boom--!
A terrifying energy storm exploded in the center of the hall, with crimson flames clashing and annihilating against the extreme cold of frost and shadows that devoured light.
The ground, forged from a single piece of black gold stone, groaned under the weight, and spiderweb-like cracks spread wildly in all directions from the point of impact.
"Roar!"
Zhao Y ehan let out a roar that sounded inhuman.
His twisted and bloated body had now completely transformed into a monster stitched together.
Its left half was covered in stark white ice crystals, while its right half was shrouded in writhing shadows.
Two completely different Demonic Power at the Earth Realm Fourth Level were forcibly combined by his Earth Realm Fifth Level cultivation, unleashing a terrifying power that was infinitely close to that of a Grandmaster of the Heaven Realm.
One punch!
The fist energy, mixed with frost and shadow, was like a falling black star, and it actually tore apart the Crimson Scarlet Yang Heavenly Eagle's torrent of flames!
"Bah!"
The Scarlet Yang Heavenly Eagle let out a painful cry, its massive phantom was shaken and forced to retreat, its crimson-gold feathers dimming slightly.
Zhao Y ehan pressed his advantage relentlessly, transforming into a black and white blur as he lunged forward, engaging the burning giant eagle in fierce combat.
Frost freezes wings, shadows corrode divine light.
In an instant, he actually managed to suppress the Scarlet Yang Heavenly Eagle, who was at the Earth Realm Fifth Level, by relying on this borrowed violent power!
"We won! The Grand Elder is going to win!"
"Hahaha, the era of Zhao Kuohai is over!"
Upon witnessing this scene, the members of the Soul Fusion Faction were overjoyed.
As long as Zhao Y ehan defeats Zhao Kuohai, they will achieve a meteoric rise to power, and all the resources of the Heavenly Evolution Mountain Manor will be at their disposal!
In contrast, the members of the Soul Control faction all looked ashen-faced.
The siblings Zhao Chengyu and Zhao Nan clenched their fists so tightly they didn't dare blink, their hearts feeling as if they were being gripped by an invisible hand, almost stopping in their tracks.
Father, is he going to lose?
On the side of the main seat, Elder Qingyue of the Azure Sword Manor also had a solemn expression on her face.
She muttered to herself, "A madman... a complete madman! Forcibly fusing the souls of two demon servants with conflicting attributes is tantamount to planting a volcano within herself that could explode at any moment!"
Li Xi's palms were sweating as she gripped the sword hilt. Her gaze unconsciously drifted to the black-clad boy in the corner, who had remained calm and detached throughout.
Su Yu remained standing quietly, watching the earth-shattering battle unfold before him, his deep eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.
"Using one's body as a furnace to forcibly refine one's two souls will lead to an unstable foundation, a clash between spirit and flesh, and ultimately, self-destruction."
In Su Yu's mind, only this cold judgment flashed through his mind.
It's as if his judgment is being confirmed.
The situation on the field quietly reversed amid Zhao Y ehan's relentless attacks.
As the battle intensified, the two powerful Demonic Power within him began to show signs of repulsion.
The frost and shadows on his body were no longer clearly distinct, but began to erode each other, emitting a terrifying "sizzling" sound.
Grotesque cracks spread across his twisted skin.
"Ugh--!"
Zhao Y ehan's attack faltered for a moment, and the roar he let out was tinged with uncontrollable pain.
Chance!
A glint of light flashed in Zhao Kuohai's eyes!
This is the moment he's been waiting for!
"Uh--!"
The Scarlet Yang Heavenly Eagle, which had been passively defending, seemed to receive a command and let out a cry that could shatter metal and split rocks.
It no longer clashed head-on with its opponent. Its wings, burning with crimson-gold flames, suddenly flapped, and its massive body transformed into a streak of light, circling behind Zhao Y ehan with incredible agility!
" Heaven-Burning Claw!"
Zhao Kuohai pointed his fingers like a sword and slashed at Zhao Y ehan's back from afar!
The Scarlet Yang Heavenly Eagle's enormous claws were instantly enveloped by endless crimson-gold flames, its color turning from gold to white, and the temperature suddenly soared to a terrifying level, even scorching the space around it and causing it to distort slightly.
This claw strike precisely targeted the core point where the two Demonic Power within Zhao Y ehan's body clashed most violently!
"No!"
Zhao Y ehan sensed a deadly crisis. He wanted to turn around and defend himself, but the surging Demonic Power within him was like a wild horse, making every movement of his body extremely stiff.
Pfft!
The white, fiery claws tore through his Demonic Power shield with overwhelming force and slammed into his back.
boom!!!
A devastating burst of fiery energy exploded within his body!
"Aaaaaah--!"
Zhao Y ehan let out the most shrill scream of his life. His grotesque, stitched-together body burst open like a balloon inflated to its limit!
The Demonic Power of frost and shadow spiraled out of control, mixing with flesh and blood to create a destructive storm that swept outwards.
Zhao Kuohai snorted coldly, and the phantom of the Scarlet Yang Heavenly Eagle folded its wings, firmly protecting him and blocking all the impacts.
When the energy storm dissipates.
A charred and mangled figure, like a tattered sack, fell from mid-air and crashed heavily into the ruins of the main hall.
That was none other than Elder Zhao Y ehan.
His monstrous form had completely vanished, and he had been reduced to his original form. Countless bones in his body were broken, his meridians were severed, and his dantian was shattered. He was left with only a breath left to cling to life.
The hall fell into a deathly silence.
The ecstasy on the faces of the Soul Fusion Faction members froze completely, turning into boundless fear and despair.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, the members of the Soul Control Faction erupted in thunderous cheers!
Zhao Kuohai slowly dissipated the illusory image of the demon servant behind him. His face was slightly pale, but his posture remained as upright as a pine tree.
He walked step by step to Zhao Y ehan, looking down at his lifelong rival, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
"It's time to end this farce."
His voice carried a hint of weariness, yet remained steady. "Elder, we share the same origin, we are born of the same root. Let go of your obsessions, and you will still have a place within the manor."
However, his response was neither remorse nor pleas for mercy.
"Heh... hehe..."
Amidst the ruins, Zhao Y ehan made a sound like a broken bellows in his throat. He struggled to raise his head, and on his bloodied and mangled face, his eyes shone with a terrifying light, filled with extreme resentment and madness.
"Same root? Zhao Kuohai, you won... but you also... lost!"
He grinned, revealing a bloody, grotesque smile.
What I can't have, you can't have either!
Before he could finish speaking, he used his last bit of strength to crush a blood-red jade talisman hidden in his palm!
Click!
The jade talisman shattered.
The next instant, a vast and malevolent will, not belonging to this world, seemed to awaken from the depths of the netherworld!
Rumble!
The entire Heavenly Evolution Mountain Manor began to tremble violently without warning!
Outside the main hall, countless crimson runes engraved deep within the mountains and earth's veins were simultaneously illuminated at this moment!
Like venomous snakes awakening, they frantically devoured the spiritual veins of the manor, transforming the entire mountain gate into a massive, activating sacrificial array!
A thick, blood-red light emanated from the depths of the earth, staining the sky an ominous scarlet!
