Chapter 379 Fierce Battle
A gigantic golden phoenix figure condensed before Liu Bai. A terrifying pressure like a raging tsunami swept across the heavens and earth, stirring monstrous waves within the emerald seabed.
Huang Xuanzhi's figure slowly descended onto the head of the golden phoenix. His golden eyes resembled those of a god, devoid of the slightest emotion as he looked down upon Liu Bai from above.
The golden phoenix beneath his feet was Huang Xuanzhi's true body. Since he had summoned his true form from the very beginning, it was clear that he intended to fight seriously right away.
Seeing this, Liu Bai naturally would not hold back either and likewise summoned his Five Emperors Celestial Body.
Looking at the figure standing upon the shoulder of the Five Emperors Celestial Body opposite him, Huang Xuanzhi slowly said, "Your Five Emperors Divine power is ineffective against me. Since that is the case, receive this divine ability of mine as well."
As his voice fell, his hands rapidly changed seals. The wings of the golden phoenix suddenly erupted with dazzling golden light, faintly taking on the shape of sun and moon.
An indescribable oppressive pressure spread outward. It was the sign of an extremely powerful Great Divine Ability about to be unleashed.
"It is the Sun Moon Heavenly Phoenix Wings!"
In the distance, Kong Ling'er and the others cried out in alarm, their voices filled with deep fear.
The so called "Sun Moon Heavenly Phoenix Wings" was a top tier Great Divine Ability within the Phoenix Clan. Although its power had not reached the level of the Thirty Six Peerless Divine Abilities, it was still absolutely renowned throughout the Great Thousand World and no weaker than the Five Emperors Divine power of the Five Emperors Divine Sovereign.
Liu Bai frowned. At this moment, his Five Emperors Divine Statues had already dissipated, after all maintaining them for such a long period consumed a tremendous amount of spiritual energy.
Raising his hand, the Golden Sun Divine Lotus that had previously trapped the "Huang Xuanzhi" appeared once more. Only this time, the golden lotus was tens of thousands of feet enormous, and the entire Five Emperors Celestial Body stood at its very center, facing the sun and moon in the sky from afar.
Rumble rumble.
The sun and moon floated in the air carrying boundless might capable of crushing all obstacles.
Huang Xuanzhi let out a long cry and pushed his palm forward!
The golden sun and moon formed from the pair of phoenix wings immediately shot forward. The sun and moon chased one another as a destructive force spread throughout the surrounding space.
Liu Bai's gaze sharpened. His hand seals changed, and the Five Emperors Celestial Body opened its gigantic mouth, spitting out streams of Five Elements fused divine light. Like divine thunder, they continuously bombarded the incoming golden sun and moon, but the moment they made contact, they were instantly crushed into nothingness.
"What an overbearing divine ability!"
"As expected of the Phoenix Clan's top Great Divine Ability. Truly extraordinary."
This was the first time Liu Bai had encountered something capable of overpowering his Five Elements fused spiritual energy. The Phoenix Clan truly possessed some incredible trump cards worthy of being rulers among avian races.
Changing his hand seal once more, the petals of the Golden Sun Divine Lotus slowly closed, protecting the entire Five Emperors Celestial Body within the lotus.
At the same time, the seven great suns upon the lotus petals began radiating dazzling light. The light transformed into golden needles that condensed into a gigantic golden dragon which lunged directly toward the sun and moon.
"Roar!"
Accompanied by a dragon's roar, the golden dragon formed from the golden needles bit down on the golden sun while its claws grasped the golden moon.
Terrifying golden light erupted from the golden sun, attempting to destroy the golden dragon. However, this time its power did not achieve much effect. Instead, endless golden needles suddenly erupted from within the dragon's mouth, gradually eroding the brilliance of the golden sun until it dimmed and vanished.
The golden moon suffered the same fate, gradually worn away by the endless sea of golden needles.
Outside the Divine Transformation Pool, this battle had already attracted everyone's attention.
The strength Liu Bai displayed had completely shocked everyone except Huang Jin, while Fang Han, who bore the hatred of his son's death against Liu Bai, had completely darkened expression.
He himself was also an Initial Phase Immortal-Grade Heavenly Sovereign, yet compared to Huang Xuanzhi he was still inferior. The Sun Moon Heavenly Phoenix Wings Huang Xuanzhi had just displayed would have been enough to severely injure him.
Yet Liu Bai had actually blocked it so easily.
"This brat possesses the inheritance of the Five Emperors Divine Sovereign and is also a Spiritual Array Ancestor. Relying solely on my Golden Phoenix Clan, the chances of revenge are slim to none. The Phoenix Clan itself must act!"
Fang Han understood clearly that the only one he could rely upon now was the Phoenix King above him taking action personally. Otherwise, even if Huang Xuanzhi could defeat Liu Bai, with the battle power Liu Bai had displayed, killing him would be nearly impossible.
