Swallowing the Stars: Heart of the Martial God

Chapter 110 Tianhua, you're not a human spy, are you?
Ling Xuan neither dodged nor evaded, and once again swung the Heaven-Slaying Blade in his hand, the "Breaking Illusion" blade intent reappearing.

This time, he no longer simply slashed, but used the agility of the Great Void Technique to move around Venerable Tianhua's massive body. His blade light was like a leech, constantly attacking the vital points around Venerable Tianhua's body.

Venerable Tianhua wielded his divine hammer, protecting himself completely. As the hammer swung, it created a huge area of ​​hammer shadows, attempting to envelop Ling Xuan within it.

Each collision of the hammer and the blade caused the surrounding space to vibrate violently, compressing the air to the point of solidity, forming visible air ripples that spread outwards, affecting a range of hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

With his rich combat experience, Venerable Tianhua skillfully used the rhythm and angle of his divine hammer's attacks to engage in a fierce battle of offense and defense with Ling Xuan.

Each of his hammer blows contained immense power, attempting to completely suppress Ling Xuan's sword intent.

"Dang Dang Dang..."

A series of rapid collisions rang out as the blade and hammer clashed repeatedly in the void, sending energy fragments flying like fireworks, clearly visible from millions of kilometers away.

Ling Xuan's sword intent and holy might continuously eroded Tianhua Venerable's divine power defense, while the blood-red vertical eye on Tianhua Venerable's face occasionally shot out red light, forming both defense and attack.

Ling Xuan's movements were agile and unpredictable, like a nimble cheetah, weaving freely through the gaps in Tianhua Venerable's attacks; Tianhua Venerable, on the other hand, was as steady as a mountain, each attack carrying a powerful sense of oppression, attempting to completely crush Ling Xuan.

"You demon race, you've learned to use a warhammer quite well from humans. Could you be a spy who's been possessed by a human and is hiding among the demon race?" Ling Xuan mocked.

"Damn it!" Venerable Tianhua roared in anger. Their greatest enemy was humans, and they usually traveled by hiding in the puppet's world ring.

These puppets all have demon heads and human bodies, symbolizing the desire to trample humanity underfoot.

"Haha, did I guess right?" Ling Xuan laughed.

"You are the one who has been possessed by a human and is now a piece of trash!" Venerable Tianhua said in a fit of rage.

In the midst of the fierce battle, Ling Xuan seized an opening, and his Heaven-Slaying Blade, like a serpent emerging from its hole, bypassed the Divine Hammer's defense and slashed towards Venerable Tianhua's waist.

Venerable Tianhua reacted extremely quickly, twisting his body abruptly and simultaneously sweeping his hammer to force Ling Xuan back.

However, it was still struck by the fierce blade light. The blade's unbreakable intent sliced ​​through the armor's defenses and annihilated a portion of its divine power.

This minor mistake ignited a surge of anger in Venerable Tianhua's heart. He realized that Venerable Xudao was far more troublesome than he had imagined.

"You have completely enraged me!" Venerable Tianhua was furious, and his attack became even more ferocious.

He merged the two divine hammers into one, transforming it into a gigantic divine hammer, and slammed it down fiercely towards Ling Xuan. This hammer strike gathered all his understanding of the laws, and its power was several times stronger than before; it was his strongest move.

At this moment, Venerable Tianhua was like a god of war descending upon the world, his giant hammer seemingly capable of splitting the heavens and the earth. The surrounding space was distorted and deformed by this powerful force, creating huge black holes that seemed capable of devouring everything, with an influence range reaching millions of kilometers.

Ling Xuan took a deep breath. "Hahaha, come on."

As the Great Sage's Law was pushed to its limit, the golden patterns on the Heaven-Slaying Blade became even more dazzling.

Facing the giant hammer, he once again unleashed "Breaking Illusion." The moment the blade collided with the giant hammer, the vast divine power surged and crashed against each other like a raging storm.

Boom~
The two combatants were sent flying backwards like kites with broken strings.

Although Ling Xuan's treasured armor tried its best to resist, it was ultimately no match for Venerable Tianhua's high-grade treasured armor. Even after the terrifying power was weakened by the secret technique and armor, it still eroded his body like a sharp blade, causing cracks to appear on his body surface. If it weren't for his strong physical body, he would have been torn apart.

"Void Healing Mantra." Ling Xuan took a deep breath, and the endless void energy on the Primordial Star poured in as if guided, flowing into the cracks in his body and rapidly repairing his injuries. The cracks healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Meanwhile, Venerable Tianhua also secretly gasped. In that clash just now, he had actually lost 2% of his divine body.

