Chapter 2129 God's Domain (1)
A guttural roar erupted from Xi Hong as he stumbled back, clutching at the wound. Smoke and sparks danced around the opening, revealing the faint crimson glow of his True God essence simmering beneath the armor.
The earth itself seemed to tremble in protest at its champion's injury. Cracks snaked across the battlefield, widening with each passing second. The surrounding buildings, unable to withstand the immense power unleashed by the True Gods, began to crumble.
Seizing the opportunity, Li Shan pressed his attack. Bolts of lightning arced from his fingertips, forming a crackling net around Xi Hong.
Xi Hong roared in defiance, raising his fist towards the sky.
"Try this!" he bellowed, his voice resonating with the power of a thousand earthquakes.
BOOOM!!
As Xi Hong's fist slammed into the sky, the ground beneath them split open. A massive column of earth, imbued with his raw power, erupted from the fissure, threatening to engulf Li Shan.
The battlefield held its breath. Li Shan, a beacon of silver lightning amidst the churning earth, stood resolute against the rising pillar.
The air crackled with raw power, the ozone smell almost suffocating.
Across the fray, the other battles stalled. Xiao Shou and Bei Cong locked eyes, the promise of renewed conflict hanging heavy.
Lan Qinghe and Hua Rong, their attack temporarily thwarted, watched with apprehension as the earth threatened to consume their unlikely ally.
The ground rumbled, the tremor shaking the very foundation of the collapsing tomb. The column of earth, colossal and unstoppable, seemed to dwarf even Xi Hong's massive form.
In that heart-stopping moment, Li Shan raised the Storm Spear high. The silver metal, charged with the fury of a thousand storms, pulsed with an otherworldly light. With a battle cry that echoed through the cracking earth, he unleashed his technique – Storm's Fury.
Rumble—
A colossal bolt of lightning, thicker and brighter than any seen before, erupted from the tip of the spear. It tore through the air, leaving a trail of scorched ozone in its wake.
The ground rumbled in protest as the storm's power coursed through it, momentarily halting the rising earth pillar.
BOOOM—
The clash was deafening. The sky, previously a clear canvas for the impending twilight, ignited in a maelstrom of light. The storm's fury met the earth's wrath in a display of raw power that threatened to tear the fabric of reality itself.
Bang!
The black energy sword slammed into the barrier, exploding into nothingness. While it failed to harm Sheng Qianyu, it provided Hua Rong with a window to react.
Seizing the moment, Hua Rong slammed her palm towards Sheng Qianyu's chest.
BOOM!
The barrier shattered from the impact, sending Sheng Qianyu flying through the air.
Yun Huanxin didn't waste this opportunity. With a flick of her wrist, several spatial rifts materialized around Sheng Qianyu. Countless black energy swords erupted from the rifts, raining down upon her.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Ahhh!" Sheng Qianyu screamed in pain as several energy swords pierced her body.
Hearing her cry, Bei Cong, who had just regained his footing, glanced at Yun Huanxin. A dark light flickered in his eyes as a pair of black hands emerged from the ground beneath her.
However, Yun Meilan reacted swiftly. She grabbed Yun Huanxin and transformed into a shadow, retreating in a flash.
Bei Cong's eyes flickered with surprise. "Shadow God technique?"
Without time to dwell on it further, Xiao Shou appeared before him, the glowing white spear clutched in his hand.
"Hmph!" Bei Cong snorted coldly, swinging his black sword towards Xiao Shou.
BANG!
The impact forced them both to back away, bringing a temporary pause to their battle.
Rumble—
Suddenly, the ground began to tremble violently, the tremors escalating.
Everyone subconsciously turned to look at Xi Hong and Li Shan in the far distance...
