The seven-colored radiance flashed and struggled frantically, yet it could not halt the axe light in the slightest. The divine light shattered inch by inch, annihilating into countless drifting motes of light.
Though the Heaven-Opening Axe light had dimmed slightly, its momentum remained unabated. Still carrying the resolve to cleave apart all things, it hacked toward the core of the Seven-Colored Firmament Formation Diagram behind it!
Kong Lingxiao let out a muffled grunt. Seeing that the Seven-Colored Divine Light could not stop the Heaven-Opening Axe, yet unable to let Zhang Shuai destroy the Seven-Colored Firmament Killing Formation, he abruptly changed the direction of his massive claws. With a beat of his wings, he instantly blinked into the path of the Heaven-Opening Axe.
Bang—!
Amid an earth-shaking boom, Kong Lingxiao's ten-thousand-zhang true Peacock form was struck head-on by the supreme force capable of splitting heaven and earth. He flew backward uncontrollably for several thousand zhang, smashing through several floating spirit peaks along the way and kicking up clouds of dust and shattered stone.
His pair of seven-colored giant claws were now torn open to the bone. The hard scales covering them shattered and peeled away inch by inch like fragile glass, while the golden essence blood of the Demon King sprayed wildly into the sky, raining down in a miserable shower of golden blood!
Worse still, at the base of his left wing, which had once covered the sky, the lingering force of that terrifying axe light had torn open a ferocious wound hundreds of zhang long and several zhang deep. Seven-colored feathers scattered everywhere, their glow dimming, and even flapping his wings became difficult and labored.
With just one blow, forcibly taking the Heaven-Opening Axe light had severely wounded this late-stage Demon King—the Peacock Clan chief in his true form!
