Chapter 58: The Final Secret, Section 7

A fierce momentum, attacks like a storm. This was what Black Hair was displaying at that moment. If he had been nothing but a gathering cloud of energy earlier, now he was the embodiment of a storm.

After punching the Moor Emperor hard into the ground, Black Hair didn’t even give him a chance to catch his breath. In fact, he was so eager to pursue that he stayed right where the Moor Emperor had stood, raising his hands.

“Yazi!!”
“Boom!!”

With a fierce shout from Black Hair, intense white light burst from his hands. Countless three-meter-long energy spears appeared around him as if out of thin air, multiplying like living things. In just an instant, they covered an area of hundreds of meters, resembling a white barrier from afar.

Then, Black Hair pressed down with his hands.

“Die!!”
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”

In an instant, the spears flew like bullets, blasting toward the Moor Emperor’s location. Their power was so great that each spear lifted huge chunks of land into the air, filling the sky with dust. Below Black Hair, clouds of smoke rolled, obscuring everything.

Yet this didn’t stop Black Hair. While the naked eye couldn’t see anything, he had Yazi’s holographic vision. Through Yazi’s visor, the scene below was clearly visible, untouched by the smoke.

That’s why Black Hair could tell that the Moor Emperor hadn’t been injured by his earlier attack.

Thousands of energy spears, each with the force of hundreds of tons of TNT, bombarded the ground below as if meteors had struck. Though the surface was devastated, the golden figure at the center of the explosion remained in its original position. Hundreds of meters underground, its hands were also raised, emitting visible yellow light.

Black Hair didn’t know what that color of light meant, but he knew that with its appearance, the soil beneath had become significantly harder. Originally, a single spear could dig nearly ten meters deep, but now it couldn’t even penetrate a few millimeters. The yellow desert had turned as hard as steel!!

This… Black Hair immediately recalled Red Beauty’s warning in his mind.

“That’s the telekinetic armor completed by the Emperor Moor a hundred years ago. With this armor, he can amplify his telekinetic power hundreds of times and freely control the forces of fire and ice like the mages in legends. So, never get too close.”
Fire and ice? Then this yellow light must be Earth, right?
Earth refers to soil. The Emperor Moor is manipulating the energy in the soil to create a protective layer to defend against the assault of his own light.
His thoughts raced, and in an instant, Black Hair understood the Emperor Moor’s intention. Yet he didn’t stop moving. The white light from his hands grew stronger, and the range of the energy spears rapidly expanded to several kilometers.
Hmph, since you want to use hardened soil to defend against my energy spears, go ahead and try. I’ll show you that Ya Zi’s power isn’t just ordinary energy spears.
With this thought, Black Hair’s attack changed again. Instead of firing the energy spears immediately after creation, they began spinning at high speed. Amidst a shrill whining sound, the white energy spears transformed, becoming as transparent as crystal.
The energy solidified—and exploded as it transformed…
Piercing attribute spears!!
“Tch!!”
The sound of the spears cutting through the air changed drastically. It was no longer the explosive roar before, but rather a series of sounds like those of a rattlesnake. Yet Black Hair clearly saw that the Emperor Moor, hearing this sound, was no longer as relaxed as before.
The hardened soil he had reinforced himself suddenly had twenty meters pierced through in an instant. Now, the hardened layer still in front of him was only ten meters thick.
Ten meters of soil—just one more attack would suffice. In Black Hair’s mind, he could already imagine the Emperor Moor being pierced by countless spears, a cold smirk appearing on his lips. But he never expected that at this very moment…
Something unexpected happened!!
In Ya Zi’s holographic vision, he clearly saw the light in the Emperor Moor’s hand suddenly turn red. His posture also changed from raising his hands high to pointing a sword at him.
No good!!

His expression changed instantly, before Black Hair could react. With a loud “boom!” the land beneath his feet, spanning thousands of square meters, exploded at once. A fire column with a diameter of a hundred meters burst forth from the ground, rushing straight toward him with the light spears. Wherever the fire column passed, the light spears disintegrated into piles of ash. While Black Hair was still stunned, the fire column had already reached him and swallowed him whole. An unprecedented heat instantly filled his surroundings, accompanied by the deafening alarm sounds of Ya Zi.

Damn it!! Why fire?!!

