Boom!
The Great Meru Demonic Pillar, which was so dazzling that it looked as if it was forged with gold, tore through the horizon as it brought along a massive shadow and astonishing power. Under countless astonished gazes, it swiftly smashed towards the Netherworld Prince, who was standing in the sky.
, ybdu,
Under the demonic pillar, even space showed signs of distortions. Thus, one could tell how powerful the power that Mu Chen had unleashed with the help of the Dual Solar Energy of the Great Solar Undying Body was.
However, facing Mu Chen's all-out attack, there weren't many ripples on the Netherworld Prince's pale face. He only gently raised the Underworld God's Halberd in his hand. In the next instant, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
He had finally made his move.
Rustle!
Everyone could only see an inconspicuous serene light tearing through the horizon. After which, a clear metallic sound resounded. The Great Meru Demonic Pillar, which was smashing down in a domineering manner, suddenly froze at this moment. The enormous power contained in it seemed to have been completely cancelled out at this moment.
Countless gazes looked towards the front of the Great Meru Demonic Pillar, only to see a long black halberd blocking the demonic pillar without the slightest movement. Although compared to the size of the Great Meru Demonic Pillar, the long black halberd was so small that it seemed as though it would break at the slightest touch, it was precisely this long halberd that caused the gigantic Great Meru Demonic Pillar to be unable to advance even a single inch.
Countless experts inwardly smacked their lips at this sight. This was the strength of the second ranker on the Dragon-Phoenix Record?
Truly terrifying. Just the strength that he had displayed on the surface had already exceeded Liu Yan by leaps and bounds.
This was the dark horse Mu Chen who had charged out like a hot knife through butter.
This time, he had finally met a true opponent. It was just that he had no idea if he could make it through.
Mu Chen stood on the head of the Great Solar Undying Body.
He wore a grave expression as he looked at the Netherworld Prince, who was holding onto the halberd with a single hand, blocking the Great Meru Demonic Pillar. He deeply inhaled a mouthful of air as his gaze grew even sharper.
He knew that this battle wouldn't be easy.
While Mu Chen and the Netherworld Prince were fighting, on the other side of the sky.
The air was frozen. Although there wasn't any violent Spiritual Energy wreaking havoc, it still attracted the gazes of countless experts.
Because they knew very well.
No matter how intense the battle between Mu Chen and the Netherworld Prince was, this was probably the most important battlefield, because the two of them were confronting each other.
He was also the strongest existence in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven.
Fang Yi.
Being ranked first on the Dragon-Phoenix Record, his fame was extremely prominent amongst the younger generations of the Northern Region. Under his name, many geniuses paled in comparison. Everyone knew that he might become the next Pavilion Master of the Divine Pavilion in the future.
He had never become a top figure in the Northern Region.
On the other hand, Cai Xiao was so mysterious that it caused one's heart to palpitate.
Along the way, he had practically swept through everyone. Even geniuses like the Netherworld Prince and Fang Yi couldn't gain much of an advantage in his hands.
Therefore, the confrontation between the two of them was the most important factor that would determine the ownership of the Dragon-Phoenix Inheritance.
Cai Xiao's small and exquisite feet gently stepped on the air. Her cold and bewitching eyes were indifferently locked onto Fang Yi. There was a seven-coloured light flickering between her hands.
Although Fang Yi's expression was indifferent, there was a trace of graveness in the depths of his eyes. Facing the mysterious Cai Xiao, even someone as confident as him wasn't confident in his victory. But regardless of anything, there was no way out for him right now.
Fang Yi slowly clenched his fists as Spiritual Energy surged in this region. The space behind him fluctuated as boundless Spiritual Energy swept out like a tidal wave.
"Then, let me have a taste of Miss's means."
Fang Yi lightly smiled as he pointed his finger down. Instantly, the Spiritual Energy behind him whistled as a spiritual light surged, forming into huge purple swords that were roughly a few hundred feet in size. The huge swords emitted a torrential Sword Aura, as if they wanted to tear the heavens and earth apart.
The amount and the sharp Sword Aura made many experts feel their scalps going numb. Just a single one of them could probably make a Fourth Grade Sovereign into a miserable state. Now that so many of them were gathered together, the might was even more astonishing.
Clearly, Fang Yi knew that facing a powerful opponent like Cai Xiao, he would only be asking to be humiliated if he held back.
"Buzz!"
Fang Yi gently flicked his finger. Instantly, a sword cry resounded in the sky and the sound wave spread out a thousand miles away. After that, everyone saw the purple sword light whistling over. It was like a storm as it enveloped towards Cai Xiao from every direction.
It was a rather terrifying scene.
Facing the attack of the myriad of arrows, Cai Xiao had only stretched her finger out and drew a line in the sky. Instantly, a pitch-black spatial crack appeared in the space before her. Sizzle!
Sizzle!
As the purple sword lights whistled over, they were devoured by the spatial crack, unable to harm Cai Xiao, who was standing behind the crack.
When the experts in this region saw how easily Cai Xiao resolved Fang Yi's attack, they couldn't help narrowing their eyes. This Cai Xiao was indeed formidable. It was no wonder why Fang Yi was so fearful of her.
