Chapter 491 All Cards Revealed?! My Turn!

Sect Master Feng Tianyang stood on the arena.

He looked up at the blue-purple Domain in the sky that was frantically tearing at the edges of the Golden Wind Absolute Domain.

His hands had clenched into fists at some point, his knuckles popping loudly.

The foot-long wound at the base of the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc's left wing was still oozing golden blood.

Every drop of blood that fell onto the arena floor corroded a fine mark into the stone slabs.

His Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc, with its Ancient Heavenly Peng Bloodline and at the Purple Crystal Ninth Rank Peak, had actually still been suppressed after he revealed Heaven-Severing and activated the Golden Wind Absolute Domain.

It wasn't a stalemate; it was suppression.

The edges of the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc's Golden Wind Absolute Domain were being torn open inch by inch by the Wind-Thunder Calamity Domain.

Billions of golden wind blades collided frantically with the blue-purple lightning at the intersection of the two Domains. For every thunderbolt shattered, three new ones struck out from the depths of the Domain.

For every wave of wind blades torn apart, even more poured out from the Golden Wind Absolute Domain.

The rhythm of this war of attrition was tilting, bit by bit, toward Jiang Yun.

"How is this possible… This is absolutely impossible!" Sect Master Feng Tianyang's voice was extremely low, as if forced out through gritted teeth.

"My Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc is a full three Ranks higher than his! Purple Crystal Ninth Rank Peak against Amethyst Sixth Tier! Its total spiritual energy is at least double his! Heaven-Severing is a Legendary single-target kill move, and the Golden Wind Absolute Domain is a Legendary dual-Law Domain. Both Legendary skills have been used, so why am I still being suppressed?!"

He looked up abruptly, his gaze locking onto Little Skylark like a blade.

His gaze swept from the three purple feathers on top of Little Skylark's head, which were spinning with lightning vortexes, to the distinct cyan wind patterns and purple thunder patterns flowing on its wings, and finally to the ribbon-like tail feathers behind it that had turned into pure lightning.

His pupils contracted sharply. He noticed something.

It had been quite a while since Little Skylark activated its two Legendary skills. The Divine Roc True Form had been maintained for so long, and the Wind-Thunder Calamity Domain had been operating for so long, yet its Aura had not diminished; instead, it was even stronger than when it was first activated.

Its wings were still brilliant, its lightning still blinding, and its breathing was still as steady as if it were out for a stroll.

This was not normal behavior for an Amethyst Rank beast. Any Amethyst Rank beast that simultaneously activated two Legendary skills would suffer from spiritual energy exhaustion after maintaining them for at most the time it takes to burn a stick of incense.

Yet Little Skylark's state seemed to be telling him that this level of consumption was nothing to it.

"The Bloodline of this Divine Roc is problematic. To be able to suppress a Purple Crystal Ninth Rank Peak at the Amethyst Sixth Tier, and to maintain two Legendary skills for so long without its Aura dropping but instead rising… the only explanation is that its Bloodline is higher than the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc. Not just a little higher, but a full Bloodline Rank higher."

Sect Master Feng Tianyang's pupils contracted violently. The answer that was on the verge of emerging in his heart made his entire body tremble slightly.

"The Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc is an Ancient Heavenly Peng Bloodline, already a superior existence among Ancient Bloodlines. A Bloodline capable of suppressing it by a full Rank can only be the Primordial level."

Primordial Bloodline. His beast's Bloodline was the Ancient level, while Jiang Yun's Divine Roc was the Primordial level.

Ancient and Primordial—a difference of one character, but it represented an entire Bloodline era. In the face of a Primordial Bloodline, an Ancient Bloodline was merely a junior.

"No wonder he wasn't afraid. No wonder he was so composed from beginning to end. No wonder he dared to say he relied on himself to bully everyone in the Jingfeng Sect. What he was relying on wasn't courage; it was strength. It was the absolute crushing of an Ancient Bloodline by a Primordial Bloodline."

