Countless Blade Lights sliced through the void, but with Bai Jinglei's position lost, they struck empty space.
Even a slash with the power to cleave open heaven was meaningless if it couldn't hit its target.
Since his journey to the Abyssal Ground, Lu Yang's understanding and application of the Martial Dao had made great strides.
Though his opponent had suddenly vanished, he remained perfectly calm.
With just one glance, he had roughly figured out how Bai Jinglei's move worked.
"Scatter!"
Lu Yang gave a light command and swept his hand. Above the void, the thousand-mile-long Blade Light that pierced the heavens instantly scattered: one became two, two became three, three became hundreds and thousands, then tens of thousands!
The towering Blade Light split in an instant into countless tiny blades. They surged upward against the flow, soaring into the sky and streaking toward every star glimmering across the firmament.

Swish, swish, swish!
A surging flood of Saber Qi rushed toward the stars above.
Just as he'd expected, a white figure suddenly shot out from one of the azure stars in the heavens. Spear light flashed as he shattered countless blades, carving a broad, open road for himself through the endless river of Blade Light.
"Found you!" Lu Yang laughed, sending a slash of Blade Light tearing across the sky toward Bai Jinglei's back.

Before long, the rising Blade Lights forced him to reappear.
The two fought across the air, countering each move in turn.
Above them, saber and spear flashed as explosions rang out
