1091: Chapter 1090 The Divine Demon Greatsword - Without Edge

Even the Spirit Emperor, who had remained calm as if everything was under its control, felt its dark-gold crystal body tremble imperceptibly. For the first time, a clear look of daze appeared in its golden eyes.

Its strike, which mobilized the Origin of the ancient battlefield, combined with the assists of the other Rank Five heroic spirits, had actually only left a few self-repairing cracks on this mysterious being's armor?

The defensive power and recovery ability of this armor were simply beyond its understanding!

But this moment of daze lasted for less than half a breath.

Immediately, the astonishment in the Spirit Emperor's eyes was replaced by a more intense, purer joy and greed!

"Good! What a perfect vessel! What a miraculous Divine Ability!"

The Spirit Emperor's mental fluctuations trembled slightly due to extreme excitement. "Such powerful defense and recovery, flesh and blood that fits the Law so well... This is simply a supreme treasure body bestowed by the heavens for me to break free from my cage and ascend to the peak!"

The way it looked at Luo Xiu was no longer just about wanting to possess a powerful Physical Body; it was more like looking at an unparalleled, peerless treasure that was about to be obtained!

"Such a treasure body should belong to me!"

The Spirit Emperor's voice suddenly became high-pitched and majestic. "Generals, hear my command! At all costs, wear him down! Trap him!

When his strength is exhausted, it will be the time for my Rebirth through Possession!"

"Roar—!!!"

All the Rank Five heroic spirits snapped out of their initial shock. The killing intent and greed in their eyes became even more frenzied because of the Spirit Emperor's words!

They roared again, channeling even more violent energy as they launched a new round of even more reckless, all-out attacks!

The cracks on the left shoulder armor were closing slowly but steadily, conveying a subtle sense of energy flow, like a wound growing new flesh.

But instead of bringing any comfort, this caused alarm bells to ring in Luo Xiu's heart.

The enemy was wearing him down!

The Spirit Emperor's intention was already crystal clear.

The battlefield Origin power it mobilized was nearly infinite. Although the Rank Five heroic spirits under its command were far inferior to him in individual strength, they were numerous, coordinated well, and were completely unafraid of death.

They didn't need to kill him immediately. They only needed to constantly attack, harass, and force him to defend and counterattack, grinding down his strength bit by bit and wearing out his mind until he was exhausted and revealed a fatal flaw!

No matter how strong the armor of gods and demons was, its self-repair required the consumption of his own energy and Origin.

While the Divine Demon Returning to the Void flame was powerful, its consumption was even more terrifying.

If he continued this passive defense and stalemate, even with the foundation of his Rank Five god-demon body, there would eventually come a moment when he was dragged down!

He had to break the situation!

He had to use thunderous methods to disrupt the opponent's rhythm, tear open a gap, and sever their continuous chain of attacks!

In Luo Xiu's eyes, the flames of dark night and molten gold suddenly withdrew, turning into two points of extremely condensed cold stars.

The boiling God-Demon Flame around him also seemed to sense the change in its master's state of mind. It was no longer violently released outward, but instead, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, it was all retracted into his body.

This made the dark-gold armor of gods and demons' light more restrained, yet it faintly emitted a heart-palpitating, heavy pressure that was about to explode.

He took a deep breath.

This breath seemed to forcibly pull the surrounding chaotic energy and battlefield Evil Qi into his chest and abdomen, transforming them into the purest killing intent.

The next moment—

"Zheng—!"

A clear and heavy sword chime, seemingly coming from the ancient Chaos, resounded through the battlefield without warning!

Luo Xiu slowly raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and suddenly gripped the Void Realm in front of him!

It was as if he wasn't gripping air, but the Void Realm itself!

"Crackle..."

Space let out a groan of being overburdened, and a tiny black crack spread in front of his palm.

Immediately after, from within the crack, a point of dark-gold light lit up, rapidly expanding, extending, and condensing!

The outline of a greatsword transformed from illusory to solid as it was slowly pulled out from the void by him!

The sword was nearly ten feet long. Its entire body presented a simple and heavy dark gray color, as if it had experienced the accumulation of endless years, and also as if it had absorbed the primordial mists from the beginning of Chaos.

The blade was broad but had no edge or blade-tip. Its edges were rounded, looking more like a roughly polished giant stone ruler than a Sharp Weapon used for killing.

However, the moment this "edge-less" greatsword appeared, everyone on the battlefield—whether it was the Rank Five heroic spirits attacking frantically, the Four Demon Generals and the heroic spirit army fighting below, or even the Spirit Emperor with its vast aura—felt a strong throb in their hearts involuntarily!

That was not an aura of sharpness, but a kind of heaviness!

A kind of suppression!

A sense of absolute power that seemed capable of carrying the heavens and earth and crushing all things!

There were no gorgeous decorations on the blade, only natural dark-gold patterns that looked like Dao engravings. They flowed faintly deep within the sword, emitting an ancient god-demon aura that made all Laws retreat and all evils unable to invade.

The god-demon greatsword — edge-less!

This was the natal weapon that Luo Xiu had nurtured and condensed within his body using his own god-demon Origin and his ultimate understanding of the Law of Strength when he achieved his Rank Five Breakthrough!

It did not pursue extreme sharpness or speed. Instead, it pushed the Laws of "Strength" and "Suppression" to the extreme. One force to overcome ten, using absolute weight and suppressing power to crush all obstacles!

Holding the god-demon greatsword "edge-less" in his right hand, he slowly closed the fingers of his left hand into a fist.

On his knuckles, the dark-gold God-Demon Flame was no longer released outward but covered the surface of his fist like a liquid. It was condensed and compressed, making his entire left fist seem to transform into a small dark-gold sun that could explode at any time, containing the dual powers of incineration and pulverization.

"Whew..."

Luo Xiu slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. His aura became completely calm, like the final silence before a storm.

Then, he moved.

No roaring, no light or shadow special effects.

Just simply, a single step forward.

The space beneath his feet rippled like water. His figure suddenly blurred, and in the next instant, he had boldly charged into the core of the encirclement formed by the twenty-plus Rank Five heroic spirits!

This time, his goal was no longer defense or parrying, but—slaying!

"Arrogant!"

The Chained One-Eyed Giant roared, swinging its dark-gold chains like a venomous dragon emerging from its cave. It was the first to coil toward Luo Xiu's right arm holding the sword, and the Seal runes on the chains lit up with all their might!

Luo Xiu didn't even look. He used the god-demon greatsword "edge-less" with a speed that was completely inconsistent with its clumsy appearance, seemingly casually swinging it upward!

"Dang—!!!"

The chains collided with the edge-less greatsword, producing a dull, thunderous sound like two mountain peaks crashing into each other!

The Seal runes lighting up on the chains were instantly extinguished like a candle in the wind the moment they touched the dark-gold patterns on the sword's body!

Immediately after, an indescribably heavy and massive force surged up along the chains!

"Crack! Pfft—!"

The chains snapped inch by inch and went flying!

The one-eyed giant's arm holding the chain, along with half of its shoulder, was shattered into an explosive pulverization by this massive force!

It let out a shrill scream, its massive body flying backward uncontrollably!
