Chapter 1403: Nobody Can Take My Life
Not only did Lei Wuqing possess an astonishing combat strength, but he was also extremely smart. After his prolonged fight with Xiang Shaoyun, he was able to see that the Imperial Nether Domain was Xiang Shaoyun's final trump card. Thus, the goal of his attack was to force Xiang Shaoyun to release the Imperial Nether Domain before breaking it apart.
When the Imperial Nether Domain started appearing, his sword qi scattered instead of invading the domain. Only when the domain fully appeared did all the scattered sword qi explode simultaneously.
The sword qi was released with all of Lei Wuqing's strength. If even this attack failed to break Xiang Shaoyun's Imperial Nether Domain, Lei Wuqing would have no choice but to flee.
Hua Ruren could see what Lei Wuqing was trying to do. He raised his brow and said, "Let me lend you a hand!"
Break!
In the blink of an eye, Hua Ruren drew an ancient character for the word "break" in the air. The character carried an immensely destructive force as it shot toward Xiang Shaoyun's Imperial Nether Domain. The two attacks clashed against the Imperial Nether Domain, creating numerous cracks on the edge of the domain.
Pu!
A massive amount of blood spewed out of Xiang Shaoyun's mouth as his saint soul sustained a massive injury. Xiang Shaoyun immediately concealed himself, preventing his opponents from taking this chance to take his life.
"Hua Ruren, what are you still waiting for? Take out your 18 formation flags. Do you really want to see him escape?" shouted Lei Wuqing.
Without any hesitation, Hua Ruren took out his final trump card. Eighteen flags flew out and stopped at different spots, each suppressing a different area. This set of flags was known as the Heaven Suppressing Sacred Flag.
All 18 flags were top-tier saint-grade items capable of suppressing Great Saints and sealing the world. One could only imagine how powerful they were. All the ambient energy in the area started shaking before forming a barrier, fully sealing the area and making it impossible for Xiang Shaoyun to escape.
"Show yourself!" Lei Wuqing swung his sword again, unleashing massive destruction upon the area. He was determined to force Xiang Shaoyun to show himself so he could personally kill Xiang Shaoyun.
Hua Ruren was not standing idle either. He brandished his ink brush in the air and used the world as paper as he drew a bright-gold, dazzling painting that shone upon the area, as though he was going to imprint every inch of the area into his painting.
Invisible, Xiang Shaoyun felt a sense of despair, but the danger also forced an unyielding determination out of him. Inwardly, he roared to himself, You won't be able to kill me that easily!
He stopped hiding and swung the Yin Mother Sword at one of the flags. He had to first break the seal to have a chance of survival. Just as he attacked, both Lei Wuqing and Hua Ruren sensed his movements. Both immediately rained a barrage of attacks at him.
Xiang Shaoyun's sword attack caused the flag to be on the brink of breaking. After all, the Yin Mother Sword was a powerful weapon that had granted Xiang Shaoyun the combat prowess of a Great Saint. Unfortunately, before he could break the seal, the attacks of Lei Wuqing and Hua Ruren arrived, forcing him to defend himself.
In the blink of an eye, more than 10 deep wounds were left on Xiang Shaoyun's body. His blood sprayed everywhere while his bones became visible, looking incomparably sorry.
Blinded by his greed for the Yin Mother Sword, Lei Wuqing attacked continuously and sent countless sword rays at Xiang Shaoyun's sword-wielding hand, trying to snatch the sword. As for Hua Ruren, he continued drawing in the air, aiming to smash Xiang Shaoyun's organs into pieces with each strike of his, not holding back at all.
It did not seem like Xiang Shaoyun would be able to last long under their assault. After all, he had no way of summoning more nether yin devils while his Imperial Nether Domain had been broken. Even his Invisible Nether had been countered by them. Without the three abilities, what could he rely on?
Am I going to die already? thought Xiang Shaoyun to himself.
He had never felt so helpless before. He really hoped that someone would come out and lend him a hand, but that was nothing but a dream. Nobody but himself could help him, and nobody was more reliable than himself.
"If I don't want to die, nobody can take my life! Scram!" Xiang Shaoyun roared as his focus landed on the primal inception energy in his astral cosmos sea. Only then did he recall that this power still remained in his body despite the destruction of his stars. With a roar, he drew out the primal inception energy and swung the Yin Mother Sword.
Instantly, the Yin Mother Sword radiated with a nine-colored radiance. The destructive power transformed into countless sword rays that flooded the area, riddling the sky with countless holes, creating a vacuum in the area. Nothing could stop the destructiveness of the most primal of powers.
Before the two Saints could even understand what was happening, they were completely swallowed by the endless nine-colored sword qi. Lei Wuqing defended himself with all his strength, releasing a massive amount of sword qi that collided against the nine-colored sword qi. Alas, his sword qi was instantly torn through like paper. As for Hua Ruren, the character and painting he was drawing in the air were destroyed before they could be completed.
The terrifying power bombarded the 18 flags, instantly causing the seal to shatter into pieces. The seal was thus broken. Not even the Sky Suppressing Sacred Flag could suppress the overlord!
Primal inception energy was the most primal of energy, a combination of nine different energies. It was a rank higher than primal chaos energy and could blend into any weapon and be used with any battle technique. Any weapon and battle technique would be even more powerful when used with primal inception energy. Not a single energy could compare with primal inception energy in terms of sheer power.
That was why the Yin Mother Sword could unleash the power of a peak Great Saint upon being used with primal inception energy. Even a pseudo-God would have to take a step back in the face of such power.
By the time the numerous sword qis receded, only a massive vacuum was left in the sky. Two Saints had defended themselves with all their strength, but they had still been injured so heavily that they were as good as crippled.
Lei Wuqing's Emotionless Sword was nowhere to be seen. As for his body, only half of it remained. A massive amount of blood constantly flowed out of his body. If it wasn't for his excessive strength, such a heavy injury would have been enough to kill him. As for Hua Ruren, his stomach had been split open, and his body was nearly cut in two. His organs were visible from the deep wound, presenting a revolting and terrifying sight.
