Inside the Star Tower, the Xia Clan’s transcendents watched the battle with bated breath. They couldn’t hear the distant conversation between Elder Youping and Dongbo Xueying. All they saw was Dongbo Xueying being smashed into the desert ground, emerging seemingly injured.
“He managed to wound Xueying?”
“Could he actually lose the battle?”
The group was visibly anxious but utterly incapable of intervening in a fight of this level. Even the Witch God and the Great Demon God, although possessing extremely high attainments, found their power significantly restricted under the oppression of the Plane’s Will. Their might, at merely the peak of half-divine power, offered little help.
…
“Enduring my slash, you deserve to be my opponent.” Elder Youping’s silver mask revealed eyes brimming with madness. He now regarded Dongbo Xueying as a true adversary. “Face my techniques!”
Whoosh!
In an instant, Elder Youping vanished without a trace. His figure, slipping into ripples, struck Dongbo Xueying in the blink of an eye. Then, the world turned white, an incredibly violent force erupting forth as blades of light attacked.
“Die!” Dongbo Xueying made no attempt to defend. His spear instantly lunged at his opponent, creating a scene of expanding and collapsing stars amidst the white void.
Dongbo Xueying dared to endure the slash with his body.
But Elder Youping dared not endure that spear strike! After all, Dongbo Xueying’s “Great Chaos Hole True Power” granted his every move the might of a late Divine Rank, enhanced further by the Star Tower’s world-forming ability and the secret art “Star Collapse Strike.” This spear strike reached nearly the might of the peak Divine Rank, its rule mysteries terrifying and unpredictable.
If he were to endure such a strike bodily, Elder Youping instinctively realized he would certainly die! His cultivated Divine Rank secret techniques focused more on offense, offering little in terms of survival.
Clang!
Elder Youping’s blade instantly changed tactics, blocking Dongbo Xueying’s spear.
The impact wave from the clashing weapons swept in all directions. Within a radius of thousands of li, everything became a death zone. Underground soil and rocks shattered into streams of particles, then returned to nothingness.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The weapons clashed repeatedly.
Both warriors fought fiercely.
Elder Youping unleashed his sword techniques to the fullest. He had no advantage over Dongbo Xueying in other aspects, but he held a significant edge in “speed.” Whether it was his mastered secret techniques or arcane arts, all excelled in speed. His rapid transformations and continuous attacks overwhelmed Dongbo Xueying, whose spear techniques, although fast, were clearly suppressed.
He could only counterattack repeatedly, even abandoning bodily defense to force the opponent into defense.
Despite this, after dozens of exchanges, their bodies occasionally suffered strikes.
Boom~~~
In the fierce battle, Dongbo Xueying, occasionally struck, continuously retreated backward, then fell into the ground. Elder Youping, with his astonishing speed, relentlessly pursued Dongbo Xueying. His pursuit speed surpassed Dongbo Xueying’s retreat and fall into the earth, ensuring Dongbo Xueying could never escape him.
From underground, they emerged back onto the surface.
At a glance…
A shockwave tore across the sky, drilling into the ground, resurfacing. Within that wave were the battling Elder Youping and Dongbo Xueying.
The Xia Clan’s transcendents watched tensely but couldn’t discern the battle’s details.
Yet the Witch God and Great Demon God, possessing extremely high attainments, could perceive everything from afar. Even Elder Youping’s elusive movement techniques held no secrets from them. After all, attaining the first Heaven God Rank meant condensing a Divine Heart of the First Rank. The Great Demon God, even surpassed the Witch God in attainment.
If their true forms could descend, they could obliterate Dongbo Xueying with a mere flip of their hands.
But such was the rule!
This was the Material Plane, destined to protect mortals. The Divine Plane and Abyss were the vast realms for those mighty beings.
“What do you think?” the Witch God asked. “Can Youping win?”
“He has the upper hand! Dongbo Xueying can only rely on his body, disregarding defense, forcing attacks.” The Great Demon God replied. “Each time Dongbo Xueying is struck, he likely sustains injuries. Accumulating minor wounds into major ones could even cost him his life. To kill Dongbo Xueying, this battle might last one or two days.”
The Witch God nodded slightly.
In the Divine Plane.
Two mighty deities battling, killing the other after continuous combat for several days, was common. Especially when the opponent was too adept at survival, making them extremely difficult to kill. There had even been cases of powerful Heaven Gods surrounded and attacked by massive divine legions, taking over a year to finally slay.