This is without burning divine power in the battle; if it really comes to that, the losses will only be greater.

Looking at the Void Blade Venerable opposite him, he was still full of fighting spirit, as if he had not been affected at all, which made him even more wary.

"Hmph~" Venerable Tianhua snorted coldly. To cover his embarrassment, he flashed to Venerable Qianguang of the Thorn Ring Alliance and said domineeringly, "I've taken a liking to this place." Venerable Qianguang was naturally furious. He pointed at Venerable Tianhua and shouted, "Tianhua, you can't beat Venerable Xudao, so you think I'm easy to bully?"

The two disagreed and naturally engaged in another battle. Ling Xuan, on the other hand, calmly walked to the spot in front of Venerable Tianhua, waiting for the palace gates to open.

After a fierce battle, Venerable Qian Guang finally chose to give up.

As the direct disciple of the Dream Demon Ancestor, Venerable Tianhua's strength is indeed not to be underestimated and is quite impressive.

About a year later, the light barrier that had enveloped the six gates of the palace and separated the inside from the outside suddenly disappeared without warning.

The powerful figures guarding the six gates rushed in almost simultaneously, like arrows released from a bow.

As soon as he stepped into the palace gate, Ling Xuan felt a strong distortion of space and time. The scene before him changed rapidly, and the next second he was in a magnificent hall.

Opposite the main hall stood Serpent Dragon Venerable of the Northern Frontier Alliance, one of the five top cosmic overlords who had previously been outside.

The opponent is a unique life form, the Serpent Dragon, with a life gene up to 3500 times stronger than the rest of the universe, making it incredibly powerful.

The reason Ling Xuan didn't cause trouble for the Northern Frontier Alliance experts before was because he felt they were too difficult to deal with.

The Serpent Dragon Venerable was enormous, nearly ten thousand meters long. His body resembled both a snake and a dragon, covered in dark green scales that shimmered with a metallic luster. He had a pair of curved dragon horns on his head, and his eyes were crimson, exuding a chilling killing intent.

“I didn’t expect to encounter you first, Venerable Void Blade.” Venerable Serpent Dragon spoke, his voice low and hoarse, with an unsettling hiss.

Ling Xuan held the Heaven-Slaying Blade in his hand, his expression calm: "I didn't expect this either, but I've taken a liking to this treasure. You should leave now."

A red light flashed in the Serpent Dragon Venerable's eyes. Without another word, his massive body moved suddenly, rushing towards Ling Xuan like a dark green lightning bolt.

At the same time, it opened its mouth and spat out an invisible wave that swept towards Ling Xuan.

This is the Serpent Dragon's innate secret technique – "Soul-Devouring Sonic Wave," which specifically targets the soul and can tear apart the soul of a powerful individual in an instant; it is both bizarre and domineering.

However, Ling Xuan's Zhouheng clone is an energy-type life form, lacking the soul structure of a flesh-and-blood life form, so such soul attacks are nothing to him.

The invisible wave passed through his body without causing any abnormality.

Upon seeing this, the Serpent Dragon Venerable's eyes flashed with surprise. Although the appearance of the Zhouheng clone looked like an energy-type life form, who would know if it was real without trying it?

However, it was prepared. Its massive body had already reached Ling Xuan, and its long tail swept across with a howling wind, causing the air to explode.

Ling Xuan swayed and used the Void Steps technique to easily evade the Serpent Dragon Venerable's attack.

At the same time, he swung the Heaven-Slaying Blade in his hand, and the "Breaking Illusion" blade intent appeared once again, the blade light slashing straight at the Serpent Dragon Venerable's body.

"Clang!" The blade struck the scales of the Serpent Dragon Venerable, producing a crisp sound and leaving only a shallow white mark.

Serpent Dragon Venerable was taken aback, not expecting Ling Xuan's attack power to be so strong.

It roared and its body spiraled into the air, spewing out countless dark green energy orbs from its mouth, raining down on Ling Xuan like a storm.

Ling Xuan was fearless, wielding the Heaven-Slaying Blade with impenetrable skill, blocking all the light orbs.

The two engaged in a fierce battle, exchanging blows back and forth, within the main hall.

With its massive body and formidable defense, the Serpent Dragon Venerable launched a relentless barrage of attacks, sometimes tearing and clawing with its sharp claws, sometimes lashing out with its long tail, and sometimes unleashing energy blasts.

However, Ling Xuan's Great Void Technique was incredibly agile, always managing to evade attacks at the last possible moment, while simultaneously unleashing the Delusion-Breaking Blade Intent to continuously deplete the Serpent Dragon Venerable's divine power.
