518: A battle beyond the limits of a quasi-saint

The moment Xiao Zhuo's voice fell, the golden light area, which had been compressed by darkness to only a hundred zhang, suddenly erupted with an unprecedented blaze of light!

"Zizai Realm, open!"

A low shout rang out.

Rumble—!

It didn't originate from Xiao Zhuo himself, but rather seemed like a resonance from an boundless world within his body!

Centered on Xiao Zhuo, a blurry and vast world phantom suddenly expanded. Wherever it passed, the boundless darkness evolved by Hao Duo with the Great Dao of Darkness, melted and dissipated instantly like snow meeting spring sunshine!

Within this world phantom, the sun, moon, and stars rotated, mountains and rivers rose and fell, and countless phantoms of living beings prayed and chanted, emitting a unique Dao rhyme that was independent of all Major Thousand Worlds, free and self-centered!

"The world within your body has actually reached the limit of the Middle Thousand? You've actually reached this step?!" Hao Duo's expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with shock. He naturally knew that Xiao Zhuo possessed a world, but how long had it been for him to expand the world within his body to such an extent?

Cultivating the world within one's body to be comparable to or even surpass a Great Thousand World is the prerequisite for proving the Dao with strength!

This requires an terrifying amount of resources to accumulate. He never expected that Xiao Zhuo was only one step away from transforming his inner world into a Great Thousand World, nearly on par with him!

"No! You couldn't be this fast! Could it be... you refined the Origin of a Great Thousand World?!" Hao Duo instantly sensed that power, which was of the same Origin but even more magnificent, and his heart was greatly shaken.

"Revered Master has sharp eyes." Xiao Zhuo stood in the center of the Zizai Realm phantom, like a god who opened up the heavens and earth. His aura merged with the entire Zizai Realm, rising steadily, instantly breaking through a certain limit and reaching a level that made even Hao Duo feel a sense of dread!

"No wonder you dared to contend with your Revered Master... so you had this reliance!" Hao Duo's eyes were as dark as water, no longer showing any trace of disdain, replaced by an intense killing intent, "But even so, you will die today! Black Heaven Realm, empower my body!"

He formed hand seals, and a terrifying world pressure also erupted from within him, but the world within his body did not project out!

Instead, his body instantly swelled, transforming into a dark Demonic God whose feet trod the starry sky and head reached the heavens. Demonic flames and Chaos Qi intertwined around him, and the auras of destruction, devouring, and darkness permeated the air, causing the entire divine temple space to wail and crack!

"Break for this venerable one!"

Hao Duo, in his Demonic God state, threw a punch that was simple and direct, yet contained the supreme power to shatter wan fa (myriad laws) and reforge earth, water, fire, and wind!

Wherever the punch passed, the stars in the divine temple extinguished and exploded in large swathes, and the jade main road shattered inch by inch!

This punch was infinitely close to an attack from a Saint!

"Good timing!" Xiao Zhuo's eyes burned with Battle Intent. Instead of retreating, he advanced, driving the massive Zizai Realm phantom, and met the punch with his own!

On his fist, countless Spirit Script instantly combined and superimposed, forming tens of thousands of Spirit Group. The Great Dao of Time and Space was pushed to its limit, twisting time, folding space, and even drawing upon the Origin power of the Zizai Realm!

The moment their fists collided—

There was no sound, no light.

It was as if all concepts had been erased.

The next moment, an indescribable storm of destruction was born from the center of the collision, like the Big Bang at the beginning of the Universe, instantly sweeping across the entire divine temple space!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The divine temple space, personally arranged by the Primordial Great Saint and containing Saint Dao Law, finally could not withstand the impact of these two forces that surpassed the limit of Quasi-Saints, and it disintegrated with a crash, like shattered glazed glass!

Boom—!!!

Outside, the Forbidden Sea Abyss, and even the entire boundless Forbidden Sea, witnessed an incredibly terrifying scene.

The sea level suddenly bulged upwards into a giant hemisphere covering hundreds of millions of li, and then, this "hemisphere" made of endless seawater was completely evaporated by an invisible force within one ten-thousandth of a second!