Sect Master Feng Tianyang gritted his teeth so hard they clicked. But he was, after all, the sixth-ranked on the Heavenly Ranking, the Sect Leader of the Jingfeng Sect, and a direct descendant of the Feng Family who had fought his way through countless life-and-death battles. That trace of shock and wavering only churned in his heart for a few breaths before he suppressed it fiercely with an even stronger Battle Intent.

"So what if it's a Primordial Bloodline? An Amethyst Sixth Tier is still an Amethyst Sixth Tier! This Sect Leader does not believe… you can keep this up forever!"

He raised his right hand abruptly and spread his five fingers; the golden beast-taming array in his palm exploded with a blinding light once again.

This time, the light was more dazzling than ever before. The spiritual energy contained within the array was no longer ordinary Golden Wind Law power, but a sign that the source Bloodline deep within the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc's chest was burning.

"Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc!!!" Sect Master Feng Tianyang's voice was as sharp as a blade. Every word was wrapped in an unquestionable determination.

"Heaven-Severing, charge up! Golden Peng Void-Rending Claw, block movement! Golden Feather Defense, stay at the very front! Golden Wind Absolute Domain, press forward with full force! Combine all skills and crush him!"

At this moment, he held nothing back. The single-target kill move was used to break defenses, the Domain to suppress, the epic-level skill to block movement, and the Transcendent-level defense to stay at the front and withstand counterattacks.

All skills were superimposed to form a multi-skill combo with Heaven-Severing at its core, and the lethality would reach a terrifying level in a short time. He wanted to crush Jiang Yun in one go; he wanted a quick victory.

Only a quick victory could provide a chance to turn the tide against the continuous consumption of the Primordial Bloodline.

The Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc felt its master's determination. It raised its head and emitted a shrill cry that tore through the clouds. The purest source of Golden Wind Law deep within its chest exploded violently.

The golden feathers on its chest erupted with light even more blinding than before. No, it wasn't just light; the light was faintly tinged with blood-red. That was proof that the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc was burning its source Bloodline.

Golden Feather Defense was the first to unfold. The dense golden feathers on the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc's chest rolled forward, forming a ring-shaped metal-attribute defensive barrier in front of it that was thicker and more brilliant than before.

Countless fine Law patterns flowed across the surface of the barrier. Each pattern was emitting sharp golden edges.

Immediately after, its two claws lit up with golden and cyan Law light simultaneously. Golden Peng Void-Rending Claw. Two cross-shaped golden-cyan claw radiances shot out from its claws with a boom.

They sealed off the two side-evasion angles Little Skylark was most accustomed to. These two claw radiances were not straight-line attacks, but rather flanked from the sides, forcing Little Skylark to either face it head-on or climb straight up.

And a head-on confrontation was exactly what Sect Master Feng Tianyang wanted.

At the same time, the range of the Golden Wind Absolute Domain surged. The billions of golden wind blades no longer covered the entire Domain evenly, but instead, under the will of the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc, tightened abruptly, turning into a high-density golden killing array, like a golden wall thick enough to crush everything, pressing fiercely toward the Wind-Thunder Calamity Domain.

Domain against Domain, Golden Wind dual-Laws against Wind-Thunder dual-Laws. Sect Master Feng Tianyang wanted to force Jiang Yun into a head-on war of attrition through Domain suppression.

Under the cover of these three simultaneous skills, Heaven-Severing was charging up. The Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc's right wing lit up again with that layer of Golden Wind Law source light, so dense it was almost tangible. The entire right wing, from root to tip, was rapidly transforming into a massive Law blade over ten zhang long.

But this time, the color of the giant blade was no longer pure gold. Deep within the gold, a burning dark red was faintly visible. That was the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc burning its source Bloodline, pushing the power of Heaven-Severing to its maximum limit. The power of this strike would far exceed the one that had been shattered head-on moments ago.

Four skills superimposed. Golden Feather Defense stayed at the front to absorb damage, Golden Peng Void-Rending Claw sealed off side evasion routes, Golden Wind Absolute Domain pressed the Domain head-on, and Heaven-Severing charged up for the final blow.

