The Battle of the Divine Pillar (I) (Continued)

"Unfortunately, under the Eternal Barrier, all laws are annihilated, and all divine artifacts are reduced to their original material properties, such as sharpness and amplification of Spiritual Qi. All Divine Ability powers and abilities have ceased to exist, and the Wheel of Time Sword has fallen from a top-tier divine weapon to a second-rate level."

Nether Lord shook his head and sighed, but there wasn't much regret in his tone; instead, it was full of schadenfreude.

Moth Emperor's mind raced, and she said, "In that case, those who possess divine weapons should be happy to see the destruction of the Eternal Barrier, right?"

Nether Lord chuckled and changed the subject, saying, "The Divine Pillar haven't fully descended into the world yet; we'll have to wait a while longer."

The Moth Emperor didn't care, she just kept the matter in mind, thinking that she might have a chance to trick Heaven-Defying Society in the future, but right now it was more important to cut off the Divine Pillar.

A moment later, the aura of the Divine Pillar solidified completely. The Moth Emperor urgently activated her Power of Anomalies, and a pair of moth wings appeared on her back. With a swift movement, she wielded the Wheel of Time Sword and transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards the Divine Pillar.

Suddenly, two beams of psionic energy shot through the air. The Moth Emperor, alerted in advance, braked abruptly and barely missed the beams.

"Who?"

"Since you have the audacity to ask, I'll mercifully tell you."

A red figure flew over; it was Si Ming. Wearing the Vermilion Bird Profound Armor, he pushed his speed to the limit, nearly ten times the speed of sound. The wind pressure alone was enough to crush an ordinary martial artist's body into a meat patty. If observed with the naked eye, one could only see a red line that kept extending in the sky.

"The Sword Rises, Wind and Clouds Move!"

The Vermilion Flame Sword, heated to over 4,000 degrees Celsius during the journey, flew out like an arrow shot by Hou Yi towards the sun. The Moth Emperor hurriedly blocked with her sword, but was immediately pushed backward by the powerful impact and crashed hard into the Divine Pillar.

If it were an obstacle like a mountain wall, the Moth Emperor could have used it to mitigate the impact. But the Divine Pillar was so sturdy that only the sharpness of a divine weapon could cut a gap in it. No matter how strong the impact on her body was, it couldn't budge her in the slightest. Thus, the Moth Emperor took the impact of Si Ming's speed of ten times the speed of sound without any room for buffering. Even with the powerful body of the King of Monsters, she was still shaken so badly that her internal organs were displaced, blood flowed from her seven orifices, and her brain was constantly roaring.

"It's you again, you little rascal."

Thanks to her body's powerful regenerative abilities, the Moth Emperor quickly regained consciousness and recognized the person in front of her as the one who had punched her hard in the face when she broke free of her seal. She still vividly remembered that punch and felt a slight pain in her face.

"Hehe, it's your Laozi!"

Si Ming used his divine power to suppress the Moth Emperor, preventing her from breaking free, while continuing to increase the temperature of the Vermilion Flame Sword. Soon, the blade of the Wheel of Time Sword turned bright red, clearly indicating that he intended to use the high temperature to melt this divine weapon in two.

Sensing Si Ming's intention, Moth Emperor's expression changed, her eyes flashed with golden light, and she shot out two thin beams of light.

Si Ming quickly leaned back to avoid the attack, but in doing so, he was unable to maintain his advantage and was kicked away by the Moth Emperor.

"Wind of No Forgiveness!"

The Moth Emperor spread her five fingers and aimed them at Si Ming. With a flap of her wings, fierce wind blades roared out. Si Ming hurriedly dodged, but still couldn't completely avoid it. He was swept up by the airflow, half of his body was pulled down, and he immediately sank to the ground. He quickly activated his energy-dissipating technique to deflect all the airflow, spun around once, and circled back.

Moth Emperor turned to Nether Lord and said, "Quickly help me hold him off."

Holding flowers, Nether Lord smiled apologetically, "Although I really want to help, I'm being watched too. If I make the slightest move, they'll shoot an arrow. Let Xuan Kai lend you a hand instead."

Moth Emperor glanced at the Black Armor General, giving him a "Are you kidding me?" look. With that size, how could he possibly keep up with her fighting speed? Even if this guy was a fat man with superb lightness skills, what use is he if he can't fly?

