Not a Human, Xiao Tianyi's Death
In a world filled with red light, An Fuqing's eyes revealed a wary expression.
At this moment, Xiao Tianyi felt very unfamiliar, so much so that An Fuqing felt he had become a different person.
With long black hair draped over his shoulders and a handsome demeanor, Xiao Tianyi stood with his hands clasped behind his back, casually saying, "Step aside; in my presence, your strength is no different from that of an ant."
Four sharp sword energies erupted from An Fuqing, soaring into the sky and stirring the red clouds, while a realm of sword energy manifested in her eyes, resonating with the sword light surrounding her.
"You are not Xiao Tianyi; who are you?"
"I am, of course, myself."
In response to An Fuqing's inquiry, Xiao Tianyi did not give a direct answer, instead casting his gaze toward the demon god egg behind her.
Boom! The heavens and earth trembled as a scorching will fused with laws, forming a golden sun with a diameter of a hundred kilometers that appeared behind Xiao Tianyi.
Then came the second, the third golden sun... In the blink of an eye, ten suns appeared in the sky, emitting boundless light and heat, burning the heavens, boiling the seas, and annihilating all things.
Under the overwhelming heat, the ground around collapsed and melted, forming a celestial pit with a diameter of a thousand kilometers, while the red light that permeated the heavens and earth was expelled, creating circles of golden halos.
Under the terrifying power comparable to that of a demon god, An Fuqing's stature sank.
The realm of sword energy formed by the fusion of will and laws around An Fuqing also trembled violently before suddenly collapsing, causing her and the ten-kilometer radius of the ground to plummet a thousand meters into the earth.
This was the gap of absolute power.
Even though An Fuqing had already stepped into the mythical realm with astonishing combat power, she could not even make a move before the force emanating from Xiao Tianyi.
After an invisible strand of the will of the rules suppressed An Fuqing, Xiao Tianyi's gaze remained indifferent as he extended his right hand, slowly pointing at her.
A pure golden light gathered on his index finger, radiating a terrifying energy fluctuation capable of instantly eradicating all life below the mythical realm.
Xiao Tianyi intended to kill her!
Under the intense threat of death, An Fuqing's eyes held no trace of fear; her gaze was sharp, exuding a sharpness that could sever the heavens and earth, each word deliberate.
"You are not Xiao Tianyi; who exactly are you?"
"Would you like to know?"
Xiao Tianyi's gaze turned cold and indifferent, filled with a sense of inhumanity, as he said, "I have said before, I am who I am. At the same time, there has never been a 'person' named Xiao Tianyi in this world."
"The so-called Xiao Tianyi is merely a consciousness that should not exist, a personality born during my brief slumber as a member of the Human Race."
...This revelation stunned An Fuqing.
She had many speculations in her heart, such as Xiao Tianyi suffering from personality split due to his cultivation method, or being split into three, resulting in mental instability.
But she never imagined that Xiao Tianyi did not actually exist.
The human genius who had astonished an era was fundamentally the reincarnation of an unknown and powerful life force's will.
An Fuqing's long hair danced wildly behind her as a killing intent pervaded her eyes; her voice was low, "So, you are responsible for my mother's injury and the disappearance of my grandfather and the others."
At this moment, many past doubts became clear.
Why did the left demon stabilize so quickly after their self-splitting, while Xiao Tianyi remained in seclusion for so many years and seemed to have vanished without contacting the federation for an explanation?
Because he had never been in seclusion.
Yet, some doubts still surfaced in An Fuqing's mind, such as the 'Xiao Tianyi' who appeared on the Southern Battlefield at that time; the demeanor and feelings he exhibited could not be faked.
