Great Strength Bull Demon Technique Fifth Layer (Part One)
The Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword transformed into a Giant Sword Hundred Zhang tall, descending from the sky. This Giant Sword Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword an aura of supreme power, and before it, all Swordsmanship in the world seemed to pale in comparison.
The terrifying Giant Sword caused all the powerful figures on Sole Dominance Mountain to widen their eyes. The Hundred Zhang- tall Demon Body and the Asura True Body, coupled with this Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword, made the battle between Zhuge Xiang and Purple Emperor truly worthy of being called the strongest battle of the Sacred War.
Spatial Barrier is arguably the strongest defense. A barrier spans space, seemingly dividing it in two. This seemingly thin Spatial Barrier is more robust than any defensive artifact...
However, the Hundred Zhang- tall Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword fell heavily, and the incomparably sturdy Spatial Barrier became as fragile as an eggshell under the attack of the Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword. It could not even withstand such a brief moment of resistance and shattered directly. The Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword, with its undiminished momentum, directly slammed into the body of the Purple Emperor in his astonished eyes and swallowed him up.
The Nine Great Emperor watched as the Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword easily pierced through the Spatial Barrier, and their faces showed a degree of confusion.
In their view, while the Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword possessed formidable power, the Purple Emperor's Spatial Barrier was even more robust. Yet, the Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword had easily pierced through it, leaving them utterly perplexed. How did the powerful figures on Sole Dominance Mountain view this sword Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword that had pierced the Spatial Barrier? Zhuge Xiang paid no heed. Seeing the Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword engulf the Purple Emperor, Zhuge Xiang showed no sign of relaxation. With a flick of his wrist, the Immortal Slaying Sword transformed into Sea Calming Divine Needle, appearing in Zhuge Xiang palm.
The Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword only consumed half of the Purple Emperor's HP. Although the Purple Emperor was injured, he was not without the ability to fight. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhuge Xiang naturally wanted to expand his advantage.
The Sea Calming Divine Needle, moved at will, transformed into Sky-Supporting Pillar Hundred Zhang tall, crashing down towards the Purple Emperor. This move was Zhuge Xiang's Shattering Strike; the hundreds -Hundred Zhang- long Sea Calming Divine Needle, like a collapsing pillar of heaven, how could the Purple Emperor possibly dodge it?
Shattering Strike: Deals a crushing blow to the target. Requires cultivation level at the Dao Seeking Realm and heavy weaponry. The attack can shatter 50% of the target's defense, lasting 10 seconds, consuming 3000 MP, with a 60-second cooldown. The explosion of the Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword directly engulfed the Purple Emperor. The terrifying explosion shook the entire Sole Dominance Mountain, making it seem as if it might collapse at any moment. The Hundred Zhang -long, pillar-like Sea Calming Divine Needle slammed down. Although the Purple Emperor's figure could not be seen, given the size of this Sea Calming Divine Needle, even with eyes closed, it should have been able to hit the Purple Emperor.
However, just as Zhuge Xiang's Sea Calming Divine Needle crashed into the area of the explosion, suddenly, the space behind Zhuge Xiang distorted greatly. Then, a colossal Sky-Supporting Pillar, tens of meters thick, appeared from the Void and crashed down towards Zhuge Xiang. Wasn't this enormous pillar none other than Zhuge Xiang's Sea Calming Divine Needle?
"Oh no..." Zhuge Xiang's heart tightened as his seemingly certain strike suddenly took such a turn.
Locked onto by the attack of his own Sea Calming Divine Needle, the terrifying power of which made Zhuge Xiang himself change color in horror. He tried to dodge, but it was too late. The Sea Calming Divine Needle, which was dozens of feet thick, had already slammed heavily into Zhuge Xiang's body. Although Zhuge Xiang's Demon Body was huge, he was still forced to stagger back several steps under this blow.
"Ding! Defense reduced by 50%, duration 60 seconds".
Although the Shattering Strike move has no offensive power, Zhuge Xiang's HP did not decrease at all after taking this incredibly powerful blow. However, the Mechanical System Prompt made Zhuge Xiang's heart sink.
Unexpectedly, the seemingly inevitable strike landed on him, reducing his defensive capabilities by 50% for a full 60 seconds. This was a terrible blow for Zhuge Xiang.
In a battle between experts, things can change in an instant. A full 60 seconds is an extremely long time for powerhouses like Zhuge Xiang and Purple Emperor. With his defensive capabilities reduced by half, and considering Purple Emperor's attack power, Zhuge Xiang felt a heavy weight in his heart just thinking about it.
"Void Burial"
As if things weren't going to go wrong, just as Zhuge Xiang's defensive capabilities were weakened by half by his own Shattering Strike, a flash of space appeared, and the Purple Emperor appeared in front of Zhuge Xiang, wielding the Void Blade in his hand repeatedly.
Although Purple Emperor's injuries appeared to be far more severe than Zhuge Xiang's, his Void Burial Technique was something even Thunder Flame Emperor couldn't withstand, let alone Zhuge Xiang in his current state.
