Free Web NovelChapter 317: Chapter 316: Decisive Battle with the Yao Emperor, Revealing the Trump Card
"My Sun-Eroding Spider Spear..."
"It was blocked?!"
Ziyuan’s pupils contracted as she muttered to herself.
A sliver of disbelief flashed in her narrow, violet eyes.
’I just performed perfectly!’ she thought.
First.
She had made the correct choice.
Namely: attacking Su Ye himself.
After all, even with his Golden Core Realm, Tier Four Divine Sense, and quasi-Tier Four spiritual ship, none of those things could change the fact that Su Ye’s own cultivation was only at the Mid-stage Crystal.
His cultivation was a full major stage lower than Ziyuan’s!
Therefore, in Ziyuan’s eyes, Su Ye himself was the weakest link!
’As long as I find an opportunity for a single decapitating strike, I can secure victory!’
Ziyuan was certain of it.
And besides making the right choice,
her execution was also brilliant.
One had to remember that Su Ye’s Divine Sense was not the least bit inferior to hers; it was even slightly stronger.
And yet, under these circumstances,
she had relied on her vast experience to successfully deceive his senses and mislead him.
This allowed her to hide her fatal killing blow within the sky-filling spear phantoms, bypassing the Ghostly Flood Dragon’s cannon fire. Using a focused attack to break the wider defense, she had pierced the Shield Array and lunged straight for Su Ye!
Fast! Accurate! Ruthless!
It could be said that the instant her Sun-Eroding Spider Spear pierced the array, Ziyuan felt she had grasped the hand of the goddess of victory!
However...
"He blocked it?!" Ziyuan’s face was filled with astonishment.
If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, Ziyuan would never have believed that a Mid-stage Crystal cultivator could block her Sun-Eroding Spider Spear with his own power alone.
It was simply... inconceivable!
...
「At the same time.」
On the Ghostly Flood Dragon.
*HAAA...*
Su Ye stood on the deck, holding his halberd in a reverse grip. He took a deep breath, like a great whale drinking the sea.
As he inhaled, the Magical Power in his body spread like a sweet rain, nourishing his overburdened physical form.
Twelve Moon Arc Slashes in a single instant.
It had placed a significant burden on his body.
Fractured bones, ruptured blood vessels, torn muscles... A stinging pain emanated from all over his body. As his Magical Power surged to regenerate and repair the damage, a tingling, itching sensation spread through him.
It made the corner of Su Ye’s mouth twitch, and he sucked in a sharp breath.
*Haaa...* He forced a smile.
"As expected of the Sun-Eating Demon Spider Emperor, a great demon who has lived for a thousand years..."
"She is truly powerful..."
’She could actually mislead my Divine Sense?’
’Experience? Skill? A Secret Technique? The Power of Rules?’
The thoughts spun in Su Ye’s mind.
But even as he considered this, there was not a trace of fear in his heart!
’Now, it’s my turn!’
Su Ye looked up, his eyes filled with a magnificent, ethereal blue!
Divine Blood concentration: 50%!
The Gang Wind swirled, letting out a piercing whistle as if cheering for its king!
WHOOSH!
The pale green Gang Wind converged into a tornado and rushed toward Ziyuan!
Her body twisted, her form turning into an incorporeal shadow as she passed through the Gang Wind’s encirclement.
And she launched a counterattack.
Another Sun-Eroding Spider Spear manifested, filling the sky with spear phantoms!
"Heh..." Su Ye sneered.
The cannons roared, precisely intercepting the killing blow hidden among the phantoms!
His Divine Sense was stronger than Ziyuan’s.
Now that he was on guard, it was nearly impossible for Ziyuan’s Divine Sense misdirection to succeed!
"Hmph..."
Ziyuan snorted coldly, her gaze sharp, not saying a word.
The two exchanged blows, engaging in a fierce battle ten thousand meters in the sky!
Gang Wind, blood flames, spider spears...
The aftershocks of their clash spread out!
