Digelunsi's voice came through.
Andrew chuckled, "Don't talk big yet, or you'll be too disappointed later." He narrowed his eyes, staring at Digelunsi, and slowly gripped the purple sword in his right hand.
At this moment, Digelunsi's aura was several times stronger than before. His appearance had also undergone a major change. His blood-red hair grew to his waist, each strand reflecting the radiance of the purple moon, cold and eerie. Behind him, a pair of bone wings slowly unfolded, and on the bone wings, twenty-four purple bones were arranged in a special shape, protruding forward like twenty-four sharp short spears.
Digelunsi ' transformation astonished everyone, even Youyindier had never witnessed such a scene before. Strangely, Youyindier seemed somewhat excited as he looked at Digelunsi.
Digelunsi gave Andrew a cold look, then extended his hairy right hand. In his palm, a drop of black Sovereign’s Might floated. With a thought, Digelunsi merged the Destruction Sovereign Power into his body. Soon, the aura of the Sovereign’s Might enveloped him.
"I'll test his strength first." Andrew hesitated for a moment, then channeled the Sovereign’s Might into the Elemental Sea instead of using it immediately.
He wanted to know just how strong he really was.
Andrew has only been cultivating for a short time and hasn't experienced many battles. He doesn't yet have a clear understanding of his own strength. Even after becoming Highgod, Andrew has never gone all out. Even when facing Pusluo, he has been hiding many of his abilities.
Therefore, Andrew was eager to find an opponent, someone who could test his strength.
Now, Digelunsi undoubtedly has that qualification.
Digelunsi was originally Asura level powerhouse; in terms of true strength, he should rank in the lower middle range of the entire Infernal Realm. However, his soul defense methods were quite bizarre.
Now, with the amplification from Purple Baleful Mountain, Digelunsi' strength has increased several times over, placing him in the middle tier of Asura powerhouses. Coupled with the effect of the Sovereign’s Might, Digelunsi is now capable of threatening top-tier Commander. Of course, this is assuming the opponent doesn't use the Sovereign Artifact or the Sovereign’s Might.
Such an opponent is not easy to come by.
"Using only the Sovereign Artifact, my strength is slightly weaker than Digelunsi, but the difference is limited." Andrew calmly assessed the strength of both sides and ultimately decided not to use the Sovereign’s Might for the time being.
On Purple Baleful Mountain, the snow fell heavier and heavier, soon covering the massive mountain with a silvery-white cloak. The white snow reflected the purple moonlight, making the surrounding environment hazy and dreamlike.
Andrew slightly raised his head and glanced at the sky. The snowflakes in the Infernal Realm were different from those on Earth; they weren't caused by water vapor forming clouds and freezing upon contact with cold air, but rather by the influence of the abnormal Laws. Snow under the influence of these Laws was incredibly powerful; any life form below the Saint-level would be instantly frozen to pieces upon encountering it.
Soon, Digelunsi completed his preparations. His figure was shrouded in a black hole, seemingly unfathomable, which swallowed up the surrounding moonlight.
On Purple Baleful Mountain, the atmosphere was unprecedentedly tense. Many weaker spectators retreated hundreds of miles away. Within ten miles, only tens of thousands of the nearly one hundred million spectators remained. The one closest to the battlefield was Youyindier.
To watch the battle in such an environment while ensuring one's own safety, one needs at least the strength of Five-Star Fiend.
Digelunsi and Andrew, however, were not thinking about any of that; at that moment, their eyes were only on their opponent.
"Come on!" This time, Andrew took the initiative.
With his right hand gripping the purple sword tightly, Andrew took a step and traversed several miles of space, appearing above Digelunsi. At the same time, the purple sword was thrust out steadily, and space shattered inch by inch at the tip of the sword.
A surge of power erupted from the sword, so solid that even space itself could not block it!
In that instant, Andrew's speed reached its limit, and his attack was incredibly fast. Moreover, this sword strike incorporated his newly acquired " Profound Mystery of Roundness."
Digelunsi's crimson eyes were fixed on Andrew, while the bone wings behind him Vibration rapidly. Under Andrew's sword strike, he felt an immense force binding him, and the space around him was constantly squeezing him...
However, Digelunsi had used the Sovereign’s Might, was no pushover.
With repeated Vibration of its bone wings, Digelunsi transformed into a shadowy figure that seemed both real and illusory. The shadow moved erratically, shifting left and right, up and down, its position becoming increasingly unpredictable.
