“Oh…” Qi Xia nodded. “So what do you intend to do?”

“You should know that injuries caused by ‘Enter Dream’ will directly affect the main body.” Heavenly-Dragon answered. “Even if you’ve already obtained ‘Endless Life,’ your body is still that of a mortal after all. For me, killing you would only take an instant.”

“Would you kill me?” Qi Xia completely disbelieved Heavenly-Dragon’s statement. “If you did that, the ‘New World’ you want to go to would only become an empty city. Even if it has towering buildings and magnificent forests, with all the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas of the real world, you would absolutely never see a single living person. This is the reason you’ve been trying to bewitch me all along.”

“It doesn’t matter, Baiyang.” Heavenly-Dragon said. “There will always be a way. I can spend decades waiting for an ‘Endless Life,’ so naturally I can also spend decades more waiting for a ‘Creator of All Living Things.’ But I don’t need unstable elements. Your killing intent toward me is extremely heavy. Since you’ve consistently refused to cooperate, I can only make you sleep forever.”

“Ha…” Qi Xia slowly broke into a grin and walked over to the dining table in the room.

At this moment, the dining table had already turned into a massive square block of flesh and blood, yet a glass of water still stood quietly on top of it.

“Heavenly-Dragon… why won’t you drink the water?” Qi Xia asked.

Heavenly-Dragon silently turned his flat face toward Qi Xia, hesitating to speak.

“The water in my dream is very difficult for you to move… isn’t it?” Qi Xia smiled. “Even with divine power, you would need to exert some effort to drink down this glass of water.”

“So what?”

“And once you drink a sip, this water will produce extreme gravitational force within your body. If an ordinary person entered my dream, a single drop of immovable water would be enough to pierce through their body. But your body has been strengthened—this water will only cause you unbearable pain, but won’t directly kill you.”

“You know all this logic.” Heavenly-Dragon said. “Yet you still pretended to pour me a glass of water. Why do something unnecessary?”

“It’s not unnecessary.” Qi Xia answered. “Heavenly-Dragon, this glass of water placed here is meant to make you realize the difficulty and retreat.”

“Oh?”

“You can’t even drink the water in my dream—you also can’t devour my life.” Qi Xia said. “So go. Stop wasting time.”

“Baiyang…” That mouth opened slightly. “You might be confusing me with ordinary people.”

In the next second, Heavenly-Dragon waved his hand lightly, and the glass on the table instantly shattered into fragments. The water inside also spilled all over the flesh.

*Dong!*

On the screen in the plaza downstairs, the two characters “Disintegrate” were already clearly visible.

“Normally speaking, when you can injure your opponent with a blade, the opponent can definitely also injure you.” Heavenly-Dragon continued. “Now your inner world has completely lost all pure land. This place is infinitely close to a chaotic realm, meaning I don’t need to exert much effort to cause damage here. The crack on the glass earlier required thirty percent of my strength to create, but now?”

“But I haven’t turned into flesh and blood.” Qi Xia said. “Even if you can destroy objects at will, how could you harm me?”

“A mortal body is ultimately a mortal body.”

Heavenly-Dragon snorted coldly, then reached out and clenched his hand. Immediately, a massive stone spike appeared at the ceiling above Qi Xia’s head.

In the next second, the stone spike plummeted down from an extremely close distance.

Heavenly-Dragon originally thought Qi Xia’s death was certain, but Qi Xia’s mind moved slightly, and the flesh and blood on the ceiling instantly grew wildly into countless arms that firmly wrapped around the stone spike, then rapidly contracted inward, crushing the entire spike into fragments.

*DONG!!!*

“Endless Life” fully manifested.

Countless stone fragments fell from above Qi Xia’s head, and he burst into deranged laughter at this moment.

“Heavenly-Dragon… haven’t you noticed yet… only in this space are your strength and mine equal.” Qi Xia said. “You find it difficult to shake my body in this dream, and I also find it difficult to destroy your immortal body. This is how it should be.”

“You…” Heavenly-Dragon’s voice gradually turned stern. He discovered that what Qi Xia said was not false.

In this space, both sides found it very difficult to cause harm to the other’s body, as if both had already obtained immortal bodies.

Even more coincidentally, both could create objects freely here. Everything Heavenly-Dragon created was real matter, while everything Qi Xia created was flesh and blood.

Looking at it this way, Heavenly-Dragon felt he was more like a mortal carrying “immortal techniques,” coming to challenge the “true god” of this space.

“What an absurd means… Baiyang.”

Heavenly-Dragon snorted lightly, then his feet left the ground as he floated up, then crashed toward Qi Xia at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

Qi Xia suddenly retreated several steps. Before his eyes, chaotic bone needles broke through the flesh from the ground and grew wildly, stabbing toward Heavenly-Dragon’s form.

Heavenly-Dragon didn’t dare take lightly the “native objects” of this space and could only dodge left and right to avoid the sudden bone needles, while Qi Xia also retreated rapidly with vigilant eyes.

Although their strengths were equal in this space, Heavenly-Dragon was still Heavenly-Dragon after all. His experience in using his abilities was extremely skilled. In this kind of magical combat situation, if his thoughts wavered even slightly or his conviction faltered somewhat, he would be trapped in this dreamscape forever.

Heavenly-Dragon’s entire form flew at high speed. After dodging a bone needle, his feet landed on the wall, and like a hunting falcon, he twisted his waist on the wall, then shot explosively toward Qi Xia’s direction.

In a flash of lightning and flint, Heavenly-Dragon raised his empty right hand into a fist and swung it down forcefully.

Seeing this, Qi Xia’s expression instantly turned grave. He also quickly raised his right hand, grabbed a handful of air, and blocked upward with force.

*Dong!*

The sound of blade meeting flesh suddenly exploded, and the air around both of them was shocked into ripples.

After the stillness, Heavenly-Dragon held in his hand a crude iron blade made of metal, while Qi Xia gripped a sword of bone and flesh.

Though the bone-flesh sword was sword-shaped, it had twisted facial features—a pair of eyes at the hilt and teeth hanging all over the blade. At this moment, its features were all moving, clearly a bizarre living thing.

Its spine bone had collided with Heavenly-Dragon’s sword. Blood splattered everywhere, and its expression was one of pain.

“What a terrifying way of fighting, Baiyang…” The remaining mouth on Heavenly-Dragon’s face slowly opened wide. “Look at yourself now. Why do you think that after becoming a ‘god,’ you’ll be more righteous than me?”

Qi Xia knew this was all Heavenly-Dragon’s scheme to shake his conviction, so he stopped speaking. With merely a wave of his hand, the flesh and blood near Heavenly-Dragon began to surge again, wrapping toward him.

Heavenly-Dragon instantly struck out with an extremely powerful palm wind that sent both himself and Qi Xia flying back several meters. The surging flesh and blood also lunged at empty space in the room.

“I’m truly curious.” Heavenly-Dragon released his grip, and the iron blade in his hand turned to fragments, then he spoke. “The current situation is a bit too bizarre.”

“How so?” Qi Xia asked.
