Hearing the Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon's words, fury surged from Xiang Yuan's heart. Gripping the No Calamity Sword, he charged ahead at the forefront.
This time, he did not keep Ji Wuzhou shielded before him, but rushed straight to the very front.
Clang!!
The sword's clear cry rang through the nine heavens.
A golden sun slowly rose from the blade's edge. Within the blazing sun, the phantom of a three-legged golden crow could vaguely be seen spreading its wings and crying out. As its wings unfurled, boundless waves of searing flame surged forth, and a terrifying heat capable of incinerating all things spread alongside the golden radiance.
Before him soared the blazing sun; behind him shone golden light of merit.
The sacred, solemn golden radiance intertwined with the fierce sun that could burn all things away, forming a double killing move that most strongly countered the Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon. The demonic aura winding around Other-Transformation Heaven rapidly melted away with a hiss.
His demonic eye abruptly contracted!
Other-Transformation Heaven had only just entered the Dry Abyss Realm and had yet to determine the node of the river of time—how much time had passed since his last clash with Xiang Yuan. The latter only knew that Xiang Yuan's strength had advanced tremendously, more than a hundred times greater than it had been in the Great Void Realm.
The Dry Abyss Realm's upper limit far surpassed that of the Great Void Realm. The strength Other-Transformation Heaven could manifest here was sufficiently formidable, and Huixing, whom he possessed, had already been one of the era's strongest. Now that he wielded both Buddhist and demonic power, he had ways to respond even when countered.
At the very least, he would not repeat his old mistakes and get crowd-controlled to death by Chan'er all the way
