Collapse, Kaslana's Way of Survival

Glancing at the Heavenly Fire Judgment in Kainuo's hand, Su Mei stared at Fu Hua, the corners of her mouth curled up, and her figure gradually disappeared.

Controlling the refraction of light is the ability of Ma Fei Ma Xuan Yuan Sword.

"You took the core from the Xuanyuan Sword and fused it with it."

Fu Hua raised the sword Duanhai, stared at an empty place beside Lin Chaoyu and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, in order to understand the secret of your immortality and undying power, I spent a full fifteen years studying the Xuanyuan you left behind in Taixu Mountain. Since then, I have been looking forward to the day when several Xuanyuans can be gathered together."

Su Mei's figure slowly emerged from Lin Chaoyu's side and she sighed slightly.

"As expected of you, Master! Little Pony Xuanyuan's abilities are completely useless to you. But now that your strength has been damaged and your feathers are useless to me, can you still defeat me?"

After saying that, Su Mei picked up Xuanyuan who was beside Lin Chaoyu and rushed towards Fu Hua.

Fu Hua changed her moves with her hands, and the sword and thunder were released instantly. Su Mei's figure immediately flew back the same way and fell on the floor of the house.

"Ahem, you are indeed worthy of being the master."

Su Mei got up from the ground, and her body, which was injured by Fu Hua, recovered quickly.

"But you can't kill me, and how much longer can you hold on?"

Fu Hua looked at Su Mei and frowned slightly.

"I don't understand. If you simply wanted to kill me to avenge your father, there would be no need to spend all these years studying how to become a Herrscher. You could have easily killed me back then. A Herrscher... I should have explained to you what it is."

"Yes, of course you did. Surrender to the so-called God, and give up your life, which only knew how to destroy humanity."

Su Mei smiled and said:

"But as you said, didn't you? The only way for God's apostles to survive is to be killed by humans. Ordinary birth, aging, sickness, and death will never befall them again."

"Master, you don't think the reason I want to kill you is really to avenge my parents, do you? I admit that I did have this thought when I first became your disciple. But after a few years, when I saw that my senior sister was slowly aging while you still looked the same, my thoughts changed."

"Revenge for my parents? Ha, what does that mean compared to eternal youth and immortality?"

"You were planning to kill me then?"

Fu Hua's expression became increasingly gloomy.

"Yes, it was at that time. You didn't even tell your closest senior sister the secret of immortality, so how could you tell me? So I had no choice but to kill you and find it myself."

"It's a pity that my senior and junior sisters also had their parents killed by you, but I can't persuade them to avenge their parents. I have no choice but to find another way."

"I alienated my senior sisters and seduced the sixth. The third and fourth junior sisters refused to listen, so I had the sixth sister, whom they loved, lead them to absorb the true energy and become demons, while also confirming their potential to become apostles of God. I couldn't persuade the fifth junior sister, but fortunately, I later discovered her swordsmanship."

"As for Seventh Junior Sister? She's the closest to you. Fortunately, I fostered her intimacy with you, encouraging her to keep your body with her after your death. This way, even if you truly return from the dead, you won't look for me first. I only need to keep an eye on Junior Sister."

Speaking of this, Su Mei's expression was a little sad.

"It's a shame that you're so indifferent to one of your killers, and you just want Xuanyuan back. There's no other way. The seven Xuanyuan Swords will never be reunited. If they can survive by handing over Xuanyuan, they'll definitely do it."

Fu Hua gritted her teeth and looked at Su Mei angrily.

"So, the fire at Yixin Villa was also you..."

"That's right, I was the one who put it there. After all, only in this way would they become nervous. After all, after so many years, they must have some regrets. Only when the lives of those they care about are threatened will they regain their determination to kill you and reunite with you."

Suddenly, the temperature in the room dropped rapidly, and a sword light flashed past Su Mei's side.

A fist gust of wind swept up, and the power of a mountain collapse was manifested from Fu Hua's hand. Carrying Fu Hua's anger, it attacked Su Mei heavily and punched her hard in the face.

Chapter 36: Herrscher Core

With the thud of something heavy falling to the ground, the room fell silent.

Li Sushang, Xuanyuan in hand, stood where Su Mei had been. Her body was still trembling, tears streaming from her eyes. Fu Hua stood near her, panting slightly, and the Yu Duchen in the room gradually dissipated.

The residual illusion that Fu Hua created for Li Suchang, along with Su Mei's words, recreated her mother's life. The bloody reality and full of hatred made Li Suchang cross the last threshold of the sword heart with the intention of killing Su Mei.

The sword heart that reached the Taixu realm allowed Li Sushang to directly escape from the remaining Yu Duchen illusion, and the murderous intent filled in the sword heart prompted her to cut Su Mei in half.

