A clash of azure and violet light slammed together in the void, a tempest of power colliding without restraint, echoing with a deafening roar as countless streaks of blade energy erupted, sweeping outward in all directions…
The Azure God beneath Fang Jiuyou shimmered with radiating blue light screens, rippling like water waves. Innumerable slashes of blade energy struck this barrier, causing ripples to spread, but utterly failing to shatter the shield. Only the massive rebound force was enough to violently send the man and the beast tumbling backward…
Xiao Taotao, mounted by Ye Jingyu, immediately deployed the Dragon’s Sigh, engulfing both of them in a golden radiance. They endured the impact of the furious energy, but the force was simply too immense, beyond Xiao Taotao’s current ability to withstand. After only a few breaths, the Dragon’s Sigh fractured completely…
Fortunately, by this time, Ye Jingyu and his companion had been hurled thousands of feet away, and the blade energy had significantly weakened. It only managed to shred Ye Jingyu’s outer garments to tatters, inflicting no substantial harm upon either man or beast…
On the ground below, a massive crater, spanning hundreds of feet in diameter, now marked where the residual shockwave from the conflict had struck…
Having finally stabilized themselves, astonishment was etched onto the faces of Ye Jingyu and his group. Fang Jiuyou was clearly only at the First Heaven of Martial God realm, yet his power was so immense? Was this entirely the strength of that mechanical beast? How could such a construct channel such terrifying force?
Currently, Ye Jingyu possessed the strength to slay any Martial Saint regardless of their realm, could kill a First Heaven Martial God, and even defeat a Second Heaven Martial God. Against a Third Heaven Martial God, victory or defeat would require a fight, yet now he couldn't even breach the defenses of Fang Jiuyou, whom he judged to be, at most, a First Heaven cultivator. How could he not be shocked?
“Quite the commendable power. Had you not offended this young master, I might have taken you as a household slave. Regrettably, your luck has run out. Azure God, annihilate them…” After regaining his stance, Fang Jiuyou scoffed coldly…
The Azure God beneath him suddenly opened its maw, and a beam of sapphire light tore through the sky, arriving instantly before Ye Jingyu. Ye Jingyu’s mind tightened, and he drew the Heavenly Sovereign Blade, slashing forward. Pushing his Tyrant Origin Power, the Heavenly Sovereign Blade exploded with dazzling purple light, shattering the incoming beam into scattered fragments. Yet, even the deflected blue shards managed to etch wounds across Ye Jingyu’s body…
Crimson blood immediately flowed. Ye Jingyu frowned, but before he could launch a second attack, an even mightier blue radiance surged toward him once more…
This time, it was not a single beam, but an entire flood, spreading outward like powerful, sweeping water waves, resembling a surging tide threatening to completely engulf Ye Jingyu and his companions…
“Retreat…” Ye Jingyu cried out, but his body felt inexplicably bound, rendering even the Shadow Star Steps useless. He could only watch helplessly as the blue water lines surged towards him…
The instant Ye Jingyu shouted to retreat, Liang Xiaoke dove into the earth. But seeing Ye Jingyu’s body remain fixed, alarm shot through her heart. Disregarding the formidable power, she lunged directly toward him, arriving at his side in a blink…
Sensing the crushing power, Huangfu Buyue, who had already begun to rapidly fall back, noticed Ye Jingyu frozen in place. After a slight hesitation, she too instantly moved to Ye Jingyu’s front…
But just as they reached Ye Jingyu’s side, both felt an overpowering force restrain their bodies, rendering them immobile for the moment…
“Hahaha, a pack of idiots! The Azure God’s Imprisonment Technique can only bind within a few meters of range. I was planning to kill him first and then deal with you, but you’ve walked right into the trap! Hahaha!” Seeing the two vying to shield Ye Jingyu, Fang Jiuyou laughed triumphantly. By this time, the colossal blue tide was nearly upon Ye Jingyu and the others…
Feeling the immense power contained within the blue waves, horror filled the eyes of the three. This force was surely capable of erasing all three of them…
Especially Ye Jingyu. Seeing that the two had not fled but positioned themselves before him, his heart nearly ripped apart with guilt…
They were restrained because of him; how could he allow them to die? And Luo Ling’er was waiting for him—how could he die?
The Tyrant Origin Power within his body circulated wildly, a fierce aura continuously erupting. Faintly, the sound of splitting void could be heard—the sound of the binding power being shattered by his own might…
He took a step forward, positioning himself squarely in front of Liang Xiaoke and Huangfu Buyue, then violently smashed his own fist into his chest with a sharp crack. His mouth reflexively flew open…
Nether Howl!
A devastating sonic wave burst from his lips. Countless black specters materialized in the void, and cracks began to appear in the space before him, as if it might shatter completely at any second…
Even the blue light wave emitted by the mechanical beast was violently disrupted by this intense sound, eventually canceling out the sonic wave entirely. However, the resulting massive energy still carved long scars into the ground…
As for the Azure God’s binding power, it was pulverized instantly…
Seeing Ye Jingyu shatter the Azure God’s attack, a trace of surprise flickered in Fang Jiuyou’s eyes; he clearly hadn't expected this fellow to possess such power…
Yet, a cold smile touched his lips. If he couldn't even handle this one opponent, what face would he have to manage the Fang Clan in the future?
“Azure God, ultimate combination: Water Roar Extreme Wave…” Fang Jiuyou coldly uttered. As his voice fell, the Azure God beneath him once again blazed with blue light. Its interior seemed boundless, and streams of brilliant blue radiance completely enveloped Fang Jiuyou. Powerful energies surged into his form, making his aura grow stronger and larger until even the Halberd in his hand shot forth threads of blue light…
At this moment, perched atop a mountain peak several miles distant, Hu Yanqi, bare-chested, stood with a bow in his left hand and the string drawn taut by his right. Thanks to his extraordinary eyesight, he could clearly observe the battle miles away. At this instant, his entire focus was locked onto the pale blue mechanical beast…
