"Trifling tricks, sever!" the Ghost Emperor snorted.
Screech~
The Ghost Emperor Slaying Sword tore through the void and slashed toward the falling Black Sun. Its sharp sword light neatly carved a thin seam through the Black Sun, splitting it in two.
Then, with a return stroke and an upward slash, it likewise cut apart the Destructive Fire Lotus.
A trace of disdain had just appeared on the Ghost Emperor's face. "My Ghost Emperor Slaying Sword can sever anything."
Before he could finish speaking—
"Explode!" Two voices rang out at once.
"Not good!" The Ghost Emperor's pupils contracted. Without hesitation, he drew back his sword to block.
Whoosh!
With a sweep of his sword-wielding hand, the Ghost Emperor Slaying Sword traced a disk of countless sword lights before him. It spun rapidly, impermeable as a shield.
Boom! Boom!
Two earth-shaking explosions suddenly erupted.
Two violent shockwaves, mixed with flames that filled the sky, swept mightily across the heavens. Wherever they passed, the void itself ceased to exist.
Vast spiritual power erupted and collided!
Layer upon layer of spiritual energy waves spread outward in frantic ripples in every direction.
Clang~
A streak of black sword light cleaved through the sea of flames and pierced toward the heavens.
Three towering imperial figures stood amid the raging aftermath that filled the skies.
Both sides had recognized the other's extraordinary strength. They had encountered formidable opponents.
The Ghost Emperor's gaze was incomparably gloomy.
Wei Yang and Xiao Yan, however, smiled.
That probing exchange had confirmed it for them.
Sure enough, the gap between Spirit Rank Heavenly Sovereigns and Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereigns was not as insurmountable as they had imagined.
Wei Yang compared them inwardly. The Ghost Emperor's Heavenly Venerate Spiritual Body was more vast and powerful, drawing in far more Heaven and Earth Force.