Thinking of this, Fang Han even began hoping that Liu Bai would defeat Huang Xuanzhi as well. With Huang Jin's domineering temperament, he definitely would not let the matter end so easily!
Inside the Divine Transformation Pool, after the first clash of divine abilities, even Huang Xuanzhi's heroic face could not help becoming more solemn.
Liu Bai's battle power had truly exceeded his expectations. One had to know that the difference in cultivation between them was an entire major realm. If Liu Bai were also to break through into the Immortal Grade, would that not mean even he would become inferior to this human?
Such a thing was absolutely unacceptable to Huang Xuanzhi!
Taking a deep breath, Huang Xuanzhi expressionlessly began forming an ancient hand seal.
As his hand seals changed, everyone could see rings of golden halos emitting ancient auras slowly appear behind Huang Xuanzhi's head.
And when the crowd saw those mysterious ancient halos emerge one after another, all of them involuntarily sucked in a cold breath.
Because they knew that the appearance of those halos meant Huang Xuanzhi had activated his strongest divine ability.
One of the Thirty Six Peerless Divine Abilities of the Great Thousand World, the Nine Revolutions Saint Art!
"So now he is serious?"
Liu Bai laughed inwardly, though he did not dare show the slightest carelessness.
With another change in hand seals, two black and white figures instantly appeared upon the shoulders of the Five Emperors Celestial Body, standing on either side of him.
"Clones?"
In the distance, Xiao Tian of the Heavenly Dragon Crane Clan asked in confusion.
What use would splitting into two clones have at a time like this?
"Watch carefully. Those are not ordinary clones!" Kong Ling'er's colorful eyes gleamed. Even on her pale pretty face, a trace of charming excitement flashed.
"If I am not mistaken, those are two clones created by the One Qi Transforms into Three Purities, another of the Thirty Six Peerless Divine Abilities of the Great Thousand World. Their strength is identical to the original body and they can even use all of the original body's divine abilities and secret arts!"
Kong Ling'er's explanation caused Lin Cang and Xiao Tian to stare with mouths agape.
Liu Bai actually possessed a divine ability on the same level as the Nine Revolutions Saint Art?
Liu Bai paid no attention to the outside world because his actions were not yet finished. After splitting out the two clones, his movements did not stop. His hand seals continued changing, and in the next instant, under everyone's shocked gazes, the black and white figures directly stepped into his body.
And at that very moment, Liu Bai's aura began surging explosively. In the blink of an eye, it had already broken through the Late Phase Spirit Grade and was even approaching the Immortal Grade!
This scene caused Kong Ling'er and the others' eyelids to twitch wildly.
Although they knew about the "One Qi Transforms into Three Purities," they did not understand many of its details.
They had never imagined that the clones produced by this divine ability could actually fuse back into the original body. Moreover, this was not a simple one plus one increase, but a direct amplification of cultivation by several or even dozens of times!
"This is way too monstrous! Thank goodness we are not the ones fighting him…" Lin Cang could not help cursing, though there was also a trace of relief in his tone.
"Hehe, whether he is strong or not has nothing to do with us. In any case, we have completely suffered a disastrous loss this time!" Xiao Tian's face was dark green as he thought about the Blood Essences they had spent for the Quasi Saint Grade Blood Spiritual Beast. His heart ached endlessly.
The three understood very clearly that regardless of who won between the two above, the spoils would never belong to them. They themselves might even become part of the spoils.
"What is the point of saying all this? If you do not take a gamble in situations like this, would you really be willing to accept it?"
Compared to the other two, Kong Ling'er was unexpectedly more open minded.
After hearing her words, Lin Cang and Xiao Tian immediately fell silent and could only continue watching the distant battlefield.
At this moment, Huang Xuanzhi's handsome face resembled eternal black ice, the piercing coldness causing hearts to tremble. He slowly spread his hands apart, and his indifferent voice rang out.
"Nine Revolutions Saint Art, First Revolution Golden Soul Seal!"
As his voice fell, the rings of golden halos behind his head suddenly squirmed. A burst of golden light erupted forth and directly formed a golden seal roughly a thousand feet in size.
That golden seal was incomparably ancient. Mottled spiritual light flickered across its surface as though it had endured countless wars. A tyrannical fluctuation spread from it, shaking the void itself.
Liu Bai raised an eyebrow, sensing that the power carried by this golden seal was no weaker than the Sun Moon Heavenly Phoenix Wings Huang Xuanzhi had displayed earlier.
"Go!"
As Huang Xuanzhi's icy voice echoed out, the golden seal directly crushed through the void and appeared above Liu Bai's head. Carrying a destructive force, it descended as though intending to grind all living beings beneath it into dust.
Liu Bai lifted his head and gazed at the golden seal casting a shadow over him. Spiritual light flicker Celestial Body his eyes as the Five Emperors Celestial Body beneath his feet released a deep roar. The Five Emperors divine patterns upon the imperial robe of the Celestial Body flashed brilliantly while the fused Five Elements Origin Power gathered into its fist before being blasted outward in a punch.
