Chapter 1001: Qiankun Guiyuan Mirror
Three copper mirrors fell from three directions, confining Di Xin within a narrow triangular space. After repeatedly hitting walls, he chose not to fly upward because he knew that the opponent would not leave such a big flaw for him to escape, and there surely was another mirror waiting overhead.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Di Xin leaned against one copper mirror, tapping its smooth surface and producing a crisp sound. At this moment, he still couldn't see the outside world, seeing only his own reflection in the copper mirrors, while the crowd outside could see him through the mirror.
"Is this the thing that reflects my attacks? It must be the result of a Divine Artifact fusion, similar to Nero's artifact." Di Xin shouted outwards while clapping the mirror.
"Yes, I know many spells, but just like you use artifacts against me, to shorten the battle time as quickly as possible, choosing the most direct way to strike the opponent is the most reliable, Qiankun Guiyuan Mirror! To lose under the second-ranked mirror artifact fusion in the Daoist Realm, your defeat is not unjust." Ning Quanchen made several gestures with his hands, simultaneously issuing a final warning to Di Xin: "As you said, although the two realms are still enemies, you and I have no grudges! I don't want to open a killing spree in this ring. If you wisely surrender soon and end this match, it will save you from suffering or even losing your life."
"Hehehe, what else can your mirror do other than trap me? I cannot believe that there is a defense in this world that cannot be broken. If it were truly so magical, it wouldn't be ranked second among Divine Artifacts. Human Emperor!" After a cold laugh, Di Xin uttered 'Human Emperor,' his figure swelled as all his wounds healed almost instantaneously.
"You've asked for this!" Ning Quanchen completed his gestures, swaying his body three times, instantly creating three identical Ning Quanchens, who corresponded to the three copper mirrors. Their fingers pointed virtually, triggering the talismans set inside, causing a fierce fire within the confined triangular space.
"Primordial Fire!" Lin Junzhao's voice emerged from Pei Yan, exclaiming, "Oh! It also borrows the power of wind. Ning Quanchen has the Fire Elemental Origin Power similar to the Fire Elemental Spirit Ye Ruozai fought with, and even some Wind Elemental Origin Power. This basic elemental Origin Power, Lin Ruxue is most adept at; she must have granted it to Ning Quanchen."
"Being burned by the Primordial Fire for a long time is difficult for even me to endure." Pei Yan looked at Di Xin, who was in agony within the mirror's confinement, then at the three Ning Quanchens outside, saying solemnly, "These duplicates of Ning Quanchen are, unlike Ye Ruozai's body technique-created images, actual beings. I can't find any difference between them through image capture or Source Energy exploration; Daoist Realm's techniques are truly amazing."
"You certainly can't find out. It's not just spells; it also relies on Divine Artifacts. One mirror has two faces, reflecting both Di Xin and Ning Quanchen. It's the combination of spells and artifact fusion that makes it so you can't find flaws between them." Lin Junzhao, after speaking, stared at Di Xin in the arena with great interest, saying, "I'm no longer interested in Ning Quanchen, but I'm curious to see how Di Xin will escape this predicament."
Di Xin's next actions took Pei Yan by surprise; his approach was simple yet brutal—pounding fiercely with brute force on the copper mirror blocking his way.
Flames burned on Di Xin's body, with wounds constantly opening and healing repeatedly. His entire body was devoid of intact skin, yet he persisted in his attempt to break through. His massive fists struck the copper mirror, producing deep sounds that reverberated in the arena.
However, his attacks caused little damage to the copper mirror; the surface showed no dents. Instead, each punch left a large fist mark on his own body. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
"Naive, you don't think my artifact can only resist magical attacks and cannot reflect physical damage, do you?" Ning Quanchen mocked, maintaining his assault.
In the face of Ning Quanchen's taunts, Di Xin did not cease his assault; instead, his blows became increasingly frequent. Simultaneously, large amounts of spirits originally pushed to the edge of the arena began regrouping, feeling their master's summon, rushing towards Ning Quanchen.
Although the giant wave of spirits could not deter Ning Quanchen's determination to continue trapping Di Xin, as his fingers moved swiftly with incantations, several enormous Source Energy Walls rose to seal a space, isolating them from the surging flow outside.
The spirit, brewed by artifacts, was no ordinary liquid; the Source Energy blocked the wave but the walls were constantly corroded by the highly corrosive spirit liquid. Both parties consumed each other, while the intangible spirit vapor permeated the Source Energy walls, spreading within the enclosed space.
Controlling the copper mirrors to trap Di Xin while attacking him with two types of Origin Powers and simultaneously supporting the defensive Source Energy Walls placed a substantial burden on Ning Quanchen. Yet compared to the blood-soaked Di Xin, he held a significant advantage. To rapidly finish the battle, he attempted to undermine Di Xin's fighting spirit with verbal attacks: "I've endured an attack from this spirit's vapor once, and my body has adapted to its changes. It won't be as easy to affect me again. I can endure for a long time, but can you?"
"Then let's see who lasts the longest!" Under mockery, Di Xin fought more valiantly, hammering the copper mirror relentlessly. This time, his attack was several times more potent, each strike causing an explosive roar.
Although these attacks rebounded onto Di Xin himself, Pei Yan was left in shock by the sight, not because of Di Xin's fearless actions, but because he sensed that Di Xin's punches contained over eight mixed abilities, which alternated every few blows.
He himself already possessed a myriad of abilities, having awakened his own powers, absorbed two abilities of others, received two bestowed abilities, and ingested the Origin Law fragment granted by Lin Junzhao to comprehend new powers, building Pei Yan's formidable strength—all thanks to Lin Junzhao's trust and the institute's special nurturing.
But how did Di Xin acquire so many abilities!