Shockwaves rippled through the air!
The Spiritual Qi turned violent and surged!
The Cloud Sea for nearly thirty miles around was completely torn apart by their battle!
...
BUZZ!
Ziyuan’s figure flickered.
Activating Shadow Escape, she landed in the void.
And in the next moment!
RUMBLE!
A torrent of Gang Wind surged toward her!
Ziyuan, clad in her Sun-Eating Robe, turned her body incorporeal, evading most of the attacks. But just then, a Plasma Bomb exploded against her body!
BOOM!
Blood flames ignited and a shockwave erupted.
Ziyuan grunted. Her consumption was too great, and she had reached a critical point, forcing her out of her incorporeal state.
’Not good!’
Her heart pounded in her chest as she sensed trouble.
After exiting her incorporeal state,
the vortex of Gang Wind tore at her madly, like a shark that had smelled blood!
The Sun-Eating Robe on Ziyuan’s body fluctuated violently, and her Demon Power was rapidly consumed!
At the same time.
’A perfect chance!’
Su Ye’s eyes lit up as he seized the opportunity.
Without hesitation, he raised his hand and threw the Moonfall Halberd, which shot out like a meteor!
—Whale-Hunting Spear!
"Ugh..." Ziyuan’s pupils lost focus.
The hand seals she was forming to re-enter her incorporeal state were forcefully interrupted!
Soul Suppressing!
Even the Eternal Hunter Incarnation, in its injured state, could not evade Soul Suppressing.
Let alone her.
Because of Su Ye’s interruption, Ziyuan failed to become incorporeal in time.
And in the next instant!
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Twelve Plasma Bombs struck her body!
RUMBLE!
Blood flames erupted, like a magnificent firework blooming in the sky!
Faced with the surging eruption of blood flames, the Sun-Eating Robe Ziyuan wore finally gave way. The viscous shadows dissipated, tearing apart and disintegrating!
WHOOSH!
The blood flames surged!
It burned her body, and glaring, charred marks spread rapidly across her!
And then, with no chance to breathe!
SHK!
A silver light flashed.
The Moonfall Halberd arrived!
Its cold, sharp point mercilessly pierced Ziyuan’s body!
With it came a colossal force, strong enough to shatter mountains!
In that instant, Ziyuan was sent flying backward, leaving a trail of blood across the sky.
Blood stained the vast sky!
She was injured!
The strangling Gang Wind, twelve Plasma Bombs, and the Whale-Hunting Spear!
Even a Tier Four great demon couldn’t withstand that kind of damage!
"Dammit."
After flying backward for several miles, Ziyuan finally regained her composure.
With a pulse of her Sun-Eating power, her body melted into shadow, freeing herself from the Moonfall Halberd and stabilizing her form.
She grit her teeth, enduring the intense pain, and used her Divine Sense to accelerate her thoughts.
’If this goes on...’
’I will lose...’
Ziyuan had to admit this dejectedly.
Relying on the Ghostly Flood Dragon and the geographical advantage of the high-altitude environment, Su Ye’s combat power had suppressed hers.
’If I just had one more year to stabilize my cultivation and truly reach the combat power of a Tier Four Mid Stage...’
Ziyuan couldn’t help but think.
But she quickly shook her head.
She extinguished such an unrealistic thought, which was completely useless in battle.
BZZ.
Numerous thoughts flashed through her mind, but she dismissed them one by one.
’So, I can only use this move!’
A look of resolve flashed in Ziyuan’s eyes.
Behind her, a graceful, noble, and profoundly powerful spider phantom appeared!
The Sun-Eating Demon Spider Emperor!
And at that moment, on this spider phantom, there were six eyes like pale violet gems.
Suddenly, one of them exploded!
...
...
...
Sorry.
I was watching a game today, so the update is late.
I regret it now. If I had known they would lose so badly, I wouldn’t have watched.
I’m so pissed!
It was a waste of time. I should’ve just been writing!
