222: Intense battle

At the same time, facing Liu Ruyan's purple Fire Phoenix that threatened to Incinerate the Eight Desolations, Yao Delong's eyes burst forth with golden light!

"Nine Suns Burning the Heavens—Blazing Sun True Fire!"

Boom!

Behind him, nine dazzling golden Blazing Sun phantoms suddenly appeared, spinning wildly!

A terrifying heatwave capable of burning the heavens and boiling the seas instantly swept out!

What was even more horrifying was that the Sword Domain, originally filled with endless sharpness and

capable of cutting all things, suddenly saw its temperature skyrocket!

Countless invisible Sword Qi seemed to be ignited, taking on a layer of scorching gold and red!

The air was scorched and twisted, letting out crackling sounds!

The Bluestone Ground beneath their feet began to soften and melt under the cutting of the sharp Sword Qi and the scorching of the terrifying high temperature!

The Sharp Sword Domain instantly transformed into the Heaven Burning Sword Prison!

Within the sharpness, there was terrifying high temperature capable of incinerating all things!

The three people caught within it immediately felt their pressure multiply!

While their protective spiritual light was being cut, it was also being intensely scorched and eroded by the pervasive, scorching high temperature!

"Long River Piercing the Sun!"

The Golden Crow Setting Sun Ancient Sword in Yao Delong's hand erupted with an unprecedented blinding golden light!

On the sword body, the Blazing Sun True Fire, refined to the extreme, burned fiercely,

as if he were holding a Divine Weapon forged from the core of the sun!

His body remained still; he simply thrust his sword from afar toward the lunging purple Fire Phoenix!

This sword strike was too fast for the eye to follow!

A golden-red Sword Aura, condensed to the extreme and seemingly composed of pure light and heat,

carrying the Pure Yang True Intent capable of piercing the Great Sun and incinerating eternity,

ignored the spatial distance and instantly appeared before the purple Fire Phoenix's chest!

Within the Sword Aura, a lifelike Three-legged Golden Crow phantom flapped its wings and cried out,

its power several times stronger than when he first executed the Pure Yang Limitless Sword Canon!

Liu Ruyan's beautiful eyes instantly widened; a sense of fatal crisis made her scalp tingle!

She waved her jade hands repeatedly, and a diamond-shaped Jade Shield flowing with purple flame patterns instantly appeared in front of her,

growing rapidly upon meeting the wind, transforming into a massive wall of fire shields!

This was her ultimate defensive Magic Treasure—the top-grade earth artifact, Purple Flame Spirit Shield!

Sizzle—!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a slight sound, like a branding iron plunging into snow!

The Sword Aura, containing Perfection-level Pure Yang Sword Intent and Blazing Sun True Fire,

was like a hot knife cutting through butter, piercing the core of the Purple Flame Spirit Shield without any hindrance!

The purple flames flowing on the shield instantly dimmed and extinguished, losing all spiritual light, and flew back with a mournful cry!

Puff!

The remaining momentum of the Sword Aura did not diminish, and although it had been greatly weakened by the Spirit Shield,

it still fiercely slammed into the Protective Spiritual Light that Liu Ruyan had hastily deployed!

Liu Ruyan was struck as if by a heavy hammer; her delicate body trembled violently, and she suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Her face instantly turned pale, and she flew backward like a kite with a broken string,

slamming heavily into the light barrier at the edge of the Floating Island before barely managing to steady herself.

Her aura was weak; she had clearly sustained a serious internal injury!

"Hiss—!"

"One sword! Just one sword broke Senior Sister Liu's Purple Extreme Heavenly Fire and her defensive Magic Treasure?!"

"Pure Yang Limitless Sword Canon? Senior Brother Yao didn't show this much power when he used it that day?!"

"The Realm of Perfection?!"

On the high platform, the Peak Master of Heavenly Sword Peak, Jian Wuchen, suddenly stood up, his eyes flashing with sharp light.

As a Great Master of the Sword Dao, he could tell at a glance that Yao Delong's strike,

had already pushed the Killing Move of the Pure Yang Limitless Sword Canon to the state of flawless Perfection!

Sword Intent, Sword Momentum, Sword Aura, and True Fire were perfectly unified, leaving no flaws!

A chorus of gasps echoed from the viewing platform!

Liu Ruyan, ranked second in the previous competition, couldn't even fully withstand one sword strike from Yao Delong?!

"Roar—! Junior Brother Yao! Take my Thunder Dragon Break!"

