84: Chapter 85 A figure standing tall in the sky!

The Flame Gryphon let out another sharp cry.

Its pupils shrank to pinpoints.

Then its entire body arched backward.

Its wings spread wide.

Another Wind-Fire vortex formed in its beak.

It was almost twice the size of the first Wind-Fire sphere.

Layer upon layer compressed,

forming a rotating vortex of death.

It then shot out.

The rotating drill and the spinning Wind-Fire vortex collided.

Boom—

A massive flash of light swallowed the entire sky.

A powerful shockwave formed rings of explosion clouds.

Even on the ground,

one could feel an overwhelming pressure descending.

The whole body felt as if it had been run over by a cart.

At the center of the storm,

the yellow drill kept spinning.

It kept collapsing,

struggling to pierce the vortex.

For one moment—just one moment—

its drill had already broken through the vortex.

Ultimately, it was still engulfed.

A violent explosion occurred.

Although the power of the rampaging Wind-Fire vortex was also weakened,

its residual force was still terrifying.

It rushed straight toward Lu Chen.

With a loud boom,

the vortex exploded.

His figure disappeared again,

appearing outside the explosion radius.

But even the aftershock of the explosion tore open the armor on his body.

Pieces of elemental armor turned into specks of energy and dissipated in the air,

along with the skin underneath, which blistered.

The pain was unbearable.

The flames were like knives.

However, the Mind Armor and the Atomic Rebirth Technique immediately activated.

The injured parts were instantly repaired.

The shattered elemental armor was rewoven within a few seconds.

Normal attacks were completely useless against it.

Lu Chen's thoughts raced in his mind,

like a high-speed computer,

countless thoughts flashing every second.

Soon,

he realized the core of the problem.

He needed one heavy strike,

a true blow.

If this situation continued,

it might vent its frustration on the city.

Below,

thousands of citizens watched the sky with helplessness and awe.

Some people, weeping in fear, dared not look away.

Lenses were all aimed at the sky.

Every moment,

that nameless warrior clad in purple armor held the hearts of countless people.

Far away from Base City D-6,

the four members of the Pei family were so angry their chests felt ready to explode.

Who was this bastard?

How dare he ruin their plan?

Pei Yuanzhao's body tensed,

his arms itching to intervene,

wanting to directly destroy that disruptor,

letting that monster destroy everything.

But reason forcibly stopped all his actions.

If he joined the battle,

the Alliance would definitely know a B-rank had fought here.

The satellites in space would record everything accurately.

That would be the Pei family's doomsday.

So, he held back.

Lu Chen's Heavenly Thunder Domain grew brighter.

Purple arcs of electricity struck the Flame Gryphon again and again.

The monster shrieked,

frantically beating its wings.

But this damage was almost negligible to it.

Neither side could do anything to the other.

It was growing increasingly impatient.

Lu Chen knew the time had come.

He could not delay any longer.

Immediately, he raised one hand.

This time,

he did not summon the two realms sword.

That sword was too recognizable.

Power from the earth converged,

and a longsword with a novel design appeared.

The blade was black,

engraved with mysterious patterns,

resembling a giant beast capable of devouring everything.

It exuded destructive Sword Qi.

The Heaven-Swallowing Divine Sword—

a weapon from another world.

He gripped the hilt,

and then,

closed his eyes.

Level Ten Sword Intent of the Heaven-Splitting Divine Sword,

Eleven times the base power.

Streams of majestic power flowed through his body,

pounding in his arm,

fusing with the sword body.

Primal Origin Severing Sword—

five times the speed.

The entire world seemed to slow down.

That violent flame hurricane moved as slowly as a turtle crawling.

The trajectory of every flame, every gust of wind, was revealed in his perception.

Ten Directions Annihilation Sword—

Level Three,

six times the amplification.

Rumble.

Inside the space within his body,

the three Spiritual Veins vibrated,

as if giant beasts awakening from slumber,

releasing a resonance.

This was a pure resonance.

Wherever this resonance passed,

it erased all differences,

as if fusing the Heaven-Splitting Divine Sword, the Primal Origin Severing Sword, and the Ten Directions Annihilation Sword.

Lu Chen opened his eyes.

His pupils radiated golden light.

His will unshakable, he swung the sword in his hand.

Whoosh—

In that moment,

the entire night sky seemed to be torn apart.

A destructive Sword Intent erupted,

gradually expanding,

transforming into a black light that devoured everything,

sweeping forward.

Ten Directions Annihilation Sword,

6 times output.

Elemental power,

2 times amplification.

The power of this attack reached 4.5 million tons.

This was the power of B-rank Level Two.

Even Lu Chen himself had not expected

that his Ten Directions Annihilation Sword, without achieving Perfection,

could unleash such power without loss.

If he had known earlier...

the battle would have ended long ago.

Facing this peerlessly powerful sword strike,

“Screech!”

The Flame Gryphon instinctively let out a cry of terror.

It wanted to flee,

beating its wings with all its might.

Its speed was so fast

that the entire sky erupted with sharp screeches.

But the faster it flew,

the faster the sword light moved.

A black streak passed through its body.

Swish—

The Flame Gryphon's massive body suddenly froze.

That destructive black line slashed across its body.

In an instant,

the entire sky fell silent.

Then its enormous body split apart,

perfectly cleaved down the middle,

falling in two halves toward the city outskirts,

lifeless.

Lu Chen floated high in the sky,

his shoulders rising and falling with each heavy breath.

The armor on his body shone dimly,

the Flying Sword in his hand shattered,

wisps of white smoke rose from his gloves,

but his posture was incomparably straight.