"Trying to escape!" Andrew roared, and with a flick of his purple sword, powerful sword energy spread out, Shattering the space as if it were glass, and creating a huge spatial storm. The colorful Spatial Turbulence submerged and swallowed everything around it.
"Clang..." A loud metallic clang rang out, and in mid-air, the two blurry figures separated instantly.
"Again!" Andrew roared, and the blue shadow coiled around him once more.
"Call out..."
After the sharp sound, the black shadows split into two again, one above the other, lunging at Andrew.
Andrew quickly used his divine sense to examine the two figures, but unfortunately, he still couldn't distinguish them. However, even if he was fighting two against one, he didn't care at all.
The Sovereign Artifact, the purple sword, swung wildly in the air. With two Lightning, Andrew swiftly repelled the two black shadows that pounced at him. At the same time, he flicked his dragon tail, once again sweeping away Digelunsi behind him.
Unfortunately, neither of those attacks injured Digelunsi.
Having used the Sovereign’s Might, Digelunsi ' speed, defense, and attack have all been greatly enhanced, to the point that Andrew can no longer keep up.
This is not surprising, as the speed difference between the two was not significant before.
"Boom..." Before Andrew could think, Digelunsi turned around and swung his sword at his left. With his speed suppressed, Andrew could not dodge and could only reach out to block.
The golden dragon arm clashed with the blood-red monster sword...
"Bang!"
Centered on Andrew Digelunsi, a spatial fluctuation rippled outwards. Under this fluctuation, space continuously shattered and repaired itself, a process that lasted for several minutes!
Thump!
Thump!
The two did not separate but remained entangled. Andrew used his sword in his right hand to deal with a dark figure, while his left arm continuously blocked the attacks from the other Digelunsi. The two Digelunsi were indeed difficult to deal with, Andrew, trying to multitask, could not keep up with their attack speed.
On the right, Digelunsi, fearing Andrew's purple sword, avoided direct confrontation, opting instead to exploit weaknesses. On the left, Digelunsi launched a powerful attack, his blood-red sword raining down on Andrew's left arm like a storm. Fortunately, Andrew's dragon scales provided strong defense, and he was protected by the Fused Divine Power lightning and fire, thus remaining unharmed.
However, the feeling of being beaten without being able to fight back infuriated Andrew. Several times, he couldn't help but use the Sovereign’s Might.
"No, I have to limit his speed!" Andrew thought anxiously.
After fighting for a while, Andrew realized that although the two Digelunsi were troublesome, Digelunsi strength had decreased after being split in two. And since Andrew was known for his defense, the Digelunsi couldn't do anything to him for the time being.
"It's better to break one finger than to injure all ten. Let's take one down first!" Andrew didn't know if this clone technique was Digelunsi's talent, but he knew that taking down one of them would definitely affect Digelunsi. With his mind made up, Andrew turned his attention to the right, where Digelunsi was constantly dodging.
Suddenly, Andrew clenched his left fist and struck the blade of Digelunsi ' sword on his left. With a clang, the immense force sent the blood sword flying, and Digelunsi on his left was also sent flying back several meters. Andrew also paid the price; a large gash appeared on his left hand, and some of the dragon scales Shattering by the intense impact.
"A great opportunity!"
Ignoring his injury, Andrew swept his left arm around the opponent and used his left fist to block Digelunsi's retreat on the right. At that moment, he involuntarily combined " Profound Mystery of Roundness and softness" with "explosiveness," making his punch not only fast but also powerfully binding!
A decisive strike on the spot greatly enhances the fusion of two Mysteries.
The unpredictable Digelunsi' speed suddenly decreased by 90%, and he appeared in front of Andrew. It looked like he was about to be hit by the fist!
Behind Andrew, another Digelunsi struck like Lightning, but unfortunately, he didn't have time to block Andrew's punch.
"No!"
Terrified, Digelunsi tried to escape, but Andrew's binding force was too strong, so strong that even with the protection of the Sovereign’s Might, he could not break free. In his haste, Digelunsi managed to protect his body with his bone wings.
"Boom!"
Andrew's left fist pierced through the Shattering space and struck Digelunsi's bone wings. The purple bone wings absorbed some of the force of the punch, but they could not stop the fist covered with Gold Dragon.
With a loud "bang," Digelunsi was punched through the chest by Andrew, falling dozens of meters away and exploding. With one punch, Digelunsi's body was reduced to dust.