This combo almost exhausted all the Golden Wind Law source stored within the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc, and every breath it took was frantically burning its Bloodline power. But the cost was huge, and the power was equally terrifying.

The Aura erupting from the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc at this moment had firmly stepped onto the threshold of the Diamond Rank Mid-Tier, and was even faintly approaching the Diamond Rank High-Tier.

On the stands of the Colosseum, everyone felt that suddenly surging, terrifying pressure.

"It got stronger again!! Sect Master Feng Tianyang's Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc got stronger again!! It's still burning its Bloodline!! Its Aura has already broken through the Diamond Rank Mid-Tier!! How is this possible?!"

A student gripped the railing tightly with both hands, his face full of unbelievable shock.

"It's not just Heaven-Severing… look closely!! The Golden Wind Absolute Domain is compressing!! The range has shrunk, but the density of the wind blades has more than doubled!! Golden Peng Void-Rending Claw has sealed off side evasion routes, Golden Feather Defense is at the front, and Heaven-Severing is charging!! Sect Master Feng Tianyang has stacked all his skills together!! This is his strongest combo!!"

"To achieve this at the Purple Crystal Ninth Rank Peak… Sect Master Feng Tianyang is worthy of being a powerhouse who has firmly held the sixth spot on the Heavenly Ranking for years!! After being suppressed by the Sacred Student for two rounds, he actually still had tricks up his sleeve!! And this time it's stronger than before!! The Sacred Student's Divine Roc just blocked one round of Heaven-Severing, and now a fiercer one is coming!! Can it block it?!"

"This is looking grim!! Just now, the Sacred Student's Divine Roc used the Wind-Thunder Calamity Domain to consume the power of Heaven-Severing, and then used Ancient Wind-Thunder Wing Slash to shatter the attack. But this time, with Sect Master Feng Tianyang's four skills superimposed, Heaven-Severing is double-protected by the Golden Wind Absolute Domain and Golden Feather Defense. The Sacred Student's Wind-Thunder Calamity Domain must first tear through the Golden Wind Absolute Domain and Golden Feather Defense to reach Heaven-Severing. The time difference is enough for Heaven-Severing to finish charging and strike down directly!!"

"This is the foundation of the sixth-ranked on the Heavenly Ranking; skill configuration, combat experience, and tactical adaptability are all top-tier. When he was suppressed just now, everyone thought he was going to lose, but it turns out he still had a backup plan!! If this is all the Sacred Student has, this battle is likely coming to an end."

The entire Colosseum fell into a brief silence, stunned by the suddenly surging Aura of Sect Master Feng Tianyang. Those students who were previously cheering frantically for Jiang Yun now closed their mouths, and tension and uncertainty reappeared on their faces.

In the Longxiang Pavilion camp, the smile on Zhao Tiezhu's face froze. He stared fixedly at the blood-tinged Law light on the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc's chest, at the right wing that was rapidly turning into a giant Law blade, and at the Golden Wind Absolute Domain that was pressing toward the Wind-Thunder Calamity Domain. His clenched fists were trembling slightly.

"He… still has a backup plan?! Is this guy a cockroach?! I stepped on him again and again; every time I thought he was done for, he crawled back up and became even fiercer?! Is this fucking reasonable?!"

"It's not a question of whether it's reasonable or not." Xiao Chen's voice was low and heavy. The fine layer of cold sweat on his forehead grew denser.

"Sect Master Feng Tianyang is fighting for his life. Didn't you see?! The Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc's source Bloodline is burning. Once the skill Heaven-Severing is fully charged, its power is invincible within the same Rank. Last time, the Pavilion Master used two Legendary skills superimposed to barely shatter it. This time, Sect Master Feng Tianyang's four skills are all pressed in front of Heaven-Severing. The Pavilion Master's Wind-Thunder Calamity Domain must first break through three lines of defense to touch Heaven-Severing. This means the Pavilion Master's speed advantage has been negated, and he can only face it head-on."

