Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On a relatively large isle in the middle of the lush Veleon Islands, a giant light shield of a hundred meters across was glimmering in the air . However, it was invisible to worldly eyes .
Within the shield, thousands of pale arms struggled frantically like a school of frightened sardines . Green rays radiating down the sky broke the wriggling arms into pus that seeped into the ground .
“Go to hell, cluster of a thousand arms!”
Thick clouds of smoke rose and spread in the air following a violent explosion . Following immediately, a large swarm of gigantic pale arms flew out like cobras toward the four persons .
“This is one hell of a fight!” Khadula thundered, his voice sounding not as kiddish as previously . He was ambushed and caged inside a massive light shield, unable to move his body . It had never crossed his mind that Redwin could be capable of pulling off such a feat . His arms were disintegrating . By right, as long as there was still an arm left, Khadula could still regrow his limbs despite the vast distance between him and Lin Sheng . But the range limitation sometimes worked like the Achilles heel to his ability .

“Finish him! He is weakening now!” Maham was draped in glittering green armor, firmly clenching a blackthorn in hand . As he stomped his foot on the ground, jade-green pearls that looked like stars in the sky instantly rose, emanating layers of a gauge-like halo as they spun and circled him .
“Roaring Battlestar!” He clutched the blackthorn with both hands, rays of green light bursting out from behind him and vanishing into the thorn in his hands .
“Go!” In a split second, the blackthorn went off from his hands with an earth-shattering boom .
As soon as Khadula’s pale face emerged from the thick smoke and took shape, the blackthorn hit him at high speed, instantly blowing a massive black hole in his face .
“No!” Khadula howled with his mouth wide open . A sea of pale arms gushed out from his mouth instantaneously, flooding every inch of land inside the light shield . The arms climbed and scraped on the surface like swarms of insects with razor-sharp nails . Their movement was lightning quick, and they were incredibly tough . These arms were entirely different animals than the previous ones .
As Maham was exhausted after using his killer move, he became slower in his reflexes . Unable to dodge in time, the rapidly approaching arms hit him head-on .

“Do you see that? Your ugly face!” Khadula laughed and roared . “Even Heaven has shown bias because of my beauty!” As Khadula laughed frenziedly, a blinding white light suddenly appeared on his brow . While the surroundings turned dark, the white light on Khadula’s forehead grew brighter and brighter .
“Go to hell! Arm of the Grim!”
A gigantic white arm with four fingers spreading open reached out from the glaring white light and grabbed Maham . Despite the slow movement, the sheer level of intimidating energy of the arm could stun its target, preventing the target from escaping . When invisible energy began to bind Maham like a chain, he was frozen in place, watching as the gigantic arm approached .
“No! I will not die here!” His eyes were wide open, bloodshot began to appear in the corner of his eyes because he had overstretched the surrounding tissues . Quickly, pieces of green chain emerged behind him and transformed into a faceless and deformed giant .
“Celestial Spirits!” Maham spread out his arms with difficulty, looking up the sky and roared . As the chain giant behind him murmured and dark electric arcs exploded in a burst, he reached out, meeting the white Arm of the Grim directly . A sparkling dark pearl that gleamed with a rainbow halo appeared on the palm of the giant, clashing with the Arm of the Grim . The air turned still at once, everything inside the light shield became static, as if an enormous pressure was keeping things from moving .
Following immediately, a fulgent light of different colors burst out from the point of collision in a spectacular explosion . Not able to pull away in time, the fire quickly engulfed Maham and Khadula . Shockwave blast the other two persons who maintained the light shield, sending them flying outward and hitting them unconscious .

Maham was thrown into the sea, creating a trench as deep as ten meters and as long as a hundred . Meanwhile, arms continued to flow up and into Khadula’s body, helping him resist the colored flames . But it was futile . The force of the explosion was at least twice that of his strength . The giant face of his crumbled soundlessly, his steely arms disintegrating and vanishing altogether . From ten meters in height, his face quickly collapsed, leaving behind a tiny, partial face floating in the air .
“My face!” Khadula wailed as an excruciating pain that he had never experienced before threw him into insanity again .
“My spotless face… you… you… . unforgivable!” Khadula scrambled to regenerate his face, but the wound just would not heal and close . He was floating in midair, roaring and wailing like hell as colored energy lingered in his wounds, burning his body, making him weaker and weaker . Now, Khadula could no longer maintain himself in the air, his face dropping slowly to the sea and sank to the bottom, splashing up tons of gravel and seawater .
“I—I will eat you alive!” Khadula shrilled, trying to grow some new arms to attack Maham, who was floating not far away . Just when some arms sprung up, it triggered a round of smaller explosions of colored fire, hurting him even more seriously .
Maham was floating in the sea, laughing as he saw the battered Khadula . “Let me end this . ” He raised his mostly charred right arm with difficulty . A finger slowly glowed in green as he pointed toward Khadula .
“Finger Cannon!”
A ray of green light shot out from his finger, hitting Khadula on the forehead . Unfortunately, it barely scratched his skin and made some black smoke . His vastly weaker strength had not only failed, but Maham also spat a mouthful of blood and became even more vulnerable .
This time, Khadula burst into laughter as both of them had exhausted their last bit of energy . But they quietly scrambled to heal themselves, racing against each other to regain their strength .
“Victory is mine!” Maham looked determined . Pieces of translucent jade-green pearls surrounded him as he seemed like he was using dark energy to expedite the healing process . On the other hand, Khadula was silently drawing his strength together to put out the colored flames in his wounds . Considering their current conditions, even the most mediocre Transcendent could now finish them with the snap of a finger .
While the burning colored flames had significantly weakened Khadula’s strength, Maham’s remaining level of dark energy was much less than that of One Winger . The most crucial factor that would decide their fate was who would recover first .
