Chapter 513
When JiHan entered the Wandering Martial God's mouth, white light exploded inside the serpent's body.
Again, the Wandering Martial God jumped through space.
‘I'm being dragged along as well.’
The teleport was also moving JiHan, who had entered the Wandering Martial God's immediate area.
'I figured the entire area around him was being moved. My intuition was right. Is this also because I inherited Dongfang’s martial talent?'
In the past, he would have struggled to grasp such subtle spatial distortions, but since Combined Origin Divine Arts evolved into the Ultimate Wandering Martial God Slayer, he felt that his senses had been greatly amplified.
It was to the point that he could discern that the White Administrator’s teleport was moving space as a whole, not just the Wandering Martial God himself.
Fwoosh—!
Annihilation surged from inside the moved serpent's mouth.
'I'll use the Golden Red Wheel of Fortune before dying.'
He decided to use a trump card and activated the dark Yin-Yang Demon Sword inside the serpent’s mouth.
Paaf—!
Dark light rose behind the giant serpent's head.
“KAAAK…!” The Wandering Martial God's scream echoed through the area, powerless against the Yin-Yang Demon Sword JiHan used with the intention of facing death.
Flash! Flash—!
Seeing JiHan using the Yin-Yang Demon Sword inside the serpent's head, the White Administrator tried different methods to move the Wandering Martial God separately.
"Where do you think you're going?" JiHan instinctively identified areas being teleported and threw himself in to make sure he was dragged along.
Realizing that the White Administrator's teleport could no longer separate JiHan, the serpent started to use a much stronger Annihilation from before within its mouth.
“Kuk… Krrrr…”
JiHan's had already taken lethal damage from Annihilation and regenerated countless times. If it touched him, further regeneration seemed difficult.
The most reasonable thing would be to escape from inside the serpent's mouth.
'It's time to use the card.' JiHan thought that, if he escaped, catching the Wandering Martial God would become harder, so he decided to use the Golden Red Wheel of Fortune.
Fwoosh—!
HIs entire body ablaze, and the final crack on his left cheek about to burst, void flooded in and clashed against Annihilation.
Swoosh—!
JiHan's body darkened, and he couldn’t move, but the purple void amplified infinitely and strengthened the Yin-Yang Demon Sword.
Still, to a third party, it would seem like he was making a desperate effort in his final moments.
'My consciousness is still here.'
Ignoring the pain throughout his body, JiHan thought of only one thing: he needed to complete the Yin-Yang Demon Sword as much as possible with the overflowing void.
Since he'd decided to use the Golden Red Wheel of Fortune, he would do things properly.
Paaf—!
Even though most of his physical body had disappeared, the Yin-Yang Demon Sword kept growing bigger, and the constellation equipment stuck in the serpent's body kept getting destroyed.
At that point, JiHan's attack was like a resolution that they should die together.
“G-grrr…” The serpent just kept spewing flames from his mouth, unable to do anything more.
Psss—
The constellation equipment stuck in the serpent's body disappeared in the Yin-Yang Demon Sword’s power, and the serpent's body continuously fragmented and regenerated.
Even JiHan’s left cheek was unable to overcome Annihilation and was about to disappear.
'Is this the limit?'
Although the Yin-Yang Demon Sword had enough void, he wasn't able to finish it inside the Wandering Martial God’s mouth. Was simply infusing power not enough?
Thus, just before JiHan vanished, a golden wheel appeared behind him.
The Golden Red Wheel of Fortune could return his body to the state and location it was in 24 hours prior.
'It cannot pierce through the curtain of light, but regeneration within its domain seems fully possible.'
JiHan decided to use one of his two remaining opportunities; the wheel spun backwards.
When the time was reversing, and his body was about to return to its original state…
'Ah.' JiHan's mind became exceedingly clear.
The Golden Red Wheel of Fortune forcibly implanted Ashoka's enlightenment, and when it properly activated, he assimilated to it, enabling him to see things broadly for a brief moment.
'So I just have to do it like this.'
He understood how to complete the Yin-Yang Demon Sword with a method possible only when he was using the Golden Red Wheel of Fortune.
'Let's do it.'
The infinitely amplifying Yin-Yang Demon Sword rapidly shrank as the void condensed within the sword and swirled.
“Grr…” the serpent let out a pained groan, feeling momentary relief when the sword piercing its throat vanished.
Swoosh—!
The Yin-Yang Demon Sword crumbled and gathered at one point, where it started to absorb everything around it. It didn’t just absorb the serpent, but it also started to absorb the wheel behind JiHan.
'At this rate, I'll be absorbed as well.'
Drrr—!
The Golden Red Wheel of Fortune spun faster, and JiHan disappeared.
Within the serpent, the white and black of the Yin-Yang Demon Sword separated to form a reverse-spinning Yin-Yang symbol that slowly moved in the original forward direction.
