328: Swords point towards the void, battle intent soars to the heavens.
The next instant, the great evolution immortal slaying sword and that ghostly claw fiercely collided within this desolate underwater ancient city!
Clang—!!!
A dull, extreme roar, as if it could shatter one's Divine Soul on the spot, exploded throughout the bottom of the Immortal Burial Sea!
Centered on the point of collision between sword and claw, a ripple of energy, woven from pure destructive resentment and Chaos Dao rhyme, spread wildly in all directions!
Wherever the ripple passed, the indestructible black crystalline buildings silently turned into dust, like sandcastles swept by a fierce wind!
The surrounding mountain range, piled high with countless giant beast skeletons, was instantly leveled by this terrifying energy shockwave!
"Pfft!"
Shen Yuanmo felt an irresistible, terrifying force madly transmitting along the sword body.
His powerful Physical Body, tempered by the ninth stage of the Vajra Glazed Body, actually let out a groan of unbearable strain under this attack!
The web of his right hand, which held the sword, instantly split open, and golden divine blood spilled out.
He himself was sent flying thousands of feet by this immense force, crashing heavily against the edge of the thousand-foot altar, causing spiderweb-like cracks to appear even on the sturdy altar!
"What powerful strength!"
Shen Yuanmo forcibly suppressed the surging Qi and blood within his body, stood up from the altar's rubble, his eyes shining with astonishing brightness.
Is this the true might of a Void Return expert?
It is indeed more formidable by more than one level than the dying Ancient Demon he encountered in the Demon Abyss Fissure before!
Although the power of that Ancient Demon had also reached Void Return, it was full of decay and decline, like a tree without roots, water without a source.
However, the power of this Void Returning Stage Vengeful Spirit before him, though filled with madness and Chaos, was vibrant and aggressive!
"Hehehe... you actually... blocked it?"
From within the churning black resentment Qi at the center of the altar, a Divine Thought fluctuation filled with surprise and bewilderment emanated.
It clearly hadn't expected that its killing blow, condensed with Void Return Law, would only cause the opponent slight injuries?
That was an attack from the Void Return realm!
Let alone a Great Perfection of Soul Transformation, even a Half-step Void Return Cultivator would be severely wounded by this attack!
Yet, this human before it actually withstood it!
"Your Physical Body... your battle armor... and your sword..."
The Void Returning Stage Vengeful Spirit's crimson eyes stared intently at Shen Yuanmo, and the greed within them became more intense than ever before!
"As long as I devour you! As long as I devour you! Everything will be mine!"
The Void Returning Stage Vengeful Spirit's Divine Thought became incredibly violent due to extreme greed!
It no longer probed; the mass of black resentment Qi covering an area of a thousand feet began to violently writhe and compress!
The surrounding grey-black seawater, thick as ink, seemed to respond to some irresistible summons, beginning to madly converge towards the center of the resentment Qi!
Within a few breaths, the massive mass of resentment Qi vanished.
In its place was a terrifying demon god, a hundred zhang tall, entirely condensed from the purest resentment and the Law of Death, clad in black battle armor made of countless wailing Souls, and wielding a black scythe twisted from fragments of the Law of Space-Time!
This was the true form of this Void Returning Stage Vengeful Spirit!
It had condensed all the power, all the resentment, and all the Laws it had devoured over these endless years into this form!
At this moment, although its aura was no longer as vast and boundless, its danger level had increased by more than tenfold compared to before!
"Finally willing to reveal your true form, eh?"
Shen Yuanmo wiped the golden blood from the corner of his mouth, looking at this new opponent. Not only did he show no fear, but his Battle Intent burned fiercely!
This was the battle he desired!
This was the whetstone sufficient to test his true current strength!
"Junior, to force me to manifest my true form, you can be proud!"
The hundred-zhang demon god looked down at Shen Yuanmo from above, its cold Divine Thought echoing in Shen Yuanmo's Sea of Consciousness like a final judgment.
"Now, let me show you what true... Void Return is!"
The instant its voice fell, the hundred-zhang demon god moved!
It made no superfluous movements, merely slowly raised the black scythe made of space-time fragments in its hand.
Then, it gently swung it towards Shen Yuanmo's direction!
Swoosh—!
There was no Saber Light, no Saber Qi.
This strike seemed to cut directly into the dimension of time!
Shen Yuanmo only felt his thoughts fall into eternal stagnation at this instant!
In the world before his eyes, all colors, all sounds, faded away at this moment, leaving only a monotonous black and white!
He could clearly see an invisible, intangible, yet utterly imbued with the will of termination and annihilation, black blade edge, slashing towards his Divine Soul at a speed that transcended space and time!
Before this terrifying strike, Shen Yuanmo's pupils suddenly constricted to pinprick size!
An unprecedented sense of mortal danger, originating from the deepest part of his Soul, instantly clutched his heart!
He knew that he absolutely could not take this strike head-on!
"Break for me...!"
In the blink of an eye between life and death, Shen Yuanmo let out a roar from the depths of his Divine Soul!
Within his Dantian and Qi Sea, the chaos myriad dao nascent soul, identical to his own face, suddenly opened its eyes!
Around the Nascent Soul, the silver halo representing the Grand Dao of Time and the grey halo representing the Grand Dao of Space suddenly erupted with unprecedented brilliant divine light!
Buzz—!
Centered on Shen Yuanmo's body, an extremely profound space-time Dao rhyme erupted!
The space-time within three feet of him, at this moment, seemed to transform into an infinitely distorted space-time!
The black blade edge, which should have been an unavoidable hit, had its trajectory forcibly shifted by a hair's breadth the moment it slashed into this distorted space-time!
It was this hair's breadth of deviation that gave Shen Yuanmo his only glimmer of hope for survival!
His figure flickered strangely in place, narrowly, but skillfully, dodging this strike!
Boom!
The black blade edge grazed his body and landed on the vast skeleton plain behind him.
There was no earth-shattering explosion.
The skeleton plain, which stretched for countless miles, simply vanished without a sound.
As if it had never existed.
Seeing this scene, even with Shen Yuanmo's Dao Heart, he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle and cold sweat pour down his back.
If he had been even a tiny bit slower just now, his fate would probably have been the same as that skeleton plain.
"Hmm?! You... you actually dodged it again?!"
The hundred-zhang demon god looked at the unharmed Shen Yuanmo, and for the first time, a trace of genuine shock appeared in its crimson eyes.
It couldn't understand!
Why?
Why could this human escape from its grasp again and again?
He was clearly just an ant who had barely reached Great Perfection of Soul Transformation by relying on external forces!
How could he possibly withstand its attack, which contained the Void Return Law?
"Brat! Who exactly are you?!"
The hundred-zhang demon god's Divine Thought became incoherent due to extreme shock and rage.
"The one who will kill you!"
Shen Yuanmo sneered, giving the opponent no time to think!
The moment he dodged the opponent's attack, his great evolution immortal slaying sword transformed.
It became a Chaos Sword Light, tearing through the darkness, and actively charged towards the hundred-zhang demon god!
He knew that passive defense was a dead end!
Only offense!
Only by meeting attack with attack, tearing open a fatal wound on the opponent's body, would he have a glimmer of hope for victory!
"Chaos Creation!"
Shen Yuanmo roared.
A Chaos Sword Light, a thousand zhang long, as if intending to split this entire underwater world in two.
Carrying the supreme might of creation, it fiercely slashed towards the hundred-zhang demon god's neck!
