# Chapter 2542: A Hundred Curves, A Thousand Blades! The Prelude of Life's Withering
A four-dimensional golden body, indestructible through all methods; a two-dimensional armor, impossible to touch!
In this form, any attack that touched Jiangnan's two-dimensional armor would be instantly spread out, absorbed, and devoured, then begin to expand!
Not only could they not kill Jiangnan, but the attacker would even find themselves in a difficult position due to the expanding two-dimensional plane!
Defense itself was counterattack!
Like an undefeated sovereign standing beneath the starry sky!
"I stand right here—how can you harm even a single hair of mine?"
Chong Feiyu's face flushed red with excitement:
(งᵒ̌ヮᵒ̌)ง "Heavens! The two-dimensional armor can be used like this? I can't even imagine what method would be needed to defeat Jiangnan now!"
It wasn't just Chong Feiyu. Even the Star-Swallowers on the Sequence Throne wore unnatural expressions!
When had Jiangnan gotten even stronger?
Had he mastered Dimensional Reduction Strike to perfection?
Black God stood with his hands behind his back, watching Jiangnan with sheer excitement!
Clearly, after forming his new combat system, Jiangnan's strength had evolved once again!
The posture of invincibility had already begun to show—and his boldness was incredible!
Indeed! A good opponent was the greatest catalyst on the path of growth!
At this moment, even Innocent's eyes showed a flicker of wariness!
"Using two-dimensional armor to counter my four-dimensional body? Indeed! In that case, it will be very difficult for my attacks to affect you!"
"But you're also playing with fire! If I'm not mistaken, you're using gravitational armor to block the two-dimensional armor from expanding inward!"
"Once I cut through that gravitational armor, you'd be dead! This is a double-edged sword!"
Jiangnan smiled instead after hearing this. "But... this double-edged sword is in my hands! I dare to play with black holes—why wouldn't I dare with two-dimensional armor?"
"Cut through the gravitational armor? Do you think I'll give you that chance?"
As he spoke, Jiangnan raised the two-dimensional blade high, a ferocious gravitational field bursting forth!
Behind him, the enormous two-dimensional flower was shattered, transforming into billions of two-dimensional blades!
Under the control of gravity, the blade edges turned direction, aiming straight at Innocent!
In that moment, Innocent, targeted by those blades, felt a strong sense of foreboding!
Could he be trying to...
Jiangnan slashed down wildly with the two-dimensional blade!
"Blade like me—cut through all impurities!"
"A hundred curves, a thousand blades—CHOP!!!"
Instantly, above the shattered ocean of billions of two-dimensional blades, the space on every single blade twisted!
They vanished instantly, then shot toward Innocent's location at maximum warp speed!
With Jiangnan's own spiritual energy, he simply couldn't release that many warp bubbles to wrap the blades. But by integrating space, borrowing its power to take shape wasn't very difficult—and the consumption was minimal!
And so, the utterly monstrous Hundred Curves, Thousand Blades was born!
Innocent: !!!
The ocean of two-dimensional blades struck instantly with extreme speed—blades that covered the sky and earth!
Looking out, they filled the stars and fields, the released edge seeming ready to shatter Innocent to pieces. A thick sense of suffocation rushed over him!
Innocent had no choice but to dodge through dimensional leap!
But the moment he appeared, the billion-strong blade sea teleported entirely!
For Jiangnan, who had merged with space, it was merely a mass spatial shift—not impossible to do!
"Shwoosh!"
Innocent's four-dimensional body was finally cut by Jiangnan. One blade sliced in, and the two-dimensional blade expanded like mad!
One cut was just the beginning; what followed were thousands and tens of thousands of slashes!
Two-dimensional planes bloomed one after another from Innocent's body, like enormous butterfly wings unfolding!
Countless blades swirled around him, the scene breathtakingly beautiful yet filled with deadly danger!
These expanding two-dimensional fragments would then shatter into countless two-dimensional blades, joining again in the ranks slashing at Innocent!
A single two-dimensional blade, without energy injection, could only exist for ten seconds before disappearing!
But that was enough for Jiangnan. As long as he cut Innocent, the expanding two-dimensional plane could shatter into new two-dimensional blades!
The quantity depended on how large the expanded two-dimensional plane was!
The blade sea of Hundred Curves, Thousand Blades cycled between constant disappearance and rebirth; instead of decreasing, the quantity actually grew!
Innocent had even become the energy source for Hundred Curves, Thousand Blades to continue!
Innocent's four-dimensional body was continuously struck, butterfly-wing-like two-dimensional planes blooming wildly from within him!
Again and again!
Even the light emitted by his four-dimensional body began to flicker and dim unstably!
The energy supplied from the fourth dimension could barely keep up with the rate of energy being devoured!
Innocent gritted his teeth tightly. If this continued, Jiangnan might really reach the limit threshold and break his four-dimensional body!
Dodge and still be cut; don't dodge and still be cut!
So why dodge?
The best defense had always been offense!
"Jiang! Nan! Take this blade!"
"High-Dimensional Slash—Piercing the Rainbow!"
An enormous high-dimensional slash fell toward Jiangnan like a divine sword, ignoring all blockage from the blade sea!
