(PS: This is the second update on the 24th.)
Zhou Haosheng's face was livid as he activated the Soul Brocade Banner and attacked Luo Zhiyuan with all his might!
Boundless darkness covered the void, and the chaotic space-time turbulence seemed to have fallen into darkness at this moment.
The radiance and heat had all disappeared, leaving only an extreme chill in the void.
It was as if the universe had come to an end, and everything had returned to a cold and deathly stillness. It was also as if the universe was in primordial darkness at the beginning of the world.
The next moment, the primordial darkness was destroyed, and the first light bloomed!
The Dim Darkness Sect's supreme martial art, Primordial Darkness Extinguishing!
This strike of Zhou Haosheng's at full power was aimed at Luo Zhiyuan's vital point, helping the Dim Darkness Adept and the Dim Radiant Lamp out of their predicament.
However, the golden armour on Luo Zhiyuan's body lit up. The mid-grade Sacred Artifact, the Inextinguishable Radiant Armour, forcibly withstood Zhou Haosheng's full-powered attack with the Soul Brocade Banner.
As for himself, he did not stop. The Sun Moon Wheels locked the Dim Darkness Adept and the Dim Radiant Lamp in place before he continued with his third move.
Luo Zhiyuan's index and middle fingers formed a sword, and he executed the Instant Radiant Sword at lightning speed, tapping towards the forehead of the already injured Tenebrous Adept.
If this sword struck, Tenebrous Adept would die immediately.
The Tenebrous Paragon barely managed to raise her hand to block Luo Zhiyuan's Instant Radiance Sword. Her palm was pierced through by Luo Zhiyuan's finger.
Zhou Haosheng, on the other hand, used the Ghost Brocade Banner as a spear. The tip of the spear swirled with an indestructible radiance, bombarding the Inextinguishable Light Armor.
The boundless radiance was instantly extinguished!
The mighty mid-grade Sacred Artifact, the Inextinguishable Radiant Armor, was directly destroyed by Zhou Haosheng and the Soul Brocade Banner's full power attack!
A mid-grade Sacred Artifact was completely destroyed!
However, the Inextinguishable Light Armor had bought Luo Zhiyuan sufficient time. The Instant Light Sword transformed into the Great Light Blade, brazenly chopping off the Dim Darkness Adept's arm that was gripping the Dim Radiant Lamp!
All the Dim Darkness Sect martial practitioners let out enraged howls, watching helplessly as the Dim Radiant Lamp that was about to be refined by Zhou Haosheng lost its owner once more.
The dark runes on the surface of the Dim Radiant Lamp rapidly dissipated like the ebbing tide of the sea.
Yan Zhaoge circulated his true essence, all of it connected with the Myriad Dragon Palace and the stone door behind him as he was unable to divert his attention to other matters.
The light dragon formed of the Myriad Dragon Palace had already virtually completely merged with the stone door.
Yan Zhaoge's expression was calm and heavy as he focused on the battle.
Having paid the price of a mid-grade Sacred Artifact, the Dim Darkness Sect's half-a-step lead had been overtaken by the Radiant Light Sect!
After Zhou Haosheng destroyed the Inextinguishable Light Armor, he immediately attacked again, continuing to attack Luo Zhiyuan.
However, the Golden Wheels of Sun and Moon, which had become idle, once again shone with boundless light, blocking Zhou Haosheng's path.
This time, Zhou Haosheng wouldn't be able to break through the enemy's defense so easily.
Luo Zhiyuan forced back the already heavily injured Dim Darkness Adept with another move before grabbing the Dim Radiant Lamp with one hand.
In an instant, the dark runes dispersed, and the radiant runes spread rapidly on the surface of the Dim Radiant Lamp!
"The Holy Weapon that the Celestial Thearch always carried with him … I've finally obtained it!" Luo Zhiyuan faced the sky and let out a long roar. The Sun and Moon Wheels turned back into a golden sun and a silver moon, shining above his head as if they would never be extinguished.
Despair and unwillingness appeared within the eyes of Zhou Haosheng and the other Dim Darkness Sect martial practitioners.
He had worked so hard, only to end up benefiting the Radiant Light Sect!
How could they resist the Radiant Light Sect that possessed two high-grade Sacred Artifacts?
The tables had turned, with the offensive and defensive positions of the two sides reversed as the initiative had completely changed hands. Now, the Radiant Light Sect was in the lead.
Now, Zhou Haosheng and the others had to interfere and prevent Luo Zhiyuan from refining the Dim Radiant Lamp.
However, with the protection of the Sun and Moon Wheels, the difficulty of this would be much higher than when Luo Zhiyuan had won the lamp earlier.
