Below the Nine Revolutions Realm, ninth-stage Gods were the strongest. Among humans, only the superpowers would have such experts in their ranks. Thus, it was quite impressive for the Guangling Palace to have two ninth-stage Gods accompany Ling Ziruo. Even an ancient clan like Song Tiandao’s clan could only send one such God to act as his bodyguard.
As for Xiang Shaoyun, they didn’t even have one ninth-stage God. Among his people, the ones with the highest cultivation were the two eighth-stage Gods from the Dragon Phoenix Academy and Sacred Deer Academy, Lang Ya, Purple Lightning Marquis, and the two eighth-stage Gods sent by Lu Jiang.
None of the others had a cultivation level surpassing seventh-stage God Realm. Thus, they couldn’t contend against the likes of Zhu Ganglie and Xiong Tianba. Thus, Xiang Shaoyun was forced to personally make a move.
In the chaotic battleground, the three-eyed alien saw Xiang Shaoyun’s invisible soul clone. However, the Imperial Nether Domain released by Xiang Shaoyun’s main body enveloped him before he could even warn Zhu Ganglie and Xiong Tianba.
At the same time, Xiang Shaoyun’s soul clone unleashed the Three Lives Fist upon the alien. His fist shot forth with boundless fist intent and battle intent. The profundities of various powers were also imprinted on the punch, giving the punch enough strength to contend against ninth-stage Gods.
Xiong Tianba had just sent the ninth-stage God from Guangling Palace flying away. He was about to give chase when he sensed the incoming danger. Before his sturdy body could turn around, the attack reached his wrist.
The fist crashed into Xiong Tianba like a flying star, sending even Xiong Tianba’s sturdy body flying. Xiang Shaoyun hurriedly gave chase, pushing the Sky Measuring Step to its limits. At that moment, it was as though he was measuring the heavens themselves with each step he took. At the same time, he utilized the destructive Three Lives Fist and threw punch after punch at Xiong Tianba’s wrist.
The paws of bear-type beasts were their strongest weapons. So long as their paws were crippled, a bear beast would be weakened by at least 50 percent. Although Xiong Tianba’s defensive ability was weaker than Zhu Ganglie’s, his defenses were still strong enough that not even ordinary god-grade weapons could harm him. However, the ambusher was actually strong enough to cause his arm to feel numb. Thus, he started to feel fear.
“Scoundrel, show yourself!” With a roar, Xiong Tianba erupted with strength, releasing seven waves of brownish energy from his body. Massive destruction was unleashed in all directions, sending the nearby soul clone flying.
That was the Seven Stacked Overbearing Bear Blast, Xiong Tianba’s unique ability. The seven waves caused Xiang Shaoyun’s clone to feel greatly weakened. In fact, the clone only barely withstood the attack.
“What a terrifying God Realm energy blast,” exclaimed Xiang Shaoyun in alarm.
With a god-grade weapon in his hand, the Guangling Palace expert charged Xiong Tianba yet again, only to be sent flying with a single slap.
Xiang Shaoyun transmitted to the Guangling Palace expert, “I’ll deal with your opponent. Why don’t you go deal with that pig instead?”
When the Guangling Palace expert heard that, he hesitated slightly and then charged toward the other alien. He knew that even if he stayed, he wouldn’t be Xiong Tianba’s opponent. He might as well help his companion fight the other aliens.
As for Xiang Shaoyun, his invisibility was proof of his ability to take care of himself. Perhaps he might even be able to fight the alien to a standstill! Xiang Shaoyun would probably not know whether to laugh or cry if he knew what the ninth-stage God thought of him.
Sure, he could put up a fight against ninth-stage Gods, but Xiong Tianba was a powerful alien, not a regular ninth-stage God. Even a peak ninth-stage human God would only be able to fight him equally. Even with his soul power at the level of a sixth-stage God and his ability to punch above his class, he wouldn’t be able to defeat Xiong Tianba easily.
However, since he dared to face Xiong Tianba, he naturally was confident enough that he could handle such an opponent.
“Sword!” Deciding to stop hiding, Xiang Shaoyun grabbed at the empty air before the Divine Yin Yang Sword appeared and flew toward him.
It was pointless to keep hiding. Xiong Tianba’s seven waves weren’t something he could easily deal with. He had to borrow the power of his god-grade weapon. The Divine Yin Yang Sword was not a regular god-grade weapon. Rather, it was actually at the nine-revolutions grade. If the time cultivator who had forged this sword back then hadn’t been stuck in the Nine Revolutions Realm, he would have probably been able to forge a true reincarnation-grade sword.
The Reincarnation Realm was unique and unmatched. In the Guardians Guild, only the first guild master, Venerable Yuan Shi, had a weapon of that level. Therefore, the nine-revolutions weapon in Xiang Shaoyun’s hands was already one of the highest-tier weapons in existence.
“So it’s you, little bug. I’ll crush you!” When Xiong Tianba finally saw Xiang Shaoyun, he moved his massive body and swiped his paw at Xiang Shaoyun. Like a massive wall, the overbearing paw crushed through space itself, sending spatial currents sweeping in all directions.
That attack was enough to destroy stars. That was the strength of a top-tier God. Xiang Shaoyun did not opt to face the attack head on. His battle intent soared as he moved like a slippery fish. He swung his sword at the alien.
With one slash, time itself was transfixed.
An eternity seemed to pass in an instant. Not even Xiong Tianba could react before his seven waves of energy shattered and his arm was severed from his body. In fact, he would have lost more than an arm if it weren’t for his seven waves.
“Bastard!” Xiong Tianba roared furiously and sent his other palm toward Xiang Shaoyun.
His attack was straightforward and crude, but it was also extremely powerful and could crush through everything. With the divine dao eyes active, Xiang Shaoyun saw through the palm’s trajectory. He followed the trajectory he mapped out before turning and stabbing his sword forward, piercing through the palm. A bloody hole was left in Xiong Batian’s paw.
Xiang Shaoyun did not stop. He surrounded his body with swirling yin yang energy, forming the Yin Yang Diagram around him. His entire person entered a unique state as he swung his sword again and again. The river of time itself was drawn toward him as time accelerated. Xiong Tianba immediately sank into confusion, and his body started aging.
One ought to know that in the God Realm, one was supposed to possess eternal youth. However, Xiang Shaoyun’s dao of time could penetrate the defenses of even Gods, turning an immortal body into a mortal body, making an immortal experience the process of birth, growing old, growing sick, and dying.
That was a power Xiang Shaoyun had gained after his comprehension of the dao of time deepened. The Divine Yin Yang Sword had also played a great role in his mastery over this power.
Xiong Tianba reacted in a way befitting an experienced warrior. After several roars, he broke free of the effect. His severed arm grew back, and he hurriedly unleashed the strongest attack he could.
Star River Annihilation Fist!
He formed two fists with his paws and threw them out, unleashing two pillars of destruction that seemed capable of destroying rivers of stars upon Xiang Shaoyun.
