Zhong Shan swung his blade as Sword Pride thrust out his sword.
Boom!
Amid a deafening clash, the two parted the instant they touched. Sword Pride looked at Zhong Shan in astonishment.
"Something's wrong. Your speed has slowed, and your strength has weakened? What kind of fusion is this?" Sword Pride cried out.
His speed and strength had both weakened? The two had fused by taking the weaker aspects of each?
What kind of fusion was that? Was he joking?
Zhong Shan did not take it to heart. Slowly withdrawing the Undying Sword Dao, he said, "This is only the beginning. You want a magnificent battle? I'll give you one!"
As he spoke, Zhong Shan swung his blade again.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The void exploded into countless fragments once more.
"Something's wrong. Your speed is increasing? Your strength is increasing too?" Sword Pride's eyes lit up.
"It is increasing. And only you can force me to my peak. Continue! I'll grow faster and stronger!" Zhong Shan shouted.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The long blade hacked out at blinding speed. Zhong Shan did not draw upon the Great Dao, the "world," or the power of the Great Zheng World. He relied solely on his own combat strength and clashed with Sword Pride again and again.
"How interesting! Hahaha, good, continue! Let's see whose limits are higher—yours or mine!" Sword Pride laughed heartily.
For a time, saber and sword rose once more.
Within the void, enormous saber and sword rays collided repeatedly. The Black Hole high above, which the countless powerhouses had been watching, still existed, but it had taken on a new form.
They were no longer round. Instead, they became sword-shaped black holes and saber-shaped black holes.
One sword-shaped black hole appeared, followed by ten saber-shaped black holes tearing into existence.
