The swirling, fiery serpent flashed out in an instant, and the heat following the sword light also crushed down with overwhelming force.
A muffled boom erupted in the field, and the energy shockwave from the impact brought the earth's crust to a standstill.
The gushing lava even seemed to be stopping, as if some kind of dark energy was suppressing its flow.
Under the scorching heat, the slag below instantly turned into a sea of fire, which was then eroded into by the molten lava.
A gurgling sound echoed throughout the area, and the space between the two had transformed into a basin of lava.
After the heatwave and the fire serpent intertwined, the resulting energy was still fluctuating, and two sword lights stood out particularly brightly amidst the energy fluctuations.
Xu Long looked at the head of the god, his eyes sparkling with starlight. The Celestial Phenomenon above his head suddenly brightened, and sword light burst forth amidst a sea of fire.
A howling sound erupted above the lava, and the power of the sword light swept across a sea of fire.
After being refined and upgraded to a superior-grade World-Breaking Blade now appeared exceptionally agile amidst the sea of fire.
It even felt like a fish in water, with a fierce momentum amidst the heatwave and sea of fire.
The deity opposite him flicked his finger, and the afterimages formed by the short sword immediately stirred up. Only afterimages appeared in the air, and the true form of the afterimages was nowhere to be seen.
The fleeting afterimage forcefully pierced through the preceding heat wave, and as it intertwined with the heat flow, the heat flow clung tightly to it.
The magma below seemed to have caught its prey, and the endless flow of heat began to surge forth. The overwhelming amount of energy caused the afterimage to collapse time and time again.
The swirling short sword seemed to slow down for a moment, as if its form was being restrained by the heat.
Meanwhile, the sword light from the opposite side had already struck, and the Celestial Phenomenon above Xu Long emitted a strong Power of Laws.
The sword light then rose like a star, and as it approached the short sword, it seemed about to topple over.
The deity behind him frowned immediately, sensing the power emanating from the stars.
The short sword, which had intended to bypass the stars, was caught in the heat current above the magma, which naturally slowed it down.
The deity gazed at the fallen star, a strange look in his eyes.
This star was formed from sword light and carried the Power of Laws of the Celestial Phenomenon. But what puzzled the gods was that when the star fell, it had a hint of the aura of Heaven Patroler.
The power of the Heaven Patroler's Heaven-Slaying One Sword was so overwhelming that it remained in the hearts of the ancient gods no matter how many years had passed.
How could this fellow, a remnant of the ancient era, who came to the core to rescue the Ancestral Spirit, possess the Sword Dao techniques of the Heaven Patroler?
Judging from his imposing demeanor, he had already grasped half of the true essence. Could it be that he had once witnessed the Heaven Patroler's attack up close?
As the deity watched the star fall, he kept speculating about Xu Long's identity while his hands rapidly formed hand seals.
When he was multitasking, he divided his Magic Power into two streams: one was poured into the bronze short sword, and the other was contained in his hands as he formed hand seals.
As the star that Xu Long had summoned fell, the hand seal in the god's hand was also completed.
Boom!
As the sword light struck, it clashed with the short sword, creating a deafening sound that echoed through the earth's crust.
The short sword suddenly sank in mid-air, causing a large section of the surging magma below to cave in.
A spark ignited between the metal and the metal, and a surge of heat entered, instantly igniting a sea of fire.
The two sword lights in the sea of fire did not turn back to each other, but intertwined in the flames, their light and shadow inseparable.
Like the flickering firelight, it was difficult to see what was inside.
Two sword lights rose and fell in the sea of fire, their sharpness increasing with each passing moment. When the sword lights swirled up, they carried streaks of starlight, as if they wanted to pierce through the enemy beneath them completely.
Amidst the glittering starlight, an overwhelming aura emanated from the bronze sword, which was firmly pressed against the lava below, the scorching heat relentlessly baking its blade.
The sword light above their heads flashed with sharpness, weakening the momentum of the short sword below, and the heavy afterimages all dissipated in the sea of fire.
Two sword lights coiled like dragons and snakes within the earth's crust, bringing with them a raging sea of fire as they twisted and turned.
Between length and shortness, there is an overlap of the Power of Laws; between light and darkness, there is an awe-inspiring power.
The clanging sounds were incessant, as the metal and the flames achieved a perfect union.
The sword light had turned a deep red amidst the surging energy, and a wave of heat had spread across the entire blade.
Magma was still gushing from the Earth's crust, the violent tremors were being suppressed, and a violent energy was accumulating beneath the magma waves.
