Wang Wei could not sustain the black hole for long, so he stopped the spell once his body completely recovered. The assassin showed up a few seconds later, as she had jumped into the future. She looked at Wang Wei with her calm, blue eyes, her red hair blowing in the wind.
"The power of nothingness," she uttered with a voice as cold as absolute zero.
"Your eyes tell me you’ve seen people with this power before," Wang Wei commented.
"One of the most arrogant people is the one with achievement in the Path of Perfection or the Path of Nothingness," the assassin said calmly. "They think they are special for pursuing a taboo. The nothingness people are even worse since they think nothing can touch them."
The assassin raised her hand to condense a red curved blade that released an aura of life — not just one life, but all sentient existence, no matter what form they took. Wang Wei immediately squinted after seeing this weapon. "A Blade of Existence?"
What is the opposite of nothingness? Creation, everything, and existence.
"The fundamental rule of this universe is balance," the assassin said. "I don’t know why Grand Dao allows nothingness and perfection to be unique characteristics in the Chaos Universe, but all I care about is that these powers have forces that can balance them."
Two projections materialized behind her: the River of Time and the Source Qi Space. Wang Wei squinted as he realized he was correct and wrong in his analysis. The assassin was indeed a B-Class Primal, but her achievement was from the Source Qi Space. While her connection to the River of Time was significant, it did not yet meet the requirements, meaning he could still sever it.
The assassin suddenly appeared before him and swung her sword, trying to bisect him in two. Her movement was quick. She utilized the space-time continuum as a slingshot to boost her speed to a point that became mathematically and physically illogical. The worst part is that her speed was even faster than before since this Speed Ultimate Skill was powered by the River of Time.
Luckily, Wang Wei’s [Fate Reflex Technique] acted and separated his body from the place where the blade touched him. This situation was slightly comical as Wang Wei’s upper and lower body parts were still under his control, but the midsection cut by the Blade of Existence was annihilated.
Wang Wei’s lower body acted by kicking the assassin. However, she looked at this attack with disdain. While Wang Wei’s flesh was the pinnacle of the Tenth Heaven, this level of an attack was meaningless to her since it was not an ultimate skill. However, she underestimated Wang Wei.
Wang Wei’s perfect skills needed a boost to reach the level of ultimate skills, and he knew that. So, just as the assassin was about to evade this kick to continue slashing him, Wang Wei’s lower body suddenly exploded. By sacrificing his lower body and turning it into the purest form of death power, he met the requirement to boost his perfect skills.
As such, a black door from the underworld materialized behind the assassin. A titanic black skeletal hand reached out to capture her. The assassin frowned before casually waving her sword, which created a temporal tear that banished the Samsara Gate.
’What the hell?’ Wang Wei thought as he noticed an anomaly. For the sake of organization, he divided skills into four levels: regular, perfect, ultimate, and Grand Construct Skills. B-Class Primals used Grand Construct Skills since their ultimate skills are further enhanced by one of the constructs.
During the assassin’s first attack, her speed ultimate skill was powered by the River of Time, but her blade was attacked by a simple boosting Qi from the Source Qi Space. However, when she banished Wang Wei’s technique, her blade attack was powered by the River of Time and a unique Time Qi from the source.
Wang Wei’s confusion and shock stemmed from the sudden change in Qi. It would be understandable if this woman had an Adaptation Qi that could change to other elements, powers, or characteristics. But no. Instead, she used a completely different energy but still reached the requirement for her attack to be called a Grand Construct Skill by Wang Wei.
’Something is wrong,’ Wang Wei analyzed. This anomaly of the assassin might be crucial. It could be the key to his victory or defeat.
