Xing Kai's aura fluctuated, and his body arched. His battle form of the god of war collapsed, destroyed by that halberd strike.
His arm trembled slightly, not because of fear, but because of his own defeat.
Ye Futian had destroyed both the god of war seal and the god of war body.
He found it hard to accept such a situation. Had he, a Saint of True Self, really lost to Ye Futian?
The Heaven Punishing Fighting Will was able to push one's spiritual will to the limit, exploding with combat ability that far exceeded one's own. Every single one of his attacks had terrifying offensive power, let alone the god of war seal.
He had such great power, and his plane was higher than Ye Futian's. How could he have lost?
Xing Kai was a descendant of Emperor Zhan. He was destined to become a Renhuang. He was born with the Heaven Punishing Fighting Will. In the era of Emperor Zhan, it was known as the Heaven Punishing Battle Form.
How could he have lost?
How could he have lost?
"Boom." A muffled sound was heard, causing the air to tremble. The roaring crimson flames were suppressed.
Xing Kai looked up and saw Ye Futian step forward. His aura was still growing. Dazzling light flowed around him. It was as if stars were circling around him. He looked so insufferably arrogant with the halberd in his hand. His eyes were filled with indifference, as if he was looking down on Xing Kai.
He wanted him to prepare to die.
The banks of the Crimson River fell silent. Everyone looked at the battlefield.
Did Xing Kai still have the power to fight?
The Ninth Servant was there as well. His expression was calm. This young man from Emperor Xia's Realm was powerful and talented enough to crush Xing Kai. That was an undeniable fact, and he would not deny it.
But to kill Xing Kai?
He had not reached that point yet.
Xing Kai would defend his own life and honor.
He hoped that he would be reborn after this battle.
Even if he had to pay a great price for it, as long as he could defeat himself, it would be a new beginning for Xing Kai.
If he could take this step, Xing Kai would be even more powerful than before. His state of mind would be even more resilient, and he would be able to reach the third level of Saint Plane, the Unblemished Plane.
Any price would be worth it.
This was a battle that Xing Kai was destined to face. Ye Futian, such a dazzling genius, was a gift from the heavens to Xing Kai.
Boom. The muffled sound was still heard. Ye Futian raised his arm as if he could end Xing Kai's life at any moment.
"Buzz." A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky. Ye Futian's body disappeared from where he had been standing. The halberd lashed out, and the dazzling light made it hard for people to open their eyes.
Would Xing Kai be able to withstand such an attack?
"Boom!"
A loud rumble was heard and countless pairs of eyes stared at it.
When they saw the scene in the sky above the Crimson River, many people's hearts began to race.
"This is …"
Everyone saw Ye Futian's halberd thrust straight before Xing Kai. The stars in the sky became one, and the unparalleled attack blasted on that body.
However, Xing Kai was still standing there.
His Life Spirit seemed to be burning. That towering god of war seemed to have been set ablaze with golden divine fire. Streaks of unparalleled light shone within Xing Kai's body. An incredibly terrifying god of protection appeared around Xing Kai's body, looking like a god of war protecting him.
The Heaven Punishing Fighting Will was burning, devouring the power of the great path around them. The boundless flames in the red sky seemed to have been devoured by his body, wrapping around him.
Xing Kai's body was expanding, and cracking sounds were heard from within him. His face twisted, and he roared at the sky, sounding like he was roaring.
"Boom!"
Extremely violent waves of air blasted Ye Futian's body away. His pupils contracted slightly as he stared at Xing Kai's still expanding body.
Cracking sounds continued to be heard. Xing Kai's bones propped up Xing Kai's flesh. His Life Spirit was burning, and his blood and all of the Heaven Punishing Fighting Will were burning.
It was as if Xing Kai was burning his life force to fight at that moment.
An incredibly tall figure of Xing Kai appeared in the sky above the Crimson River. It was as if a true god of war had descended upon the world.
Everyone on the shores of the Crimson River trembled inside. Even the cultivators of the Regional Palace had never seen Xing Kai use such power before.
"He's burning his Life Spirit and the Heaven Punishing Fighting Will to break through the limits of his body and transform into the Heaven Punishing Battle Form," Pei Min murmured. Pei Min murmured, "Xing Kai has been forced to this point, fighting with his life on the line. I'm afraid the toll this battle has taken on him is incalculable. He will pay a terrible price."
"The descendant of Emperor Zhan is not to be underestimated. But even if he wins in the end, it will be a pyrrhic victory. He will not be able to return to his former state without at least a year and a half." Someone else said, "But then again, Ye Futian is in danger."
Many around them fell silent. Xing Kai was indeed very terrifying. Now, he had completely burned all of his potential, which was a disaster for Ye Futian, who was fighting him.
"Boom!"
A loud rumble was heard. Xing Tian stepped into the air, running wildly in the sky.
Heaven and earth shook with every step he took. The Crimson River below roared in a frenzy, and the waters of the Crimson River rushed out like a tsunami, flooding the air and turning into towering waves.
"So fast."
Everyone's hearts trembled. Xing Kai had transformed into the body of a god of war, but his speed and agility were no less than when he was in his original form. It was just that his body had become huge, and his power and defense had been elevated. Just how terrifying was Xing Kai like this?
