One sword cleaves the Blood Moon!

The Extreme Master of Blood Moon, who brought the mountains of corpses and seas of blood to the extreme, and used the power of his descending form to wield six-wing combat strength, was defeated. He lost cleanly and decisively, with the World Secret Domain, Eternal Wonder, and Six-Winged Realm all failing to play their roles, unable even to buy one second of respite!

The situation completely reversed; the hunter became the prey!

There are still two swords of the Mage Buster left, and two descending Divine Lords!

The Mirror Demon grasped the sword’s hilt, and the sword body displayed molten iron-like patterns. As the blade roared into existence, scorching raven-blue flowed along the patterns like candle tears, and the sound of the blade and scabbard scraping was extremely piercing, deeply wounding the Divine Lords’ dignity.

He remained expressionless, as if defeating the Blood Moon was a trivial matter. He cast a nonchalant glance at the Imaginary Music Master, akin to a priest’s final glimpse before closing the coffin lid. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

No words were needed, as the arrogance in the Mirror Demon’s bones was like a banner flying in the battlefield’s center, brazenly fluttering before the two Divine Lords.

Rather than being a hunter, he was more of a host... a host presiding over a funeral!

"The second sword," the Mirror Demon said, "Imaginary Buster."

The Imaginary Music Master hesitated not at all, as divine power coursed through his feet, enveloping boundless winds and petals that assaulted the Mirror Demon in a flurry of snowflakes! Though somewhat of a meddler, always prattling about benevolence and morality while colluding with everyone else, this Divine Lord revealed his ferocious side as a Six-winged Mage at this moment!

Even when faced with a blade that could slay the Blood Moon, he had no intention of evading or defending. Perhaps the title of the Imaginary Music Master blurred too much history, but he was the youngest and last Divine Lord of modern times... standing firm in Heaven against the combined siege of the five Divine Lords: Blood Moon, Dazzling Star, Abyss, All-knowing, and Senluo, earning recognition through battles!

Even without the Heavenly Kingdom, Secret Realm, or Divine Being, the six Divine Lords were still the strongest six Combat Mages of modern times! Or rather, only the strongest six Combat Mages could ascend to control the divine power of Heaven!

The combat instinct engraved in the souls of the Divine Lords was to seek vulnerabilities and reverse desperate situations! Don’t forget, their lives were epics composed of countless miracles!

Moreover, the Imaginary Music Master had already deciphered the "Mage Buster" operating principle, fully understanding why it rendered the Extreme Master of Blood Moon defenseless. Rather than interpreting it as swordsmanship portraying truth, it was better described as ’poison.’

A perfect poison of the blade to counter the enemy.

Incorporating all enemy information into calculations, undermining all abilities—for this reason, the Mirror Demon claimed to ’forge swords for you,’ because it was indeed a sword that only worked on them. The Blood Moon Buster was ineffective on others, but if it cut the Extreme Master of Blood Moon, the Holy Domain would crumble, the Blood Sea would shatter, maggots would decay, and soul bodies would perish, unflashable and unblockable.

One could even say that this is the only wonder guaranteed to be lethal upon proper activation without any chance of survival!

And its greatest weakness lies in that "proper activation!"

At the moment of his surprise attack, the Imaginary Music Master dismantled other ordinary wonders in his Magic Temple, haphazardly combining various miracles to enhance himself. The Mirror Demon’s prior engagement with them certainly aimed to grasp their specific information to forge a Magic Buster against them, so the Imaginary Music Master merely had to change his soul body parameters, and the ’Imaginary Buster’ the Mirror Demon just forged would naturally become useless scrap!

The force of "Magic Buster" was so devastating that even the World Secret Domain and Eternal Wonder could not resist, ensuring its activation conditions were extremely strict. A single shift in soul body parameters was sufficient to render it entirely ineffective!

Relying solely on a singular wonder to defeat all Divine Lords was exceedingly naive—

Zheng.

A streak of Sword Light sliced through the Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon, and cut across the Imaginary Music Master’s arms and chest, slicing as smoothly as a hot knife through butter, or a scythe through chives. The poison of the ’Imaginary Buster’ instantaneously dissolved everything about him, rendering all his machinations and responses meaningless, instead presenting himself like a lamb on a chopping board.

But the Imaginary Music Master showed no anger, only deep perplexity: he had clearly changed his parameters, so why was the "Mage Buster" still effective? Could this singular wonder exceed their understanding, remaining unstoppable even with parameter changes?

However, his confusion was quickly dispelled—he noticed the Mirror Demon’s wielded "Imaginary Buster" looking slightly different in appearance and color, no longer flowing with the raven-blue candle tears, but rather entwined with a breeze reminiscent of the Blue Bird.

So that’s it, the Imaginary Music Master understood, he was adjusting the parameters of his soul body, but the opponent was also adjusting the ratio of the sword’s poison. It sounds simple, but it’s unbelievable just to think about it—just now, every second, the Imaginary Music Master was combining different miracles to enhance himself, making eighteen fine-tunings of his soul body attributes per second. Even he couldn’t determine his own specific parameters, yet the opponent could still adjust the poison ratio accordingly?

The Imaginary Music Master suddenly had an epiphany: the unique wonder "Sorcerer Nemesis" can’t really defeat the Divine Lord, the true defeat of the Divine Lord comes from the monster holding the Sorcerer Nemesis.

