376: Lu Jiuyuan versus the Great Demon God!

However, the scene of Xu Fu's Primordial Spirit being destroyed and them perishing together, as expected, did not occur.

Although the core of the explosion had violent energy, it lacked follow-through power.

"Fake?"

Xiao Jingtian reacted instantly, the rage in his scarlet pupils burning even brighter! He had actually been played by this slippery monkey!

He looked up abruptly, fully expanding the perception field of the Myriad Paths of Sylvan Darkness, instantly capturing an extremely faint, ice-blue aura that was using the cover of the explosion's energy to flee crazily like a stray dog toward that towering silhouette in the distance!

"Xu Fu!!! You spineless coward! Let's see what other tricks you can pull!"

Xiao Jingtian was thoroughly enraged, feeling that he had been subjected to immense humiliation.

He no longer held anything back; the crimson light around his body burned like tangible flames, and his speed soared once again, like a meteor tearing through the firmament, pursuing that desperate, fleeing figure!

Xu Fu, ahead, was now at the end of his rope.

Although that fake self-detonation had fooled Xiao Jingtian for a moment, it had also almost drained the last of the True Qi he was using to maintain the Seven Nothings Ultimate Realm and his speed.

He felt his Soul trembling, his vision began to blur, and only the instinct to survive drove him forward, again and again!

The towering pavilions and continuous buildings of the World Society were already clearly visible!

"Lad Lu! Lu Jiuyuan! Master Lu! Save me—!!!"

Xu Fu used all his strength to let out a heart-wrenching roar; the shrill voice spread across the silent night sky and also reached deep into the main altar of the World Society.

Just as his voice fell, and at the critical moment when Xiao Jingtian's fist, burning with destructive flames, was about to annihilate him completely once again—

"Hum—"

An indescribably massive Sword Intent, like a sleeping primordial divine mountain awakening, rose boomingly from the center of the World Society!

This Sword Intent was not sharp or bone-chilling, but carried an absolute majesty that encompassed the eight wildernesses and suppressed everything!

The clouds in the night sky were pushed aside by an invisible force, and the cold moonlight spilled down without obstruction, illuminating the two chasing figures below with extreme clarity.

Time seemed to be elongated at this moment.

A figure, more ethereal than moonlight and faster than thought, appeared silently between Xu Fu and Xiao Jingtian.

The person who arrived wore black robes as dark as ink, with a posture as upright as a pine; it was none other than Lu Jiuyuan.

He didn't even turn his head to look at the wretched Xu Fu, but calmly stared at Xiao Jingtian, who was charging forward with the momentum to destroy heaven and earth.

Facing that destructive punch capable of making rivers flow backward and mountains collapse, Lu Jiuyuan simply joined his fingers into a sword and slashed forward!

There was no brilliant sword light, no piercing screech.

There was only an invisible sword aura, condensed to the extreme and seemingly capable of splitting heaven and earth, which appeared out of thin air and slashed with absolute precision onto the strongest point of that crimson destructive fist.

"Chih—!"

A soft sound, like a hot knife cutting into solidified butter.

Xiao Jingtian's violent, unparalleled fist energy, which stirred the chaotic Origins of earth, water, fire, and wind, was actually split in two by this invisible sword aura.

The violent energy, like a tamed beast, poured out along both sides of the sword aura, tearing two bottomless, massive ravines into the earth behind, yet it failed to harm Lu Jiuyuan or the Xu Fu behind him in the slightest!

Xiao Jingtian's forward momentum came to an abrupt halt, his figure shook violently, and for the first time, an expression of unbelievable solemnity appeared on his face.

He stared fixedly at Lu Jiuyuan, the flames of destruction dancing wildly in his scarlet pupils.

"You... are Lu Tyrant Lu Jiuyuan?" His voice was low and hoarse, carrying a hint of suppressed shock.

That sword strike just now, performed with ease, striking after the opponent but arriving first, was actually able to break through his Four Absolutes of Chaos fist momentum so precisely!

The strength of this person far exceeded Xu Fu, and likewise far exceeded Laugh Commands the World!

Lu Jiuyuan slowly retracted his sword fingers and stood with his hands behind his back, his sleeves fluttering slightly in the night wind, his crimson hair drifting backward, his eyes calm and waveless:

"I, Lu Jiuyuan. Xiao Jingtian, Great Demon God, you have finally revealed yourself."

"So it really is you? Hahaha!"

Xiao Jingtian laughed in extreme anger, his voice shaking the surroundings. "You killed my younger brother; this hatred is irreconcilable! Today, I will trample your World Society and use your head to pay tribute to the spirit of Arrogant World!"

"Just by you?"

"You're courting death!"

Xiao Jingtian was completely enraged and said no more. The dark red patterns on his body writhed crazily as if they had come alive, and the power of heaven and earth he drew upon instantly increased several-fold!

"Four Absolutes of Chaos: Tribulation of Wind, Earth, Water, and Fire!"

He struck with both fists simultaneously, no longer a single torrent of destruction, but dividing into four distinct yet complementary, terrifying attacks!

On the left, a hurricane roared, turning into billions of wind blades, cutting through the Void Realm!

On the right, thunder crashed with immense force, crimson lightning pythons roared, tearing through the night curtain!

Above, raging flames burned the sky, a dark red sea of fire poured down, scorching everything!

Below, the earth veins churned, a turbid water dragon rolled up the earth, devouring everything!

The four Origin powers intertwined into a net of destruction covering heaven and earth, strangling toward Lu Jiuyuan from all directions! The power of this strike far exceeded any move he had used while pursuing Xu Fu earlier!

Facing this earth-shattering offensive, Lu Jiuyuan was equally serious.

He was no longer limited to his sword fingers; his body moved slightly, and his entire being seemed to transform into an unsheathed, peerless divine weapon, his sharpness fully revealed!

"Body as Sword, Break!"

He let out a low shout, and his entire person transformed into a brilliant, indescribably colored sword light, advancing instead of retreating, actively charging into that net of destruction interwoven with wind, thunder, water, and fire!

"Clang, clang, clang, clang—!!!"

A dense sound of collision, like rain hitting banana leaves, instantly resounded across heaven and earth!

That sword light was as nimble as a swimming Dragon, as swift as lightning, weaving back and forth within the net of destruction!

Wherever it passed, wind blades shattered, lightning pythons snapped, the sea of fire was forcibly split open, and the water dragon was instantly evaporated!

Lu Jiuyuan, with unparalleled speed, using his body as a sword and meeting attack with attack, forcibly tore open a path within that seemingly unbreakable net of destruction, heading straight for Xiao Jingtian's true body!

"Bold!"

Xiao Jingtian was both shocked and angry, not expecting his opponent to be so fierce and brave!

He slammed his palms together, and the power of the Myriad Paths of Sylvan Darkness circulated!

"Myriad Paths of Sylvan Darkness: Returning to Truth and Guarding the One!"

An incredibly solid, invisible barrier that seemed to contain the supreme principles of heaven and earth instantly appeared before him. On the barrier, the power of earth, water, fire, and wind circulated ceaselessly and endlessly, exuding a heavy aura that could not be invaded by ten thousand techniques!

"Boom—!!!"

Lu Jiuyuan, with his body as a sword, smashed fiercely against this "Returning to Truth and Guarding the One" barrier!

An earth-shattering roar erupted! At the center of the collision, a vortex formed, crazily devouring everything around it!
