With a flash, Ningfeng was already before the Lu Yuan Grand Sage and the Royal House Lord of the Northern Tribes. As violent demonic powers surged, the surface of his body, originally exposed and resembling a human body, became covered with long, silver fur entirely. Outside the furs, a layer of purple radiance flashed.
At the surface of the purple light, large amounts of blue-green runes appeared, flowing and dancing.
Ningfeng has materialized his true form immediately, raising his strength to the peak. He raised his two claws simultaneously, tearing down towards the Lu Yuan Grand Sage and the Royal House Lord of the Northern Tribes!
Streaks of green radiance flashed through the Void, shattering space and slashing the dimension apart like the sharpest blade.
The violent strength caused the Lu Yuan Grand Sage and the Royal House Lord of the Northern Tribes to both feel coldness in their hearts.
The demonic powers of this Hades Beast, who was only Syncretic Star Soul-level and has not yet began his Tribulations, were even stronger than that of Demons who just started their Cardinal Tribulations like the Xiangliu Grand Sage!
The Lu Yuan Grand Sage appeared mad, but he was actually a rather slippery character. He has his own standards for determining the relative strength of enemies, as well as himself and allies.
However, right now, Ningfeng’s primary target is him, and his speed was incredibly fast; the Lu Yuan Grand Sage has no choice but to meet the attack.
He emitted a savage roar as his body expanded rapidly in size. He materialized his true form immediately as well, and his massive body stood erect in the Void, measuring over thirty thousand meters.
The circular pattern on the Lu Yuan Grand Sage’s forehead instantly started wavering, like a circular mirror. The surface of the mirror was lit up with a blinding white light.
At this instant, the Ten Thousand Mirror Appearances was activated. The white light twisted intensely, as if creaking under the pressure and on the verge of breaking. However, within the white light, Ningfeng’s streaks of green light, resembling blades that separated the Heavens themselves, were reflected.
Then, this green radiance shot out from within the white light, smashing heads-on into Ningfeng’s real attack.
Large patches of the Void were annihilated, and countless cracks were slashed in it. Fragmented green radiance danced in a frenzy like countless tornados, turning the vicinity into a sea of storms.
Seeing this, Ningfeng’s eyes lit up a little. “Oh? The Ten Thousand Mirror Appearances Abhijna of the Lu Yuan Tribe. It’s the first time I’m seeing the real thing; not bad, not bad.”
Suddenly, something popped up in his mind and his body became a flash of green light, flashing through the Void.
The next instant, the Void where Ningfeng was standing was annihilated. A burly human, wielding a black spear, struck directly at him.
The Qi and the blood of the human surged violently, approaching a return to nature. Although it was still fiery and scorching, but in addition to the aggressive masculinity of the blood, there was gradually the feeling of vastness and limitlessness. As the pores of his body opened and shut, it was like the trillions of stars in the sky were blinking together.
All was still normal when he did not move, but once he unleashed his strength, immense, explosive power, resembling the annihilation of the universe itself, emerged from his ostensibly only slightly larger than normal body.
None other than the Royal House Lord of the Northern Tribes – a Way of the Virtual Entity-level martial master, and currently, the strongest master of the Northern Tribes. In terms of the Qi and blood of the physical body, he was comparable to the Syncretic Star Soul-level Great Demons.
The black iron spear in his hand, meanwhile, was naturally the foremost magic treasure of the Royal House of the Northern Tribes, the Eternal Heavenly Spear.
This Mahayana-realm magic treasure was a pure instrument of killing, and it was most suited for masters of the Martial Way.
Right now, as the Royal House Lord of the Northern Tribes commanded the Eternal Heavenly Spear, he poured his Martial Will and power completely into the Eternal Heavenly Spear. When the two combined, the Martial penetrating power was so strong that, even for Syncretic Star Soul-level Great Demons, none will dare to take the hit directly. If the stab landed, there will instantly be a bloody hole on the body.
Even compared to Ningfeng, the body of the Royal House Lord of the Northern Tribes now appeared exeeedigly small, let alone to the Lu Yuan Grand Sage. However, within this seemingly small body was an extremely terrifying strength; in close quarters martial combat, he was fearsome to the extreme.
