Superhumans of the Dome City
Chapter 157 - 157 55 Not Heaven's Pure Land

157: Chapter 55: Not Heaven’s Pure Land 157: Chapter 55: Not Heaven’s Pure Land “Do you still have the strength?”

“Regrettably, I really don’t.”

Gongsun Ce collapsed onto the ground beside him, his companion, Qin Qianbai, who had been pulled back by telekinesis, also sat powerlessly.

They were utterly exhausted.

They couldn’t muster any strength to fight.

Whether physical energy or mental, everything had been drained during the short yet extremely perilous battle.

Now, they wouldn’t stand a chance against even an ordinary Superpower User, let alone another Ming Guest.

Breathing had almost become a strenuous exercise; their fatigue had truly reached such a stage.

They used the last of their energy to look towards the end of the spiral trajectory.

What the two Superpower Users saw was—

“—Incredible.”

The Ming Guest, half clothed yet wholly unharmed.

A speck of light shone on his chest.

It blocked the tip of the incoming spear, halting the spiral that was just a hair’s breadth from shattering him.

“The power of Dragon Species combined with the Impermanence Skill, the coordination of martial skills and tactics, and the trust between you two…!”

The revolving spear was stopped by that point of light.

At this moment, Gongsun Ce’s spiral ceased its spin.

Instead of frustration, anger, or hysteria, their initial reaction was a sense of absurd helplessness.

They did not even know what to say, utterly breathless.

You’ve got to be joking.

Even bosses in monster movies are less ridiculous.

There isn’t even a special effects show with your level of exaggeration.

This trash animation where after all the hardship and playing every card, you find the adversary untouched and ready to step into the third stage—give me a break.

“Incredible, amazing!

It’s been a while since someone could defeat my manifestation!”

“For such mighty opponents as yourselves, I offer my full power!”

Their brains stubbornly resisted delving into the man’s words.

Capable of tearing through anything, the Ming Blade, if only a manifestation.

Then, what could the true nature of the Impermanence Law Enforcer named Ming Guest’s Impermanence Skill be?

“Warriors turn to demons, seeing all constructions, practicing the mind to attainspirit, beholding the real as unstructured, all methods complete, exploring endless infinity!”

After the intense battle, the day was nearing dusk.

The remaining light after sunset was dreamlike and intoxicating.

“Dragon Slaying Skill, Impermanence Skill.”

The light before the Ming Guest expanded, covering the sky and the earth, absorbing everything into light, leaving only a lingering dull yellow.

One of the strongest beings in existence, a man who stood alongside Sky Extreme, unfolded the world inside his heart.

“Strange Phase·Creation Realm, not a heavenly pure land.”

Afterward.

The Superpower User, Gongsun Ce (19 years old), said to a friend.

“You ask what it feels like to fight a Creator Realm Mage?”

“Well…

that’s quite hard to describe.”

“No no, it’s not a matter of vocabulary.

Although I’m not a humanities student, Mr.

Gongsun isn’t at a loss for words.”

“It’s more like…

the very premise of your question is wrong.”

The young man with gray hair looked up at the ceiling.

“That cannot be called a battle.”

“Human beings can fight with fierce beasts and monsters.

But can…

a human fight with a mountain?

Can they fight with an ocean?

Furthermore, can an immensely powerful person fight with the earth?”

“Not possible.

You can’t even imagine such a scenario.

Just like you can’t imagine how a barehanded person could fight a giant dragon.”

“The metaphor I just used isn’t an exaggeration.

I have personally seen the highest level of Dragon Disaster…”

With his hands, the young man with gray hair described a large circle.

“The reality disruption caused by the giant dragon phenomenoncould turn a whole city into an altered world.”

“A Creator Realm Mage can do the same.”

“Impermanence Skill is Dragon Slaying Skill.

Why such a name?

When you see the Creator Realm Mage in real combat, you will understand.”

The young man with gray hair crossed his arms, shaking his head.

“The fight between the Impermanence Law Enforcer and the Dragon Disaster is fundamentally a clash of the same kind.”

“The so-called Creator Realm Mage is a giant dragon with a human body.”

The young man with gray hair adjusted his glasses.

“…You ask what I went through?”

“Um…”

He frowned, bowing his head in thought for a long time before saying.

“This…

is even harder to describe.”

“Because I still haven’t fully understood.”

“What exactly is the so-called ‘Not a Heavenly Pure Land.'”

·

The sun set beyond the horizon, but the stars and night did not rise.

Covering the sky and the earth was the dusky light of the magical hour.

Momentary yet ephemeral, like a bubble, the dreamlike instant became eternal in the man’s heart.

They found themselves in an unreal world.

In the sky flew birds made of ink, strokes resembling a particular painter’s work; in rivers of molten iron raced steam-powered old trains; atop distant mountains glistened a forest of blades reflecting cold light; even further were castles, abysses, oceans…

endless shifting, unpredictable, tangled scenes.

If said to be a painting, one couldn’t discern the theme; if claimed as reality, no rational trace could be found.

The two were situated on a tranquil plain within this chaotic world.

The boundless field bore illusory afterimages: countless human figures wielding weapons or using spells, engaged in endless strife across the world.

Among them were the unskilled, the mediocre, the masterful— the world’s master indiscriminately embraced them all without distinction.

“—”

Gongsun Ce saw his own technique among them.

The figure closest to them threw the Spiral Spear, which was exactly the attack that Ming Guest had just faced.
