Staring straight at Shi Xingyun, the Earth Dragon King roared and as his humongous form twisted and the turned, he was able to escape the restrictions that Shi Xingyun imposed on him.
With eager eyes, the Earth Dragon King waited for Shi Xingyun. Suddenly, he blinked.
Instantly, the colors of the sky changed. When his eyes were open, the heavens were bright as day. When his eyes were closed, night fell and everything was plunged into blackness.
This was a special ability of the Zhujiuyin. Their special abilities allowed them to understand the flow of time and the passing of day and night. Their abilities were extremely mystical.
The Earth Dragon King directly revealed his true form. Golden light flashed from his body and the brilliant radiance from his body touched the blurred light that Shi Xingyun used to restrain him. The two sides rippled like water.
The world, which had turned grayish-white, slowly regained its color. The Earth Dragon King regained his agility and was once again infused with life. No longer was he slow and rigid.
However, because of Shi Xingyun, the Earth Dragon King’s movements slowed. On the other side, Shi Tianhao used his Huangshen Body and Yingyuan Body to activate his Twelve Divine Generals and his City in the Sky attacks, which he directed at the Crimson Gorilla Gran Sage.
While he had been divided into two, regardless whether it was Shi Tianhao’s Huangshen Body or his Yingyuan Body, or whether it was his Twelve Divine Generals or his City in the Sky, they complemented each other in terms of strength, allowing his attacks to become more and more powerful.
The Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage had an ugly look on his face. He could clearly sense that even if he could wound or kill Xin Longsheng and the Tiangang Swordmaster with his next move, he would be met with an ugly fate in the face of Shi Tianhao’s attack.
While he hated the Mount Shu Sword Sect, Ren Changmei had died a long time ago. The Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage had no intention of dying here too.
Faced with Shi Tianhao’s attack, he twisted his body and quickly retreated. Instantly, he distorted space and greatly increased the close distance between him and Shi Tianhao in an attempt to avoid him.
With his retreat, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage too had no intention of continuing his attack against the Heaven-Opening Sword. Even if he wanted to attack, they should be on equal grounds. Right now, he was trying to resist against its attack.
The current leader of the apes exhibited an extraordinary amount of power. Faced with the sword radiance of the Heaven-Opening Sword, he let off a deafening roar.
Black fog appeared all over the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage’s body. In the black fog around him, bright and dazzling stars appeared. The stars and the black fog fused into rays of black radiance.
As the black light spun, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage’s body brimmed with demonic power and a vast amount of strength.
He then pulled out the sword radiance that had penetrated his right shoulder.
Xin Longsheng and the Tiangang Swordmaster both felt as if an unlimited amount of spiritual energy was bursting before their eyes. An infinite amount of sword radiance and sword light shot out and after the Heaven-Opening Sword’s sword radiance froze momentarily, it tried to pierce the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage once more.
However, he stood in the void firmly and as he stomped down, his huge body shot into the heavens and disappeared.
While it was not as mysterious as the Extreme Spiritual Celestial Blessing, it was much more powerful and violent. With that leap, he escaped the pursuit of the Heaven-Opening Sword sword radiance.
However, he soon came down from his jump. Immediately, he appeared before everyone once more. The speed of his jump and his re-entry was even faster than the speed at which Xin Longsheng deployed his sword.
The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage stared coldly at Shi Tianhao and said, “Zhuri, take care of Mount Shu. Do not let them leave the mountain. I will handle him.”
As he said that, he jumped once more and soon, he appeared before Shi Tianhao. His two black claws curled up in the shape of two fists. Like two hammers that could smash open the heaven, he slammed them down on Shi Tianhao’s head.
Shi Tianhao glared and the Twelve Divine Generals above his Huangshen Body took the shape of 12 golden men. Then, they descended upon the City in the Sky.
His Yingyuan Body turned into a giant that appeared to be made from thunder. It then stacked upon his Huangshen Body. Crackling sparks of thunder pierced through every single orifice of his body.
Shi Tianhao roared into the sky and his Huangshen Body expanded massively. Then, with two fists, it punched out at the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.
With the power of the City in the Sky and his Twelve Men of Gold, Shi Tianhao’s strength was maximized and his body became almost as powerful as a divine spirit. Mercilessly, he counterattacked the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.
In that instant, the two sides caused the heaven and earth to tremble. The void was almost utterly destroyed and everywhere around Mount Shu became desolate.
The scene was both bloody and wild. The other fighters all tried to take a look from the corners of their eyes.
After the Great Thunderclap Temple was destroyed and its Vipralopa Stage powers were condemned to obscurity, no one in the Divine Lands had seen a scene like this. No human cultivator ever tried to compete against a Vipralopa Stage demon using raw physical strength alone.
Yet, the most powerful move of the monks of the Great Thunderclap Temple was the Vairocana Zen Palm Fist Print. While they were explosive in strength and power, its essence was clear and natural, completely unlike Shi Tianhao.
