Chapter 2083: Battle to the Death
The Heavenly s.p.a.ce G.o.d has lost count of how many layers of s.p.a.ce that the Celestial Thearch had destroyed.
The Celestial Thearch’s imperial robe was in tatters, and his entire body was stained with blood, making it appear as if he were in quite a sorry state.
However, the Heavenly s.p.a.ce G.o.d knew that he was the one that was truly in a sorry state.
The Infinite Divine s.p.a.ce was indeed infinite.
However, he didn’t have infinite energy to maintain the Infinite Divine s.p.a.ce!
He had already overexerted his heavenly power just to unleash that spell technique. In the face of such a powerful Heavenly G.o.d Technique, not only was the Celestial Thearch not being held at bay, he was instead still advancing toward his enemy. As such, the Heavenly s.p.a.ce G.o.d had no choice but to increase his power output…
Crack crack crack…
More and more cracks began to appear on his divine halo.
The Celestial Thearch showed no signs of stopping.
Heavenly G.o.ddess Wu Lan rushed over to the scene in order to provide reinforcements. However, the Celestial Thearch aimed a casual swat at her, and boundless power of the heavens erupted to strike her turtle sh.e.l.l, sending her flying into the distance.
He was still able to attack even while breaking through the countless layers of s.p.a.ce before him. That observation made the Heavenly s.p.a.ce G.o.d even more anxious.
The Celestial Thearch was still steadily approaching.
The Heavenly s.p.a.ce G.o.d gritted his teeth and persevered for dear life.
One spatial barricade was shattered after another.
The Celestial Thearch wore a faint smile on his bloodstained face as he stalked him down like a Death G.o.d that was about to harvest his life.
It was the first time that the Heavenly s.p.a.ce G.o.d had ever been struck by such a feeling.
However, he wasn’t overly fl.u.s.tered. Maintaining the Infinite Divine s.p.a.ce required a vast amount of energy, but wouldn’t maintaining the Celestial Thearch’s current state also incur a heavy cost? The Celestial Thearch couldn’t keep that up forever. As such, everything boiled down to a battle of endurance.
The Heavenly s.p.a.ce G.o.d was confident that he would outlast his opponent.
“Infinite Divine s.p.a.ce?”
The Celestial Thearch gripped the air and slowly pulled out a s.h.i.+mmering celestial sword from a spatial crack. The boundless power of the heavens as well as the free-flowing energy began to converge upon its blade in a frenzy.
The Heavenly s.p.a.ce G.o.d’s eyes widened in shock. What was going on? Why didn’t he continue to shatter the layers of s.p.a.ce? Why was he pulling out a sword all of a sudden? Could it be that he wanted to…
No, impossible! They were separated by several dozens of meters, which comprised the distance of another Infinite Divine s.p.a.ce! That was a barricade created by countless layers of s.p.a.ce that were imbued with divine power. Such an insanely powerful fortress couldn’t be broken by force…
Whoos.h.!.+
The celestial sword was s.h.i.+mmering with boundless light, and it came cras.h.i.+ng down with infinite power.
In that instant, the entire heaven and earth were transformed into a vast expanse of black and white. Only that sword exuded extremely vibrant lights, creating a gorgeous yet lethal spectacle!
Layers of s.p.a.ce began to crack open, making it sound as if countless firecrackers were exploding in quick succession.
The Heavenly s.p.a.ce G.o.d could see that the layers of s.p.a.ce before him were being sliced in half at an incredible rate. No matter how many layers of s.p.a.ce the sword blade came into contact with, the latter could still plow through with unstoppable force.
Tear!
The sword flashed past, and a spectacular blade projection punctured the heavens.
The Heavenly s.p.a.ce G.o.d’s eyes widened as he stared blankly at his severed Infinite Divine s.p.a.ce. A crimson line appeared on his body, extending all the way from his head to his feet. Then, right before the astonished eyes of countless living beings, his entire body split in half and fell to the ground below.
“That was nothing much.” The Celestial Thearch retracted his sword with boundless authority and majesty on his face.
The Kingdom of the Nine States United Army burst into cheers at the sight of the almighty emperor.
The Celestial Thearch was just as bada.s.s and reliable as he always was! He had taken on three Heavenly G.o.ds and came out on top; as expected of the former most powerful being in the Kingdom of the Nine States!
Boom!
The two halves of the Heavenly s.p.a.ce G.o.d’s body fell to the ground, shattering and dissipating into countless specks of light.
However, those specks of light quickly converged and materialized into a tall and handsome man; that man was none other than the Heavenly s.p.a.ce G.o.d!
He appeared to be completely unscathed, but his divine halo was cracked to a ridiculous extent. There were tens of thousands of cracks lining its surface, and it was a miracle that it had not disintegrated yet.
“Hehe, here’s another one for you.” The Celestial Thearch wasn’t all that surprised by his opponent’s resurrection. Instead, he pulled out another dazzling celestial sword. The boundless power of the heavens, as well as free-flowing energy, gathered toward its blade.
The Heavenly s.p.a.ce G.o.d’s teeth chattered upon seeing that.
Again?!