At this moment, the deity's magical Magic Power swept across the magma, causing energy fluctuations that slowed the momentum of the heat wave in front of him.
When Xu Long looked up, he saw a solid magic seal falling from above his head.
The magic seal that the deity condensed with a flip of his hand seemed to transcend the barriers of space and landed directly on the top of Xu Long.
An immense sense of oppression rose from the bottom of his heart. Xu Long felt his scalp tingle and instinctively wanted to land and escape.
But he abruptly stopped himself from having that thought, and at that moment the magic seal in his eyes rapidly enlarged, emanating an extremely heavy aura.
As soon as Xu Long had a thought, his vision suddenly went dark, and a huge human figure suddenly rose up from the earth's crust.
A face with blue fangs looked up at the magic seal above, and a strong arm held the solid magic seal high.
A fierce glint appeared in the eyes of the Dharma Body, and as he raised the Dharma Seal, a violent energy was about to be released above his head.
With a loud "boom," the majestic body of the Dharma Body was forced back several steps.
The explosion of the magic seal above their heads unleashed a surge of immense energy, forcing Xu Long below to retreat.
Before he could react, he caught a glimpse of light in his emanating will, and Xu Long was immediately startled!
Another deity's bronze dagger was already hurtling towards Xu Long from behind!
At this moment, he was attacked from both sides. When the short sword came, he subconsciously raised the curtain to defend himself, and then quickly switched forms with his Dharma Body.
The two figures switched places in place, and the Dharma Body outside the curtain wall were intertwined. Before they even reached the back, the light and shadow in the will had already arrived.
Bang bang bang!
A streak of light surged forward between the curtain wall and Xu Long, accompanied by a series of muffled thuds in front of him.
The decaying sword energy burst forth through the curtain wall in front of Xu Long, and the light and shadow in his eyes were already bright.
At this moment, all his magical Magic Power was poured into the curtain wall, and as Xu Long pulled away, the curtain continued to solidify.
The light and shadow within finally exhausted their energy, and just as the momentum was about to reverse, Xu Long's back was already occupied by the Dharma Body.
Snap!
A sonic boom erupted from within the earth's crust, the invisible energy impacting the thick underground, causing the surrounding spatial barriers to deform slightly.
The blue-faced, fanged Dharma Body suddenly clasped its hands together above Xu Long, and a shimmering stream of light appeared in its enormous palms.
The bronze short sword, about to spin away, was caught in Xu Long finally appeared!
His indifferent gaze followed the Dharma Body's movements, a hint of surprise in his eyes, as if he were astonished by the sheer number of methods Xu Long employed.
The short sword within the Dharma Body was still shifting and changing, and when the huge hand closed, it was like an iron clamp, firmly controlling the short sword.
The deity's gaze turned cold, and he gathered his Magic Power to unleash the sword light. His Dharma Body body's eyes blazed, and he stood steadily behind Xu Long.
However, Xu Long's attention was focused on the deity opposite him. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that he had managed to bring the young man back into his body earlier.
He had already summoned two ancient gods on his own. If his avatar at the Earth Immortal Realm level were here, there would surely be even more gods to intercept him. In that case, he would truly be blocked by all the gods outside the city.
At this moment, a Dharma Body temporarily held the line from behind, and Xu Long's Magic Power surged out of his body and disappeared into the Celestial Phenomenon above his head.
He wanted to activate the Nebula in the Celestial Phenomenon, causing them to condense into a stream of heat that converged behind the sword light.
At this moment, the sword light in the arena was clashing with the short sword, and the light and shadow kept flashing as the sword danced like dragons and snakes.
Heavy sword energy and Magic Power surged across the magma, causing shockwaves and energy fluctuations that transformed the surrounding debris into a sea of fire.
In the Celestial Phenomenon, the Nebula gradually began to rotate, and the hot flow that rose when the magma boiled was drawn in by a suction force.
The converging heat was filled with a violent aura, which even Xu Long, who was within it, felt somewhat difficult to control.
His figure became somewhat blurred in the sweltering heat; the extreme heat slowed everyone's movements.
Gazing at the deity opposite, the Nebula in Xu Long's Celestial Phenomenon momentarily stopped rotating, and the swirling heat within was guided.
Converging towards the sword light, the deity opposite Xu Long began forming hand seals as he gathered the heat currents. By the time the surging heat currents arrived, the hand seal in his hand had already solidified.
