Chapter 1404 Yuan's Most Powerful Attack
1404 Yuan's Most Powerful Attack
With a deep breath, Yuan gathered his spiritual energy, causing his aura to surge, reaching heights that seemed to touch the heavens.
'Since I don't have to worry about killing him, I guess I should throw everything I have at him…' Yuan thought to himself as he activated God of War's Astral Arts, materializing a colossal avatar behind him.
This avatar had grown at least a hundred times larger than before, and its colossal weapon alone dominated the entire sky above Senior Bai. Overwhelmed by the formidable sight, Senior Bai could only swallow nervously in the face of such immense power.
'The God of War's Astral Arts utilizes one's Soul Strength more than spiritual energy… Just how strong is his Soul Strength? Even a Divine Lord wouldn't compare to him, who is only a mere Spirit King!' Senior Bai clenched his fists and immediately started fortifying his defenses.
After their previous exchange, Senior Bai did not dare to underestimate Yuan, who was countless times stronger now. He created a powerful defensive formation around himself that could easily block even a Divine Lord's attack.
'This much should be enough… no… I should prepare some insurance just in case…'
Thus, he created not one but two more defensive formations around him, enough to defend against a Divine King's attack.
Once he was finished, Senior Bai awaited Yuan's attack with a confident smile on his face.
However, Yuan showed no signs of launching his attack anytime soon, and his aura continued to surge, growing in intensity.
Senior Bai swallowed nervously at Yuan's seemingly endless strength and wondered, 'Does he not have a limit? Is he truly a mere Spirit King? There's simply no way…'
"Are you prepared to receive my attack, Senior Bai?" Yuan suddenly asked him.
Senior Bai narrowed his eyes and asked, "I thought I told you to use your full strength. Why are you holding back?"
"What do you mean?" Yuan tilted his head in a puzzled manner.
"During our last exchange, you had this golden aura around you—that terrifying and mysterious power. Yet, I don't sense it from you right now." Senior Bai explained.
'He must be talking about Heaven's Supremacy…' Yuan immediately realized why Senior Bai thought he was holding back.
Yuan sighed, "I told you back then that I have no control over that power, Senior Bai. Unfortunately, I am still unable to summon that power as I wish."
Despite saying that, Yuan still had one use of Heaven's Supremacy left, but he intended on saving it in case of an emergency.
As much as he wanted to win against Senior Bai, he couldn't justify using his trump card in such a wasteful manner.
After a moment of silence, Senior Bai spoke, "Very well, but you better not hold back anymore than that."
Yuan nodded, "I wouldn't dare look down on you, Senior Bai."
"Then I will begin my attack now," Yuan warned again before he started moving.
He raised his arm, pointing it toward the sky, muttering in a low voice, "Limitless Sword, First Domain: Endless Sword Stream."
Over 20,000 swords materialized above them, each embued with Enhanced Sword Aura. Since he didn't have to worry about prolonging the fight, he used his spiritual energy without reserve.
Senior Bai's eyes widened with shock upon witnessing such a frightening sight. Even with his vast experience, he has never experienced anything close to this before.
'Not just Sword Aura, but Enhanced Sword Aura?!' Senior Bai began losing confidence in his own defense, but he couldn't add more right after Yuan began his attack, as that was no different than admitting defeat in his eyes.
However, Yuan did not release the attack just yet.
"Limitless Sword, Second Domain: Descending Sword God!"
Merging all 20,000 swords into one colossal blade, Yuan, controlling the massive avatar, firmly grasped the unified weapon with both hands.
"Oh… fuck." Senior Bai held a dazed look on his face as Yuan prepared to swing the massive blade with the God of War's avatar.
Yuan swung the colossal sword, and in an instant, the massive blade descended upon Senior Bai, cleaving through the fabric of space as it moved.
Seeing this, Senior Bai's instincts started screaming at him. He quickly tossed away his pride and started preparing more defensive formations.
However, right as he was about to complete the formation, he sensed an ominous glare and was immediately struck by an invisible attack that tore his already weakened mental defenses to shreds.
In the fleeting moments before the abyss of darkness enveloped his consciousness, Senior Bai managed to cast a final, profound gaze upon Yuan, whose golden eyes radiated an unfathomable brilliance, resembling that of a dragon's gaze.
'Ah… to think I still underesitmated him… this is my defeat…'
ƈοm The massive sword tore apart Senior Bai's formation like thin sheets of paper and continued straight for his body.
Right as the sword closed in on Senior Bai's body, his entire being suddenly surged with an unfathomable aura foreign to Yuan, followed by a powerful shockwave that not only shattered the massive sword into countless fragments but also sent Yuan flying far away.
Their world shook violently, as if it might crumble at any moment. The immense power even leaked to the outside world, messing with the Myriad of Techniques and making everything tremble.
Even with the Golden Immortal's Physique, Yuan felt a crushing pressure envelope his body, threatening to destroy it.
By the time Senior Bai snapped out of his daze and retrieved his aura, the damage had already been done. His world had cracks all over, and Yuan was miles away with a bloody nose, staring at him with a look of disbelief.
Senior Bai immediately approached Yuan to check his condition, "Are you okay?!"
"Y-yes… I'm just a little shaken by your prowess, Senior Bai." Yuan smiled.
"My instincts took over my body when I was trapped in your mental attack! I am deeply ashamed of myself! " Senior Bai clasped his hands and lowered his head as he apologized in a sincere voice.