Even without the "Sorcerer Nemesis," they would still be defeated because they chose an opponent that they couldn’t defeat on earth... It’s funny to say, they obviously couldn’t deal with the Supreme Star, so they descended to deal with the soft target. But now it seems, who exactly is the soft target?

The Imaginary Music Master turned into a stream of light and dissipated, Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon no longer interfered with the world, quietly enveloping the newly appeared Magic Temple on the earth.

The Imaginary Music Master returned to heaven, and the Demon Hunter Angel fell on the spot!

The Skydream Nemesis in the hands of the Mirror Demon also dissipated. When he touched the final sword hilt, the All-knowing Weaver unhesitatingly launched boundless sound waves, making the whole world blurry and chaotic, then the Sky Garden emitted a rumbling roar, tearing the Heavenly Curtain apart and escaping away!

She’s running away!

As the most cunning and wise Divine Lord, in the mysterious three factions, only the Fate Faction always remained elusive to the All-knowing Weaver. People only knew that her Prophetic Faction was unparalleled in the Void Realm, but they didn’t know that her Truth Faction was also among the best, so only she could see the true absurdity of the Mirror Demon.

The Extreme Master of Blood Moon and the Imaginary Music Master both could see that the Mirror Demon needed to gather their information to forge the Magic Buster, but the problem is—besides Divine Beings, Wonders, and Secret Realms, the Mirror Demon also needed to account for their magic realm!

More accurately, the Mirror Demon’s magic realm must surpass all of their magic realms to forge a Magic Buster that completely restrains them! If the Mirror Demon’s Blood Magic didn’t reach the level of the Six-winged, how could he forge a Magic Buster capable of making the Extreme Master of Blood Moon collapse at a touch?

The "Magic Buster" is a unique wonder, not an assassin’s treacherous path of ’collecting enemy information and then targeting weaknesses.’ On the contrary, it is an extremely domineering and grand technique—it amplifies the caster’s realm advantage, and only those confident that their magic realm surpasses all Mages, and are masters of all knowledge in the Void Realm, can wield this wonder to forge a fatal sword for every enemy!

If it’s shocking enough that the Mirror Demon can wield the "Magic Buster," then the fact that just now his ’Skydream Nemesis’ could change in response to the Imaginary Music Master’s parameter changes is a domain that even the All-knowing Weaver cannot comprehend—just now, the Imaginary Music Master was burning his split consciousness, adjusting his soul body with Six-winged thinking speed!

Thinking speed is a rarely mentioned but well-known crucial quality among all Mages. Why do Silver Mages often have to use Technique Spirits, and only start learning Miracle Techniques when they become Golden Mages? Because the thinking speed of a Silver Mage is too slow to simultaneously control multiple Technique Spirit combinations for miracles, in short, it’s the ability of ’multi-tasking.’

Unless one delves into the Spirit Faction or the Soul Faction, Mages must climb the Void Realm for their thinking speed to gradually improve. In fact, the concept of "Wonders" is the result of Demigods being unable to break through thinking speed and choosing to accumulate time advantages. If the thinking speed was sufficient, a Mage constructing hundreds of Technique Spirits to form a large-scale miracle in an instant would itself be a wonder.

The disparity in thinking speed between the Six-winged and the Five-winged is greater than the disparity between the Five-winged and mortals. This is why when the All-knowing Weaver and others exert their full strength, Sonia and others would be knocked down—in the thinking speed of the Six-winged, Sonia and others are as slow as caterpillars crawling on the ground.

Just now, the Mirror Demon could effortlessly navigate the Magic Storm with just two divine swords, which is enough to indicate that his thinking speed is also at the Six-winged level. Now, while the Imaginary Music Master is burning his split mind to adjust his soul body, he can not only keep up but also synchronously adjust the Magic Buster to dismantle it...

Someone playing rock-paper-scissors, and someone who sees what you play and then synchronizes to play the counter-move, are their thinking speeds on the same level?

The All-knowing Weaver couldn’t do it herself, nor could any Six-winged God!

The "Magic Buster" is such a powerful unique wonder, yet it can’t even arouse the covetousness of the All-knowing Weaver—this wonder would only turn into a pile of scrap metal in her hands. No, other than the monster in front of her disguised as Ash, there’s absolutely no one in this world who can wield the Magic Buster!

At this moment, this monster disguised as Ash looked even more terrifying in the eyes of the All-knowing Weaver than the Supreme Star!

The Mirror Demon grasped the sword hilt tightly, and molten gold lines appeared on the sword body, spreading like a spider web across the blade. He lifted his brow, and the endless sound waves blurred his vision, making it impossible even to see the shadow of the All-knowing Weaver.

"The third sword," he introduced to himself: "Omniscient Nemesis."

An ink-colored sword trace ripped through the sound waves, merging the "Heart Hunting Sovereignty" and "Omniscient Nemesis" into one, with spider web-like sword traces spreading like rays, swiftly filling the Four World Secret Domains. Sonia and others looked dazedly as the ink trace of the Omniscient Nemesis passed through their soul bodies, but it did not cause them any harm. However, for the All-knowing Weaver, who hadn’t been able to escape the Secret Domain’s seal, touching the web meant soul destruction and death!

Now Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon and the Bloody Sea had stopped the seal, but the battlefield veil of the Ancient Battlefield still covered this area—the All-knowing Weaver began to regret not directly exterminating Sonia earlier!

There’s no other way, the All-knowing Weaver took a deep breath, letting the true body in Heaven activate the Eternal Wonder within the "Black Curtain!"
