As he blocked the crystal longsword, Xiao Yan reversed his grip and smashed his fist against the body of the Heavy Xuan Ruler. A surging force blasted out from the ruler, sending Qing Yanjing staggering backward repeatedly. But even as she was forced back by the rebound, she swiftly swept her crystal sword through the air. Instantly, countless blades of sword energy shot forth like streams of light, tearing toward Xiao Yan's position.
That crystal longsword was truly a peerless Spiritual Artifact. Even when driven solely by spiritual energy, the power it unleashed was no weaker than some top-tier divine abilities. If it were to fall into the outside world, even a true Heavenly Sovereign would covet it. Though Qing Yanjing could not yet wield its full potential due to her cultivation level, the power it emitted was still incredibly ferocious.
"Six Harmonies Ruler Dance!" Faced with the storm of sword energy that could shred an ordinary Greater Earth Sovereign into nothingness, Xiao Yan immediately swung the Heavy Xuan Ruler. Shadows of the ruler surged forth like tides, forming a tight net of defense around him. No matter how ferociously the sword blades struck, they failed to penetrate.
Once the final wave of sword blades dissipated, the defensive ruler shadows suddenly switched to an offensive posture. Mimicking the storm of earlier sword energy, they roared toward Qing Yanjing. She instantly raised her sword to defend, but soon realized that she could shatter ten or more ruler shadows with a single swing. Her expression changed.
"Something's wrong! These are decoys!"
"Blazing Ruler Slash!" Before Qing Yanjing could respond, a scorching blade of energy suddenly burst out from within the countless ruler shadows, slashing down like a divine blade cleaving heaven and earth. Just as it was about to strike her, an immense brilliance exploded from her body. A towering figure swiftly condensed in front of her, intercepting the blazing ruler attack.
"A Sovereign Avatar, huh…" Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly. Due to the suppression of the world's laws, he was unable to cultivate a Sovereign Avatar. This often placed him at a disadvantage during battles. But geniuses like Qing Yanjing were different. Not only could they cultivate Sovereign Avatars, but their avatars were likely among the strongest. That difference in means only widened the gap.
The Sovereign Avatar summoned by Qing Yanjing shimmered like crystal, radiating divine light. Everywhere the light touched was illuminated in dazzling brilliance. Moreover, the avatar gave off a peculiar feeling—as if even if the heavens collapsed and the world perished, it would remain untouched.
"Endless Radiant Body…" Xiao Yan stared at the luminous avatar, his expression turning grim. Although he had anticipated that Qing Yanjing's Sovereign Avatar wouldn't be low-ranked, he hadn't expected it to be one of the five original avatars from the ancient era!
The Endless Radiant Body, like the Eternal Undying Body, was one of the five original Sovereign Avatars left behind from ancient times. Though none of them were definitively stronger than the others, their properties differed. The Endless Radiant Body was recognized throughout the Great Thousand World as possessing the greatest defensive power among all avatars. Even a true Heavenly Sovereign might find it difficult to inflict harm on one who had summoned it.
Even Qing Yanjing herself didn't look pleased. The reputation of the Endless Radiant Body was far too illustrious. If word got out, she'd be constantly troubled—even with the heritage of the Ancient Futu Clan behind her. That was why she rarely revealed this trump card. And yet, Xiao Yan had forced her to bring it out today.
"I'd like to see just how strong your Sovereign Avatar's defense really is!" Xiao Yan's hand seals shifted rapidly. Torrents of scorching spiritual energy began converging around him, coalescing into a crimson dragon and an ancient golden crow. The two figures hovered beside him before shooting toward Qing Yanjing.
These two attacks were Xiao Yan's strongest divine abilities—Golden Crow Burning Shadows and Flame Dragon Annihilation Art. Now that his cultivation had reached the peak of Greater Earth Sovereign, their might far surpassed what Lu Heng, a Lesser Earth Sovereign, had demonstrated in the past.
Faced with two overwhelming attacks that could easily devastate an ordinary Greater Earth Sovereign, Qing Yanjing pressed her palms together. The radiant energy around her surged, forming a thick barrier of light before her, blocking the path of the crimson dragon and the golden crow.
Boom! The two scorching energy attacks slammed into the luminous shield, but only caused it to tremble slightly. This made Xiao Yan's eyes narrow. Even though these two strikes were just probes, their power wasn't weak—yet they failed to cause any real damage.
"As expected of the most defensively powerful Sovereign Avatar in the Great Thousand World. Interesting…" Rather than being discouraged, Xiao Yan's eyes glinted with excitement. Suddenly, a mighty dragon's roar echoed from within him. A pitch-black beam of light erupted from his body, coalescing behind him into a massive black dragon no smaller than the Endless Radiant Body.
The black dragon loomed in the heavens, its gaze cold and disdainful as it stared at the holy avatar. The moment it appeared, Qing Yanjing sensed the light radiating from her Endless Radiant Body begin to dim. Her heart trembled with shock.
'What is this thing? It's actually affecting the Endless Radiant Body?!'
"Spirit of the Four Calamities—Catastrophe Black Dragon!" Xiao Yan roared, stretching out his hand to grasp the black dragon's image. His right arm instantly turned pitch-black, covered in dense, sinister dragon scales, transforming it into a razor-sharp dragon claw.
"Black Dragon Destroys the World!" His deep voice echoed like a dragon's call to war. He punched forward with his clawed right arm, sending the black dragon soaring into the sky. Its massive claw surged with power that seemed capable of tearing the heavens asunder, barreling toward the radiant Sovereign Avatar.
Seeing this, Qing Yanjing's face changed dramatically. She could feel it—this strike had already reached the level of a true peerless divine ability!
