Above, thunderous dark-cloud vortices churned. As elemental power gradually faded, raindrops began to fall, quickly changing from sparse drizzle into a torrential downpour.
Su Xiao and the Supreme Being stood a hundred meters apart. Neither attacked first. Their auras locked firmly onto each other; the slightest opening would bring ruinous defeat.
Two afterimages shot out, and weapons collided with a boom. It was Su Xiao and the Supreme Being, their bodies enlarged to several hundred meters—or rather, their powerful soul bodies, with two soul blades clashing.
Clack, clack, clack~
Cracks began spreading across the soul blade in the Supreme Being's massive soul hand. With a snap, it shattered, and a soul blade wreathed in wisps of black-blue smoke descended in a slash.
Below, the Supreme Being's golden aura, which had been surging outward, abruptly stalled. Crimson blood aura—violent, ferocious, and highly corrosive—pressed down over it. At a glance, the auras of Su Xiao and the Supreme Being might make one instinctively think the Supreme Being was the good guy.
That was of course incorrect. But then again... Su Xiao could hardly be considered kindhearted either.
An afterimage flashed through the spreading crimson blood aura. Just as the Supreme Being recovered from the daze caused by his damaged soul body, a long blade came at his face.
With a clang, the long blade and thunder blade struck each other. The incoming World Lightning shattered several of Su Xiao's life cores. This was only because he had once stacked his World Lightning resistance high enough. For the same reason, the Supreme Being had barely used World Lightning during this battle.
The instant the power of the slash erupted, the pouring rain evaporated. The enormous dark-cloud vortex above vanished as well, revealing slash marks across the top of the Star Realm.