Swoosh—!
The serpent, slowly but surely, was sucked into the symbol.

"Is that… the completed form of the Yin-Yang Demon Sword…?" JiHan was revived on top of the split Fight Star and looked up.
Flash! Flash—!
The serpent was covered in light several times, but unlike before, when it could teleport easily, it didn’t move at all.
The Yin-Yang pattern the void's Yin-Yang Demon Sword had created completely captured the serpent's body.
'I created it, but I'm not sure how I did it.'
When he understood Ashoka's enlightenment for a brief moment through the Golden Red Wheel of Fortune, he was able to complete that one-point Yin-Yang instinctively.
To use it again, he would probably have to use the Golden Red Wheel of Fortune again.
'I hope it isn’t needed again.'
He only had one use left of the Golden Red Wheel of Fortune and didn't want to risk his life any further.
JiHan approached the serpent.
“D… Dongfang Shuo…! Until the end…!” The Wandering Martial God, having previously lost his reason, mentioned a name.
"Ah, Ashoka helped create it too."
“Ashoka… Th-that guy was the cause of all my problems…!” The Wandering Martial God struggled harder. The berserk state the Red Administrator had put him into was over; he was relatively lucid.
“If… if, back then, I had killed you in the Fight Star… Things wouldn't have turned out like this…!”
"That's true, but what's the point of regretting things? It's already too late."
“Ugh… I… I can't die like this… Not after how much I struggled to live—”
Before he could finish speaking, the Yin-Yang spun faster, completely swallowing the serpent's head. Only its rear body remained.
'Is he finally going to die?'
It would be best for JiHan to find a way out. He crossed his arms and looked at the veil of light.
“I… I can't die like this…!” Another head abruptly sprouted from the serpent’s body. Could he even do that?
"Ah… What an annoying bastard." JiHan looked at him in disbelief.
“Wh-why can't I separate?” The serpent's head, unable to leave the main body, panicked.
"If you could just leave like that, the White Administrator’s teleport would still be working. Ah, you weren't fully conscious, so I guess you don't remember it."
“The Yin-Yang has fully claimed me…?”
"Yes, so please die."
“Even if I begged for my life, I guess you wouldn’t want to save me.”
"Of course not. I also risked my life. On top of that, even if I wanted to, I have no way to do so." JiHan pointed at the Yin-Yang absorbing the serpent. "I don't know how to stop it."
“Ha…” The serpent head sighed and retreated back into its body. Was it because he realized there was no way to survive? The body fell into the Yin-Yang symbol even faster.
At that speed, the Wandering Martial God would disappear in less than 10 minutes.
'Yes. Just die and hand over the title of ‘Wandering Martial God’ to me.'
The title was of considerable significance to JiHan if he wanted to maximize the effect of the EX-rank skill, Ultimate Wandering Martial God Slayer.
JiHan waited for the completion of the Ultimate Wandering Martial God Slayer and watched the serpent's death.
Flash—!
A pure white light flashed behind him.
Clap, clap—
He heard applause.
"Well done, Blue Administrator. That beast was certainly strong as an administrator… To think you would subdue it so quickly…"
As soon as JiHan heard the voice, he turned around. There, he saw a large mouth and jaw.
'Who's this guy…?'
Underneath the jaw dangled two arms instead of a neck. That bizarre life form kept clapping at him.
"Do all administrators look strange? The Red one was only an eye, and the White one is just a floating mouth."
"I'm not the White Administrator. She's complete. There's no way I could be like her."
"Then who are you?"
"I'm…" The mouth stopped clapping, opened its lips, and showed the teeth. Each tooth gleamed white. "The last servant of the White."
"The last servant…"
"I'm also… her subconsciousness and instinct. To put it in a way humanity would understand, I guess you could think of me as her Id."
"Id?"
"Yes. You can address me as ‘Id’."
JiHan frowned. It said it was the White Administrator's subconscious, instinct, Id, so basically, wasn't it just the White Administrator?
"If you're the White Administrator's instinct, then that means you're ultimately her. Stop this wordplay."
"No. She's rational and great… She would never help a criminal like the Red Administrator."
It then pointed to its lip. "However, me, her 'instinct,' deviated from her noble intentions and made a small investment in him."
"So you're saying the Red Administrator's great patron wasn't the White Administrator but you? Are you saying the White is innocent?"
"Exactly." Id clapped again.
JiHan looked at him with sunken eyes. "So the White's using you to avoid being held responsible."
"That's not true. It's just that the Id deviated."
‘What a futile manipulation attempt.’ JiHan glared at him.
"Hasn't this deviation of mine helped you too?"
"What do you mean?"
"Your regression. Who do you think you owe it to, Martial Saint JiHan?"
Showing its shining white teeth again, it smiled.
