127: Chapter 127 They All Must Die

[Overlords Heavy Body], when it was in Xiang Tian's hands, was a trump card that relied on risking one's life.

Once activated, if the opponent could not be defeated within ten seconds, the user would fall into a prolonged period of True Qi stagnation.

Upon reaching Perfection, the duration could be extended by paying a greater price.

However, fundamentally, this secret technique consumed too much True Qi for a Tiangang Realm Martial Artist.

The Meridians in the body could not bear such a massive output of True Qi.

But Chen Moxuan's volume of True Qi and his recovery rate were far superior to other Martial Artists of the same realm.

Combined with his Breakthrough under continuous heavy pressure in the Land of Inheritance and the unique nature of his Martial God Body, the toughness of his Meridians was unrivaled among those of his level.

In Chen Moxuan's hands, [Overlords Heavy Body] could be continuously maintained for three minutes when fully activated.

But the [Overlords Heavy Body] he had modified could also be used at will, activated only during critical attacks.

After delivering a blow, he would immediately disperse the secret technique.

By using [Overlords Heavy Body] with such precision, the duration could be extended to ten minutes.

The founder of the Xiang Family who originally created the [Overlords Heavy Body] secret technique was not incapable of using it this way.

It was just that for the convenience of other clansmen to Cultivate, it had been simplified many times over.

Moreover, the consumption from activating and dispersing the secret technique at will, as Chen Moxuan did, would be even higher than keeping it active the whole time.

This extremely precise control technique was something almost no Tiangang Realm Martial Artist could achieve.

Now, having learned the Origin rules of the secret technique through [Po Yuan], combined with the deduction and analysis of [All-Things Calculation] and Chen Moxuan's own adaptations, [Overlords Heavy Body] began to unleash its true power.

"Bang!"

Only two phantom images of his legs overlapped with Chen Moxuan's own legs as he stepped forward abruptly.

In an instant, the ground beneath his feet shattered with a roar.

A visible shockwave exploded, and Chen Moxuan's figure suddenly turned into a blur, chasing after the kicked-away Rewinder.

That kick just now had shattered Rewinder's internal organs; if it were an ordinary Tiangang Realm Martial Artist, they certainly would not have survived.

But the vitality of a Transcendent was extremely tenacious and could not be judged by common sense.

Just look at how Explosive Flame King could survive for a long time with only his head left, let alone this Rewinder, who was an A-Rank Hero.

Furthermore, the pressure formed by the reversed air was still acting on him, which precisely indicated that Rewinder was still conscious.

"To kill with one blow, I must destroy the head."

The Soul resides in the head; as long as the head is destroyed, a Transcendent will die on the spot, unless they possess a Special Ability or means for their Soul to leave the body without dissipating.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

Carried by the massive impact, Rewinder had already flown over fifty meters away, his backward momentum still as uncontrollable as a wild horse.

Yet Chen Moxuan, bearing the immense resistance of the reversal, approached at an even faster speed.

As he circulated his True Qi, his left fist, wrapped in violent thunder and bolstered by the phantom of [Overlords Heavy Body], struck straight toward Rewinder's head.

If this blow landed, even the skull of a Perfection-stage Tiangang Realm Martial Artist would shatter like a watermelon.

Just then, Rewinder's figure twisted for a moment.

He had not used his Special Ability to slow the impact before, but now he suddenly began to reverse his own trajectory.

He twisted his body, narrowly dodging Chen Moxuan's fist, which grazed his scalp, cutting off a few strands of hair.

Chen Moxuan stared fixedly at Rewinder's figure, immediately shifted his posture, and took two steps.

One step to cancel the forward inertia, and another to generate extreme speed to pursue Rewinder again.

A blade flashed by, and the blade in Chen Moxuan's hand had already sliced across Rewinder's neck.

"The feel isn't right."

Chen Moxuan's pupils shrank, and his hand gripping the blade tightened instinctively.

It felt nothing like cutting into flesh; it was like slashing at thin air.

Looking again, Rewinder's neck remained unscathed.

Chen Moxuan spun around abruptly, and suddenly, the world before his eyes went dark.

The entire world plunged into pitch-black darkness.

"I can't see?"

Chen Moxuan hurriedly used his Spiritual Sense to probe the surroundings.

But his Spiritual Sense could only extend two meters around him before it was firmly restricted and unable to advance further.

"As long as I reverse the light rays entering your eyes so they cannot reach your retina, I can deprive you of your vision."

