A myriad of dazzling light explosions erupted almost simultaneously, the sword thrust like the wind! The stars fell like rain! It was as if countless dragons were churning the seas within the vast expanse of falling stars.
The myriad starry thunders were struck in an instant by the incredibly swift greatsword of light wielded by Shengyan Zhenyu, exploding into pieces!
A continuous, muffled roaring echoed through the heavens!
It shook everyone's eardrums until they buzzed almost to the point of bursting!
"Ah! Ptooey!" Yun Shang and Yun Xi both sprayed a mouthful of blood at the same time, having been directly shocked into spitting blood and fainting by the dull roar!
Those with weaker cultivation also coughed up blood on the spot, looking utterly wretched!
"Quickly help the young mistress and young master away," Yun Lei exclaimed in alarm.
Not only that!
The turbulent fragments of battle qi howled out over a great distance, like countless cannonballs.
They struck the houses, streets, and trees within a thousand meters surrounding the plaza, followed by earth-shattering roars and violent shaking, and the soaring dust made everyone present feel as if their livers and guts were about to tear apart.
"Ah! This! How is this possible?" Qing Long was utterly horrified!
"Is this the power of a God of War?" Feng Qingtian's trembling voice held an indescribable strangeness: "Is this truly a power that humans can command?"
On the field!
The starry thunders spiraling downward were smashed into powder and burst apart!
However, the nine dragon shadows intertwined within them suddenly surged in speed at the moment the star cloud exploded! They instantly appeared within a three-zhang radius surrounding Shengyan Zhenyu!
But Shengyan Zhenyu's reaction was even faster than lightning! Heaven-Opening Greatsword!
It cast out a dazzling sword glow like a whirling windmill, striking the nine dragon shadows incredibly fast in the briefest moment!
Clash! Rumble, rumble, rumble!
The struck dragon shadows exploded again! They formed a neat circle of light explosions that ringed Shengyan Zhenyu, trapping him inside! While the explosive force was astonishing, Shengyan Zhenyu was rendered completely immobile. The simultaneous explosions coming from all directions were blocked by his powerful protective battle qi and the Phoenix Heaven Demonic Armor!
However, the impact force from the explosions coming from all sides pressed down on Shengyan Zhenyu like countless mountains converging, nearly crushing him to dust!
What made matters worse was that the hazy afterimage high in the sky had already flown overhead, and azure sword light flashed again!
It was another incomparably fast, extremely fierce strike! This imposing sword intent was the strongest physical attack of Jiuyou Shenzhen—coming from the center of the vortex!
"Roar! Get away!" Shengyan Zhenyu roared like thunder!
The Phoenix Heaven Body Protection, which had been pushed to its limit, surged again, showing no intention of retreating whatsoever. The Heaven-Opening Greatsword shot straight up like lightning!
Clash! Rumble!
The blunt edge of the Heaven-Opening Greatsword, with near-supernatural skill, collided with the dragon shadow sword tip descending from the sky!
Clang! The impact force, capable of piercing sun and moon, actually bent the tough body of the dragon shadow sword into an exaggerated C-shape curve!
But, in that instant!
The dragon shadow sword, compressed to its limit, suddenly straightened and rebounded!
The afterimage, which had fallen like a comet, shot back into the high sky with a whoosh! Its speed was simply outrageous!
Shengyan Zhenyu didn't even have a chance to counterattack!
Damn it, he escaped again!
This was the brilliance of the Nine Heavens Star River Sword Technique: if the first strike missed, it immediately rebounded high into the sky. In this state, Jiuyou Shenzhen held the positional advantage of the high ground, ensuring he was always the aggressor, while Shengyan Zhenyu could only defend passively!
Unless he leaped into the sky to engage Jiuyou Shenzhen in an aerial battle.
But facing Jiuyou Shenzhen, who excelled in movement speed and mastered the swiftness of the dragon shadow, who dared to challenge him high above?
Tactically speaking, Jiuyou Shenzhen had already secured an unassailable position!