At this moment, all everyone could see was a clash of strength between two Vipralopa Stage demons!
Dark purple rays of thunder appeared on Shi Tianhao’s body. The Twelve Men of Gold and City in the Sky above his head entered his head and fused with his body.
Shi Tianhao’s body expanded vigorously in size. Right now, his head touched the sky and he was like a giant.
The many pores of his body steamed and took the forms of Hun Dun, Tao Tie, Qiong Qi, Fire Dragon, Zu’e, White Jade Dragon and even an Immemorial Celestial Dragon. Together with Shi Tianhao, all of them roared.
With each punch, Shi Tianhao appeared capable of summoning a vast, primordial strength. The roars of tens of thousands of demons shook the heaven and earth.
Everyone stared at this scene in shock. As Shi Tianhao grappled with the strongest (in terms of physical strength) Vipralopa Stage demon, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, he appeared to be more than a match.
The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage leered at Shi Tianhao and his expression was icy cold. He too roared in fury and his body swirled with a black light. His body shimmered and quickly, he appeared behind Shi Tianhao. With his two claws, he made a grabbing motion at Shi Tianhao’s temples.
As the terrifying energy trembled, and before it actually descended down onto him, the demonic light around Shi Tianhao’s body started to disintegrate. Even the thunder pattern on his forehead started to tremble violently. It appeared to be on the verge of disintegration.
While his body was humongous, Shi Tianhao was as agile as the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and in no way clumsy. He may even be faster.
He ducked and voided the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage’s attack. Then, agile as a cat, he spun on the spot and soon, he was before the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage. He lashed out with his hand as he clawed toward the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage’s chest!
However, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage already tried to kick out at Shi Tianhao even before he realized that his claws were not going to reach him.
Shi Tianhao roared as he lashed out with both hands, one on top and the other below. His upper hand continued to make a clawing motion at the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage’s heart, while his lower hand curled into a fist.
As he punched out, the void, which had already been weakened, showed signs of disintegrating into chaos.
However, Shi Tianhao’s powerful punch appeared to stabilize the chaos, preventing it from taking any new shapes.
The creative force of the void was entangled by Shi Tianhao’s fist. It congregated onto a single point. A desolate, primordial aura and a desire for new life merged into a single entity.
This was the Celestial Sect’s martial attack, passed down from Lin Feng himself, the Two Elements Origins-Returning Hammer, derived from the Two Elements Origins-Returning Scripture!
Shi Tianhao punched the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage’s leg, which was like a black pillar of light. The two sides trembled furiously and at the same time, they appeared to have lost balance. The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage’s body topped slightly and he appeared to be on the verge of falling over.
His two eyes shone with a terrifying light. He stabilized himself and his two claws came smashing down as he tried to grab at Shi Tianhao’s back.
Shi Tianhao smiled cruelly and he continued to grab the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, completely ignoring his attack.
When the two sides clashed, the heaven and earth trembled.
Countless droplets of blood splattered down and turned into a sea of fire. Other than where Xin Longsheng, the Tiangang Swordmaster, the Earth Dragon King and the others were located, everything else that had been touched by the sea of fire was incinerated completely and utterly.
Shi Tianhao’s left hand had left a horrifying wound on the chest of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage. one could even see the veins of his heart.
His heart and internal organs were as a big as a mountain. Yet, none of them was bloody. Instead, they gave off a golden light like crystal. Indeed, they were more eye-dazzling than the stars in the sky.
The wound on Shi Tianhao’s back was just as horrible too. As a result of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage’s claws, his back was reduced to a bloody mess. In the mess of blood and flesh, one could even see shattered bits of bone.
These bits of bone resembled crystals too. They gave off colorful lights and the elemental aura of wind, thunder, fire, and water steamed from these broken fragments of bone. An infinite amount of light enveloped the heaven and the earth.
However, Shi Tianhao and the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage paid no heed to their injuries.
The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage leered at Shi Tianhao and his blood-red pupils suddenly changed color. Instantly, they became as black as night. Two rays of thick black light shot forth and came crashing down on Shi Tianhao’s head.
Shi Tianhao did not try to avoid. He raised his head and instantly, his head turned golden. He resembled one of his Twelve Men of Gold.
When the black light from the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage landed on Shi Tianhao’s head, his seemingly-invincible skin became dented and filled with cracks.
However, a bright ray of light shone from Shi Tianhao’s forehead. This was the Final Holy Light, which turned into a light of destruction that diced up everything in its path. It was aimed straight at his foe’s head!
The black hairs on the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage’s body stood up. His right leg, which felt numb after Shi Tianhao smashed it with his Two Elements Origins-Returning Hammer, kicked into action once more. He leaped into the sky and only then was he able to avoid Shi Tianhao’s attack.
The two sides sparred furiously and only now did they begin to reduce the distance between each other.
The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage looked down on Shi Tianhao, who was bloodied, and noticed that he withdrew his Final Holy Light. Another ray of light then cloaked him as he attempted to recover from his wounds.
