Clang, clang, clang—
The sound of blades clashing rang out incessantly. Under the mutual grinding of the Shura Sword energy and the Atlas Spear radiance, the hundred-meter radius around the two had turned into a wasteland devoid of life.
"Shura Killing Intent, truly extraordinary! But thinking you can block my Atlas Spear with just such a killing sword might be a bit wishful. Do you want me to lend you the Shura Sword?"
Yun Ming looked at the Killing Intent Sword Blade currently pressing directly against the tip of the Atlas Spear and said indifferently.
"My sword, why would I need to borrow yours!"
Shura erupted with divine power, shaking Yun Ming back. His arm muscles tightened, the killing intent gathered in his palms grew denser, and he swung his sword once more. As he slashed, the killing intent surrounding Shura moved with him, condensing into a hundred-zhang sword glow upon the killing sword, hacking down in a rage.
The Shura Killing Sword, it slashes the body and also slashes the hun!
As the sword descended, Yun Ming felt the scene before him change drastically. The blue sky and white clouds retreated completely; as far as his eyes could see, there was only a battlefield like Hell, where blood flowed like rivers and ten thousand spirits were beheaded. All souls were wailing and crying, and a chill and fear originating from his very divine soul began to invade his mind and body.
Even with Yun Ming's current cultivation, he was affected by Shura's single strike, drawn into the true intent of his Sword Dao where nothing could not be killed. One can imagine the power of this original Shura God King. If it were an ordinary god, they might truly be trapped by Shura's sword intent and beheaded by him, but as for Yun Ming, the more he feared, the more excited he became!
Watching the sword light drawing ever closer, a brilliant smile appeared on Yun Ming's face; it was clear he was very happy. After all, in two lifetimes, this was the only opponent in a head-on battle who could make him feel fear.
Yun Ming used the momentum to turn, thrusting his spear upward with a backhand. A more sharp and overbearing aura erupted from the Atlas Spear, rising to meet the sword glow.
"Anything that falls into my hands is naturally mine, so of course I have to borrow it."
"Well, will you lend it?"
Shura: "."
He had been unreasonable to others his whole life, but he rarely encountered someone who was unreasonable back to him. To be honest, while he felt a bit angry, he also felt a bit strange. Shura let out a cold snort.
"Wait until you block my attack before you talk!"
An even sharper and more tragic aura erupted from Shura almost instantly. In this moment, he seemed to have merged completely with the killing sword in his hand; the person was the sword, and the sword was the person, with no distinction between them.
The sword glow, which was already unstoppable, began to emit a faint humming sound under Shura's further reinforcement. Around the sword light, space cracked, and a black river was carved out of thin air.
Yun Ming did not have so many movements; he still stood there quietly, maintaining his original spear-thrusting posture. But the aura on his body became increasingly terrifying. A terrifying intent, as if from the ancient primordial era, erupted from him. This intent was so powerful that it forcibly tore the sword intent to shreds and instantly rolled it back.
Compared to the probing strike from before, this time, even if it wasn't his full strength, it was definitely absolute focus.
Time is short, and things happen fast. Both of them changed their moves and gathered their strength in an instant. And the moment they finished, it was time for them to clash once again.
Hum—
Compared to the massive momentum of the previous time, the movement this time was very small. Before the blood-colored sword energy and the golden spear radiance could touch, they were blocked by each other's intent, unable to advance even an inch.
The true essence of the Shura God King-level sword intent was sharp, peerless, and predatory. This sword intent truly fit the way of weaponry, and Yun Ming could smell the pungent scent of blood within it. Holding a sword to kill life, Shura was worthy of being Shura!
Yun Ming's spear intent also lived up to the name of Atlas, standing upright between Heaven and Earth, unstoppable. The invincible aura accumulated from two lifetimes of being undefeated could not be shaken in the slightest, even by a God King.
Crack, crack—
The stalemate lasted only for a moment. Soon, the space around the two collapsed on a large scale, and terrifying spatial turbulence rampaged wantonly, destroying everything it touched. Both the Shura sword intent and the Atlas spear intent were too strong; reality could barely withstand one, and now that both were clashing head-on, this was the inevitable result.
Qian Renxue had been shaken back when the two fought. Now that she saw their true power, she no longer had the heart to step forward to assist and could only retreat far away. Although she was very unwilling, there was nothing she could do.
Space was destroyed, and the Void enveloped the two. Shura seemed not to notice, his arm muscles bulging as he continued to swing his sword with force.
