Chapter 1555 - 797: What Are You Looking At?
"Finally..."
Amidst the silence, Ji Jue stepped on the frozen sea surface, walking towards the Shadow of You Sui and the Pillar of Descent step by step.
After an immeasurably long wait, he finally reached this moment.
The moment had finally arrived.
He felt no tension, no fear.
Clearly, the next moment he would be battling life and death, as if he were a born killer, overwhelmed with indescribable excitement. Even, he was ravenously eager!
In the sea breeze blowing in his face, he began to smile.
That kind of smile...
Within the dim obscurity of You Sui, a disturbance emerged.
The crowd gathered in the shadows stirred slightly, their expressions changing.
"Who is that? The craftsman from yesterday?"
"Is he Ye Xian's student?"
"Ji Jue..."
Some felt puzzled, while others' faces gradually became solemn. But at that moment, the low murmur of confusion gradually faded into dead silence.
Looking again at that gentle smiling face, their pupils involuntarily tightened, feeling like thorns on their backs.
Even if they weren't the ones on the scene.
Alertness, tension, or perhaps even without any reason...
Fear?
"Ji Jue?" Elder Anvil's eyelids lifted slightly, commenting, "You seem to have quite some expectations of him."
The Heavenly Furnace nodded, "As a Grandmaster of the Association, having expectations for the younger generation isn't that normal?"
"Is that so? Why hasn't your breakout student come?"
"When the master is occupied, the disciple must bear the burdens. Sometimes the teacher can't lend a hand, so the student must step up. Whether it's being a workhorse or rushing into battle, there's no second thought.
You Sui should be used to this practice, right?
Why ask me?"
The Heavenly Furnace paused briefly, mocking with a smile, "In other words, in his teacher's view, dealing with you lot, Ji Jue is enough."
Boom!
Just as Ji Jue stepped into the Crack Realm, a figure that had been a distant shape suddenly appeared inches away, casting a pitch-black shadow.
The giant body, over three meters tall, was shrouded beneath a heavy robe, the exposed face having a texture devoid of flesh, hard to determine gender or age, with even the eyes covered by a cloth with intricate weaving.
Wave after wave of spiritual fluctuations continually erupted, capturing the soul, and it's unimaginable what kind of alchemy creations were hidden within that body.
At this moment, during the full burst of Transcend Rank, it flew through the air — suppressing souls, disturbing vitality, petrification and solidification, soul freezing — the alchemy creations beneath the robe exploded one after another, applying countless restraints on Ji Jue, making him unable to move.
A bizarre hand cloaked in endless darkness reached out from beneath the robe, pressing down towards Ji Jue's face, claiming everything!
But just as it reached out, inexplicably, it withdrew!
Abandoning this precious chance to determine victory and death, the figure retreated at lightning speed, even faster than when it arrived!
Beneath the cloth covering the eyes, the sound of breaking emerged, leaving a trail of viscous blood tears.
He saw it.
At the same moment he reached out his hand, the Ji Jue who should have been completely restrained, without any defenses, reached out a hand towards his own.
All the suppression turned futile, unable to create any hindrance, instead, his own side suffered severe damage in an instant!
Sudden shock surfaced momentarily, forcibly suppressed.
Then, uncontrollable, erupted vehemently!
Because just behind him, a curious voice suddenly sounded:
"—What are you looking at?"
Ji Jue!
Before he had even steadied himself, Ji Jue, with speed surpassing his own, appeared behind him, then raised a hand, pressing onto his robe.
Boom!
The Ruins and Mirror system, the blend of material and illusion, the Water Moon Armor, capable of directly confronting and dispelling countless attacks, at this moment shattered as if nonexistent.
That hand, with withering force, thrust forward, piercing through the body.
Dissociation Technique!
Jing Zhen exploded, scattering with withering force, annihilating the soul.
The stout body stiffened, crumbled.
The craftsman's soul was completely obliterated.
At the same time, from the deceased's back, another hand emerged, gripping a sword, and sliced off Ji Jue's head!
From beneath the shattered robe, a blood-stained spear shot forth, piercing through the headless body, lifting Ji Jue up.
Blood-colored Thunderbolt erupted, completely destroying the final body.
Disintegrated into ashes!
"That guy..."
In the instant of change, Aignu widened his eyes, instinctively clenched his fists, finally discerning the identity of the You Sui's arrival.
Long before that, Jiang Tongguang's eyes had already lifted, cold as ice.
"[Work Cellar]!"
The Punishment Team had been chasing their unknown target for years, the notorious You Sui Craftsman, who self-proclaimed as Zhi Fu like the Ten Thousand Craftsman's Hidden Cave!
