Above Si Province City, a sea of five-colored fire collided with golden tribulation lightning; below, great armies slaughtered one another without pause.
Liang Ruijian battled the Human Emperor Yongkang, their killing clash raging in midair.
Though from the very start of the battle, Liang Ruijian had directly transformed into five-colored sword light, exhausting everything and burning everything away in pursuit of the strongest, greatest burst of power—
The gap between the mortal rank and the immortal rank was not so easily crossed, even if it was only that final step across the threshold.
Thus, from the outset, the Human Emperor Yongkang had held the upper hand. The jade seal wreathed in golden light and golden lightning repeatedly blasted apart and shattered the incoming five-colored sword light.
At this time, Liang Ruijian could only rely on the momentum of the battle formation formed by the Yue Kingdom army led by the Liang Family disciples below, along with drawing the Five-Colored Buddha Light onto himself, to gather himself anew time and again, restore the five-colored sword light, and continue fighting the Human Emperor Yongkang.
And that was with the tribulation lightning in the heavens blocked by the Phoenix Dharma Aspect, while nearly half the Human Emperor Yongkang's methods had been crippled.
Otherwise, Liang Ruijian would never have been able to hold on. He would likely have long since been defeated and killed.

The Human Emperor Yongkang's jade seal was like a whetstone for a sword, and like a blacksmith's hammer forging iron. With every clash and collision, it relentlessly tempered and honed the five-colored sword light
