205: Survival in dire straits

Di Jintian hovered in mid-air, with the dark purple blood pool still churning and roaring beneath him, collapsing spatial rifts and surging turbulent currents above his head, and the destructive Soul roar shockwave of the Netherworld Bone Dragon in front of him!

At this moment, his body was enveloped in a faint, constantly flowing halo of dark gold intertwined with gloom.

Beneath his originally bronze skin, abstruse and complex dark gold and gloomy demonic patterns faintly emerged, slowly flowing within his flesh like living things, exuding an ancient and domineering aura.

Beneath his tattered robes, his muscle lines became smoother, tougher, and filled with explosive power.

His Purple Mansion Realm Tenth Level aura surged like a rocket, directly crossing the Heaven-Reaching Realm and steadily stopping at the Heaven-Reaching Realm Third Layer!

A fierce pressure, several times stronger than before, mixed with divine majesty and demonic brutality, erupted from him as the center!

His eyes, dark gold on the left and gloomy on the right, coldly swept over the terrified Profound Nether Sect Elders in the distance, finally locking onto that destructive gray-black Soul shockwave.

"Beast! You think you can devour me?" Di Jintian's voice was hoarse, yet it carried a metallic clang, full of the resolve to perish together and the wild abandon after a Breakthrough!

He didn't hesitate, nor did he have time to use any complex Martial Skills.

That trace of Profound Truth fragment, forcibly absorbed and refined during his Breakthrough from the depths of the blood pool, originating from the ancient God-Demon battle, was branded into his bone marrow like an imprint.

Facing this destructive impact, the instinct for survival and the power he had just gained drove him to make the most direct and violent counterattack!

"God-Demon Heaven-Rending Claw!"

Di Jintian let out a low roar, as if from ancient wilderness.

He suddenly spread the five fingers of his right hand, and the surging formidable power that had just exploded within him, mixed with the extreme yin gloomy fire activated by the Divine Demon Transformation, surged wildly into his right arm like a flood through an open gate!

Rip!

His right arm instantly swelled a size, the dark gold and gloomy demonic patterns beneath his skin shone brightly, and gloomy flames coiled around it, emitting a heart-pounding hiss.

The entire arm seemed no longer to be flesh and blood, but transformed into a Demonic God's Claw from the depths of the Netherworld!

At the tips of his five fingers, gloomy flames condensed into five solid claw blades, over three feet long, curved like hooks, and shimmering with a cold light that could tear space!

No technique, only the purest power and the will to destroy!

Di Jintian met the destructive gray-black Soul shockwave, and fiercely swung out this "God-Demon Heaven-Rending Claw," which condensed all his current power and Profound Truth comprehension!

Buzz—!

Five gloomy claw lights, tearing through space, charged violently towards the gray-black Soul torrent with a sharp, ear-piercing shriek!

Wherever the claw lights passed, space was easily torn open into five dark cracks like fragile cloth!

Boom—!!!

The claw lights and the Soul shockwave collided fiercely in mid-air!

A teeth-grating friction and tearing sound erupted as the two extreme destructive forces furiously annihilated and devoured each other!

The gray-black Soul energy and the gloomy claw lights intensely consumed each other, erupting with dazzling energy turbulence that tore the surrounding spatial rifts even wider!

Di Jintian's entire body trembled violently, as if struck by a heavy blow. His throat sweetened, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out. His body was uncontrollably pushed backward by the immense rebound force, heavily smashing into the not-yet-fully-collapsed rock wall behind him, sending gravel (shattered stones) flying.

And that Soul shockwave, capable of severely wounding or even killing Law Realm cultivators, was actually torn apart and weakened by more than half by his desperate strike!

The residual shockwave grazed his body, blasting a bottomless hole in the rock wall behind him!

Roar!

The Netherworld Bone Dragon seemed to be completely enraged by this ant's resistance!

