of consciousness below. Then, with a casual scoop, he caught a glimpse of a spark of consciousness in his hand.
At this glimmer of consciousness, from Kane's perspective, everything suddenly went black. His spirit was pulled away by an unknown force, detached from the entire undercurrent of his mind, and continued to rise.
"What happened? Who ambushed me?!"
Kane panicked and tried to break free from the pull, but his strength seemed so insignificant in the face of the mastermind behind it all.
This is a classic case of a mayfly trying to shake a tree or a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Seeing this, Kane was surprised. As one of the few A-level chosen ones on Xuanxing, his power was not the strongest, but at least he was among the top.
Only the strongest Chosen Ones could render him completely powerless.
"Who exactly is targeting me? Is it the director of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs, Xuanzhenzi of the Ancient Immortal Sect, or a saint of the Holy Mark Secret Cult, or the speaker of the Dark Light Council?"
In a short moment, his thoughts raced, several names flashed through his mind, but he couldn't decide on any of them.
The most likely candidates to make a move are the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs and the Ancient Immortal Sect. After all, this land is their territory, and it's not surprising that an outsider like him would be targeted.
"At which point did the leak occur?"
As he pondered, he felt himself stop rising and stop steadily at a certain height, and the darkness in front of him gradually dissipated.
A splash of crimson entered his field of vision, almost filling the entire world he saw.
After a moment of stunned silence, Kane looked up, and the crimson before his eyes spread upwards with his gaze, converging into a blurry human figure.
The crimson figure lowered its head slightly, and two hollow objects resembling eye sockets faced it. The light focused on it, and then the figure grinned, as if smiling at it.
A strange chill enveloped his consciousness. At this moment, Kane finally realized that the one who had attacked him was none other than the Crimson God who had appeared in Xu City not long ago.
"Crimson God...you've been waiting for me all along?!"
Kane didn't believe in coincidences; he was more convinced it was a premeditated attack.
"Waiting for you? No, you overestimate yourself."
Modi chuckled and shook his head.
"You just happened to walk right into my line of fire, that's all."
"I don't believe it, how could it be such a coincidence... Wait, you're also here for the Soul Fusion Supreme Lord?"
"Soul Fusion Overlord... It seems you know quite a bit about that instance entity." Modi's smile deepened. "Perfect, it saves me the trouble of investigating."
He began to clench his fist, as if to crush the conscious light within his palm.
In this critical moment, Kane decided to fight to the death.
The Mind Cube, which was already poised to unleash its power, began to rotate on its own, radiating strange light from each of its squares.
Besides mind control, the legendary item Mind Cube has other functions, such as defending against mind attacks and disrupting the mind of enemies.
Combined with the Mind Destruction Curse that Kane obtained by combining the arts of light and mental abilities, he was confident that even a single thought of a god would suffer severe damage.
At that time, he could take the opportunity to sneak into the mental undercurrent and escape.
"There are traces of light arts in there. I don't recall having anyone like you in the council."
Modillo was somewhat surprised. Had he accidentally shot friendly fire?
Upon closer reflection, the old lamp that was the speaker hadn't told him about the layout of Xu City, so he probably didn't know anything about what was going on here.
Even if Kane is one of his own, he can easily distance himself from the situation, since nobody knows what he did anyway.
With this in mind, he cut off the slight hesitation that had just appeared and suddenly closed his five fingers together.
His unity of body and soul made him immune to most mental damage, and also allowed him to easily destroy the aura of the Mind Destruction Curse.
"This is impossible!" Kane exclaimed in shock. He could hardly accept that the mind-destroying spell he had painstakingly created had been stopped by someone with such a simple method.
"You don't think that I, like you, have abandoned my physical body and entered the undercurrents of the mind with pure consciousness, do you?"
'
Before the last ray of light disappeared, he heard Mordy's mocking voice, yet he still couldn't understand how Mordy had blocked the Mind Destruction Curse.
His knowledge both made him and limited him; unless he transcended those limitations, he was destined to remain ignorant.