Si Ming didn't care what the Moth Emperor was thinking. He activated the Vacuum Zero-Energy Furnace at full power, frantically absorbing vacuum Zero-Point Energy and converting it into his own True Qi to maintain the consumption of the Profound Armor. At the same time, he stirred the sword blade, and the Sword Qi burst out like thunder. The sword tip seemed to become a black hole, generating tremendous suction and pulling force. Within a range of ten feet, the wind howled loudly, and the wind between heaven and earth constantly poured into the sword, turning into sharp Sword Qi.

"Louguan Ten Thousand Swords!"

The Sword Qi emitted by the Vermilion Flame Sword carried its own fiery energy, and a meteor shower of fire fell from the sky. Wherever it passed, it cracked and burned. The corpses of the guards on the ground were ignited and quickly turned into a sea of fire.

No matter how fast the Moth Emperor is, she can't completely dodge such a comprehensive attack. She sneered, "Do you really think I don't know Swordsmanship?"

He immediately flicked his longsword, and wisps of red threads appeared, spinning rapidly in the air and transforming into a red cloud that stretched and contracted. Within the red cloud, countless streaks of blood-red light could be faintly seen mixed in, flashing with an inexplicable cold gleam.

The scorching Sword Qi pierced and tore through the crimson clouds, sweeping across every inch of the area, but unfortunately, it did not strike anything in reality.

Si Ming suddenly felt a numbness in his back. He turned his sword and slashed, blocking the Moth Emperor was trying to attack from behind.

"This isn't Swordsmanship."

"Anything that uses a sword is Swordsmanship."

With a flicker of her body, the Moth Emperor created hundreds of clones, densely covering all directions, all simultaneously attacking Si Ming at the very center. Each clone carried killing intent, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion. Facing such a powerful attack in the air was more dangerous than on the ground, because one also had to deal with attacks coming from below.

Si Ming raised his left hand, and a ball of light condensed in his palm, containing terrifying destructive power. He squeezed it hard, and it burst into blazing white light, attacking everything indiscriminately, engulfing all the Moth Emperor's clones, and a white sun appeared in mid-air.

"Got you!"

All of the Moth Emperor's clones were destroyed by the white light, leaving only her true form able to withstand it. Instantly, she was locked onto by Si Ming. With a flap of her wings, the Vermilion Bird flew straight away. At this moment, the temperature of the Vermilion Flame Sword had risen to five thousand degrees, causing the air around the sword to distort and become blurry.

A streak of red light snaked and twisted, like a wild snake dancing wildly or a sword falling, piercing the sky and tearing the atmosphere, tightly binding the Moth Emperor forcing her to take the attack. Each clash added a scorched mark to the Wheel of Time Sword.

Si Ming, who pushed the power of the Vermilion Bird Profound Armor to its limit, was no slower than the Moth Emperor. In terms of straight-line flight speed, he was even slightly better. He didn't intend to defeat the Moth Emperor. He was only focused on destroying his opponent's weapon. Without the divine weapon, the opponent would be unable to destroy the Divine Pillar.

Faced with this persistent onslaught, the Moth Emperor had no way to escape and had no chance to unleash her ultimate move. The speed at which the two fought was so fast that a large number of afterimages appeared in the sky, densely packed like an animated film.

The Black Armor General was completely helpless in the face of this type of battle. Although he looked like a robot, he did not have the ability to transform and could only stand on the ground, staring blankly upwards.

"Remote Heaven Society, are you really not planning to cooperate?"

Seeing that her two partners were still standing there doing nothing, the Moth Emperor urged them anxiously.

Nether Lord sighed and said, "The Xuan Kai can't fly, but you can fight on the ground."

"Well?"

The Moth Emperor was clearly taken aback by this alternative method, and immediately revealed her weakness. Si Ming sliced off her ear with his One Sword, and also left burn marks on her face.

"You damned human, you've ruined my appearance once again."

The Moth Emperor was furious, but she did not lose her mind. She decisively descended from the sky and landed beside the Black Armor General.

Meanwhile, just as Nether Lord opened his mouth to speak, Ji Shichen made her move from afar.

"Supreme White Arrow - Fierce Breaking Kill!"
