Apocalypse Circular

Chapter 361: The Apex of Domains - The Boundary of Termination


Moreover, he was conversing with some kind of consciousness—a consciousness without a body?

Is this consciousness the Doomsday Disc?

No, judging by its tone, it shouldn't be the Doomsday Disc.

Then who is it?

Never mind. Although I can't confirm who Lu Luo's helper is, I can now be certain of one thing—Lu Luo isn't dead!

"Lu Luo, come out!"

A strong surge of Holy Radiance began to burst forth from Mo Fan. This Holy Radiance gradually enveloped the entire Doomsday Disc. Clearly, Mo Fan intended to use her wide-ranging Holy Radiance to completely cover this area and determine Lu Luo's current location. It wasn't a particularly clever method, but it was practical and effective.

However, even after her Holy Radiance shrouded the entire disc, she still couldn't sense Lu Luo's presence.

Gone? How is that possible? Those two voices just now were clearly talking about me!

Mo Fan once again extended her Life Energy into the center of the Doomsday Disc. Indeed, Lu Luo's and another person's voices were still there.

"She seems to have discovered me. What should we do?"

"I suggest white evasion."

Mo Fan subconsciously wondered for a moment, What is white evasion? Is it one of Lu Luo's special abilities? But at this moment, she obviously wasn't in the mood to think about such trivial matters.

"Lu Luo, just how long do you plan to hide? Are you scared?"

Mo Fan didn't know if Lu Luo could hear her, but she wanted to try. If Lu Luo talked to her, she might be able to grasp some useful information from his words and drag him out.

"What do I have to fear? That you won't die, old woman? You're old, and you'll soon die of old age, while I'm still young. I can drag this out for a long time; I can live until I'm eighty. So, I'm planning to wait here for thirty years until you die of old age, and then I'll come out."

Lu Luo's statement unsettled Mo Fan for a moment. If there was one thing these old folks truly cared about, age was undoubtedly it. They feared death, they dreaded it; a long life was what they pursued.

If Lu Luo can really drag this out, it's undoubtedly a heavy blow for me. He could even, just as he said, drag it out for decades and wear me down to death right here.

This was because Dark Energy couldn't be absorbed here. To maintain a stable state, she had to continuously use her Life Energy for Life Return. But this method of obtaining and releasing energy consumed a vast amount of stored life. They had used so many Fruits of Life and killed so many people to achieve their current accumulation. To be worn down to death here was something Mo Fan found completely unacceptable.

Thus, Mo Fan fell silent. I'm not a fool. The worse the situation, the more crucial it is to stay calm. Since Lu Luo has mentioned the scenario I fear most, I must launch the most rational counterattack right now. He and I are in a standoff; neither of us should give an inch.

"Stalling for time? Alright. I'm already an old woman with one foot in the grave. You said it yourself, I'm about to die of old age, so playing the waiting game with me is indeed your best choice. I care about my life, I admit that. And as long as you drag this out, you can wear me down, I admit that too. But comparing my life to yours, toughing it out doesn't seem like much of a loss for me. Pope Fan Zhen and the other Apocalypse Riders are currently besieging Bai Qingshuang. Regardless of who the ultimate victor is, I fear your lover, Qi Xinzhu, won't have a good outcome. Her role isn't just to be a vessel for the Li Ming Star. Lu Luo, those people are even more ambitious than I am. Do you really trust your woman in their hands? Moreover, even if Qi Xinzhu survives this ordeal, what will become of her without you? Controlled by the new Pope? Becoming another man's woman? Your own woman controlled, turned into a puppet and a tool—can your heart truly accept that?"

Mo Fan didn't speak too harshly; she still gave Lu Luo some room to think. She also feared a complete breakdown in negotiations with Lu Luo at this point, which would push them into a fight to the death.

Clearly, Mo Fan had a strong grasp of human nature. From Lu Luo and Qi Xinzhu's previous behavior, the two were deeply in love. Affectionate couples have the most vulnerable relationships to attack. Using this, Mo Fan could achieve many things, such as luring Lu Luo out.

After she said these words, Lu Luo indeed took the bait.

"Damn it, you really struck a nerve. You're so annoying."

"That struck a nerve? Then your mental fortitude is truly poor."

