While I was in Mondstadt, I never imagined becoming a god.

His robes clung tightly to his skin under the pressure of the blade wind, and the golden platform beneath his feet creaked and cracked under the weight.

There is no way to avoid it.

In Xu Chuan's eyes, the markings of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan spun wildly.

A wisp of grayish-white power condensed and took shape as Bawen spun, spreading out from the depths of his pupils and casting a faint, indistinct phantom around him.

Before he could fully unleash Susanoo, the slash had already arrived.

Boom!

Xu Chuan was transformed into a golden meteor by this overwhelmingly powerful force, soaring into the sky.

Then it crashed into the pure land of the heart, the ceiling that had begun to collapse, and flew towards the higher sky.

"This way of changing battlefields is just too hardcore."

His voice was broken and intermittent by the wind during the high-speed flight.

With this strike, the Pure Land of One Heart, which had already reached its limit, shattered, revealing the real world outside.

Beneath the statue of the Thousand Hands and Hundred Eyes, Lei Yingdian's figure reappeared in everyone's sight.

The twin-winged halo behind her was still there, and the Dream Heart in her hand still shimmered with lingering lightning.

Without pausing, she moved swiftly and chased after the direction in which Xu Chuan had been knocked away.

"Victory, General!" Kujo Takayuki's long-suppressed emotions burst forth at this moment.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his voice trembled with excitement. Behind him, the warriors of the Heavenly Territory followed suit, raising their arms and shouting.

But Lei didn't even spare him a glance.

Her figure had already disappeared dozens of miles away, leaving only a faint purple arc of electricity in the square.

Yae no Miko ignored Kujo Takayuki's predicament.

Her gaze locked onto the two departing figures, and she left a pink afterimage as she flew in the direction they had disappeared.

Bang!

After being blasted dozens of miles away from Inazuma Castle, Xu Chuan's body traced a long parabola in the air.

It crashed heavily into the sea off Narukami Island.

The impact blasted the seawater into a huge white splash.

He continued to fall like a meteorite, smashing the reef into pieces.

The rising silt churned the surrounding seawater into a murky mess.

Before he could even climb out of the sea, the surface of the ocean above him was cleaved in two by a purple slash.

The blade fell vertically from mid-air, and wherever it passed, the seawater was neatly divided in two.

The surrounding seawater was blocked by an invisible force field, forming two water walls that were tens of feet high.

Lei stood in mid-air above the water wall, looking down at the deep pit at the bottom of the sea.

"Come on, here we need not hold back anymore."

As soon as she finished speaking, the two separated sections of seawater lost their support.

The massive seawater crashed down with a deafening roar.

Xu Chuan's figure was no longer at the bottom of the sea.

Holding the fake Dream Heart, he broke through the waves from underwater and slashed head-on at Lei Movie's face.

There are no techniques involved; it's purely a matter of brute force.

Clang!

Sparks flew as the two swords clashed.

The pressure from the sea below created a semi-circular depression.

One light, one purple, the two beams of light constantly clashed and collided on the outer sea of ​​Inazuma.

The residual energy rippled through the clouds, tearing them open and allowing sunlight to stream down, forming beams of light that pierced the heavens and the earth.

The deafening roar, like continuous thunder, crashed wave after wave towards Inazuma Castle.

The residents of the city looked up at the distant sea and could only see the purple and gold light flashing continuously beneath the dark clouds.

Some people covered their ears, some hugged their children tightly, and some knelt on the ground to pray.

"No way, the general is still fighting that guy!"

Someone pointed to the horizon, at the two constantly colliding beams of light, their voice distorted with shock.

"What about the battle just now?"

"Wasn't it already over?"

Those around them were equally incredulous, believing that what they had seen in the Pure Land of One Heart was the entirety of the battle.

They thought that the Thunder General's single strike, which sent their opponent flying, would be the end of their victory.

But no one could answer them.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a hurricane, whipped up by a wave that spread from the sea, crashed down upon them.

The hurricane, carrying the salty smell of the sea and the burnt smell of ionized lightning, roared into the streets and alleys of Inazuma Castle.

Those trying to climb onto the roof to look out at the distant battlefield clung to the eaves in terror, their bodies blown sideways by the hurricane, their feet kicking wildly in the air.

Wow, what a strong wind!

"Get out of the way! A storm is coming!"

Inazuma Castle descended into chaos.

On the shore, Yae no Miko and Kamisato Ayaka stood side by side, their long hair and robes billowing wildly in the hurricane.