"Then… can the Pavilion Master handle it?!" For the first time, Shang Xiaoxiao's voice carried an undisguised trace of nervousness. Her almond-shaped eyes were fixed tightly on the blue-purple figure in the sky, her eyes slightly red.

"The Pavilion Master never disappoints… but this time, the opponent has thrown all their cards on the table. Does the Pavilion Master still have any cards left?!"

Lei Qing did not speak. For the first time, a look of heavy silence appeared on his rugged face. He believed in the Pavilion Master; he never doubted that the Pavilion Master could win. But belief was one thing, and the opponent's sudden eruption of combat power, which far exceeded expectations, made even his thick nerves tense up a bit.

Liu Qingshuang looked up, her gaze fixed on the still-upright figure in the sky. She didn't speak, but her fingernails were deeply embedded in her palms within her clenched fists.

The Pavilion Master had said he wouldn't let a single one go. She believed the Pavilion Master would keep his word. But belief did not mean she wasn't nervous.

On the high platform, all the Deans changed expressions at the same time.

"Sect Master Feng Tianyang is going to risk his life." Vice Dean Yan Lie's voice carried a hint of caution.

"Superimposing four skills, burning Bloodline… this fighting style can indeed erupt with combat power far exceeding his Rank in a short time, but the consumption is equally terrifying. If Heaven-Severing misses or is blocked after fully charging, the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc's source Bloodline will enter a long period of exhaustion. By then, Sect Master Feng Tianyang will have no means left to turn the tide."

"He was forced into this." Zhan Qiong rested his hands on the railing, his gaze as sharp as a blade.

"The Sacred Student has been suppressing him from the start of the battle. Heaven-Severing was shattered head-on, the Golden Wind Absolute Domain was torn at the edges, and the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc's left wing was torn. Sect Master Feng Tianyang knows very well that the longer it drags on, the more passive he becomes, so he must throw all his cards on the table before his Bloodline is consumed to the critical point, and seek a quick victory. This choice is correct, but it is too risky."

"And have you noticed?" Tie Kuang spoke in a muffled voice, his tone thoughtful.

"From the moment the Sacred Student's Divine Roc activated the two Legendary skills until now, its Aura not only hasn't diminished but has become stronger. What does this indicate? It indicates that this Divine Roc's Bloodline Rank is higher than the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc's. If it were the same-level Bloodline, an Amethyst Sixth Tier would have been exhausted long ago after holding on for so long against a Purple Crystal Ninth Rank Peak. Since it didn't drop but instead rose, the only explanation is… Primordial Bloodline."

"Primordial Bloodline." Dean of Array Department Xuan Jizi slowly repeated these four words, his voice full of emotion.

"Since the founding of Sky Dome Academy, beasts with a Primordial Bloodline can be counted on one hand. No wonder Dean Ming Jing was certain from the beginning that the Sacred Student would win. It seems he saw long ago that the Sacred Student's beast's Bloodline was not simple. The suppression of an Ancient Bloodline by a Primordial Bloodline is engraved in the bones; this gap cannot be smoothed over by three Ranks."

"That may be so, but the current situation is still unfavorable for the Sacred Student." Vice Dean Yan Lie frowned, his tone cautious.

"Sect Master Feng Tianyang's four skills are superimposed, and his Peak combat power has broken through the Diamond Rank Mid-Tier. Even with the Primordial Bloodline's blessing, if the Sacred Student has already used up most of his cards, trying to deal with this all-out strike from Sect Master Feng Tianyang now… is indeed quite tricky."

"That may not be the case."

"Take a look at this Little Fellow's state right now." Dean Ming Jing, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke. His voice was still calm, but it carried a trace of imperceptible satisfaction.

The Deans all looked toward Jiang Yun's face on the arena at the same time. The expression on that face was still calm as water. Even the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. As if he were smiling.

"He's smiling?!" Vice Dean Yan Lie frowned in disbelief. "Facing Sect Master Feng Tianyang's all-out strike with four skills superimposed, he's smiling?! Is this Little Fellow crazy, or does he have absolute certainty?!"

