Purple Star Starfield. A heaven-shaking sword cleaved through the darkness, and the cosmos trembled.
Facing the ultimate sword, the Lord of Darkness's expression shifted slightly. He drove the Darkness Power within him to its limit, and the phantom of a colossal ferocious beast appeared behind him, its roar shaking the heavens.
The two forces collided, changing the color of heaven and earth. A massive gash opened across the Lord of Darkness's chest, flesh and blood flying as white bone became visible.
A black Origin Pearl manifested, covered in fine cracks. Clearly struck by the sword intent, it showed signs of instability.
Above the void, the divine sword shattered completely under the impact of Darkness Power. In the blink of an eye, a figure in white flashed past, two fingers joined into a sword as she pierced toward the Pearl of Darkness.
"Urgh!"
The sword fingers pierced through his body, shattering the pearl with one strike. Air currents around the Lord of Darkness violently surged, his Origin Pearl breaking apart as berserk dark energy gushed out, making the starry sky quiver.
His attempt to break into the Creation Realm had fallen short at the final step. Blood continuously spilled from the Lord of Darkness's mouth, and he could no longer even stand steadily.
"My Lord!"
At that moment, beyond the battlefield, a streak of black sword light tore through the air. It swept away the Phoenix City Sword God, whose strength was nearly exhausted, and fled with the severely wounded Lord of Darkness.
Before the Purple Star Starfield, the Phoenix City Sword God watched the black sword light vanish into the distance but did not pursue.
After the great battle, the starry sky was scarred beyond recognition. Nearly half the starfield had been destroyed, and the heavens had dimmed into desolation.
