The coliseum was made from special minerals and was even engraved with powerful Rune Formation. Shen Yu was sure that even if Tier 9 Spiritual Creatures fought here, they wouldn't be able to damage the surface, let alone destroy it.
That was why, even though the loud explosion shook the coliseum from it's shockwave, it was still the same as before with no scratches.
But the dust was a different thing and it filled the whole Coliseum. A thick pillar of black smoke rose in the sky, towering even the enormous Coliseum.
The shockwave had not only shaken the coliseum but even those watching the battle. Fortunately, there were Rune Formation protecting the audience so nobody suffered when the rubbles were thrown around.
Snake slowly stood up, his whole body trembling. He tried to step forward but staggered. His face was very pale as if someone has sucked blood out of him.
He coughed up even more blood and dropped on his knees. He wiped the corner of his mouth and cursed, 'Goddamnit! The attack came too quickly.'
Even though he had cut his connection with the maze, which saved his Nascent Soul from suffering any injuries, his body was different. He couldn't escape in time and was caught in the explosion.
After all, even if he had ran to the end of stage, the explosion would have still affected him. He was only thankful for his quick reaction speed which allowed him to sustain less injuries.
He took heavy breaths, and looked at the sight before him. The smoke was clearing up and he could see the results of the explosion.
The whole maze, which was his triumph card, was destroyed to dust. He had relied on this technique to rise through the ranks and his heart ached when he saw the destruction of it.
Most of the maze had turned into dust as if a massive force has pressured them. The ground was blackened which showed the sheer power of the destruction.
However, it was worth it.
A smile formed on Snake's face. He sensed no movements from the remaining rubbles and concluded that Song Junwan failed in surviving her own technique.
But it was given that she would suffer from such a devastating technique. Snake could still feel the surroundings filled with leftover lightning element.
'That power... I'm sure even Tier 6 Spritual Creature would perish in that.'
Snake was truly left in awe. He couldn't comprehend how someone so young could come up with something of this level. However, he soon thought that the technique was probably from Shen Yu.
Snake sighed and began to walk forward, despite feeling weakness all over his body. He was sure of his victory but he needed to make sure Song Junwan was defeated, if she had somehow survived.
He couldn't take any risks.
His body was sending electric shocks with every step he took. Clearly, the effects of Sphere of lightning were still there. The explosion alone wasn't the reason for his current state.
His body staggered and wobbled but he continued to walk forward. His mind was also not working properly, otherwise he would have realised that nobody had announced his win and nobody interfered.
'This cunning bitch!'
However, there was something which put his heart at ease. He looked down at Song Junwan and sighed.
"Even if you have someone captured me, there is nothing you can do. We both are spent and can't even move our body properly. How would you deal with me?"
In truth, though, he was already on guard and was on lookout for even small details. He didn't believe Song Junwan made this plan without thinking things through.
'Wait! The lightning elements...'
As if confirming his thoughts, Song Junwan spoke.
"I was just wasting my time for this very purpose. Do you truly think I launched my Sphere of Devastation without thinking outcome? Look around you and sense the lightning element."
Snake's first reaction was to try to do one last struggle but he knew it was futile so he sighed and resigned himself to fate.
He already understood Song Junwan's schemes and knew there was no way out for him. She had purposely used the Sphere of Devastation to not only destroy the maze and weaken him, but also fill the surroundings with lightning element.
Even if her body had suffered serious inquires, her Nascent Soul was mostly fine and she would be able to use her Nascent Soul to force her will on the world.
And using that authority, she would be able to use the lightning element very easily and just with thoughts. However, there was still limits to how a Nascent Soul Realm could handle so she had to waited until he was close and in her clutches.
"You're a bitch!"
Snake spat, knowing his end was just a few seconds away. And as he expected, lightning entered his body from Song Junwan's hands and began to wreck havoc.
In no time, he was burnt inside out and his organs were also destroyed. His body dropped on the ground, lifeless.
Song Junwan saw his dead and couldn't fight the weakness anymore. Her eyes rolled upwards as he unconscious slipped in an eternal sleep.
However, a warm hand wrapped around his consciousness and brought it back from the eternal confines of death. A smile adorned on her face, feeling the familiar warmth.
She had won and killed the man who had ruled the shadows of Qing Empire for decades all alone.
Shen Yu looked at the beauty in his hands and smiled. He had already healed her body and soul, so he wasn't worried about her. The only thing she had now was exhaustion so she would be fine after some rest.
He announced.
"The battle is over!"