As he crushed Kane's consciousness with one hand and examined his memories, Mordy felt a bit uncomfortable.
He opened his palm and saw a Rubik's Cube with an ever-changing order lying quietly in his hand.
This is Kane's last possession, and the only item that survived.
"A legendary item, the Mind Cube... This item is destined to be mine."
Modi smiled and put away the Mind Cube, having already organized Kane's memories.
"Ha, what a double-dealer! He's with the Beacon Legion, yet he's colluding with the Darklight Council... Come to think of it, haven't I just taken out one of my own spies?"
As a collaborator of the Dark Light Council, and practically a controller of the council, he felt it necessary to ask the speaker for clarification afterward.
"Forget it, he was a two-faced person anyway, and he wasn't loyal to the parliament. Killing him is fine. Let's deal with more important matters first."
After reading Kane's memories, he had only one assessment of the man: a reckless madman.
With just a legendary quality Mind Cube, he dares to replace a physical instance. If he actually reaches his destination, his consciousness will probably dissolve instantly.
However, judging from his memory, he might be quite satisfied with this outcome.
The only thing he couldn't accept was dying prematurely.
"So this descending entity was summoned by the Beacon Legion. Tsk, are the people at the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs just sitting around doing nothing? They actually allowed quite a few Beacon Legion members to infiltrate Xu City."
Great beings from other realms, beings with substance but no form, supreme beings who merge with souls... these are all titles bestowed upon the entities within the instance.
Through these names, Mordi could gain a glimpse into His power.
"A collection of souls from a dead world, it could even be considered a test that has descended upon the world itself, no wonder it has such a high quality of souls."
No wonder it was so attractive to him.
One bite is worth a hundred years of arduous cultivation; an elite soul-devouring monster like him, born on Earth, would never let such an opportunity pass him by.
He continued walking forward, the undercurrent of his soul converging and widening beneath his feet.
The source appeared before him, and he noticed the enormous energy entity, while the entity noticed him at the same time.
To the naked eye, the Soul-Merging Supreme Being has substance but no form; its physical form can only be glimpsed within the realm of the spirit.
According to the information transmitted by Modi's spiritual consciousness, what was blocking his way was a constantly rotating energy storm, and at the eye of the storm was a genuine psionic eye.
Streamer-like limbs connect to the eye of the storm, hanging down to the earth. Each time they come into contact with the material world, they assimilate a large amount of matter, leaving behind a purple haze.
He spun and squeezed his own body, trying to open up the dimensional rift and fully enter the vibrant world below, so as to taste the delicious souls that he had not tasted for thousands of years.
"Foreign deities, do not block my way."
The Soul Fusion Lord spoke. While Modi was observing Him, he was also observing Modi and came to a conclusion: this scarlet deity had come with ill intentions.
Unsure of Modi's strength, He dared not act rashly and decided to test him with words first.
"Blocking my way?" Modi looked at him with a strange expression. "You scoundrel, daring to accuse me first! You're clearly blocking my way, and you expect me to move aside?"
"I went upstream along the undercurrent of the soul, hoping to find its source, but I never expected that this place would be polluted by you, an outsider. It seems that I really have to teach you a lesson."
After hearing this, the Soul Fusion Master was stunned for a moment.
So this scarlet deity has its eye on Him, yet it uses such a grand excuse, constantly referring to Him as an "outsider." Anyone who didn't know better would probably think the speaker was a local.
This was the first time he had ever seen such a shameless alien deity.
"We are both gods from elsewhere. Do we really want to start a war of gods over a world that has nothing to do with us?" the Soul Fusion Overlord warned, stretching out his ribbon-like limbs as if displaying his power.
"What foreign deity? Don't confuse me with you." Modi looked at Him with disdain. "I am qualified as a chosen one of the Mysterious Stars, a genuine local god."
...So you're saying you won't give way?
The Soul Fusion Overlord narrowed its storm-like eyes, and countless ribbons and limbs around its body suddenly lashed out, piercing towards the crimson deity of the same size.
Not to be outdone, Modi unleashed a towering wave of blood beneath his feet, rushing towards the energy storm body of the Soul Fusion Overlord.
