It's so painful! So hard! So difficult!

The crimson blood gradually dried. And the black cloak had somehow returned to Bai Lin. She held high the sickle that had once been stabbed into her body. The dim afterglow burned like a flame, blazing upon the now-bent sickle.

The aura that should have been integrated into all things had already undergone earth-shattering changes, marked by the transformation known as death. This was the symbol of the "other side" of the wild god.

The realm of life naturally embraces the realm of death. The radiance ceased to radiate outward, instantly condensing within Bai Lin, veiled beneath a mysterious veil. At this moment, she dominated the boundary between life and death. Even Vandortino found it difficult to discern her aura. Her figure floated outward, before suddenly shifting to holding a scythe in both hands, resembling the universally recognized image of the Grim Reaper.

Or perhaps, she already is that kind of person.

Vandortino seemed relatively prepared for the enemy's attack. Although there were new variables, with divine authority in his grasp, ordinary changes were meaningless.

The attack he had launched earlier was essentially a way of mastering the biological capabilities of matter. He had used this to directly inject a large amount of DNA from alien creatures that did not belong to her and that she had never seen before into Bai Lin's body, thus causing her body to collapse.

It seems that the effect on her is limited, but it still exists. So, this time, we will directly attack the vital part and destroy her heart!

Vandotino raised the authority slightly, and the hand holding it suddenly pointed out. In an instant, the power had achieved its intended effect. This was the power of God, the inevitable and utter kill!

But looking at Bai Lin's body, there was no sign of slowing down. The next moment, he was in front of Vandortino. This surprised Vandortino immensely. She instantly raised her scarlet blade and blocked Bai Lin's attack.

Chapter 1034 True Shadow Moon Flash

In such a close exchange of weapons, she finally saw through the other party's secret.

Bai Lin's wounds, inflicted by her own suicide, and the arm shattered by Vandortino, were now tinged with the phantom light of dawn and dusk. They seemed to be ethereal, yet they were enough to support Bai Lin's movements and fill the gaps in her body. Her eyes, at this moment, had taken on the color of the soul that ruled the dead realm.

This was the other side of the Desolate God's ability. She could impersonate the souls of the deceased and partially materialize them, thus achieving immortality. The Desolate God was a deity skilled at summoning spirits. Previously, when she was in the abyss, she had manifested as a materialized spirit. This ability was nothing to her.

However, the God of Wilderness herself has a dead domain, and she has countless believers willing to lend their souls. The number that Bai Lin can lend is relatively limited.

But using only your own is enough.

The scythe swung with a swift, swift movement, instantly wounding Vandotino's flesh. The massive weapon swirled in her grasp like a dragon, effortlessly wielding it as if weightless. Countless flesh-like hands sprouted from beneath Vandotino's cloak, attempting to counterattack with sheer numbers and shapeshifting. But all she was met with was an even more brutal counterattack from Bai Lin.

Harvesting, severing, she cut down as if she were born to do this, wounding Vandortino's body and stinging her soul. In a rage, Vandortino leaped back and swung her massive arm, forcing Bai Lin, who was struggling to turn in the air, back. Then, the eyeballs on the arm lit up, and a large number of lasers pursued forward, blasting the enemy. A massive flame instantly erupted, obscuring everything around.

Bai Lin swung her scythe, trying her best to dissipate them, but her body was still wounded. Although her spirit body supplemented her physical body, the available energy was not unlimited. Fortunately, in the previous attack, she had also extracted the opponent's soul, which supplemented her own. At this point, she was still not in a serious situation in terms of movement.

Sweeping away the inflammation, what came towards her was the authority raised by Vandotino. She seemed to be roaring with a bit of madness,

"Soul, separation!"

Soul Control

The next moment, a soul, similar in form to her physical form, was pulled out of Bai Lin's body, heading forward. She realized she could no longer control her body. The uncontrolled body plummeted toward the ground, while the unprotected soul was being carried towards the other side.

This was another power of the gods. Since they could control souls, they also had ten thousand ways to destroy them. If they continued to allow the other party to act in this way, Bai Lin would surely die.

What should I do at this moment?

