BOOM!
Luo Xiu spat blood as he was sent flying, crashing heavily into a stone pillar.
However, the material strength of this place seed much higher than the outside world. Even after such a forceful impact, the pillar remained completely undamaged.
Dozens of ters away, the Third Elder's body slowly rose into the air. With his feet off the ground, he looked down on Luo Xiu.
"Before a Heavenly Emperor, all beings are but ants."
"Kid, I don't like to bully the weak, so I'll give you a chance... a chance to take your own life right here and now."
Luo Xiu flipped over and got up, rubbing his chest. Thankfully, the Heavenly Armor had absorbed part of that last strike. Otherwise, he most likely wouldn't have been able to get up.
This damn guy... is he really that strong? I don't recall feeling this much pressure, even when I faced An Ran.
Just then, Master Ping's voice rang in Luo Xiu's mind. "This guy is a Heavenly Emperor. Moreover, he reached the Heavenly Emperor realm through 'Refine Self.' His Physical Body is so strong that his every move contains the power of heaven and earth. You cannot engage him in close combat."
"If you didn't have this Heavenly Armor, you probably couldn't even withstand a single one of his punches."
Hearing this, Luo Xiu's heart sank. Although he didn't quite understand everything Master Ping said, he grasped the key point: no close combat!
"Kid, this is going to be a tough battle. What do you plan to do?"
Luo Xiu replied ntally, "Since brute force won't work, I'll have to use my brain."
This was a principle Luo Xiu lived by: if he could beat an enemy, he would face them head-on. If he couldn't, he would have to use his wits and play dirty.
With this in mind, Luo Xiu suddenly unfurled his Tricolor Thunder Wings!
In an instant, thunder flashed and surged throughout the space!
"One Sword All Creation!"
Luo Xiu swung his sword fiercely. The Void instantly exploded with a deafening blast! A Sword Light, a fusion of Glazed Thunder and the Aura of the Dead, tore through the air!
At the sa ti, Luo Xiu's eyes flickered with a green light as he secretly activated "Holy Blasphemy."
Facing the Power of Laws, the Third Elder could no longer deal with the attack as casually as before. But he remained calm, crossing his fists in front of his face as an intricate aura burst from his body. He stood his ground, taking the Glazed Thunder Sword Light head-on!
The destructive power within the Glazed Thunder, combined with the Aura of the Dead, failed to inflict any harm on the Third Elder!
Seeing this, Luo Xiu was shaken, inwardly marveling at the strength of the Heavenly Emperor's Physical Body.
Compared to the Body of the Heavenly Emperor, my prized Thunder Path Physique is no better than tofu.
But Luo Xiu didn't stop his assault, continuing to slash out streaks of thunderous Sword Light at the Third Elder!
The Third Elder's mouth curved into a sinister smile. He suddenly reached out with his left hand as if to grab sothing, then threw a punch with his right.
Almost simultaneously, Luo Xiu, still dozens of ters away, found himself immobilized, as if caught by an invisible giant hand. Then, his chest was struck by a heavy blow, as if from an unseen fist!
That eerie punch ignored the protection of his Heavenly Armor and struck his body directly!
With another loud BOOM, Luo Xiu spat blood again and was sent flying, crashing heavily into the wall.
Extre mockery shone in the Third Elder's eyes as he taunted, "Kid, you're not worthy of fighting ."
"Did you really think you could outsmart with ranged attacks? Do you think you're clever?"
「Elsewhere」
Across the room, Luo Xiu struggled to get up. He wiped the blood from his mouth and stared expressionlessly at the Third Elder.
Master Ping's voice sounded in his mind again. "He must have mastered a Space Law, but I don't know its specific properties."
"However, from what I've seen... within a certain range, he can use this Law to deliver his attacks directly onto your body. So no matter how far you are from him, to him, you're still standing right in front of him."
He suddenly cursed. "Damn it! This bastard achieved the Heavenly Emperor realm with 'Refine Self,' and on top of that, he has this Space Law... He's practically perfect!"
Luo Xiu asked, "What else have you noticed? There isn't much ti left. Keep looking."
"Alright, I, Master Ping, will do my best."
Luo Xiu's Tricolor Thunder Wings spread out behind him. He turned into a bolt of lightning and slashed toward the Third Elder again.
The Third Elder stood his ground, his face full of disdain.
"Your speed is fast, but in front of , it's aningless."
As he spoke, the Third Elder casually reached out and firmly grasped Luo Xiu's neck. That seemingly withered hand was filled with what felt like an endless power.
Luo Xiu was horrified. In that instant, he felt as if he had willingly placed his own neck into the Third Elder's hand. But he knew it wasn't his own doing. The space around him had been twisted, altering his position and forcing his neck into the Third Elder's grasp.
"Third Elder, hurry up! We still need to go suppress the seal!" a black-robed figure on the Triangular Stone Platform urged.
The Third Elder looked impatient. "I know, Brother. It's been a while since soone showed up. Can't I have a little fun?"
"What's so fun about an ant like this? Hurry up and kill him! Don't delay our mission!"
Hearing this, a savage grin spread across the Third Elder's face. He slamd Luo Xiu to the ground by his neck. Then, moving like a shadow, he planted a foot on Luo Xiu's chest, bent over, and unleashed a torrent of fists.
A mont later, Luo Xiu lay twitching in a pool of his own blood. His handso face was a bloody ss, nearly unrecognizable, with stark white bone visible in several places.
The Third Elder straightened up, flexing his arms. "So boring. He can't even take a beating."
SHLICK.
But just as his words fell, a soft sound ca from his body. It was the sound of flesh and bone being pierced by a sharp weapon—a sound that was strangely pleasant and intoxicating.
The Third Elder's body shook, and he instantly stiffened. Slowly lowering his head, he looked incredulously at the sword blade protruding from his heart.
Then, he looked back at Luo Xiu in the pool of blood. To his shock, the man he had just beaten half to death was dissolving into motes of light.
At that mont, Luo Xiu's calm voice suddenly ca from behind him. "It seems your Body of the Heavenly Emperor is no match for my Mysterious Yellow Instrunt."
As he spoke, a wild Tricolor Liuli Thunder burst forth through the sword, furiously pouring into the Third Elder's body, as if to destroy him from the inside out!
"You... When did you..."
The Third Elder's expression was filled with pain. His organs and bones, destroyed by the Glazed Thunder, turned to powder and puffed out from his mouth and nose like smoke. He turned his head with difficulty, looking at Luo Xiu in disbelief.
Luo Xiu simply smiled without a word. He gripped the hilt with both hands and viciously twisted the blade, slowly grinding the Third Elder's heart to pieces.
In reality, when Luo Xiu had unleashed the sword lights of Glazed Thunder, he had simultaneously activated his Divine Skill: Space-splitting Divine Thunder. It was the cover of the Glazed Thunder that had concealed it from the Third Elder's notice.
At the sa ti, Luo Xiu had used "Holy Blasphemy" to create a Clone of himself. While his real body took the opportunity to hide in the Divine Thunder Space and wait for the right mont, the Clone remained outside with Master Ping to observe the Third Elder's abilities.
Master Ping's laughter suddenly rang in Luo Xiu's mind. "Hahaha... I never expected you to be so clever! You actually managed to outwit a Heavenly Emperor and kill him!"
Luo Xiu slowly withdrew his sword, replying through his Divine Sense, "But there are still two more. Next... we might have to resort to that move."
