This time, Zhan Luan had not only used his physical strength, he also used the Dark Force.
He was prepared to defeat Su Mo, crushing him with the force of destruction.
The earth shattered with just a punch. The powerful first radiance destroyed everything. It fell from the sky with an enormous pressure and attacked Su Mo.
Zhan Luan's aura was astonishing. It was strong and domineering.
The force of the fist filled the earth, seemingly as if it could crush time and space. The moment the fist radiance emerged, the space within a thousand-mile radius collapsed immediately. The water in the Jade Cloud Lake was forced to flood the area around it, exposing the bottom of the lake before the fist even hit it.
Su Mo who was standing below felt the enormous pressure. His expression turned grave. Zhan Luan was indeed the first on the List of 10,000 Talents. This punch alone was stronger than Long Teng's.
However, Su Mo was not afraid. He lifted the Billion Demonic Sword up high with his hands; the sword ray raised several thousand feet high. Then, he cut down forcefully.
"Slice!"
The void was instantly split apart as if it were a roll of fabric. The bright sword Qi switched directions and rose up, surging forward.
The next moment.
The fist radiance and sword Qi collided viciously, emitting an earth-shattering crack.
Boom!
It was an explosion that seemed as if it would destroy the world. A surge of air blast swept through the earth.
More than half of the water in the Jade Cloud Lake evaporated.
Su Mo's body shook and sank a thousand feet, falling to the bottom of the empty lake.
Although this blow had put him at a disadvantage, he seemed not to have suffered any damage.
"Good! You do have the right to be prideful!" Zhan Luan stood in the air proudly, his expression turning grave.
Su Mo's strength had impressed Zhan Luan. None of the other talents in the List of 10,000 Talents would be able to withstand the blow.
Su Mo's cultivation was in the Martial King Realm, but he was able to withstand it. As such, Zhan Luan was impressed and shocked by him.
Of course, while Zhan Luan was impressed by Su Mo's strength, he was still confident that he would win. He had only revealed a fraction of his abilities.
Swish!
Su Mo's figure flickered and he flew up into the sky, stopping in front of Zhan Luan.
"Zhan Luan! Show me your full strength or this battle will end really quickly!" Su Mo said indifferently, his expression calm and quiet.
"As you wish!"
Zhan Luan yelled out loud, and a tall figure appeared outside his body merging into his figure the moment it appeared.
Then, a clicking sound came from Zhan Luan's body. His body expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye and he grew larger and more muscular.
Moments later, Zhan Luan's body stopped expanding. He had already grown to a size reminiscent to an ancient giant. He was about two meters tall, and his hands were the size of walls.
Furthermore, Zhan Luan's body turned purple throughout, looking demonic.
Zhan Luan emitted a strong sense of oppression and the strength in his body was extremely powerful.
Su Mo paused for a moment when he saw that. His was slightly more sensitive to the power of souls since he had the Devouring Martial Soul.
As such, he could sense that the figure that appeared outside Zhan Luan's body was a Martial Soul.
However, this Martial Soul was rather interesting for it could change shapes.
And this time, the many people watching the war exclaimed loudly when they saw Zhan Luan's change.
"What kind of martial arts technique is this? How terrifying!"
"Is this the Martial Soul power?"
"This is the power of the Martial Soul. I once heard that Zhan Luan's Martial Soul was that of a giant. However, no one has ever seen it before. I didn't expect it to be true!"
Several people discussed the matter excitedly as they looked at Zhan Luan who had turned into a giant. They were all astonished.
However, Su Mo was not one to be underestimated. His strength was terrifying as well for he had not lost after exchanging two blows with Zhan Luan.
Some of the top 10,000 supreme talents such as Mu Bingxue, Linghu Xingchen, Tai Yi and the others, looked at Zhan Luan and Su Mo who were hovering in the air and sighed to themselves.
The strength of the two was already far beyond them.
The killing desire the Netherworld Devil Sect had for Su Mo grew even stronger. The stronger he was, the larger the threat he was to them.
In the sky above, the Dark Force in Zhan Luan's body, who had turned into one of a giant, started to boil. The power of his cultivation started to change as well.
Buzz Buzz Buzz...
The Dark Force in his palm surged forward, and his Qi Force gathered into a battleaxe within seconds.
The battleaxe was made up of his Dark Force and Qi Force. Its blade was a hundred feet wide, and it was large beyond compare.
"Su Mo, receive my Heaven Splitting Axe!"
Zhan Luan's voice had turned hoarse. He bellowed and stepped forward, traveling several dozen miles in the blink of an eye.
Swish!
The enormous battleaxe sliced through the air, headed for Su Mo's head.
This scene was shocking. From a distance, it looked as if an ancient giant was waving a battleaxe in an attempt to kill an insignificant human being.
The strength of this axe was incomparable. The vastness of its force was heavy and indescribable.
"Rumble!"
The void exploded unceasingly, the axe fell heavily and quickly. The unparalleled edge of the blade the fluctuations of the mighty power had not even reached the lake before it was split into two. The earth shattered following that, and a bottomless abyss that was a hundred mile long appeared.
Su Mo's eyes were solemn as his body changed slightly. A golden light glowed around him and he turned into a Dragonesque Elephant. A scale armor covered his body, his hands grew large and long sharp nails emerged from them.
Plumes of strength wandered through his flesh and blood; the violent Dark Force caused the Billion Demonic Sword to hum and vibrate.
Swish!
The Billion Demonic Sword turned into a hundred-foot sword in the blink of an eye, cutting through the wind and attacking the huge axe.
In the next instance, the huge axe and the Demonic Sword collided viciously.
Boom!
A loud crack resonated between heaven and earth. The huge axe was shattered, turning into a large mighty air blast that swept through the earth.
The huge axe was not able to withstand the blows of the Billion Demonic Sword since it was not a tangible weapon.
However, Su Mo's move did not succeed. The large amount of power he had expended on the Billion Demonic Sword had made him huff, and he was knocked back several hundred miles before stopping.
"How powerful!" Su Mo's arm kept shaking. The scale armor on his arm had cracked and traces of blood flowed through it. His body was nearly overwhelmed by the powerful impact.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Zhan Luan walked towards Su Mo once more. He stepped in the void, and a loud explosion would occur with every step he took. The void beneath his feet exploded endlessly.
Every step Zhan Luan took seemed as if he was stepping on the hearts of those present, making the spectators tremble.
At this moment, Zhan Luan was incredibly powerful, as if he were an indomitabledeity.
Zhan Luan's hands glowed and an even larger battleaxe formed in his hands rapidly.
Su Mo's eyes glittered when he saw this. He lashed out without waiting for Zhan Luan to attack.
With that, the nine Natal Spiritual Swords suddenly appeared and turned into nine rays of light. They spread out in a fan-shaped formation and shot towards Zhan Luan.