However, in terms of battle qi energy and defense, Shengyan Zhenyu held the absolute upper hand; otherwise, that earlier strike would have pierced through and defeated him.
This meant it was equally difficult for Jiuyou Shenzhen to break through his defenses!
Using the impact force of the Heaven-Opening Greatsword and the rebound force of the dragon shadow sword, Jiuyou Shenzhen flew back to the high sky once more!
But the attacks had not stopped!
Everyone in the world knew clearly!
The remaining legacy of the Nine Heavens Star River Sword Technique comprised four moves, and Jiuyou Shenzhen had only executed two!
Therefore, subsequent attacks were inevitable!
As expected!
When the ascending afterimage reached its highest point!
A muffled roar sounded again in mid-air!
"Take this next move! Moon Destruction, Star Sinking!"
In an instant, the entire sky seemed to be dyed a fiery red by the sunset glow!
It was as if the clouds and mist across the sky were being burned by raging flames!
And within this expanse of flaming red clouds! A massive sphere of bloody light appeared exceptionally conspicuous!
Like a dazzling scarlet comet! A blood-red, dazzling comet! It dragged a vast, crimson streak of light across the gloomy, strange sky, hurtling toward the ground with terrifying, world-destroying might!
"It really is Moon Destruction, Star Sinking!" Feng Qingtian cried out loudly!
Qing Long and the others couldn't help but change color drastically! The intensity of the battle had far exceeded their imagination; the duel between these two masters seemed limitless!
No one knew how much more power they still held in reserve!
Anyone could clearly feel that this epoch-making battle was still escalating infinitely.
Moon Destruction, Star Sinking! A powerful killing move from the Nine Heavens Star River Sword Technique, possessing the terrifying might to destroy stars and pull down the moon!
Even Shengyan Zhenyu, the Phoenix Heaven God of War, couldn't help but have his expression change drastically.
The first two moves of the Nine Heavens Star River Sword Technique relied on skill, speed, and bewildering changes to win, but starting from the third move, it became a direct, head-on confrontation without any flashiness! It was the strongest strike unleashed by concentrating the entire body's power!
However, this was precisely the moment Shengyan Zhenyu had been desperately waiting for!
Yes, in terms of sheer power, the Phoenix Heaven God of War held an absolute advantage, especially since he was clad in the Phoenix Heaven Demonic Armor! Previously, Shengyan Zhenyu could not fully utilize his power advantage because Jiuyou Shenzhen's descending aerial attacks offered him no suitable opportunity!
If a strike missed, he would immediately retreat—a tactic so frustratingly evasive!
This left Shengyan Zhenyu with immense power but no means to unleash it!
Now, this opportunity for a direct clash of strength had finally arrived, and he would not let it slip easily!
A contest of power?
I welcome it!
Now I will show you what the true Phoenix Heaven God of War is!
At this moment, Shengyan Zhenyu held back nothing!
"Phoenix Heaven Infinite! Nirvana Rebirth!"
The Phoenix Heaven Wings behind him suddenly opened! They appeared like a fire phoenix burning with purple flames! And the protective battle qi of Phoenix Heaven, previously operating at its maximum, incredibly surged wildly in this instant, like an exploding nuclear bomb!
Similar to the Heavenly Demon Infinite of the Demon Sealing Empire, Phoenix Heaven Infinite of the Holy Word Church was also a terrifying technique that instantly boosted one's battle qi!
But unlike Heavenly Demon Infinite, Phoenix Heaven Infinite utilized the power of the Phoenix Heaven Demonic Armor, not the battle qi within the body.
In a normal state, the Phoenix Heaven Wings manifested as a cloak worn outwardly, and only when the Phoenix Heaven Wings were fully unfurled was the full power of the Phoenix Heaven Demonic Armor unleashed!
It could be said that up until now, Shengyan Zhenyu had only relied on his own battle qi cultivation and the basic power of the Phoenix Heaven Demonic Armor to contend with Jiuyou Shenzhen!
