Suddenly a streak of light came from the wheel at an extremely terrifying speed. It crashed with Xian Li and blasted into countless particles, engulfing Xian Li entirely.
A moment later, the light dimmed to reveal Xian Li covered in bruises and blood flowing out of some places, though it was not much. Even after the explosion, Xian Li stood standing against the power of The Cycle of Reincarnation.
Had it been when Xian Li was still at his peak, he would have easily withstood this or even harm The Cycle severely. But if he was truly at his peak, he would not be here in the first place. He would be in the True Cycle Of Reincarnation which Xian Li saw before.
He stood there, withstanding the terrifying pull power he was facing. It felt like he was facing a life and death situation by looking at his expression, which he basically was.
Slowly, the power started to diminish. Even if little bit, it was still decreasing. This gave Xian Li some relief but just as he cooled, an even more terriying pressure pulled him towards the Cycle Of Reincarnation.
Xian Li, faced by the pull, lost balance and drifted towards the Cycle. He turned around and furiously used his Heaven Piercer Technique. As he had no sword, He used his hand as a sword for he was taught by his Master-
...
"The world is full of swords," His Master told him,"but only those who see and weild with the heart can draw them."
He placed a feather on Xian Li's little hands and calmly said-
"Anthing can be a sword. It is no the object, but the sharpness of your will that cuts..."
...
Xian Li raised his hands in fury, took a sigh, narrowed his eyes and murmered-
"When The Heavens are mirrired, even the gods dare not strike.
Technique Heaven Piercer, Move 2-
Lunar Reversal: Mirror Of The Heavens!!"
[A\I- Move III – Lunar Reversal: Mirror of the Heavens
A defensive counterstroke, performed when the enemy strikes. The blade reflects the opponent's intent, turning their force back upon them with divine elegance—like the moon reflecting sunlight back into the night.
Purpose: Parry and fatal counter; can even reflect energy-based attacks.
Effect: Creates a spiritual "mirror" of the enemy's move, cutting through fate itself.]
Just as he said this, he waved his hands in a strange shape. Then, In front of Xian Li, came a circular mirror hich was not completely real nor completely spiritual, but somewhere in between.
When the mirrir was formed, a miracle-like phenomenon happened. The Terrifying force when pulled Xian Li suddenly came to halt. The pull, which was so dense that it could even be seen if paid attention to, when reached the partialy spiritual and partialy physical mirror and couldn't pass through it. It even got reflected back with the same strength.
The power reached its origin in the next moment and started pulling the entire Cycle Of Reincarnation!
The Cycle trmbled as a shockwave upon getting pulled. The shockwave shook the souls residing in the cycle, waiting for their turn. Some weaker souls even shook and fell off the wheel. Only the number of the souls who fell amounted to thousands!
But compared to the total number of souls, they could only be called 'some'. As the pull continued to be reflected back with the Lunar Reversal Mirror, The wheel shivered and moved. Just as it moved, The Cycle Of Reincarnation stopped its attack on Xian Li, as if realizing something.
Though it was not a living being, Such an important part beteen life and death ought to be protected. So, It had its own conciousness bestowed by an unknown entity or perhaps by The True Cycle Of Reincarnation.
The conciousness had its own name-
The Samsara!
