Chapter 278 The Gap Between Super Artifacts.
After Sikong Zhen unleashed his Martial Soul True Form, his aura surged, approaching the divine realm.
The final bottleneck, stimulated by the divine aura, has already shown a slight crack.
"boom!"
The Thunder Giant, wielding his divine spear, thrust it fiercely towards the purplish-black streak of light!
"Bang bang bang!"
The domineering power of thunder and the devouring power of the abyss collided violently in the void, producing a deafening roar.
Lightning and black mist tore at each other and annihilated!
Space was torn open with huge cracks, and dense energy fluctuations spread outwards.
The trees in the Sunset Forest turned to ashes, and the earth was plowed into deep, bottomless ravines.
"this..."
The Abyss Saint King was slightly startled!
He hadn't expected Sikong Zhen to be so powerful.
Even without breaking through to the god level, he was able to fight his god-level clone to a standstill with his Thunder Martial Soul and Martial Soul True Body.
Moreover, the power of thunder counters the power of the abyss, greatly reducing the power of his attacks.
"Interesting. Looks like I underestimated you."
A hint of seriousness flashed in the eyes of the Abyss Saint King, and he no longer showed the slightest contempt.
The black mist surrounding him surged once more, and countless abyssal tentacles extended from the mist, wrapping around the thunder giant.
Each tentacle contained a dense devouring power, attempting to completely absorb the power of thunder.
"A trivial skill!"
Sikong Zhen snorted coldly!
Controlling the Thunder Giant, he wielded his divine spear, and the lightning in the sky transformed into countless lightning blades, severing the tentacles of the abyss one by one.
At the same time, he unleashed several soul skills in succession, which erupted one after another.
Purple lightning enveloped the entire void, forming a massive lightning net.
The Abyss Saint King was trapped inside.
Countless pillars of lightning fell from the lightning net, bombarding the opponent.
In an instant, lightning flashed across the outer perimeter of Sunset Forest, and explosions rang out one after another!
The two fought fiercely, their strengths evenly matched.
Sikong Zhen grew increasingly excited. His battle with a god-level expert deepened his understanding of the power of thunder.
The power within my body is also surging wildly!
The bottleneck to that divine realm is loosening at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It's time to end this!"
Sikong Zhen seized an opening, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
The power of lightning around him gathered wildly, and the domain of the Heavenly Reward suddenly unfolded!
"Nine Heavens Thunder Domain!"
In an instant, the entire perimeter of Sunset Forest transformed into a world of lightning, with purple lightning filling every corner.
The power of thunder in the heavens and earth converged madly toward Sikong Zhen.
In the Nine Heavens Thunder Domain, Sikong Zhen is the master of thunder, the thunder god who judges all living beings.
His strength increased several times over, and his aura was almost breaking through the shackles of the Divine Realm.
"What's this?"
The Abyss Saint King sensed the terror of the Nine Heavens Thunder Domain, and a trace of horror flashed in his eyes!
He discovered that his abyssal power was being suppressed within the lightning domain, making even movement difficult.
His apprehension grew stronger!
Unexpectedly, this human soul master who has not yet become a god possesses such formidable domain power.
"Prepare to die!"
"Ninth Soul Skill: Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Sword!"
With a low shout, Sikong Zhen controlled the full power of the Nine Heavens Thunder Domain and unleashed his ninth soul skill.
The boundless power of thunder transformed into a ten-thousand-foot-long divine sword of lightning.
With the power to judge all things, it bombarded towards the Abyss Saint King.
Wherever the divine sword passed, space shattered!
The Abyss Saint King's pupils shrank sharply. He could feel the terror of this thunderous divine sword. If he were to take it head-on, his clone would definitely suffer severe damage.
It might even collapse completely.
He didn't dare hesitate for a moment and gritted his teeth.
A jet-black artifact, exuding a terrifying aura, appeared in his hand.
It is the ultimate artifact: the Heavenly Saint Abyss Splitting Halberd!
