Chapter 2577: Winter

Chapter 2577: Winter



Each action had an impact.

Every action had an impact on everything around it.

The stronger one was, the greater the impact.

And when the one making the action was a Sage, the impact was beyond anything that any Master could handle.

Under normal circumstances.

BOOOOOM BO0000000M BO0000000000OOM!!!!!

The shockwaves of pure destruction that her attacks launched one after another only grew stronger and stronger.

They were more powerful than any Yin-Yang Spear that Rui had ever thrown in his entire life.

They washed over his Body at an astronomical frequency, threatening to destroy him. And yet, they didn't.

Sonic Transparence was a technique that Rui had spontaneously created on the spot to adaptively evolve to the menacingly destructive shockwave that swept past him millions of times each second.

By relying on the principles of electromagnetism and material science, as well as the fact that his Body was mostly comprised of water, he was able to alter the sonic conductance of his Body to astronomical degrees.

It allowed sound waves, shockwaves included, to pass through him with as minimal harm inflicted on him as possible.

It was an even more extreme version of the Phantom Sound Walk that he had created against Ieyasu in their little testing spar.

Unlike that technique, Sonic Transparence sacrificed durability in order to increase sonic conductance. After all, the more durable an object, the more rigid it was. The more rigid it was, the less it would allow sound to flow through the object and instead collide with sound in a harmful collision.

And thus, Rui voluntarily sacrificed all his durability in order to allow the shockwaves to flow through him thanks to extraordinarily high sonic conductance. With how much he had weakened his Body, even a Squire-level punch would have been able to hurt him.

Thankfully, he didn't need durability all that much for this particular fight.

The result?

He was able to not only evade countless blows that were exponentially faster than he was, he was able to negate the sheer amount of energy onslaught that erupted from Sage Himari with each passing attack, growing stronger and stronger with each passing moment.

Even the most powerful Martial Masters would have died millions of times by now had they been in his place.

And yet-

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH

WHOOSH!!!!!

RUMBLE!!!!!!!

She could not defeat Rui in close-quarters combat.

She could not vanquish him with her fists.

It was a humiliating realization.

So much so that her ego almost refused to allow her to acknowledge this truth.

And yet, the only thing more humiliating would be to let this battle go on for much longer.

She would need to use her Martial Art.

She would need to stop holding back her true power and use her Martial Art.

She would need to use the full might she possessed as true Martial Sage.

"Behold the might of a Martial Sage." Her eyes grew frosty. "Behold my Winter."

WHOOOOOSH!!!!!!!!!!!

An endless blizzard emerged from the depths of her as she fueled it with the power of the

gods.

Materia prima.

The very Origin of all materia in the universe.

She channeled this celestial power into her blizzard, fueling to become a true Sage-level

attack.

WHHH0000000000000000SSSHHHHH!!!!!!!

The atmosphere ceased to exist, condensing into ice.

Motion ceased to exist.

The very flow of time seemed to freeze over as she fueled her expanding Winter to consume

the entire world.

Absolute Zero.

An attack that no Master could possibly resist.

And yet, the faintest of whispers escaped Rui as Winter consumed him.

"Sun."