Boom!
The sea trembled violently as gigantic waves rose tens of thousands of feet high. The golden seal was blasted away while the Five Emperors Celestial Body merely swayed slightly. However, upon closer inspection, one could see a tiny crack had appeared on its right fist.
Huang Xuanzhi's expression remained calm. This was merely the weakest move of the Nine Revolutions Saint Art. Being blocked was nothing unusual.
He formed another seal with one hand as his cold voice rang out once more.
"Second Revolution Phoenix Flame Sword!"
"Third Revolution Phoenix Divine Feather!"
"…"
"Seventh Revolution Phoenix Blood Spirit Stone!"
Every time Huang Xuanzhi's cold voice fell, one of the golden halos behind him erupted with dazzling golden light. The light condensed and transformed into a divine ability technique radiating terrifying might before him.
These divine ability techniques were all astonishingly powerful and incomparably solid, appearing almost like true Peerless Saint Artifacts.
When Liu Bai blocked the fifth divine ability technique, the arms of the Five Emperors Celestial Body finally shattered because they could no longer endure the horrifying pressure.
At that moment, Kong Ling'er and the others, along with everyone outside, all thought Liu Bai was about to lose!
However, they never expected that the instant the Celestial Body's arms shattered, a golden spear would appear in Liu Bai's hand. Then, with a single sweep, he shattered both the sixth and seventh divine ability techniques.
"A Peerless Saint Artifact, and at minimum an Immortal-Grade Peerless Saint Artifact!"
The colorful light in Kong Ling'er's eyes could no longer be concealed as her trembling voice rang out.
Not only the three of them, even those outside had been shocked again and again by Liu Bai's performance.
The only one still able to remain calm was Huang Jin because he had already received news about what happened on the Saint Abyss Continent and naturally knew Liu Bai possessed the inheritance treasure of the Spear Ancestor.
The only thing he had not expected was that Liu Bai would persist for so long before finally taking out this World Shocking Divine Spear.
"There is still one final move. If this Liu Bai can block the final divine ability technique as well, then things will become troublesome." Huang Jin murmured inwardly.
Huang Xuanzhi likewise had a gloomy expression while endless killing intent radiated from his sharp eyes.
"The World Shocking Divine Spear. Even after being worn down for so many years, it can still unleash power comparable to the pinnacle of the Immortal-Grade. Truly worthy of being a Saint-Grade Peerless Saint Artifact!"
"Oh? You actually know about it? Then the reason you continuously unleashed so many divine ability techniques earlier was to force me into using the World Shocking Divine Spear?"
Huang Xuanzhi responded with a cold smile.
"The World Shocking Divine Spear is powerful, but with only your Spirit-Grade cultivation, how many times can you truly use it?"
"Your Spiritual Pulse Divine Ability, your Sovereign Celestial Body, and now this World Shocking Divine Spear. Just how much spiritual energy do you still have left to squander?"
It had to be said that Huang Xuanzhi's scheming was exquisite. From the very beginning, he had already drawn Liu Bai into his calculations.
Whether it was the Spiritual Pulse Divine Ability or the One Qi Transforms into Three Purities, both consumed tremendous amounts of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid to sustain Liu Bai. Otherwise, relying purely on his own spiritual energy, even with a Heavenly Sovereign's ability to merge with heaven and earth, he would have long since been drained dry.
Not to mention that Liu Bai had consecutively used the World Shocking Divine Spear six times to completely destroy Huang Xuanzhi's six divine ability techniques.
Of course, consumption worked both ways. While Liu Bai was being depleted, Huang Xuanzhi was likewise expending enormous amounts of spiritual energy.
Under this kind of battle of attrition, it would ultimately depend on whose foundation was deeper.
The Phoenix Clan had stood at the peak of the Great Thousand World for countless years. As the greatest genius of the current generation of the Phoenix Clan and the son of the Phoenix King, Huang Xuanzhi's foundation was naturally not something a "nouveau riche" like Liu Bai could compare to.
Furthermore, in Huang Xuanzhi's eyes, a newly risen genius like Liu Bai without the backing of a sufficiently powerful super faction could possibly possess how much Sovereign Spiritual Liquid in reserve?
It could be said that everything he had done was already cautious and comprehensive enough. Even Liu Bai, if this battle had taken place before the struggle for supremacy on the Skylaw Continent as in the original story, would very likely have fallen into this trap.
But unfortunately for him, Liu Bai had just obtained several tens of billions of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid from Ghost Emperor and the other five Heavenly Sovereigns.
Looking at the sea of spiritual energy flowing within his Universe Ring.
Although he still did not dare compare himself with the Phoenix Clan behind Huang Xuanzhi, handling a battle of this intensity was more than sufficient.
