Chapter 1799: Chapter 1826: Battle Between Visualized Items
“The injuries sustained by the host will be perfectly duplicated onto the Visualized Item. Although we can’t affect the mind directly, we can work through the Visualized Item.”
Yu Huan Shui swiftly brushes his big hand across the page on “Wealthy Li Xiaobai”‘s face.
“My Law of Fate can read others’ memories. Any experience that’s happened to someone, whether they’re aware of it or not, can be thoroughly read by me. Meaning, the image of the Three Inch Golden Lotus in his mind right now can manifest through the memories in this Visualized Item.”
Yu Huan Shui directly turns to the last page, where the text vanishes and is replaced by an illustration. It’s Li Xiaobai’s brain, with the Divine Soul in the Mudball Palace tightly entangled by tendrils, unable to move. These tendrils writhe rhythmically, drawing significant energy from the Divine Soul with every movement.
The number of pages increases rapidly, soon revealing a new page, which is similar to the previous one except that the Divine Soul in this illustration has dimmed considerably.
“To cultivators of the same level, this Three Inch Golden Lotus is indeed a lethal weapon. If my cultivation level were still intact, removing this thing would only require a thought, not such painstaking effort.”
Yu Huan Shui is quite exasperated by the Three Inch Golden Lotus.
“The abilities from the starry sky are truly bizarre.”
Li Xiaobai tilts his head to look at the pages on the Visualized Item’s face. Seeing his own brain feels strange to him; after all, he has never trained in this or understood introspection, this experience is unprecedented in his life.
“It’s a pity it met me. Extracting this thing from the soul is very simple; it only requires precise operation through the Visualized Item, cutting it away bit by bit. That overseer is too arrogant, thinking we can’t solve the Three Inch Golden Lotus, allowing the Visualized Item to follow suit. Once I chop off those stinking feet, he will pay a bitter price!”
Yu Huan Shui carefully flips through the pages, scrutinizing the distribution of the Three Inch Golden Lotus.
His posture is akin to a surgeon examining a CT scan.
“Heh heh heh, Yu Huan Shui, you’re supposed to be a renowned expert in the deep cosmos. You’ve been imprisoned in the Netherworld for months and now even your brain seems sluggish. Not afraid to tell you, I am a master at the Immortal Gods Realm. My physical body is battling in a nearby galaxy, unable to traverse over, so my Divine Soul is entrusting the Three Inch Golden Lotus to pursue you all!”
“Attempting to sever my Visualized Item is just a delusion with your current strength. Once I consume this kid, you’ll be next!”
A mouth cracks open on the feet, laughing gleefully.
“Fool, a few months ago, I could have crushed you with a single finger!”
“Brother Ma, Master Liaowang, hold those stinking feet tight, I’ll kill him now.”
Yu Huan Shui flies into a rage, the pages of a massive book behind him rustle, flipping to a page marked with two hands.
Initially a drawing on the book, the next second, it comes off the page, extending out. It’s a pair of woman’s hands, very slender and soft, caressing “Wealthy Li Xiaobai”‘s head for a moment, then stab fiercely into it.
“Hold still, little brother, I’ll first perform a simple brain surgery for you.”
Li Xiaobai feels a knot in his stomach.
This doesn’t count as brain surgery; it’s stabbing hands into a head.
Yu Huan Shui looks refined and weak daily; who’d have thought he was such a ruthless person, acting so violently, if those hands stab incorrectly, his life would be at risk.
“Wealthy Li Xiaobai” gains a new page on his face, depicting the scene of two fair hands piercing into the brain, grasping the Three Inch Golden Lotus.
Li Xiaobai somewhat understands the overseer’s words. The body and Visualized Item are conjoined; the attack he suffers will completely reflect on the Visualized Item, likewise, any attack on the Visualized Item feeds back to his body.
In past battles, he’d never studied the usage of the Visualized Item, as the System hadn’t provided related skill hints. Now it seems the skills he can use, the Visualized Item should also be able to utilize.
“Wealthy Li Xiaobai”‘s face pages flip one after another like a comic strip, the tendrils formed from the big toe of the Three Inch Golden Lotus spiraling around the soul. Those two fair hands move quickly, in a breath they’ve snapped most of the tendrils, with a substantial amount of essence escaping from the severed ends, returning to the soul’s body.
The Divine Soul solidifies bit by bit, the power consumed returns little by little.
Li Xiaobai, Ma Niubi, and Liaowang hold their breath, staring unblinkingly at the pages’ comic strip.
“This guy even tied a bow, provoking me?”
Yu Huan Shui senses something, the two fair hands pause slightly, then continue working.
The deepest tendril wrapping the soul intertwines into a bow. Without hesitation, Yu Huan Shui squashes it, immediately an anomaly occurs, the crushed bow fragments suddenly extend into more tendrils, ravenously invading Li Xiaobai’s brain while many tendrils pierce through his skull, entwining along his two jade hands towards Yu Huan Shui.
“Having been smashed to pieces, still able to infinitely extend, how can it possess such tenacious vitality?”
“Could it be he deliberately had me crush these tendrils to pieces, to allow more tendrils to evolve at this moment?”
Yu Huan Shui’s expression changes drastically, withdrawing the two hands from “Wealthy Li Xiaobai”‘s head, quickly dealing with the tendrils reaching for him.
“Heh heh heh, you’re truly weak, Yu Huan Shui!”
“I knew you’d slice the Three Inch Golden Lotus. If you had chosen to untangle it, it’d be tricky. But I know your character, you won’t leave enemies a chance, you’ll crush my Visualized Item!”
“Now no one can stop the Three Inch Golden Lotus’s pursuit, what deserved fate, go to Hell then!”
The two feet laugh wantonly, the provocation earlier, the silence midway, all for this moment, luring Yu Huan Shui in. Everything proceeds according to its plan, now Li Xiaobai’s brain is increasingly chaotic, occupied not only by the Divine Soul but other areas of the mind as well, like vines filling a cave, thoroughly impossible to clear.
“Damn it…”
Li Xiaobai’s head buzzes noisily.
In the void, the two large hands vanish.
The massive book behind Yu Huan Shui flips crazily, a bloodstained dagger bursts forth, neatly severing both big toes on the feet, then swiftly grabs the Three Inch Golden Lotus, making a rapid escape.
“I’ll handle this thing, you take my Visualized Item and leave first!”
With that said, he disappears from their view.
The three understand, Ma Niubi and Liaowang ahead and behind, lifting Li Xiaobai, sprinting wildly. They arrive at the landing point on this star, a village. Earlier, many passersby observed them from a distance, and detoured around them.
“Master, where are we going?”
“Depending on others is not as good as relying on oneself, find a quiet place, I’ll personally cut open my cranium!”
