Dongfang Qintai had already made it clear that Lin Xuan's combat strength was exceedingly formidable. After stepping into Half-Step Ascension, he could slay powerful foes with two immortal rivers. Zhuang Yu believed this without the slightest doubt.
If Dongfang Ji had not approached Lin Xuan, he might still have had a sliver of hope of escaping. But now that he had drawn near, he was truly delivering himself to death.
"Well said!"
"Don't say it next time!"
Lin Xuan grinned, radiant light rising around him as the Kun Extremity Mystic Essence unfolded, its profound aura enveloping his entire body.
Facing Dongfang Ji, whose ferocious might came crashing down like an entire sea, he merely raised a hand casually to meet the descending one-handed hammer.
"Hm?"
Even Dongfang Ji was stunned, his expression darkening to the extreme.
"You're courting death!"
The humiliation he felt abruptly intensified, and Dongfang Ji's output of power became even more terrifying.
Above the immortal rivers, immortal light burst into flames, while the azure sea let out a dreadful roar.
Space shattered continuously. Even the pitch-black void exploded apart, and centered on him, a vast vacuum zone appeared within the Fiend Domain.
The one-handed hammer reached Lin Xuan's palm in an instant.
Yet the scene Dongfang Ji had imagined, of Lin Xuan being smashed apart, did not appear.
Instead, his one-handed hammer halted, and the terrifying power brought by the vast mystic essence was continuously dissolved.
No, that was not right. It was not merely being dissolved. After being dissolved, it seemed to be transformed as well, falling completely under Lin Xuan's control.
"This..."
Dongfang Ji's scalp went numb at once. Looking at Lin Xuan's half-smiling face, he finally began to carefully sense that radiant brilliance.
"Gulp!"
Suddenly, he swallowed hard, and a cry escaped his lips