Xu Long's heart tightened immediately, knowing that the seals formed by the gods could never be judged by ordinary standards.
The hand seal may seem to be still in your hand, but it will appear around you in the next moment.
A cold smile appeared in the god's eyes. The remnants of the ancient times may have many methods, but how could they possibly be a match for the victor?
Having been banished from the heavens, do you really think you can turn the tables in the Land of Exile?
The deity paid no attention to the surging heat; perhaps in his eyes, it was merely a distraction tactic by the remnants of the ancient times.
To achieve the feat of securing the throne, one must, like him, directly place the magic seal on the top of the opponent's head.
Once his barrier is breached, the divine attacks from behind will come in an instant!
"Imperial Edict!"
The deity's indifferent gaze fixed on Xu Long, then slightly parted his lips and uttered a single word.
A powerful Power of Laws emanated from him, and when he spoke, he truly exuded an aura of absolute power, causing the spatial barrier to shift with just a single word.
The solid hand seal instantly rose into the air, and then, as if locking onto a target, quickly flipped over.
The atmosphere in the arena suddenly tensed. A ferocious glint flashed in Xu Long's eyes, and the surging heat in front of him was unleashed.
As the sword lights clashed, they rushed towards the heat flow, and a wave of heat from the air hit Xu Long in the face, making his skin twitch as he felt the heat.
However, at this moment, a familiar sense of oppression came from above. Xu Long didn't even need to look up to know that the divine seal had fallen.
Before his attack could even reach his opponent, the solidified magic seal had already crossed the spatial barrier and was falling down above him with a strong sense of pressure.
The god opposite him sneered even more, as if he could already see Xu Long's defenses broken by the magic seal, and then he would fall into the sea of fire and lava to be slaughtered.
seal up!
In the midst of extreme danger, Xu Long uttered a single word to the falling magic seal above his head.
An invisible energy manifested within the earth's crust, and the oppressive feeling overhead instantly solidified.
The falling magic seal was instantly sealed by a powerful force, and in an instant, it came to a steady stop above Xu Long's head.
Invisible energy has sealed off the tangible Dharma seals!
The cold smile of the deity opposite him froze in his eyes.
He was intimately connected with the Dharma Seal. Just now, when the Dharma Seal was blocked, he felt an irresistible energy appear, and then his Dharma Seal actually froze in the air for a moment.
How is that possible!
A sense of horror suddenly arose in his numb heart. When had he ever encountered such a strange energy in the Land of Exile?
Even a god with a glorious record of battles beyond the heavens, and with his vast knowledge, had never seen such a powerful method.
He had noticed Xu Long uttering a single word, and the word itself carried an imposing, almost divine, power.
His gaze lingered on an array diagram behind Xu Long, a look of doubt appearing on his stiff face.
Taking advantage of this instant, Xu Long poured all his Magic Power into the sword light.
As the seal was sealed, the surging heat in front of him merged with the sword light, and the vast energy in the Celestial Phenomenon continued to surge forth.
At this moment, before the gods, there was already an overwhelming surge of energy.
The violent aura filled the area before the deity, making his dry skin feel extremely hot, and the short sword in front of him was squeezed and spun by this violent energy.
Only then did the gods realize that the cultivator opposite them was no reckless person, and that he was handling the two ancient gods with ease.
He knew that his opponent had extensive combat experience, and that if his own magic seal failed to strike, he would lose everything.
As the surging heat approached, the horror in his eyes transformed into a flash of fire.
boom!
After a loud bang, a figure emerged from the surging heat.
The deity once again commanded the short sword to break through the encirclement. The bronze short sword cleaved through the surging heat, and the violent energy ignited a sea of fire beside him.
The flames in his eyes quickly died down, and the god struggled to move through the sea of fire, but the violent energy had already engulfed his body.
His long silver hair was instantly ignited, and the god was lifted up by the short sword, his eyes revealing a resolute look.
Before he could make a move, the cascading heat automatically parted to create a narrow passage.
Something seemed to be hurtling towards them at high speed from behind, causing a sonic boom that silenced the burning inferno.
At this moment, a stream of light was reflected in the god's eyes, a stream of light following the rolling heat, as he unwillingly stirred up the Magic Power within his body.
He poured all his Magic Power into the short sword, which shot out and aimed directly at the flowing light. When the two sword beams met in the air, they caused a strong shock.
The muffled rumbling echoed through the sea of fire, while the deity, now deprived of the protection of the short sword, was swept away by the heat.