Mo Fan was pleased that Lu Luo had taken the bait. Actually, it wasn't really taking the bait, as Lu Luo hadn't truly planned on waiting here for decades. From the moment he sensed Mo Fan, his objective had never changed: Kill Mo Fan!

"Alright, even though I know you're provoking me, I still fell for it. My former teacher once told me that women are inconsequential; as long as you have money and power, there are plenty of women. After saying that, he died for two women. That incident was a great shock to me, and it also solidified my own beliefs. My idea is simple: marry a few wives and have over twenty children. For that, I can only kill you!"

The corners of Mo Fan's mouth lifted slightly. Am I afraid of Lu Luo's threat? Of course not. If I can kill Lu Luo once, I can kill him ten times. My strength is immense. Though Lu Luo's previous two major attacks were impressive and even injured me, those injuries aren't enough to threaten my life. Lu Luo has very impressive trump cards, true, but don't I, Mo Fan, have any? Surely, a Seventh Tier master who has lived for over 150, or even 180 years, would have a last resort?

So Mo Fan wasn't afraid to fight; she even hoped Lu Luo would become a bit stronger. As long as Lu Luo becomes a little stronger, his ego will inflate. Once inflated, he'll become impulsive. Then, I'll have an even easier time killing him.

"Good. Don't just talk big. I'm right here, waiting for you to come kill me! So, where exactly are you?"

"I'm right beneath your feet! Look at what you've stepped on!"

"Beneath my feet?"

SQUISH!

Mo Fan felt like she had stepped on something sticky and lifted her foot. But what appeared beneath it was only a fragment of mangled flesh, very small, about the size of a thumb.

A piece of flesh?

The flesh is fresh, much better than how Lu Luo looked when he was burned by Holy Radiance earlier. It's as if it has newly grown.

In her surprise, Mo Fan immediately understood. I won't be like those villains in novels or TV shows, obediently waiting for the protagonist to recover while babbling on. When I have the advantage, I must strike the enemy until they're dead. That's the only way to end it.

Holy Radiance was already gathering in her hands, and she punched down on the surface of the Disc.

"Then die!"

BOOM!

Flesh scattered, and Lu Luo felt himself injured once again.

"You have such a cruel heart, old woman!"

But this time, the shattered flesh did not dissipate; instead, it began to converge toward the center of the Doomsday Disc. As time passed, more and more chunks of flesh appeared on the ground, growing larger and larger.

By now, Mo Fan realized these chunks might really be Lu Luo's body. She didn't just stand there waiting for Lu Luo's body to regenerate. Her choice was very pragmatic: bombard the chunks with Holy Radiance relentlessly before they could fully coalesce.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The chunks of flesh were blasted into new fragments, yet Lu Luo didn't counterattack, simply allowing Mo Fan to bombard his already shattered body.

[You have suffered severe damage, fatal injury. The Fusioner is consuming energy to repair your body…]

[You have suffered severe damage, fatal injury…]

Similar prompts had appeared countless times, yet Lu Luo still made no move to retaliate. His energy plunged rapidly; in just a few minutes, Lu Luo had consumed nearly 20,000 energy points. But he wasn't worried. Before coming here, Lu Luo had ample confidence. His confidence stemmed from energy—an abundant supply of it.

Mo Fan attacked for nearly ten more minutes, destroying countless chunks of flesh. Yet, new chunks continued to appear on the ground. The Holy Radiance Mo Fan had obtained through Life Return was depleted in those short ten minutes. Consequently, she had to stop and use Life Return once more.

"It seems your rebirth is unstoppable, huh? Is it a Sequence?"

Mo Fan somewhat envied Lu Luo's ability. An Undying Body from the legends? Mo Fan didn't quite believe humans truly possessed such powerful abilities. Such abilities must have their limitations. It's just that I don't know what restricts Lu Luo's regeneration. So, without knowing the conditions or mechanism, she had to stop.

"Yes, the legendary Undying Body Sequence. What do you think? Have you thought of a way to kill me?"

"No. So I plan to wait for your resurrection, then find a way to kill you once more, or completely restrain you."

This time, Mo Fan didn't try to stop Lu Luo's regeneration. Instead, she quietly waited for Lu Luo's rebirth. She even openly stated what she planned to do to him afterward.

