Chapter 569: The Clash Between Two Top Celestials
As soon as Hecate moved in his direction, every fiber of Jiu Shen"s body screamed danger! He knew right away that this simple-minded brute was someone who could threaten his life!
Jiu Shen saw a huge crimson hammer threatening to smash him into smithereens. Violent crimson flames covered the hammer"s body giving off the impression similar to that of a Fire Dragon!
The sheer power behind the hammer was enough to flatten an entire region and this dangerous weapon was now aiming to take his life.
Facing this situation, Jiu Shen"s expression was calm. He summoned his true essence and gathered it around his Baleful Dragon Sacred Sword.
Golden threads of energy wrapped around his sword and the dragon engravings on the sword"s body seemed to have become alive.
CLAAANGG!!!
A violent explosion rang out as their weapons collided. The muscles on Jiu Shen"s arms bulged to an abnormal degree. His golden eyes flashed with a hint of coldness as he stared at Hecate"s eyes, the only thing visible since his face was covered by a helmet.
The soldiers who were fighting one thousand meters near them were immediately thrown away by the resulting shockwave of their clas.h.!.+
Even the Celestials had to summon their spiritual force and true essence to create a barrier to prevent themselves from being swept away because of their attacks!
"Those two would destroy the entire Desert Region with their battle! It"s a good thing that we had already evacuated all the inhabitants beforehand or billions of innocent people would be killed." Jian w.a.n.g muttered with a dumbfounded look as he watched the two Celestials fighting tooth and nail. He clenched his fists when he realized the difference in their powers. He didn"t know that even Jiu Shen was already a lot stronger than he was.
Elena and Asmodeus nodded their heads in agreement. The power shown by the two was so destructive that they wouldn"t be surprised if the entire Desert Region would be overturned after the battle.
Lilith who was observing their fight was also feeling shocked in her heart. She couldn"t believe that there was actually someone who could contend against Hecate in a clash of pure strength!
Hecate was someone with a physique that exceeded the norms. Even the Lord praised him once about this. Hecate"s anma power had already reached the peak of the Celestial G.o.d Realm and he even had the chance to step into the rank similar to the Lord! The only issue about Hecate was his lacking intelligence. If not for that, he would have been a terrifying expert!
With an indestructible physical body and the Celestial-rank crimson armor bestowed by the Lord, there was no way to defeat this guy through physical means. Only spiritual attacks and magical attacks could somehow threaten him.
Hecate was stunned when he noticed that Jiu Shen wasn"t thrown away after blocking his hammer. This hammer was also a Celestial-rank weapon and its power was among the top! However, this silver-haired young human was actually able to block his attack by only using a sword!
"Boy, you"ve surprised me! Now, I"ll be more serious!" Hecate distanced himself from Jiu Shen and looked at his opponent in a new light. This man was indeed dangerous!
Jiu Shen merely smiled when he heard the words of Hecate, but he was also astonished by this brute"s prowess! He could feel his arms shaking almost unnoticeably.
Almost after his words left his mouth, Hecate launch a more powerful strike that caused the s.p.a.ce around them to shake!
The sky cracked as if it couldn"t handle the power behind Hecate"s hammer!
Jiu Shen also felt the terrifying force and he immediately performed a beautiful sword dance. "Second Sword Dance: Swallowing the Sky." He whispered silently.
When the two opposing powers clashed, a blinding light appeared followed by an earth-splitting explosion as if the end of the world was about to come.
BOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!
Everyone covered their eyes for a few seconds and they also fled in all directions, afraid that they would be caught up in the aftermath of the violent clash between the two top Celestials.
When they opened their eyes, they saw a huge crater that spanned about a hundred kilometers. They also saw two figures glaring at each other. Their battle armors still appeared to be intact and there were no obvious injuries on either of them aside from some minor scratches on Jiu Shen"s handsome face.
The attack he summoned earlier was the Second Sword Dance of his strongest sword technique, but Hecate didn"t even seem to be affected. He couldn"t help but glance at the brute"s crimson armor with interest. It was a priceless defensive treasure!
"Human, your power has exceeded my expectations! However, if that was the extent of your strength, then you can forget about defeating me!" Hecate raised his head arrogantly as he stared at Jiu Shen"s b.l.o.o.d.y face. Although the human only received minor wounds, the difference in their power was clear to everyone.
Jiu Shen didn"t even bother to wipe off the blood on his face as he grinned. "I"m only starting so you better be prepared!"
Jiu Shen lifted his sword and pointed it upwards as he muttered. "Third Sword Dance: Descent of the Comet."
The sky parted and a huge ball of fire suddenly emerged, scaring everyone out of their wits.
"That thing! Isn"t that the attack used by Wine G.o.d Jiu Shen to kill Celestial Emperor Lao Gou back then?! The Heavenly Sword Region was even partially damaged because of that attack!"
Jian w.a.n.g felt a chill in his spine when he saw the gigantic ma.s.s of flames. "s.h.i.+t! What is that guy thinking!? Quick! Make everyone retreat! I"ll create a barrier to protect us! Elena, summon a spiritual barrier! Asmodeus, take out your Defensive Array Formations!"
Everyone immediately retreated under the commands of the three Celestials. Elyssier who was still hidden beneath the sands also retreated with the rest.
Dread filled the hearts of everyone present as they watched the giant comet descend from the skies!
