I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

He gripped the halberd tightly with his left hand, turning the shaft inward half a turn.

The intact gold patterns on his chest lit up one after another, the golden light dazzling.

The power from the sternum, left shoulder, and left arm surged towards the halberd's tip, leaving no undamaged parts with any remaining strength, and the cold light of the halberd's tip grew even stronger!

The black and gold light quickly subsided.

The churning dust around them stopped in mid-air.

The force between the halberd blades grew heavier and heavier, and the dust waves followed, being pressed down to the ground layer by layer.

Yan Qiao stared at Shen Tian, ​​his fierceness undiminished, no longer caring about his injuries.

He had already suffered greatly in close combat.

Then let's unleash all our remaining forces before this human gets close again!

Shen Tian paused half a beat in his pursuit.

The sea of ​​evil energy surged around him, and the accumulated crimson light continuously poured into his Dharma form.

The injured arm and chest were covered in blood, and the wounds slowly closed up.

After a series of head-on clashes, his reserves had been depleted considerably, but the duration of the [Undying Body] was not even halfway over, so he still had time to continue fighting.

He looked up at Yan Qiao in front of him.

The right shoulder was cracked and collapsed, the ribs and abdomen were missing and exposed, and the left palm was half destroyed and charred.

The eleventh-tier Abyss True Body that had just made it difficult for him to shift positions is now even missing parts in its shoulders and chest.

Shen Tian's gaze swept over these wounds; any one of them, if struck again, could cause this true body to collapse.

Shen Tian gripped the Divine Punishment Battle Blade tightly.

The laws governing the six weapons shone simultaneously.

Lightning surged along the greatsword, crimson flames erupted from the edge of the battle axe, and the sharpness of the spear and halberd converged and tightened.

Behind him, the illusory images of the four boundary walls gradually converged inward!

The primordial source of the Origin Realm surged forth, supporting the gathering battle aura, and the blood-red killing intent grew ever stronger.

Yan Qiao's gaze finally landed on the battle blade that had not yet been drawn.

Before the blade even struck, the nearby black and gold protective aura had already caved in slightly, directly facing the blade.

He gripped the halberd shaft tighter and tighter, his gaze never leaving the blade.

The Dharma Image raises its six arms, and the Divine Punishment Battle Blade is held high.

The crimson blade light was so intense that it almost obscured the blade itself, and the surrounding air was distorted by the heat.

The lightning on the greatsword crossed the hilt, the spear's sharpness converged inward, and the power of the laws within the battle axe and halberd surged along the six giant arms, all pouring into the blade.

The blood-red patterns on the giant shield lit up layer by layer, and the blood-red light flowed along the patterns.

Four layers of barriers manifested behind Shen Tian, ​​and the surrounding space tightened accordingly.

Six Soldiers of Heavenly Punishment!

A massive surge of battle demons erupted from the Sea of ​​Evil, pressing down on the battle blade.

Shen Tian's wrist suddenly sank.

Fine cracks appeared on the six arms of the blood-red Dharma image.

It has clearly reached its limit.

I've reached my limit; if I continue, my physical body will collapse first.

Right in front, Yan Qiao's halberd had already arrived!

The remaining power of the Black Gold True Body was all suppressed into the halberd's edge.

The dark, gold pillar swept up the scattered clouds in the sky, bringing with it a whole mass of falling clouds as it crashed into Shen Tian, ​​darkening the sky above him.

The space along the way was compressed inward, and the falling pebbles were crushed into powder as soon as they touched the edge of the dark pillar.

Shen Tian strode forward, and Fa Xiang swung his left arm to raise the giant shield, pressing down on the lower edge of the halberd.

The heavy sword on the right side swept horizontally at the same time, the spine of the sword colliding with the thick halberd shaft, both weapons exerting force at the same time!

boom!

A deafening explosion erupted over the two armies!

The giant shield and the heavy sword bounced off simultaneously, the shockwave traveling back along the weapons, and the Dharma Image's arms were also jolted outwards.

The blood-red markings on Faxiang's chest could not withstand the force of the halberd and collapsed inward.

The moment the two weapons were thrown apart, the Divine Punishment Battle Blade moved!

The crimson blade sliced ​​through the gap created by the two weapons and plunged headlong into the black and gold pillar!

The blade's edge spread out in mid-air, and crimson light poured down, suddenly making the sky as bright as day.

The next moment, the clouds within a radius of dozens of miles were torn apart from the point of impact.

A halo of crimson and black-gold light expanded into the sky, and the clouds receded in concentric circles.

The pale sky above was revealed, and when the people on the battlefield looked up, there was no longer a single cloud overhead.

The aftershocks swept across the northern slope outside the valley, carving a deep ditch along the slope.

The entire rock stratum was lifted up from the edge of the gully and rolled outwards.

The boulders that had collapsed from the mountaintop were still hanging in mid-air when the shockwave caught up with them, crushing them into a cloud of gray mist.

In mid-air, Yan Qiao's massive body suddenly sank downwards.

The halberd in his hand was not broken, but the thick shaft had been bent into a bow by the immense force.

The dark gold scales covering his left arm cracked with a series of loud cracking sounds as pieces peeled off.