"Slash!"
Yun Ming was the same, silent, as the hand holding the spear continued to exert force.
'Boom—'
Spear and sword met, and both flew back ten thousand meters simultaneously. Yun Ming's entire right arm was dripping with blood. The killing sword in Shura's hand shattered completely, blood oozed from the webbing between his thumb and forefinger, and a mouthful of old blood sprayed out from his mouth. However, compared to the damage to their divine bodies, the more troublesome issue for both was their mental state.
The Void was silent, but their hearts were experiencing Heaven Falls and Earth Cracks. Both were enduring the 'intent' of the other's bombardment. Yun Ming was better off; Shura's slaughter sword intent was strong, but it could not shake the foundation of Atlas. But Shura was a bit miserable; the Atlas spear intent, carrying the pressure of the Atlas Great World, made his sword intent unable to cut through. And the result of this disparity was quite serious.
Yun Ming woke up a step earlier. Looking at Shura, who was in a daze ten thousand meters away, he steadied his figure and immediately donned the Atlas Divine Armor. The Phoenix Wings behind him vibrated slightly, and like a strange ray of light, he swept toward Shura.
Ten thousand meters of Void vanished in a flash. And waiting for the dazed Shura was naturally only the Atlas Spear.
Qian Renxue did not expect this sudden change in the battle, nor did the two God Kings of Life and Destruction from the God Realm. Life shouted out subconsciously.
"Stop!"
At the same time, she turned into a green light and rushed toward them. But it was too late.
Ding—
Puchi—
No accidents occurred; at the distance between the two, there was no possibility of a God King stopping it. After the Atlas Divine Spear pierced through the ferocious Shura Divine Armor, it easily pierced through Shura's chest.
"Pfft—"
The excruciating pain of being pierced through the chest awakened the delirious Shura, and he spat out another mouthful of blood.
"The sword is sharp, but it seems it's not sharp enough."
Yun Ming said to the defeated and injured Shura while recovering the damage to his right arm.
However, Shura had no time to bicker with Yun Ming. He looked in astonishment at the ten magnificent, all-encompassing Divine Rings behind Yun Ming, and thinking of the World Spear that had previously suppressed him to the point of helplessness, a stormy sea surged in his heart.
'Ten perfect rings, Creation ascending to godhood! This kid actually walked this path!!!'
And it wasn't just Shura who was shocked; the two who had just arrived on the battlefield were also dumbfounded. Destruction exclaimed aloud.
"It's actually a World Creator!"
Blustering and frantic, completely lacking the composure of a God King, it was clear that Yun Ming's performance had thrown Destruction into a state of utter chaos. His wife, however, fared better; after the initial shock, she noticed Asura still hanging from the Atlas Spear and moved to save him.
"Let him go!"
With a wave of her fair hand, a terrifying ribbon of divine power surged toward Yun Ming.
Yun Ming retracted his spear and took a step, dodging urgently. Seizing the opportunity, Asura transformed into a sword shadow, hastily breaking free to reach his colleague's side.
Life formed a seal with both hands, and a nimble, giant golden tree appeared above her head. The moment the giant tree emerged, even though they were in the dead silence of the Void, they felt vitality filling the sky.
This was the Super Artifact of the Goddess of Life, the Life Ancient Tree. It was somewhat similar to the Golden Tree within Yun Ming's Sky Support World, but compared to this, the Golden Tree was inferior in every way—be it size, or the intensity and content of its life energy.
The Life Ancient Tree swayed, and specks of golden light fell upon Asura, causing his wounds to heal rapidly.
The grace of the Goddess of Life. This healing Divine Skill required at least one-tenth of the Goddess of Life's divine power, with no upper limit.
Watching the wound on Asura's chest begin to close, and observing the methods of Life, Yun Ming noted that the third person possessed divine power fluctuations equivalent to the other two.
Things seem to have become a bit troublesome.
The mutual aid between Life and Asura also allowed Destruction to regain his focus.
Destruction's divine power transmitted: "Kid, you really have given us a big surprise!"
Yun Ming: "I don't see it."
Given the man's stern face and the expression he wore as if looking at a freak, Yun Ming truly did not feel it was a surprise.
Destruction acted as if he hadn't heard, continuing:
"So, will you come back to the God Realm with us yourself, or shall we help you?"
Yun Ming: "I choose neither."
The answer was incorrect, so Destruction stopped replying, merely raising his hand to summon a purple scepter two zhang in length.