Radiance surged in the eyes of the Royal House Lord of the Northern Tribes. Not only did his Immortal Soul merge completely with the physical body, but even the Dao Fruit, produced after the Virtual Entity was attained, was forged into the body as well. The power was so violent that it could shatter the Void with nothing more than the body of flesh and blood, moving mountains and seizing stars.
His strike having missed the target, the power immediately erupted yet again, ramping the close-quarters explosive force of Martial Way cultivators up to the extreme. The resultant speed was faster than even the speed of the Immortal Soul teleporting through space; he continued to pursue Ningfeng.
Seeing this, Ningfeng raised his eyebrows. His demonic powers formed streaks of green radiance, compressing continuously until they also formed a spear. The spear, from green, gradually turned to black, its evil aura rocketing up into the sky.
Within a mere instant, the green-black spear of light flashed through the Void, stabbing straight at the Royal House Lord of the Northern Tribes as well.
The green-black light spear instantly shattered the Void, impacting the Eternal Heavenly Spear. The two rubbed together vigorously, emitting piercing booms.
The two spears passed each other as they scraped. The direction of the green-black light spear was diverted, but the spear tip that the Royal House Lord of the Northern Tribes stabbed towards Ningfeng was diverted from its original track as well.
Ningfeng let out a cold laugh. Abruptly the green-black light spear exploded thunderously at point-blank range from the Royal House Lord of the Northern Tribes, becoming a massive shower of green light that hurtled towards the Royal House Lord of the Northern Tribes.
Although each streak of light in the dense light shower was thin, the Royal House Lord of the Northern Tribes could clearly feel the terrifying destructive power within.
Letting out a low yell, Qi and blood ascended from the top of his head, forming an illusion. Within the illusion, there were the vast grasslands, the boundless blue skies, and the Four Seasons – Snow, Rain, Wind, and Frost. The dome of the Heavens was infinite and boundless.
The Royal House Lord of the Northern Tribes projected his own Martial Will to the extreme, and the Eternal Heavenly Spear resonated with it as well, emitting a sharp, savage cry.
The momentum of the spear abruptly changed; as it swung, countless shadows of the spear flashed, so fast that one could not see clearly.
However, within the range of the shadows of the spear, it was as if the Void has been entirely locked down. Within the space, every single thing was stationary; even specks of dust floated in the air, unmoving, like a still picture.
The innumerable green shower of light was intercepted as well, unable to move even another inch.
The next moment, the momentum of the Royal House Lord of the Northern Tribes’ spear changed yet again. The countless spear shadows disappeared, and only a streak of black light remained that flew right at Ningfeng. In an instant, the complex became the simple, and the inaction became the action, demonstrating the profundity of the Martial Way.
However, before the Royal House Lord of the Northern Tribes struck again, several green-black light spears were already shooting in his direction!
The Lu Yuan Grand Sage let out a dull snort as the light circle on his forehead flashed with white light again, reflecting the images of the green-black light spears in attempt to use the Ten Thousand Mirror Appearances to fight Ningfeng’s Abhijna.
However, Ningfeng’s strength obviously exceeded his – such that it was extremely hard for the Lu Yuan Grand Sage’s Ten Thousand Mirror Appearances to reflect the green-black light spear. Of the many light spears, only one was reflected.
As the Lu Yuan Grand Sage roared, white light was spat out of his mouth, forming a hurricane that attacked. The Royal House Lord of the Northern Tribes was forced to change his attack as well, in order to deflect the green-black light spears stabbing towards him first.
Both the Royal House Lord of the Northern Tribes and the Lu Yuan Grand Sage wanted a chance to engage in close-quarters combat. However, under Ningfeng’s violent attacks, they could only do their utmost to meet them for now.
Meanwhile, what made their hearts feel weighty was that the other Hades Tribe Syncretic Star Soul-level master, Juanlong, was standing at the side, watching them silently with a blank look on his face. On top of his head, the three long horns flashed with cold light.
