Trading Wounds for a Life!!!

Looking at the scene that resembled the end of the world, Xu Xingyu broke out in a cold sweat. This was the first time in his life that he had felt such a strong sense of threat.

Admittedly, he had never faced a stronger being than the one before him who resembled the Blaze Emperor, such as Tang San's clone or Gu Yuena. However, aside from being caught off guard the first time, he had always prepared countermeasures in advance for the former, while the latter rarely fought him seriously.

However, Xu Xingyu had no time to feel fear in the current situation, so he could only suppress his fear and make the best countermeasures against this apocalyptic attack.

Then, the light representing the elements controlled by Xu Xingyu's Dragon God's Power —red, blue, cyan, yellow, white, black, silver, and gold—reappeared and, just like before, condensed on the blade.

Unlike last time, this time the eight elements did not use the Abyss as a medium to form a forty-meter-long sword. Instead, they all converged and compressed within the blade of the Abyss, causing Abyss to emit bursts of eight-colored light due to the large amount of energy.

This move is the same one Xu Xingyu used to deal with the Spirit Emperor and the Devil Emperor: the Return to Origin Slash.

This is a technique that Xu Xingyu created himself after being taught elemental techniques by Gu Yuena and after repeatedly condensing Elemental Storm within his body.

The so-called Return to Origin Slash is a technique that combines the vacuum effect caused by the fusion of multiple elements with the ability to strip away elements, ultimately forming a move that can transform all things into the most primal energy.

Therefore, anything that touches the blade of the Return to Origin Slash will be broken down into energy, which will then be absorbed by the Abyss and ultimately fed back to Xu Xingyu herself.

When Xu Xingyu used this move against the Spirit Emperor and the Devil Emperor, he transformed the bodies, Abyss energy, and spiritual energy of the two Abyss emperors into the most primordial Chaos Qi, and then devoured them with the help of Abyss and Buer.

Of course, this move cannot decompose and absorb everything, such as the Abyssal Core carried by the Abyss Emperor and the Heaven-rending Sacred Abyss Halberd in the hands of the Blaze Emperor.

The Abyssal Core remains unaffected because it is a fragment of the Plane Core of the Abyss Plane, a crystal formed from pure planar energy. Planar energy is energy compressed from Chaos Qi, and therefore it is not affected by the Return to Origin Slash.

The Heaven-rending Sacred Abyss Halberd was not affected by the Return to Origin Slash because Xu Xingyu's current cultivation level was insufficient to decompose something of this Super Divine Artifact level.

Xu Xingyu chose to use this move for three reasons: First, he wanted to use the decomposition property of the Returning Origin Return to Origin Slash to weaken the attack in front of him and prevent it from affecting the Sea God Island behind him.

Secondly, this move is the most powerful among his existing close-combat techniques, and it is the most likely to counter the move that the current Blaze Emperor is about to use.

Third, the Abyss in his hand is the only weapon that can clash with the Heaven-rending Sacred Abyss Halberd, so he needs the Abyss to fight the Heaven-rending Sacred Abyss Halberd head-on.

After all, the so-called "ignore defense" characteristic of the Heaven-rending Sacred Abyss Halberd is not a true ability to ignore any defense. If it is facing a weapon or armor of the same level, it may have a chance of penetrating, but it cannot completely ignore its defense.

However, this only applies to physical forms. If it is an energy form, then the Heaven-rending Sacred Abyss Halberd can be used like an unstoppable force, completely ignoring energy-based attacks and defenses.

This is why the Heaven-rending Sacred Abyss Halberd is the most feared Super Divine Artifact in the entire Abyss Plane, because all creatures in the Abyss Plane are energy-based beings, and are naturally countered by the Heaven-rending Sacred Abyss Halberd.

Therefore, Xu Xingyu specifically considered the Heaven-rending Sacred Abyss Halberd's ability to ignore defense, and thus chose to concentrate all the energy within the Abyss, instead of condensing it into a forty-meter-long blade as before.

Only the Abyss, possessing a physical form and being Super Divine Artifact, has a chance to contend with the Heaven-rending Sacred Abyss Halberd. In fact, to ensure sharpness, Xu Xingyu shrunk the original Abyss, which was the length of a human body, into a long sword about 93.3 cm long, with a guard about 12.3 cm wide and a blade about 5.5 cm wide.

However, this also meant that Xu Xingyu had to further compress the energy of the Return to Origin Slash, otherwise it would easily lead to energy leakage and weakening. If Xu Xingyu's Spiritual Power hadn't already reached the level of Second-Level God, his Soul Power would have already gone out of control and he would have ended up exploding and dying.

Even so, Xu Xingyu's current situation is not much better. At this moment, even with his God Level physical body, Xu Xingyu feels as if his hands are burning. Intense Soul Power pressure is emanating from the Abyss, like a volcano about to erupt.

At the same time, "Blaze Emperor" frowned as he watched Xu Xingyu gather energy. From the way he was gathering energy, "Blaze Emperor" knew that Xu Xingyu had somehow noticed the characteristics of the Heaven-rending Sacred Abyss Halberd.

Moreover, judging from the posture, the attack Xu Xingyu was preparing was extremely terrifying. If he didn't descend in his true form, dealing with this attack would be quite troublesome.

Fortunately, I had almost finished gathering my strength, while the other party seemed to need some more time. Anyway, I wasn't exactly a righteous person, so I didn't need to adhere to any martial ethics.

"Abyss Thrust!"

The "Blaze Emperor" then launched the Heaven-rending Sacred Abyss Halberd, which was Entanglement immense Abyss energy, like a javelin. The Heaven-rending Sacred Abyss Halberd was like a black meteorite about to fall, ready to deliver judgment and despair to everything on earth.

Seeing the apocalyptic attack, Xu Xingyu gritted his teeth involuntarily. Then, he made a surprising choice for the onlookers: he raised his knife and transformed into a purple meteor, shooting straight into the sky.

"Boom!!!!"

The purple meteor climbing towards the sky soon collided with the black meteorite that was about to judge the living beings on earth. The two seemed to be trying to Destruction each other, neither willing to give way nor compromise.

"Blaze Emperor" merely stared coldly at the scene before him, then muttered dismissively to himself, "What an idiot. With your power not even fully charged, crashing into him only resulted in one thing: Destruction."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, something incredible happened. For some reason, the black light shifted slightly, and the purple meteor seized the opportunity to launch an attack, pushing the Heaven-rending Sacred Abyss Halberd towards Blaze Emperor!

"What! This is impossible!!!" Blaze Emperor exclaimed in disbelief.

However, the incredible events were not over yet. Just as "Blaze Emperor" realized what was happening and wanted to leave quickly, he clearly saw Xu Xingyu's figure in the purple meteor.

Despite her body being pierced through the heart by the Heaven-rending Sacred Abyss Halberd, Xu Xingyu launched an attack on herself! It was precisely because of this momentary lapse in concentration that Xu Xingyu attacked "Blaze Emperor" with lightning speed.

"Return to Origin Slash!!!"