The aftershocks of just one blow from both sides shattered the undercurrent of their minds, and countless thoughts transformed into pure spiritual energy, falling and dissipating into the material world of the Western Third District.
"What a ferocious wave of blood! It seems to be a deity who has traveled a long way through the path of blood."
The Soul Fusion Master's heart was filled with turmoil for a long time. His flowing limbs were hit by the blood wave, and most of them were corroded.
In contrast, Modi's blood waves were only slightly hindered, and their momentum remained fierce, turning the void into a sea of blood wherever they passed.
"As expected of an energy entity that has devoured the souls of an entire realm," Modi suddenly spoke, his tone serious, "it actually managed to push my blood wave back... just a little bit."
"In that case, I'll let you try out my newly learned move."
His expression was calm, with a slight smile playing at the corners of his lips.
The Soul Fusion Master's heart skipped a beat, and he focused all his attention on his next move.
Boundless radiance gathered in his palm, emitting clusters of slightly sinister Great Sun True Fire, making him appear as if he were a demon.
The first move of the Great Sun Divine Palm: The first rays of light appear.
The radiance was so intense that even a Soul Fusion Supreme Lord subconsciously squinted his eyes before the boundless Great Sun True Fire slammed into him.
"Wow... what a grand spectacle!" The Soul Fusion Overlord exclaimed with lingering fear. He looked at his own body but fell into an inexplicable silence.
"That's all the power you've got?"
His psychic body was not only undamaged, but was also replenished with a wave of external energy.
Modi's smile froze, and he said again, "Foreign deity, not bad. However, my Great Sun Palm has nine forms, and what you just received was only the first one."
The Soul Fusion Master's heart skipped a beat as he saw him raise his hand again, this time with an even more astonishing amount of power.
The radiance filled the entire spiritual vision, and the Soul-Merging Supreme Being could not perceive anything else, as if he had fallen into a state of ignorance and numbness.
Perhaps only a moment later, Xiu regained consciousness, and the radiance in her mental vision gradually dissipated.
A feeling of saturation filled his body, which made him wonder, "This power... seems to be less than what I recover."
Looking at Modi again, he noticed that the other person had stopped smiling, and his expression was neither happy nor sad.
"It seems your power is nothing special." The smile shifted to the face of the Soul Fusion Overlord, who began to feel that the previous enemy had only been bluffing.
Perhaps his actual strength wasn't that great.
"It's my turn next."
An energy storm swept in, and a destructive torrent of energy collided violently with the sea of blood. In addition, the Soul Fusion Overlord also used his most proficient skill: assimilation and fusion.
The blood-red sea was swallowed by the storm, forming a spectacle like a waterspout, with the two colliding and devouring each other.
Gradually, the Soul Fusion Overlord sensed something was amiss; His enemy seemed to be behaving differently than before.
When His psychic body collided with the sea of blood, it did not easily assimilate it as it had when it withstood the two Great Sun God Palms; instead, it was devoured by it.
"I am ultimately unfamiliar with the path of light," Mordi sighed, reaching his hands into the sea of blood.
Those newly learned light skills look flashy enough, but they're not as effective as his basic attacks.
Straightening his back, he raised the blue and white twin swords from the sea of blood and casually swung them down at the Soul Fusion Overlord.
The sword energy tore through the curtain, annihilating the outer spiritual body. Only when it approached the core did it sense the attack and mobilize its power to defend itself.
The sword energy collided with the core shell of the Soul Fusion Overlord. Although it could not escape the fate of being annihilated, it still left behind a wound that was difficult to heal, as well as some kind of mental trauma.
"Were you just acting like me?"
The Soul Fusion Overlord could hardly understand this scene. He didn't understand how the attack, which had been so flashy just now, could have become so powerful after it became simple and unadorned.
"Hmph, you don't understand? Go talk to my numbers."
Modi raised his sword again, the sword energy piercing into the energy storm. Before it could assimilate, it had already broken through the outer layer and reached the core eye of the storm.
