Chapter 617: The Battle that Determined the Future
DOOONG!
A thunderous bang resounded as the two attacks collided. The impact was felt across the world, creating tsunamis that surged toward the surrounding regions of the Barisan continent. A spatial rift also tore open—its size rivaling that of the continent itself. Fortunately, their clash took place high in the sky.
A devastating spatial storm followed, sucking in everything near the rift. Amid this chaos, the spear and Aldrian’s attack actually canceled each other out. Tarius, watching this, was truly shocked. Even though he had struck with killing intent, a mere mortal had managed to block his attack.
Although he was only using his avatar and not his full strength, he was still many times more powerful than anyone this heaven could produce. He possessed comprehension and power that no being in this lowest heaven could compare to. So how?
Another mind-blowing thing was that the man could control the heavenly tribulation. How on earth could he do that?! A mortal, controlling heavenly might? That was something only divine beings could attempt, and even then, not without consequences.
There was no record in history of any mortal ever controlling heavenly lightning.
After the attack, Tarius tried to see the fate and identity of the red-haired man. But shockingly, it was as if something was blocking his technique. As a divine being, he could observe or investigate mortals with ease. He could see their past, their future—their everything.
But when he looked into Aldrian, he saw nothing. Only darkness. As if there was nothing there to see.
"WHO ARE YOU?!" he roared as he prepared another attack. Three spears formed in front of the eye, and the flow of the world’s energy began to shift. Tarius pushed himself further, absorbing the world’s energy to forge the three spears, each requiring immense power.
But before he could finish creating them, the second lightning strike had already descended—and Aldrian used it to launch another attack.
Aldrian unleashed Slash of Vanguard once more, but this time it was far more powerful. The lightning strike that empowered it was stronger than the last. Tarius grew furious. He had not yet completed shaping the three spears, which carried power far beyond his previous attack.
In a surge of frustration, he instantly launched the unfinished spears toward Aldrian. Once again, the two attacks met in midair.
