Faced with the flesh and blood land that had been restored to its island form yet remained vibrant with life, Chen Ping couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, pondering what kind of power the survival game consciousness had injected during the transformation process, making it neither an inanimate object nor easily destroyed.
Chen Ping stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then ordered Gabriel: "Gabriel, do it again, split it in two from the center."
Gabriel nodded in agreement and summoned the Seven Virtues Holy Sword once more, unleashing a powerful sword light with all her might. Compared to the previous attack, this sword light was not only larger but also more powerful, as if even the sky was being torn apart.
A sword light, like divine punishment, pierced the sky and plunged straight down, its size even exceeding that of the entire flesh-and-blood island. As the sword light fell, a deep chasm was instantly cleaved in the sea, and seawater cascaded down like a waterfall, forming a magnificent water curtain spectacle.
The enormous island of flesh and blood was indeed cleaved in two by this devastating blow, the flesh and blood mingling with the seawater, creating a grand, apocalyptic scene. However, even after suffering such a severe blow, the island of flesh and blood was not completely destroyed; the two separated parts continued to tremble and struggle, as if their vitality had reached its peak.
Chen Ping turned his head to look at Gabriel, a smile on his face, "Did you feel that power?"
Gabriel's expression showed slight doubt. She replied, "It seems to be... a fluctuation of the origin of rules. Although it was extremely brief, that unique aura did point to the existence of the origin of rules."
Chen Ping nodded in affirmation of her judgment: "That's right. This flesh and blood island contains the power of the origin of rules. Otherwise, how could it withstand the attack of a peak creator god like you? Even the most ordinary sword strike would be enough to make a peak god king unable to recover."
His gaze was fixed on the still writhing, bloody island, and he commanded resolutely, "Continue the attack, crush it completely."
Gabriel understood her meaning, and with a determined look, she once again activated the Seven Virtues Holy Sword in her hand. In an instant, countless dazzling sword lights, like an inverted galaxy, shot towards the flesh-and-blood island in a dense rain. Within seconds, the island was shattered into pieces, and thousands of fragments scattered in the surging sea.
However, even in its shattered state, the fragments of flesh still tried to reconnect, heal, and regenerate. Seeing this, Gabriel changed her sword technique again. Each ray of sword light, like a chain, wrapped around each fragment of flesh, not only preventing them from reassembling but also attempting to extract the fundamental rules contained within them with its unparalleled purifying power.
......
Faced with the predicament before him, Chen Ping scratched his chin and muttered to himself, "None of this works? It seems we know nothing about how to strip away the essence of the rules, which is indeed a mistake."
He noticed that, although the flesh fragments were cut into countless small pieces, there seemed to be some force driving them to converge towards the largest fragment in the middle, attempting to reassemble.
Chen Ping had a flash of inspiration and suggested to Gabriel, "Gabriel, try chopping all the flesh pieces into similar sizes."
Gabriel immediately understood Chen Ping's intention and once again wielded the Seven Virtues Holy Sword. With flashes of light, the sword precisely and evenly sliced each piece of flesh, ensuring they were all roughly the same size. In the blink of an eye, the previously irregularly shaped chunks of flesh on the sea surface became neat and uniform, almost identical in size.
Sure enough, after the flesh and blood chunks were cut into roughly the same size, their tendency to aggregate weakened significantly. Although they were still writhing restlessly on the surface of the sea, they no longer moved closer to each other and maintained a stable distance.
Gabriel put away the Seven Virtues, looked at the still writhing chunks of flesh on the sea, and said to Chen Ping with a puzzled expression, "Chen Ping, doing this doesn't seem to have brought about any significant changes. Apart from no longer gathering together, I can't see any other difference."
Chen Ping gently stroked Gabriel's hair and smiled, "Don't worry, it's working. Look at that piece of flesh at the very edge over there, can you feel it slowly moving away from us?"
Upon hearing this, Gabriel looked in the direction Chen Ping was pointing, and sure enough, a piece of flesh was quietly drifting outwards, as if being pushed by an invisible force. Although the speed was so slow that it was almost imperceptible, it was indeed slowly moving away from the other pieces of flesh.
However, this piece of flesh's "escape" was clumsy yet conspicuous. Compared to the other pieces of flesh that remained motionless, unshaken by the crashing waves, this piece's spontaneous movement seemed particularly abrupt, as if deliberately exposing its unusual movement. Chen Ping and Gabriel couldn't help but chuckle, marveling at the somewhat naive "scheming" of this piece of flesh.
Chen Ping chuckled and teased, "This little guy really exposed his weakness. It seems the key lies in that piece of flesh that tried to escape. Try to sense it; isn't the aura of the origin of rules particularly strong on it? Although it used a clever trick, dispersing the aura of rules to other pieces of flesh, its abnormal behavior precisely exposed the truth."
Following Chen Ping's instructions, Gabriel focused on sensing, and sure enough, only the moving piece of flesh emitted a unique aura of the origin of rules. Although the other pieces of flesh were also writhing, their aura of rules was uniform and stable, which was obviously strange.
Gabriel suggested to Chen Ping, "Shouldn't we take action now to trap it and prevent it from moving any further?"
Chen Ping shook his head and replied confidently, "Not for now. Let it roam freely for a while. It has nowhere to escape in this desolate sea. We can take advantage of this time to use the flesh and blood chunks beneath this sea as samples to try to find a way to peel away the origin of the rules. After all, although these flesh and blood chunks only carry a trace of the aura of the rules, they provide us with rare research material."
The two decided to hold back for the time being and focus their efforts on how to extract the essence of the rules from the flesh and blood.
......
As time went by, most of the flesh and blood in the sea below had disappeared. The piece of flesh and blood that had been moving quietly began to move frantically after it realized it was out of Chen Ping and Gabriel's sight. It ran for an unknown amount of time before it stopped, probably thinking it had gone far enough.
Unfortunately, it didn't know that it was the only living being in this desolate sea area; there used to be many, but they had all been swallowed up by the flesh and blood island.
Time passed quickly again, and less than one-tenth of the flesh and blood on the sea below remained. But thankfully, a trace of the origin of rules was flowing in Chen Ping's hand, which was clearly proof of their success.
Looking at the aura of the origin of rules in his hand, Chen Ping couldn't help but sigh, "After failing tens of thousands of times, I finally succeeded."
"Let's go, now we can go find that chunk of flesh."
