Chapter 299: Fight to the Death - 299
Guang Fu grabbed the sword in its sheath and moved it at a speed 99.9% of nascent soul realm cultivators would not be able to follow.
At the exact moment that the tip of the sword left the sheath, the sword seemed to disappear, not only from eyes, but from the world itself.
Guang Fu's hand, still in a position as if it was holding a sword, swung upwards at Yao Mun from afar.
Yao Mun watched with interest and confusion. Then, his right arm detached from his body. Yao Mun's eyes widened as Guang Fu did a flip and turn in air before bringing the hand down.
After an extreme amount of training, Guang Fu managed to make his formless sword technique allow for two attacks before needing to enter the sheath again.
Yao Mun quickly moved to the side, almost completely dodging the second attack. Only a few of his fingers were cut off.
'As expected, his instinct is incredible.' Guang Fu thought as he held the sword high above his head.
The formless sword technique would take too long to use again in the fast paced battle about to happen.
As expected, Yao Mun's face immediately turned serious as the sword now in his left hand swiped up and his leg disappeared.
Guang Fu could not even react as a sword wave smashed at the golden barrier that appeared in front of him.
Although he was slightly pushed back, Guang Fu did not stop as the raised sword seemed to have its sharpened part turned a deeper yellow.
As Yao Mun was swinging his sword for a second attack, Guang Fu's sword had released his.
Yao Mun's other leg disappeared as he sacrificed it, but his eyes widened as he saw a thin line in front of him.
He hurriedly canceled his attack and jumped to the side. If he still had legs, they would have been cut off.
'Dam*it.' They both thought at the same time.
'I wasted a leg for nothing.' Yao Mun thought.
Seeing Yao Mun, Guang Fu hesitated to sacrifice his sword for the third attack.
'If I am fast, he won't be able to attack while I reset my sword. Plus, the emblem has only been used once so far.' Guang Fu thought to himself.
In the few milliseconds that Guang Fu spent thinking, Yao Mun came to a decision. Before Guang Fu could react, two arcs shot out of Yao Muns sword, colliding with the barrier stronger and faster than before.
Guang Fu's eyes widened as he realized that the emblem was used up, yet Yao Mun did not lose any body parts.
Contrary to Guang Fu's shocked state, Yao Mun was biting his lips and clenching his teeth to near destruction.
He had just sacrificed both legs of his soul.
'If I use anymore of my soul, I'll die regardless of this fight's outcome!' He thought.
The soul was very different from the body. Although Yao Mun could heal the soul when it was harmed, there was a point where he would die immediately.
The soul contained the memories, personality, and the very existence of a being.
If Yao Mun used up more than 50% of his soul, he would die.
He had used up two of his legs already. In order to be safe, he would need to have at least 60% of his soul remaining. 50% was the absolute theoretical limit, but he could die starting from only having 59% of his soul left.
That meant that he could only use up 40% of his soul in one fight. The soul's head made up 30% as it contained the eyes, ears, tongue, and nose, making up 4 of his 5 senses, and the mind itself. The upper torso and lower torso contained 10% of his soul combined. The arms and legs each made up 15% of the soul.
He had already sacrificed 30% of his soul, sacrificing another body part would put him in a very likely death situation and sacrificing a bit of the soul's limb would be an incomplete sacrifice. The power would go down immensely.
Therefore, the soul was basically off limits unless he was going to die regardless.
Guang Fu hastily stopped his sword from entering the sheath and prepared the sword explosion drill technique.
'Goodbye.' He said to his sword as it shot off of his hand and straight at Yao Mun
Despite its speed, Yao Mun was able to catch a glimpse of it and sacrificed his last limb, his left arm, while swinging the sword.
Yao Mun's attack destroyed the sword and caused it too explode, before continuing on towards Guang Fu.
The power had been lessened by the sword's explosion, but Guang Fu could barely dodge. He could only move a little bit to the side and his left leg and left arm were cut off.
Guang Fu and Yao Mun stared at each other for a moment, seemingly out of moves.
Then, Yao Mun smiled.
Bloop!
Yao Mun's right arm regrew out of nowhere. He flew towards Guang Fu arrogantly as he held his sword.
"You truly were strong. In the nascent soul realm, besides me, I declare you the strongest." Yao Mun arrogantly yelled.
Guang Fu watched as Yao Mun stopped a hundred feet in front of him and held the sword high.
"A pity that you have to die here. I would have liked to fight you more" He said as the sword started to move.
Guang Fu closed his eyes as he prepared to use the self destruction technique. He was not confident that it would reach, but he would die anyway.
Shoom!
Suddenly, the sound of wind being cut was heard and a foot appeared in front of Yao Mun's face. The foot seemed to be stopped in mid air by an unknown force, but Yao Mun was sent flying backwards so hard by the following shockwave and wind that he popped the barrier and was lodged in a tree, nearly killed.
Chapter 300: Outcome - 300
Guang Fu's eyes widened as he saw the person stopped in mid air.
"What are you doing!" He yelled at Tian Ren.
Tian Ren, stopped in mid air, looked at Guang Fu with a slight smile.
