Chapter 1420: Tu Xin's Suspicion

Author: Three Hundred Jin's Smile

Qianqian, fastest update!

At this moment, Tu Xin seemed to realize a looming crisis.

His mind began to race again. "So you were waiting for me here after all? How did you do it?"

Xu Zhi shook his head. "Waiting for you? What are you talking about?"

"It's obvious."

"I don't understand."

The distant Saints watched in astonishment, unable to help but exclaim, "He's now avoided twenty-eight major collapses, mastering the technique of evasion. It's terrifying! It seems we really can't trap him anymore!"

"Not necessarily."

At this point, Rong Cheng's eyes flickered as he said, "The Emperor knows clearly that while Tu Xin can evade this collapse, it only drastically reduces his loss, not eliminates it entirely.

"At most, it allows him to withstand dozens of collapses, whereas before he couldn't survive more than a few.

"What's more, it might not even be dozens, because the vortex is becoming increasingly condensed, the collapse force is decreasing, the purity is increasing, and the suction is growing stronger. Tu Xin will still die."

As an immortal Saint, his perspective was naturally not limited.

"Furthermore, each collapse is a fusion condensation. Twenty-eight times is already terrifying. I fear that after more than thirty collapses, it will truly approach the power of a genuine singularity, moving closer to the true 'Genesis'. Only then will this Dao technique be truly complete!" Tu Xin said, "The resulting destructiveness will be capable of wiping out everything."

Everyone got goosebumps upon hearing this.

Such terrifying power, and it's still in its preparatory stage? Is it still condensing the singularity through continuous collapses and explosions? What kind of earth-shattering power will the completed Dao technique possess?

"Also, something is currently gestating. That phantom is becoming increasingly clear! I fear that once this Dao technique is fully complete, that phantom will descend from some kind of space-time, accompanying the Dao technique into our universe!"

He could also sense the mysterious phantom condensing, filled with immense curiosity and a heavy feeling, fearing a great secret was hidden within.

Everyone's breathing became ragged.

On the other side.

"Interesting. Do you still intend to wear me down to death?"

Tu Xin stopped, speaking with interest, "I thought I had thwarted your calculations, but it seems you have a second layer of planning. Have I not truly broken free?"

Tu Xin had initially thought the opponent was relying on this technique to outlast him, buying time to wear him down.

But now, the opponent still maintained a posture of stalling for time.

This implied that the opponent possessed truly profound and mysterious methods to evade the singularity!

His current method, transforming into another singularity to counter it, still consumed a vast amount of his physical energy. Could it be that the opponent's true method required virtually no physical exertion, allowing them to act so fearlessly?

"Tu Xin, you guessed correctly. I do have a true technique for evading the singularity. Let's just keep dragging this out; it won't be me who dies anyway."

Xu Zhi said calmly.

"Oh? You're not feigning ignorance this time," Tu Xin sneered. "Finally telling the truth? No more acting?"

Xu Zhi remained silent.

*That* statement, however, was a lie...

How could he possibly have a true way to completely avoid the singularity? He was still just enduring it.

This world truly is strange.

When he spoke the truth, he was believed to be lying.

But when he lied, he was believed to be telling the truth...

At this moment.

Although Xu Zhi was also expending a large amount of energy, and this place was a death trap slowly grinding him down, he possessed a hidden door through which he could connect to the outside and receive energy.

"Don't blame me for using your own scheme against you," he thought.

Xu Zhi was not foolish; on the contrary, his mind was exceptionally clear, and he devised the best countermeasure. He mused, "Given the previous lesson, they will only believe I possess some mysterious technique this time, thinking I'm even more profound... I can use this opportunity to legitimately wear down my opponent.

"And I can do it without revealing my true identity as the 'God of Creation'—killing two birds with one stone."

Xu Zhi shook his head, his body's instincts speaking volumes. "If I can eliminate him in the simplest way possible, why would I fight against such an unreasonable monster?

"To defeat an opponent with strategy and without drawing blood, that's what truly impresses the other Saints! They fought tooth and nail and still lost, but I have a chance to win without even lifting a finger.

"...Moreover, my Miracle Cultivation Method hasn't actually been fully developed yet. If I were to fight, I really couldn't win... My energy level is still at a two-meter scale, while they are countless light-years in size."

Xu Zhi felt that this new "Nine Revolutions Divine Art" Miracle martial art was extraordinarily difficult.

Its difficulty far surpassed that of any Miracle martial art previously deduced by others.

He wasn't a monster like Tu Xin, who could effortlessly create new systems. His knowledge base was vast, and his computational ability was high, but his talent for creating new martial arts was genuinely lacking.

He was like a supercomputer: without creativity, he could only integrate and deduce based on existing knowledge, sticking to conventional methods.

"So that's how it is?"

However, at this moment, Tu Xin grew quiet again. "You truly have interconnected layers, a double death trap? If so, if I could deduce one survival method, what difficulty is there in deducing a second?"

"There can't be another way,"

The Emperor shook his head. Though he lacked the expertise to forge new paths, he still had this insight. "A singularity is the highest power. You cannot possibly use power or methods that transcend a singularity to evade it again..."

As soon as he spoke, the other beings present immediately reacted.

The first method was already at its peak, perhaps even the only method: singularity countering singularity, an Eleventh-Tier technique in the universe, the orthodox way to escape cosmic collapse!

How could there possibly be another way?

"Theoretically, that should be true, but there must be another way, as if it was created! If you can do it, so can I!" Tu Xin's expression was incredibly grim as he turned his head; the next major collapse was about to begin.

The universe returned once more, the twenty-ninth collapse, still much more powerful than the last.

"A method, a method..." Tu Xin took a deep breath, transforming into a singularity first to minimize energy loss. While resisting, he also began deducing other possible methods.

In the distance, the Emperor also adopted his method, clumsily transforming into half a singularity to resist.

"What a cunning fellow," Tu Xin thought, taking a deep breath. "He even pretends to be extremely clumsy when transforming into a singularity, as awkward as I am, as if afraid I'll discover his method."

The cosmic collapse returned; death and rebirth were but an instant.

This collapse concluded.

Both Tu Xin and the Emperor seemed much more skilled in their application, increasingly mastering the method of becoming a singularity, though they remained very fatigued.

Soon, the thirtieth singularity began.

Tu Xin was completely struggling to hold on. Although he could reduce the power, it still caused immense depletion.

"How on earth does he do it?!"

Tu Xin stared intently at the vigorous Emperor, desperately searching for a weakness. But despite carefully observing the entire process, he found nothing unusual about the Emperor.

"He might be making some subtle moves in a place I can't observe," Tu Xin frowned. "I'm watching him the entire time, and the period I can't observe him is very brief—only the instant from when the singularity fully collapses and forms until the great explosion..."

In that instant, the singularity fully formed, and the surroundings transformed into a terrifying black suction, as if enveloped by a vast darkness where even light ceased to exist.

That was the most terrifying moment. As he struggled to resist, it was naturally impossible for him to observe the Emperor.

A doubt arose in his mind: "Before that explosion, he made defensive movements, but was he truly resisting?"

"Could he have directly entered the singularity?" An unbelievable thought occurred to him.

But then he dismissed it as impossible.

Appearing inside a singularity would instantly transform one into the most primitive cosmic matter, utterly pulverized and reduced to the most chaotic primordial substance. Survival within it would be impossible.
