The Blood Tiger Howls at the Heavens, the Corpse Dragon Blazes Purple!
As the "Dragon Star Heaven-Splitting Slash" and the "Nether Rakshasa" collided violently, a huge crack was torn open in the sky. The dazzling starlight and the purple-black resentment power intertwined, as if they were about to devour this world. The shockwave spread out, the surrounding mountains began to crack, and the outer walls of the castle collapsed in the tremors, with dust flying everywhere.
The destruction caused by the clash between Xu Xingyu and Huo Yuhao's forces exceeded anyone's imagination. The two forces were locked in a stalemate in the air for a moment, and then erupted into an even more intense impact. Huo Yuhao's face grew increasingly gloomy, and cold sweat poured down his forehead. Despite using all his strength, he still could not suppress Xu Xingyu.
"How is this possible...!" Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment. He had clearly become the Rakshasa God, possessing supreme resentment and killing power, so why was he still no match for Xu Xingyu?
Just then, Xu Xingyu's eyes sharpened, and the power of the stars surged instantly. The light of the Abyss Blade shone even brighter, as if it would tear through all barriers. "It's over, Huo Yuhao!" Xu Xingyu's voice resounded like thunder. Immediately afterward, the starlight swept over Huo Yuhao's "Nether Rakshasa," and the overwhelming power completely engulfed him.
"Boom--!" Huo Yuhao was sent flying, the immense force slamming his body into the ground, instantly cracking the castle floor and creating a huge crater. Blood spilled from Huo Yuhao's mouth, and he fell into a coma.
However, despite his defeat, the resentment in the air did not dissipate; instead, it became even more frenzied.
Xu Xingyu stared at Huo Yuhao's fallen figure, his brows furrowed slightly. Buer's voice echoed in his mind again, "Father, be careful! The resentment hasn't completely dissipated; his power remains."
Suddenly, a low, eerie roar echoed from the depths of the castle, followed by the earth trembling. A powerful, Evil aura surged from the ground, and the air was filled with the stench of decay and blood. Xu Xingyu's gaze sharpened as she turned to look at the source of the sound.
"They're here..." Buer whispered.
Just then, a huge shadow slowly rose from the ground. It was a monster formed from the fusion of countless vengeful spirits and corpses. Its form was ferocious, with a tiger-shaped head and a coiled body like a dragon, exuding a strong aura of blood and resentment. This was Evil being summoned by Huo Yuhao's resentment and the Rakshasa Divine Power — the Blood Tiger Corpse Dragon.
"To think it could actually conjure such a monster..." Xu Xingyu's gaze turned cold, a sense of unease creeping into her heart. "And this power! Huo Yuhao, you've devoured the power of the Evil Eye Holy King and the power of the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon!"
"Good eye!" Huo Yuhao's voice came from within the Blood Tiger Corpse Dragon. "The old guy chose me as his successor mainly because he planned to devour me and use my fusion to find an opportunity to break through to the level of First-Level God."
"Fortunately, I obtained a Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon Core from Xu Tianran's corpse, which contained the last will of the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon Core. Its plan was to possess the body of someone who possessed the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon Bloodline."
"Because I devoured Xu Tianran, I can be considered to possess the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon Bloodline, which also meets his requirements for possession."
"Therefore, I simply let the Evil Eye Holy King fight against the will within that Dragon Core, while I myself will benefit from the conflict between the two."
"Both consciousnesses were severely injured in the final confrontation, but with the Sage King's assistance, I successfully used the power of the Rakshasa to devour their remaining strength!"
"Of course, this is also thanks to the unique skill given to me by the Tang Sect when I joined. Before I became Evil Soul Master, I never imagined that the Mysterious Heaven Skill would be such a perfect match for my devouring ability! It actually allows me to unify the power of multiple conflicting bloodlines!"
"I originally intended to reserve this form for the Cult Leader and the Sage King, but I truly never imagined that someone as insignificant as Xu Xingyu could push me to this point!!!"