Go ahead and devour! Expand!
It didn't matter—as long as it could reach him!
Facing the high-dimensional slash descending like a heavenly sword, Jiangnan looked up, neither dodging nor avoiding!
Instead, he raised one hand and reached out to catch the high-dimensional slash!
"Boom!"
With just one hand, Jiangnan caught the high-dimensional slash—an incredibly shocking sight!
Like a tiny ant catching a descending pillar of heaven!
Instantly, an enormous two-dimensional flower bloomed from Jiangnan's palm, completely devouring and dissipating the high-dimensional slash!
Then he clenched his fist hard, and the two-dimensional flower shattered into a billion-blade sea!
No matter what attack you throw—
This body stands beneath the thousand stars; when my flower blooms, ten thousand blades kill!
The shattered two-dimensional blades rejoined the blade sea formation, and Hundred Curves, Thousand Blades' scale exploded!
But Innocent didn't care at all. Eyes bloodshot, he attacked furiously!
Instant slashes combined with high-dimensional slashes, even risking dimensional descent!
"One slash—severs the galaxy!"
Strange, dazzling slashes appeared continuously around Jiangnan!
Jiangnan no longer even moved. Clad in two-dimensional armor, he stood in place, blocking with his blade or catching with his hands—his movements extraordinarily calm!
His eyes were fixed on Innocent's every move!
His cold voice echoed across the starry sky!
"How much longer can you hold on?"
Innocent's eyes were scarlet like blood: "Until the moment I defeat you!"
At this moment, even Odin and Mi Ye, who were clearing the Lawkeeper forces below, were deeply shocked by the battle between Jiangnan and Innocent!
Wherever the eye could see, Jiangnan's blade pointed; the increasingly dense Hundred Curves, Thousand Blades seemed ready to drown both their figures!
One could faintly make out Jiangnan's composed silhouette at the center of the blade formation!
And the continuously erupting light of high-dimensional slashes—Innocent's all-out assault!
Odin rubbed his eyes, his face full of horror:
∑(°┏口┓°๑) "Holy crap! Is baby seeing this right? Those high-dimensional slashes that can annihilate everything—Big Bro caught them with his hand?"
What kind of hands were those? Unfeeling iron hands?
Yakeli's mouth twitched too. With this kind of attack pattern, even he would have no chance against Jiangnan, right?
He'd probably be a photo by now. Innocent was also tough—even now, he could still fight Jiangnan to a standstill!
Jiangnan at this moment was even stronger than during the Great Race Clash!
And he hadn't even relied on others for support—purely on his own strength!
Was human growth rate really this terrifying?
Xiao Chuihuo swung his Godslayer blade wildly, flames flying!
"Stop watching! That's Little Nan's battle—we have our own battlefield!"
"We can't drag things out until Little Nan has to clear our path for us, can we?"
Jiangnan wouldn't lose—that was the most certain thing in Xiao Chuihuo's heart!
To reach the peak, you had to defeat opponent after opponent, mercilessly shatter their dreams and pride!
Then take their share with you and keep moving forward!
At the center of the blade sea, Innocent, whose four-dimensional body had become extremely dim, suddenly exerted force!
"Nine Extreme Ghost Flash!"
In an instant, nine instantaneous slash lights appeared around Jiangnan!
Like starlight, they bloomed in an instant—and Innocent's tenth flash arrived right on schedule!
The fierce high-dimensional slash light swallowed Jiangnan's figure in an instant!
But the next moment, unsurprisingly, an enormous two-dimensional flower bloomed at the very center of the blade sea, opening wide!
Within the stamen, Jiangnan slowly opened his eyes, a cold gleam in them!
He swung his two-dimensional blade wildly!
"Ten Thousand Blades Star Burial!"
"Boom!"
The two-dimensional flower shattered into billions of wild blades, and the blade sea closed in an instant—targeting Innocent!
In that single moment, Innocent was pierced ten thousand times. The energy within his four-dimensional body was completely absorbed by the two-dimensional planes, and subsequent energy couldn't be replenished in time!
Jiangnan had finally reached the limit threshold, and the four-dimensional body shattered instantly!
In its place, a massive two-dimensional flower bloomed!
Because the energy source was lost, the two-dimensional flower stopped expanding and slowly dissipated, withering away!
It emitted a pleasant sound like porcelain cracking and wind chimes gently ringing!
Jiangnan slowly closed his eyes, behind him that withering two-dimensional flower. Listening to the wind, he softly murmured:
"The prelude of life's withering..."
At this moment, in the support group outside Julang Cheng, regardless of whether they were enemies or allies—
Countless fangirls screamed madly, jumping and leaping, their pretty faces flushed with excitement!
Not for any other reason—but because of Jiangnan in this moment!
He was just too damn handsome!
Absolutely devastating!
And everyone's hearts were in their throats—had Innocent been taken down?
But Jiangnan looked toward a certain void, his expression indifferent!
Sure enough, Innocent stepped out of the void, his face pale, looking weak, the hand holding his blade trembling slightly!
Jiangnan said flatly: "As I said... I did it."
Innocent slowly gripped his blade tightly, his eyes full of unwillingness!