Being proud, he absolutely refused to rely on the power of the Phoenix Heaven Wings to defeat Jiuyou Shenzhen! In his eyes, that would be an unfair victory, akin to cheating.
But when faced with the terrifying killing move of Moon Destruction, Star Sinking, he clearly perceived the horrifying power of this move. If he clung to his pointless self-esteem, even if he managed to withstand Moon Destruction, Star Sinking, it would still be enough to shatter him into pieces!
Thus, only at this moment did he unveil the Phoenix Heaven God of War's ultimate trump card!
Following the activation of Phoenix Heaven Infinite, the power of the Phoenix Heaven Demonic Armor also reached its ultimate peak in this instant.
In other words, this was the true ultimate state of the Phoenix Heaven God of War! A threefold increase in power compared to his normal state!
Of course, controlling the Phoenix Heaven Demonic Armor in the Phoenix Heaven Infinite state was no simple feat!
Like the three layers of Heavenly Demon Infinite!
The Phoenix Heaven Infinite of the Phoenix Heaven Demonic Armor was also divided into three layers, and this first layer was Nirvana Rebirth!
In this state, both the quantity and defensive power of the Phoenix Heaven Demonic Armor increased threefold!
This was also the limit Shengyan Zhenyu could execute; if he hadn't been forced into a desperate situation, he would never have deployed such an extremely perilous technique!
A boost in power without corresponding awareness and reaction to coordinate made it difficult to truly exert the full power of the Phoenix Heaven Demonic Armor, and it was also a massive test of the body's tolerance!
Historically, there were no small number of Phoenix Heaven Warriors who were backlashed by the power of the Phoenix Heaven Demonic Armor!
In terms of danger, it was no less terrifying than the Heavenly Demon Infinite technique.
One slip-up and one could instantly explode and die. The novel was sorted and published on l⑹
However, once successfully executed, the power would be absolutely astonishing, and compared to Heavenly Demon Infinite, although Phoenix Heaven Infinite was perilous, once the state was successfully deployed and then deactivated, there were no terrifying aftereffects.
Therefore, the key lay in the user's control ability.
With Shengyan Zhenyu's cultivation, he could barely manage the first layer!
Amidst a furious roar!
The purple Phoenix Heaven Wings suddenly unfolded!
Battle qi surged wildly in an instant!
Everyone clearly felt Shengyan Zhenyu's aura explode outward in that moment, as if a bomb had detonated!
Even more astonishingly, the Heaven-Opening Greatsword suddenly transformed again, growing from its original fifteen meters to a massive twenty-meter purple flaming greatsword!
"Dragon Sky Shatters Moon!" With a wild shout, in the state of Phoenix Heaven Infinite's first layer, Nirvana Rebirth, Shengyan Zhenyu finally unleashed the third move of the Sun Chasing Sword Art! This move could only be executed in this state!
It possessed terrifying power capable of destroying heaven and earth!
The purple greatsword rose like a giant purple dragon soaring to the heavens!
It charged toward the blood-red comet crashing down from the sky!
"Ah!"
Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, staring fixedly at the heaven-supporting greatsword wreathed in purple flames!
This would be the final, desperate strike!
No one could imagine the consequences when these two ultimate moves collided!
Yet, everyone clearly felt that in terms of raw power, Shengyan Zhenyu absolutely far surpassed Jiuyou Shenzhen at this moment.
The purple giant dragon soaring upward was capable of smashing the descending blood-red comet to pieces!
"No!" Yue Yao was struck with utter dismay!
"Dodge quickly!" Jiuyou Chongyang roared frantically, abandoning all caution!
As a heavy armored general, he was acutely aware of the terrifying killing move of the Phoenix Heaven God of War!
No matter how strong Jiuyou Shenzhen was, he could not withstand Shengyan Zhenyu under the power of Phoenix Heaven Infinite!
Whoosh, whoosh!
The purple giant dragon soared into the sky!
And then it slammed into the blood-red comet!
Ah!
Everyone couldn't help but cry out loudly!