Dean Ming Jing did not answer. But the faint curve at the corner of his mouth lifted a little higher.

On the arena, Jiang Yun was smiling. He stood on Little Skylark's back, hands behind his back.

Before him was the full combat power of the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc, unleashed by burning its Bloodline.

The blinding golden light of the Golden Feather Defense dazzled the eyes, the cross-shaped claw radiance of the Golden Peng Void-Rending Claw sealed off all flanking maneuvers, the Golden Wind Absolute Domain crushed forward like a massive golden wall, and the Heaven-Severing Law Blade, currently charging, emitted a terrifying sharpness capable of severing space itself.

The combined power of these skills had already reached the Diamond Rank mid-tier, even faintly approaching the high-tier, enough to make any Amethyst Rank opponent present feel despair.

But Jiang Yun only glanced at it once before looking away.

Because before the battle began, he had already seen the entry information for the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc.

This was the full extent of the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc's trump cards.

Heaven-Severing, Golden Wind Absolute Domain, Golden Peng Void-Rending Claw, and Golden Feather Defense.

With the four skills stacked together, the power was indeed terrifying.

But he had seen it in the entry information and verified it in the battle just now.

Although the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc's skills were sharp, each skill required an independent expenditure.

Especially Heaven-Severing; each time it was unleashed, it consumed a massive amount of the power accumulated within the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc's body.

Sect Master Feng Tianyang releasing all skills stacked together simultaneously might look like maximizing power on the surface, but in reality, it was a desperate gamble.

This fighting style consumed so much that the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc's Origin Bloodline simply could not withstand it.

The smile at the corner of his mouth was not one of contempt.

It was the composure of someone who had discerned all of their opponent's trump cards.

Sect Master Feng Tianyang thought he was fighting a quick battle to force a quick decision.

But Jiang Yun knew his limits better than he did himself.

He could even win by dragging it out.

With his superiority in speed and the continuous consumption from the Wind-Thunder Calamity Domain, the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc's Origin Bloodline would eventually be worn down to its critical point.

As long as he continued to keep his distance and continue the consumption, victory in this battle was only a matter of time.

But he did not intend to drag it out.

He wanted to defeat this sixth-ranked expert on the Heaven Ranking head-on, with the most direct method and absolute strength.

He wanted the whole school to see.

Lin Xinmu being insta-killed, Lin Feng being forced back, and Feng Ziyue being terrified into paralysis—none of these were accidents.

He wanted everyone present to remember this moment, to remember how he knocked the sixth-ranked expert on the Heaven Ranking off the arena stage.

Only in this way would no one dare to provoke Longxiang Pavilion again, and no one would dare to harm those around him again.

He looked at the sky-covering golden killing formation of the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc before him, felt that sharp pressure capable of crushing any Amethyst Rank opponent, and then he spoke.

His voice was not loud, yet it precisely pierced through all the wind and buzzing sounds, clearly transmitting into the eardrums of everyone present.

"Sect Leader Feng, is this the extent of your full strength?"

Jiang Yun's tone was calm and composed.

As if he were asking about some trivial matter.

"Four skills stacked together, Bloodline burning. It is indeed much stronger than before."

He paused slightly, and the smile at the corner of his mouth slowly faded.

Replacing it was a sense of indifference and certainty that had discerned the outcome of the battle.

"However, if this is your limit, then this battle should come to an end."

The moment his words fell.

Jiang Yun's voice suddenly rose.

"Little Skylark! Nirvana Thunder Prison! Seal its movement!"

Little Skylark flapped its wings violently, and the thunderous vortexes on the three purple feathers atop its head exploded simultaneously.

Directly above the Golden Wind Absolute Domain, a small thunder prison woven from ten thousand purple lightning bolts descended from the sky, precisely smashing down onto the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc.

After the Nirvana Thunder Prison landed, ten thousand lightning bolts fell together.

Every target trapped within the range of the thunder prison would continuously suffer from lightning bombardment.

Movement speed and attack speed would decay layer by layer.

Up to fifty percent!

The Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc's charging action suddenly stalled under the suppression of the Nirvana Thunder Prison.

The golden Law patterns frantically flowing on the surface of its right wing, which was transforming into the Heaven-Severing Law Blade, began to show disorder under the continuous bombardment of ten thousand lightning bolts.

The charging progress of Heaven-Severing was interrupted for an instant.

"Wind-Thunder Heavenly Feather! Tear through its defense!"

Little Skylark raised its head and let out a clear, melodious cry, and the billions of divine feathers interwoven with azure and violet on its wings exploded at the same moment.

Countless divine feathers, wrapped in the power of wind and thunder, transformed into a sky full of azure-violet flying feathers, shooting frantically toward the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc like a torrential rain.

The power of a single flying feather was not top-tier, but the coverage area of the quantity of flying feathers was extremely vast.

The sky full of flying feathers smashed onto the defensive barrier of the Golden Feather Defense like a locust swarm, covering the sky and earth, the dense sounds of impact merging into one. The golden barrier of the Golden Feather Defense flickered frantically under the continuous stacked attacks of countless flying feathers, and cracks began to appear in the Law patterns on the surface of the barrier.

After the Wind-Thunder Heavenly Feather hit the target, it could attach to the target's body surface to continuously release lightning erosion and wind blade cutting.

Multiple hits would double the effect.

And now.

The flying feathers attached to the barrier of the Golden Feather Defense had already stacked up to ten layers!

"Ancient Wind-Thunder Wing Slash! Break!"

Taking advantage of the instant when the defense of the Golden Feather Defense was torn open by the Wind-Thunder Heavenly Feather.

Little Skylark crossed its wings, and the Ancient Wind-Thunder power that had been accumulated for a long time on the wing surfaces erupted simultaneously.

Two stacked azure-violet blade lights contained that trace of thin Ancient space-tearing power.

It slashed straight forward with a speed so fast it was almost impossible to dodge.

The blade light precisely struck the densest crack on the barrier of the Golden Feather Defense.

Boom!!!

The Transcendent Rank defensive barrier of the Golden Feather Defense shattered instantly under the Ancient Wind-Thunder Wing Slash's effect of ignoring fifty percent of the defense.

The sky full of golden fragments exploded in the air.

The circular defensive barrier that had always been held in front of the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc completely collapsed.

And just at this moment.

The two Golden Peng Void-Rending Claws under the command of Sect Master Feng Tianyang flanked from the sides.

The two cross-intersecting golden-azure claw radiances sealed off the angles for Little Skylark to change direction on its left and right flanks.

Jiang Yun did not even raise an eyelid.

"Divine Roc True Form! Bloodline suppression."

Little Skylark suddenly spread its wings, and the Bloodline pressure of the Ancient Wind-Thunder Divine Peng on its wing surfaces crushed forward like an invisible tsunami.

The two Golden Peng Void-Rending Claws flanking from the sides stalled violently under the Bloodline impact of the Ancient Divine Roc.

The Ancient Heavenly Peng will contained within the claw radiance trembled violently before the Ancient Divine Roc's will.

That was the most instinctive fear when a low-Rank Bloodline faced a high-Rank Bloodline.

The flight trajectory of the Golden Peng Void-Rending Claw appeared to have a visible deviation under the Bloodline suppression.

It flew past the tip of Little Skylark's wing, without even touching a single feather.

And at this very moment, the charging of the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc's Heaven-Severing was finally completed.

Its right wing, which had long since transformed into the Heaven-Severing Law Blade, was raised violently.

The sharp Aura tore countless fine cracks into the surrounding space.

Then, carrying the savage will of the Ancient Heavenly Peng.

It slashed down fiercely toward Little Skylark with an unstoppable momentum.

The power of this slash was even more terrifying than the previous one.

The trace of dark red visible in the golden slash radiance was the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc's burning Origin Bloodline.

It added a layer of scorching destructive Aura to the slash, beyond its sharpness.

Wherever the Law Blade passed, space was forcibly cut open into a pitch-black crack.

