Even the Buddha Thearch couldn’t fly in this place; the gravity’s pull was too strong. However, the Buddha Thearch’s speed was still passable; he jumped here and there like a huge beast. He was not releasing any dao pattern at all at this time; instead, streaks of golden light were appearing behind him. It made him look like he was a group of Buddhas. The essence force in his hand started to form Buddha beads; he was shooting them incessantly at the Saint Emperor. Each of those beads was very deadly; they caused a disturbance in the spatial zone and were very powerful.
The almost ten-foot tall Saint Emperor’s ash-white long hair started to flay as his dagger-like gaze remained calm and cold. He was not flustered at all, facing such a terrifying wave of Buddha beads attack. His body was like a monkey’s, and he was jumping up and down, chasing after the Buddha Thearch. His speed was obviously faster than the Buddha Thearch’s. Within a few moments, he was already near the Buddha Thearch.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Buddha Thearch’s attacks had all been avoided by the Saint Emperor. Whatever those beads came in contact with—castles, surrounding walls—exploded; and the ground was also smashed into a fine dust. Some castles had actually collapsed; many savages were also crushed to death.
“Ha!”
The Saint Emperor got close to the Buddha Thearch and raised an iron fist that was radiating a golden glow and ferociously smashed towards the Buddha Thearch’s chest. While he was waving his arm, his entire body was evidently channeling streaks of golden light into his fist; the spatial zone in front of him started to crumble as a wave of ear-piercing wailing noises rang out. Some savages below were affected by it and were hugging their heads and rolling about; their eardrums were hurting.
“Just in time!”
The Buddha Thearch brought his palms together, and Buddha beads once again congealed in his hands. He continued to strike them towards the Saint Emperor. However, the Saint Emperor did not retreat one step; he continued to dash towards the Buddha Thearch.
Bang, bang, bang!
Those Buddha beads made from essence force collided with the Saint Emperor’s fist and were disintegrated. The cracks in the spatial zone also continued to increase. That despite the stability of the spatial zone here, so many crevices could be formed attested to the lethality of this attack.
“Zha!”
The Buddha Thearch’s twelve Buddha beads had all been dissipated by the Saint Emperor. The Buddha Thearch could only raise his fist similarly and smash it forward. A deep sound that made many people’s soul spirits tremble resounded, and a glaring light flashed. The Saint Emperor and the Buddha Thearch were both sent flying backward; they had both landed heavily inside castles.
“Pfff…”
The two flew forward from the castles and consecutively spat out blood. Following that, the duo transformed into sharp arrows and dashed towards each other. They clashed head-on time after time, using their strongest attacking force every time.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
It all happened so quickly. Within ten seconds, the Buddha Thearch and the Saint Emperor had clashed more than a dozen times; the two had also been knocked backward each time. Every time, they would immediately fly out and dash towards each other again.
“This Savage King’s defenses are too strong; his rate of recovery is also formidable. The Buddha Thearch is in danger…”
Jiang Yi secretly snatched a glance at the situation there as his heart sank. The Saint Emperor’s body was outrageously strong. Even if one was to wound him severely; within a minute, he would automatically start to recover. On the other hand, the Buddha Thearch’s attacking strength and speed were being restricted. If this continued on for five minutes, the Buddha Thearch would definitely be killed.
Tsk! Tsk!
The battle here was also raging intensely. Xing Mo’s body was also very strong; his speed was too fast. All of them attacking him could not lock onto him. Jiang Yi had tried to release his Divinity Slayer many times; Xing Mo had managed to flee in time every time. Jiang Yi could not lock onto him at all. Furthermore, Xing Mo was very intelligent; he used the Xuan Thearch, Yin Thearch, and Night Empress to hide every single time. If Jiang Yi released his Divinity Slayer, he would hit the three of them!
The Divinity Slayer could rely on heaven and earth forces to suppress the enemy, rendering them immobile. That was how the Evil Thearch had been killed that year.
The problem was… the Divinity Slayer needed time to charge before releasing. Furthermore, Jiang Yi’s speed was severely restricted here while Xing Mo was way faster. Xing Mo was definitely a nine-star formidable martial artist who had used saint beast bones to raise his strength even more.
