Chapter 736: Black Rhino Law Body
"Demon-Scorching Slash!"
As that low shout echoed through Lin Langtian's heart, pitch-black, searing demonic patterns suddenly surfaced along the blade of the Flame Plume Phoenix Sword.
Those glowing marks spread across the sword like demonic spots, making it appear eerily sinister.
Yet in that sinister, almost cursed form, an indescribable torrent of demonic flame erupted from the sword, making it seem like a slumbering demon god on the verge of awakening.
The Flame Plume Phoenix Sword had originally been formed from Aunt Ling's plumes. Though it could no longer keep up with the tempo of the Great Thousand World, its foundation still remained.
Now, bolstered by the flame demonic talisman reforged by plane power, its might surged layer upon layer. Such ferocity was something even ordinary divine artifacts could scarcely rival.
Boom!
The Flame Plume Phoenix Sword, wreathed in towering demonic fire, hacked downward and twisted the very space around it.
The air exploded in every direction, and in a spectacular clash, the sword met the howling giant axe head-on.
Thud!
Their collision rang out in a low, eardrum-piercing boom.
A terrifying wave of spiritual force crashed out like a ten-thousand-meter tidal wave, raging in all directions.
Rumble…
The violent shockwave roared on and on like unending thunder.
In that moment, every gaze locked onto the center of the raging storm.
There, a tall figure in green robes stood straight as a spear, his demonic flame sword in hand, his expression solemn.
The next instant, Lin Langtian's foot slammed down hard, shattering dozens of meters of the golden platform beneath him.
"Break!"
Veins bulged like coiled dragons across both his arms as demonic flames surged along the blade of the Flame Plume Phoenix Sword.
Crack!
A shrill tearing sound rang out as the layer of spiritual light wrapped around the giant axe split open with countless fine cracks.
The fractures spread rapidly until, with a sharp report, the light layer shattered outright, revealing the Calamity Axe beneath.
A muffled grunt sounded from above.
Under the crushing force of the spiritual storm, Dong Kui, still gripping the axe, staggered and turned slightly pale.
Swoosh!
Lin Langtian's expression remained icy as space twisted around him and his figure vanished.
When he reappeared, he was already high above Dong Kui, his blazing sword cleaving down with a wave of demonic fire.
Bang!
The Flame Plume Phoenix Sword struck home, and Lin Langtian's eyes suddenly narrowed.
A violent backlash erupted, scattering the demonic flames. As countless gazes turned toward the light, pupils shrank sharply.
There, at the heart of the spiritual glow, stood a colossal phantom hundreds of meters tall.
The phantom was pitch-black and radiated heavy killing intent. Jagged, horn-like protrusions jutted from its massive body, making it look like an enormous rhino.
Wave after wave of terrifying spiritual power poured from the giant apparition, warping the very space around it.
At that moment, the phantom's vast hand—brimming with horrifying power—had caught the descending Flame Plume Phoenix Sword in its grip.
This pitch-black giant was Dong Kui's Sovereign Law Body.
"This Sovereign Law Body…"
Lin Langtian stared up at the rhino-like form and felt an exceptionally powerful spiritual aura from it.
His eyes flickered as he murmured, "So it's the Black Rhino Law Body, ranked ninety-eighth."
Although the Black Rhino Law Body was only ninety-eighth on the list, being on it at all meant it was far stronger than ordinary Sovereign Law Bodies.
"To force me to use the Black Rhino Law Body… you truly have some skill."
In his Black Rhino form, Dong Kui's blood-red eyes stared down at Lin Langtian, his cold voice booming like thunder.
A thread of fury laced his tone.
He had originally believed that with his Third Grade Sovereign cultivation he could crush Lin Langtian outright.
Yet after trading blows, he had been shocked to realize he could not gain the slightest advantage. Instead, he had been somewhat suppressed by that bizarre, demonic flame sword.
How could he possibly tolerate that?
The entire Universe Sect was watching. If he lost to Lin Langtian here, the prestige of the foremost of the five great Commanders would be utterly destroyed.
No matter what, he had to erase Lin Langtian from existence.