Andrew showed no smugness. At that moment, Digelunsi' attack from behind was imminent. Andrew swiftly swept his dragon tail to block the sword's edge, while the purple sword silently thrust out, aiming to kill Digelunsi in one fell swoop. He was absolutely confident of this counterattack. Under the power of the Sovereign Artifact, the purple sword, Digelunsi could only perish.
However, a figure suddenly appeared and blocked Andrew's sword.
The figure was none other than Youyindier.
To Andrew's surprise, Youyindier intervened at the last moment.
"Isn't he afraid of offending me? Or Digelunsi pay some price?" Andrew couldn't figure it out.
Youyindier smiled and said, " Andrew, Digelunsi has learned his lesson, and you've won the Asura Challenge. Let's leave it at that."
A sharp glint flashed in Andrew's eyes, and he paused for a moment. Soon, as if he had thought of something, he asked coldly, "It seems I have no choice but to continue." He pointed to the armor on Youyindier's body, which was dark blue-black with mysterious patterns on it. It was none other than Youyindier's Material Defense Sovereign Artifact.
Youyindier remained silent, indicating his presupposition.
Seeing this, Andrew was furious. You, Youyindier, are the commander of the Bloodridge Army, powerful and influential, but I am not a nobody to be trifled with!
Having fought to this point, the two sides had become mortal enemies; how could they possibly stop and leave behind a formidable foe?
Having made up his mind, Andrew's attitude softened. He was curious as to why Youyindier's attitude had changed so drastically in the end.
Transformed into a miniature Golden Dragon, Andrew's icy eyes fixed on Youyindier: "If you want me to stop, you'll have to give me a reason. As far as I know, you, Youyindier, are not Digelunsi's sworn brothers. Now, Digelunsi and I are mortal enemies, it's a matter of life and death for us. Are you sure you want to stop me?"
Youyindier thought to himself that it wouldn't be easy for him to save Digelunsi. He frowned, and the smile on his face disappeared. Behind him, Digelunsi seemed to have recovered some of his strength.
In fact, Digelunsi was also very curious as to why Youyindier would ultimately lend a helping hand. He didn't believe that what he had given was worth Youyindier offending a powerful Asura.
" Digelunsi cannot die now." Youyindier thought for a moment and said a dry sentence.
Andrew laughed angrily, " Youyindier, though you are strong, I am not afraid of you. You think you can get me to release Digelunsi just because of that?"
Youyindier remained unmoved, an immense pressure emanating from him, making his stance clear. " Digelunsi cannot die now."
"Can't die now?" Andrew grasped Youyindier's meaning, which made him even more interested in Youyindier's intentions. It seemed that Youyindier's actions were not due to any relationship with Digelunsi, but rather for some peculiar purpose.
What benefits could Digelunsi bring to Youyindier? Andrew couldn't help but ponder.
Thinking this way, Andrew showed no weakness in his actions.
Holding the Sovereign Artifact, the purple sword, Andrew slowly approached. " Youyindier, I will not give up until you explain yourself!" Andrew was not worried. He had already decided that if Youyindier insisted on interfering, he would never give up, even if it meant exposing the secret of his Three-element Soul Mutation.
Youyindier was quite troubled; he saw Andrew's resolve. In terms of strength, he wasn't afraid of Andrew. Andrew had Offensive Sovereign Artifact, while he had Material Defense Sovereign Artifact, which could be considered a counter to his opponent. His only concern was Andrew's powerful Soul Attack. Unlike Digelunsi, he didn't have those strange moves.
" Andrew, don't misunderstand." Youyindier seemed to want others to know his purpose, deliberately using Soul Transmission, " Digelunsi is very useful to a big shot. Hand him over, and we'll get a lot of rewards. We'll split those rewards equally!"
A reward? A powerful figure? Andrew's heart skipped a beat; a bad feeling washed over him. For Youyindier to call someone a powerful figure, what kind of strength was that? Paragon, or perhaps... Sovereign?
"What reward?" Andrew asked calmly.
" The Sovereign’s Might, or even Sovereign Artifact!"
After hearing Youyindier's answer, Andrew finally confirmed that the important figure the other party mentioned must be a certain Sovereign.
"The important figure you mentioned, could it be the Sovereign Blood Peak?" Andrew probed.
Youyindier shook his head. "He is a being even greater than the Sovereign Blood Peak. This being issues special missions in each plane, missions known only to a very few. Once someone completes these missions, they will receive a generous reward."
Andrew continued, "What does this have to do with Digelunsi?"
