Chapter 154
Clang--
The Sea of Blossoming Swords rang out with a resounding clang, this time the sword draw was crisper and more powerful than ever before.
Yan Qing raised the Sea of Blossoming Swords high in his hand, roaring unwillingly at the side:
"Stand up! Are you all afraid of this? As the elite of the Cloud Knights, are you going to lay down your arms and watch that bastard walk towards our home?! Are you going to stand by and watch your parents, relatives, friends, and neighbors be trampled on?!"
Yan Qing's voice was incredibly loud.
His impassioned words contained a firm will that could move people's hearts.
Encouraged by the young Vanguard, the speechless Cloud Knights and the Vanguard all looked over.
"Don't let these wicked creatures wreak havoc! Stand up and protect your loved ones! Fight bravely like heroes! Only then can we usher in victory! Let's go! Let's go save the General!!!"
Hearing this emotionally charged roar, the Cloud Cavalry, who had lost their fighting spirit and collapsed to the ground, blankly raised their heads and looked at Yan Qing was standing at their feet with a sword formation lit up and roaring in unwilling anger.
Even knowing it was beyond his control, and even with sweat streaming down his face, Yan Qing stood straighter than ever before, and the aura emanating from the whistling longsword in his hand was stronger than ever before.
The fighting spirit and determination gradually spread.
Seemingly drawing strength from his retreating figure, the Cloud Knights, who had previously lost their will to fight, rekindled a faint flame in their eyes. They gritted their teeth and desperately squeezed out the power from their bodies, helping each other to their feet.
With a little help, the Cloud Cavalry slowly stood up. Although they were unsteady and leaning on their spears, they still managed to stand behind Yan Qing.
Yes, Yan Qing is right, they are the front line protecting Luofu.
If we retreat here, wouldn't we be deserters?
But, but, can they really fight against that being? She just defeated General Jing Yuan... Such emotions still lingered in people's hearts.
Everyone hesitated, gasping for breath, their bodies drenched in cold sweat.
Just as Yan Qing clenched his sweat-drenched hands and was about to rush forward, he suddenly felt a familiar force pat his shoulder.
"It's so gratifying to see you've grown up, Yan Qing."
He turned around and saw Bai Jun's relieved smile.
Men don't need much conversation. Bai Jun simply patted his shoulder lightly, then brushed past him and walked towards the dark figure in the distance, leaving only his back view.
"Please step back to a safe distance, because I'm about to unleash my full firepower."
The moment those words were spoken, the Sacred Judgment of Heavenly Fire appeared in his hand, and the temperature in the air instantly rose to an exaggerated degree.
He stepped forward, and the ground beneath his feet cracked open, unleashing a torrent of blazing flames that swept outwards, incinerating everything in their path. The dark ocean ahead began to boil, engulfing the flames within hundreds of meters and instantly evaporating nearly a meter of water.
"Heavenly Fire-- "
With the full force of the calamity's attack.
"Draw!"
The devastating barrage, shattering all confusion, sorrow, and cunning, was launched high into the sky.
Chapter 190 Heavenly Fire Annihilation
"Heavenly Fire-- "
The intense heat surged from below like an endless wave.
"Draw!"
Feeling the terrifying temperature beneath his feet, like a volcanic eruption, and the Sun radiance contained within, along with the sword energy imbued with a firestorm rushing towards him, "What!?" Realizing this Phantylia immediately raised the Abomination Dragon's arms with astonishing speed, barely managing to block it.
An endless stream of flames converged.
A loud gust of wind arose.
The Abomination Dragon grabbed the raging barrage of fire with both hands, its arms, its steel-hard Dragon Scale, and its dark flesh and bones were torn apart in the blink of an eye.
The sword energy, imbued with raging flames, shone brightly, its power surging even further, sure to sever the enemy's body.
The next second,
Black fluid gushed from the upper body of the Abomination Dragon, and an unprecedented roar erupted from its ferocious maw.
Even Phantylia's body was bombarded by the violent power of the Calamity Fire, his face contorted. He couldn't help but unleash the "Destruction" Lotus Fire, along with the Abomination Dragon's legs, which resembled huge withered tree trunks, deeply plunging into the seabed. His entire body erupted with terrifying monstrous strength. The two combined their power to shatter the sword energy of the Calamity Fire.
The flickering flames danced in the air, while the melody of the gale gradually subsided.
When Huanlong came to her Phantylia, her first reaction was to look at her feet, but there was nothing there. When she looked down at her hands, she suddenly realized that Jing Yuan, who had been held in her palm, was also gone.
In the fleeting moment amidst the surging waves and roaring roar, Phantylia's gaze locked onto the shore of Scalegorge Waterscape, where the culprit behind all this was located.
"How are you?"
Bai Jun helped Jing Yuan land on the shore of Scalegorge Waterscape. Looking at the weak-looking Jing Yuan, he asked softly.
