Chapter Forty-Three: A Clash of Hearts

Compared to other battlefields, the battle between Zhan Lan and Linaya, two psychic power controllers, shows a completely different painting style.

I saw that Zhan Lan's body was dark and deep, like a vast and deep boundless space, with stars rising and falling, and the stars were shining. If you look closely, you will find that the starlight is actually a collection of glorious spiritual words and arcane incantations, which are transmitted from one star to another, like gravity holding the stars together; It also attracts the aura around her, blending into a galaxy that wraps around Zhan Lan, setting her off like a goddess of stars.

Behind Zhan Lan, there is the most dazzling and heaviest silver star, the changes in the brightness and brightness coincide with the ups and downs of Zhan Lan's heart, inhaling darkness when contracting, and bursting silver light when relaxing, which is the center and origin of the entire universe.

- Since the team battle between Resident Evil II and the Demon Team, Zhan Lan's "Heart Universe" has reappeared.

On her opposite side, nine towers were built around Linaya.

The sacred and solemn tower of gold, the tower of chalk that remains independent, and the tower of forging and refining that melts the furnace.

A tower of sacrifice with flames, a tower of mysteries with runes swirling, and a tower of crystals that shine brightly.

The tower of bones of the relics, the tower of machinery with rotating gears, and the tower of nature with towering branches and leaves.

The nine towering towers all have completely different styles and origins, but they also have a unified commonality, that is, they exude divinity.

Around these nine giant towers, castles, fortresses, churches, shrines, and palaces of great scale emerged from the void, and countless tall and magnificent buildings were piled together in a regular geometric distribution, paved into some kind of mysterious layout that Zhan Lan could not understand its mysteries but could know its strange and mysterious layout, like a country, from which the sounds of praise, prayers, confessions, sermons, and chanting were all heard.

- And in the heart of the city-state, Linaya sits on the throne like a noble queen, ruling all this.

Unlike the battle between Zhan Lan and Tom, both Zhan Lan's galaxy universe and Linaya's divine realm are not just illusions of spiritual space, but actually descend on the real world.

The surrounding scenery is constantly changing with the spiritual struggle between the two. Sometimes the darkness of the starry sky rushes to the kingdom of God like a rolling mist, and sometimes the holy light of the sublime kingdom engulfs the starry sky like a bright sun, like a piece of drawing paper repeatedly smeared by the two of them, vying to dye it their own color.

It is no exaggeration to say that in this field, they are painters who splash ink with their brushes, gods who use words as their law, and they are the masters of both illusion and reality.

This is the battle between the Middle-earth team and the spiritual power controllers of the Celestial Gods. Just opposing each other erodes each other's mental universe.

If it is said that the battle between the first-level spiritual power controllers is to compete in the amount and skill of spiritual power, find each other's flaws, and initially turn their spiritual power into weapons, whoever has the strongest physical strength and energy can be superior.

Then the battle between the second-level spiritual power controllers gradually involves the competition between the "heart phase", who has a higher idea, who is stronger, who can be the first to break through the opponent's defense line in the spiritual world, break into the opponent's heart, and dig out the deepest secrets of the opponent's heart, you can achieve absolute victory in spirit and body.

The winner reigns and enjoys the glory of the victor; The loser becomes a slave and swallows the bitter fruit of failure. Whether it is a large amount hidden in the mind and memory, or the absolute control of one's own spirit, it will be reduced to the spoils of others.

So, what about the battle between the third-level psychic power controllers?

The answer is, "the Word."

The third-level spiritual power controllers all have a unique understanding and definition of their own minds and even the minds of all beings, and their past experiences, beliefs, and desires are no longer limited to the path of sublimation of themselves, but the competition between the advantages and disadvantages of the path.

This level has already vaguely touched the realm of the light of the mind, so when the spiritual power controller reaches the realm of the fourth order, he can touch that layer of boundaries and realize the magical resonance of mind and matter...... Not only are the mental landscapes that were once regarded as illusory in the depths of their hearts appearing in reality, but even reality has become a battlefield for their spiritual confrontation!

During this time, Zhan Lan learned the Wuyue Temple's "Yuan Ling Returning to the Heart Technique", this technique pays attention to "holding the Yuan Shouyi, the aura is self-generated, and the origin of all phases arises from the heart", Zhan Lan combined it with his original practice of "The Transformation of the Stars and Stars", just by contemplating and contemplating, the power of the mind can be transformed into life and aura, and it can also breathe out the external aura to feed the spirit.