Fu Hua's final attack was to knock Su Mei's head off her neck with one punch. The smiling face on the other's corpse was still extremely clear.

Both Li Suchang, who had just reached the sword heart, and Fu Hua, whose body had been tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations, were extremely fast, and Su Mei was completely unable to react to their attacks.

Of course, the attacks of both were essentially to vent their anger. The damage they caused was just a wound that could be repaired by activating the energy of destruction for Su Mei, who possessed some of the power of the Herrscher of Death and could regenerate rapidly.

That's how it should be.

"Kaslana's ice? No... This is the power of the Herrscher of Ice."

An angry expression was visible on Fu Hua's seal. She stared at the solid ice that froze Su Mei and whispered.

At this moment, Su Mei's body was divided into three parts, with her head, upper body, and lower body all completely encased in deep blue ice. Several tiny black mists continued to corrode the ice, but the missing parts were quickly filled in.

This new Ruler, who simultaneously mastered the feeble powers of the three Herrschers of Wind, Death, and Consciousness, was trapped in the ice.

And unlike those Herrschers who are composed purely of consciousness, Su Mei's existence still cannot be separated from the body. Trapped in the ice and unable to breathe, she is about to die completely.

If a normal Herrscher relied on absorbing Honkai energy from the imaginary space, he could survive, but as Fu Hua said, the Herrschers in this world could not absorb Honkai energy from the imaginary space.

Even if Su Mei had not taken out the Herrscher core from the Xuanyuan Sword, there would be no chance of becoming a Herrscher at all.

"That's also the power of my stigma. Since my stigma can have the power of the Herrscher of Wind, it would be reasonable to also have the power of the Herrscher of Ice, right?"

Keno came from a distance and shrugged.

The ice that froze Su Mei was naturally released by him. Although it was the weakest of his six powers and therefore had a low presence, it was not difficult to freeze this disabled Herrscher.

What's more, Su Mei is too arrogant.

I don't know if it was because years of planning had finally come to fruition, or because she realized that Fu Hua's attacks had no effect on her - but no matter what the reason, it was a fact that she was overly inflated.

If she hadn't been there explaining her years-long plan, thus angering Fu Hua and causing Li Suchang to break through Jianxin, her ending probably wouldn't be what it is now.

...At least he wouldn't lose so badly, with his body broken into three pieces.

"But speaking of which, Kaslana can naturally use ice? This is the first time I've heard of it in my life."

"Kaslana's bloodline does have the ability to wield ice, otherwise the Holy Judgment of Skyfire wouldn't have become Kaslana's family heirloom. It's just that most people haven't been able to awaken it."

Come to think of it, there does seem to be a rumor that my dad released the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire many times during the second collapse. At first, I thought it was fabricated by some of my dad's fans.

Now it seems, is it true?

"So, how is she going to deal with this?"

Kainuo kicked Su Mei, who was frozen into an ice lump, and asked Fu Hua and Li Sushang.

Although he hated Su Mei's behavior, in the final analysis, Kainuo had no connection with her. But Li Sushang and Fu Hua were different. One had her mother and the whole village killed, while the other was killed herself. Both of them had a deep hatred for Su Mei.

Fu Hua shook his head.

"Let Su Shang and Zhao Yu decide. They have the power to do so after being deceived and exploited."

After hearing this, Li Sushang came back to her senses from the excitement of "revenge" and "neighbor's wife, Chao Jing, playing tricks on me." She bit her lip and said hesitantly:

"I want to place her body in front of my parents' graves to rest their souls in peace."

Seeing that Fu Hua had no intention of responding, Kainuo thought for a moment and said:

"Okay, I have no objection. But before that, we have to remove the Herrscher core from her body, so that no one can take advantage of it, or the core can be used to resurrect her."

Human greed is endless. No one can tell whether someone will set their sights on the Herrscher core in the future in pursuit of immortality, thereby digging out Su Mei's bones and causing even greater disaster.

And to be honest...Kaino also wants the core that is the fusion of the three Xuanyuan Swords.

Keno looked down upon the power that came with the three cores. But he hadn't forgotten that one of the purposes of his visit to Shenzhou was to free his body from single-threadedness.

Although his original plan was to practice the Sword Heart Technique of the Red Kite Immortal, since his body conflicted with the Sword Heart Technique and there was a Herrscher core that could be used as a CPU in front of him, why should he go far away?

"Fu Hua, why don't you let me keep that core? I just happen to need a Herrscher core."

"Herrscher Core?"

Fu Hua frowned upon hearing this and looked at Kainuo suspiciously.

