Boom!
With a single slap, Andrew Han killed the ninth Netherfiend. He shook his head, showing no particular joy, and simply sat cross-legged in midair, continuing to observe the Black-and-White Taiji Barrier before him.
“Supreme Saint Zhang is truly this powerful.”
Andrew rested his chin on his hand, gazing ahead as if reclining atop the clouds.
Black and white colors, spinning and flickering.
It enveloped tens of thousands of meters around, and even Andrew Han couldn’t help but be moved by such power... Especially since he could pull Netherfiends out of it, which left him deeply puzzled.
This was a loophole!
If anyone could do this, they would simply station Venerable Saints outside to gradually wear down the Netherfiends and giant Demons inside the war zone. Or, conversely, the monsters could send their own Netherfiends and giant Demons to wait outside and slaughter human Law-Realm guardians.
“Could it be—”
“Is it because of crystal-diamond Inspiration, or because of Cloud-Sea State Internal Power?” Andrew wondered, recalling the process of pulling out the Netherfiend. There was indeed tremendous resistance. Unable to figure it out, he simply stopped thinking and quietly observed the surface of the Black-and-White Taiji Barrier.
No matter what, killing Netherfiends was a good thing!
As for why his mood remained calm, it was because these Netherfiends, killed in just a few moves, were merely ordinary ones.
Even among Law-Realm Netherfiend giants, there were strong and weak ones.
Within their own ranks, they were roughly divided into lower-class, middle-class, and upper-class, corresponding respectively to Sky-Soaring True Person, Venerable Saint, and Supreme Saint... But that was just their internal concept; Law-Realm guardians mainly judged by strength.
In other words—
Any Law-Realm guardian with spiritual sense could clearly judge the horror level of a Netherfiend giant.
Spiritual sense was extremely important. No one could truly explain how a human body could develop such a mysterious perception—science had no answer. Perhaps this was precisely the wonder of consciousness and will.
“Hmm.”
“I am still at the Inspiration level.” Standing on the tranquil sea, Andrew Han mused silently, “But my Inspiration has fully crystallized into crystal-diamond, making my senses even sharper—comparable to spiritual sense, perhaps even surpassing it.”
With his crystal-diamond Inspiration, he could sense in all directions.
It wasn’t just his crystal-diamond Inspiration.
His Cloud-Sea State Internal Power was still Internal Power, yet superior to ordinary Law-Realm Internal Origin.
“There’s not much difference between Internal Power and Internal Origin.”
“It’s just that Internal Origin is purer, absolute energy.” Andrew lowered his head, quietly examining his palm that glimmered like crystal-diamond... At baseline, he was comparable to a Sky-Soaring True Person, and if he entered Inspiration Berserker State, he could infinitely approach the Venerable Saint echelon.
Except for the Calamity, except for life level.
At present, he was nearly indistinguishable from Law-Realm.
Never mind.
No need to think about this now. The urgent task is to remain stationed outside, and pull out as many Netherfiends as I can kill—so the Law-Realm guardians inside can gain the upper hand.
If the forces inside were evenly matched, locked in a world-shaking blood war,
then every Netherfiend killed would add a subtle, almost imperceptible advantage to the battle. Over time, these would accumulate into a decisive edge, even tipping the scales toward overwhelming victory.
In a life-and-death struggle, even the smallest detail could decide the outcome.
Not to mention, with Andrew killing so many Netherfiends, he was sure to shift the situation... turning disadvantage into balance, balance into advantage, and then expanding that advantage without limit.
Wait a little longer.
Andrew waited for Netherfiends.
As for giant Demons, he didn’t consider them... If he accidentally pulled out a giant Demon comparable to the extreme of Sky-Soaring True Person, it would be hard to kill quickly; better to use that time to slaughter Netherfiends.
Moreover—
There was another crucial point!
For ordinary martial artists, including Law-Realm, Netherfiends were far more terrifying and much harder to kill than giant Demons. Since Andrew was uniquely effective against Netherfiends, he naturally targeted them.
Rather than spreading his attention, it was better to focus and specialize on the key point.