Pained by severe headaches, Black Hair almost crushed his steel teeth. He had lost this round so unjustly. To penetrate the Emperor of Moore’s hardened soil, he had just transformed the light spears into penetration-type weapons. Although such weapons were indestructible, their greatest weakness was fire—because those light spears were constructed based on diamond!

As is well known, diamonds are incomparably hard. Yet their structure is extremely similar to that of carbon. Thus, when exposed to the Emperor of Moore’s flames, they couldn’t withstand them, and disintegrating into ash was already the best outcome.

But this didn’t mean the Emperor of Moore would stop there. The approaching fire column made it clear—he was determined to kill Black Hair in one strike!!

Even without Ya Zi’s detection, Black Hair could sense the scorching temperature of at least ten thousand degrees from the fiery column. This temperature was almost the same as when he had been exposed to it inside the permanent crystal. Even Ya Zi’s strongest native power armor couldn’t endure such heat for long.

So, in the next moment, Black Hair changed his tactics. With a fierce bite from his silver teeth and a twist of his waist, he managed to evade the force of the fire column in a highly bizarre manner, only being grazed by its residual heat. At the same time, Ya Zi unleashed his full flying ability, propelling him forward like a rocket.

Terrifying…

Ya Zi’s flying speed could only be described in that word. In just an instant, Black Hair had traveled a distance of five kilometers. As he flew low over the ground, the intense wind pressure lifted the soil completely, making it look as though the land had been plowed apart—yet strangely, no sound was made.

Just as Black Hair took off, a huge gap suddenly opened up in the ground where the Emperor of Moore had fallen. The emperor’s golden armor slowly rose from it. Watching Black Hair vanish five kilometers away in an instant, he laughed maniacally.

“Hahaha, didn’t expect that, right? Black Hair, though your illusion deceived me, it was still nothing but a trick. In the face of my flames, everything is just a joke. I’m sure the beauty has already told you not to fight me up close. But looking at your weak attacks just now, how can you defeat me without getting close?”
His arrogant laughter revealed the Moor Emperor’s pride. Indeed, with flames as hot as the sun, he had every reason to be proud. Moreover, his mind-controlled mecha possessed far more than just those abilities. In fact, aside from flames, he also wielded the power of earth, sky, and lightning. Coupled with the unparalleled defensive strength of his golden armor, he was already in a decisive advantage. Watching the man he had always feared flee in front of him was beyond satisfying—how could such joy be described in words?
For a moment, the Moor Emperor’s triumphant laughter filled the air, echoing like thunder.
Yet he was still just an emperor, not an experienced warrior. Of course, he couldn’t possibly understand that in a duel between masters, probing is often the true purpose of the first strike. Being so proud after merely repelling Black Hair once was perhaps a bit premature.
Sure enough, the next moment, that beam that tore through the earth returned.
Still at terrifying speed, still unbearably powerful. In just an instant, Black Hair reappeared before the Moor Emperor. As the emperor laughed maniacally, Black Hair grabbed his face. At the same time, Black Hair’s fierce shout rang out.
“Yazi, solidify the energy!”
A brilliant light appeared again, but this time its target wasn’t to create a spear of light—it was the ground thousands of meters beneath Black Hair. Within the light, the soil transformed into crystallized energy!!
“You can control soil, right? You can control flames, right?” From behind Yazi’s monstrous mask, Black Hair’s voice sounded cruel.
“Then I’ll turn the ground into diamond. I want to see what else you can use this time!”
“No!!”
His arrogant laughter stopped abruptly, replaced by the Moor Emperor’s screams. As he cried out in agony, Black Hair pressed down on his head and pulled him downward. Their armor scraped against each other at terrifying speeds, causing the air to burn—from afar, it looked like a falling meteor.

“Pretty nice meteor…” A beautiful woman murmured with a smile inside a crystal sphere in the distance. There was a hint of sadness in her eyes. If anyone were here, they would notice that the wounds on her body, which had been gradually healing due to the energy of hatred, had split open again, with blood flowing out—clearly affected by the shock from the battle between the two. The blood flowed slowly, but it kept flowing nonetheless. Gradually, the bottom of the crystal sphere began to turn red… Just then, with a loud roar, a huge mushroom cloud suddenly appeared on the horizon in the distance. Since the start of the battle, the Moorish emperor had finally taken a serious hit from the black-haired warrior!!