A thick killing intent flashed in the blood-red eyes of the Black Rhino Law Body. Its massive palm slammed down on the Flame Plume Phoenix Sword, an explosion of terrifying spiritual power blasting the weapon away.
Lin Langtian's figure shot backward. Once he reached a safe distance, he steadied himself and fixed his indifferent gaze on the towering Black Rhino Law Body.
"Torrent Pierce!"
Murder boiling in his heart, Dong Kui clenched his hand into a fist. Vast spiritual power gathered like a waterfall and then drove straight at Lin Langtian.
Boom!
The force of the punch howled like a spiritual storm, shaking even the sky. Far off, Lin Langtian's body rocked as if struggling to remain steady.
This Black Rhino Law Body's destructive power was truly formidable.
Boom!
Lin Langtian stomped down, unleashing a brilliant flare of demonic thunder.
His entire body shone with dark, silvery light, as if he were a demonic thunder god descended. He punched forward, rolling thunder surging forth like a legion of demonic thunder serpents that shredded the incoming spiritual storm to pieces.
"Torrent Crash!"
Dong Kui only sneered. Countless streams of spiritual light burst from his body like a stampede of rhinos, bearing down on Lin Langtian from every direction.
The charging spiritual rhinos shrieked in a piercing cacophony, their sonic waves rattling minds and making it feel as though skulls were about to explode.
Lin Langtian frowned and tapped a foot, his body flickering backward as thunder boomed in his ears, resisting the screeching sound waves. Then both his fists lashed out.
Boom! Boom!
A storm of thunderous fist imprints surged out and collided with the rhino shadows in midair.
Thunder rolled across the sky like a barrage of firecrackers as Lin Langtian's figure was forced steadily backward.
For the moment, he was clearly at a disadvantage.
Back at Silver Mist Palace's platform, Mu Honglian watched with her heart in her throat, her pretty face tight with worry.
"Look at you now—like a stray dog. Where's that arrogance from before?"
Dong Kui's laugh was cold as his attacks grew ever more ferocious. His killing intent peaked as he glared at the retreating Lin Langtian.
In the next instant, his hands flashed through a strange sequence of seals.
"Did you really think you could just run forever?"
"Falling Star Spear—emerge!"
Boom!
Heaven and earth's spiritual power suddenly roiled. A torrent of force surged into the Black Rhino Law Body's hands, condensing faintly into a massive, razor-sharp black spear.
Lin Langtian halted his retreat as his eyes settled on the spear in the rhino's grip, his brows knitting. He clearly sensed something unusual in its aura.
Dong Kui was finally unleashing a true killing blow.
High above, Dong Kui's cold laughter echoed as killing intent flooded forth.
His hand seals shifted again, and the black spear quivered violently, spiritual light flaring. A single strike would be enough to spell Lin Langtian's certain death.
"Falling Star Spear—thrust!"
Boom!
The enormous, razor-edged Falling Star Spear tore forth at last. In the instant it flew, it seemed to unleash boundless force as its murderous aura filled the world.
Space shattered around its tip, jagged cracks branching out like spiderwebs.
Countless eyes shot toward the scene at the same time.
Mu Honglian's face turned pale, her delicate body trembling. The Silver Mist Guard stood ashen-faced and despondent.
Even Jiang Yinlan's usually icy expression showed a flicker of worry. Her white teeth bit into her red lip, and her tightly clenched hands betrayed how tense she was.
Just as the Falling Star Spear seemed poised to pierce the heavens, a burst of demonic light suddenly erupted from the battlefield.
Where the demonic radiance passed, the raging spiritual storm evaporated in an instant. Within a few breaths, the turbulence that had engulfed heaven and earth vanished without a trace.
Dong Kui's face changed dramatically. He jerked his head up.
All across the sky, experts felt the disturbance and turned in unison to stare at the Universe Gold Platform, their pupils contracting sharply.
A gargantuan figure of light now stood there in silence. Flames, lightning, ice, and other elemental powers flickered around its body—eight distinct attributes in total.
A terrifying spiritual presence laced with an oppressive, evil pressure spread through the air.
High above, the three Elders, who had been watching the fight all along, stiffened, their eyes locking onto the vision.
In their gazes, shock surged like a rising tide…
