“Nonsense! How could a single life form split up their body and consciousness to fight at the same time?!” the Ancient Fiendcelestial roared with rage.
He had seen living beings who had cultivated their bodies to the extreme, like some powerful beings in the Holy Martial Clan, and he had also seen some living beings who had cultivated their consciousness to the extreme, like some Void Spirit Tribe powerful beings, but never had he ever seen or heard of anyone who had cultivated both their body and consciousness to the extreme, thereby allowing them to fight as two separate entities!
An Lin clasped his hands behind his back. “A frog in a well thinks it has seen the entire heavens.”
Divine sense An Lin continued, “Little does it know that the heavens are far more vast than its ignorant eyes could reach.”
The Ancient Fiendcelestial instantly exploded.
He was an almighty fiendcelestial, but he was being looked down on like this by a Return to Void Stage cultivator?
“I’ll kill you!”
The Ancient Fiendcelestial’s injuries quickly squirmed before healing.
At the same time, his entire body transformed from an inky black to a crimson color, and a crimson seal appeared on his forehead.
“Sword, come!”
An inky-black sword even bigger than himself flew through the air and landed in his hand. The Ancient Fiendcelestial’s aura instantly transformed to become extremely powerful and bloodthirsty, and he rose into the sky once again before rushing toward An Lin.
“You want to play with swords?” An Lin drew his Evil-Slaying Sword, and he charged toward the Ancient Fiendcelestial in his Fire Sage Mode while wielding his Evil-Slaying Sword.
“Evil Sword Technique, Royal Divine Monarch!”
Devastating black sword intent surged through the air for several dozen kilometers before falling from the sky.
The Ancient Fiendcelestial let loose an enraged roar, and he slashed his massive, blunt sword upward to meet the boundless black sword projection crashing down upon him.
Bam!
The black sword projection and the crimson sword projection clashed.
One was imbued with paramount sword dao true intent while the other was filled with the power of slaughter and bloodlust.
Both of the sword projections clashed and seemed to have fallen into an impasse.
A flash of blue light suddenly skirted around the clashing sword projections at an incredible speed before plunging two golden swords into the Ancient Fiendcelestial’s chest with a cheeky smile on his face.
“Argh!” The Ancient Fiendcelestial could feel his consciousness being torn apart as excruciating pain shot through his entire body.
That blue streak of light was divine sense An Lin!
The Ancient Fiendcelestial’s consciousness sustained severe wounds as a result, and his aura was cast into disarray. The black sword projection finally managed to overwhelm the wavering crimson sword projection before crashing viciously into the Ancient Fiendcelestial’s body.
Bam!
Sword intent surged, tearing through the Ancient Fiendcelestial’s body and sending him crashing into the ground below.
The Ancient Fiendcelestial hadn’t even stood back up for more than a minute before he was crushed into the dirt again.
He struggled to his feet, and the massive sword wound on his chest was once again healing at a rate perceptible to the naked eye.
“To think that I, a Half-Step God of Creation, would be reduced to such a pitiful state by a Return to Void Stage cultivator… What massive humiliation!” The Ancient Fiendcelestial looked up at the two An Lins in the sky, and a viscous, dark green energy suddenly erupted before enshrouding his entire body like a suit of armor.
“I am at a critical juncture of my breakthrough, and I didn’t want to use this power…
“But I can’t help it anymore… I want to kill you right now!”
The Ancient Fiendcelestial’s eyes turned an even darker shade of crimson as he stared up at An Lin.
An Lin felt like his eyes were like vortexes that could engulf and destroy everything within his line of sight. At the same time, there seemed to be an independent world contained within those eyes, a world which he ruled over.
Aside from that, the Ancient Fiendcelestial’s body also shrank slightly, but the explosive energy within his body soared drastically. Most terrifying of all was that dark green energy revolving around his body. That energy struck a sense of unprecedented peril into An Lin’s heart.
“Do you know what this is?” The Ancient Fiendcelestial spread open his hand, upon which a dark green ball appeared in his hand, which he gently hurled at An Lin.
Whoosh!
The dark green ball transformed into a streak of green light, piercing through air, space, and all things before appearing directly before An Lin!
An Lin’s eyelids twitched violently as he immediately unleashed his Evading Turtle Technique and his Xuan Wu Heaven Sealing Shell, creating two shiny, green defensive barriers before him.
The dark green energy came into contact with An Lin’s Evading Turtle armor first.
A burst of insanely pure energy that seemed to have been born from the origin of the Great Dao quickly pulverized his Evading Turtle shell!
An Lin could sense that this energy was on a completely higher level.
Bam!
The dark green energy crashed into his Xuan Wu Heaven Sealing Shell.
This defensive divine tool undoubtedly had extreme defensive properties, but An Lin could hear the sound of the divine tool cracking. It was only a very faint sound, but it was definitely audible.
Immediately afterward, the boundless energy had flowed along the turtle shell and reached his body.
Boom!
An Lin was blasted away by the dark green energy like a rocket, hurtling back for several hundred kilometers.
The Ancient Fiendcelestial slowly hovered into the air as he appraised the slightly dazed divine sense An Lin with a smile. “Do you see now? This is the difference between your power and mine. This is a power that has transcended beyond the world; it is a power that originates directly from the source of all things!”
He splayed open his hand, and another dark green ball appeared on his hand, emanating that same insanely pure energy. “All Gods of Creation will master a special type of power known as essential power.
“My essential power is the demonic essential power…”
As the Ancient Fiendcelestial stared at the energy in his hand, an intoxicated expression appeared on his face. “It is proud and unyielding, filled with battle intent, and will never be snuffed out… What beautiful and perfect energy…”
Divine sense An Lin’s lips twitched, and he shot forth like a bolt of lightning directly toward the Ancient Fiendcelestial, trying to take advantage of his intoxicated daze by plunging a golden soul power sword toward his head.
The Ancient Fiendcelestial didn’t evade, but a dark green barrier suddenly appeared around his head.
The golden sword struck the barrier, and a sharp screeching sound erupted.
Divine sense An Lin’s heart jolted with shock, and in the next instant, the dark green ball in the Ancient Fiendcelestial’s hand had already exploded, transforming into countless tiny flying swords that instantly punctured divine sense An Lin’s body over ten thousand times.
Divine sense An Lin let loose a wail of anguish before crumbling into nothingness.
The Ancient Fiendcelestial appraised the cracked dark green barrier above his head and spoke in an indifferent voice, “Your consciousness is very powerful, even more so than mine, but it’s a pity that you don’t have a powerful enough body to complement it. You’re still too frail in the end…”
The Ancient Fiendcelestial looked at the man in the distance with a mocking expression. “What other tricks do you have up your sleeve? If there is none left, then you can die now.”