Bai Lin, in her spirit form, was toyed with and pulled right in front of Vandortino. Then, she instantly sprang into action, her spirit body punching the opponent fiercely. Immediately afterwards, a torrential downpour of attacks was also unleashed in a surprise attack.

Impossible! What's going on? Ordinary people can't resist soul manipulation. Even if they had the strength to struggle, how much could they react in such a short time? And judging by the situation, she had already thought about how to respond the moment I pulled her soul out? What about this fierce punch? It also brought bursts of scorching heat, hotter than the sun itself. This isn't the strength a spirit should have. Could it be...?

Vandotino screamed in his heart, waving his claws wildly. Meanwhile, Bai Lin's soul had already returned to his body, regained control, and fell to the ground.

Is this guy's soul so powerful?

Having reached this conclusion, Vandotino exchanged glances with the other man once more. She felt a heavy, complex feeling brewing within her. But her turmoil didn't last a moment. The next moment, her authority was already raised high, and the judgment of the gods had already arrived.

"So what if you're so powerful? Compared to the real threat, you're just a drop in the ocean. You can't defeat me. You're just a tiny, insignificant bug!"

Showing taboos

Another divine power struck Bai Lin. In an instant, Bai Lin's vision dimmed, as if she were in another dimension. And behind that boundless darkness, something seemed to surge, eager to do something to her...

Matter, soul, and then, spirit. Vandotino instantly poured all the forbidden knowledge he had seen and heard over his long years into the other person's mind.

Simple distortion and manipulation could no longer crush Bai Lin. Vandortino knew only too well the depth of her spirit. Thus, from the outset, she displayed the utmost respect. This was beyond the grasp of a mortal. Those powerful and mysterious insights would shatter the fragile outlook on life she had built up over just twenty years. Like a dam bursting, it would inevitably and completely crumble, leaving behind only a vast, devastating ocean.

Please accept this chaos that I personally prepared for you!

Bai Lin landed heavily on the ground, stumbling slightly, as if slightly dazed. But the next moment, she was flying again, the dancing scythe accompanying her, striking once more at Vandortino. She seemed completely unaffected.

"What's going on? It didn't work?!"

Vandotino cried out in shock, unleashing her rays once more at Bai Lin. She was then drawn into close combat, where she was once again wounded. She was incredibly confident in her abilities, and the successive failures had already taken her by surprise. This time, the results seemed even more illogical than before.

"If I had to say...it probably worked. You really made me see a lot of things and hear a lot of voices. I still feel the chaotic contents interfering with my thoughts, lingering in my mind, and whispering in my ears."

"But, so what? No matter how much you've seen, you must die here. I won't be swayed!"

Bai Lin roared, hooking her scythe through Vandotino's body before hurling herself into the air, hanging upside down. Beneath the sun's shadow, the weapon in her hand instantly transformed again. The two blades met, bathed in moonlight. The shadowless moonlight lingered coldly in her heart, radiating from her blades as well.

She dodged Vandotino's attack perfectly with a back jump.

She dodged Vandotino's attack perfectly with a back jump.

Chapter 1036 What is Weight?

Then, her taut shoulder muscles instantly exerted force, and the two blades curved, one real and one virtual, like slicing through a mirror, striking Vandotino with a powerful tearing force. Meanwhile, Bai Lin quickly reached behind him. Without searching for a foothold, she spun around. The front blade pointed downward, pressed against her chest, her back hand hidden behind her waist, murderous intent surging from her body.

Utopia in the Mirror·Final Style·Kaleidoscope

Two clean, sharp thrusts penetrated Vandortino's body, drawing a cry of pain. However, the opponent's body seemed less fragile than his previous opponent, preventing Bai Lin from immediately connecting with the subsequent slashing blow from the Kaleidoscope, giving Vandortino ample time to react. The wings on the god's back spread wide, as if about to sprout something and devour Bai Lin.

At this moment, another violent tearing sensation caused Vandortino to cry out in pain, interrupting her actions. It turned out to be the shadow attack of True Shadow Moon Flash, which had taken effect.

As a martial arts master already unrivaled in the world, how could Bai Lin possibly miscalculate her opponent's physical strength? As the slash took effect, her flowing blades began to fly, following the wound, instantly inflicting heavy damage on Vandortino. With her remaining momentum in the air, Bai Lin kicked the opponent's body and leaped back to the ground. As soon as she regained her balance, she formed a spear.