There was a loud rumble as Xing Kai raised his hand and struck out at Ye Futian. His palm print was the mark of a god of war, and it could wipe out everything in its path and suppress the sky.
Ye Futian's body shone brilliantly. He thrust out with the halberd in his hand, colliding with the palm print in the air. A terrifying power spread out, and the halberd was shattered. But Ye Futian used this power to cross the air and retreat far away, putting some distance between him and Xing Kai.
"How are you going to kill me?" Xing Kai stared at Ye Futian in the distance. His voice seemed to have come from the depths of hell.
Ye Futian had forced him to this point, forcing him to burn himself to fight. After this battle, it would probably take him a year or two to recover. It was even possible that the foundation of the Great Path would be damaged, and his cultivation would regress.
This kind of ability to forcefully transform oneself had terrifying side effects.
But he had to use it.
This Battle of the Crimson River was a battle of life and death. Not even the Ninth Servant could protect him.
If he did not fight, he would die.
Ye Futian was expressionless when he heard Xing Kai's words. He glanced at the towering figure and said indifferently, "How can a defeated general speak of bravery? Even if you burn yourself, you will still die today."
As he said this, the World Tree in his Life Palace swayed, and beams of brilliant light flowed out. His body shone with divine light.
The World Tree and the Deed of Thorough Comprehension seemed to resonate in some way. An even more brilliant halo of the Great Path shone, and a beam of light shot up to the top of the Crimson River.
The Great Path of heaven and earth seemed to have melted into this beam of light at that moment, turning into the same kind of will.
His body was a furnace of the Great Path, melting all the Great Paths in the world.
Voom.
The vast space turned into a starry world. Countless stars spun around his body, and all of the starlight flowed into Ye Futian's body. Under the light of the Deed of Thorough Comprehension, his body turned into the Starry Battle Body.
"Boom!" A towering figure appeared in the air. It seemed to have devoured the Great Path of heaven and earth, gathering the Deed of Thorough Comprehension and the starlight of the Great Path.
"This is the Starry Battle Body."
Some mighty ones of the older generation were shocked. This was the power of Sage Plucking Star.
At that moment, the old man in the crowd looked impressed. He had learned to use it so quickly, and he had melted his own power into it, releasing it perfectly.
"This talent is almost on par with me," he muttered, but the people around him were too focused on the battle, and no one heard him.
Ye Futian extended his hand. Boundless power of the stars coalesced into a huge starry staff, and the entire battlefield shone with dazzling starlight.
A terrifying beam of starlight shot up into the sky. Its power was no weaker than Xing Kai's.
"Boom!"
"Bang."
Two huge figures stepped out at the same time, heading for each other.
Huge waves swept out from the Crimson River, and the sky shook.
Xing Kai's palm shot out in a frenzy. The Starry Battle Body that Ye Futian had turned into swung the starry staff and smashed it out. It was as if he had smashed down stars, bringing down everything in the world.
"Boom!"
A deafening rumble was heard. Destructive halos swept out, and wild hurricanes swept through the surroundings. Many who were watching the battle on the shores of the Crimson River unleashed their own powers to resist the shockwaves.
They seemed to have retreated at the same time, but Ye Futian continued to swing the staff. The staff spun in the air and came crashing down again.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom …"
One staff strike after another. The world seemed to be on the verge of collapsing. Xing Kai roared in rage. He raised his hand and blasted out countless palm prints, drowning the sky.
However, Ye Futian swung the staff in his hand again as he stepped forward. All the stars in the sky rained down, merging into the staff technique.
The palm prints of the great path shattered in a frenzy, and the starry staff came crashing down.
Boom, boom, boom … Loud rumbles were heard as Xing Kai's arm was shattered inch by inch. It was shattered under the attack of the starry staff. His body was thrown back, and he spat up blood.
Ye Futian had no intention of stopping. He took another step forward and swung his staff, hitting Xing Kai in the chest.
Another rumble was heard. Xing Kai's huge body continued to shatter. His bones were broken, and his meridians were shattered.
Xing Kai had already paid a great price to transform into the Heaven Punishing War God. Now that he was being attacked like that, he was already injured beyond repair. Even if he were to survive that day, he would probably be crippled. It was not as simple as just paying a price.
"This is …"
Everyone's hearts beat furiously. They were going crazy.
Xing Kai had transformed into the Heaven Punishing War God, and yet he was still going to be defeated.
Ye Futian swung his starry staff again. If he were to swing it down, Xing Kai would probably be finished right there and then.
"Stop." A dull sound was heard, shaking the sky and earth. It made Ye Futian's movements slow down.
"If he dies, Qianye City will be destroyed," a cold, threatening voice was heard.
While the Ninth Servant did not intervene directly, he threatened Ye Futian with Qianye City.
"Can you?" A cold voice responded. The long staff then came down, chopping down on Xing Kai's head.
Everyone stared at this scene, watching as the long rod smashed down without the slightest bit of hesitation.
The world seemed to have stopped. Everything seemed to have slowed down.
Boom!
A loud rumble was heard as the starry staff came down, smashing down just like that.