"Why use such puny tricks to embarrass yourself?"
Cai Xiao sneered. Soon after, she tapped her foot in the air, causing space to fluctuate as she disappeared.
She was going to make her move.
When Cai Xiao's silhouette disappeared, Fang Yi's pupils had also narrowed. The space around him fluctuated and he had also disappeared.
When everyone saw the two of them disappear, they couldn't help widening their eyes. Their speed was simply impossible to guard against. Compared to a Fourth Grade Sovereign, a Fifth Grade Sovereign was indeed much more powerful.
Boom!
Suddenly, a violent Spiritual Energy fluctuation wreaked havoc in the space a thousand feet away. In the distorted space, two phantom-like figures abruptly appeared and their palms clashed together.
As the shock wave spread out, the two of them trembled as they flew back. But clearly, Fang Yi had taken more steps back …
Forcefully stabilising his figure, Fang Yi knitted his brows as he clenched his fist. A purple longsword appeared in his hand. The Sword Aura from it was so sharp that it could even tear space apart. Clearly, it was also a High Rank Divine Artifact.
Rustle!
Without any hesitation, the Spiritual Energy in Fang Yi's body exploded. As space distorted, his figure disappeared once again, leaving behind a sharp Sword Aura that soared into the sky.
The fight between Cai Xiao and Fang Yi wasn't earth-shattering. On the contrary, it was a little strange. The two silhouettes seemed to be constantly teleporting, appearing in different locations in the sky. Their speed was something that even the eyes of others couldn't keep up with, and they could only sigh in admiration.
Up in the sky, Su Biyue, Hong Yu and Ding Xuan looked at the two battlefields and bitterly smiled as they shook their heads. This time, the Dragon-Phoenix Haven was basically a performance by those fellows. They were simply here to watch a show.
"I wonder which one of them will win."
Ding Xuan said in a low and muffled voice. He was addicted to battles, to begin with. But he clearly didn't dare to casually interfere in this sort of battle. Otherwise, he would be in trouble if he attracted the attacks of both parties.
"For the time being, we can't tell from the fight between Cai Xiao and Fang Yi. But in the fight between Mu Chen and the Netherworld Prince, the Netherworld Prince should have the upper hand. However, Mu Chen's intention was to delay the Netherworld Prince. If that's the case, he has accomplished it. However, the Netherworld Prince might not let him do as he wishes."
Su Biyue said in a soft voice. She was also an outstanding talent amongst the younger generations of the Northern Region, so she could naturally tell the situation of the two parties with a single glance.
"Once the Netherworld Prince defeats Mu Chen and joins hands with Fang Yi, Cai Xiao will be helpless."
Hearing her words, Hong Yu chuckled, "Looks like Big Sister thinks that the Netherworld Prince will win?
But I don't think that it will be that easy for the Netherworld Prince to deal with Mu Chen. "
"Mu Chen is truly not simple, but the Netherworld Prince isn't that easy to deal with either." Su Biyue smiled. She wasn't biased towards anyone, she only spoke according to what she knew.
"Really?
Then let us take a good look. "
Hong Yu chuckled. Actually, how could she not know about that? But due to her habit of going against Su Biyue, she wasn't willing to go along with the latter.
As they spoke, the battles on the two battlefields grew increasingly intense. Astonishing Spiritual Energy ripples shattered the thick layers of clouds within a ten thousand foot radius, turning them into fragmented clouds that floated in the sky.
Boom!
The Great Meru Demonic Pillar carried a terrifying power as it constantly waved out. But no matter how ferocious the demonic pillar was, it couldn't shake the halberd in the Netherworld Prince's hand.
In the confrontation between the two of them, although Mu Chen seemed to be in a ferocious state, anyone could tell that he was in a disadvantageous position. However, Mu Chen wasn't anxious, since he knew the gap between him and the Netherworld Prince. If it wasn't for the Great Solar Undying Body and Dragon-Phoenix Physique, it would be impossible for him to confront the Netherworld Prince head-on.
Furthermore, this current situation was something that he was happy to see. Right from the start, he had no intention of defeating the Netherworld Prince. What he wanted to do was to buy time for Cai Xiao.
That's because it was the same as what Fang Yi and the Netherworld Prince had thought. Fang Yi hoped that the Netherworld Prince could swiftly defeat him and join hands with the latter to deal with Cai Xiao. Mu Chen was also waiting, waiting for Cai Xiao to defeat Fang Yi …
As long as one side was defeated first, it would determine the outcome of the battle.
As time flowed in the intense battle, the gazes of the four of them flickered. That's because they could sense that the outcome of this battle was about to start.
The gazes of Cai Xiao and the Netherworld Prince practically turned sharp at the same time. The aura around them had also changed.
Sensing the change in their aura, Mu Chen and Fang Yi narrowed their eyes as their bodies tensed up.
"They're going to decide the outcome!" The faces of Su Biyue and Hong Yu changed as their expressions turned a little nervous.
The two battles were actually going to decide the outcome at the same time!
