"Hmm?" Du Xiaotian's eyebrows involuntarily creased together when he saw Yun Lintian disappear into the void.
He had clearly locked the entire space with the formation Mo Tian had left behind. It was absolutely impossible for Yun Lintian to execute the Shadow Step or travel through space like he used to do.
All of a sudden, Yun Lintian reappeared behind Du Xiaotian like a ghost and thrust the Heaven Piercing Sword toward the latter's back.
Du Xiaotian reacted quickly, sending a powerful kick to greet Yun Lintian's attack.
However, the moment his kick came out, Yun Lintian had already disappeared from the place and reappeared before him.
Boom!
A beam of golden light burst out, exploding against Du Xiaotian's timely protective barrier.
When Du Xiaotian was about to launch a counterattack, Yun Lintian had already vanished once again.
Yun Lintian kept leaving behind afterimages as he seemingly could shutter through the void at will.
As Yun Lintian seemed to flit in and out of the shadows at an extreme speed, Du Xiaotian's Divine Sense and body, which stood at the pinnacle of the Azure World, were completely unable to lock onto or follow Yun Lintian's figure and energy.
Meanwhile, one horrible wound after the other continued to appear on Du Xiaotian's body.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Du Xiaotian wildly writhed in the air as he let out a furious roar. Countless black lights were instantly shot out of his body, exploding in all directions.
However, Yun Lintian didn't seem to be affected by it. He simply avoided the destructive power from Du Xiaotian in the void and came out after the explosion subsided.
Yun Lintian's figure suddenly appeared underneath Du Xiaotian. The Heaven Piercing Sword in his hand glowed in purple light, filling the entire space with purple thunder sparks.
In that instant, purple-colored lightning started howling down from the heavens like a million enraged dragons.
Crackle!
As the sound of thunder shook the world, the countless beings who lived on the Central Continent felt as if their very souls were being split in half.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...
Thousands of thunderbolts wildly exploded into Du Xiaotian's body, the violent arcs of electricity dyeing his body in the shocking color of blood.
The innumerable thunderclaps swallowed up his cries of misery as his body was smashed to the ground.
The deep green light flashed across Yun Lintian's eyes. After that, a peerlessly dreadful storm started violently swirling around Du Xiaotian, who had just been thrown to the ground. As Yun Lintian's arm fell, it caused Du Xiaotian to smash into the ground once again.
Boom—
Hundreds of geysers of blood fountained into the air at the same time, instantly causing the land to be dyed in black blood.
Yun Lintian raised his arm again. When it fell, the storm that erupted from it swirled violently around Du Xiaotian's tattered body and lifted it up before sending it hurtling to the ground once more.
Boom—
Booom—
BOOM!
The entire Central Continent shook again and again. The heavens and earth seemed to be collapsing as Du Xiaotian was violently slammed against the ground repeatedly until all his bones broke.
He could not escape or struggle, and even his screams of pain and roars of anger were completely and mercilessly drowned out by the sound of the storm and the sound of his body slamming into the ground.
BOOOM—
A huge long crack opened up in the ground and almost seemed as if the entire pocket space was about to split in two.
Du Xiaotian's bloodied body was sent hurtling high into the air. The storm finally dissipated, and just when Du Xiaotian believed that Yun Lintian had run out of energy and his nightmare had ended, Yun Lintian's eyes suddenly blazed with a greenish scarlet light as the images of a Divine Phoenix and a Vermilion Bird appeared behind him.
Cries of Phoenix and Vermilion Bird shook the air along with everyone's soul as the skies instantly turned a blazing scarlet and green color, the color of intense flames.
Yun Lintian soared and positioned right above Du Xiaotian, whose body had been flipped over. His entire body started blazing with the two colored flames.
After that, he pointed the Heaven Piercing Sword at Du Xiaotian, and a scarlet and green sea of scorching flames exploded out, engulfing Du Xiaotian's entire being.
"Arghhhh!"
Du Xiaotian's miserable cries echoed throughout the space. Anyone who heard it would feel as if a demon was howling in despair.
Yun Lintian continued to swing the sword one after the other, sending the raging flames toward Du Xiaotian without mercy.
The combination of the blazing and gentle yet powerful flames pierced into Du Xiaotian's body. His skin, blood, and flesh were being mercilessly burned away until only the broken bones remained.
"Rending heaven!"
A golden pillar abruptly shot out of the Heaven Piercing Sword, illuminating the original dark space before cleaving down upon Du Xiaotian's bones.
The wall of golden brilliance plummeted and blasted everything below into smithereens.
Du Xiaotian couldn't be deader than this…
"Cough!" Yun Lintian fell from the air and landed heavily on the ground with a violent cough. Blood spurted out from his mouth continuously, and the hole in his chest bled even more terrifying.
As the golden brilliance faded, the surrounding darkness began to creep in, turning everything into a dark world again.
Inside the Land of Beyond Heaven, Madam Leisure looked at the scene with her mouth parted gently. She then let out a sigh. "As expected from the Beyond Heaven King. His successor is by no means weaker than him... If those people know about this, I'm afraid they will do everything to erase him the moment he steps into the Divine Realm."
Hongyue looked at the weak Yun Lintian and said. "He has overcome his limit once again… However, this is still far from ending."
As Hongyue spoke, a few figures emerged from the darkness. These people were none other than Yin Weizhe, Jue Kong, Ming Xun, and their subordinates.
"What a brilliant battle!" Jue Kong couldn't help saying this as he looked at Yun Lintian. He had witnessed everything from the beginning to the end. It could be said avoiding Yun Lintian was the best decision he had made.
Yin Weizhe didn't say anything. He raised his hand, and his aura immediately enveloped Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian gritted his teeth, struggling to get rid of Yin Weizhe's grasp, but his current condition wasn't allowed.
"You still fall into my hand in the end."
