Chapter 1364: Chapter 1364: Destruction Sword Beam
The Eight-Armed Demon Gods despised the human appearance; they only admired powerful bloodlines.
The moment the kilometer-long massive sword radiance appeared, even the two Dragon Knights on the main ceremonial platform couldnât help but change their expressions. Their bodies instinctively flinched.
And just at this moment, a towering figure strode onto the main platform once more, passing right in front of them.
The Eight-Armed Demon God King had returned!
Coming back neither too early nor too late, right at the most critical point of the battleâwho would believe this wasnât premeditated?
Dawn Dragon Knight Zhong Zhichang and Holy Light Dragon Knight Huang Liangwei both had solemn expressions upon seeing this.
Though Bai Xiuxiuâs strength and talent couldnât compare to Lan Xuanyuâs, as a high-level Dragon Clan entity with dual attributes and Lanâs mount dragon, her status and significance were equally paramount. If Bai Xiuxiu were to perish in battle, it might mean that Lan Xuanyu could never ascend to become a Dragon Knight, let alone an heir. Perhaps, that would let the Eight-Armed Demon God Clan succeed in their schemes.
Huang Liangwei instinctively glanced at Dawn Dragon Knight Zhong Zhichang, only to see him lightly shake his head.
Under the watchful eyes of all present, including the leader of the Sky Horse Clan and the Eight-Armed Demon God King, even if they wanted to intervene, it would be wholly impossible. Since this was Lan Xuanyuâs choice, âsheâ would have to bear the consequences.
When the God-Demon Transformation manifested, Lan Xuanyuâs eyes narrowed. He had the Golden Dragon Body, while Bai Xiuxiu had Abyss Swallowing. Both were powers that mirrored their opponentâs abilities. However, the destructive energy contained within the opponentâs God-Demon Transformation was fundamentally different. It annihilated all surrounding energy, converting it into nutrients for his destructive power, which was then unleashed in his subsequent attack. In other words, this strike would never end until its full force was exerted. Otherwise, his own body wouldnât be able to endure such a massive amount of energy.
A resolute gleam flashed across Lan Xuanyuâs eyes. In the next instant, a startling scene unfolded before everyoneâs eyes.
A brilliant silver light suddenly exploded from Lan Xuanyuâs body. At that moment, the spectators witnessed the Golden Dragon Princess transform into the Silver Dragon Princess in the blink of an eye. Radiant silver light extended from âherâ figure, enveloping Bai Xiuxiuâs form beneath her. Immediately after, Bai Xiuxiuâs massive Abyss Ice Demon Dragon body abruptly vanished.
Vanished, just like thatâaccomplishing teleportation within an environment suffused with destructive power.
The Eight-Armed Demon Crown Princeâs gaze froze in shock. Teleported away? Despite the surrounding space being ravaged by his destructive power, she managed to complete the teleportation?
For an instant, doubt crept into his heart. Just as Lan Xuanyu had anticipated, the immense destructive energy absorbed during the God-Demon Transformation stretched his bodyâs tolerance to its limit. It had to be released outward imminently, making the attack inevitable.
But now, he faced a momentary dilemma: should he pursue the already teleported Bai Xiuxiu, who was likely behind him, or should he attack Lan Xuanyu, who remained before him?
If Lan Xuanyu had chosen to teleport away with Bai Xiuxiu, the attackâs trajectory, guided by his energyâs pull, would have inevitably shifted toward their teleportation destination. Yet Lan Xuanyu didnât teleport away but stayed in place.
This fleeting hesitation caused a painful, explosive sensation in the Eight-Armed Demon Crown Princeâs chest. It was the consequence of failing to release the destructive energy in time. In agony, he immediately awoke from his momentary indecisionâthere could be no hesitation, the attack must be unleashed at once.
A fierce glint emanated from his eyes as he chose not to redirect his aim. Ultimately, his target remained Lan Xuanyu. He had to vanquish his strongest foe first. He believed that with the Golden Dragon Princessâs formidable physique, even if critically injured, she would survive; she wouldnât perish at his hands.
