Lan Jinghe raised her left arm to block.
Clang!
The Scepter collided with her arm, Divine Power rippling outward as an invisible shockwave spread. Even the floating meteor fragments in the distance were shattered by the impact.
Both their arms went numb, and they each drifted several yards backward.
There was no air resistance in the vacuum. The aftershock of every collision could travel an enormous distance.
The two of them streaked back and forth through the starry sky like streams of light.
Lan Jinghe's attacks were vicious. Abyssal power corroded everything, while demonic lightning distorted space itself with its explosions.
Chen Xinjie's foundation was profound. Tidal power surged without end, and his Scepter moved in an impenetrable blur, defending without the slightest gap.
For a time, the two were evenly matched.
Under the starlight, one black and one blue figure collided again and again. The exploding halos of energy resembled stars going supernova, dazzling and deadly from afar.
As they fought, Lan Jinghe gradually figured out Chen Xinjie's style.
His foundation was solid, his defense sturdy, and his attacks unceasing—a typical steady and methodical approach.
The longer this dragged on, the worse it would be for her.
She had to end this quickly.
Lan Jinghe formed a plan.
She suddenly forced Chen Xinjie back, and the space behind her twisted slightly.
Deep-Sea Demon Lord's Descent
A phantom of a million-year demonic whale slowly emerged behind her. Though it was only an outline, the pressure of that ancient magical beast still made the entire starry sky seem to freeze.
The phantom coiled behind her as the demonic whale slowly opened its jaws.
Demon Empress's Wrath
Three powers erupted at once.
Deep-Sea Undercurrent, Vortex Water Pressure, and Destructive Violet Thunder condensed through the demonic whale's mouth into a massive purple-black beam
