Now, He Is the God

"The Crystal Arrow is coming… Bai Mu's Flash isn't up yet!"

"Wind Wall! Cast Wind Wall now!!"

"Can he react in time? Hurry… hurry!!"

"Damn… too late…"

As the Enchanted Crystal Arrow was about to lock Bai Mu in place, Zhong Yi's breath completely halted, a wave of despair washing over him.

If Bai Mu got stunned by the arrow, death would be inevitable.

Just as all hope seemed lost, a whirlwind surged, lifting four enemies into the air.

Bai Mu, mid-dash toward a minion with his Sweeping Blade, suddenly vanished—

"He… he disappeared!?"

Zhong Yi's eyes widened in shock before realization struck.

"Last Breath! It's Last Breath!!!"

"Bai Mu used Yasuo's ultimate dash to dodge the Crystal Arrow!!!"

The scene was nothing short of breathtaking.

Even more astonishing than Bai Mu instantly blocking the arrow with Wind Wall!

The live stream chat exploded.

[Holy shit!! Bai God!!!]

[Is this even possible with sealed spiritual power??]

[The real Yasuo would kneel in respect…]

[Look!! Yasuo's phantom… it's merging with Bai Mu!!]

[No way, this is true Soul-Weapon Unity!!]

[Bro, why am I standing up from watching a damn illusion match…]

[This is hype as hell!!]

[Bai Mu's items aren't even good! How is he hitting so hard!?]

…

The moment Lu Ze dashed through the arrow, landing amidst the four enemies—

The phantom of Yasuo behind him slowly closed its eyes before sinking downward…

Lu Ze's figure and Yasuo's phantom overlapped completely.

"Soul-Weapon Unity… this is true Soul-Weapon Unity!"

"Before, Bai Mu had a deity watching over him!"

"But now—"

"He IS the deity!!!"

Zhong Yi trembled with excitement, roaring at the top of his lungs.

As his voice echoed, he felt an inexplicable power surging in his chest, tingling at the tip of his tongue.

His Sage-Tongue Spirit Root erupted with boundless spiritual energy.

Dense golden runes enveloped his entire body.

Meanwhile, atop Thunder Peak—

Zhao Wendao abruptly exited the illusionary realm, his face filled with shock as he stared toward the direction of the Azure Cloud Pavilion.

"My disciple… is about to break through?"

Normally, Zhong Yi would have immediately withdrawn from the illusion, shutting out all distractions to seize this rare opportunity for advancement.

But right now, he refused to miss this match.

"A sword's aura spans thirty thousand miles—one strike illuminates nineteen continents!"

"Bai Mu's blade has severed all darkness!!"

"Despite mediocre items, his Last Breath deals way more damage than expected!"

"The full-health Dark Enchantress just lost half her HP!? What kind of damage is this!?"

"Wait…"

"Why does Bai Mu only slash once after landing, yet a second whirlwind forms instantly!?"

…

As Lu Ze, shrouded in gales once more, advanced—

The four members of the Immortal-Slaying Path team panicked, scrambling backward.

A 4v1 had turned into Lu Ze chasing them down.

"H-How did you stack a second whirlwind!? No… impossible…"

Guo Tianyin, the Demon Hall Leader, paled in terror.

His HP was already critically low.

Even the rogue spirits within his formation hesitated, their Dark Orbs hovering uncertainly.

Lu Ze smirked but didn’t answer.

He was using a technique not developed until Season 7 in his past life—

"The Double Tornado."

Everyone knew Yasuo needed two Steel Tempest stacks to unleash a whirlwind.

And after casting Last Breath, those stacks reset…

But by exploiting Sweeping Blade's mechanics, one could weave in a Steel Tempest mid-Last Breath!

That was why—

Despite Lu Ze’s average items, his damage output was absurd.

Glancing at his hands, where Yasuo's phantom now clung to his body, Lu Ze blinked.

"Ah… maybe I went too hard?"

The "Soul-Weapon Unity" mechanic was his own design.

In the illusionary realm, it was pure hype.

Performing high-level techniques summoned the phantom.

Executing god-tier plays?

The phantom fused with the player, just like now.

"Whatever…"

Lu Ze shook his head.

Steel Tempest’s cooldown had just reset.

"Let’s end this."

…

"One strike!!"

"Just one strike, and the deadliest threat—the Dark Enchantress—is obliterated!!"

"Is this the true power of the Sword of the Wind!?"

"The Dragon Maiden refuses to believe it, still challenging Bai Mu!"

"She’s down!! The Dragon Maiden falls too!!! Bai Mu gets a double kill!!!"

"The Blind Monk tries to flee… no! He’s going for the Nexus!"

"The Chain Warden tries to cover him… but his Flay misses!? Are there any skills that can hit Bai Mu!?"

"Last Breath’s armor penetration is too broken—Bai Mu cuts through them like paper!"

"Triple kill! The Chain Warden falls!!"

"The Blind Monk dashes to a minion, trying to backdoor… Oh my god! Bai Mu’s pinpoint whirlwind interrupts his dash!"

"Quadra… QUADRA KILL!!"

"You four aren’t surrounding Bai Mu—HE’S SURROUNDING YOU!!!"

Zhong Yi screamed himself hoarse, yet his entire body buzzed with exhilaration.

This…

This was PEAK gaming!!!

An endless surge of power erupted from his Sage-Tongue Spirit Root…

But then, Zhong Yi noticed something wrong.

In an overlooked corner—

The Frost Archer, fresh from taking the Red Buff, activated Ghost and sprinted straight for the Lingxiao Sect’s Nexus.

"NO!!!"

Zhong Yi’s eyes bulged, his breath ragged.

The Lingxiao Sect’s Nexus had less than 300 HP left.

Three more hits…

And defeat would be sealed.

"The Frost Archer is backdooring!! The Frost Archer is backdooring!!"

"Bro Bai… can you make it…?"

On screen—

Bai Mu, fused with Yasuo, dashed frantically between minions.

But the Frost Archer’s arrow had already struck the Nexus.

"-117"!

"No… NO!!"

Zhong Yi clenched his fists in agony.

Two more shots, and the Nexus would explode.

"Can he make it… CAN HE MAKE IT!?"

Every spectator’s heart was in their throat.

"-117"!

The second arrow landed—the Nexus’s HP was a sliver away from zero.

Bai Mu was still three dashes away…

The third arrow left the bowstring.

"Too late… it’s over…"

Zhong Yi shook his head in despair.

Then—at the very last moment—

A massive Wind Wall materialized before Bai Mu.

The Frost Archer’s arrow vanished into the howling gale!

The Nexus’s HP froze at "50."

"WIND WALL… IT’S WIND WALL!!!"

"For a full thirty seconds, Bai Mu held back—even in the most desperate, life-or-death moment, he refused to use it..."

"I get it now!! He was guarding against the enemy stealing the base!!!"

"He accounted for every possibility... he foresaw it all!!"

"Pentakill... let’s congratulate Bai Mu for securing the first pentakill of this tournament!!!"
