Chapter 72: Demigods in Fierce Battle!
Atop the mountain range, the Lords of the Plane from both sides stood in confrontation. While Electrolux single-handedly held off Tang Hao and Ah Yin, the war below the demigod level had already erupted in full force along the thousands-of-miles-long border of the nascent plane, rapidly escalating into a white-hot stage.
A torrent of creatures from the Abyss Plane, like an endless tide of dark crimson, crashed wave after wave against the defensive lines constructed by the Douluo Allied Forces along the nascent mountain range.
These creatures, varied in form and radiating an aura of savagery and destruction, knew no fear and feared no death. Their sole instinct was to devour everything before them that contained life force.
On the side of the Douluo Allied Forces, after the initial shock, they had steadied their footing, bolstered by the life-giving radiance shed by the Golden Ancient Tree and the promise of 'post-battle resurrection' from their Plane Master.
The long-range firepower foundation, formed by the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Engineer Corps, continuously baptized the charging Abyss Creatures with artillery fire. Meanwhile, human Titled Douluos and hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts acted as the spearhead forces, holding the front lines and engaging in desperate battles against powerful high-tier Abyss Creatures.
However, what truly determined the ultimate outcome of this war of attrition were the duels between the top-tier demigod-level combatants of both sides.
At this moment, in several of the most fiercely contested core areas of the battlefront, several earth-shattering struggles between evenly matched opponents were unfolding.
On the left flank of the battlefront, an area was already covered by the Xue Di's Ultimate Ice domain, the temperature plummeting drastically. Her opponent was the Spirit Emperor who ruled the second layer of the Abyss.
The Spirit Emperor was clad in magnificent golden robes, handsome in appearance, his enormous golden cape flapping loudly in the wind. Were it not for the profound spiritual light in his eyes that seemed to pierce through souls, he would be almost indistinguishable from a powerful human.
His formidable spiritual power was his most terrifying weapon—formless and intangible, yet capable of striking directly at the soul and distorting perception.
The Xue Di's face was like frozen frost. The divine weapon in her hand, forged from Ice Extreme Divine Crystal—the ice extreme divine sword—swirled with azure light.
Facing the Spirit Emperor's unpredictable spiritual assaults, she elevated the ice-and-snow will tempered by her nine-hundred-thousand-year cultivation to its peak. With each swing of the ice extreme divine sword, arcs of sword energy imbued with Ultimate Frost were unleashed, capable of freezing not only physical matter but also spiritual fluctuations.
Ssshh!
A spiritual assault was frozen and shattered by a sword arc. A flicker of surprise passed through the Spirit Emperor's eyes. His figure became elusive, his golden cape billowing as an even more powerful storm of spiritual power swept forth.
The Xue Di merged with her sword, navigating through the spiritual storm, opposing the eerie 'change' with the ultimate'stillness'.
One possessed vast spiritual power, the other had a will as unyielding as ice. They clashed fiercely on both spiritual and energy levels, locked in a stalemate where neither could gain the upper hand.
The central part of the battlefront witnessed the most violent combat.
The Fierce Emperor, ruler of the Abyss's third layer, wore heavy blue-purple armor. Darkness swirled beneath his helmet, with only a pair of purple eyes gleaming.
Each swing of the massive war halberd in his hand stirred up a raging tide of dark crimson energy. This was not ordinary energy but a more condensed, more destructive divine power, imbuing every attack with the force to shatter mountains and rivers.
Opposite him, Di Tian revealed his true form as a Black Dragon, his roar shaking the heavens.
Facing the Fierce Emperor's divine power-infused halberd strikes that tore through the sky, Di Tian did not hesitate to employ his ultimate trump card—the Dragon Gods Claw!
The Dragon Gods Claw reached out, unleashing a primal draconic majesty that forcefully met the edge of the war halberd surging with divine power.
BOOM—!
The clash of claw and halberd erupted in a deafening roar!
The Fierce Emperor's body swayed slightly, but he was not forced back. With a flick of his halberd, surging Abyssal divine power erupted like a volcano, actually managing to rival the power of the Dragon Gods Claw!
Di Tian's draconic eyes contracted, sensing the formidable nature of his opponent's power.