Purple Emperor's face was deathly pale, clearly indicating that his injuries were extremely severe. The Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword had just reduced his HP by half, and the Space Distortion, Zhuge Xiang's Shattering Strike, as well as the Void Burial technique he used in his Asura True Body state, had consumed an enormous amount of energy. The Void within a radius of several thousand meters had been forcibly shattered by Purple Emperor.
In the previous battle against Thunder Flame Emperor, Purple Emperor only shattered the space within a hundred meters around him. However, in his Asura True Body and Demon Body state, the range of the Void Burial move was a hundred times greater than when he dealt with Thunder Flame Emperor. The space within a thousand meters collapsed, causing many powerful figures on Sole Dominance Mountain to change color in horror.
Seeing the space within a thousand meters collapse, Zhuge Xiang felt a chill run down his spine. An unprecedented sense of crisis gripped his heart like a pair of cold claws. However, with the surrounding space completely collapsed, there was nowhere for Zhuge Xiang hide, let alone resist.
"Decoy Straw Man!" Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Zhuge Xiang used his Decoy Straw Man Skill, sacrificing the Decoy Straw Man to shatter and thus avoiding the terrifying Void Burial.
"Sun Chasing Step!" With the Decoy Straw Man used to take his own life, Zhuge Xiang activated the active effect of the Sun Chasing Boots. In a flash, he moved a thousand meters and escaped from the Void Burial.
Purple Emperor unleashed the Void Burial technique, watching as Zhuge Xiang's physical body shattered in the collapse of the Void. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw Zhuge Xiang's body turn into countless flying straw fragments, his heart sank.
The Purple Emperor had seen the Decoy Straw Man Skill before, but he never expected that he would be fooled by it.
With a quick glance, the Purple Emperor quickly located Zhuge Xiang's true form, which happened to be outside the range of the Void Burial. This made the Purple Emperor's heart sink. However, there was no time for the Purple Emperor to do anything, because at this moment, the spatial collapse effect of the Void Burial swept the Purple Emperor himself into it.
The Void Burial forcibly shatters the surrounding space. This is an attack technique that does not distinguish between friend and foe. It is used to kill the opponent. However, the Purple Emperor himself, relying on his control over space, forcibly survived the collapse of the Space Burial. The Thunder Flame Emperor, the head of the Five Emperors, died under this move.
Purple Emperor opened his mouth, took the Void Blade in his mouth, clasped his hands together, and used all his spatial abilities to stabilize the collapsing space around him, forcibly resisting the terrifying power of the Void Burial. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his face was pale. As his size increased, the range that the Void Burial had to cover naturally also increased.
"Now's the time!" Seeing that even the Purple Emperor was struggling to withstand the attacks of his Void Burial, Zhuge Xiang's eyes narrowed, and then he continued to use the Sun Chasing Step...
Originally, Zhuge Xiang had already exceeded the range of the Void Burial by relying on the Sun Chasing Step. However, at this moment, instead of retreating, Zhuge Xiang advanced and used the Sun Chasing Step to return to the range of the Void Burial in an instant, arriving in front of the Purple Emperor.
Seeing Zhuge Xiang suddenly return to the Void Burial and appear before him, the Purple Emperor's pupils contracted sharply. He couldn't understand why he had foolishly come back in after Zhuge Xiang had already escaped. However, the Purple Emperor quickly understood Zhuge Xiang's purpose.
"The Heaven Collapsing Earth Shattering!"
Zhuge Xiang unleashed the terrifying power of the Sea Calming Divine Needle in his hand. The Hundred Zhang -long Sea Calming Divine Needle slammed down fiercely towards the Purple Emperor. The overwhelming force was terrifying. The Purple Emperor, who was already struggling to Void Burial, could hardly withstand Zhuge Xiang's attack that was like kicking someone when they were down.
Whoosh whoosh...
The Void Burial was chaotic. Although Zhuge Xiang had avoided the terrifying collapse of space thanks to his previous Sun Chasing Step, now that space had completely collapsed, the turbulent spatial currents were raging wildly. Zhuge Xiang's body was like half thrown into a meat grinder, with blood and flesh flying everywhere. His HP were also rapidly decreasing, and his defensive capabilities were weakened by half. In this spatial turbulence, Zhuge Xiang could only last for a few breaths at most before turning into dust.
Hiss...
Seeing this scene, the powerful figures on Sole Dominance Mountain gasped in astonishment, their eyes filled with admiration as they looked at Zhuge Xiang.
Who dares face the spatial turbulence? Watching Zhuge Xiang being torn apart like a thousand knives within that turbulence, all for the sake of defeating the Purple Emperor, who wouldn't be horrified by his ruthlessness towards himself?
"You want to kill me? Do you think I'm so easy to kill!" Facing Zhuge Xiang's Heaven Collapsing Earth Shattering, the Purple Emperor, who was struggling to hold on, had a resolute look in his eyes.
