2055 Call Me Water Ghost! (1)

“Self-destruction?!”

“He wants to self-detonate!”

On the day when the Divine Oracle was infused with that chaotic, surging energy, even though others could not hear Yu Zhiwen’s voice, they became aware of Xu Xiaoshou’s intentions.

To embark on the journey to the afterlife with Rao Yaoyao was his only choice!

But…

Why?

No one understood.

Xu Xiaoshou clearly had better options. He controlled the Divine Oracle and could have continued to fight Rao Yaoyao and dragged the battle on while channeling energy into the spatial crack.

He could have dragged it out until the Inner Island seal was completely broken by the overflowing energy.

Someone raised his voice and hit the nail on the head:

“I get it. It’s pointless!”

“Xu Xiaoshou saw his fate. He relied on the Eighth Sword Deity’s sword cognition, as well as Elder Yan and Sword Saint Rao’s negligence, to succeed in the first place.”

“But facing head-on combat, even with control over the Divine Oracle, he couldn’t possibly win.”

“In this situation, if the battle dragged on, Elder Yan might resurrect from somewhere, and he would have even less chance of winning.”

“But why self-destruct?” Someone still could not fathom it.

“Look above!”

At this moment, most people have also caught on and lifted their eyes.

The ghost beasts that had been howling, menacing, and attacking recklessly had all stopped their behaviors and were now staring intently at the battle.

The gaze of all the ghost beasts conveyed one thing: anticipation!

Under the previous outpour of massive energy, the thin membrane between Inner and Outer Island had almost been breached.

With just a little more fuel to the fire, the force would soar, and the seal would be broken.

Xu Xiaoshou did not have the time to engage Rao Yaoyao in a prolonged battle anymore. If he continued to delay and something unexpected happened, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

But choosing self-destruction, and dragging Rao Yaoyao along into the spatial crack…

The energy explosion at that moment, once swallowed, would be the last straw to break the camel’s back, guaranteed to shatter the seal.

If Rao Yaoyao resisted, her swordsmanship and energy would also be devoured by the spatial crack, and she would become defenseless.

But if she did not resist…

Could an ancient swordsman with her defense at its weakest, withstand the self-detonation of the Divine Oracle?

“Devious!”

“Xu Xiaoshou, you have a devious heart!”

“That’s Fairy Rao we’re talking about; how can you be so heartless and ruthless?”

Once everyone truly understood Xu Xiaoshou’s intentions, they could not help but marvel at the depth of this young man’s cunning.

He had turned every disadvantage in the battle into an advantage, maximizing every opportunity.

In the end, by detonating the Divine Oracle, he not only severed one arm of the Holy Divine Palace but also brought Rao Yaoyao down with him, severing another arm.

This went beyond the ordinary person’s thinking!

Staying calm and rational during a holy battle was already challenging, but what Xu Xiaoshou had achieved was even more difficult!

And most importantly…

“If Xu Xiaoshou dares to self-detonate, then it means that the one controlling the Divine Oracle is definitely not his true self.”

“He…”

As this statement echoed, everyone’s hearts trembled, and they looked toward the figure on the head of the Demonic Emperor Black Dragon.

There, stood a proud silhouette, high and mighty.

As if sensing everyone’s gaze, he slowly extended his hand, turned it over, and then pressed it back.

Without words, everyone understood his arrogance.

“Everything was part of his plan?”

“Turning the tide with a wave of his hand?”

Even if some could not stand the arrogance emanating from Xu Xiaoshou at this moment, they had to admit it.

He had outshone them all.

Playing a holy battle at his age, Xu Xiaoshou was unparalleled in history, surpassing even Bazhun’an!

…

“Swordless Sword Technique!”

“Three Streams of Red Plum Blossoms, Falling Flower World!”

The state of the void inverted, and Rao Yaoyao returned to reality.

“Time-space leap…”

“Time and space, freeze.”

The space attributes halted Rao Yaoyao’s brief resistance.

“Emotionless Sword Technique, Mountain and Sea…”

“Soul Reading! Adorable Rao, stop struggling and descend into hell with me!”

Her delicate body trembled as Rao Yaoyao felt her soul being invaded. Even her sword technique was interrupted, and her thoughts finally came to a halt.

Divine Oracle had already deduced all of Rao Yaoyao’s resistance methods through the Information Library, the Knowledge Repository, and Rao Yaoyao’s personal habits.

The answers were relayed to the Second True Body in advance.

Therefore, the Second True Body did not need to make any predictions; every guess was spot on.

When Rao Yaoyao’s rosy lips moved, he knew exactly how to respond.

After three consecutive failed attempts to save herself, Rao Yaoyao had lost the precious window for a golden rescue.

The monstrous Divine Oracle, with a beastlike presence, enveloped Rao Yaoyao, leaving her motionless before hurtling them both into the spatial rift.

The energy was chaotic, surging, and exploding…

As her vision plunged into complete darkness, all the scenery disappeared from her sight. There was silence all around, and no trace of sound remained.

“Ah…”

The Second True Body sighed, following her into the melancholy moments before death.

“I had already anticipated it. When I emerged from my birth by the original self, he was so weak.”

“At that moment, I knew that countless versions of myself had fallen before me.”

“Every person is destined to die… Oh well, it’s fine like this. At least I have company. Dying beneath the peony flowers is still romantic, even as a ghost.”

In the final moments, the Second True Body sent away the Divine Array Wheel of the Divine Oracle.

Inside it, everything that Divine Oracle Number Two could extract under the authority of Dao Qiongcang was replicated.

Long before Xu Xiaoshou made this decision, the Second True Body had foreseen his fate:

Dao Qiongcang—Modifying the Divine Path Principles and assuming this identity, it was bound to come to Hallmaster Dao’s attention.