That was not the scariest thing about Xing Mo. This person was indeed the absolute master at cultivating his soul spirit. His eyes seemed to contain a sea of stars, a world on its own; it could attract people to unwittingly look at them. Once one was trapped by those stars, they would temporarily lose their senses.
Facing such a high-level formidable martial artist; what would happen if one could not focus for even a second?
Bang!
The Night Empress was the best example. She had just been heavily hit by a streak of black light. Her body crashed in the distance like a kite that had its string cut off. The darkness dao pattern that the Night Empress had released also dissipated; light returned to the surroundings.
“Eh?”
At this moment, the Xuan Thearch, Yin Thearch, Night Empress, and others suddenly realized that something was wrong in the atmosphere; there was faint black fog. This black fog was released by Xing Mo. It was odorless and had been concealed by the Night Empress’ darkness dao pattern just now. Hence, no one had realized until now.
“Not good! This fog is poisonous!”
The Xuan Thearch cried out. The Yin Thearch and the seven- and eight-star Demigods’ faces all changed. They had realized something was amiss as well. Everyone had subconsciously breathed in much of this black fog before. Now, they realized that a faint black fog energy was residing within their bodies.
“Hahaha!”
Xing Mo looked towards the skies and laughed. He stood straight on a castle, smiled and said, “This is not a black fog; to be more accurate, this is called Talisman Poison. Everyone, the game is over!”
“Uh—”
Jiang Yi looked a little uncertainly at the others; he did not feel that something was wrong. However, he quickly realized why: his Mystic Divine Armor was faintly glowing and it had stopped the black fog from entering his body. That was why he felt okay.
“Pfff! Pfff! Pfff!”
Almost at the same time, the Yin Thearch, Xuan Thearch, and the seven- and eight-star Demigods all vomited blood and fell down. Their faces were pale-white; it was as if they had encountered a heavy blow. All their muscles were trembling. The situation had turned for the worst so quickly; Jiang Yi could not accept this.
“Hahaha, all of you can kill yourselves now. If you do not, it will be hard to keep your own corpses intact later on!”
Xing Mo coldly laughed as he looked at the three leaders of the Nine Thearch Clans. He did not attack anymore. The Yin Thearch, Xuan Thearch, and others had been afflicted with the Talisman Poison. It was now extremely easy for him to kill them; everything was under his control.
Boom! Boom!
On the other side, Buddha Thearch—once again—was sent flying. The Saint Emperor was as ferocious as ever. His body was recovering so quickly; there was no way the Buddha Thearch could win.
“Is this the end?”
Jiang Yi had already forgotten to attack. Even if he gave it his all and used all his skills, it would be useless. He could not lock onto Xing Mo and could not get close to him at all. Once the Buddha Thearch, Xuan Thearch, and others perished; it would be his turn next.
“Jiang Yi, run!”
The Xuan Thearch suddenly roared. Both his hands started to make strange signs as his strength suddenly increased immensely. He was originally only an eight-star martial artist but had now become a nine-star.
Furthermore, that was not it; his strength continued to increase even more. He looked towards Jiang Yi, who was standing still as he shouted again, “Run! If not, I would not be able to die in peace! Jiang Yi, remember—if you survive this and ascended, go to the Saint Spirit Domain to find your mother.”
“This…”
Xing Mo, the Saint Emperor—as well as the Yin Thearch, Night Empress, and others—were all stunned at the Xuan Thearch’s sudden increase in strength. Only the Buddha Thearch’s face did not reveal a sliver of astonishment. He, however, smiled bitterly and shouted, “Jiang Yi, run!”
“This is not a mystical ability from the Stellarsky Domain. Xuan Thearch, who on earth are you?”
Xing Mo’s eyes revealed a sliver of surprise as he shouted. Following that, his black-robed exploded as all that was left was his leather shorts. His body started to expand at a frightening speed. He grew taller—almost becoming ten-feet tall—and his muscles that carried immense strength bulged out. He had actually become a huge savage just like the Saint Emperor. He looked at the crazed Xuan Thearch that was rushing towards him and roared, “Come, Xuan Thearch! If you cannot kill me, you will have to die!”
Boom!
Jiang Yi felt as if he had been struck by lightning; he finally knew who Yu Wen was.
