Chapter 548: Awakening
Across the wasteland, the scene had long since transformed into a killing ground where everything was being shredded to pieces.
The sky full of yellow sand was torn to powder by the violent True Origin. Between heaven and earth, there was nothing but the deafening crash of metal on metal and the thunderous roar of clashing True Origin, sending pain shooting through the eardrums. Even the ground beneath everyone's feet was cracking apart in a constant stream, and trench after bottomless trench spread outward, carving the entire wasteland into fragments.
The fighting of True Origin realm cultivators had already become nothing more than background detail. The true forces stirring the storm were the Grandmaster duels playing out high in the sky.
Even a clash at the Sixth Revolution Grandmaster level was enough to shake heaven and earth.
The Purple Sun Upper Sect's Zhao Yanlie had the Purple Sun True Fire around him transform into a sky-scorching fire dragon, locked in fierce combat with the Great Snow Mountain's Grandmasters. Everywhere the fire dragon passed, the very air was twisted and warped by the heat. With every collision of flame and saber light, a rain of fire fell, leaving blackened craters wherever it struck the ground.
The Cloudwater Upper Sect's Xie Mingyan, grey robe billowing, swept a longsword through the air in flowing strokes, unleashing a sky full of cold and sharp water-element sword qi that had the Jinting Black Anaconda Division's Grand Lord locked in a tight grip. Where the sword qi criss-crossed, the surrounding yellow sand froze into ice in an instant, then was shredded to powder by the sword qi a moment later.
Marquis Zhenbei and Grand Lord Di Cang were even more fierce, and every clash of their two heavy sabers sent a boom shaking the entire area, the surrounding space rippling with fine vibrations within a hundred zhang.
On the other side, the Taiyi Upper Sect's Xiao Changgeng and Grand Lord Lie Qi were locked in a battle with no clear winner in sight.
And at the very heart of the battlefield, the Eighth Revolution Grandmaster duel between Jiang Huaizhou and Emissary Ling Shuang had caused every surrounding expert to instinctively clear a range of a hundred zhang, forming a vacuum zone sealed off from the rest of the world.