As soon as the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd was unleashed, a dense surge of abyssal primal power swept out, forcefully tearing a rift in the Nine Heavens Thunder Domain.
"It's an amazing artifact!"
Upon seeing the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd, Sikong Zhen's pupils constricted sharply, and a deadly sense of crisis arose in his heart.
He could sense the terror of this divine weapon!
Even though he was in the Nine Heavens Thunder Domain and his strength had increased dramatically, he was still no match for the super artifact.
He instinctively tried to back away, but found that the surrounding void was sealed off by an invisible force, making it impossible for him to move.
"Hahaha, too late!"
The Abyss Saint Lord let out a ferocious laugh!
In order to kill Sikong Zhen, he did not hesitate to burn one-tenth of the original power of this clone.
He unleashed a forbidden abyss technique, sealing off the surrounding void.
Although the blockade lasted only three seconds, it was enough for him to use the Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd to obliterate Sikong Zhen.
"To die beneath the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd is your honor!"
The Abyss Saint Lord wielded the Heavenly Saint Abyss Splitting Halberd, his abyssal power and the power of the supreme artifact intertwined around him.
It transformed into a jet-black beam of annihilation!
With unparalleled power, it stabbed towards Sikong Zhen's brow.
"not good!"
A flicker of terror crossed Sikong Zhen's eyes. He could feel the shadow of death approaching, yet he was unable to move.
They could only watch helplessly as the light of destruction approached.
"call out!"
At this critical moment, a golden streak of light rushed in from the core of Beidou Academy.
The speed was so fast that it covered a distance of several thousand meters in an instant.
A terrifying sword aura, surpassing even that of a divine artifact, suddenly erupted.
Golden sword energy tore through the void, carrying an aura of dominance over the world, and blasted towards the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd.
"bite!"
A crisp metallic clang rang out!
Golden sword energy and the light of destruction clashed violently in the void.
"Boom boom boom!"
A vast energy shockwave swept out.
The light of destruction on the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd was instantly shattered, and the invisible force that sealed the void was also smashed by the golden sword energy.
Sikong Zhen instantly regained his mobility. He took several steps back, a hint of relief at surviving the ordeal flashing in his eyes.
He looked up and saw a divine sword, entirely golden and exuding an aura of holiness and dominance, floating in the void.
Ancient runes were engraved on the sword, which belonged to Lu Xiao, the dean of Beidou Academy.
The number one super artifact on the artifact list—the God-Slaying Sword!
"This is... the power of a peak-level super artifact!"
When the Abyss Saint King saw the God-Slaying Sword, extreme terror flashed in his scarlet eyes.
He could sense the terror of this divine sword, which was far more powerful than his Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd.
The sword energy of the God-Slaying Sword instilled a deep fear in even his god-level avatar.
Lu Xiao did not appear, but the golden sword energy still carried terrifying power as it blasted towards the Abyss Saint King.
Without the slightest hesitation, the Abyss Saint King once again burned his primordial power.
He channeled all his power into the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd and used it to parry the God-Slaying Sword.
"clang!"
With a deafening roar, the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd and the God-Slaying Sword collided violently, and golden sword energy instantly swept out.
The Abyss Saint King was struck as if by a heavy blow, and he staggered back hundreds of steps, spitting out a mouthful of black blood.
The black mist around him dimmed a bit.
And fine cracks appeared on the Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd in his hand.
The power of the divine artifact fluctuated violently, and its strength was greatly reduced.
"How...how is this possible!"
The Abyss Saint looked at the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd in his hand, which was covered with cracks, with disbelief and horror in his eyes.
His Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd is a supreme treasure of the Abyss Plane, a super divine artifact.
He was actually injured by the opponent's sword; the power of this golden divine sword was truly terrifying!
His greed vanished instantly!
Instead, there was extreme fear.
He finally realized that Beidou Academy was not an entity he could afford to offend.
Not only are there extraordinary geniuses like Sikong Zhen, but also top experts who possess the pinnacle of super artifacts.
The owner of that golden sword aura must be unfathomably powerful, far exceeding his imagination.