The emerald Soul fire in its hollow eye sockets flickered wildly, and its massive bone claw, with the power to tear space, slammed directly towards Di Jintian's location!

A gigantic shadow instantly enveloped everything!

Elder Gui Xin's eyes almost popped out as he watched Di Jintian not only survive but also experience a surge in aura and even withstand a blow from the Bone Dragon. He shrieked, "Th-this... how is this possible?! Not only was he not refined by the blood pool, but he also broke through?! What Move was that?!"

The others turned pale, looking at the sky-obscuring bone claw slamming down, fear overriding everything: "We can't worry about him! Run! This Bone Dragon has gone mad!"

The Profound Nether Sect members ignored Di Jintian, pushing their speed to the extreme, transforming into several ghostly gray shadows, and frantically fleeing towards the top of the rift.

Di Jintian struggled to his feet from the rock wall's indentation, wiping away the blood from the corner of his mouth.

The newly born power within him was like surging magma. Although he was shaken by the Bone Dragon's attack, causing his Qi and blood to churn, the terrifying recovery power brought by the Minor Achievement of the God-Demon Nirvana Body was rapidly healing his injuries.

Dark gold and gloomy demonic patterns flickered on his body surface, exuding an indomitable ferocity.

He looked up at the pale bone claw descending like the collapse of the sky, the shadow of death thicker than ever before. The Bone Dragon's power far exceeded his imagination!

"Want to crush me to death? Not that easy!" Di Jintian's eyes gleamed with savagery, and the "God-Demon Heaven-Rending Claw" he had just comprehended condensed on his right arm once again!

This time, the dark gold extreme yang fire on his left hand also erupted!

His arms crossed over his chest, and the dark gold and gloomy dual fires furiously intertwined and compressed!

He was actually going to use his newly Breakthrough power to directly confront this ancient fierce beast's world-ending strike!

Will he be crushed to pieces? Or... will he carve a bloody path out of this desperate situation?

Dark gold and gloomy light rapidly converged between his arms, as if nurturing a destructive star, meeting the all-obscuring Claw of Death!

Boom—!!!

Five gloomy claw lights, tearing through space, fiercely collided with the Netherworld Bone Dragon's sky-obscuring, pale bone claw!

Dark golden divine-demon flames and gloomy extreme Yin power coiled around the claw lights, fiercely colliding with the Netherworld Death Qi contained within the bone claw, capable of freezing Souls and decaying all things!

Hiss hiss hiss... Crack!

Visible shockwave ripples instantly spread!

The rock layer beneath Di Jintian's feet disintegrated and annihilated inch by inch like fragile biscuits!

His entire body trembled violently, as if struck by a divine mountain weighing billions of tons!

Where his arms crossed in defense, the phantom of the dark gold and gloomy intertwined god-demon battle armor flickered violently, emitting groans of unbearable strain!

Terrifying immense force surged wildly into his body through his arms, and his internal organs seemed to instantly shift!

"Pfft—!"

A large mouthful of hot blood spewed out!

Di Jintian was sent flying like a cannonball by this irresistible immense force!

His body tumbled and lost control in the violent shockwave, smashing countless collapsing boulders along the way, finally crashing heavily into the depths of the not-yet-fully-collapsed rock wall, covered with ancient runes, creating a human-shaped pit (indentation) several feet deep!

Shattered stones rustled down, instantly burying half of his body.

"Roar—!!!"

However, the Bone Dragon's roar, which shook the Void Realm, contained not the pleasure of crushing an ant, but unprecedented pain and rage!

One could see that in the center of its mountain-like, pale bone claw, there were five huge claw marks several feet deep, with edges burning with inextinguishable dark gold and gloomy flames!

The bones around the claw marks showed a scorched black color from terrifying high temperatures, and even tiny cracks were continuously spreading under the erosion of the flames!

Di Jintian, with the power of the Heaven-Reaching Realm Third Layer, directly confronted this fierce beast's enraged strike. Although severely wounded, he also injured the opponent!
