Saber9's attack could not be said to be weak.
Even though it was a weakened version, in Lin Huang and Virtuoso's opinion, it was at least at half-step lord-level.
When they saw that Nine Gloom's figure had completely vanished and that his aura was completely gone, the first reaction of Lin Huang and the other two was — had Nine Gloom been killed?!
However, a moment later, their expressions changed almost simultaneously, and they looked at a spot on the ground not far away.
A new vine suddenly emerged from the ground, followed by a second vine, a third vine … In the blink of an eye, it consolidated into a humanoid figure.
It was the silver-armored Nine Gloom from earlier!
"I was almost killed …" Silver-armored Nine Gloom could not help exclaiming as soon as his body reformed.
"Sure enough, I've underestimated you." At that moment, his gaze finally rested on Saber9. "However, I don't think you have the strength to unleash an attack of such a level a second time."
Nine Gloom speculated this because he could sense that Saber9's aura was slowly declining. This was a phenomenon that would only occur when Saber9's Divine Power was depleted.
His speculation was not wrong. In fact, Saber9's actual situation was even worse than he had guessed.
Forcefully borrowing the life-saving sword formation that his Primordium had left behind had caused a certain degree of backlash on him.
Right now, not only was Saber9's Divine Power depleted, but his physical body and soul had also reached their limits. His physical body and soul had reached their limits and were on the verge of collapse.
Fortunately, apart from discovering that Saber9 no longer had the strength to fight, Nine Gloom did not notice anything else out of the ordinary.
As for Lin Huang and Virtuoso, they had no idea that Saber9's condition had deteriorated to such an extent after that attack. However, long before Saber9 had attacked, he had already told the two that he only had the power of one sword. Regardless of whether this attack could finish off Nine Gloom, he had no more strength to fight.
Seeing the way Saber9 was looking at him, Virtuoso knew what he meant even without words.
Saber9 had completely lost his combat strength. Their only remaining chance to kill Nine Gloom was to rely on their trump card.
Virtuoso immediately spoke to Lin Huang through voice transmission at this point, "If I use my trump card later and still can't kill him, run as far as you can. Then run as far as you can. Don't worry about us. We have ways to protect ourselves. "
After hearing what Virtuoso said, Lin Huang knew that the two of them had not considered the fact that he still had a trump card. After all, both of their trump cards had been left behind by almighty existences who had surpassed Lords. From their point of view, if their trump cards couldn't kill Nine Nether, then their trump cards wouldn't be of much use.
However, he couldn't help but complain inwardly, This is the Nine Serenities' God Realm. If I really want to escape, where can I escape to?!
Right at that moment, Virtuoso added, "It's highly likely that our life-saving techniques will affect you."
It was only then that Lin Huang understood. He was not told to escape from Nine Nether's pursuit, but to escape from the repercussions of their trump cards.
After briefing Lin Huang, Virtuoso shifted their attention back to Nine Gloom.
The difficulty of dealing with the enemy in front of him had far exceeded his expectations.
Initially, Virtuoso had thought that Saber9's trump card attack, which had been greatly reduced in power, should be enough to kill the fellow in front of him, even if he activated it on his own. Even if he could not kill Nine Nether, it would be enough to injure him severely.
However, from the looks of it now, Nine Nether seemed to be unscathed. Virtuoso had no idea what special technique he had used.
Even after taking a blow from Saber9 that was almost half-step lord-level, Nine Nether's aura showed no signs of weakening at all.
Virtuoso was unsure if their trump card would be able to kill their opponent.
In that short instant, they had thought of many things.
When they lifted their head again and fixed their gaze on Nine Nether, they attacked without hesitation.
They quickly performed complicated hand seals with both hands. At the same time, the mask on their faces began to disintegrate rapidly. They turned into specks of starlight, rapidly consolidating on top of Virtuoso's head.
Lin Huang lifted his head to look, rather surprised. He could vaguely make out that it was a human face with its eyes tightly shut at the moment.
Not long after, the seemingly illusory, gigantic floating human face consolidated completely.
Lin Huang could not help looking at the gigantic face. It was a flawless face; every detail could be said to be exquisite. Even though it had been magnified a hundred times, there was still no flaw to be found. However, Lin Huang could not be sure whether the face belonged to a man or a woman.
Just as the gigantic face consolidated completely, its eyes finally opened slowly.
They were a pair of bluish-black eyes. The moment they opened, Lin Huang seemed to see the entire universe flowing within them. However, when he blinked and looked again, those eyes were completely lifeless. They were extremely indifferent, yet they seemed to be above everything else.
The moment the eyes opened completely, the void in front of the gigantic face's eyes suddenly lit up with a golden gleam.
The golden gleam was estimated to be the size of a grain of sand, or even smaller. The light it emitted was also extremely weak; one could even call it dim.
It gave the impression of a firefly in a summer night, perhaps even fainter.
Lin Huang could not even sense any energy waves emanating from this golden gleam. However, he instinctively sensed that this golden gleam was extremely dangerous and that he should get away from it as soon as possible.
Saber9 was even more direct. He seemed to be aware of the power of this attack, so he moved stealthily and hid behind Virtuoso.
Nine Gloom clearly sensed the danger of this attack as well. Countless vines surged wildly toward Virtuoso and the golden gleam, attempting to interrupt this attack.
However, the strange thing was that his vines pierced through Virtuoso and Saber9's bodies easily. They also pierced through the golden gleam, but they were not affected in the slightest.
It was as if Virtuoso, Saber9, and the golden gleam were merely 3D projections and not real existences.
Nine Gloom did not attack Lin Huang after the fruitless probing attack. He seemed to have thought of something and quickly performed a seal with both hands. Countless black vines swiftly turned into a misty white, stacking and wrapping him up in layers. In the blink of an eye, he had turned into a gigantic white cocoon. There was no telling how many layers he was wrapped up in.
"A defensive soul technique?!" Lin Huang raised his brows under his mask. He finally knew why he had not sensed the Divine Power waves from the golden gleam earlier.
Virtuoso's attack was a pure spiritual attack!
It was precisely because they had noticed this that Nine Gloom had set up a defensive soul stance without hesitation.
Just as Nine Gloom was spinning the cocoon, the golden gleam on Virtuoso's side had been consolidated to its limit.
The golden gleam 'slowly' drifted out like a firefly, then gently sank into the gigantic white cocoon …
Of course, this slowness was only an illusion that Lin Huang and Saber9 felt. In reality, there was no way to evade this attack at all.
Everything — from Virtuoso's voice transmission to Lin Huang telling him to escape, to using their trump card to consolidate the gigantic face, to shooting out the golden gleam — had happened in the blink of an eye, from Nine Gloom extending countless vines to obstruct Virtuoso's attack to Nine Gloom's use of a defensive soul technique to complete the cocoon spinning — everything had happened in the blink of an eye.
After that, Lin Huang saw a dazzling golden gleam rise from the gigantic cocoon.
At first, it looked like sunlight passing through the cracks in an eggshell, but only a few rays of light shone through the gaps in the cocoon. However, a moment later, the gigantic cocoon began to disintegrate rapidly, and countless golden gleams were released from even more places. In the end, the gigantic cocoon disintegrated completely, and the entire world was illuminated by the piercing golden gleam!
"This should be the end of it, right?!" Lin Huang squinted at the source of the explosion of the golden gleam. He could no longer sense any remnants of Nine Gloom's aura.