Rather than a craftsman, he preferred to call himself a collector.
What he loved most was seizing other craftsmen's painstaking works and skills to expand his collection. He once disguised himself for a precious piece, lurking for ten years, several decades...
Ghost knows exactly how many creations that guy has stolen from others.
There might even be...
"... are there peers?"
Under the burning Blood Flames, the headless steel body, which should have turned to ashes, made a sound, filled with confusion: "Isn't this against the rules?"
Boom!
The spear shattered, disintegrating into dust.
At a close distance, the molten steel finger rose, pointing at the face, a stream of Purple Lightning Black Flame burst forth, yet it was once again foreseen by the opponent, who drew back, even tricking Zanlu's pursuit, dodging gracefully.
"Wonderful, such a relief."
Ji Jue's headless body reached out, pulled back the flying head, reattached it to the neck, restored it whole, cleaned off the curse coiling around the wound, and finally revealed a look of lingering fear and relief: "I thought my own hand slipped."
So terrifying!
When the Work Cell counterattacked, he was almost scared to death, thinking he had been too slack lately, causing the Dissociation Technique to become rusty, completely ineffective.
For a craftsman, what could be more terrifying than having one's skills not up to par?
After all, the other side was never just single combat...
When the Water Moon Robe was torn, the body was broken, through the crack, he finally perceived the soul coming from the craftsman, that fluctuation was such a cacophony, filled with numerous interference waves and chaotic noise.
Like five or six different souls overlapping together.
What Ji Jue's Jing Zhen disintegrated was but one of them!
Under the robe's tear, beneath that robust body, lay folded tens of different arms and various organs.
Right before his eyes, the arms retracting hidden under the robe slowly stretched out, each palm held a unique creation, some even possessed Heavenly Artisan qualities, each palm mastered distinctly different skills... Even those arms, palms, and even his own body and organs were transformed by unknown numbers of creations.
This is the rebirth form of the Work Cell, even built upon the rebirth form, a lineage of the Circle Realm!
The whole body was modified, stuffed full of creations, fully compatible, avoiding any conflict between them...
—[Circle Realm: Ten Thousand Craftsman's Hidden Cave]!
At this moment, the Work Cell grinned, silently laughed, numerous vacant faces emerged from his body's surface, opening their eyes, staring at him.
Ravenous, drooling.
Unable to restrain his greedy desire!
"Brain, heart, and spine? No, the entire body is... Everywhere all over!"
He raspy sighed, unable to contain the shivering excitement: "So it's the same kind of rebirth form as mine, haha, hahaha, you and I are the same!
How could anyone in the world be like me..."
"Is that so?"
A voice of regret sounded, right next to him.
The face suddenly flashed before his eyes, telling him: "That's what happens when I'm down."
Fall to mingling with rubbish like you!
Boom—
In the explosive sound, an arm that transformed into a blade pierced forth fell into Ji Jue's hand, instantly turned to dust, Jing Zhen dissociation.
Yet the wolf's evil perception burst forth in waves.
As if it had long foreseen Ji Jue's reaction, prepared beforehand.
Those eyes under the blindfold cloth preemptively glimpsed the images of what would happen, before Ji Jue's advance, it was already ready.
Heart-rending howls kept echoing.
Unfortunately, the expression on that face froze before even a smile appeared.
As reality progressed, revealing the decisive difference in the future again.
Deeply surrounded, Ji Jue effortlessly maneuvers forward under the full force attack of ten creations and six craftsmen.
With merely a wave of his hand, a scarlet blade was slashed out...
—In the end, what lies dead is himself?!
When he came to, the sound of Pan Ying's clang had already echoed close by, scarlet Blood Flames slashed down at an incredible speed!
And then abruptly halted.
Stopping precariously in front of him.
Just a hair's breadth away.
In the hand stretched out behind him, the 'Chain of Passing Light' extended from the void, appearing, coiled around Pan Ying's blade, forcibly suppressed, causing the Blessing Chain to abruptly fall silent.
Cold sweat seeped from his forehead when he saw the impending future, the surging Purple Lightning Black Flame, like a raging tide.
Zanlu!
At this moment, Ji Jue snapped his fingers, the crisp sound accompanying sparks shooting from his fingertips, suddenly expanded.
The face on the Work Cell's chest suddenly opened its mouth, a Treasure Bead emerged within, 'Transformation Bead' radiated a faint glow, casting everything like a dream, forcibly erased and negated Zanlu's flames.
The Work Cell's eyes widened again.
Ignoring the soul-tearing pain, attempting to glimpse the future, only to freeze in place.
In the future he witnessed, Ji Jue unexpectedly raised his head, as if looking at himself now, and asked again: "Now, what do you see?"