The golden patterns that had just coalesced on his chest were forced open by the blade. Crack! A sound of bone breaking came from deep within his right shoulder.

The bone that had been split earlier could no longer hold on, and the crack ran all the way through, severing the surging source of energy here!

With no obstruction, the Divine Punishment Blade sliced ​​deep into the shoulder and chest through the rift.

laugh!

Half of his shoulder and chest exploded open, with dark red flesh mixed with golden light shooting outwards.

The gold pattern that ran through the entire arm was cut in two by the blade.

A sudden burst of purple light flashed in Shen Tian's eyes. Destructive lightning surged into the wound along the blade, and streaks of purple light pierced through flesh and bone, penetrating the interior of the black-gold true body and striking the severed connection to its origin!

Yan Qiao let out a fierce roar.

He hurriedly drew upon his own essence, his left hand forming a claw as he dug into his festering right shoulder.

He grabbed the flesh and bones scorched by the lightning, trying to tear them off to stop the purple light from spreading further.

Before he could stop the lightning, a grayish-white crack appeared on his ribs.

The permanent damage left from earlier has never been repaired.

Now the crack extends upwards from here, connecting with the new wound on the shoulder, and the flesh and bone in the middle can no longer hold on!

Click!

With a piercing tearing sound, the entire chest cavity snapped in two from the middle!

The black and gold halberd slipped from his grasp and fell to the ground, while Yan Qiao's mangled body was thrown backward.

From the shoulders and back to the spine, and then to the ribs and abdomen, the golden patterns that maintained the true form gradually faded away.

The enormous black-gold true form shattered into pieces in mid-air, with large chunks of flesh, blood, and scales falling densely.

The eleventh-order origin is still sustaining it.

Strands of golden light taut from the shattered flesh and bone, pulling the mangled body toward the empty space in the center of the chest cavity.

The separated scales and bones came closer together again, and several pieces of flesh were also pulled together.

Shen Tian had already caught up with him, not even giving him a moment to catch his breath.

Blood gushed from the arm of the Dharma Image holding the knife, and the crimson light from the Sea of ​​Evil immediately filled the crack.

Shen Tian used this force to stabilize his blade, maintaining his pursuit speed without slowing down at all.

The Dharma-image spear pierced through the broken armor on Yan Qiao's chest, and the heavy sword slashed horizontally, severing the flowing golden patterns.

The Divine Punishment Blade was raised high once more, aimed at the previously torn wound, and slammed down heavily, blade and arm together!

boom!

The deafening roar drowned out the sound of flesh and bone shattering. The remains, which had just been drawn together by the golden light, exploded again, scattering fragments in all directions.

Yan Qiao could no longer maintain his fierce expression.

He stared at the fragments, his bloodshot vertical pupils filled with terror.

This time, the golden light failed to pull them back, and the essence crushed by the battle blade failed to reassemble!

He could decisively discard the burned bones, but he could never find the life connection in his ribs that had been lost forever.

The new knife wounds are still spreading deeper into the internal organs.

Shen Tian unleashed a flurry of attacks with his six arms, his weapons raining down one after another. His tattered true body could no longer withstand the onslaught; if the fight continued, he would lose even his last remaining essence!

"Stop!"

The terrified roar had barely left his lips, and before the last note had even faded, the Dharma Axe, accompanied by a storm, had already cleaved into his left shoulder!

Yan Qiao's half-destroyed body was cleaved and rolled downwards, unable to maintain his balance.

The plea for mercy was cut short by the axe blow, barely uttered.

A blinding golden light burst forth from amidst the scattered pieces of flesh!

Yan Qiao did not try to pull at his mangled body anymore, letting his flesh and bones fall to the ground, completely abandoning his black gold true form.

He used the last bit of his complete essence to wrap his soul, transforming it into a golden light that shot straight towards the distant military fortress!

As long as he can get through the protective array, there are still resources inside that he can borrow, and he can temporarily save his life.

Shen Tian's gaze turned cold as he stared at the fleeing golden light.

The illusory image of the Origin Realm unfolded behind them, enveloping the military fortress and blocking out the sunlight.

Four layers of barriers rose above the military fortress, their thick surfaces blocking the way and trapping the fleeing golden light within them!

Bang! The golden light crashed into the first barrier, causing the origin containing the divine soul to shrink inward.

Yan Qiao immediately changed direction, darting around along the edge of the boundary wall, trying to find a gap.

He had just gone around the second barrier when it closed.

The third barrier blocks the opening on the side.

Just as the golden light broke through a crack, the fourth barrier pressed down, sealing off the light that had managed to get through!

Inside the enclosed space, the golden light swayed violently.

Yan Qiao's soul watched as Shen Tian approached step by step.

He looked around again, but all four barriers were closed, leaving not even a crack to squeeze through. Despair was all that remained on his face.

The purple light in Shen Tian's eyes shone again.

Yan Qiao's lifeline was revealed in his field of vision; he could see at a glance how much strength he had left.

The intense light that had previously pierced through the Black Gold True Body has now dimmed considerably.

The life essence of this eleventh-tier ruler has already been lost by more than half.

The remaining power barely enveloped the soul, and the golden light was still flickering, unable to support the previously powerful true body.

The Nine Netherworld Trial.

The deathly power of gray-black crashed down!
