From the end of the world

Chapter 737 Asahi's Saving Power

While keeping an eye on the battlefield near Zhu Shi, I held Ma Zao and constantly dodged and defended against the attacks of Du Shuoshan Huangquan, while also launching counterattacks frequently.

Compared to the opponent's excessively large body, attacks emphasizing density cannot cause sufficient area damage, while attacks emphasizing scale lack depth. The super-fast regeneration ability provided by Naraku's Gospel to Dushuoshan Huangquan will restore the damage painstakingly accumulated to its original state. Tearing, repairing, tearing, repairing… Without this powerful regeneration, Dushuoshan Huangquan would already be riddled with holes. This tug-of-war of contradictions, which has repeated countless times, is still a long way from victory.

After my power reached the Great Impermanence realm, Asahi gently patted my arm.

“Zhuang Cheng… I’ll take care of this enemy,” she said.

It sounds like she wants to solve the problem of Dushuo Mountain's Yellow Springs all by herself.

I decided to trust her and slowly loosened my grip. She took a deep breath, moved, and disappeared from the spot.

In an instant, she was transported to the sky above the Yellow Springs of Dushuo Mountain, and then looked down at the huge and twisted monster of flesh and blood.

Upon recognizing its new enemy, Dushuoshan Huangquan let out a deafening roar. Its entire body burst open, from which countless terrifying and bloody arms emerged, wrapped in a yellow-black magical power that seemed capable of corrupting everything, reaching straight for Ma Zao.

Witnessing this horrifying scene, Masa's expression remained unchanged, and her body remained motionless as she surveyed the scene. An invisible wave emanated from her, and the terrifying arms, about to touch Masa, stopped abruptly as if encountering immense resistance.

The immense power of reversion is profoundly affecting those arms, making them uncontrollable, unable to move forward even an inch, and even showing a tendency to retract.

As if enraged, Dushuoshan Huangquan's massive, mountain-like body shot upwards, attempting to pounce on Mazao. However, the power of return surged forth like an unbreakable wall, repeatedly pushing Dushuoshan Huangquan back.

"Teacher... I can't forgive you."

Asaha stared intently at the Yellow Springs of Mount Dushuo, and slowly said, "You have brought me countless pains and tribulations, forcing me to kill those who only wanted to live through various means, deceiving me more than once into committing irreparable sins without my knowledge, and then cruelly exposing them to me... In order to test the planet's natural will's attention to me, you deliberately induced me to make one new friend after another, and then devised situations that plunged us all into desperate situations, making me despair time and time again..."

"However, those were all sins I committed with my own hands. Whether it was the people I killed or the sins I accumulated... even the deaths of my former companions were caused by my acquaintance with them. I will not blame all those misfortunes on you, nor will I run away from my past. I will use my actions to make up for the countless irreparable mistakes I made in the past. Even so, teacher, I still cannot forgive you."

"But you also taught me how to live in this world, how to distinguish between lies and truth, how to overcome terror with courage, and even what is good and what is evil... I often couldn't understand what you were thinking. If you had simply treated me as an insignificant experimental subject, instead of letting me develop the values ​​I have now, perhaps I wouldn't have betrayed you later..."

"At least one thing I'm very clear about: without you, I wouldn't be who I am today... so I both hate you and am incredibly grateful to you."

While gaining the power of the Great Impermanence, Asaha also seems to have regained all her memories from her time at Fukuinin.

Dushuoshan Huangquan seemed unable to understand what Mazao was saying. It just twisted its terrifying monster body violently, baring its fangs and claws in an attempt to attack the other party, completely unaware that the girl in front of it was the personal disciple it had raised and nurtured in the past.

Mazao's figure disappeared from the original spot again, and then she appeared on the "top of the mountain" of Dushuo Mountain Yellow Spring, her palm touching the body of the giant monster.

“—Let me liberate you, teacher,” she said.

An invisible force of regeneration erupted from her palm, spreading out into the boundless distance. Dushuo Mountain Yellow Springs was the first to be affected, suffering the most severe impact. Previously, its body had been torn apart countless times by my flames, and then repaired with its super-fast regeneration. But now, under the influence of the force of regeneration, those old wounds that had disappeared returned once again, and all of them burst open at the same time.

Dushuoshan Huangquan was instantly covered in wounds and let out an extremely painful roar. His previously infallible super-fast regeneration ability failed to activate again, and massive amounts of blood plasma and tissue fluid poured out of the wounds uncontrollably.

It is hurtling toward the abyss of death.

The Naraku Gospel seems to have abandoned it, no longer repairing its body.

