Volume 5: A New Era Chapter 169 Reflecting the Stars
This time Lin Xing did not react.
His hands possessed unprecedented power, but outside of those hands, he was not protected by the gravity of the stars.
As soon as the Netherworld Flame attached itself to the body, the flesh and blood quickly withered.
A chill rushed straight to Lin Xing's heart.
At this moment, his other hand, which was originally about to chop towards Lu Bai, changed direction and grabbed his own shoulder.
A certain gravitational force was activated, and the Netherworld Flame was suddenly absorbed.
Lin Xing also took this opportunity to pull his hand back, feeling horrified.
His right hand was like a dry bone, and his flesh and skin looked like rotten soil, which would fall off with a pinch.
Although he was still mourning for a while, Lin Xing's expression suddenly changed. He slapped his left hand to the side, and balls of Netherworld Flame were spat out, which dissipated in the air in the blink of an eye.
Although the stars have observed this Netherworld Flame and can swallow it with the help of gravity, they cannot digest it.
The stars were unable to crush him at all. Instead, the Netherworld Flame continued to dissipate with the movement of the stars and tried to penetrate into every part of his body.
If he had not inhaled much and had not exhaled some of it in time, he would probably have died just like that.
Even so, the stars became a little dimmer.
"Fortunately, the gravity of the stars blocked him from putting his hands directly around my neck!" Lin Xing was terrified.
He couldn't remember the last time he felt scared.
However, at this moment, the Nether Flame awakened his absolute fear of death.
"Hahaha!" But at this time, Lin Xing was not frightened, but laughed out loud. He knew about the special thing called Nether Flame through the Theory of Celestial River Stars, but he did not pay much attention to it before. He thought it would be the same as Lu Bai's other abilities. It was just an exotic technique that could still be restrained by . Now it seems that he thought too much.
"Lu Bai, I want to thank you very much. You made me realize my arrogance and understood the great horror in life. Some things cannot be ignored just by knowing them." Lin Xing stepped back slightly, held the shoulder of his right hand with his left hand, and pulled it hard. The flesh and skin that was like rotten soil fell to the ground in an instant.
Then he saw that even the bones had turned yellow and black, and were dry and cracked.
So he just removed the entire arm.
"Nan Dou Immortality Technique!" The stars moved, and a pure force gushed out, acting on his shoulders, and an arm was quickly generated.
The stars can swallow all known things, grind them into the most basic power, and nourish Lin Xing's body.
Through this, he also developed a move called Nanto Immortality Technique.
It can make up for the damage and as long as the key parts of the body are not damaged, it can be "immortal".
The new arm was white and tender, but as he swung it again, the gravity of the stars attached to it, and it was not much different from before.
At this time, Lu Bai also frowned and roughly tidied his chest.
He was not in a hurry to activate Changle Weiyang, but instead filled the gap with the Six Desires Incarnations.
The incarnation of the seven emotions has the ability to replenish the body and quickly repair injuries.
Lu Bai's six desires incarnation naturally also has corresponding functions, otherwise how could Lu Bai dare to claim that he could transcend life and death with the six desires.
Filling the gap with an incarnation is not as refreshing as simply going back in time.
After the incarnation retreated, he still needed to rest slowly and did not recover his health immediately.
The reason why Changle Weiyang was not used was not because I wanted to hide it.
When facing a protagonist who is cheating, the other party actually knows all these cards clearly.
Fighting with the enemy is like playing cards with the cards open. You cannot play the cards randomly. You must play with the cards openly and make moves secretly.
It was just like he was doing two things at once before, dodging in the open while secretly launching a sneak attack.
Just after fighting again, he found that Lin Xing's difficulty level had increased again.
Before, Lin Xing paid too much attention to the predictions of the stars, and his every move was completely based on short-term predictions.
He paid too much attention to his apparent strength. Even though he knew that Lu Bai had a card called Nether Flame, he did not care about protection when he saw Lu Bai's actions and did not use it.
Therefore, when Lu Bai said before that he was fighting with Lin Xing, he was actually fighting with Tianhe Qunxinglun.
After Lin Xing's own subjective initiative was crushed by the Tianhe Star Theory, he stopped thinking too much about it.
This is where his arrogance lies. He relies on his theory of the stars in the Milky Way to look down on all means in the world.
