No one had expected a Human Race cultivator to overpower a quasi-Saint-level Ancient Divine Beast in close combat—especially Bi Yu, the Sky-Devouring Python, who had cultivated the Sacred Beast Seven-Style Severing Slash and inherited the beast soul. This was surely a first, and the feat left countless cultivators in awe.
Of course, those who knew Ling Tian had used techniques such as controlling the Circulatory Universe, compressing the Golden Buddha Image, and wielding Time Secret Technique and space secret arts understood that it wasn't surprising he could do this. Even so, they marveled that he could seamlessly combine all these techniques and unleash them in an extremely short time.
One strike alone could hardly decide the victor. The two attacked again, neither giving the other a chance to unleash a killing move. Ling Tian couldn't merge his heavy halberd with the void and thereby control the force of heaven and earth, while Bi Yu had no time to use the Sacred Beast Seven-Style Severing Slash. As a result, the force of this exchange was far weaker than before.
Although Ling Tian couldn't merge his heavy halberd with the Circulatory Universe, he used a technique that combined multiple attacks into one, adding considerably to his power. He also continued to attack from above, allowing him to control the void and augment the heavy halberd's force. He still held the advantage in this exchange, and naturally managed to suppress Bi Yu once more. The best proof was that he knocked off several more of her scales and left her with another wound.
Of course, the exchange also sent Ling Tian flying back hundreds of yards, and his injuries were even worse than before. But he could draw on Chaos Qi to heal quickly, and his wounds would recover before his next attack.
