The blade had yet to fall.
Heaven and earth were already awash in scarlet.
The Cloud-Treading Great Sage's arms seemed unable to bear the blade's weight... Great swaths of blood and torn flesh burst apart, devoured by the red light on the blade before they could reach the ground.
"Just... die!!!"
The Cloud-Treading Great Sage's face twisted, billowing flames of blood pouring from his seven orifices.
Sensing the murderous intent behind her, Jiang Yuechu glanced back with a hint of surprise.

Blade and halberd collided.
Ripples spread in successive waves, radiating in every direction from the point of impact.
Wherever they passed, fierce winds howled.

The might of their battle was plain to imagine.

The Cloud-Treading Great Sage's arms had already exploded into a skyful of bloody mist, yet he braced the blade's shaft with the two broken bones.

Hum-
The red radiance instantly overwhelmed the halberd's original crimson-gold hue.
Jiang Yuechu's brows drew together slightly, her gaze piercing the swirling mist to settle on where the two weapons met.
The Great Wilderness Star-Shattering Halberd was forged from extraordinary materials and contained a Spirit Imprint. It was a genuine treasure