"Haha, it's alright, I can still keep fighting after a little cleaning up."
The dripping, crimson droplets continued to spread the pool of blood at his feet.
"Look at your current state, no matter how you try to argue, it won't be convincing."
Bai Jun sighed, denying Jing Yuan's stubborn claim.
At the same time, the emerald green light emanating from his hand, imbuing it with Abundance aura, largely healed Jing Yuan's injuries.
"Although I've healed your physical injuries, the mental exhaustion is irreversible. Your priority right now is to take care of yourself. Don't even think about summoning the Divine Monarch again. You'll die if you do that, you know? There's no need for pointless sacrifice."
Bai Jun ignored Jing Yuan's explanation, forcefully handed him over to Yan Qing who was waiting on the shore, and then turned and went to the battlefield alone.
"That guy stole a portion of Path power of 'Permanence' and has now degenerated into a monster formed from a mixture of the Path of Destruction, Abundance, and Permanence. He is far beyond the level of an ordinary Emanator. Please be very careful."
Jing Yuan was helped to his feet by Yan Qing's arm. Before Bai Jun left, he mustered his strength to remind him.
"I see."
Bai Jun's figure vanished from the spot in an instant, arriving in front of Phantylia.
The sky, shrouded in dark clouds, hung low and seemed to be about to collapse, as gloomy as the end of the world. At the boundary between the sky and the sea, which was as dark as the sky, the vast and boundless sea world seemed to consist of only the two of them.
"No need for self-introduction. I know you, one of the Lord Ravager under the Aeon of Destruction Nanook. There's no need to know your specific name; I'm too lazy to remember it."
"You're so arrogant. I think your name is Bai Jun, right? Heh, what a nice name."
Bai Jun stood on the dark sea as if walking on flat ground. Such arrogance of standing on water with one's body seemed unacceptable. Phantylia seemed to sense danger and narrowed her lifeless golden eyes. A vortex of Destruction gradually gathered at her fingertips, and the Abomination Dragon let out a series of low roars.
"Let's talk before that."
Bai Jun met Phantylia Long's gaze as he looked down at him, and at the same time summoned Sacred Judgment of Heavenly Fire once more, its sword blade pointing towards the sea. He spoke calmly without changing his expression.
"... That's interesting. Tell me about it; I'm quite curious to hear what you have to say."
The flickering arcs of Destruction electricity slowly subsided. Phantylia, as if intrigued by something unusual, gently cupped her beautiful profile in her hand and looked at Bai Jun with a mysterious smile.
"You're the one who secretly manipulated Buli person prison and infiltrate the Prison of Deep Seclusion to steal the Shuhu Fragment, aren't Mangus?"
These calm words were like a pebble thrown into a lake, completely Phantylia by Huanlong. Suppressing her curiosity, she raised an eyebrow and smiled disdainfully.
"So what if it is, and so what if it isn't?"
Phantylia had expected Bai Jun to press for answers, argue back, or even lose his temper, but his reaction was rather calm. Bai Jun simply gripped the hilt of the Sacred Judgment of Heavenly Fire sword with one hand, the blade pointing towards the sky, and a cruel smile played on his lips.
"Then let's assume it was you... I hold grudges, so I'll return the favor from last time as well."
When Bai Jun opened his eyes again, his azure eyes were completely stained with gold. Unlike any other time, Bai Jun did not hold back at all. With the complete release of his abilities, pure and enormous powerful force surged out of his body at an explosive speed.
Stretch higher, stretch higher, keep striving to reach new heights!
The aura of that tiny figure, which was incomparable to the enormous figure of the Abomination Dragon, was rising at a visible speed. In an instant, the aura emanating from that figure standing on the sea surface was no less than that of the dark shadow of the Abomination Dragon.
Her thin clothes were burned to ashes in the vortex of the fire, and her silver hair, which had reached her shoulders, swayed incessantly in the howling wind.
At first glance, Bai Jun did not appear to have changed at all, nor did he grow taller or more muscular as before. However, the heat that shone like a star continued to gather in his body, as if compressing all his strength to the extreme, resulting in an exaggerated increase of hundreds or thousands of times.
He swung the sword hilt, such a simple action, the sound of the sword energy being born was like an exploding wave, the speed of breaking the sound barrier was so fast that even Phantylia couldn't react in time. The wildly howling white sword light, along with the part of Feixiao that she had schemed against, instantly left a hideous wound next to Phantylia's cheek.
"What... you... you actually dared to hurt my face!?"
A wet touch came from her cheek. In disbelief, Phantylia reached out and touched her cheek. Blue blood was flowing on her fingers. As if waking from a dream, she roared in fury.
"Unforgivable! You insignificant ant, don't think you can be so arrogant just because you have that power! Don't be so haughty!!!"
