A sword hilt slowly emerged from the Raiden Shogun chest!
The Raiden Shogun closed her eyes slightly and grasped the hilt with one hand.
In an instant, she drew out the sword, its blade emitting a brilliant purple light, with Electro energy surging around the Raiden Shogun!
The Raiden Shogun held up the sword hilt, her gaze impassive as she looked at Lumine.
"I will inlay you into the statue."
The mature figure of the Raiden Shogun swung Musou Isshin.
The space behind her shattered like a mirror, threatening to devour Lumine like a black hole.
"This is bad."
Qiu Bai frowned, but the Musou no Hitotachi could only draw people in according to Ei will.
Even if he stood next to Lumine, he wouldn't be able to enter the Plain of Euthymia.
"Forget it, let's try."
Then in an instant, Qiu Bai appeared beside Lumine and was pulled into the Plain of Euthymia with her.
The three-tomoe stone ground beneath their feet instantly expanded into a massive circular stone platform!
Enormous torii gates slowly rose from all around!
In the distance, a figure sat cross-legged in the air.
Behind her was an immense red moon, with crimson energy constantly flowing into it from all directions.
Ei slowly opened her purple eyes.
Unlike the Raiden Shogun in the outside world, Ei eyes had a faint glow.
Combined with the beauty mark below her eye, she was extraordinarily beautiful.
One look at her made people feel she was a beautiful and gentle elder sister.
"I can actually enter here."
"But why is that possible?"
Qiu Bai looked at Ei sitting cross-legged in the air, thinking in surprise.
"You are..."
Ei looked at Qiu Bai in the distance, her pupils trembling slightly.
The sky of the Plain of Euthymia suddenly brightened for a moment, but quickly returned to its dim red state.
"Strange..."
"Why do I have this feeling..."
Ei touched the ground with her toes, looking at her own hands, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise.
"You give me a familiar feeling..."
Ei raised her head, looking at Qiu Bai in the distance, speaking slowly.
"A familiar feeling?"
"But I've never met you before."
Qiu Bai frowned upon hearing this, looking at Ei with surprise.
"I don't know..."
Ei shook her head somewhat naively.
"But you are an enemy of Eternity..."
As Ei finished speaking, Engulfing Lightning appeared in her hand.
The Wheel of Wishes-Omnipresent manifested behind her as she stared at Qiu Bai in the distance, frowning.
"Is that so?"
"Ei really does feel familiar with me, but why?"
Qiu Bai frowned, thinking in surprise.
"You are the one furthest from Eternity, and I find that interesting."
Ei gaze turned toward Lumine, speaking slowly.
"System, scan the Electro Archon."
Qiu Bai spoke to the system in his mind.
[Ding!]
[Name: Baal/Beelzebul]
[Identity: One of The Seven, Electro Archon, Raiden Ei, Beelzebul, Her Excellency the Almighty Narukami Ogosho, God of Thunder, Shogunate Grand General, Raiden Shogun]
[Divine Power Level: Peak Upper-rank Archon]
[Comprehensive Strength: Half-step to Top-rank Archon]
"Quite strong."
"System, what is my current comprehensive strength?"
Qiu Bai crossed his arms over his chest, slowly asking the system in his mind.
[Responding to host, with your mastery of laws.]
[And the continuously increasing strength from the Yin-Yang Complementation, host has already reached Mid-level Top-rank Archon.]
The mechanical voice of the system echoed in Qiu Bai mind.
[System mission.]
[Achieve a 40-60 split against the Electro Archon!]
[Reward: Double divine power!]
The system voice rang in Qiu Bai mind.
"40-60 split?"
"What kind of fighting style is a 40-60 split?"
Qiu Bai mouth twitched upon hearing this, feeling somewhat speechless.
But for the sake of double divine power, he decided to play along.
Qiu Bai watched as Ei approached with her weapon, and a Chaos Sword appeared in his hand.
Ink-white divine power surged around him.
"Lumine, you're not her match."
"Let me handle this."
Qiu Bai eyes emitted a faint light as he smiled at Lumine beside him.
Then he bestowed an ink-white shield composed of divine power upon Lumine.
Lumine nodded and retreated to the edge.
Qiu Bai slowly turned his head, holding his long sword with ink-white divine power surging around him, walking step by step toward Ei.
"Uh..."
Ei pupils trembled as she saw Qiu Bai approaching with his sword.
As he walked toward her step by step, the Engulfing Lightning in her hand actually trembled slightly.
"I..."
Ei pupils contracted as she looked at Qiu Bai approaching her with hostility, her heart trembling.
At this moment, the Plain of Euthymia instantly regained its brightness, completely different from the dimness before.
"Hmm?"
Qiu Bai looked at the brightened Plain of Euthymia, feeling somewhat confused.
Lumine also curiously observed the sky, not understanding why it was alternating between brightness and darkness.
"Who exactly is he, why do I have this feeling?"
"No... I am the guardian of Eternity."
The trembling in Ei heart stopped, and the Plain of Euthymia returned to its dim sky.
"Illuminated by lightning."
"Land of Eternity!"
Ei held Engulfing Lightning and charged toward Qiu Bai.
Ei transformed into a bolt of lightning, moving at extreme speed, instantly appearing before Qiu Bai!
She twirled Engulfing Lightning once, then brought it down in a slash!
Qiu Bai frowned slightly, immediately drawing the Chaos Sword to block!
Clang!
A wave of ink-white divine power mixed with purple divine power, creating a massive shockwave that spread throughout the Plain of Euthymia!
Sizzle~!
Sparks erupted from the weapons of Qiu Bai and Ei!
Ei purple pupils emitted a faint light as she stared at Qiu Bai face.
Qiu Bai likewise stared at Ei face, his eyes glowing slightly.
Incomparable divine power dispersed from the collision between them!
"You are a god?"
Ei looked at the divine power surging around Qiu Bai, asking in surprise.
"Your Eternity is not correct."
"Raiden Ei."
Qiu Bai looked at Ei face through the two streams of divine power and sparks, speaking calmly.
"No matter who you are."
"Anyone who threatens Eternity is my enemy."
Ei swung Engulfing Lightning, sending Qiu Bai flying back.
Qiu Bai twirled the Chaos Sword and stabbed it into the ground, sliding backward several meters before coming to a stop.
"Even if I win like this,"
"It won't change her view on Eternity..."
Qiu Bai looked at Ei before him, frowning as he murmured.
As he was thinking, Ei had already charged over!
Qiu Bai did a somersault, avoiding Ei attack.
Then his toes touched the ground, and he transformed into a streak of ink-white light, charging toward Ei.
The two deities, one a streak of purple light and one a streak of ink-white light, continuously collided within the Plain of Euthymia!
Finally, Ei sword pierced through Qiu Bai stomach!
"Why, why didn't you dodge?"
Ei looked at Engulfing Lightning in her hand that had pierced through Qiu Bai, speaking at a loss.
"No..."
"I didn't mean to."
Ei stepped back, looking at the glaring bloodstain on the ground, trembling as she spoke.
For some reason, although she didn't recognize Qiu Bai before her, she didn't want to harm him.
Qiu Bai spat out a mouthful of blood, kneeling on one knee, with the Chaos Sword stabbed into the ground.
One hand clutched his chest, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, his vision blurry as he looked at Engulfing Lightning that had pierced his body.