The Fierce Emperor danced wildly with his halberd, his divine power-fueled attacks coming in relentless waves. Di Tian, relying on the supreme quality of the Dragon Gods Claw and his own profound foundation, held firm and fought steadily.
Every collision between them caused spatial tremors. The contest between pure physical might and divine-level energy made the outcome unpredictable in the short term.
The right flank of the battlefront was a scene of brutal collision of pure physical strength.
The Demon Emperor stood three meters tall with a massive head, burning skeletal eye sockets, and huge wings flapping behind it. Its giant claws shimmered with an eerie light. What it relied on most was its divine body, tempered and refined a thousand times over in the Abyss, nearly indestructible and capable of withstanding the vast majority of attacks.
Facing an existence with a divine body, Du Busi stepped forward with a wild laugh. He had just forged his own divine body, its bronze-like luster flowing with the boundless strength and resilience tempered by the Body Sect's secret techniques.
"Come on, let's clash!"
He didn't dodge or evade, instead using his chest to directly receive the Demon Emperor's giant claw.
THUD!
It sounded like the striking of a ten-thousand-pound bell!
Du Busi's body swayed, the ground beneath his feet exploding, but only a faint white mark was left on his chest.
The Demon Emperor's giant claw was knocked away. The flames in its skeletal eye sockets flickered, revealing shock.
The strength of Du Busi's divine body was actually not the slightest bit inferior to its own Abyssal demonic physique!
"Exhilarating!"
Du Busi countered with a backhanded punch, its force enough to collapse mountains.
The Demon Emperor roared, swinging its claws to meet the attack while its huge wings beat, stirring up a corrosive black storm.
The two powerhouses possessing divine bodies, like humanoid beasts of prey, engaged in the most primitive, most violent hand-to-hand combat.
Fists and claws met, constant roaring sound erupting. Each collision stirred up terrifying shockwaves of air.
Du Busi's strength was fierce and unyielding; the Demon Emperor was eerie and vicious. The two fought inextricably, neither gaining even the slightest advantage.
Above the battlefield, the Scythe Emperor's five-meter-tall humanoid figure appeared exceptionally agile. The pair of enormous scythes formed from its arms shimmered with an Ghost Light, their Unparalleled sharpness having already reached the level of divine weapons!
Kong Deming hovered in the air, the silver moon divine light shield above his head casting down soft moonlight. The Scythe Emperor's figure flashed, transforming into a black lightning bolt. Its divine weapon-level scythe arms, carrying a shriek as if to tear space itself, struck the light shield.
CLANG!
A sharp, ear-piercing sound of impact rang out. Although ripples spread across the silver moon divine light shield, it held firm.
However, at the point of the scythe's impact, the shield's light noticeably dimmed. The Ultimate Sharpness of the divine scythe posed a tangible threat to the shield's defense.
Kong Deming's expression turned grave. His hands formed seals, and the silver moon divine light shield shone brightly, shooting out dense moonbeam arrows in retaliation.
Facing Kong Deming's counterattack, the Scythe Emperor relied on its Super high-speed maneuver to change direction rapidly in mid-air. Its twin scythes whirled into a curtain of light, blocking or deflecting most of the moonbeam arrows. The occasional Fish that slipped through the net that struck its body were mostly weakened by its hard carapace.
One possessed Musou defense but needed to be constantly vigilant against the divine scythe's armor-piercing strike. The other had Sharp Attack and Unparalleled speed but found it difficult to breach the Divine Light Shield's absolute defense.
The two were locked in an Ultimate Showdown of speed versus defense, attack versus evasion, where the slightest mistake from either side could instantly alter the course of the battle.
Without exception, the several demigod battlefields had fallen into Stalemate.
The rulers of the Abyss's upper layers, With their special advantages in spiritual power, divine power, divine bodies, and divine weapons, matched the top powerhouses of the Douluo Plane blow for blow across various aspects. Energy was Crazy war of attrition, laws Intense collision, yet none could truly suppress the other.
The Legion battles below Therefore became even more Tragic. Both sides hoped their own Top combat power would be the first to open up the situation.
Blood soaked the earth, roars and Wailing. This war concerning the fate of two planes still hung upon a Delicate balance, awaiting the arrival of that Opportunity that would break the equilibrium.
