Upon seeing that Buer's actions had been thwarted Xu Xingyu immediately turned towards the direction from which the sound had come. There, she saw the Fierce Blaze Emperor, who had been busy charging up, holding the Heaven-rending Sacred Abyss Halberd and looking at her side with a gloomy expression.

For some reason, the current Blaze Emperor gave Xu Xingyu a different feeling than before. If it were the previous Blaze Emperor, Xu Xingyu would feel some threat, but at most she would be a little more cautious towards him.

However, the current Blaze Emperor gave him an extremely dangerous feeling, as if his strength far surpassed his own, posing a strong threat.

In particular, his attack just now not only saved the Plane Core of the two Abyss Emperors, but also broke through his own domain. Although he withdrew his domain in time, he still suffered a small backlash.

What on earth is going on? The power of the Blaze Emperor is only comparable to that of the Spirit Emperor and the Devil Emperor, and may even be inferior to that of the Spirit Emperor. Even if he wields the Heaven-rending Sacred Abyss Halberd, a Super Divine Artifact, he shouldn't be giving him this feeling!

The Abyss in his hand was also a Super Divine Artifact of the same level, so he had no reason to be so terrified!

The Abyss is the Divine Artifact created by Xu Xingyu by fusing the original Dragon Slaying Saber with the Soul Spirit of the Thundering Hell Vine. This Divine Artifact not only inherited the original power of judgment from the Dragon Slaying Saber, but also expanded its concept of judgment by absorbing the Thunder God Bloodline Thundering Hell Vine.

The original Dragon Slaying Saber was merely a weapon for judging sinful dragons, with no special attack capabilities against other species. However, the scope of the redesigned Dragon Slaying Saber Abyss's Judgment is no longer limited to the Dragon Clan.

Having undergone the baptism of Lightning Tribulation, the Abyss now possesses the ability to judge any beasts and Evil beings, and this remains effective against these foreign Abyss creatures.

As for the Abyss's ability to transform, that was acquired after fusing with the Thundering Hell Vine. Because the Thundering Hell Vine was made into the Abyss's sword spirit, the Abyss also took the place of the Thundering Hell Vine as Xu Xingyu's Soul Spirit.

This allows the Thundering Hell Vine, as a sword spirit, to freely control everything in the Abyss, and naturally enables the Abyss to maintain its own characteristics and transform into any form of cold weapon.

Before Xu Xingyu could think any further, Blaze Emperor swiftly grabbed at Buer, and upon seeing this Xu Xingyu immediately recalled her back into her body.

Seemingly sensing the aura of the Sea God's authority that Xu Xingyu had acquired through her fusion with Wang Dong'er, Blaze Emperor looked at Xu Xingyu with a face full of disgust and anger and said, "So you are the so-called successor of the Sea God? Very well, I'll cripple you first, take away the Seed of Life, and then settle accounts with that bastard Sea God!!!"

After saying that, he quickly thrust the Heaven-rending Sacred Abyss Halberd in his hand towards Xu Xingyu. Xu Xingyu could only quickly use the long sword Abyss in her hand to counterattack.

As the swords and halberds clashed, countless sparks flew, and each time the two swung their weapons, a hurricane began to form around them.

At first glance, the duel between the two seems evenly matched, but in the eyes of a true expert, the one who should have the upper hand is Blaze Emperor.

Like spears, halberds are long-range weapons, so in combat, one must maintain a certain distance from the opponent to maximize their power, and Blaze Emperor certainly did just that.

In order to maintain a sufficient distance from Xu Xingyu, Blaze Emperor Di constantly switched between sweeping and thrusting attacks, which put Xu Xingyu, who was wielding a long sword, at a disadvantage where she could only defend.

Indeed, Xu Xingyu's Abyss Blade is not short, and it is even only slightly shorter than the Heaven-rending Sacred Abyss Halberd. However, a blade is designed for close combat to maximize its effectiveness.

Although Xu Xingyu had systematically learned swordsmanship as a child due to her family connections, the methods of using a saber and a sword are still different. The former is based on slashing, while the latter is mainly for thrusting. Therefore, she was still a little unaccustomed to using a long saber.

Therefore, faced with the fierce and relentless attacks of Blaze Emperor, Xu Xingyu could do was use her long sword to fight a defensive battle, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack through continuous defense.

As for using the Abyss's ability to transform it into a spear and then counterattacking with his more proficient spear techniques, Xu Xingyu had considered it, but faced with such a dense attack, he simply couldn't find the time to transform his weapon.

Therefore, he could only use this tactic of stalling for time, waiting for the opponent to reveal an opening so that he could launch a counterattack.

However, Blaze Emperor's situation wasn't exactly favorable either. Although, according to the previous analysis, Blaze Emperor had the upper hand in this weapon duel, as he constantly maintained the distance between himself and his opponent, preventing the opponent from retaliating and forcing them to defend.

The problem was that the opponent's defense was too difficult to deal with. It was as if Xu Xingyu knew the Heaven-rending Sacred Abyss Halberd Halberd's characteristic of ignoring defense. The opponent tried to deflect the halberd's attack by colliding the blade and the halberd, rather than using the blade in his hand to block the Heaven-rending Sacred Abyss Halberd.

Even though Blaze Emperor had his share of opportunities to force his opponent to use only parrying, the opponent's longsword was a divine Divine Artifact of the same rank as the Heaven-rending Sacred Abyss Halberd, so the Heaven-rending Sacred Abyss Halberd seemed unable to completely ignore the opponent's defense.

This meant that Blaze Emperor could do was gradually force Xu Xingyu back, without being able to deliver a fatal blow, leading to a prolonged stalemate in their battle.

To break this stalemate, one of the two must distance themselves from the other and use long-range attacks.

In the end, Blaze Emperor couldn't control his temper and personally abandoned his advantage, quickly retreating and calmly saying, "God Level Spiritual Power, God Level blood essence, and energy approaching God Level in a single strike. It seems you are the closest being to a god in this plane. No wonder two of those three good-for-nothings couldn't defeat you even when they joined forces."

"Three?" Xu Xingyu frowned, looking at the Blaze Emperor in front of her with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Could the three "trash" the other party was referring to be the Spirit Emperor, the Devil Emperor, and the Blaze Emperor? Then is the person in front of me not actually the Blaze Emperor? If so, this would explain why I feel a different kind of threat from the other party compared to before.

The problem is that in the Abyss, only the Blaze Emperor Heaven-rending Sacred Abyss Halberd...

Before Xu Xingyu could complete her mental deduction, "Blaze Emperor" continued, "However, while those three good-for-nothings can't do anything to you, I'm different. I'm going to bury you completely with this strike!!!"

After saying this, "Blaze Emperor" flew into the sky. Once he reached a certain height, he raised the Heaven-rending Sacred Abyss Halberd in his hand. Countless Abyss energies began to gather on the halberd, and the surrounding space began to distort as the energy gathered.

This is clearly the killing move that "Blaze Emperor" was referring to in order to eliminate Xu Xingyu.
