Within the Evil-Extermination Mystic Net battlefield, two figures streaked across the sky like meteors, crossing paths amid dazzling flashes that burst in all directions. At that moment, all was silent, followed immediately by an earth-shaking explosive boom. The terrifying blast shook the entire pocket dimension until it seemed on the verge of collapse.
As the radiance faded and the thunderous noise gradually subsided, the two figures hovered in the void, facing each other.
Chi You, nearly ten feet tall, stood with his hair blazing upward in fury. He gripped the divine weapon Tiger Soul, radiating a savage aura. Amid his towering presence, one could almost hear the cries of slaughter and smell the stench of blood, creating an oppressive sensation that was almost unbearable.
Opposite him was another aura that was in no way inferior—if anything, it was even more powerful.
"This Flame God... What in the world is going on?"
Everyone watching the battle saw their expressions change dramatically.
After the light faded, Gu Sheng's appearance had changed completely. His transformed eyes could not be seen clearly by anyone except Chi You, who stood directly opposite him, but the other changes were striking enough.
His originally short crimson hair had become long hair that nearly reached his waist, fluttering behind him with an ethereal air. It was an especially eye-catching pure white.
His forehead seemed to have two hornlike protrusions, making him look as though he possessed extraordinary natural features. He now wore a black-and-white robe covered in profound magatama patterns.
Nine spheres that resembled black holes floated behind him in a ring. Both his arms and legs had turned black, and he held the Staff of the Sun and Moon, which seemed to be made from the same material as the black spheres.