He was capable of unleas.h.i.+ng that terrifying attack more than once?!
“Wu Lan!” the Heavenly s.p.a.ce G.o.d yelled into the distance.
He had to call for reinforcements!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
The golden turtle sh.e.l.l spun at an extremely quick rate, tearing through the sea of energy around it and cras.h.i.+ng toward the Celestial Thearch.
The Celestial Thearch raised a hand and swatted it aside again.
He didn’t even look at her throughout the entire process.
The Heavenly s.p.a.ce G.o.d almost swore out loud at the sight of Heavenly G.o.ddess Wu Lan, who had been sent flying again. Could she have put any less effort into her attempt to come to his aid?
“Give up. No one can save you.” The Celestial Thearch raised his celestial sword high into the sky.
The Heavenly s.p.a.ce G.o.d wanted to flee, but he discovered that all of the energy between heaven and earth was locking him in place. He had been completely immobilized by a terrifying invisible prison.
Am I going to die?
The Heavenly s.p.a.ce G.o.d looked on at his ridiculous mighty opponent, and a sense of resignation and remorse welled up in his heart. He had thought that this battle would be a one-sided slaughter in their favor. He had thought that they would slay the Celestial Thearch with ease and completely crush the morale of the Kingdom of the Nine States United Army.
But who would have thought that the three of them would be dominated by the Celestial Thearch instead?
However, right at that moment, heaven and earth suddenly descended into darkness.
It was already night time, but the darkness was clearly different as it was able to obscure the light from all spell techniques, as well as even the moon and stars.
A man with nine divine halos revolving around him and a black feather cloak draped over his body appeared before everyone. He held a dark longsword, upon which nine peculiar stars were s.h.i.+mmering.
That man was none other than Heavenly G.o.d Dong Long, who had been completely crushed not long ago!
A grave expression finally appeared on the Celestial Thearch’s face at the sight of Heavenly G.o.d Dong Long. “Nine divine halos… I haven’t decided to kill you yet, but you’re committing suicide?”
Once a Divine Heaven Stage Heavenly Human activated all nine divine halos, they would attain unimaginable power, but the price they had to pay for that power was their life!
Heavenly G.o.d Dong Long grinned upon hearing the Celestial Thearch’s words.
“As long as I can kill you, my sacrifice will be worth it!”
Darkness surged wildly.
All of the power of the heavens and free-flowing energy around the Celestial Thearch were being swallowed by an invisible dark hole.
Heavenly G.o.d Dong Long raised his black sword, which was the manifestation of all nine of his divine halos joined together.
“Heavenly G.o.d Technique, World Ending Sword, Darkness of Origin!”
Heavenly G.o.d Dong Long flew over to the Celestial Thearch before slas.h.i.+ng his sword violently through the air!
The Celestial Thearch also lashed out at Heavenly G.o.d Dong Long with his celestial sword. Piercing light burst forth from the blade of his sword; that was the power of the heavens. It was absolute power that was derived after gathering all of the power on the entire battlefield!
Boom!
The two bursts of energy clashed.
Astonis.h.i.+ngly fearsome energy exploded forth.
The World Ending Sword was imbued with the laws of darkness, the earth, the sky, moonlight, the power of the heavens, vital energy, particles, energy, s.p.a.ce, dao realm… Everything was going to be reduced to nothingness in its wake. Not only that, but the cutting power, gravitational force, power of karma, and power of death contained within the sword made it even more devastatingly powerful.
The Celestial Thearch’s sword strike was by no means weak either; it was a monstrous attack that had almost managed to insta-kill the Heavenly s.p.a.ce G.o.d.
However, as soon as the clash ensued, the Celestial Thearch could sense that his celestial sword was being quickly engulfed.
The power of darkness was too strong. Even though he was at the height of his powers, he was still unable to defend against it!
“Break!”
Brilliant light erupted from the divine patterns on the Celestial Thearch’s body, and he let loose an enraged roar as he pressed his celestial sword downward.
Pure white energy exploded violently, and it was even showing signs of overpowering the darkness!
However, there seemed to be no end to the darkness, as if it were a bottomless abyss that would never disappear until it engulfed everything before it…
Gale-force winds swept through the air as destructive power wreaked havoc. The s.p.a.ce and earth within a radius of over a thousand kilometers had been transformed into a lethal realm, in which Heavenly G.o.d Dong Long and the Celestial Thearch waged battle.
The shockwaves from their clash even sent the nearby Heavenly s.p.a.ce G.o.d flying.
He was already on the brink of death, and that fearsome blast had almost killed him.
Many of the living beings from the Kingdom of the Nine States and Heavenly Human Tribe United Armies were also struck by the shockwaves, and some of them flew back through the air with blood gus.h.i.+ng from their mouths, while others were reduced to dust on the spot. However, none of them said anything in response. Instead, they were staring at the battle in the distance with anxiety and uneasiness in their eyes.
They wanted to know the result!
The clash between the two bursts of energy lasted almost twenty seconds before finally disappearing. However, there appeared to be no victor as they had disappeared simultaneously.
At the same time, two figures were revealed in the air.