As a result, he was injured in return by Lu Bai and almost lost his life.
At the same time, the powerlessness of the Tianhe Star Theory in the face of the Nether Flame also shattered his worship of this thing.
In the past, he was driven by martial arts.
But now, he has begun to make a comeback and is truly moving the stars with his own heart.
"I have to say he is the protagonist. His breakthrough in the battle is really fast!" After another fight, Lu Bai felt that the pressure brought by Lin Xing was further increasing.
The opponent was indeed talented. After his mentality changed, although the stars were shrunk by the Nether Flame, they helped him regenerate his broken limbs and paid a large amount of energy.
But now he is stronger than before.
The predictions of the stars plus his subjective thinking, the efficiency gained is not as simple as one plus one.
Before, the stars were able to see through Lu Bai’s surface, and then they were ambushed by Lu Bai’s hidden double-mindedness.
Now Lin Xing is filling in the gaps, which is equivalent to him moving from the first level to the second level.
It was difficult for Lu Bai to deceive the other party by trying to do two things at once, so he used an obvious trick to plot against the other party.
"So do you want to continue nesting dolls?" Continue. You thought I was on the first floor, but actually I was on the fifth floor.
However, Lu Bai thought about it and felt that this was not a good move. After all, he was playing with his cards open, and his skills and abilities were all on display.
As long as the opponent pays attention to your obvious moves and guards against any changes in secret, you can respond to all changes with the same strategy.
The only one who will suffer is yourself.
And as time goes by, his hands will only become heavier and heavier, and the gravity of the stars will become stronger and stronger. There is no limit yet.
Delaying it will only benefit Lin Xing.
"We still have to find a way to break the impasse." Lu Bai thought.
But you still need to know yourself and your enemy.
He now understands himself, but he doesn't understand his opponent.
What exactly are the stars that the other party keeps talking about, how do they work, and how do they connect with each other? All of this needs to be explored.
Lu Bai continued to transfer gravity, and through the changes of life and death, and the connection of cause and effect, he explored the origin of the opponent's stellar gravity.
After previous attempts, Lu Bai discovered some problems.
Although the pair of hands were the most dazzling one with brilliance shining on them, perhaps those hands were not the focus.
Those hands are just a container that gathers the power of the stars.
"Maybe the stars are really just stars!" Lu Bai has always regarded the stars as Lin Xing's nickname for his golden finger.
It is believed that the stars may be some special substance. This special substance, like Kewu’s technological equipment, assists Lin Xing in calculating the future and inducing gravity.
But what if the stars are really the starry sky in the sky?
Lu Bai still has some understanding of the fantasy dimension.
There is no truly boundless starry sky in the fantasy dimension, and some relatively smaller dimensions may not even have the sun and the moon.
Just look up in the fantasy dimension and you can see the corresponding sun, moon and stars.
Some people say that these celestial bodies in the fantasy dimension are actually just the Starry Sea, which is a projection of the real dimension where the earth is located.
Therefore, Lu Bai did not initially connect the other party's golden finger with the real starry sky.
Even on Earth, there has not been much exploration of the starry sky in the Constellation Sea, let alone directly utilizing the power of the stars.
This is too fantastical.
But just because Lin Xing can’t do anything doesn’t mean the dimension itself can’t do anything.
The fantasy dimension itself is attached to the real dimension, or to be more precise, to the part of the Earth that has intelligent life.
It is not impossible for a fantasy dimension to reflect the real starry sky and then borrow the power of this starry sky.
The question is how Lin Xing got connected to the projected starry sky.
As he was thinking about it, through the element of "borrowing strength", Lu Bai suddenly thought of Chang Lan.
Chang Lan also borrowed power, but he borrowed the mental power of other people through the metaverse.
And Lin Xing is leveraging the power of the stars.
“The metaverse is a virtual universe created by scientific and technological means, and it is itself a reflection of the real world.”
"So the fantasy dimension reflects the stars. Are the reflected stars considered the metaverse?"
"Dimensions move like small boats, stirring up the 'water flow' and forming ripples. Using these ripples to predict the future, are these ripples considered the metaverse?"
“Perhaps the reflected stars are the “water flow” that has been stirred up to create ripples!”