The Blood Tiger Corpse Dragon let out a deafening roar, as if it harbored endless resentment towards all living beings. Its eyes were blood red, staring intently at Xu Xingyu, clearly under Huo Yuhao's control. It suddenly leaped into the air, opened its blood-red maw, and pounced on Xu Xingyu.
Xu Xingyu swiftly dodged to the side, gripping the Abyss once more. He gathered all his strength, preparing to confront this monster filled with resentment and slaughter. However, before he could unleash the Abyss, the Blood Tiger Corpse Dragon suddenly trembled, its resentment rapidly expanding. Then, its body began to become ethereal, as if it were about to merge with the air.
"Oh no! It's absorbing the surrounding vengeful spirits!" Xu Xingyu exclaimed in alarm.
The Blood Tiger Corpse Dragon's body gradually expanded, and the power of resentment flowed into its body like a tide. Its aura became increasingly powerful, as if all the vengeful spirits on the battlefield were drawn to it, becoming the source of its power.
"War spirits from the endless Abyss, grant me the power to burn once more!!!"
Resentment and Destruction power erupted from the Blood Tiger Corpse Dragon! Huo Yuhao may not have broken through to the First-Level God yet, but the next level will inevitably be equivalent to the attack of First-Level God!
He can no longer hold back!
Xu Xingyu realized that if he continued to delay, the Blood Tiger Corpse Dragon's power would only grow stronger. His eyes turned cold, and he decided to end the battle quickly.
"Dragon God Avatar Bone Armor!" he cried out in his heart.
A nine-colored dragon armor covered his entire body, and then a dazzling Dragon God Halo appeared around Xu Xingyu, the nine-colored light instantly enveloping the entire area.
"Dragon God One Breath Becomes Nine!" Xu Xingyu suddenly unleashed all of the Dragon God's Power, Abyss in his hand shone with nine-colored light, as if merging with heaven and earth. Then, he raised his longsword high, and the blade's light instantly transformed into nine beams, slashing towards the Blood Tiger Corpse Dragon in different directions.
The Blood Tiger Corpse Dragon let out a shrill roar, attempting to retaliate. However, the nine-colored blade light precisely severed its channel for absorbing vengeful spirits, instantly destroying its source of power. Its body began to tremble violently, and the surrounding vengeful spirits gradually dissipated under the impact of the blade light.
Xu Xingyu didn't stop there. Under his guidance, the four forces of light, darkness, time, and space converged into a huge dark golden lightning ball.
The Abyss in her hand transformed into a long spear, Abyss the power of the Light and Dark Lightning Orb. Then, Xu Xingyu leaped up and hurled the Abyss, which had absorbed the Light-Dark Divine Lightning, outwards.
Dark golden lightning filled the gun barrel, Abyss transformed into a dark golden flash that pierced through the vital point of the Blood Tiger Corpse Dragon!
"Roar--!" The Blood Tiger Corpse Dragon let out its last mournful howl. Then, under the onslaught comparable to a nuclear explosion, the Blood Tiger Corpse Dragon's body completely collapsed under the bombardment of the Light-Dark Divine Lightning, turning into a cloud of black mist and dissipating into the air.
Only the crater blasted by the Light-Dark Divine Lightning and a small black hole capable of absorbing the surrounding elements can prove that it once existed here.
With the Destruction of the Blood Tiger Corpse Dragon, the resentment on the entire battlefield dissipated, and the air finally returned to clarity.
Xu Xingyu slowly put away the Abyss, looked at Huo Yuhao's fallen figure, and sighed softly.
He felt no excitement or joy at the battle; instead, he felt a deep sense of helplessness.
"Huo Yuhao, you could have had a better future..." he murmured to himself.
But all of that is gone forever.
Xu Xingyu looked at the broken remains of the Blood Tiger Corpse Dragon in the pit, and a purifying flame appeared in her hand.
Under the purifying flames, Huo Yuhao's body and soul transformed into the purest power and dissipated into the world.
Hopefully, in his next life, Huo Yuhao will not walk this path again.
