The blood-red sunlight of the Infernal Realm shone on the entire Ember Mountains.
Above the clearing in the center of the mountain range, Fafnir, the Prefect of Eternal Night, had already drawn his weapon—a crimson spear.
Fafnir and Liermons faced each other in mid-air, each wielding a weapon, while countless gods below looked up at them.
" Fafnir, I hope you won't disappoint me." Liermons hovered high in the sky, looking at the Prefect of Eternal Night not far away, secretly anticipating the battle to come. Normally, Liermons was indifferent and uncaring about anything else.
At this moment, Liermons' eyes flashed like lightning, and he was filled with fighting spirit.
Fafnir, on the other side, had obviously heard of Liermons's exploits, so he did not underestimate his opponent and immediately took out his most handy Divine Artifact.
Their eyes clashed, neither willing to give in!
" Fafnir, take this!" Liermons laughed loudly and made the first move.
"Swoosh~~" Terrifying gray sword energy burst forth from Liermons' body. Immediately, a phantom giant sword a thousand meters tall appeared out of thin air, with Liermons himself at the core of the phantom giant sword. The swirling sword energy alone seemed to make the space unable to withstand it.
"This guy's Edicts of Destruction have indeed been cultivated to an extremely high level."
Fafnir's expression turned serious.
With a loud "boom!", his entire body was engulfed in jet-black flames, and half of the sky emanating from him instantly transformed into Flame World. The endless, Profound Mysteries of Scorching Heat power of the flames seemed capable of melting the surrounding space, and beneath his fiery eyebrows, his eyes burst forth with a fiery red light.
Like a god of war in the flames!
"Go!" Under Liermons ' control, the enormous illusory sword shadow transformed into a black ray of light and slashed forward as if the Heaven Opening were splitting apart!
Where the black light passed, space seemed to be split in two, leaving only the hazy sword energy crushing towards Fafnir.
Faced with this terrifying and destructive sword energy, Fafnir held the gun in one hand, and countless rays of crimson divine power shone from his body, finally gathering on the crimson spear shaft to form a ferocious, flaming lion.
"Boom!" Fafnir swung his spear angrily, and the giant fire lion seemed to come alive, instantly transforming into a fiery phantom that rushed towards the hazy sword energy.
The illusory giant sword and the fiery lion clashed head-on in an instant!
A terrifying roar, loud enough to deafen anyone, shook the entire world!
"Rip!" Liermons roared inwardly, and the gray sword energy suddenly became even more solid, as if it wanted to tear the entire sky apart!
"Explode!" Fafnir was not to be outdone. Just as the giant fire lion was about to meet the destructive sword energy, it actually detonated itself. The bright and shining fire lion burst into a blazing light, and its body suddenly shattered into pieces, exploding directly! What followed was a terrifying explosion that shook the heavens and the earth!
After a deafening roar that seemed to shake the heavens and the earth, the destructive sword energy and the exploding flames subsided into calm.
The terrifying dual divine powers formed a monstrous black vortex that tangled together, instantly turning the sky above the Ember Mountains red and gray, each occupying half of the sky!
Clearly, in this first, simple probing exchange, neither of them gained a significant advantage.
"The physical attacks of these two are terrifying!" Even from such a distance, Echidna couldn't help but be shocked by the terrifying techniques of these two.
"This is just a test, but both of them have exceptional control over their attacks." Luo Ao could tell that this was just an appetizer; the two hadn't really gotten serious yet.
"Is this just a test?" Echidna couldn't help but widen her eyes as she continued to look up at the sky.
Above the Ember Mountains, Liermons was extremely excited, while Fafnir sensed how troublesome Liermons was.
In the recent contest of material attacks, he didn't gain the slightest advantage.
" Fused Divine Power? As expected, a troublesome existence." Fafnir also understood that the reason for this result was related to the special divine power of Liermons here.
In a normal battle between Highgod, those who have become Highgod independently generally have roughly the same level of divine power.
However, Liermons is one of the rare exceptions. He is a powerful being with Two-element Soul Mutation. The fusion of these two Highgod Power makes his power ten times stronger than that of a normal Highgod Power!
Thanks to the special Fused Divine Power with the gods, Liermons is now displaying strength that is almost equal to his own.
"Even disregarding the advantage of divine power, this guy's mastery of the Edicts of Destruction is already quite high." Through their recent probing exchange, Fafnir could roughly sense his opponent's mastery of the Path of Destruction.
Even without Fused Divine Power, Liermons here is considered one of the more powerful Seven-Star Fiend.
" Infernal Realm Asura, indeed powerful. Fafnir, again!" Liermons ' Black Longsword trembled, and black sword shadows flickered!
Suddenly, more than thirty black sword shadows appeared in the sky. These sword shadows tore through the sky like more than thirty World Destruction dragons. A total of thirty-six sword shadows drew different arcs, but in the end, they all struck Fafnir at the same time.
These thirty-six sword shadows were extremely fierce, like man-eating beasts, aiming to tear their opponent to pieces.
"Hmph." Facing the more than thirty extremely sharp sword shadows, Fafnir merely snorted indifferently. At the same time, he brandished the crimson spear in his hand, and suddenly turned around. A terrifying firebird spread its wings with a sharp cry and charged straight at them!
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...
After another series of earth-shattering explosions, the Flame Bird finally extinguished these sharp sword energies, but it also completely collapsed.
Although he successfully parried the attack, Fafnir's arm trembled uncontrollably, and he frowned, his gaze toward Liermons growing increasingly icy.
"You take my move too!" With that, Fafnir's fiery eyebrows twitched, and he instantly transformed into a streak of flame, charging towards Liermons!
"Then let's go!" When it came to close combat, Liermons showed no fear whatsoever. He too transformed into a black phantom and charged towards Fafnir!
Both were experts skilled in speed. The crowd below only saw these two powerful figures instantly transform into two afterimages and clash, but they could hardly see their next moves.
Only Luo Ao's eyes were fixed intently on the two's movements.
As Fafnir's body passed by, the space itself distorted and rippled strangely, as if it had been melted by the intense heat of his flames. Meanwhile, Liermons transformed into a bewitching black light, flashing continuously as he also tracked Fafnir's movements and struck out with his sword time and time again!
Luo Ao could even sense that Liermons had gained a significant advantage here, and Fafnir had suffered several injuries in succession.
Although these injuries are relatively minor, their cumulative effects should not be underestimated.
"Interesting. It's Liermons who managed to push the Prefect of Eternal Night to this point. But next, I guess Fafnir will have to give in too soon, won't he?" As a well-established lord of a palace, Luo Ao didn't believe that Fafnir wouldn't even have a drop of Sovereign’s Might.
Sure enough, as the battle situation became increasingly unfavorable, Fafnir finally snapped after being stabbed by Liermons once again!
Among the two phantoms battling in the sky, the red phantom Fafnir was suddenly enveloped in a black aura, emanating a terrifying and destructive aura that sent chills down one's spine!
" Liermons? I'll remember you, but today, you're dead!" Fafnir's laughter echoed through the sky, and everyone looked at him in astonishment.
