But then a powerful wind suddenly rose, and then a change of form occurred.

In the instant before Feng Bujue met the opponent's palm strike, he kicked off, leaped forward, and abruptly changed his direction.

"What?" Shiva's powerful and certain palm struck empty air, causing him to lean slightly and inwardly exclaim in surprise, "How is this possible? The duration of [Pure Land] should have at least twenty seconds left, and [Weightless Contact] goes without saying… Assuming that skills and equipment are ineffective, how did he change his flight path?"

In the second that their figures crossed, countless conjectures flashed through Shiva's mind: "Is it another item effect? But I didn't see him take anything new out of his pack or pocket… And items that can be worn directly are considered 'equipment,' and even if they have special effects, they shouldn't be able to activate; could it be… that he did it with pure physical skill? That's not right either… 'Aerial Stepping' is meaningless in a weightless environment, unless he steps on something solid, otherwise no matter how great the force, it's impossible to change direction."

Shiva's combat experience was, after all, rich. In the process of constantly making inferences and constantly negating himself, he had already adjusted his posture by instinct and faced the enemy again.

However, when his gaze re-locked onto Feng Bujue, he saw an extremely strange scene.

*Zi… zi… zi…*

All that could be heard… was a series of annoying, static-like noises coming from Feng Bujue's body.

At the same time, the right leg that Brother Jue had just used to make the stepping motion had completely "turned into light," becoming a blurry, flickering stream of data light.

"Hum… the completion rate is really a bit low…" Feng Bujue thought to himself, while adjusting his posture in the air to stabilize his body, "But… it's good enough that I can successfully use it, the step 'from zero to one' is the most difficult. Once this step is taken, it's a whole new world…"

"Ha!" The next second, a soft shout interrupted Brother Jue's thoughts. Shiva, surprised and suspicious, didn't stop his hands and feet. He changed direction and flew swiftly, launching another attack.

"Heh… choosing this guy as my opponent was really the right choice…" Facing the continuing pursuit, Feng Bujue smiled happily, thinking, "Adhering to basic principles, the impeccable strategy forced me to reveal flaws first; being able to accurately grasp opportunities and decisively use all skills put me at a disadvantage. Finally… supported by that powerful strength, relentless and merciless continuous pursuit… has given me no room to breathe, only the ability to parry." Brother Jue couldn't help but give Shiva a thumbs up in his heart, "Whether it's combat power, strategy, or intuition… he's truly a top-notch player."

*Peng—Peng—Chi—*

Although Feng Bujue was praising the other party in his heart, he didn't hold back in his actions. He timely used Moon Step twice with his left leg, which hadn't been converted to light, to distance himself from the opponent, and then returned a Lan Jiao without stopping.

"Feng Bujue… you always give me surprises." At this moment, Shiva had regained his composure. He moved smoothly in the air, dodged the slashing Lan Jiao, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know what method you used… but it seems… you have at least regained the ability to 'use skills.'" He snorted coldly, "Hum… I'm seeing someone break [Pure Land] for the first time. It really opens my eyes."

"I've broken more than just [Pure Land]." Feng Bujue replied calmly, "The [Absolution] and [Weightless Contact] that hadn't completely failed have also stopped working."

"Oh?" Shiva asked tentatively, "Then can I ask… what method are you using?" He shifted his gaze slightly, paused for half a second, and then continued, "Also… what is the connection between the method you're using and that right leg of yours that's glowing?"

In fact, Shiva was just asking casually. Anyway, asking doesn't cost money, and he didn't think the other party would answer this question.

"As for the method…" Unexpectedly, Feng Bujue actually answered, "It can be explained in four words—'Second-Order Soul Intent'." His tone was very calm and didn't sound like he was talking nonsense, "As for the strange state of my leg… it's naturally a side effect of using Second-Order Soul Intent for the first time."

"What did you say!" In this battle, Shiva's expression changed drastically for the first time, "What do you mean by 'Second-Order'…?"

"Hehe…" Feng Bujue smiled, "The literal meaning." He spread his hands and leisurely continued, "It's a coincidence… my First-Order Soul Intent also awakened during my fight with you. Perhaps this is indeed a kind of fate."

"I'd rather not have this karmic tie…" Shiva quickly adjusted his expression and returned to his cold-eyed state.

"Alright, I've answered your question, so…" Then, Feng Bujue hooked his finger at the other party, "Enough with the small talk… I haven't experienced your First-Order Soul Intent yet. Why don't you use it and let this daddy have some fun?"

"Since you're so frank… it seems a little unreasonable for me to keep hiding it." Shiva replied, and then activated his Soul Intent—[Eye of Destruction].

This Soul Intent, similar to Ruo Yu's [Limit Efficiency], is a continuous skill that needs to be actively activated. The longer the duration, the greater the mental burden on the player.

When Shiva activates the Eye of Destruction, his forehead will split open from the middle, revealing a vertical, crimson eye, and the effect of this eye is…

*Chiu—*

In the instant that the Eye of Destruction opened, a beam of crimson light shot out from it, disappearing in a flash.

This beam of light is a pure energy attack of the fire attribute, with no warning signs of release, and… its speed far exceeds the speed of sound.

When Feng Bujue heard the sound of the crimson light piercing through the air, his chest had already been pierced by the beam.

"So that's how it is…" Feng Bujue looked down at the hole in his chest and found that the edges of the wound had been baked by the high temperature and high speed, and almost no blood seeped out of it, but… it also meant that it would no longer heal.

His trachea, spine, and lungs had all been partially evaporated, and the limbs below his chest naturally lost their sensation. His whole body began to fall rapidly to the ground.

"It's a pity that the activation of this move relies entirely on the eyeball for calibration and has nothing to do with the shooting specialization…" Shiva said as he flew towards Feng Bujue, "Otherwise, I would definitely prioritize leveling the shooting specialization to A-level or even S-level to ensure that this move can hit the target's brain."

"Worthy of being the Eye of Destruction… seemingly small in scale, unremarkable, but in reality, it's extremely fierce and evil, unstoppable…" Two seconds later, Feng Bujue, who had already lost part of his chest cavity, actually spoke, "Unfortunately… this move cannot be used continuously in a short period of time, and… the confidence in its destructive power has made you overconfident."