The terror of the Abomination Dragon is not just the mental pollution it brings. Even disregarding the source of the pollution, the pure power contained within its body is still enough to Destruction the entire Luofu. Now, only half of its body has emerged from the Scalegorge Waterscape, yet it has still destroyed a third of the territory.
Faced with enormous claws that could cover the sky, Bai Jun didn't even bother to dodge.
He endured all the attacks, calmly continuing his sword-wielding movements, each strike possessing a terrifying impact no less than that of the Abomination Dragon at full power.
"Arrogance? Don't get me wrong, I think the exact opposite of you... After all, who would have any extra feelings for an ant? I only feel pity for you."
Another slash that tore through space, this time the Abomination Dragon's arms were completely severed, leaving it only able to roar angrily and retreat repeatedly.
"Don't be so arrogant, you brat--!!!"
Boundless rage overwhelmed her reason; the lingering heat and intensity of her fury burned through her very being.
Then, before her eyes, a blue lotus flower opened, and the Destruction cannon instantly materialized. At the same time, the Abomination Dragon opened its maw, and dark flames gathered, its Permanence rage about to erupt with dragon breath.
"That dragon can even use its breath attack!?"
The instantaneous chain attack shocked Jing Yuan and Yan Qing, who were watching nearby.
The breath of the super-powerful Abomination Dragon was already exaggerated enough, and then there was the full-force attack of the Emanator of Destruction. Even a fool would know that the power of this move was far beyond what an ordinary Emanator match. Even Jing Yuan wouldn't dare say that he could survive this attack; perhaps only someone at the level of a marshal would be qualified to fight against it.
A giant cyan lotus flower floating in mid-air overflowed with countless black and red lightning bolts flashing in arcs.
The Abomination Dragon's twisted head pointed downwards, and a jet-black flame gathered in its mouth roared down.
The forces Path Permanence and Destruction converge and merge, about to engulf Bai Jun with a deafening roar.
However, the moment Bai Jun raised the Sacred Judgment of Heavenly Fire high, the greatsword flashed with its brightest light.
Like the brightest star in the endless night, he then swung his greatsword.
The surging flames shot into the sky, their shimmering crimson slicing through the endless darkness into a straight line.
In an instant, the raging fire storm and the thunderous dragon's breath clashed.
The next moment, a towering explosion engulfed the Scalegorge Waterscape. Like a volcanic eruption, violent and intense flames burst forth in all directions from the space where the two sides were fighting. The sudden shockwave ripped a huge hole in the clouds above the sky, and the burning afterglow turned all the remaining dark clouds into gray clouds.
The intense light etched a crimson spot in everyone's eyes, and from a distance, the bright ring of fiery clouds that gradually dimmed from the center to the edges resembled a boiling volcano.
As the shock that shook the entire Luofu subsided, the terrifying, apocalyptic power instantly swept away the overwhelming dragon breath and lightning. The scales of the Abomination Dragon were completely burned away, leaving horrifying wounds on Phantylia's body.
Bai Jun was in no better shape. His body was crackling with black and red arcs of electricity, and the dark dragon breath had burned away almost 80% of his skin, leaving behind a charred and mangled body.
"Hahaha, you are very strong, far stronger than I imagined, but you are ultimately human, while I am a perfect dragon!"
Phantylia propped up her half-body, laughing almost maniacally. Abundance light emanated from her body, repairing her injuries one by one according to their severity. Within dozens of breaths, she had returned to her previous perfect state.
This is the powerful characteristic of "Abundance".
This is also one of the reasons why Huanlong has been obsessed with trying to obtain it for Phantylia long.
"I'll return those words to you verbatim: you're nothing but a pathetic, ugly monster, while I am the flawless 'Sun.'"
Bai Jun's voice rang out calmly and slowly.
Then, Phantylia's eyes widened.
She saw that Bai Jun's body was also radiating an Abundance glow, but the only difference was that the emerald flames covering his body seemed to be even more intense. In less than a blink of an eye, the charred scabs fell off, and his fair skin reappeared before her eyes.
Bai Jun simply stretched his shoulders, picked up the Sacred Judgment of Heavenly Fire again, and looked at Phantylia in the sky with his emotionless golden eyes, as if the two sides on the field had switched, and Bai Jun, who was calmly looking up at Phantylia, was the one who was high above.
"Come on, let's continue. This battle will not be tolerated until one side is completely dead."
"Wait, wait! Let's talk!"
Before Bai Jun could launch his attack, Phantylia, with a hint of goodwill, called a halt to his advances.
Oh dear, why would she utter such a sound that was almost tantamount to begging for mercy?
What should we call this feeling?
Was it fear? No, no, no, Phantylia didn't think she would lose.
Is it sympathy, admiration, or regret?
However, none of them match.
There was only one answer—she was completely attracted to the other person's "Sun".
She had to admit that what Bai Jun had said was true; she had indeed manipulated Buli person the prison and steal the fragments of the Abomination Dragon's flesh and blood. However, some details and ideas differed.
