134: The sword comes out of the blue sky, breaking the legend!
The sky above the Red Soil Plateau had already become a battleground for legendary powers.
Golden, crimson, and purple divine lights, like three exploding stars, fiercely collided and annihilated each other, with every clash erupting in terrifying fluctuations capable of tearing the earth apart.
The scattered energy aftermath swept across thousands of meters in the sky.
The thick, blood-red clouds that had covered the sky were instantly torn apart by this impact, revealing the purple sky of the Woma World behind them.
Apolosi of Radiant City still stood proudly in the center of the Holy Light Domain, but the dazzling golden light, compared to its initial brilliance, had already dimmed considerably.
The power she gained by burning her legendary origin was being eroded by Ignis and Echidna working together.
"Apolosi, give up! How much longer can your nascent 'Sacred Domain' last?"
Ignis's voice rumbled across the sky like thunder, molten rock surging around him, transforming him into a hundred-meter-tall Molten Giant.
With every swing of his fists, countless house-sized molten boulders roared out, carrying the scorching heat that could incinerate all things, slamming fiercely into the precarious Holy Light Domain.
Each impact caused the golden barrier to tremble violently, with golden light fragments showering down like rain.
He could feel that the opponent's power was waning.
Echidna's attacks were even more insidious...
Countless shadowy tentacles, like venomous snakes, drilled out of the void, constantly eroding the boundaries of the Holy Light Domain, emitting a "sizzling" corrosive sound.
"Your light will soon be extinguished."
Her chilling voice echoed across the battlefield.
Apolosi gritted her silver teeth, and a trickle of golden blood once again spilled from the corner of her mouth.
She forcibly activated her holy power, repairing the cracks in the domain, her golden eyes filled with a mix of fury and exhaustion.
She knew that what they said was true.
Without a turning point, today...
Just then, a terrifying aura, distinctly different from the three but equally heart-stopping, rapidly approached from the distant horizon!
It was a cyan-golden streak of light, incredibly fast, like a sword beam tearing through space-time, directly shooting towards this chaotic legendary battlefield!
"Hm?"
Ignis was the first to sense it, his crimson pupils suddenly contracting as he turned towards the source of the streak of light.
"What is that?"
Echidna's movements also paused slightly, her gaze flickering beneath her cloak.
This aura... Golden-tier?
No, far exceeding Golden-tier, yet still different from their true legendary status.
Apolosi also noticed this sudden surge of powerful energy, and surprise and suspicion flashed in her weakened eyes.
The streak of light arrived in an instant!
"Boom—!"
The cyan-golden light exploded at the edge of the battlefield, revealing a tall figure.
The newcomer was clad in sword-attire, with a pair of massive platinum-gold light wings unfurled behind him.
Star-like light fragments flowed along the edges of the light wings, and each flap caused space to subtly vibrate.
He was surrounded by a sword pressure as condensed as substance, sharp and unparalleled, as if it could cleave all things.
As his eyes opened and closed, there were faint visions of stars being born and dying, and cyan-golden spiritual pressure, like flowing fire, entwined around him, radiating suffocating power.
It was Bai Xiao!
At this moment, with the dual blessings of the "Star Source Holy Core" and the Grand Void Azurewood Palace's "Spirit Source Convergence," coupled with his God Liberation state, he already possessed the terrifying combat power to transcend ranks and directly confront legends.
"Another one coming to die?"
Ignis, seeing Bai Xiao's appearance, was startled by his aura, but perceiving that the opponent was not a true legend, his violent nature intensified.
In his view, non-legends were all ants, to be casually wiped away.
He roared, and with a backhand punch, a thick pillar of molten fire blasted towards Bai Xiao, intending to instantly kill him on the spot.
Facing an attack that could instantly reduce any Golden-tier being to ashes...
Bai Xiao slowly raised his right hand, pointing his fingers like a sword.
"Om—"
Space seemed to solidify for an instant.
His platinum-gold light wings behind him vibrated fiercely, leaving an afterimage where he stood.
"God Liberation · Soul Cry Slash!"
The next moment, a cyan-golden crescent sword qi silently cut through the sky.
This sword qi, compared to the Soul Cry Slash he unleashed as a Golden-tier, was in a different league in terms of speed, power, and the "quality" it contained.
Above the sword qi, the pale white flames of the "Ashen Extinction Ring" quietly ignited, adding a touch of soul-level destructive aura.
"Sizzle—!"
The molten fire pillar and the cyan-golden sword qi fiercely collided!
In Ignis's astonished gaze, his molten fire pillar, capable of burning mountains and boiling seas, was actually split in two by that seemingly slender sword qi!
The sword qi's momentum remained undiminished, still slashing towards Ignis!
"What?!"
Ignis's face turned pale with shock; he could feel the terrifying cutting power contained within the sword qi, as well as a strange flame that made his soul ache.
Without time to think, Ignis roared.
He raised his massive right palm, covered in thick molten armor, his five fingers pressed together like a mountain.
He attempted to withstand this strange sword qi with his powerful physique and legendary-tier strength.
"Clang!"
A loud clang of metal on metal...
Ignis only felt a surge of irresistible force from his hand, and he was actually staggered back several steps by this sword strike.
The molten armor covering his palm shattered inch by inch, revealing scorched skin.
Above a deep, bone-visible sword mark, pale flames burned like maggots on bone, bringing intense pain.
"Ah—! Damn it! You bastard!"
Ignis shook his hand, trying to extinguish the strange flames.
But they clung to him like maggots on bone, and he could only dispel them by mobilizing his origin power.
He looked at Bai Xiao, his face grim.
He, the legendary tyrant of the Molten Heart, had been wounded by a single sword strike from some unknown fellow who had just appeared!
What a tremendous humiliation!
Echidna's gaze beneath her cloak also became serious. The power of this sword strike was already enough to pose a substantial threat to them.
This suddenly appearing man was definitely not an ordinary peak Golden-tier.
Apolosi looked at Bai Xiao with even greater shock.
She could feel three distinctly different powers intertwined within Bai Xiao.
These three powers combined in a way she had never seen before, forcefully elevating a Golden-tier to a level capable of directly confronting a legend.
Perhaps even stronger than Ignis and the others.
It was truly incredible.
"You are... from the Blue Star Alliance?" Apolosi asked somewhat weakly, with a hint of uncertainty.
Bai Xiao nodded slightly.
"By the command of Lord Su Jin, I have come to provide support."
He swept his gaze over Ignis and Echidna, his cold killing intent undisguised.
Su Jin, in the Infinite City camp, clearly witnessed this scene through the Grand Void Azurewood Palace's "Sky-Peering Vine."
He breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"It seems there shouldn't be any more problems..."