"Come to think of it, although I didn't read Su Shang's memories, you did display the abilities of the Herrscher of Reason, the Herrscher of Void, and the Herrscher of Death in the illusion formed based on Su Shang's consciousness."

"And I noticed when you used your Herrscher's power a few times before that you didn't seem to absorb Houkai energy from the outside world. So where did you get your Houkai energy from?"

Wuhu, finished.

Kainuo widened his eyes and looked at Li Suchang, who was looking at him with curiosity, with despair.

You can just dream if you want, why do you want to expose my secrets?

Kainuo was not afraid to show his abilities to Li Suchang, because he was confident in his own strength and trusting in Li Suchang's character. But the most important thing was that Li Suchang initially understood her powers as martial arts.

This shows that the other party does not know the specific situation about the Herrscher, so Kayno felt confident in showing it.

But to those who understand this aspect, his ability is more like a Herrscher whose core cannot be detected rather than a stigma.

If it was an ordinary situation, he could explain it to an acquaintance, but he and the Immortal had only known each other for less than half a day, and just now someone had taken out the Core Transformer in front of him and the others.

In this situation……

Kaino prepared himself to defend himself.

"can."

After being silent for a while, Fu Hua suddenly spoke and looked at Kainuo with a serious expression.

"I can give you this core. Besides, it would be difficult for me to kill her without you. In this case, the core is your trophy."

"Uh," Fu Hua's reaction was beyond Kainuo's expectations. So Kainuo blinked and asked tentatively, "Fu Hua, aren't you worried that I might have ulterior motives?"

"Even after being disconnected from the tree and becoming a Herrscher through the fusion of the core, she was able to retain her self-awareness. Su Mei became like this because of her true nature."

"Although we've only known each other for less than half a day, your performance shows that you're truly on the side against the Honkai. So, it's perfectly fine to hand the core over to you. Furthermore, since you haven't lied to me before, I'll naturally keep my trust in you."

"Besides, it would be difficult for me to stop you if you wanted to rob me."

"Of course, if possible, I hope you can do me a favor as a reward for giving you the core and helping you return home. Of course, this will not be beyond your ability, nor will it go against your heart."

"I just want you to use the power of the Ruler of Reason to help me construct something."

Chapter 37 Split up

"Okay, what is it?"

Kaino agreed without hesitation.

Constructing objects was easy for Keno, practically a piece of cake, so he naturally wouldn't refuse. Furthermore, helping others wasn't something Keno could accept without a clear conscience.

"I'm not quite sure what exactly needs to be constructed, I just know it's a battery. After we return to Taixu Mountain, I'll give you the corresponding information to help you complete the construction more smoothly."

Under Kainuo's increasingly strange gaze, Fu Hua stated her request.

"Battery? Wait, Fu Hua, it's 1495 AD, right?"

Keno swallowed and couldn't help but wonder if he had traveled through time again inexplicably.

“That’s the year.”

Fu Hua was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"I understand your problem. It's simply that batteries aren't something we should have in this day and age. But that's why I need your help instead of trying to make it myself, right?"

"As for why I know about batteries, the reasons are too long to explain. After you help me, I will ask a friend of mine to help you resolve your doubts... and I might ask you for another favor then."

"It's no problem to help me with one more favor, but could you please first explain clearly what you need me to do? If it's too difficult, I'll be mentally prepared."

Kainuo scratched his head in distress.

"I forgot."

Fu Hua shook her head, looking a little embarrassed.

Kaino's expression gradually became subtle.

"I was hit in the head by Zhao Yu and the others, and I've lost a lot of my memories. In fact, even my memories of them have only gradually come back over the past few months. I asked them why they killed me, and I also wanted to supplement my memories."

"Aside from a few memories from many years ago, I only remember that I was in Shenzhou to protect the people and train warriors to fight against the Honkai. I was also looking for someone with a huge reserve of Honkai energy or someone who could directly draw Honkai energy from the imaginary space."

"I don't remember why I was looking for such a person anymore. I only know that this concerns the survival of this world. But my friend does remember."

"The world's survival... Fine, if you think I can do it, I'll try my best."

Fu Hua didn't remember the details, so further questioning wouldn't yield any more specific answers. So, Kainuo simply nodded and turned to look at Li Sushang.

"Li Sushang, are you going to take Su Mei's body back to the Reminiscence Heart Villa? I won't go with you. I will go directly to Taixu Mountain with Fu Hua."

"Hey, Rakshasa, why don't you come with me to Yixin first... Oh, forget it, forget it, you should go to Taixu Mountain with Master first. Looking up information and batteries and so on, it sounds like you'll be busy for a long time, right?"

Li Sushang's eyes rolled around, her earlobes turned slightly red, and she spoke a little embarrassedly:
