Chapter 77: Trading Injuries, the Sage Lord Severs His Own Wrist
Boom!
Lei Chen's fist, wreathed in seven-colored light, struck Abyssal Sage Lord Tianshen's sinisterly handsome face with a heavy thud.
This punch contained not only majestic divine power but also the vast will of the entire Douluo Plane. Its force was fierce, far exceeding any ordinary physical impact.
The clear, tooth-aching sound of bone cracking rang out.
The muscles on the Sage Lord's face instantly contorted. He felt as if he had been struck head-on by a speeding star, and he staggered backward uncontrollably. His dark-golden vertical pupils suddenly constricted due to intense pain and shock.
A mouthful of blood shimmering with dark-purple divine light sprayed from his mouth, accompanied by several shattered teeth, drawing a piteous arc in the air.
"You...!" The Sage Lord stabilized himself. Feeling the burning pain on his face and the metallic taste of blood in his mouth, endless humiliation and fury instantly drowned his reason.
Since he began ruling the Abyss Plane, when had he ever suffered such humiliation? Someone had actually punched his teeth out!
However, before he could let out a roar, Lei Chen's offensive surged forward again like a tide.
The seven-colored light surrounding his body was as agile as if it had a life of its own, changing instantaneously according to Lei Chen's will.
At times, the seven-colored light condensed into countless peerlessly sharp Swords of Law, shooting toward the Sage Lord's vital points like a torrential rain. At other times, the light transformed into extremely tough Divine Chains of Order, clattering as they coiled and locked down his movements. Sometimes, they turned into seven-colored Great Seals as heavy as mountains, smashing down with the power to suppress all things.
Lei Chen's fighting style was simple and direct, yet suffocatingly efficient.
He completely abandoned defense. Every move was an all-out attack, leaving his vitals completely exposed to the heavenly saint abyss splitting halberd.
Chila!
Another halberd beam flashed by, carving a deep, bone-deep wound into Lei Chen's side, causing golden divine blood to splatter.
But the moment the wound appeared, the Life Guardian Divine Armor erupted with an extremely rich brilliance of life. Majestic Life Origin power flooded in, and the flesh at the wound writhed and healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, it was restored as if the terrifying wound had been a mere illusion.
In contrast, the Sage Lord was frustrated to the extreme when facing Lei Chen's crazy fighting style of all-attack and no-defense.
His heavenly saint abyss splitting halberd was indeed indestructible and ignored all defense, leaving a wound on Lei Chen every time.
However, Lei Chen possessed the Life Guardian Divine Armor, a Super Divine Artifact focused on life protection and healing. Its recovery speed far exceeded the damage accumulation the heavenly saint abyss splitting halberd could cause.
The damage he dealt to Lei Chen might be healed in an instant, but if Lei Chen landed a solid hit on him, it was real damage. Under these circumstances, the situation was extremely unfavorable for him.
If they continued to trade blows, he would likely be the first to fall!
"Dammit!" The Sage Lord roared in his heart, but he had to face reality. After taking several heavy blows from Lei Chen and suffering several significant injuries, he had to change his strategy, shifting from a fierce offense to a cautious defense.
The heavenly saint abyss splitting halberd danced in his hands, turning into an airtight blue-purple light screen, primarily used to block and parry Lei Chen's unpredictable seven-colored attacks.
A peerless weapon that was supposed to tear through all things and be indestructible was now being used as a shield. The frustration and helplessness of this made the Sage Lord want to spit blood.
He possessed the sharpness of the Abyss Splitter but was forced to hide its edge. This feeling of having power but nowhere to use it almost drove him mad.
While the two Lords of the Plane on the mountain peak were locked in a strange reversal of offense and defense, the situation on the demigod battlefield below had taken a sharp turn for the worse.
After Kong Deming used the Linked Soul Tool with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Corps to kill the Scythe Emperor in one hit, this powerful force didn't stop, directly joining the fray between the Xue Di and the Spirit Emperor.
The Xue Di's Ultimate Ice domain was already evenly matched with the Spirit Emperor's vast divine consciousness. Now, with the support of Kong Deming and the entire Soul Engineer Corps, an overwhelming advantage was instantly formed.
Kong Deming coordinated from the center, the silver moon divine light shield casting a clear glow. It not only greatly weakened the Spirit Emperor's divine consciousness shocks but also resonated with the Xue Di's ice extreme divine sword.
The power of three hundred Soul Engineers gathered through the Linked Soul Tool, transforming into beams of condensed moonlight that continuously bombarded the Spirit Emperor like maggots on a bone.
Though the Spirit Emperor was strong and possessed vast divine consciousness, he was facing a frontal assault from the Xue Di of the same rank, with Kong Deming—who possessed a divine artifact and could mobilize the power of a legion to launch attacks nearing the God-level—supporting from the side. He was soon flustered and in constant peril.
Multiple tears had appeared on his magnificent robes, and his aura was clearly in disarray. Defeat or even death seemed to be only a matter of time.
On the mountain peak, the Tian Shen, who was constantly monitoring the entire battlefield, clearly sensed the Spirit Emperor's precarious situation.
As the ruler of the second layer of the Abyss, the Spirit Emperor was one of his most important core combatants. If he also fell here, following the loss of the Scythe Emperor and a large number of Abyssal Kings and troops, the Abyss Plane's invasion would not only be a total failure but would also be severely weakened, potentially shaking the very foundations of his plane!
"I can't wait any longer!" The Sage Lord was extremely anxious. He knew he had to buy time for his remaining forces to retreat, no matter the cost.
A crazy thought flashed through his mind.
Just as Lei Chen's seven-colored Great Seal came crashing down again, a look of ruthless determination flashed in the Sage Lord's eyes. He intentionally slowed his defense with the heavenly saint abyss splitting halberd by half a beat, revealing a tiny flaw—the inner wrist of his right hand holding the halberd was wide open!
"Now!"
Lei Chen's eyes were like lightning; he naturally didn't miss this opportunity. A beam of seven-colored light, condensed like a thread, instantly transformed into the sharpest blade. Carrying the sharpness of the Law of Cutting, it struck the Sage Lord's wrist with unerring precision!
Puchi!
Blood splattered as a severed hand, still tightly gripping the heavenly saint abyss splitting halberd, separated from the Sage Lord's arm along with a spray of dark-purple divine blood and fell downward.
The intense pain made the Sage Lord groan, and his face instantly turned pale. However, a flash of madness from a successful scheme appeared in his eyes. Enduring the pain of his severed wrist, he used the split-second gap after Lei Chen's attack landed to use his remaining left hand to yank the heavenly saint abyss splitting halberd still held by the severed hand!
Buzz—!
The Super Divine Artifact erupted with an unprecedented hum. A deep, heavy dark-purple light shield radiating endless abyssal aura expanded instantly with the heavenly saint abyss splitting halberd as its core. Like an inverted giant bowl, it covered a small portion of the boundary mountain range, forcefully partitioning the front-line area where the fierce battle was still raging!
On one side of the light shield was the Douluo Allied Forces ready to press their advantage, while the other side became a temporary sanctuary for the abyssal remnants.
Tang Hao and Ah Yin, who were in a fierce battle with Electrolux, were both startled when they saw this suddenly rising isolation shield and the Sage Lord's severed wrist. They instantly understood how dire the situation had become.
The two looked at each other, both seeing the unwillingness and helplessness in the other's eyes. They immediately used a feint to force back Electrolux's eternal pagoda and turned into streaks of light, quickly retreating behind the dark-purple light shield.
Electrolux did not pursue. He simply floated in the air, the eternal pagoda casting a milky-white glow. His aged face was as calm as still water as he watched the scene quietly.
Seeing that the core combatants of his side and the remaining Abyss Creatures had finally mostly retreated behind the light shield, temporarily escaping the direct edge of the Douluo Allied Forces, the Sage Lord finally let out the breath he had been holding.
He recalled the heavenly saint abyss splitting halberd. Abyssal divine power surged at his severed wrist, barely stopping the bleeding, but his expression remained incredibly grim.
He looked up toward the other side of the light shield at Lei Chen, whose seven-colored light was still flowing and whose aura remained at its peak. He opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say some harsh words to save some face.
But with the words at the tip of his tongue, looking at Lei Chen's calm, deep eyes that seemed to see through everything, and then looking at his own pathetic state and the heavily damaged army below, all his resentment and anger finally turned into a single, frustrated cold snort.
The next moment, the Sage Lord's figure flickered, turning into a dark-purple streak of light, and he flew into the massive dark-purple light shield without looking back.
