Chapter 935 - 930: Limit Sublimation

Because Bai Pu was on the defensive at this time, he had to improve his Agility Attributes to dodge and Deflect in advance, and then take a quick stab at Karamango to make up for the damage.

On the scene, Bai Pu was at an absolute disadvantage, being suppressed by Karamango.

However, Bai Pu's awareness was incomparably clear! He felt as if he was transcending the battle, sublimating through it, overlooking the fight from a height unattainable to those involved.

"I can still endure. It hasn't reached the limit yet!"

With a loud boom, the scorching counteraction of the Shell of Scorching Gold erupted, even emitting hot mist from Karamango's ear holes.

Karamango was injured again, but he sneered, grabbing with his large hand, as if an endless suction stopped Bai Pu's movement, reaching out to seize Bai Pu's neck!

Waves of Fighting Qi poured into the blood-red hand, and after Karamango powered up for two seconds, he suddenly slammed down.

[Blood Hand Skull Splitter]!

Exclamations arose; this was the Execution Skill Karamango used during his past reign in the Gladiatorial Arena!

Incorporating explosive energy into the opponent's skull, and then unleashing it while slamming down to the ground, smashing the enemy's skull like a ripe watermelon!

Karamango's wife—Odesia watched from afar, screaming, "No!"

BOOM!!

A large pit appeared on the ground.

Karamango stood up, clapping the dust off his hands.

"Heh heh, don't worry, Aoxi. I controlled the strength, only knocking him out; he won't die."

Karamango said nonchalantly, "This is my property, I won't destroy it easily. Now we should consider what to do with this guy, maybe transforming him into a simpleton like Monsaka is better."

A hand suddenly stretched out from the pit, clenching tightly.

Karamango abruptly felt a crisis, then heard a tremendous explosion, being blasted into the sky! Affected by the shock damage, his organs quivered, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Bai Pu's face was covered in cracks, as fragments of Magic Sand flaked off. Bai Pu willed the fragments to turn into small bombs, directly targeting Karamango in midair.

One after another, they pursued him with blasting bombs!

Karamango was truly formidable, even absorbing 15,000 points of damage from the Shell of Scorching Gold, but his [Blood Hand Skull Splitter] partially destroyed it.

However, Karamango also suffered Bai Pu's counterattack, with the continuous bombardment of [Stripping Bomb], blasting more than 10,000 Life Value points off Karamango again!

After Bai Pu got up, the ghostly image of Emperor Yan rose behind him, executing a multifaceted mirrored reflection attack.

Black Heaven Skull - Emperor Yan Command!

[Mirror Return], Emperor Yan's ultimate counter skill, each mirror reflecting one of Karamango's previous attacks.

The Mirror Return Finishing Skill sent all of Karamango's previous attack Techniques back at him!

The stronger and more ferocious Karamango's previous attacks were, the more powerful the Mirror Return's counterattack became.

Of course, there was also a limit; the power could not be increased indefinitely—this Mirror Return strike forced Karamango to cross his arms to protect himself, sliding backward through the mud, carving two deep trenches into the ground.

Bai Pu rose to his feet. He was still muddled, golden stars bursting in front of his eyes; Karamango's Execution Skill was truly terrifying, almost depleting the Magic Sand in the upper part of Bai Pu's body, even causing cracks in Bai Pu's skull.

Bai Pu felt his actions were uncoordinated, and found the injury in his skull. He quickly activated Black Heaven Skull's Emperor Qing Command, restoring the skull crack caused by Karamango.

The ghostly image of Emperor Qing appeared, waving a hand that birthed greenness, slowly closing the fissures in Bai Pu's skull.

"I've got it."

Bai Pu's Spiritual Will was finally elevated to the extreme.

Behind him, the ghostly images of the Cyan Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, all began to shine with different colors of light.

First was the White Tiger Totem representing Water Power, shining under the verification of the Xiyuan Clan's Demon-Controlling Secret Technique.

Then the Black Tortoise Totem representing Earth Power combined with water to form the surging [Viewing the Sea] Mystical Arts.

Next, the Power of Space merged, turning the two totems from flat to three-dimensional, resembling the [Three Calamities] Mystical Arts of a natural disaster.

The Wind Cyan Dragon and Fire Vermilion Bird finally linked and radiated.

Ultimately, the four totems surrounded Bai Pu, forming a balance of earth, water, fire, and wind within the combined Power of Space—a space of True Intent!

Or rather, a "World"!

Vaguely, the Cyan Dragon Totem transformed into ubiquitous wind, the White Tiger Totem into ceaselessly flowing water, the Black Tortoise Totem into earth and mountains, and the Vermilion Bird Totem into a blazing sun.

"Ten Thousand Things in Nature, all bound within a single thought."

A hint of comprehension flashed in Bai Pu's heart; this was exactly the "Ten Thousand Things in Nature" swordsmanship realm that Beiming Jihu had ardently pursued, where one sword embodied all of nature's elements.

"However, what I have now is just the empty shell of Ten Thousand Things in Nature, different from the true essence of it. This True Intent of mine isn't enough to be called a 'World' or 'Nature'... let's keep the previous name, call it—"

"Four Symbols!"

The Four Symbols True Intent Prototype, combining the Five Elements Mystical Arts into a prototype of True Intent.

Bart's eyes widened: "He actually comprehended a True Intent Prototype in battle... Damn, Five Elements Combination, what grade is this True Intent Prototype? How many priority points can it add?"

The hint Bai Pu received revealed the answer.

[Awakened Lieutenant General Steel Heart, congratulations on comprehending the 'Strong Second Grade' True Intent Prototype: Four Symbols.]

[Your basic priority +2.]

Though the hints were simple, Bai Pu's feeling was entirely different.

His understanding of this World, of nature's myriad wonders and landscapes, all changed.

With every gesture, Bai Pu could channel Fighting Qi, simulating a form closer to nature's elements.

Making his Fighting Qi attacks more pure and cohesive, like the materialization of nature's elements.

For instance, when Bai Pu threw a punch, it was just an ordinary Fighting Qi Wave, at most mimicking a mountain's shape.

But now when he threw a punch, under the influence of the True Intent Prototype, there was a genuine sense of a mountain.

This was not an Illusion, but under Bai Pu's elevated Spiritual Will, he could, with his True Intent (Prototype), give other Awakened the immersive sensory impact!

This was the essence of Practice Makes Perfect.

Of course, Bai Pu had not yet undergone "Ascension Infusion" from the Ascension Plane, and the True Intent was still a prototype, not yet reaching Practice Makes Perfect. He was merely on the path to Practice Makes Perfect.

Once the Ascension Infusion occurred, Bai Pu could naturally step into the Second Grade True Intent First Heaven, the True Intent Cultivation level of the Returning to Truth Realm, which is true Practice Makes Perfect.

As for now...

Bai Pu looked toward his opponent, the former master—"Blood Boiling" Karamango, who was already bloodied but whose aura grew increasingly violent!
