*Booomm!!!*
Faldt’s massive giant body rushed towards Lin Sheng in a berserk rage, before being hammered by a shoulder tackle from the Netherblade to his side.
His massive body fell onto the ground like a meteorite.
“Spellword: Time Lapse!”
Faldt managed to activate his spellword, as his body suddenly blurred and disappeared before returning to the position he was standing on earlier.
That sudden shift allowed him to avoid the Netherblade’s follow up attacks.
Returning back to his original spot, Faldt’s expression was chilly as he gently touched his cheek, and noticing a scar oozing black blood on his skin.
“Netherblade… You are sure passionate enough to come at me with your Unseen Blade the moment we meet…”
The Netherblade laughed out loud.
The Unseen Blade was one of his most potent abilities and was the core of his being as a Netherblade.
This ability allowed him a chance to land an explosive blade attack that was many times stronger than usual while fighting against his enemies.
The bladed attacks mostly resulted in cutting wounds, and with the speed and power of the attacks were many times the limit of his powers, and was extremely difficult to defend against.
It was this powerful ability that allowed him to gradually climb up the steps from the continuous slaughter to his present ultimate form.
“Faldt, do you still remember the time when you humiliated me many years ago? Weren’t you all that smug back then? Look at you now? HAHAHAHA!! What an embarrassment!” The Netherblade guffawed.
Faldt sneered and looked away from the Netherblade as his gaze landed firmly onto Lin Sheng within the pillar of light.
In the hands of the so-called Holy Emperor was a woman whom he had once loved deeply and had regretted letting go, Qyne.
He could sense that Qyne was not dead.
As an Underworld Courtier, it was impossible for Qyne to be simply just killed off like that, and was simply gravely wounded.
“Hand Qyne over to me, and I shall forgive your reckless assault. ” Faldt took a deep breath and said calmly.
“Hand her over to you?” Lin Sheng smiled unknowingly and lifted Qyne up.
*Bam!!*
Suddenly, the sword of light in his right hand stabbed straight into her neck.
The tip of the blade ran out from the back of her neck as a large spurt of black blood rained upon the ground.
Qyne shuddered as a crackling sound rang out from her opened mouth.
“You can choose to take her back from me. Provided if you have that capability.”
Lin Sheng said coldly as he tossed Qyne away, and letting her slam heavily into the ground.
Even with a trace of protective white light, Qyne was still covered in blood and was dying. Her life hanging dangerously by a thread.
Faldt’s entire body trembled as his eyes turned red, as his emotions gave way to violent fury.
“Aaaahhh!!”
He violently shook his head as he roared.
*Boom!!*
The Netherblade once again slammed into him from the side.
A loud crash rang out as another sharp wound once again opened up on Faldt’s chest as black blood gushed out of it.
“Spellword: Restoration.” He took a couple of steps back as he quickly chanted the spellword to heal himself up, and the wound was quickly healed.
“Alright, let’s stop wasting time. Faldt, since you do not intend to surrender, then you shall perish here today!” The Netherblade no longer dallied as the pair of scimitars in his hands burst into black flames.
“Die!!”
He swung his scimitars towards Faldt in a murderous arc.
Faldt held his palm before him as layered of colored lights flashed on his hands, not knowing how many actual layers of protection he had deployed.
“And another!”
The Netherblade’s twin blade struck one blow after another, and while it was a simple cut and dice, every slash released a black line as the chained attack continuously crashed upon Faldt.
“If that is the case, then all of you shall die here! Dark Word: Skystone Manipulation!”
Faldt held his hands out as the black orbs around him rapidly expanded as they turned into mermaids with the same upper body and face as him.
These massive mermaids held similar scimitars in both hands as they charged forward and got into a chaotic melee with the Netherblade.
After temporarily occupying the Netherblade, Faldt pointed at Lin Sheng and just as he was about to utter a spellword.
“Too slow!”
A voice blasted out from behind him.
Lin Sheng took a step forward as his figure flickered from the light pillar and reappeared behind Faldt.
“Ward of Impact.” His index finger gently tapped against the back of Faldt’s head.
*Boom!!!*
A massive atmospheric bomb-like explosion blasted out.
The force of the blast between Lin Sheng and Faldt pushed even the Netherblade away.
“Hundred-Spellword !”
Faldt stumbled a few steps back, as the back of his head bled.
He let out a furious roar as the space around him twisted and shimmered as a large amount of colorful destructive hexes were unleashed.
Now that he was in his true body, his power was many times stronger than before.
He could instantly unleash over hundreds of spellwords at the same time, and their destructive power was ten times more destructive than before.
But it was useless.
“Ethereal Form.” Lin Sheng’s figure blurred as his form took a semi-transparent state before disappearing.
Lin Sheng, who was already extremely fast, after entering the ethereal form, and lost most of his weight, his speed increased even more explosively.
“If that is that much you can do, you disappoint me so, Faldt.”
Lin Sheng instantly turned into about a dozen afterimages that circled rapidly around Faldt in midair.
And every afterimage was flickering as if they were constantly refreshing.
This was an illusion produced by Lin Sheng’s ultra-high-speed movement.
“Now can you tell which one is me?”
“I don’t need to. I just need to kill everything!!” Faldt held his arms open as countless of colorful spellwords hovered beside him.
“Thousand-Spellwords: Death Spiral!”
He suddenly swung his arm as a large ray of light stirred and covering the entire area beside him in an instant.
Lin Sheng’s afterimages were all covered in colored light and all of them disappeared in a blink of an eye, leaving only a single figure covered in holy light that was blocking the lights.
“Not bad. Now that’s more like it.” Lin Sheng was calm.
This battle, was vengeance for his disciple, and also at the same time, to get a measure of his own strength.
In theory, his current holy power was only the level of a six-wing, and this was due to his body was being strengthened by the chaotic souls, and his holy power increased as a result.
But upon entering the ranks of the Palatinates, he had obtained the special ‘Unlimited Conversion’ ability, and could infinitely convert soul power into holy power for a short period of time.
This resulted in his almost limitless amount of holy power.
At the same time, after obtaining the Dark Wheel, of the 88 protective wards, many of them could strengthen his body, and increasing the output and explosive power of his holy powers.
The myriad of enhancement and boosts had raised Lin Sheng from a six-wing holy power level, into the realm of the Palatinates, or perhaps even higher.
Even so, the quality and quantity of holy power were not enough to stop Faldt’s enraged attack at this time.
The Thousand-Spellword was essentially a thousand spellwords being launched at the same time with stacking force.
This instant outburst was ten times stronger than Faldt’s previous spellword attacks.
But the Thousand-Spellword did not mean it was a thousand times stronger than the previous spellword.
As the formation of spellwords requires it to absorb energies from its surrounding, and at the same time, there was actually friction between spellwords. With so many disturbances, the power of a Thousand-Spellword was not as powerful as imagined.
But for Lin Sheng now, it was enough to make him eat humble pie.
