“However, for the next strike, you must be careful, Dark Heavenly Demon Body!”
At this moment, a thunderous roar erupted from Li Renchou’s mouth. Torrential black energy surged violently from his body, instantly plunging the entire world into darkness.
Li Renchou, at this moment, seemed to transform into an unparalleled demon king. A terrifying pressure radiated from him, enveloping the heavens and earth.
The strike Li Renchou was preparing was far more powerful than his previous attacks, surpassing them by more than just a small margin.
“Yaoguang Sword Technique!”
Feeling the oppressive demonic aura from Li Renchou, Lin Xiao furrowed his brow. Holding his sword aloft with both hands, he unleashed the Yaoguang Sword Technique. A vast stream of primal energy flowed out, pouring into the Yaoguang Broken Sword.
“Chi!”
Lin Xiao’s body became radiant and luminous. Terrifying waves, like an boundless ocean, surged in all directions.
The Yaoguang Broken Sword trembled as if it had amassed the power to destroy heaven and earth, causing the void itself to quake.
Dazzling white light burst forth from the Yaoguang Broken Sword, like divine radiance illuminating the ten directions of the world. The heavens and earth, previously shrouded in darkness by Li Renchou’s might, instantly brightened.
“Yaoguang!”
With a thunderous shout, Lin Xiao unleashed a terrifying sword strike. The void seemed to shudder, and an even brighter white sword beam shot forth, slashing toward Li Renchou.
“Dark Heavenly Demon Body, Demon Spear!”
Li Renchou also let out a booming roar, hurling his long spear forward.
Unmatched dark attribute power condensed into a black river, resembling a dark demonic dragon with the black heavy spear as its head. It surged forward with rolling demonic energy, bringing forth a wave of darkness.
“Boom!”
A deafening thunderous explosion erupted. Vast energy waves, like a turbulent sea, burst forth, sweeping in all directions with devastating force.
The sky seemed to whip up a hurricane, filled with an ocean of energy and rolling waves, interspersed with brilliant light.
“Could the golden age have arrived? Not only has that monstrous successor appeared, but even the Dark Heavenly Demon Body has emerged.”
In the shadows, a strikingly handsome young man observed the battle, murmuring in awe.
A hint of joy appeared on his face. “Fight on. When both of you are exhausted and injured, it will be the perfect moment for me to seize the opportunity.”
On the battlefield, Lin Xiao and Li Renchou were both forced back several hundred zhang.
However, neither was injured.
Li Renchou caught the recoiling black heavy spear, his face showing surprise. Clearly, he was astonished that Lin Xiao could fully withstand a strike from his demon body.
Lin Xiao was equally shocked. After refining two drops of Martial Emperor essence blood and stepping into the Sixth Stage of Martial Venerable, his strength had increased dramatically. With the Yaoguang Sword Technique powering the Yaoguang Broken Sword, its threat had grown significantly.
Yet, even with such a massive boost, he could not overpower Li Renchou.
“Dark Demon Phenomenon!”
At this moment, Li Renchou’s fighting spirit soared, his aura rising again. His body seemed to pulse with dark demonic flames, and rolling demonic energy surged. At his dantian, a beam of earthy light bloomed, and behind him, a vague demonic shadow emerged, as if a true demon had appeared. An intensely terrifying and dark pressure enveloped the ten directions of the world, with unmatched momentum sweeping in all directions. The entire world seemed to contain only Li Renchou and that demonic shadow.
In an instant, the man and the shadow seemed to become the masters of heaven and earth, capable of destroying everything with a single move.
Lin Xiao’s expression grew solemn. Terrifying, far too terrifying!
This was the first time he had encountered such an opponent.
His opponent also possessed a mid-tier Earth phenomenon, equal in rank to his own, though with different attributes. The dark demonic attribute was likely not much inferior to his blood dragon.
“Blood Dragon Phenomenon!” With a soft utterance, Lin Xiao pushed his primal energy to its limit. A dragon’s roar resounded, and a massive blood dragon appeared above his head, turning the entire sky crimson, as if bathed in blood. An ancient, timeless pressure radiated from the blood dragon, enveloping all directions with a vast, ancient aura that swept across the ten directions of the world.
Clearly, Lin Xiao had also unleashed his mid-tier Earth phenomenon. Originally, he could have used his primal spirit power and spiritual energy to activate the most powerful Heaven-Swallowing Spirit Finger.
However, against such an opponent, he wanted to fight purely with primal energy to see how far his Sixth Stage Martial Venerable primal energy could compete with Li Renchou.
“Yaoguang!”
This time, Lin Xiao did not use the Great Azure Dragon Slash, the technique most suited to his blood dragon phenomenon, but instead employed the Yaoguang Sword Technique.
A dantian phenomenon is a dantian with special attribute powers, making cultivation easier and allowing one to progress further than others.
The special attribute power unleashed by a dantian phenomenon is far stronger than that of an ordinary dantian.
This special attribute power can also be applied to many martial techniques.
However, it may lack sufficient integration.
If a martial technique related to the phenomenon’s attributes is used, the power flows more smoothly, resonating to unleash even greater might.
Thus, Lin Xiao had always used the Great Azure Dragon Slash to wield his blood dragon phenomenon, rather than using it with other martial techniques.
This allowed him to maximize its corresponding power.
If the blood dragon phenomenon with the Great Azure Dragon Slash could not defeat an opponent, he would immediately switch to other martial techniques, up to his most powerful Heaven-Swallowing Spirit Finger, forming a habit.
But now, the opponent’s unleashed power was too great. Using the blood dragon phenomenon with the Great Azure Dragon Slash might not withstand the attack.
After all, the Great Azure Dragon Slash was not of a particularly high grade.
The Yaoguang Sword Technique, even if not as closely aligned with the blood dragon phenomenon as the Great Azure Dragon Slash, was of a far higher grade. With the amplification of the Yaoguang Broken Sword, its power was naturally greater than that of the Great Azure Dragon Slash.
However, the Yaoguang Broken Sword, once slightly activated, consumed an immense amount of primal energy. After this strike, he did not know how much it would drain.
This was another reason he had not used the blood dragon phenomenon to activate the Yaoguang Sword Technique.
Yet, to compete with his opponent, to vie with their phenomena, he would fight even if the consumption was immense. Meanwhile, the handsome young man watching the battle from the shadows was repeatedly shocked. “A mid-tier Earth blood dragon phenomenon. No wonder that monster chose him as a successor. He’s no ordinary figure. And that Dark Heavenly Demon Body also possesses a mid-tier Earth dark demon phenomenon. If this isn’t a sign of a golden age, I wouldn’t believe it. This time, I will definitely break through!”
In the void, Lin Xiao seemed to become transparent. Terrifying waves surged forth, and dazzling white light emanated from him and the Yaoguang Broken Sword, illuminating the heavens and earth, too bright to look upon.
The Yaoguang Broken Sword seemed to hum, the void trembling along with it, as if the world itself quaked.
“Kill!” As Lin Xiao slashed downward with his broken sword, an exceptionally bright and dazzling white sword beam, imbued with the power to cleave the void and annihilate all things, surged toward Li Renchou.
