North of the Central Domain.
The Spiritual Qi in this area remains turbulent, while the atmosphere carries a potent stench of blood that irritates the nostrils sharply.
Across the ground, scattered corpse fragments embed themselves in crimson pools, causing eyelids to flutter uncontrollably.
At the same time, the aerial clash continues without pause.
Forces from the Three Domains in the Vast Realm have assembled, clashing intensely against the cultivators of the Celestial Fire Realm from the Mountain and Sea Realm; the result appears obvious.
However, as all participants are cultivators with differing powers, even numerical superiority leads to heavy losses on the Vast Realm side amid the Celestial Fire Realm army's frantic resistance.
Right now, Brahma Heaven, serving as the leader of the Celestial Fire Realm's troops, endures despite facing the largest horde of foes thanks to his superior might.
Commanders from the enemy side—Fei Bing, Hua Jieyu, and Qiu Daoyu—unite their efforts, carving through the Celestial Fire Realm's ranks before rushing straight toward Brahma Heaven.
As the trio approaches, Brahma Heaven erupts in flames that scorch the heavens, with scarlet blaze roaring, astonishingly forming a phantom likeness of the Fire God.
Though the phantom lacks sharpness, its facial features burn with ongoing fire, yet the armor details shine with remarkable precision.
Fiery crimson armor of mysterious origin covers the figure, resembling molten godly metal.
The whole phantom looks like a colossal being, clutching a hazy flame blade in its right grip while seizing a huge fiery bow and bolt-thrower in the left.
Evidently, Brahma Heaven's arsenal consists entirely of supreme spiritual artifacts; his sire, Fan City, who holds a position in the top fifty of the Mountain and Sea Realm's Unity Realm, undoubtedly cherishes this heir, equipping him with suitable and affinity-matched superior items.
Once the Fire God phantom manifests, it launches an assault on the approaching trio.
The hazy flame blade slices across the emptiness, while at the same instant, the fiery bow and crossbow ignite, unleashing a barrage of venomous flame bolts that shimmer with icy gleam!
Swoosh, swoosh!
In response to Brahma Heaven's onslaught, Fei Bing, Hua Jieyu, and Qiu Daoyu counter as one.
Fei Bing manifests an archaic frost sword in his grasp, swinging it with an apparent strain on his face, movements dragging slowly.
Nevertheless, along the sword's path, the whole void appears to solidify into frost, massive ice formations akin to peaks emerging and radiating bone-chilling cold.
With further swings, these frost peaks that bind the void extend endlessly, manifesting far off as a frozen ridge chain!
This technique swiftly shatters Brahma Heaven's strike from the Fire God's dark hazy blade.
The hazy blade collides against the ice peaks, failing to shatter them as anticipated, but rather lodging inside them, decelerating from blazing speed to utter stagnation.
Witnessing this scene, Brahma Heaven experiences profound astonishment.
Earlier, his arrogance soared as he commanded the Celestial Fire Realm's forces, believing the foes had retreated in terror of his presence.
Yet, amid the forces' confrontation, upon catching Fei Bing's declaration, he understood the truth differed.
And in this direct clash, Brahma Heaven swiftly senses the formidable might of his adversaries, their power evidently exceeding his own.
His hazy blade has felled innumerable enemies, its mist capable of ensnaring one's Primordial Spirit without fail, but now it fails to pierce the foe's barrier.
"Thud thud thud!"
Brahma Heaven lacks the moment for reflection, as a series of thumps echo near him.
The venomous flame bolts from his fiery bow and crossbow possess not only flame and toxin properties but also self-guiding pursuit that evades barriers.
Moments ago, Brahma Heaven unleashed a volley of a hundred such venomous flame bolts, navigating the void, skirting past the frost peak chain, and targeting the three rivals.
To his surprise, the woman in their midst, with graceful hands mimicking floral plucking, summons a lotus bloom.
This lotus consists of sacred pins forged from floral essences and godly metal, minuscule like sewing needles.
When deployed, every sacred pin disperses, each unfurling a petal illusion, causing the void to erupt in a floral spectacle akin to a hundred blossoms, with sweet aroma spreading wide.
Each floral sacred pin blocks Brahma Heaven's venomous flame bolts, effortlessly annihilating them.
"Sister Hua’s flower divine needles are stronger than before!" Fei Bing exclaimed.
Hua Jieyu ignored Fei Bing's commendation and stated instead, "Brother Qiu Daoyu, we've shattered his offense; it's your move now!"
Qiu Daoyu, dressed in sunset-hued robes, responded curtly, "Leave it to me!"
With those words, Qiu Daoyu abruptly fixes his stare on Brahma Heaven.
Brahma Heaven resides inside the manifested Fire God.
Even though his initial pair of strikes proved futile, he assumed they posed no threat to him.
In truth, sheltered within the Fire God, protected by elite spiritual treasure armor and his personal guard robe, the trio would struggle to breach his safeguards.
But at this juncture, as one of them abruptly eyes him, inexplicably, the space ahead morphs into twin Dharma Eyes, compelling Brahma Heaven to lock gazes unwillingly.
Their sights link, and right away, Brahma Heaven senses a Primordial Spirit assault traversing the void straight at him.
The Fire God's armor along with his guard robe offer no protection, for the rival unleashes a Primordial Spirit assault.
Within a flash, Brahma Heaven perceives his Primordial Spirit cleaved by an invisible edge, reminiscent of reaping time when fields fall to reapers' sickles.
"Clang clang!"
As the strike lands on Brahma Heaven, abruptly, a metallic ring reverberates in his Primordial Spirit, jolting him to instant alertness and breaking the tie with the assailant's Primordial Spirit.
Qiu Daoyu shudders briefly, then breathes a regretful sigh to Fei Bing and Hua Jieyu nearby, "Sorry, I missed; the opponent has a Primordial Spirit defense artifact."
The pair pauses in surprise for a beat, then Fei Bing declares, "No problem, with the three of us present, seizing him is just a question of time!"
