Unless the opponent’s devouring ability is on par with the Chat Group in terms of rank, the Chat Group’s rules wouldn’t be able to affect them.
Or alternatively, if the [Rule-Level Item] bound to the opponent possesses such an ability—otherwise, no.
And this also made Bai Xuan think of a way to fight, especially when facing an enemy like this: toss in a useless Devil Fruit exchanged from the Chat Group, and then the opponent wouldn’t be able to remove the Devil Fruit’s drawback—being countered by seawater and Seastone, thereby affecting their combat power.
As for why not feed them two Devil Fruits at once?
The opponent wasn’t human, after all. Bai Xuan didn’t know what their body structure was like. And most importantly, if the enemy’s strength surpassed that of the demon inside the Devil Fruit, then even eating several would be useless.
“Bang!”
While the Shendu stood there dumbfounded, looking at Bai Xuan as if he’d seen a ghost—as though wondering how on earth he’d come up with such a fighting method—Bai Xuan snapped his fingers. Countless pieces of Seastone appeared in the void, wrapping Mo Rong up.
“Is it over just like that?”
Daigo looked at Mo Rong, who was now sealed by Seastone, with a somewhat dazed expression. He never would have imagined a battle would end this way.
The Chat Group’s Devil Fruits really were terrifying—the only way to erase their drawback was through the Chat Group itself.
Wasn’t this the perfect attack method against enemies with huge bodies and big mouths?
And what Bai Xuan chose was the Mythical Beast Type · Human-Human Fruit—wasn’t that just a fruit in ordinary human form? It didn’t add any abilities at all, and even added a weakness to seawater out of nowhere.
Could he, in the future, when facing terrifying monsters, find an opportunity to toss a Devil Fruit into their mouths and then attack with Seastone?
Especially against monsters like Gatanothor that lie in the sea.
As if thinking of something, a smile involuntarily appeared on Daigo’s face.
“It won’t end that easily. Both seawater and Seastone can be adapted to.”
Bai Xuan said calmly. Kaido had already proven this to them.
Starting from low-purity Seastone and adapting step by step, until finally being able to adapt to the highest-purity Seastone—then the weakness to Seastone would no longer be a concern.
“But adaptation takes time.”
“What we need to do is—kill him during that adaptation period.”
As he spoke, endless white light gathered and compressed in Bai Xuan’s hand. Raising his hand toward Mo Rong, who was wrapped in Seastone in the sky, a sacred and blazing beam of light shot out violently.
“Boom!”
Accompanied by a violent roar, the white beam pierced through the sky, the atmosphere, and finally entered outer space.
It lasted a full ten seconds before the blazing beam slowly dissipated—and that figure had already vanished.
Uncle Nine, Daigo, and the Shendu stared blankly at this terrifying scene.
Was this Bai Xuan’s true strength?
Was it really true that not even a few months had passed since he obtained his abilities? Wasn’t this a bit too terrifying?
But thinking about Bai Xuan’s abilities, it didn’t seem all that unbelievable after all.
He was, after all, someone who had been granted authority by the Earth.
“This time it should really be over…”
Uncle Nine said hesitantly. If even after all that the opponent still wasn’t dealt with, then he truly couldn’t imagine just how terrifying the opponent’s strength was.
The immortals and gods of their world were probably about the same level, right?
The Shendu said nothing, his crimson gaze still fixed on the spot in the sky where the beam had dispersed.
After defeating Marquis Voban and Uchiha Madara, he had grown somewhat complacent.
Especially after reclaiming the throne, when no one could threaten him anymore.
Yes!
His strength was indeed considerable.
But across the myriad worlds, there were far too many people stronger than him.
Currently, within the Chat Group, few could defeat him, and even those who could defeat him couldn’t kill him.
But what about the future?
Given the thirst for power that Uchiha Madara, Marquis Voban, and the others possessed—if he continued like this, how long would it take for them to surpass him?
Bai Xuan had no idea what they were thinking right now. He was only staring at the sky with some surprise.
The Chat Group hadn’t notified them that the mission was complete—meaning the opponent was still alive.
But he was certain that the opponent’s presence had vanished…
Had he escaped? Using the power of a [Rule-Level Item] to travel to another world?
Or was he already dead, but possessed a resurrection ability?
As if responding to Bai Xuan’s confusion, endless blood energy and resentment began converging from between heaven and earth, ultimately reforming into Mo Rong’s figure.
At this moment, he looked at Bai Xuan with some apprehension, while also staying wary of the surrounding void—fearful of being bound by Seastone again, his body becoming weak and powerless, and then being blasted to death.
He really had been killed by Bai Xuan just now, but fortunately, thanks to a reward he’d previously obtained from the [System], he was able to revive once more.
But that was only this one time.
If it happened again, he would truly die.
“System, detect the opponent’s information and analyze his strength.”
Mo Rong said inwardly to the System, while preparing to shuttle back to his original world. If the opponent’s strength exceeded his imagination, then he absolutely would not stay in this world any longer.
He still had many things left unfinished. He absolutely could not die here.
“System, what kind of existence is that one inside? Can you probe it?”
“Ding, beginning detection.”
“Detecting…”
“Detection complete. Target identity: Child of Heaven’s Dao, Child of Earth, Child of Nature!”
“Target strength: Unknown. In any world where Earth exists, the target can receive full power augmentation from the Earth.”
“Ding.”
“Detected that the host is currently on Earth and harbors malice toward the target. Host will be subjected to all-around targeting by the Earth’s consciousness.”
“Blood energy, resentment, darkness… energy has been stripped. Paralysis, freezing, poison, burning… debuffs passively activated.”
“System suggests the host abandon hostility toward the target.”
What the hell!
Mo Rong felt his intelligence had been insulted.
The opponent being a Child of the Planet was one thing—after all, this identity wasn’t nonexistent among demons either. Those with atavistic bloodlines had a chance of receiving the Dark Realm’s blessing, with heaven-defying luck, destined to become the Dark Realm’s king. In the Dark Realm, anyone who opposed them came to no good end.
But even so, that was only within the Dark Realm. Once they left the Dark Realm, they would die just like anyone else.
But this opponent—in any world across the myriad realms where Earth exists, he would receive full power augmentation?
That was just too much!
Was he the Child of every Earth or something?
And what the hell was all that stuff afterward?!
He couldn’t mobilize any of Earth’s energy?
Not blood energy, not resentment, not even darkness or moonlight—and on top of that, he was passively weakened?
Freezing? Paralysis? Poison? Burning?
Burning was one thing, but where did freezing, poison, and paralysis come from?
Breathing?