Luo Zhiyuan was in no rush to act against Zhou Haosheng at all now. He was already firmly in a position of invincibility. He would only need a short moment's time before he would be able to refine the Dim Radiant Lamp.
The Radiant Light Sect who held the advantage in strength in the first place would directly suppress the Dim Darkness Sect martial practitioners here, completely slaughtering Zhou Haosheng and the others without any suspense whatsoever!
Zhou Haosheng's eyes seemed on the brink of imploding. Yet, he had to consider a very practical problem.
Currently, they virtually had no hope of breaking through the defences of the Sun and Moon Wheels before Luo Zhiyuan refined the Dim Radiant Lamp.
With that, they could only watch on as Luo Zhiyuan refined the Dim Radiant Lamp. After that, all the Dim Darkness Sect martial practitioners, Zhou Haosheng included, would definitely die a tragic death.
Then, should they make use of the time that Luo Zhiyuan was still refining the Dim Radiant Lamp to retreat, leaving the Dim Radiant Mausoleum amidst space?
To the Chief of the Dim Darkness Sect, this would undoubtedly be a humiliating choice to the extreme.
As he refined the Dim Radiant Lamp, Luo Zhiyuan smiled coldly at Zhou Haosheng and the others, "Your only choice is to flee now. Perhaps you might still have a way out of this."
"However, your Dim Darkness Sect's main altar has already been destroyed. There is no place left for you to hide. This sect can find you at any time. Let's see how long you can hide for!"
"Traitors of the Dim Darkness Sect, the day of your destruction has arrived!"
He gazed at the surroundings, sighing towards the heavens, "The relics of the Emperor belong to our sect. The Emperor's mausoleum will be consecrated by our sect in the future. As a direct lineage of the Emperor's lineage, now is the time for heavenly justice. If the Emperor knows of this in the afterlife, he will also be pleased with us descendants, cleaning up the sect for him, slaying you traitors!"
The faces of Zhou Haosheng and the other Dim Darkness Sect martial practitioners were livid, while the Radiant Light Sect martial practitioners were in high spirits.
After so many years of conflict, victory was finally about to be decided today!
Looking at the Dim Radiant Lamp in Luo Zhiyuan's hands, Yan Zhaoge knit his brows slightly as well.
"Little thief, it is for the best that you are here as well." Luo Zhiyuan's gaze now turned to look at Yan Zhaoge, icy cold to the extreme, "We never had the time to deal with you before, instead allowing you to run amok, repeatedly spoiling the major matters of our sect, even killing many of our martial practitioners."
"I also have to admit that I have never seen a martial practitioner of the first level of the Martial Saint realm who could cause such a great disturbance as you. Still, it is still too early for you to want to go against our sect. The reason you have been able to roam free and unfettered until now is not because of your own ability, but because our sect has never truly spent our energy on you."
Luo Zhiyuan said coldly, "From now on, your good luck ends."
He tilted his head slightly, "Junior apprentice-brother Guo, this matter arose because you valued a youth of the Eight Extremities World. That disciple of yours who has yet to enter our sect has long since died at the hands of this kid. Now, it is up to you to deal with him."
A Radiant Light Sect Elder whose entire body was illuminated by radiance forcibly traversed the chaotic flows of space, walking towards Yan Zhaoge step by step.
One of the bigwigs of the Radiant Light Sect, the Lord of the Eternal Light Hall, Guo Song, was a mid Seeing Divinity Martial Saint.
If Huang Jie had come to the World beyond Worlds in the past, he would have been destined to become his disciple.
Looking at the other party's hawk-like gaze, Yan Zhaoge raised his brows slightly, "This is the third time we've met."
When Yan Zhaoge had informed the anti-Xuan coalition about the Grand Xuan Dynasty's retreat earlier, he had met Guo Song during the confrontation with the Radiant Light Sect martial practitioners.
Still, only now did he know that he was Huang Jie's Master in the World beyond Worlds' Radiant Light Sect.
Guo Song said lightly, "This is also the last time."
He stared at Yan Zhaoge with a gaze that was like that of a hawk's, "A youngster even more outstanding than Huang Jie, Huang Jie dying at your hands is not in vain. However, a youngster like you who doesn't know the difference between life and death, dying at this old man's hands is even less in vain."
With that, he slammed a palm down towards Yan Zhaoge, immeasurable radiance illuminating the surrounding space!
Yan Zhaoge was neither shocked nor afraid as he smiled calmly, "You think too much."
With a thought, he retreated.
The stone door behind him suddenly opened! (To be continued.)