Facing this world-destroying slash.

Jiang Yun's expression remained calm.

"Little Skylark! Wind-Thunder Calamity Domain! Bloom with full power!"

Little Skylark's wings were fully extended to their limit at that moment.

Every divine feather on its massive body, with a wingspan of thirty zhang, was burning frantically.

Azure like the wind of the firmament, violet like the lightning of the Heavenly Tribulation, two types of light erupted simultaneously on its wings, transforming the entire Divine Roc into an azure-violet sun.

With it as the core, the range of the Wind-Thunder Calamity Domain expanded violently at that moment.

Billions of wind blades were no longer evenly distributed, but under Jiang Yun's will, they converged violently, weaving into an azure-violet wind-thunder barrier in front of Little Skylark that was thick enough to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation.

The thickness of that barrier was exactly three times what it had been before.

With the fierce wind as the bone and lightning as the flesh, where the wind and thunder intertwined, even light was twisted into eerie arcs.

At the same time, the Golden Wind Absolute Domain where the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc was located was being frantically suppressed by the Nirvana Thunder Prison.

The movement speed of the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc trapped in the Nirvana Thunder Prison was continuously decaying.

Thirty percent, forty percent, fifty percent.

Under the chain reaction of speed decay, the operating speed of its Golden Wind Absolute Domain also plummeted simultaneously; the edges of the billions of golden wind blades began to blur, and that once impenetrable golden killing formation was collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc's Golden Wind Absolute Domain was being crushed in reverse by the Wind-Thunder Calamity Domain.

And that Heaven-Severing slash was also being weakened layer by layer amidst the frantic consumption of countless wind blades and lightning bolts.

From Diamond Rank mid-tier, it dropped to Diamond Rank low-tier.

From Diamond Rank low-tier, it dropped to Purple Crystal Ninth Rank Peak.

When that Law Blade finally slashed to the front of the core barrier of the Wind-Thunder Calamity Domain.

Its power had already been weakened to less than forty percent of its original.

But Sect Master Feng Tianyang was betting on this moment.

Although Heaven-Severing was weakened, it was still a Legendary Rank single-target ultimate kill.

He believed that the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc's full-power strike could tear through Little Skylark's final line of defense.

Heaven-Severing slashed onto the wind-thunder barrier.

Boom!!!!

A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering loud noise exploded, and the entire Colosseum trembled violently under the impact of this strike.

The protective formation patterns on the arena stage shattered layer after layer, and the violent energy aftershocks surged frantically toward the surroundings like a tsunami, causing the spiritual light on the dome of the Colosseum to flicker wildly.

The golden slash radiance and the azure-violet barrier gnawed at each other at the center of the collision.

Billions of lightning bolts and golden wind blades splashed frantically around the point of impact.

Tearing the surrounding air into a chaotic turbulence of energy.

Then.

The barrier stabilized.

The golden slash radiance of Heaven-Severing crumbled inch by inch before the barrier condensed at the maximum power of the Wind-Thunder Calamity Domain.

That once arrogant Law Blade started from the tip of the blade.

It shattered piece by piece into a sky full of golden light spots.

The strongest strike slashed out by the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc burning its Origin Bloodline.

Was forcibly blocked head-on.

And at the very same instant that Heaven-Severing shattered, Little Skylark's counterattack arrived.

"Wind-Thunder Calamity Domain! Close the net!"

Jiang Yun's voice was as calm as if he were just saying the weather was nice today.

But the reaction of the Wind-Thunder Calamity Domain was like the arrival of the apocalypse.

The entire Domain suddenly shifted from expanding outward to contracting inward at that moment.

Billions of wind blades and lightning bolts were no longer spreading outward.

Instead, under Jiang Yun's will, they converged frantically from all directions simultaneously toward the direction of the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc.

From the edge of the Domain to the core of the Domain, from all directions to a single point.

All the wind blades, all the lightning bolts, and all the wind-thunder power were compressed to the extreme at the same moment.

The Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc could not dodge in time.

