Chapter 93: Combined Strike of Two Gods!
Electrolux's return was like placing the final, decisive weight onto a scale that was already tilting.
Watching that aged figure standing silently in the void, holding the eternal pagoda, the last trace of reservation in Lei Chen's eyes completely vanished.
After withstanding a crazed strike from the Tian Shen's halberd, he used the momentum to retreat half a step. His voice, calm yet carrying the finality of an ending, clearly reached Electrolux's ears:
"Electrolux, there is no need to continue destroying the Abyss. This scoundrel is at the end of his tether; let us join forces and end this quickly."
Electrolux bowed slightly, his aged face as calm as a deep well, yet his eyes were as sharp as a falcon's as they locked onto the Tian Shen's erratic aura: "I obey your decree."
Before his voice had even faded, Electrolux had already made his move.
He lightly tapped his staff, and the eternal pagoda floating beside him once again erupted with Chaotic Divine Light.
The pagoda spun rapidly, instantly growing to a size of a hundred zhang. It did not simply smash down; instead, following a profound trajectory, it emitted a majestic power that suppressed the soul and solidified space. Like an invisible swamp, it enveloped the Tian Shen from all directions.
"You old fogey! How dare you bully me!" the Saint Lord roared. He swung the heavenly saint abyss splitting halberd wildly, carving out streaks of dark purple halberd light that tore through space, attempting to break through this suffocating binding force.
However, the suppression of the eternal pagoda was like a maggot on a bone. Although it couldn't directly inflict heavy damage, it greatly hindered his movements and interfered with the flow of his divine power. This was a devastating blow to his already sluggish movement techniques caused by over-exhaustion.
In the instant the Saint Lord was pinned down by Electrolux's eternal pagoda, Lei Chen moved.
With a thought, the seven-colored flowing light around him withdrew. Following that, a dazzling sword-shaped phantom, seemingly condensed from the Tribulation Lightning of the nine heavens, slowly emerged from his palm.
Before the sword had fully manifested, a peerlessly sharp and terrifying sword intent, carrying the flavor of heavenly punishment, soared into the sky. It forcibly dispersed some of the lingering abyssal deathly aura. The intensity of this sword intent even faintly stirred the chaotic energy flows of the entire Abyss Plane.
This was precisely the divine artifact Lei Chen had kept hidden for a long time—the Nine Heavens Thunderstrike Sword!
According to Lei Chen's original conception, although this sword was already a divine artifact, if it could absorb the sliver of Primal Chaotic Lightning Power contained within the Xue Di's million-year heavenly tribulation, it would have a high probability of taking another step forward and promoting to a great divine artifact on par with the eternal pagoda.
At that time, using this sword against the Tian Shen would undoubtedly provide an even more crushing advantage.
However, plans often fail to keep up with changes. Even Lei Chen hadn't expected the situation to progress so smoothly. He didn't even need to wait for that future opportunity; he could finish the job in one stroke today. Since victory was within his grasp, there was naturally no need to keep his trump card hidden!
"Buzz—!"
The Nine Heavens Thunderstrike Sword fully solidified. The blade was slender and its entire body was a deep purple-gold. Countless fine lightning runes flickered and jumped across the blade, emitting heart-palpitating crackling sounds.
The moment the sword was formed, an invisible lightning pressure spread out. It even caused Electrolux, who was controlling the eternal pagoda nearby, to glance over with a flicker of surprise in his eyes.
He could feel that while the quality of this Thunder Sword was not yet equal to his eternal pagoda, the pure and overbearing Laws of Destructive Lightning contained within it held immense potential; its future was limitless.
"Another divine artifact?!" The Saint Lord felt the sharp aura emitted by the Thunder Sword, and his heart was filled with even more horror.
One Electrolux possessing a great divine artifact had already caught him off guard. Now, Lei Chen had actually brought out an obviously extraordinary divine sword. Just how deep were the foundations of this Lord of the Douluo Plane?
Before the Saint Lord could think further, Lei Chen had already merged with his sword.
Wearing the Life Guardian Divine Armor and holding the Nine Heavens Thunderstrike Sword, he transformed into a streak of purple-gold lightning, tearing through the sky and heading straight for the Saint Lord!
Before the sword arrived, the sharp sword intent already made the Saint Lord's skin tingle with pain.
With the eternal pagoda suppressing and binding him from the front, and the thunderous strike of the Nine Heavens Thunderstrike Sword from behind, the Saint Lord fell into the most dangerous situation since the start of the battle!
"Get lost!" he roared furiously. Disregarding the cost, he forcibly activated the heavenly saint abyss splitting halberd. A dark purple halberd beam, even more concentrated than before, shot out like a venomous dragon leaving its cave to meet Lei Chen's sword light.
Simultaneously, his figure twisted as he attempted to break free from the eternal pagoda's domain binding.
"Clang—Boom!!"
The sword and halberd clashed once more, but this time, the result was entirely different!
Dazzling lightning erupted from the Nine Heavens Thunderstrike Sword. That lightning, which contained the power of heavenly punishment, had an additional restraining effect on abyssal energy. The moment the lightning collided with the halberd beam, the dark purple light was rapidly melted and purified by more than half, like snow meeting the spring sun!
Although the body of the heavenly saint abyss splitting halberd was undamaged, the energy attack it unleashed was utterly suppressed by the Nine Heavens Thunderstrike Sword. Lei Chen's strike was like a hot knife through butter. After knocking aside the halberd beam, its momentum decreased slightly, but it still accurately pierced toward the Saint Lord's heart!
The Saint Lord's expression changed drastically as he hurriedly brought his halberd back to block.
"Qiang!"
The sword tip struck the shaft of the heavenly saint abyss splitting halberd, producing a piercing metallic ring. A massive, irresistible force mixed with violent lightning power surged through the shaft and slammed into the Saint Lord's body.
"Puff!"
The Saint Lord could no longer suppress his churning blood. He spat out a mouthful of dark purple divine blood, and his body staggered backward like a kite with a broken string, his aura instantly withering.
At the same time, the connection Lei Chen felt from the Douluo Plane became increasingly clear and powerful.
The Golden Ancient Tree was efficiently converting and devouring the majestic energy that Electrolux had brought back earlier—energy originating from the 108th layer of the Abyss and the self-detonations of the three Second-Tier Gods.
This pure primal power was continuously fed back to Lei Chen, the Plane Master, through the planar bond.
As one side waxed and the other waned, the aura around Lei Chen began to climb steadily. The seven-colored divine light became increasingly dazzling and vast, as if it had no end. In contrast, with the continuous loss of the plane's source, the Tian Shen's aura deflated like a leaking bladder, declining uncontrollably.
The scales of victory had completely tilted!
The subsequent battle became almost a one-sided suppression.
Electrolux controlled the eternal pagoda with a steady hand, focusing on suppression, binding, and interference to limit the Saint Lord's movements. Meanwhile, Lei Chen held the Nine Heavens Thunderstrike Sword, pushing the violence and sharpness of lightning power to the extreme, every strike aimed at the Saint Lord's vitals.
The Saint Lord parried left and right, looking utterly pathetic.
Although the heavenly saint abyss splitting halberd was sharp, it was difficult for it to play a decisive role given that Lei Chen relied on the Life Guardian Divine Armor to trade injuries for hits, and the Nine Heavens Thunderstrike Sword's inherent suppression of abyssal energy.
All of this resulted in more and more wounds appearing on the Saint Lord's body. Golden divine blood and dark purple divine power continued to spill, and his aura grew weaker and weaker.