Lu Luo also remained silent, continuing to consume energy, allowing the chunks of flesh to grow and gather. The re-fused flesh gradually adhered, slowly reforming into Lu Luo's original appearance. The process felt completely natural, as if it was always meant to be.

Lu Luo stood in the center of the Doomsday Disc. And Mo Fan stood beside him.

"You've finally appeared, Lu Luo!"

"Baldy, can you tell me your name? I've been entangled with you for so long, yet I still don't know your name. Wouldn't it be a pity if I killed you without even knowing it?"

At this moment, Lu Luo actually took clothes out from his ring and started dressing in front of Mo Fan, showing none of the nervousness he had when previously facing a Seventh Tier expert. He had already expended a lot of the Doomsday Disc's power, but he didn't care anymore. Even if it meant using up all the Doomsday Disc's power, he had to kill Mo Fan here today!

"My name is easy to remember. It's Mo Fan!"

"Mo Fan? Sounds like a protagonist's name from a novel. Pretty good. Any last regrets?"

Lu Luo's tone and attitude puzzled Mo Fan. His current state and strength were almost the same as before. In other words, Lu Luo himself hadn't become stronger by coming to the Doomsday Disc.

So where does his confidence come from?

"Lu Luo, I don't know where your confidence and assurance are coming from. If it's this regenerative ability, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. I have fully grasped your ability. Killing you again won't consume nearly as much energy. Although you have the ability to regenerate, that ability must also have its limits, right? Even if killing you once or twice is useless, what about ten times, dozens of times, or even a hundred times? If you can still resurrect after being killed a hundred times, then I'll admit defeat."

In fact, Mo Fan had become somewhat numb to Lu Luo's Sequence abilities. This nearly rebirth-like effect is definitely that of a Grade S Sequence. Counting the special eyes, absorption tentacles, and revival regeneration, Lu Luo has already shown me three Grade S Sequences. Such a person can't simply be described as a genius; he's an utter monster. If such a person is allowed to grow unchecked, he will surely become a grave threat to the entire Inner Ring in the future.

Mo Fan was also a member of the Inner Ring; fundamentally, she was no different from the Pope. Long-term rule also brought her immense benefits. Therefore, the reasons for killing Lu Luo seemed to have multiplied.

"I can probably... resurrect two more times! So, you need to kill me three times to truly kill me!" Lu Luo suddenly spoke, revealing a piece of information whose veracity was uncertain.

This information made Mo Fan pause slightly.

"Is that true?"

"It's true."

A smile reappeared on Mo Fan's face, though it was unclear whether she believed him or not.

"Why tell me this now? The number of times you can resurrect must be very important to you, right?"

Lu Luo shook his head. "That's not important at all."

The number of times he could resurrect truly wasn't important to Lu Luo anymore. I'm going to kill Mo Fan, head-on, directly. Therefore, one resurrection is enough.

"Why not? Your resurrection ability is still quite troublesome. If you could keep resurrecting, perhaps you really could wear me down to death."

"No, that won't be necessary. I've gained some understanding of your strength, while you... you know nothing about me."

Lu Luo's tone was somewhat arrogant, which Mo Fan found a bit amusing.

Know nothing? Haven't all his Sequences been released already? What else can the current Lu Luo do?

Lu Luo gently bit his own finger, letting blood drip onto the center of the Doomsday Disc.

[Domain: Extreme]

Effect 1 - Extreme State: Consuming the Doomsday Disc world power, the power of rotation, and the Doomsday Factor to enter the Extreme State of culmination.

Effect 2 - Devourer: In the Extreme State, assume the Devourer form.

[Doomsday Disc world power -4, power of rotation -4. Entering the State of Culmination for 4 minutes.]

Lu Luo's aura became lofty and remote, like that of a mighty figure from afar. Behind him, a phantom silhouette gradually appeared. As the disc absorbed Lu Luo's blood, this silhouette began to solidify. Then, it slowly overlapped with Lu Luo's figure!

Lu Luo's eyes began to lose their human shape and rationality. His pupils gradually narrowed into vertical slits. And the clothes he had just put on burst apart as his muscles and body swelled!

An ancient aura washed over Mo Fan. The Dark Energy of negative attributes around his body had almost materialized.

This feeling, this power, made Mo Fan sense an encroaching darkness.