…
The battle raged for half a watch.
Dongbo Xueying often appeared with blood at the corner of his mouth, seemingly injured.
Yet in truth, it was naught but inner tremors. Dongbo Xueying deftly spat forth crimson, feigning grievous wounds. In verity… he remained unscathed!
“Such incredible speed,” Dongbo Xueying secretly marveled. “This Elder Youping’s secret techniques also favor speed. His Heaven God-level secret arts should also lean toward speed… reaching such a level of swiftness, completely overwhelming my offense. Sigh, I must quickly advance my Extreme Point Penetration to the Divine Heart Rank, otherwise the speed gap is too great.”
Extreme Point Penetration excelled in speed. But without reaching the Divine Heart Rank, his attainment was insufficient.
Additionally, the two Heaven God-level secret arts he cultivated were one for protective defense and the other, Great Chaos Hole True Power, favoring absolute power.
Therefore, in terms of speed, he was completely suppressed.
“But now, it’s time to end this.”
Dongbo Xueying had fought for half a watch to hone his spear techniques, as finding a life-and-death sparring partner was difficult. Now that he had grown accustomed to the opponent’s repetitive moves, they no longer helped refine his spear techniques.
“End it!”
Dongbo Xueying’s Great Chaos Hole True Power instantly surged into his blood-drinking spear, beginning to activate this divine weapon forged through blood.
Vrrr!
Indeed.
Throughout the battle, Dongbo Xueying hadn’t activated the blood-drinking spear, merely using it as an ordinary weapon. Without power activation, the artifact couldn’t display its might. However, the “Great Chaos Hole True Power” granted Dongbo Xueying the might of a late Divine Rank, enhanced further by the Star Tower and secret techniques, easily reaching nearly the peak Divine Rank.
Activating the Blood-Drinking Spear would drastically amplify the power of every strike, elevating both offense and speed to their peak, while nullifying any training benefits.
Dongbo Xueying had long discovered the opponent posed no real threat to his life, so naturally, he could play around leisurely. It could also deceive the Witch God and Great Demon God.
“Die!”
Boom~~~
The blood-drinking spear abruptly slanted, its shaft bending like a drawn bow. In an instant, a shadowy star flickered into existence around it, swirling ominously. The spear’s momentum erupted with terrifying force.
At such close quarters, the sudden sweeping strike caught Elder Youping—who had been pressing the assault—completely off guard. A lethal chill shot down his spine. With no time to think, he desperately swung his blade to parry.
Peng!!!
Secret Art—Chaos Hole Crush!
This was the first time Dongbo Xueying had unleashed this technique. After mastering the “Great Chaos Hole True Power,” this was the secret art he spent the most time on. The sole purpose of this secret art—completely focused on power! Overwhelming force!
The activation of the Blood-Drinking Spear instantly elevated its aura to the pinnacle of Divine Rank, unleashing the “Chaos Hole Annihilation”… rendering its presence even more horrifying.
“Ahh!”
Elder Youping’s war blade was instantly struck by the spear shaft, pressing against his chest. A vast force, accompanied by rotation, surged into his body. His body instantly began to shatter, crashing heavily onto the ground below. The earth roared, and around him, continuous destruction turned everything into streams of particles returning to nothingness, like boiling porridge.
“I… I almost…” Elder Youping’s shattered body instantly healed. He wore an expression of terror, gazing fearfully at the white-robed youth in the distance. “I almost died?”
From that single strike.
Seventy percent of his life force had been consumed!
This was still due to his supreme Divine-grade armor shielding him. Had Dongbo Xueying’s attack been just a bit more powerful, it would have shattered him completely! Evidently, his physical form was rather frail.
“Flee! Flee! Flee!” Elder Youping no longer dared to fight.
Without hesitation, following the Material Plane’s rejection of him…
Vrrr!
He instantly vanished into thin air, disappearing from the Xia Clan’s world and the Material Plane.
“Where did he go?” Dongbo Xueying, hovering midair, was somewhat stunned, staring at the massive crater in the distance. How had Elder Youping suddenly vanished? Even the Star Tower couldn’t locate him anymore. “Could he have some powerful stealth technique that even the Star Tower can’t detect? Impossible?”
“Hmm?” The distant Witch God and Great Demon God were also momentarily startled.
“Cursed! He fled, escaped to the Divine Plane!” The Witch God immediately realized, letting out an angry growl. “Worthless! Worthless!!!”
