Lie, Nasha's Grand General, brutally defeated the Lord of the Charnel Ground in a fierce battle. However, the Lord of the Charnel Ground revealed his cultivation of the Six Dusts Distinguish Consciousness, trapping Lie in a powerful illusion of his deepest desires. Lie, convinced he had become the strongest and overthrown the kingdom, was left in a state of delusion. The Lord of the Charnel Ground then took the unaware Lie and hid him away, deeming him too dangerous to awaken.

On the spiral corridor.

Gao Changkong was blocked by Kanasu, the Grand General of Nasha.

It was a massive white centaur, with twisted horns growing from its head and a strangely shaped lance resting on its shoulder.

Call it a lance, but it looked more like a giant two-handed sword. The upper half was a double-edged greatsword, while the lower half, nearly equal in length, served as the handle.

This weapon was perfect for both slashing and thrusting.

In truth, for a giant centaur standing over ten meters tall, any weapon in its hands would unleash terrifying destructive power!

Gao Changkong and his two companions stopped in their tracks. Just one look, and they could feel the immense pressure radiating from this being before them.

In Gao Changkong's eyes, the mark of reincarnation began to spin.

In the blink of an eye, his pupils narrowed.

"You two leave first. This opponent is not someone you can interfere with."

On a battlefield between Epsilon and Delta-levels, unless someone possessed a specific ability, no one else had the right to enter.

Joining in would only make them cannon fodder.

Neither Gu Man nor Chen Xiaozheng could offer any help when facing this giant centaur.

【Reincarnation Deduction】After advancing to Epsilon-level, Gao Changkong's ability had undergone a qualitative transformation.

Except when facing someone like Zhang Yi, who possessed an upper-level time-based superhuman ability, he could use deduction to maximize his knowledge of an opponent's capabilities.

In other words, before battle even began, he could obtain at least 70% of the opponent's intelligence.

Upon hearing this, Gu Man and Chen Xiaozheng didn't hesitate for a second. They immediately retreated from the spiral corridor.

As Gao Changkong's right and left hands, they never doubted his orders.

The massive white centaur carried its knightly lance-sword, its hooves clattering against the spiral corridor as it strode step by step toward Gao Changkong.

"How dare you covet the Holy Spirit Hall? What audacity."

"When did a creature like you emerge from the race of hairless rats?"

Its tone was calm, utterly devoid of fluctuation. It slowly raised its lance-sword, aiming it down at Gao Changkong like a god passing judgment on a mortal.

"Those who offend the gods face only death."

Gao Changkong laughed.

"But since ancient times, what people call gods are just humans—or other races—with greater power!"

He spread his arms and laughed heartily. "So whoever is stronger is the god! Maybe I can defeat you and then head to that floating temple up there!"

As he spoke, massive rune-carved stones slowly materialized behind him. The scattered stone fragments arranged themselves in a chaotic manner that seemed random but gradually formed a massive stone ring in an orderly pattern.

The stone ring shimmered, each rune glowing with golden light.

Gao Changkong's ability,【Heavenly Dance Treasure Wheel】.

He reached his right hand straight back toward the runes. One golden rune flickered, and from it, he pulled out a dazzling golden sword.

【Solar Wheel Seal】.

Another rune leaped out like a tadpole, coalescing on Gao Changkong's body into a suit of golden armor.

【Immovable Wisdom King Seal】.

The third seal, and Gao Changkong's most important one—【Meditation Seal】—was already engraved in his eyes.

This seal allowed him to deduce everything about to happen based on the intelligence he had at any moment.

Although this deduction method wasn't as absolute as time-based abilities, its range was broader, and its temporal scope larger.

It just required sacrificing a bit of precision.

But in a situation where neither side knew each other, obtaining intelligence with 70% accuracy from the first move already gave him a huge advantage.

Kanasu watched coldly as Gao Changkong prepared. A frigid smile curled at the corner of its mouth.

The next moment, it reared its massive hooves high and charged forward, lance-sword in hand.

Its speed was impossible to describe—at least faster than the human eye could see, faster than Gao Changkong's reaction time.

If not for his ability to deduce the future, Gao Changkong would never have dodged this strike.

When the lance-sword slashed diagonally from his position, Gao Changkong barely evaded it by a hair's breadth. The Immovable Vajra Armor on his body instantly showed cracks!

A black sword energy spread along the spiral corridor for thousands of meters!

This spiral corridor was made of some unknown stone material, capable of supporting the massive Holy Spirit Hall high in the sky. It could even withstand attacks from Black Chariot-level superhumans without so much as a tremor.

No wonder Nasha had existed for such a long time, using these seemingly slender and fragile stone bridges to connect the entire royal city.

And with just this one strike, Gao Changkong felt the fear of death.

"The gap in strength is too great! At least 20,000 points in the superhuman ability index!"

Gao Changkong's expression was extremely grave.

He knew that even with his reincarnation deduction ability, having survived countless life-and-death trials in Bharata, his ability index was only barely reaching 17,000 points.

And facing Kanasu, the Grand General of Nasha, who was so far above him, this single strike had all but erased any possibility of victory!

In the face of an absolute gap in strength, flashy abilities couldn't make up for it.

But since he had come this far, and beyond this point lay his final destination, how could he possibly give up?

Over the years, in his quest for revenge, he had endured every kind of hardship and faced countless life-or-death situations.

A sliver of hope was something he had to fight for himself—not a gift from anyone.

Gao Changkong quickly flashed behind Kanasu, aimed at its lower back, and swung the Golden Holy Sword straight out.

From the tip of his sword, a surging wave of energy burst forth, like a laser cannon piercing through space toward Kanasu's body!

Facing an attack from behind, Kanasu's enormous body was not sluggish at all. It turned around swiftly and slowly rotated its lance-sword in its hands.

The void around it suddenly twisted in a way visible to the naked eye. Even the light became illusory, as if it had stepped into a realm that didn't exist.

Gao Changkong's attack plunged into that illusory space and inexplicably vanished.

But a moment later, it reappeared in front of Kanasu.

Only this time, it was heading straight for him!

Gao Changkong felt the power of his own blade. He had no choice but to raise his sword to block.

The immense force sent him flying backward, and he struggled mightily to regain his footing on the stone bridge of the corridor.

Kanasu's ability was called【Gates of Heaven】.

It could distort any attack directed at it, and naturally, it could also change the direction of the attack, turning it back on the one who launched it.