Rewinder's voice rang out leisurely at this moment,

"I also know you have a mental-type Special Ability, but your Mental Energy cannot break through my obstruction like your brute strength can."

"Now, you are just a blind man."

Following the voice, Chen Moxuan listened to locate him and immediately slashed toward the position where the sound came from.

But there was still no sensation of a hit.

"It's useless. The sound waves reaching your ears have already been reversed by my Special Ability before being sent over."

"By the time you hear it, I am long gone from that position."

"Don't even think about predicting my position by the speed of sound; I wouldn't be stupid enough to reverse sound waves using the same pattern."

In the pitch-black darkness where Chen Moxuan could not perceive anything, Rewinder circled around him continuously.

His severed arm had already recovered as before, and his previously shattered internal organs had also been completely restored.

At the moment he was kicked away by Chen Moxuan and was about to be caught, he had not reversed his own body, but the light and shadows left behind during his flight.

Then, by slowing the speed at which the light reached Chen Moxuan's eyes, he created a visual discrepancy.

This process took an extremely short amount of time, but it just looked like his figure had twisted for a moment.

After that, while Chen Moxuan turned to chase his afterimage, he had already used his Special Ability to reverse his own injuries and deprive Chen Moxuan of his vision.

"You still haven't fully grasped the terror of [Reverse Orbit Shadow Trace]."

Rewinder's expression was relaxed, as if victory was in his grasp,

"If I want, besides light, I can also prevent oxygen from reaching your lungs."

"If I make direct contact with you, I can even make the blood inside you flow in reverse, instantly bursting your blood vessels."

With his vision deprived, his hearing interfered with, and his Spiritual Sense unable to probe beyond two meters.

Under such extreme conditions, Chen Moxuan decided to wait and see.

He withdrew the True Qi circulating through his body, regulated his breath, and internalized his Spiritual Sense.

Rewinder smiled slightly upon seeing this:

"You're a smart man for not putting up futile resistance."

"You killed Explosive Flame King; the G District Hero Association definitely won't let you off."

"There is no deep-seated hatred between you and me. If you have conflicts with my philosophy regarding the New World, we can argue about it later."

"I admire you; for that reason, I can let bygones be bygones regarding your attack on me just now."

Rewinder paused, then changed his tone, revealing a hint of warning,

"I'll give you one last chance. Do you want to join forces with me?"

Outside was a brilliant sunny day, but before his eyes was thick, pitch-black darkness. Chen Moxuan's pupils lost focus, covered by a layer of gray haze.

His hollow gaze pierced through the Void Realm, locking directly onto the direction from which the voice had last come:

"Since you are a hero of the Hero Association, that means you have also undergone the Transcendent assessment, right?"

"Huh?"

Rewinder was quite puzzled, not knowing why Chen Moxuan would ask this question at this moment.

"I'm a fairly stubborn person; once I decide on something, it's hard to change."

Chen Moxuan picked up his blade and slashed his left wrist, and blood immediately spurted out,

He swung his arm abruptly, and the blood droplets sprayed out in a wide fan shape.

Sound transmission has a delay and cannot be precisely located, so he would cover a wide area.

"Are you crazy?"

Rewinder watched Chen Moxuan's act of self-mutilation, extremely confused.

But he wouldn't let the blood splash onto him, so he immediately activated his Special Ability, attempting to reverse the trajectory of the blood.

"Cannot be reversed?!"

Just then, Rewinder discovered that he could not use his Special Ability to remotely influence this blood.

Although it originated from a living body, blood is no longer part of the organism once it leaves the body.

It shouldn't be impossible to be affected by his Special Ability!

As Rewinder was shocked and suspicious, these blood droplets, under Chen Moxuan's brute force, acted like large-caliber bullets.

Although they were not enough to pierce the flesh of an A-Rank Hero, they still tore his skin and flesh.

"Inflicting eight hundred damage to the enemy while suffering one thousand oneself—I can immediately..."

Before Rewinder could finish his sentence, the hair on the back of his neck suddenly stood on end.

A certain dangerous premonition struck him like a thorn in his back, causing his breath to hitch.

He saw a green light flowing on Chen Moxuan's left hand, and the wound that was still bleeding a moment ago healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He lightly hooked his fingertips into the arc of a finger snap, continuing from the previous topic:

"Before this, I had already decided: those who have undergone the Transcendent assessment..."

"All must die."

Snap.

His knuckles locked, producing a crisp snapping sound.

The blood on Rewinder's body immediately ignited sparks, intensifying rapidly, and instantly formed a massive explosive flame.