"I don't know. My body moved before I could even react." He said sadly.
Guang Fu was about to speak, but Tian Ren interrupted.
"I don't have much time. The only reason I can talk now is… well…" Tian Ren stuttered to a stop.
"Goodbye Guang Fu. Yao Mun should be alive, barely. Kill him. Do not let my actions be in vain. I expect a lot from you. You better surpass me or I'll look like an idiot." He laughed.
As a lightning dragon began to form above him, he looked up happily.
"What will we do without you now! Bi Chong is still alive!" Guang Fu yelled emotionally.
Tian Ren chuckled. "Luckily, we have a man in the sky to take care of that."
No more words could be spoken as the lightning dragon descended upon him at an unimaginable speed and turned his body to ashes.
"Dam*it!" Guang Fu yelled as he slammed his fists on the ground.
—----------------------------------
Up above, in an unknown area, a see-through, ethereal version of Tian Ren appeared. His upper body seemed normal, but his legs were replaced by a thin, curling line.
He looked around, but all he could see was whiteness. The entire area seemed to be made of clouds, from the ground to the sky. He could feel immense comfort and pleasure throughout his entire body.
"Where am I?" He said to himself, surprised to hear that he could actually speak.
"The Heaven domain." Heaven answered.
Tian Ren looked at the person who appeared with joy.
"I was hoping I would see you again!" He said.
"Yeah Yeah. Well good job dying." Heaven said, annoyed.
"Sorry. Couldn't help myself." Tian Ren responded.
"Well. You haven't technically died. With the help of Zhou Fan, from the gatherings, I was able to create this area." He said as he gestured around.
"This is where my favorite subjects will come after "Death." He said, using air quotes while saying the word death.
"Here, you can watch what goes on around the Heaven galaxy, and live until the lifespan earned by your cultivation goes out." Heaven explained.
"For you, that would be around 500 million years." Heaven added.
"You can truly die at any time if you want. Just speak out loud and I will fulfill the wish." Heaven said.
"Alright then. Sounds nice." Tian Ren responded.
"I've got things to do. Feel free to watch what happens now." Heaven said as he walked away.
"Alright." Tian Ren said. "And I am sorry I can no longer be in your service." He added.
"I know. I know." Heaven waved as he disappeared.
Tian Ren got comfortable and looked at a screen in front of him.
—---------------------------
After only a few moments of grief, Guang Fu stood up and slowly walked, still injured, towards Yao Mun.
As the barrier popped, the rain outside had begun to fall. Guang Fu slowly walked, his grief turning into anger.
By the time he reached Yao Mun, he didn't plan on killing him easily.
Consumed by rage, Guang Fu grabbed the limbless Yao Mun and threw him to the ground, forming a pit.
That woke Yao Mun up, but there was nothing left to sacrifice besides things that would cost him his life.
Guang Fu got on top of him and punched him in the face.
Left fist. Right fist. Left fist. Right fist.
He kept beating Yao Mun until his face was bloody and almost unrecognizable.
Yao Mun began to speak through the pile of blood and mush with much difficulty.
"I'll give you one warning. Get off and leave before I self detonate." Yao Mun spoke.
Before he could say anything else, a powerful force hit his face, unexpectedly knocking him out.
Guang Fu, now in control of his actions. Rolled over off of Yao Mun, completely exhausted and injured.
His left leg and left arm were still gone.
After a brief second that Guang Fu used to catch his breath, Guang Fu got up and grabbed his sword.
He held it over Yao Mun's skull. He wanted to say a final line, but nothing came to mind.
"Dam* you!" He simply yelled as his sword fell down.
Just as it was to reach Yao Mun's forehead, a force stopped it.
"Have you gotten your anger out now!" A voice asked from behind him.
Guang Fu wanted to turn around, but the force stopped him from moving.
Soon, a person appeared in front of him. The person had a mask and purple eyes.
"I've been watching since the barrier popped. I thought of saving him before you beat him, but I decided to wait until you tried to kill him." The beast in humanoid form spoke.
"Let me kill him!" Guang Fu yelled. For some reason, he could talk.
"No." The person answered as he picked up Yao Mun.
"The only thing stopping me from killing you now is the rules. Wouldn't want to end up like Tian Ren." The man laughed.
Guang Fu was angry, but he realized that there was nothing he could do.
"Let me tell you what happens now. You are going to go back to the Heaven world base and tell them what happened. Quickly, the Heaven base will be cleared out and all of the beings from the Heaven world will clear out of the final world, as well as the world's following it. Only the Heaven world will remain as a sanctuary for your kind." The man explained.
"Luckily for you, Heaven will likely protect the Heaven world from being invaded. This war is over. Once everyone is evacuated, your kind will officially declare your defeat, and we, the beast world, will own all of these planets for ourselves." The man said.
"Never did I expect that Tian Ren would sacrifice himself. I sure am glad that I came to watch the battle. Anyway, later. I am sure that we will meet again." He said as he flew off carrying Yao Mun.
Guang Fu could only move an hour after he left. He immediately fell to the ground and passed out.