Suddenly, the cloak faded away, and a powerful flame quickly ignited, engulfing Bai Lin's entire body. She took another step and fired a spear directly at the god who had just turned around.

"Don't be so presumptuous. You are not perfect. I have to bear far more than you...!"

Vandortino's fingers flicked slightly, and this time, Bai Lin, along with the rest of his body, flew straight into the air. She reached into the air with one hand, attempting to extinguish the dragon's flames. Realizing she couldn't do that, she then tried to slow them down, which did have some effect.

But Bai Lin, having lost half her body, didn't let that slow her down. She instantly caught up with the Dragon Spear, arriving in front of Vandortino with it. Her cloak had somehow returned to her body, and she swung the fan bone in her hand, catching the spear head mid-air. It transformed into the Wild God's Death Scythe, filling the gaping hole in her body. With a heavy blow, she met the power.

Although Bai Lin was in the air and couldn't fly, she didn't seem to be struggling at all. She approached him and said to him,

"I've never thought of competing with you in terms of how much weight we carry. The more you carry, the heavier the burden, and the heavier and more determined your steps will be. But that doesn't mean you can accomplish as much as you carry."

"Roads are always paved by people. What good is it to dwell on the past? You, the Dusk Gods... none of you bear the burden of your own past or the past of others. You are all the past, and I am the present."

With that, the weight of the sickle blade shook Vandotino's body. Bai Lin's aura surged, her pulse pounding, her heart roaring. A heavy slash of the blade revitalized her flesh, and then, with a terrifying humming sound, the mechanical gauntlet landed on her body. A burst of flaming light erupted.

It's the fire-breathing, heavy-punching segment that she and we all love.

Without any overload, Bai Lin immediately launched into a full-throttle attack, unleashing increasingly heavy punches at the god at a rapid pace. Although Bai Lin had wielded these weapons during his time fighting alongside the knights, Xiao Nuo had never witnessed him use them. Under this crushing blow, she finally felt a slight wavering in her mind, regretting whether she had underestimated Bai Lin.

Wasn't she just an ordinary person with relatively good skills and a strong body? Was all this also deliberately arranged by the poet?

Knowing he was no match for the opponent in close combat, Vandortino raised his eyes and used mental control to slow Bai Lin's movements for a moment. Then, he raised his hand and swung it out, simultaneously knocking the opponent's soul out of his body. The giant hand also swung out in the opposite direction, instantly enveloping Bai Lin's soul and attempting to crush it. Simultaneously, countless large eyes opened and shot directly at Bai Lin's body.

However, Bai Lin's spirit punched through the arm and rushed towards her physical body. Her physical body was even more incredible, unconsciously removing the limiter. Heat erupted, and Explosion Mode, Extremely Specialized, Red Lotus State, instantly emerged. Her figure, like a flash of fire, swiftly dodged all dangers and then merged with her spirit.

After spinning, throwing punches, and swinging hard, Bai Lin's attacks continued without pause, and the fight continued to heat up.

Feeling the punches coming faster and stronger than before, even continuing to rise, Vandotino pressed her stance. While injecting her genes into Bai Lin, she also seized control of one of his arms, then used mental control to forcibly interrupt his movements. While the effect was limited, it only momentarily halted Bai Lin's attack, allowing her to seize the offensive turn.

A ruthless sword strike struck Bai Lin hard. The humming of steel stopped for a moment as Bai Lin's body was bruised, the steel and iron hidden beneath her skin shattering to the ground. Before she even touched the ground, Vandortino was already behind her, ready to pierce Bai Lin's body with his sword.

Seeing this, using his gloves to block was clearly irrational. Bai Lin raised his fist, splitting it back into the shield. With difficulty, he blocked the sword, only to be sent flying again. Following closely behind, Vandortino's laser attack came directly at Bai Lin in an overwhelming attack.

The shield, already accumulating energy, simultaneously pressed its restrained aura deep into Bai Lin's body. Despite her impaired body, she seemed unaffected. She closed her eyes and slashed the sword across the shield.