“Juanlong, you go and chase that Great Void Sect cultivator. By the looks of it, me alone is enough here.” At this moment, Ningfeng suddenly grinned, baring his fangs. “Great Void Sect Immortal Soul cultivators are rare, but today, I am more interested in tasting the Lu Yuan’s brain.”
As he spoke, the purple glow on his body flashed rapidly, complementing the green light patterns. Amidst the purple and the green, the light from the three horns on top of his head was growing even more blinding.
Staring at the Lu Yuan Grand Sage, Ningfeng laughed coldly as he spoke. “Can your Ten Thousand Mirror Appearances reflect…this?”
With a long howl, a streak of green radiance fired from between his eyebrows. Like a long, green rainbow, it shot in the direction of the Lu Yuan Grand Sage!
That energy was indiscernible yet savage; wherever it touched, the Void was instantly shattered and annihilated.
Flowing Mist Energy of Hades!
The Lu Yuan Grand Sage’s expression changed. He did not need to try to know that his Ten Thousand Mirror Appearances Abhijna would definitely not be able to reflect this attack of pure destruction.
He did not dare to hesitate for even an instant. All of the Lu Yuan Grand Sage’s power erupted instantly – but not to meet the attack. With a mighty leap, he ripped open the Void and, with all his power, undertook evasive maneuvers.
If this attack hit home, even if he managed to survive, he would be severely injured.
Apart from their Ten Thousand Mirror Appearances Abhijna, the Lu Yuan Tribe also has extremely strong Qi and blood. Their speed was not at all slow, and was even known for crossing thousands of mountains with one step. Right now, with this leap, the Lu Yuan Grand Sage opened the Void in an instant and moved a great distance.
However, even so, he was still brushed by Ningfeng’s Flowing Mist Energy of Hades; one of his monkey claws was immediately severed by the terrifying green radiance!
The Lu Yuan Grand Sage let out a shrill cry of pain, while Ningfeng laughed heartily. In an instant, the Flowing Mist Energy of Hades swept towards the Royal House Lord of the Northern Tribes as well.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, the expression of Zhanming – whose Abhijna was previously neutralized by the White Tiger Grand Sage’s Destruction Death Star – was still normal as ever. Light flashed on his three horns as he was enveloped by a purple glow; on the surface of the purple light, dark gold divine patterns permeated within the Void
That terrifying air was much stronger than Ningfeng. Even faced with the White Tiger Grand Sage, who was merely a step away from completing his Tribulations, it did not yield in the slightest.
As his eyes flashed, the purple glow suddenly disappeared. In its place was two radiances, one gold and one silver, flowing continually like the cycle of the sun and the moon.
“Sun and Moon Energy of Hades.” Zhanming said coldly, and two radiances, one gold and one silver, shot out from between his eyebrows together. They met each other along a corkscrew path in the Void, merging and becoming a dark gold flash of light.
This terrifying dark gold radiance swept across the Void, shattering the sea of Destruction Death Stars falling towards Zhanming.
The look of the White Tiger Grand Sage was ice cold, and his intent to kill was fearsome. He emitted an ear-shattering howl; amidst the howl, wind roared, slashing the skies apart.
The cloud follows the dragon, and the wind follows the tiger. When the tiger howls, wind appears.
Nine Heavens Holy Wind Dark Gold Sword Squall!
This incredibly sharp strike slashed apart Zhanming’s Sun and Moon Energy of Hades!
However, Zhanming seemed not to care. “What a strong Abhijna. Among all Demons below Vipralopa stage, in terms of pure attack power, probably only Jingyan’s Brilliant Heavenly Energy of Hades could exceed this strike of yours. However, you cannot keep using an attack of this magnitude.”
As he ended his sentence, he unleashed the Sun and Moon Energy of Hades again, attacking the White Tiger Grand Sage.
Juanlong watched the two sides of the battlefield quietly, thinking. “I do not need to worry about Ningfeng’s side, and this side is secure as well. I can just go and chase that Great Void Sect cultivator without worry…”
As he thought, suddenly, something clicked in his mind and he turned abruptly. In the distant horizon, the Void suddenly shattered, and a figure strode out from within.