Originally, she just wanted to optimize her physical body and energy circuit, which were originally weak, but as her cultivation deepened, she found that the mental universe and the outer universe were more and more closely connected, until she was able to project and manifest as she did now.

According to Xiuzhen, this is "the intersection of inside and outside, and the inside and outside are revealed", her spiritual world and the real world merge with each other, and her divine thoughts and aura merge into an enchantment.

Although Zhan Lan hadn't really unlocked the fourth-order genetic lock yet, her long-term cultivation in Rengominiade had made her touch the boundary between the third-order and the fourth-order in advance, and she had already stepped into the door of the fourth-order with half a foot, and she had already integrated everything she had learned into a more real "Heart Universe"——

It's called, "The Origin of the Stars Mantra Realm"!

"The Light of the Mind ...... Prototype"

Looking at Zhan Lan's mental universe that had already begun to interfere with reality, there was a faint surprise in Linaya's voice, and even if she tried her best to hide it, she still couldn't hide the shock.

She wondered how she could have been inextricably linked to Zhan Lan on the other side as a real fourth-order spiritual power controller, but it wasn't until this moment that Linaya finally had an answer, and everything became clear.

Although I don't know what kind of experience it was that allowed Zhan Lan to cultivate such a powerful "Heart Universe", just by slightly piercing her spiritual power into the other party's realm like a probe, Linaya could feel the momentum in Zhan Lan's spiritual power that was almost condensed into substance, just like the real universe as vast and vast......

"Do you know why our Celestials are so strong?"

It was not a momentary effort to complete the analysis of the essence of the Mind Universe, and it was not clear what kind of state of mind this galaxy universe represented by Zhan Lan, so Linaya frowned, and said indifferently: "The reason why we can assume the name of 'Heavenly God' is because each of us, with the help of the captain, has fused some kind of mythological concept and revealed some kind of path beyond human beings. ”

Linaya would not be so kind and reveal her secrets to Zhan Lan for no reason, but she was using words as a carrier to launch an offensive against Zhan Lan.

As long as Zhan Lan heard her words, it meant that the brain had received the information from her, and for the spiritual power controllers of this level, they could bury the spiritual attack in all the information they released.

A word, a look, a gesture, and even the body fragrance and heartbeat frequency on their bodies can become weapons for them to invade each other's spirits, implant psychic hints and malignant intelligence. The so-called kaleidoscope writing wheel eye illusion "moon reading" is just something that a strong person of this level can do at will.

But Zhan Lan did not close his brain because of this, but remained vigilant while listening intently. Because at the same time that Linaya was testing Zhan Lan's spiritual essence, Zhan Lan was also doing the same thing.

The noisy mental fluctuations that seemed to be formed by the convergence of countless people's prayers, confessions, calls, and shouts made it difficult for Zhan Lan to accurately locate Linaya's spiritual essence, just like it was difficult to hear a person's whispering in the busy city, so she had to seize the opportunity of Linaya's active communication to lock on the pattern that fluctuated for a while.

"Ying Long is a true cultivator, Song Tian is a seeker who has entered the Tao with martial arts, Liala is a dragon species whose physical body has evolved to the extreme, Elenst is a prototype human with an angelic soul, and Karan, who has died, has reached the extreme in 'purification'."

Linaya's expression was indifferent, and she deliberately did not mention the information about Adam, she said: "And I am paradoxical to Ying Long, I represent the magical path of believing in becoming a god, and this is the 'Kingdom of God' that evolved and was born on the basis of my mental universe after fusing the 'fruit of life' given to me by the captain." ”

The fruit of life, the kingdom of God.

It was as if a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, and when he heard these two words, Zhan Lan suddenly realized. But at the same time as she realized, a huge amount of information suddenly poured into her spirit like an uncontrollable flood!

Like a thunderbolt from the sky, Zhan Lan lost her mind for a moment, because these two words were the trap that Linaya had prepared, the Trojan horse and worm she had created!

"It's a pity that you lack the ability to understand the nuances, and you don't have as much experience as I do against other psychic power controllers."