This statement might not be entirely accurate; perhaps Naraku Gospel is still attempting to repair its body, but there might be a priority issue involved. Asahaya is currently using Naraku Gospel's power.

As a monster formed by the fusion of its own soul and the afterlife, Dosakuyama Yomi likely inherited Naraku's chaotic impulse to kill all humanity after Naraku took over the afterlife. Its insane desire to kill me and Asahaya at all costs is strikingly similar to those doomsday demons. The power it currently wields is probably designed to kill all humanity.

On the other hand, Asahi uses the savior power of Naraku Gospel, which is intended to correct all the mistakes of the new world and to eliminate all monsters and witchers.

Both sides possess the power of Naraku's Gospel, so they shouldn't be in conflict. Moreover, those wielding this power are both powerful demon hunters symbolizing the world's flaws; perhaps Naraku's Gospel power shouldn't have descended upon these two in the first place. However, Naraku's Gospel doesn't possess the high degree of integration found in human souls; its existence is inherently chaotic, making such self-contradictions and divisions perfectly normal. As for whether Naraku's Gospel prioritizes "restoring the world" or "exterminating humanity," the answer is obvious. The latter is merely a means to achieve the former. Furthermore, regarding the specific executor, Yomi of Mount Dosaku is likely just another tool for Naraku's Gospel in its quest to exterminate humanity, incomparable to Asahaya's uniqueness.

The twisted and absurd flesh and blood monster of Dushuo Mountain's Yellow Springs should have collapsed and died long ago; the numerous rotten and necrotic parts on its body seem to hint at this. It only managed to survive thanks to its super-fast regeneration. Now, having encountered the power of rebirth that can reverse its super-fast regeneration, its body seems to have entered an irreversible process of decay.

No... this is not as simple as just disabling the overspeed regeneration state.

Dushuo Mountain Huangquan was still trying to use his yellow-black magic to maintain and repair his festering body. However, as soon as he encountered the invisible power of return, the yellow-black magic dissolved and disappeared on the spot, just like filth meeting clear water.

In the past, Asahi had used her power of return to nullify the supernatural abilities displayed by her enemies. But this time it was completely different; the strange power seemed to have been denied in its very existence, disappearing from this world.

The enormous fleshy monster struggled incessantly, seemingly trying to shake off Mazao from its back, but Mazao remained unmoved, pressing her palms against the monster's body.

She slowly recited the ancient scriptures.

"All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows, dew, and lightning; thus should they be viewed—"

The strength of the Returning Power has increased by a significant step. This time, it's not just that the collapse of Dushuoshan Huangquan's body has accelerated; even the spacetime of this region is gradually being repaired. The surrounding spacetime storms have been weakened and disturbed, and even torn apart by the Returning Power, revealing blurry cracks.

The spacetime storm is also a strange force, and it is the target of the retribution force.

The power to save the world is revealed here.

One of the rifts that tore open led to the battlefield between Mingzhuo and Jianfeixian.

"Zhuang Cheng, let's go!" Ma Zao shouted.

Without hesitation, I rushed toward the crevice.

Mingzhuo was also watching the changes here very closely. The moment he observed that the spacetime storm was actually torn apart, he showed a look of great alarm.

"Oops……!"

He raised his hand, as if to repair the crack that had appeared in the distance.

Jian Feixian seized the opportunity when he was distracted and cleaved his head off with a sword strike.

What goes around comes around. Last time, Mingzhuo stopped Jian Feixian from cutting open the spacetime storm, and this time it's Jian Feixian's turn to stop Mingzhuo from repairing the spacetime storm.

Although this sword strike couldn't truly kill Mingzhuo, it was enough to stop him from performing his actions. Taking advantage of this excellent opportunity, I instantly passed through the rift in the spacetime storm and arrived at the spacetime layer where these two people were located.

Ming Zhuo was resurrected on the spot in the blink of an eye. Before he could utter a word, I fired a fire beam cannon at him. He immediately manipulated the spacetime storm again, using it as a defensive measure to completely envelop himself.

The spacetime storm once again split spacetime, turning the place where I and Mingzhuo were into two separate planes that could not interfere with each other. The flame beam passed through him as if it were passing through a mirage.

Before Mingzhuo could even breathe a sigh of relief, a portion of my flame pierced through the barrier of time and space, punching right through his chest.

This region is filled with Asahi's power of salvation and return, and the barriers formed by the spacetime storm are beginning to show their flaws.

Mingzhuo was immediately severely injured. He quickly retreated to escape, and at the same time, he smashed his own head with his own hands. He then revived on the spot in full condition.

“Jian Feixian, you go to Fazheng first,” I said. “I will kill Mingzhuo.”
