667: Shen Bei VS Nine-Life Crow (3)

Buzz!

In an instant, amidst the sky-shattering roar, the Nine Lives Raven's body suddenly erupted with a vast aura that caused the earth's surface and sky to change color, as if his entire being had begun to burn!

Indigo azure water light surged in the Void Realm, and the Nine Lives Raven seemed to have fully recovered from his injuries. His entire body emitted the sound of blood surging like rivers, and as his aura exploded, terrifying waves and an endless, violent tsunami appeared in the Void Realm. As he pushed his palms forward, the vast, profound, and extremely resilient indigo azure True Qi crashed like a Category 10 tsunami into the punch shadow Shen Bei sent from a distance.

Azure Sea, Abyss Stance!

Boom—!

In an instant, two vastly different but incredibly powerful forces collided in mid-air. A colossal roar echoed across the vast, desolate earth's surface, and the heavens and earth's surface fell silent! Visible rolling Qi waves, like thousands of roaring beasts, swept through, and several kilometers of the Void Realm boiled madly like hot water, causing even tens of square kilometers of the earth's surface to rumble and tremble incessantly!

And in this scene, which could be described as world-shattering, it could be seen that above the Void Realm, in front of the Nine Lives Raven, a mighty Protective Aura of the Azure Sea surged forth, layer upon layer, presenting wave after wave of oscillations. Amidst the undulations, successive chain reactions occurred, and in the blink of an eye, the unparalleled power unleashed by Shen Bei was resolved and dissipated.

Azure Sea: Abyss Stance, unlike the offensive Surging Heavens, this is a 絕招 that uses the cyclical undulations of the deep sea abyss to redirect force, dissolving and reflecting all power.

It could be said to be a quite overbearing Move!

And unlike the previous Surging Heavens, which crumbled upon contact with Shen Bei, under the Nine Lives Raven's instantaneous, burning counterattack, not only did Shen Bei's distant magnetic field shockwave vanish into thin air, but his indestructible body also seemed to be struck by thousands of heavy impacts at that moment, bringing his unstoppable momentum to an abrupt halt.

Hmm?

Indigo azure turbulent currents overflowed. Shen Bei narrowed his eyes, clearly sensing the Nine Lives Raven's aura surging and burning, as if he had ignited himself. He immediately recognized what it was:

"Burning True Essence? Or burning Lifespan?"

Previously, Shen Bei had encountered assassins in the Imperial Capital who also used Moves with a similar sense of déjà vu.

Shen Bei already knew that this method of burning life or extracting Soul power could not only be used to strengthen oneself and heal injuries, but also possessed a hidden ability.

That is, it could burn Soul power to achieve a massive burst of strength, while also maintaining a powerful state of super-fast self-healing at all times.

And now, in Shen Bei's perception, the burning aura on the Nine Lives Raven was identical to that of the assassins who had attacked him in the past, clearly indicating that he had also Cultivated a similar ability.

Moreover, it must be said that, after all, he was once the recognized strongest Martial Artist on the entire earth's surface. With this complete outburst from the Nine Lives Raven, Shen Bei immediately felt his opponent's strength surge, greatly narrowing the gap in power between them.

"You unknown fellow, you truly exceeded my expectations…"

"Unfortunately, that won't happen again!"

At this moment, amidst the vast, ocean-like water light, the Nine Lives Raven's aura was immense, like a burning king of the deep sea. His eyes, which had been filled with extreme shock and disbelief, completely transformed into determination.

Before this, he had indeed not expected that a random provocateur would possess such terrifying strength.

Nor had he anticipated that he, who had already broken through to the seventh layer of the Azure Sea, would not be a match for this stranger with his own strength alone.

This made the Nine Lives Raven feel that his opponent had come prepared, and was specifically targeting him!

Who could it be?

He couldn't guess.

Then he could only defeat him and then interrogate him!

By now, the Nine Lives Raven had no retreat; he had to reveal his last trump card.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!

In such an intense battle, no one spoke. The Nine Lives Raven stepped through the Void Realm, extending his five fingers to grasp. The extremely deep indigo blue water light expanded dramatically, instantly spreading to several thousand meters in radius. Even the fragmented Azure Sea, which had been split in two by Shen Bei earlier, was pulled, surging skyward once more. For a time, the entire sky was like an overturned sea, with shimmering water reflecting the sky, resembling the Universe's starry sky, forming a magnificent and grand scene where sea and sky merged, and heaven and earth's surface shone together.

Changing the Heavens and earth's surface!

As the Nine Lives Raven unleashed all his power without reservation, in an instant, myriad phenomena surged forth: fierce winds and torrential rains, raging waves, flash floods, countless weather events appearing simultaneously, like a world-ending deluge about to cleanse the world, sweeping in, overwhelming the sky, and engulfing Shen Bei!

Whale Swallowing Stance, Surging Heavens, Abyss Stance, Wave Rolling Stance, Roaring Stance… In an instant, the sky could no longer bear it, twisting and wailing. Shen Bei immediately felt layer upon layer, endlessly surging, almost infinite tidal power descend upon him, continuously squeezing and eroding, twisting and reversing, as if plunging him into a bottomless deep sea abyss.

At this moment, in addition to burning his spiritual energy to increase his strength by several folds, the Nine Lives Raven's every Move also displayed the ultimate variations of various True Qi properties—yin, yang, hard, soft, light, dark, empty, solid, entangled, discharged, shifted, moved, and so on. Any enemy caught within it would have their power dispersed and dissolved, their body shattered. Even a steel mountain, if it fell into his Azure Sea, which combined the five great stances, would be eroded into iron filings in a short time by the endless raging waves and undercurrents of Protective Aura!

Water dripping through stone, possessing the power of ultimate softness. Clearly, the Nine Lives Raven had realized that Shen Bei's power was unfathomable and irresistible; only by exerting all his might and utilizing all his knowledge could he possibly kill such a powerful, inhuman foe.

Boom boom boom—!

From all directions, above and below, the twisting indigo blue currents of the Void Realm surged in endlessly, containing infinite dangers. Any other Fourth Order powerhouse would have long been reduced to skin and bones, their flesh to mud. However, Shen Bei's eyes flashed. He stood firm at the center of such terrifying turbulent currents, allowing various forces—some obvious, some hidden, some direct, some winding, some pulling, some squeezing—to wash over him. Layers of hexagonal patterns materialized on his body, and he stood like a dark golden, ten-thousand-year-old divine mountain, unmoving.

Shen Bei's body suddenly turned silver-white.

King Kong Indestructible Body!

At the same time, the "Decay" Word Skill was also activated silently.

His entire body seemed to enter a Domain of temporal decay.

Not only would enemies touched by it feel their vitality and True Qi slowly draining, as if even the space-time around them was gradually aging, their defense and mobility slowly diminishing until they were unable to struggle.

It could also absorb enemy attacks!

Under this dual effect,

Shen Bei's defense attribute, combined with his Fifth Dimension Attribute, how strong his defense truly was,

Even Shen Bei himself did not know.

Therefore, facing the Nine Lives Raven, who was unleashing his full combat power and all his Moves, Shen Bei had no sense of being surrounded at all. Instead, he strolled leisurely amidst the tsunami attacks from all directions, as if treating his opponent's power as a touchstone.