The Destruction Sword clashed forward with overwhelming might in the blink of an eye, aimed straight at Lan Xuanyu!
A kilometer-long purple-gold sword radiance erupted, surpassing the terror of ordinary God Rank power. In that instant, the aura enveloped all spectators, drawing their gazes irresistibly toward the swordâs striking trajectory.
But just as the sword was about to descend, an astonishing observation rippled through the audienceâa sudden pause in the Eight-Armed Demon Crown Princeâs movements.
Without explanation, he froze, precisely in the instant before the devastating sword light could fall.
It was then that everyone noticedâfor the first timeâthe blood-soaked girl standing defiantly before the Eight-Armed Demon Crown Prince. Her pale, resolute face bore eyes that had somehow turned into a dazzling violet.
Spiritual Domain: Time Stop!
This was Lan Xuanyuâs sole Spiritual Domain, inherited from his father. It was a time-related Spiritual Domain.
Tang Wulinâs Golden Dragon Moon Song Spiritual Domain enabled Time Inverse Flow, whereas Lan Xuanyuâs manifested Time Stop. Which of these was more effective was hard to determine, as their impacts varied with the context.
Time Inverse Flowâs most terrifying aspect was its ability to ârestore,â whereas Time Stop suspended all external existence.
Though they might seem similar, their nature was entirely distinct.
If Tang Wulin were present with Lan Xuanyuâs current level of strength, Time Inverse Flow might have barely any effect, or possibly not be usable at all. Lan Xuanyuâs current Spiritual Power was insufficient to reverse the trajectory of the Destruction Sword, restoring the sword radiance to its prior position.
However, Time Stop functioned differentlyâit didnât halt the Destruction Sword itself but the one wielding it, the Eight-Armed Demon Crown Prince. With their cultivations and divine consciousness levels relatively close and Lan Xuanyuâs bloodline power surpassing his opponentâs, he succeeded in stopping the crown prince.
Even if it was only for a fraction of a second, it overturned the outcome entirely.
âBang!â The Divine Demon Core in the Eight-Armed Demon Crown Princeâs chest abruptly erupted into a large violet-black glow. His massive God Demon Form began to fissure.
The immense destructive energy accumulated within him, compounded by his hesitation when Lan Xuanyu teleported Bai Xiuxiu away, had surged unchecked, pushing his bodyâand his unrefined God Demon Formâpast its limits. This was not a body tempered by quenching but an unstable manifestation. The ensuing Time Stop exacerbated the situationâa momentary pause in his actions against the backdrop of an energy ready to explode.
As soon as the pause ended, the overwhelming destructive energy erupted uncontrollably within him.
But it wasnât over yet. An icy aura swept over him, just as the destructive energy began to explode outward. The Eight-Armed Demon Crown Princeâs body froze inexplicably once more.
From afar, the Abyss Ice Demon Dragon teleported behind him along with the boundless abyss that appeared in its wake. Hidden within the abyss, the massive dragon stared coldly at his God Demon Formâs towering figure with deep, chilling eyes. Immediately, his God Demon Form stagnated; even the air grew still. This was the Deep Blue Stare within Heavenly Demon Swallowing.
Deep Blue Stare followed Time Stop, delivering two moments of stillness to the Eight-Armed Demon Crown Prince.
Ordinarily, these wouldnât amount to muchânot even enough to grant Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu ample time to retaliate. However, in the midst of executing the Destruction Sword radiance, they proved fatal.
The precariously unstable purple-gold radiance of the massive sword flickered wildly, while violent purple-black destructive energy erupted from his Divine Demon Core. Crackling and shattering sounds rang from his God Demon Form as its structure crumbled under the force of its own rampaging energy.
Still, the Eight-Armed Demon Crown Prince was a formidable adversary. Even under these circumstances, he persisted, finishing his attack.