Its Nirvana Thunder Prison was still pressing down on it, and its movement speed had been decayed by fifty percent.

Its Golden Feather Defense had already shattered under the Ancient Wind-Thunder Wing Slash.

Its Golden Peng Void-Rending Claw had missed.

Its Heaven-Severing had just been shattered head-on, and its right wing was still in a stiff state from the Law backlash.

At this moment, the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc had no defensive skills on its body and no means of evasion.

It could only endure it head-on.

Billions of wind blades and lightning bolts bombarded the Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc simultaneously.

The azure wind blades tore countless fine cracks into its golden feathers.

The violet lightning drilled into its body along those cracks, raging frantically within its muscles, bones, and Meridians.

The Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc let out a wail that was extreme in its misery.

Its golden feathers were torn to shreds in large patches under the net-closing strike of the Wind-Thunder Calamity Domain, and golden fragments mixed with golden Origin Blood of the Law poured down from mid-air, like a golden rainstorm.

When the net-closing strike of the Wind-Thunder Calamity Domain finally ended.

The Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc was no longer that majestic sixth-ranked beast on the Heaven Ranking from before.

A huge crack over a zhang long had been torn into its left wing from the wing root to the wing tip, and its golden bones were faintly visible.

Its right wing was still in a stiff state from the Law backlash, and the entire wing was twitching violently.

The densest and most dazzling patch of golden feathers on its chest had all been torn to shreds.

The exposed skin was covered with charred marks from lightning burns.

Its Aura plummeted all the way from Diamond Rank mid-tier, down through Purple Crystal Ninth Rank Peak, Purple Crystal Eighth Rank, to Purple Crystal Seventh Rank.

It fell all the way to the edge of barely being able to maintain the Purple Crystal Rank.

It no longer even had the strength to hover in the air.

Its massive golden body smashed onto the arena stage like a meteorite, causing the entire stage to shake violently.

It struggled, wanting to stand up again, but the injury to its left wing was too severe, its right wing was still twitching, and its legs were trembling violently.

It could not stand up.

One strike. From the Nirvana Thunder Prison starting to seal off movement, to Wind-Thunder Heavenly Feather tearing the defense, to Ancient Wind-Thunder Wing Slash breaking the shield, to Divine Roc Bloodline suppression disabling the Golden Peng Void-Rending Claw, to the Wind-Thunder Calamity Domain at maximum power blocking Heaven-Severing, and then to the Wind-Thunder Calamity Domain's net-closing strike.

Six skills connected, flowing like clouds and water, completed in one go.

From beginning to end, Sect Master Feng Tianyang's Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc had no power to fight back before this combo.

The entire Colosseum fell into a state of complete, absolute deathly silence, where even the sound of breathing disappeared.

Thousands of people seemed to have their throats gripped simultaneously.

No one spoke.

No one dared to speak.

Because they had just witnessed it with their own eyes.

The sixth-ranked expert on the Heaven Ranking, Sect Leader of the Jingfeng Sect, with a Purple Crystal Ninth Rank Peak Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc, had been crushed from start to finish by a Purple Crystal Sixth Rank freshman, despite having exhausted all trump cards, burned its Bloodline, and stacked four skills.

It was not luck, not a sneak attack, and not a loophole in the rules.

It was a pure, head-on, and indisputable crushing.

On the arena stage, Jiang Yun still stood with his hands behind his back, standing on Little Skylark's back.

His expression was still that damn calm, his robes were blown flapping by the aftershocks, but his figure did not move at all.

He looked down at the arena stage, watching that Heaven-Splitting Golden Roc struggling in a pool of blood but unable to stand up, and then slowly raised his gaze, landing on Sect Master Feng Tianyang.

Sect Master Feng Tianyang stood there blankly.

His right arm was still maintaining the posture of a slash, his five fingers spread open, and the golden Law light at his fingertips had completely extinguished.

There was no anger, no unwillingness, and no shock on his face.

It was the bewilderment that only appears after being completely crushed.

His lips moved several times, wanting to say something, but he could not say a single word.

Jiang Yun looked at him.