In their line of sight, the sea was torn apart simply by the two figures exchanging blows.

"This is the power of the gods."

As Ayaka Kamisato gazed at the golden light, her hands unconsciously pressed against her heart.

Yae no Miko remained silent.

The consciousness residing within the amulet has not yet been triggered.

what does this mean?

Xu Chuan, relying on his own strength, fought a back-and-forth battle against a worldly ruler.

This caused a look of shock to appear on Yae no Miko's face.

The knight does not die unarmed, but by pushing himself to the limit.

The power of the Wind and Thunder God's Heart merged within Xu Chuan's body in the most brutal way.

He felt a power that made his heart tremble.

"Yes, that's it!"

"That's the kind of exhilarating battle we're talking about!"

Xu Chuan's fighting spirit burned brighter and brighter, like a flame doused with oil.

The markings of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan spun wildly in his pupils, breaking down every action in the movie into thousands of details.

He absorbed these details and then, in the next second, doubled his efforts into the battle.

Not far away, Lei's movies were equally impressive.

For the first time ever, a radiant smile bloomed on her usually frosty face.

For hundreds of years, she has kept herself sealed in a pure land of the heart.

Now, she has temporarily cast aside those heavy memories of the past, allowing her purest desire for battle to dominate her being.

This purest fighting spirit made each of her strikes heavier than the last.

It also rekindled the long-lost light in her eyes.

The duration of this duel before the emperor exceeded everyone's expectations.

Three days and three nights have passed.

From dusk on the first day to dawn on the fourth day, the battle near Inazuma never ceased.

Xu Chuan and Lei Yingdian seemed tireless, their figures appearing and disappearing on the sea.

Each appearance is accompanied by violent energy aftershocks and deafening roars.

These two have been fighting non-stop for three days, and their performance has not declined at all. On the contrary, they have become more and more aggressive as they stimulate each other.

Countless seawaters were evaporated as two terrifying elemental forces clashed.

On the second day of the battle, the entire Narukami Island was shrouded in a thick curtain of rain.

Looking out at the distant sea through the rain, people could only vaguely see two lights flashing in the fog, each flash triggering a clap of thunder.

This is a true natural disaster.

For hundreds of years, the Inatsume people had only heard of battles of this caliber in legends.

A corner of the war between demons is being replayed before their eyes.

The power of the gods cast a shadow over everyone's hearts.

Chapter 208 A Single, Unthinking Slash VS The Nail of Frost (Bonus Chapter 10)

Boom! Rumble!

Amidst the torrential rain, thunder roared.

The area outside Inazuma Castle is not peaceful either.

The two fronts have been locked in a stalemate for a full day.

The soldiers of the Heavenly Commander and the Rebel Army faced each other across a ditch carved out by the rain. The blood on their swords was diluted by the rain and flowed into a thin, pale red stream on the muddy ground.

This battle line should have been on Ba Yun Island.

However, after Kujo Sara betrayed the Tenryo magistrate and joined the resistance army, the battle lines were torn apart within a day.

The continuous torrential rain has now acted as a brake for them.

The two armies could only stand facing each other in the rain, waiting for the rain to stop or for the battle at sea to end.

Ayato Kamisato stood on the earthen slope outside the military camp, barely protecting his upper body with an oil-paper umbrella.

He gazed at the shimmering purple-gold light on the distant sea, shook his head with a wry smile.

"Even if we win the war now, the final outcome will probably not be decided by us."

"If Lord Xu Chuan can defeat General Lei Dian, no, even if he can only fight General Lei Dian to a draw... then we will have hope of turning the tide."

Coral Palace Heart Sea stood beside him, also completely soaked.

She continued, "Mr. Xu Chuan's strength has surpassed our understanding of mortals. His ability to fight against the ruling class of the mortal world to this extent is proof in itself."

"But judging from his current condition, it seems unlikely that he can do it."

Kujo Sara's voice came from behind.

She was fully armored, raindrops dripping from the edge of her tengu mask, her gaze fixed on the distant sea.

The two beams of light that kept colliding were reflected in his eyes.

One was blindingly purple, the other was dazzlingly golden.

Over the past three days, the golden light has gradually dimmed from its initial brightness, while the purple light has remained as stable as ever.

"The general's breathing is still stable."

"But Xu Chuan's aura was noticeably weaker."

"I don't know how much longer he can hold on, but if he continues to wear himself down like this, he'll probably be the first one to give out."

“I believe in Xu Chuan.” Ying’s voice was clear and crisp. “He will not be defeated by anyone, no matter who it is.”