It wasn't pushed aside; it was complete annihilation!

Hundreds of millions of tons of seawater, along with countless sea Yao Race, Yao Beast, and even the indestructible geological strata at the bottom of the sea, all transformed into the most basic particles and dissipated into nothingness!

An unimaginably huge "hole" appeared on the land of the Nirvana Realm, bottomless, directly exposing the churning, surging Chaos light mass below, which exuded the aura of the world's Origin—the Nirvana Realm Origin was completely exposed!

And what caused all this were the two figures who rushed out of the collapsed divine temple!

Xiao Zhuo and Hao Duo were already fighting to a frenzy!

The two of them emerged from the Shattered Realm turbulent flows of the Void Realm, and each collision erupted with roars that tore through the sky and shook the Universe!

Hao Duo transformed into a dark Demonic God, and with every move, he drew upon the Origin of the Black Heaven Realm within him for empowerment. His demonic palm covered the sky, and each downward strike carried the weight of a world overturning. The Great Dao of Devouring evolved into a vortex of return to nothingness that devoured everything, intending to bury Xiao Zhuo along with his Zizai Realm!

Xiao Zhuo's Zizai Realm phantom floated around him, immune to wan fa (myriad laws). He wielded the Great Dao of Time and Space and Spirit Group Divine Ability with consummate skill.

At times, he reversed time, sending Hao Duo's Divine Ability back to its nascent state.

At times, he folded space, causing Hao Duo's destructive attacks to land in empty air.

At other times, he used Spirit Group to evolve all Major Thousand Worlds' wan fa (myriad laws): the rotation of the Five Elements, the Chaos of Yin and Yang, the opening of Chaos... various incredible Great Divine Ability were at his fingertips, and he fought Hao Duo to a standstill!

Their battlefield was moving, from above the exposed Origin to beyond the sky. Wherever they passed, space collapsed in swathes, Law wailed, and the Great Dao fractured, as if the end of the world had arrived!

Such an earth-shattering commotion instantly alarmed all the Immortal-Demon Realm Quasi-Saints within the Nirvana Realm!

Powerful Divine Sense swept across the endless distance. When they perceived the exposed world Origin and the two terrifyingly powerful individuals whose auras made their Soul tremble, all the Quasi-Saints were first ecstatic, then filled with boundless fear!

"It's the Origin! The Origin of the Nirvana Realm!"

"Heavens! Who are those two? Black Heaven Demonic Venerable Hao Duo? And who is fighting him? How can their power... be so strong?!"

"Retreat quickly! Don't get caught in the aftermath of their battle!"

Some Quasi-Saints who couldn't suppress their greed and tried to approach the Origin or the battlefield immediately paid a heavy price.

A Quasi-Saint in the Middle Stage from the Yao Race had just torn space and appeared a million li away from the edge of the battlefield when a stray Chaos Sword Qi swept past. He didn't even have time to scream; his immortal body and Divine Soul were instantly annihilated! His main body, Cultivating in an Immortal Cave in the Immortal-Demon Realm, "pffft" out a mouthful of fresh blood, and his aura plummeted!

Another Demonic Path Quasi-Saint in the Late Stage, who had summoned his Natal Demonic Banner to try and collect the Origin while the two were fighting, was swept by the aftermath of one of Hao Duo's punches. His Demonic Banner instantly turned to dust, and he himself was annihilated three times in a row before barely managing to reassemble his immortal body. His Dao fruit was severely damaged, and he was so scared that his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, fleeing for his life without looking back!

This was simply not a battlefield they could covet! Merely observing it carried the risk of death and the dissipation of one's Dao!

Tens of thousands of li away from the battlefield.

Hao Tian Emperor's face was extremely grim. With the haotian bell above his head and the creation divine sword in his hand, he looked at the two fighting to tear the heavens and earth apart in the distance, his eyes filled with apprehension and unwillingness.

He had already learned from other Emperor that Wang Xuan had appeared and obtained a saint position light orb. Associating this with the sudden appearance of the mysterious powerful individual, he immediately understood that Wang Xuan was this mysterious person, and that this person had already obtained two saint position light orbs.