Youyindier decided to stop hiding it. " Special Lifeform and Divine Beast are one of the tasks. Seeing Digelunsi ' transformation, I had a feeling that he was what that person needed." At this point, Youyindier became somewhat excited. In fact, he had only heard about this great figure by chance from the Sovereign Blood Peak, and knew that the other party was obsessed with researching various Special Lifeform and Divine Beast, especially those with special talents.
" Digelunsi isn't particularly strong, but his soul talent is extraordinary. Without Soul Defense Sovereign Artifact, he easily withstood Andrew's Soul Attack... I used to think it was some kind of special move, but today I realize it's simply his bloodline talent!" Youyindier was secretly overjoyed. "I've never seen another soul defense technique like this before."
Youyindier became increasingly convinced that Digelunsi might be useful to that important figure. If that were the case, his contribution this time would be immense!
Therefore, even though Youyindier only had a 60-70% chance of success, he still decided to make the move. For him, taking the risk was worthwhile.
Regardless of what Youyindier thought, Andrew felt a sense of crisis. No matter which Sovereign Youyindier was referring to, it would not be a good thing for Andrew if Digelunsi became involved with him.
The more important Digelunsi is, the more dangerous Andrew becomes.
Although he knew that it was unlikely that the Sovereign would intervene in the battles between gods, this was not absolute. If Digelunsi was of great use to a certain Sovereign, the Sovereign could send his subordinates even if he did not personally help him take revenge.
"No matter what, Digelunsi must die!" Youyindier didn't know that his explanation only strengthened Andrew's resolve to kill him.
However, in order to mislead Youyindier, Andrew still pretended to be very interested.
"Is there really going to be a reward of Sovereign Artifact? That seems unlikely," Andrew asked telepathically.
Youyindier was overjoyed, thinking Andrew was interested, and hurriedly said, "As long as Digelunsi is valuable, the Sovereign Artifact is not impossible..." Before he could finish speaking, Youyindier's expression changed drastically, and a roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth, " Andrew, what are you doing!"
It turned out that Andrew had taken advantage of the moment he was speaking to launch a surprise attack, and even used the Sovereign’s Might without hesitation!
With the two less than fifty meters apart, Andrew, who had used the Sovereign’s Might, was faster than Lightning. Even if Youyindier were to be completely focused, he might not be able to stop Andrew, let alone be distracted. At this time, Digelunsi ' injuries had only recovered to about 30-40%. Even at his peak, he was no match for Andrew; after being seriously injured, he was even less of a match!
The long, noble Gold Dragon's body enveloped Digelunsi, and an unparalleled sword strike severed the bone wings protecting Digelunsi, piercing through his head and splitting him in two. However, Digelunsi was quite adept at escaping; in the face of death, he managed to create another clone. Unfortunately for him, Andrew had anticipated this move, Digelunsi with a swift claw strike, shattered this clone.
In the blink of an eye, Digelunsi died at Andrew's hands! After collecting Digelunsi Divine Spark and spatial ring, Andrew had a thought and also put his corpse into his spatial ring.
"Boom!" Before he could catch his breath, the enraged Youyindier attacked. Andrew turned around and saw black fist shadows everywhere behind him. Caught off guard, Andrew was hit several times. However, his movements were fast enough and his defense was strong enough that he was not injured.
Even so, Andrew was still somewhat shocked. Youyindier's punches were too fast, almost as fast as his own sword strike just now.
In fact, Youyindier was more Vibration!
"I cultivate two Laws: Lightning Element and destruction. Lightning Element is fast, and Laws of Destruction is powerful. I've fused five Mysteries into both Laws. In terms of physical attacks, no one on the Blood Peak Continent, except Beirut, is stronger than me. But just now, my fist couldn't even hurt Andrew... This man's physical defense is even better than I expected!"
Youyindier's physical defenses were weak, but his physical attacks were formidable. He used to believe that, apart from those at the Paragon and Beirut, no one could withstand his attacks. However, Andrew had opened his eyes today.
Youyindier's physical attacks were indeed powerful, but after Dragonform, Andrew's physical body had reached the hardness of Divine Spark. In addition, he used the Water Sovereign Power, so it was normal that Youyindier couldn't hurt him.
His opponent made a move, and regardless of the reason, Andrew wouldn't back down. With a few quick movements, Andrew dodged Youyindier's punch and landed behind him. His speed was astonishing; no one on the field could catch a glimpse of him.
