After absorbing that massive surge of energy, Sebastian Xiao felt as if a pair of wings had sprouted from his back—his body lighter and freer than ever before.
His legs were a blur, moving as fast as flight itself, overflowing with inexhaustible power. The world in front of him seemed to slow to half-speed, every frame crystal-clear.
Meanwhile, Other Xiao kept spinning in place in sheer panic, desperately trying to track Sebastian Xiao's movements, terrified of being attacked from behind. The fear was so intense he didn't even dare blink.
But Sebastian Xiao's stamina seemed endless. The sharp dryness in Other Xiao's eyes finally forced him to blink—and in that 0.1 second,
the moment he opened his eyes, Sebastian Xiao's sword-finger was already aimed at his waist again.
It's over… the other me!
Sebastian Xiao had compressed the energy he'd absorbed earlier into that single sword-finger strike.
The amount of energy packed into it was equivalent to a 100-kilogram TNT explosion, enough to destroy a building. Xiao didn't believe the flesh and blood of Tatami Xiao could possibly withstand it.
But just as the attack was about to connect, his sword-finger suddenly stalled—unable to move forward, unable to even touch his opponent.
"Ha~ I'm done playing with you. Just you wait!"
Tama Xiao sneered, glaring at him with bitter resentment. The next moment, he vanished—leaving behind only a pale-blue spatial wormhole in the Da Luo Arena.
"???"
"It isn't the King's Treasury anymore—this thing can actually teleport? And even grants invincibility frames? Are you serious? What kind of shameless Goldfinger is this?! Who designed this cheat?!"
Xiao glared in jealous outrage for a few seconds. Then he looked up at the Da Luo fragment above his head—his fragment—and couldn't stop himself from cursing.
Da Luo Fragment:Are you polite?
Standing before the wormhole, Sebastian Xiao hesitated. He knew this was the pursuit route created by the Da Luo fragment.
But this was also his own golden finger—and god knows how long Other Xiao had spent constructing his territory inside. Charging in blindly felt like walking straight into a trap.
If Other Me Xiao was waiting inside to "catch the turtle in the jar," all he had to do was let Sebastian enter, shut the door, and that would be it—Sebastian would starve inside the sealed world.
But before he could think further, Sebastian felt a sudden shove from behind—kicking him straight into the wormhole, throwing him into Other Me Xiao's inner world.
[There is no place to hide in the Da Luo Arena]
A new line of information appeared in Sebastian Xiao's mind, instantly reassuring him that he couldn't be imprisoned.
"I feel much better now."
As soon as Sebastian entered the small world, he saw Other Xiao collapsed on the ground, looking like a survivor of some great calamity.
"How did you…?"
Other Me Xiao stared at him in disbelief. This miniature world was supposed to be his exclusive golden finger—bound to his very soul.
No one had ever been able to enter without his permission. Even if a spatial gate was opened in front of others, they could neither see it nor touch it, let alone pass through.
But Sebastian Xiao didn't bother answering. He stepped forward immediately, pressing his raised sword-finger to Alta Xiao's forehead, unleashing the gathered energy.
The crimson light didn't even make a sound—it simply bloomed like ignited gasoline, engulfing Tawo Xiao instantly.
Once compressed, explosive energy was no longer just a blast—it became a triple-layered qualitative attack of raw explosion, impact force, and scorching heat.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~~~~!"
The flames twisted like a fiery python, coiling around Tame Xiao's body as his agonized scream echoed through the small world.
The entire miniature world trembled violently. The ground churned, and the already damaged landscape grew even more desolate as vast swathes of its animals and plants withered away and died.
"You weren't instantly turned into ashes? You're that strong?"
Xiao's eyes widened. From that brief contact just now, he could tell that Other Xiao's physical fitness was actually very low—only two or three times that of a normal adult man.
But that finger strike carried the force of a 100-kilogram TNT explosion. It was enough to shatter a building and instantly turn any carbon-based creature into dust.
Yet when it hit Two·Xiao, the guy not only survived—he even screamed with impressive enthusiasm.
Even more bizarrely, Sebastian Xiao noticed that although Tater Shaw wailed miserably, the explosive energy radiating from his body was rapidly weakening.
"Sharing the damage with the small world? Seriously? Look at this guy… everyone else is staring at you like u0026#u0026%@u0026@#…"
Sebastian Xiao originally thought he was strong enough. But Tama Xiao's golden finger was so ridiculously overpowered that he couldn't help feeling sour. He lifted his head and cursed at the Da Luo fragment above him again.
He was the miserable one here. Even after transmigrating and becoming a child, his Da Luo fragment didn't help him at all.
Meanwhile, the other guy was an adult, surrounded by beauties, enjoying nightingale songs every evening, and had an entire small world to himself.
A real small world with its own fully formed laws. How could the gap be this ridiculous?
"But you sure have a smooth tongue!"
Sebastian Xiao dashed forward and wrapped his arms around He I·Xiao's head. He refused to believe the man could keep living if his head was removed.
Swoosh—
A sharp sound sliced through the air. He I·Xiao instantly slipped out of Sebastian Xiao's grip and reappeared at the far end of the small world as if he'd teleported. Even the flames on his body had gone out.
Despite being burned into a charcoal-black, bloody mess, he was still stubbornly alive—and the charred flesh was even healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Damn it, he can teleport and heal? Mine. I want all of that!!"
Sebastian Xiao was almost crying from jealousy—yet he still couldn't finish the guy off quickly.
A sense of urgency clenched inside his chest.
He didn't know exactly what He I·Xiao was planning, but it was obvious he was stalling for time. He must have some kind of trump card that could overturn everything.
We have to end this fast!
Setting a small goal for himself, Sebastian Xiao resumed the chase at full speed.
Even though Other Xiao's small world seemed nearly omnipotent, at least its size wasn't large. It was about an acre—roughly 600 square meters—with a diameter of just over 30 meters. Basically the size of a backyard lawn.
With Sebastian Xiao's movement speed, it was practically equivalent to teleportation.