Fleeting Slash

In an instant, she locked onto all the lasers, and with just one sword stroke, she destroyed them all. Then she landed steadily on the ground, and immediately started running again, rushing straight towards Vandotino.

Vandortino raised her authority, and this time, she directly blew Bai Lin's kick to pieces. However, Bai Lin seemed to have anticipated it, and at the same moment of being injured, he stuck the knife into the ground, sending the whole person flying into the air.

Chapter 1037 Heart of the Universe

Her center of gravity seemed unaffected by the loss of her limb, or perhaps adapting to the damage was a piece of cake for her. Flying into the air, she was engulfed by the evil dragon's demonic flames. Unleashing her second burst of power, her unstoppable aura soared into the sky, charging towards Vandortino.

Vandortino was about to recreate her ability to slow the opponent's attack, but the dragon flames that filled the sky had already dissipated. Her power was unattainable because Bai Lin's body was no longer there. When she regained consciousness, countless dark shadows had already reached a height higher than Vandortino.

One of their hands swiftly swung out its sickle and chain, hooking it around Vandotino's body. In an effort to escape, Vandotino instantly shattered them all, then reshaped her body. But during this moment, Bai Lin's body had already reached her. Fierce chainsaw magic surged from the black sword, colliding with her hastily thrust crimson blade. Bai Lin quickly sent it flying, swiftly piercing Vandotino's body.

The intense pain extinguished Vandotino's will. Just as he was about to control his body to respond, the giant sword had already turned back into a broken sword, and Bai Lin stepped on it and leaped high.

Sunfire filled the air, a fiery glow emanating from the blade's tip. Bai Lin landed a heavy blow on Vandortino's skull. Then, her form vanished once more, a piercing burst of dragon flames piercing through her, a devastating blow descending.

The slashing of her two blades allowed her already ghostly form to unleash an even more cunning attack. This was followed by a knockout blow from a mechanical punch. The divine scythe slashed downwards from above. Then, Bai Lin returned to the broken sword lodged in Vandortino's body, transforming it once more. With a slash and a collision, the heavy sword's sharp edge pursued Vandortino, inflicting another heavy blow.

Overwhelmed, ghostly, the ever-changing attacks finally overwhelmed Vandortino. Even though she possessed even more diverse abilities than Bai Lin, she still managed to find a way to counter them. It had been like this before when she had the body of a perfect creature, and it was even more so now. Bai Lin's power had already surpassed her imagination.

Has she gotten stronger again? Could it be that her fighting spirit is gradually growing stronger? It's because I, the old man, have displayed even more powerful abilities, causing Bai Lin, who never thought she could lose, to unconsciously enhance her own abilities.

Vandotino thought so. She finally grasped Bai Lin's terrifying nature. This person was no human; she was the true monster. As the saying goes, when you truly want to do something, you feel like the entire universe is helping you. While that's a highly subjective statement, it's also the most genuine feeling for the person involved.

Bai Lin, however, grew stronger and stronger amidst this intense feeling. After receiving the power and protection bestowed by the poet, she took complete control of her destiny, becoming the "center of the universe." And Vandortino was powerless to shake her heart. It was she who had brought all this about, the very situation in which Bai Lin would inevitably attack and tear her apart.

Bai Lin fell to the ground, looking at the props that fell around her one by one, and slowly picked them up. She showed her sword and shield, looked at Vandortino who was already in a state of embarrassment in the air, and said,

"What's wrong, Vandotino? Aren't you going to destroy this world and become its enemy? What I'm using is just a microcosm of what this world has inflicted on me."

As she spoke, her eyes narrowed and her body lowered. It was as if all the strange existences weighed on her shoulders. Sunlight, moonlight, the brilliance at the end of the universe, the boundless darkness, everything, pointed to her will to win. She spoke each word with great emphasis, declaring,

"You can't even handle this, and yet you claim to be a god? Today, let me perform this deification ritual for you."

After a long build-up of momentum, she leaped forth once more. The sharp edge of her blazing flames darted forth, revealing every moment of her journey, the laughter, the tears. The weight of the world rested upon her, borne in this single blow. Every inch her blade traversed seemed to bring to life images of the world she had seen and experienced. It was the past she carried, the people and things that sustained her.