Seeing that Zhan Lan's defense finally showed some flaws, Linaya showed a smile, rejoicing that she had "pulled back a game" for herself, and also rejoiced that she had taken the opportunity to crack the essence of Zhan Lan's heart: "That's it...... Your mind is 'transmitting' or 'connecting'. ”

- She wasn't wrong.

The core of Zhan Lan's heart universe is the power of "longing", which belongs to the power of "transmission", and the desire to pass on his thoughts, thoughts and words to someone.

Therefore, Zhan Lan was able to move the heavens and the earth with half the effort, drive the spirit of speech, and use the method that Zhang Jie had used once in the coming of death to transmit his will to the five spirit qi that made up this world, and even once had the upper hand in the battle.

"That's right."

Zhan Lan, who had recovered from a momentary trance, had no time to be discouraged, but admitted that there was a gap between herself and Linaya in the experience of "information attack".

In that case, let's avoid the shortcomings and make use of the strengths and carry out a more "real" attack!

With a palm-turning action, an earthy yellow bead was held in Zhan Lan's hand, which was the earthy spirit bead that Han Lingsha handed over to Yang Yun and was transferred to Zhan Lan by Yang Yun before the war. It was precisely because of the magical thing condensed by one of the five spirits of heaven and earth that she was able to make up for the realm gap with Linaya with half the effort!

- And in Zhan Lan's cultivation during this time, not only did she cultivate the Yuan Spirit Returning Technique of the Wuyue Temple, but she also made rapid progress in the "word technique" exchanged from the independent god, as well as the five spirit immortal techniques of the Immortal Sword World!

The theoretical basis of word art, also known as speech and spiritualism, lies in the animism that "everything is lodged by gods", and everything in heaven and earth is regarded as beings with themselves and can communicate with others.

Therefore, Zhan Lan did not rely on his own true yuan and formation to manipulate the five spiritual qi like the monks of this world, but conveyed his will through words, activating the potential spirituality in the aura from the Pangu Dao Explanation, and making it take the initiative to shape itself.

"Words, the stars sink and move!"

With Zhan Lan's shout, boundless earth spirit energy surged out from the earth spirit bead, spreading wantonly in the air, merging with the power of the earth spirit between heaven and earth. The countless astral light and earth spirit qi behind her combined with each other, turning into stars, rolling up a storm, and rapidly attacking the divine kingdom of Linaya on the opposite side!

In the face of Zhan Lan's attack, Linaya naturally did not dare to slack off. She waved her arms with a solemn expression, and the light of faith in the Kingdom of God suddenly rose, and the runes that turned into gold were arranged in arrays, releasing countless defensive techniques, which were combined together to form a dark purple hexagonal barrier that was tightly arranged like a beehive!

- The stars fall like rain, but they can't do anything.

Even though the rain of stars in the sky could engulf one, ten, or even hundreds of layers of barriers, as the layers of accumulated dark purple light continued to flicker, there were always new defensive barriers springing up like a tide, like an unfailing fortress, blocking Zhan Lan's offensive again and again.

Facing the dark purple barrier in front of her, Zhan Lan withdrew her slender hand, but her expression did not show the slightest frustration, but Linaya frowned: "You ......"

"The attack of information has always been a two-way street, as Nietzsche said: 'When you are staring into the abyss, the abyss is staring at you'."

Exhaling a breath, Zhan Lan smiled and said, "Good technique, I already know the nature of your heart...... Linaya Bernadotte 'Teacher'. ”

She deliberately bit the last two words very hard: "If my heart-to-heart path is 'transmission', then you are 'rejection'." ”

For the mental power controller who has mastered the subtle power, any information can be used as a means of attack, and the release of energy is naturally no exception.

The "teaching" was very successful, and each star that Zhan Lan projected at Linaya was also her spirit probe, and while colliding fiercely with Linaya's defenses, she also gained enough information from it.

Although Linaya used the power of faith to cast countless magical defense techniques, converging into a dark purple absolute defense, but combining the characteristics of "rejection" and the shape of that polygon, Zhan Lan would definitely not admit that the characteristics of the force field that had been repeatedly confirmed...... Linaya's spiritual light is the same as that of Liara and Ehrendst, and it is also a force field!

A third color of a different color, a dark purple force field! (End of chapter)