The moment Yao Delong severely wounded Liu Ruyan with one sword, Lei Qianjun's roar exploded like startling thunder from the Nine Heavens!

He knew this was the only chance! Taking advantage of the moment when Yao Delong's previous strength had just dissipated and new strength had not yet been generated,

and the Sword Formation was fully focused on strangling Mu Yuqing, he unhesitatingly unleashed his strongest Killing Move!

"Thunderous Tyrant Body! Activate!"

RUMBLE—!

Violent deep blue lightning erupted from his body like an enraged Dragon!

Fine blue Dragon scales instantly covered his entire body, his muscles bulged and swelled, and his height surged to over ten feet!

Deep blue lightning, condensed into substance, wrapped around him, forming a ferocious Lightning Battle Armor!

An aura even more violent and fierce than yesterday shot into the sky,

actually forcing open a space against the suppression of Yao Delong's Heaven Burning Sword Prison!

"Thunder Dragon Void-Slaying Strike!"

Lei Qianjun transformed into a streak of deep blue lightning that tore through space,

carrying the terrifying might of destruction, instantly appearing before Yao Delong!

His massive fist, covered in lightning Dragon scales and wrapped in countless violent Lightning Snakes,

like a falling meteor, fiercely smashed toward Yao Delong's head!

This punch contained all the power of his Thunderous Tyrant Body state, enough to smash a small mountain into dust!

Facing this fierce blow, which was enough to make even a Nascent Soul Cultivator change color, Yao Delong's eyes remained as calm as water.

"Heart Sword—Traceless!"

An invisible and intangible yet terrifying fluctuation that seemed capable of freezing the Soul,

instantly spread out from between Yao Delong's eyebrows!

The Golden Crow Setting Sun Ancient Sword in his hand suddenly flowed with a strange, wave-like luster across its body,

that was not the glow of spiritual power, but the Fusion of pure Mental Will and ultimate Sword Intent!

Swish!

Yao Delong lightly flicked his wrist, and the golden crow setting sun transformed into a streak of golden light almost invisible to the naked eye.

Instead of meeting the violent thunder fist head-on, it was like a venomous snake flicking its tongue,

instantly striking the wrist of Lei Qianjun's attacking fist from an extremely tricky angle!

The invisible power of the Heart Sword on the sword tip was like a maggot clinging to bone,

ignoring the physical defense of the Lightning Battle Armor and directly piercing into Lei Qianjun's Sea of Consciousness of the Divine Soul!

"Ugh!"

Lei Qianjun's charging figure suddenly froze!

The world-destroying Thunderous Tyrant Fist instantly lost most of its power!

He felt an indescribable sharp pain and coldness instantly pierce his mind, as if his Soul had been pricked by a needle!

The operation of his Divine Sense instantly became sluggish and chaotic,

and the violent, surging Power of Lightning within his body also paused, becoming disorderly!

A strong sense of dizziness and nausea surged into his heart!

"Damn it! It's a Divine Soul Attack! Xiao Chen fell because of this move!"

Lei Qianjun cried out in horror internally! He finally understood why Xiao Chen had collapsed so strangely that day!

This Yao Delong actually possessed such strange, domineering, and Divine Soul-targeting Swordsmanship!

Conflict between masters is decided in an instant!

Lei Qianjun's momentary sluggishness and power disorder were a massive Opening for Yao Delong!

"Void Splitting Nine Strikes—Destroyer!"

A cold light flashed in Yao Delong's eyes; seizing this fleeting opportunity,

his left fist clenched tightly, and Blazing Sun Power and Vital Energy erupted!

Golden-red light condensed into a single point on his fist, carrying terrifying penetrating Force,

like a massive siege cone, solidly smashing into Lei Qianjun's chest, whose defense was wide open due to the intense pain in his Divine Soul!

Boom—!

The chest armor covered in lightning Dragon scales instantly caved in, letting out a jarring sound of shattering!

The violent penetrating Force, like a bursting flood, fiercely poured into Lei Qianjun's body!

"Pfft—!" Lei Qianjun violently spat out blood mixed with fragments of internal organs!

His mountain-like, robust Thunder Tyrant Body was now like a broken sack hit by a giant hammer,

flying backward faster than he had arrived, leaving a streak of dazzling blood!

He didn't even have time to react, crashing violently like a kite with a broken string into the Formation Light Barrier at the edge of the Floating Island!

Buzz!

The light barrier fluctuated violently, dissipating most of the impact force,

but Lei Qianjun's body was still fiercely repelled, falling like a meteor toward the ten thousand-foot Void Realm below!
