In that moment, within the car, An Ning's reminder sounded, and then Ji Jue's ears buzzed as if a sharp noise suddenly burst forth. His vision started to black out, his mind became dizzy, swaying with fear surging like a tide, anxiety, confusion, and unease appeared in turns.

The previously focused state shattered in an instant. Not just that, amidst the countless swirling emotions, his thoughts and reason were eroded in reverse, causing him to breathe heavily, drenched in sweat.

Heart Core!!!

It's not just the frenzy of the five aggregates of the Heart Core, but also the soul impact of the Ascension.

At this moment, in the copilot seat of Sky City, the blue light shot from the eyes of the blond navigator, an infinite splendor manifesting.

For a long time, Ascension and Heart Core have often been confused by many people. After all, both stem from the same origin and arise from the same heart.

Ascension is the eternal longing for the ascent of life, pursuing comprehension, realization, and elevation, whereas the Heart Core is the inherent desires of all living beings, the various innate likes, dislikes, cravings, and fears.

The debate between divinity and beastliness, the struggle between the superego and the id, is endless and naturally hard to reconcile.

Unlike other Chosen Ones who follow either one, the opponent's matrix is a compound type that accommodates both! The harsh requirements and conditions for the user need not be said. Being able to develop to this point, its threat cannot simply be viewed as a mere sum of one Ascension and one Heart Core.

Even with early preparations and precautions, Ji Jue's rational defenses were breached instantly, and his mind plunged into chaos.

Amidst the confusion, infinite determination surged and dissipated from within his soul, despondency setting in, with an insatiable hunger and desire rising like waves. A girl's gentle breath sounded in his ears, and a faint fragrant scent wafted to his nose, what filled his reason and thoughts was unexpectedly the soft touch left from a past handshake.

And even, one figure after another appeared in turns before his eyes.

Completely without any resistance, Ji Jue was already enchanted and entranced!

That's why I hate the Heart Core!!!

In the midst of his dazed intoxication, Ji Jue couldn't help but become furious: back when the Chosen One's summon occurred, nine out of the twelve Superiors came, didn't you fucking show up!

Fortunately, preparations had already been made before this...

In the swift descent and daze, Ji Jue gritted his teeth, reaching out—

In an instant, within the racing Little Ox, the configuration of the compartment changed, the glove box on the right side abruptly opened, and amidst the structural transformation, a handle rose.

Clutched tightly in Ji Jue's hand!

—— Pan Ying!

In that moment, the seal was lifted, Dragon Blood and Mercury retreated, under the urging of the spiritual essence, an infinite killing intent and madness surged like a waterfall, ascending from the instincts and comprehension engraved within the soul, bursting forth uncontrollably. It swept away all desires and distractions, filling his consciousness and soul, occupying everything.

Turning the world in Ji Jue's eyes into a bloody red!

Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!

In the copilot seat of Sky City, the navigator's face changed drastically!

As if a shield tunneling machine breaking through the mountain rock's obstacle, the torrent spraying out from the mountain body, thick as blood and flamboyantly crimson. The waterfall formed by endless death and malice swept mightily, filling Ji Jue's consciousness, and then... following the connection between this consciousness in reverse, surged backward!

Pop!

A cracking sound emerged from the void, the driver of Sky City was shocked, turning to look at the navigator convulsing in spasms on the copilot seat: "Hey! Maya, what's wrong with you——"

Maya didn't speak, gasping heavily, thick blood seeping from her eyes and nostrils, drop by drop.

Roaring, she forcibly cut the link.

Not only that spewing killing intent, but the evil of humanity was something she was long accustomed to, troublesome or painful as it might be, but merely a matter of fighting or indulging, yet some instinct made her shudder and tremble uncontrollably.

As if she could vaguely perceive some hidden colossal entity beyond that blood!

More pure than any so-called killing intent, more savage than the madness concentrated by death, even more hideously terrifying than the imaginable limits of despair of a human soul...

What the hell kind of monster is that guy!

And just before the connection was severed, the fragmented surface thoughts she had accessed made her involuntarily shout:

"Watch out!"

In that moment, on the driver's seat of the Little Ox, in the instant of regaining consciousness, Ji Jue instinctively reached out towards the opponent already within two kilometers.

Now, it's my turn!

——[Mechanical Descent]

Amidst the storm, under the aerial live broadcast lens, the vehicle from Sky City suddenly began to shake without warning, twisting, thick smoke rising from the engine, speed sharply decreased.

As if in protest, ready to break down?

All the viewers in front of the screen instinctively straightened their bodies, eyes widened—at this critical juncture, is it going to stall!

The entire armored vehicle violently trembled at that moment, emitting sharp friction sounds as if it were going to fall apart completely. And beneath the engine hood, countless spiritual circuits surfaced, resisting the changes imposed remotely by Ji Jue. The driver's face was already pale, the force field long deployed.

The control power of the Heavenly Origin System had already pre-covered the entire vehicle, and what's more, there was the alchemy structure within the car, resisting external interference. However, within Ji Jue's spiritual essence seemed hidden some strange vibration and transformation; a trace of faint scarlet brought terrifying erosion, infiltrating pervasively from within.

If it weren't for his earlier precautions, the engine would likely have been exploded by Ji Jue!

But now, lagging behind at the most crucial moment.

Seizing this chance, the opponent accelerated once more, leaving Sky City behind, charging first into that swath of ashen storm, disappearing from sight.

The outcome is decided!

"Damn it!"

The driver became furious and exchanged a glance with Maya.

Subsequently, the enormous manta ray Disaster Beast from the stormy heavens unfurled its wings once more, and under Maya's command, pursued swiftly and silently into that part of the unobservable storm.

Since it came to this, there's no reason to let it go.

Taking advantage of the storm as cover, striking ruthlessly!

Yet before that, amidst the rumbling storm, a sound of a tragic raging roar echoed, resembling the dying wail of a giant beast.

Even the storm itself showed many crimson patches, spreading, seemingly like blood seeping and pouring from beneath a cover of white cotton.

Then, as Sky City charged into the storm, just as the live broadcast's aerial view was obscured, a vicious and ferocious steel monster was already trampling the heavily wounded giant beast, barreling violently forward!

From the moment it entered the storm, the Little Ox turned and transformed in one fluid motion, discarding the compartment full of burdens and supplies, shaking off the shackles, and leaped again!

The outcome is decided?

What a load of crap!

No one's even dead yet, how's it decided?!

Ji Jue chased down the path by the satellite image, deliberately intercepting in front of Sky City, coming to say hello?

In the instantaneous crossover, the Little Ox leaped onto the manta, giant claws trampling, iron hammers and battle axes intersecting with slashes, racing frantically along the manta's back. In the empty other hand, Pan Ying shot out, massive spiritual essence pouring in, Dragon Blood catalyzing to ignite a torrent of crimson light resembling a giant sword.

In the blink of an eye, it pierced through like a withering assault, penetrating with a drag as the giant claws raced forward.

All the way through from start to finish, splitting the Disaster Beast in two!

Without even waiting for it to fall, the massive sword that had drained the beast of its blood was already raised again. Along with the Little Ox, it leaped forward once more, stepping on remains towards Sky City which had just entered the storm...

Face to face leap and slash!

—— Die to your grandpa!!!
