Chen Yuanbiao fought desperately against Lin Ku but was ultimately suppressed. Meanwhile, two powerful enemies attacked Ye Chen. Just as they were about to strike, Ye Chen unleashed a mysterious black pearl, which he then shattered with his sword. This act empowered Ye Chen, and a dark, spectral woman emerged, effortlessly killing the two attackers. This newly appeared woman, Xuan Han Yu, then joined forces with Chen Yuanbiao to attack Lin Ku.
"Curses!" Cangzhou’s Mad Snake bellowed in rage, a colossal shadowy Azure Flood Dragon erupting behind him. It was as if twin cyan suns blazed from his fists, striking with all his might against the Blood Phoenix Sword Energy and the obsidian divine dragon confronting him!
A thunderous impact shattered the Blood Phoenix Sword Energy into crimson light dust beneath Lin Ku’s blow, but alas!
The formidable pitch-black divine dragon latched onto his arm, and the surging sword qi erupted, fiercely agitating Lin Ku’s nerves. A piercing scream tore through the graveyard!
At this juncture, one of Lin Ku’s arms bled profusely, shockingly severed, yet his gaze remained resolute!
Lin Ku swiftly withdrew, a cold sneer playing on his lips: "Woman, you are indeed potent. Regrettably, to sustain your powerful presence, you’ve depleted a significant amount of spiritual energy, haven't you?
In reality, the offensive power you can muster is limited. The spiritual energy from a shard of the Eight Treasures Ghost Buddha Relics isn't quite enough for you, is it? Otherwise, I would have perished from that strike!"
Lin Ku’s eyes widened in disbelief; this woman, akin to a Ghost Cultivator, wielded martial prowess far beyond his grasp!
He had never fathomed that simply employing such spiritual energy could obliterate his all-out punch!
But!
There exists a maxim: overwhelming power can shatter any technique!
Though the woman possesses immense strength, but!
Had a portion of his punch’s force not been dispersed by Chen Yuanbiao, Lin Ku felt assured he could have utterly subdued her!
Xuan Han Yu responded softly: "Annihilating you is sufficient."
Lin Ku chuckled coldly: "Oh? Is that the case?"
Suddenly, a look of fierce determination flashed in his eyes, and he abruptly lowered his voice: "Freedom Heaven, manifest!"
A profoundly potent Heavenly Dao aura, a unique law power exclusive to Lin Ku, accompanied by intense spatial distortions, descended upon the graveyard!
All present felt their surroundings dramatically transform!
For a fleeting moment, they appeared immersed within a vast, boundless ocean!
And deep beneath the sea, the indistinct shapes of colossal dark entities drifted, hinting at the presence of countless terrifying leviathans!
Lin Ku, astonishingly, possessed Freedom Heaven!
This Freedom Heaven can be conceptualized as a miniature realm, and within this dominion, the martial artist commands near-divine authority!
But!
To manifest such a mini-world into reality and draw an opponent within its bounds necessitates an exceptionally terrifying expenditure of spiritual energy, even for a seasoned martial artist!
Lin Ku was committing everything in a desperate struggle for survival!
Hesaving his ultimate trump card!
Instantly, Lin Ku, with the predatory focus of a venomous snake, fixed his gaze upon Chen Yuanbiao. If Chen Yuanbiao were to fall, he was confident he could then exhaust the power of this Ghost Cultivator woman, leaving Ye Chen completely helpless before him, wouldn't that be the case?
Chen Yuanbiao, recognizing the grave peril, immediately understood Lin Ku’s sinister intentions. His expression grew intensely serious, and in the subsequent moment, Chen Yuanbiao also boomed: "Freedom Heaven!"
At once, a torrent of law power and spatial upheaval surged from Chen Yuanbiao, coalescing into an endless azure expanse, directly confronting Lin Ku’s ocean-like Freedom Heaven!
It was akin to the cataclysmic collision of two distinct realities!
However, it was evident that Chen Yuanbiao’s Freedom Heaven was of a lesser quality compared to Lin Ku’s, being forcefully compressed and rapidly diminishing under the onslaught of Lin Ku’s world!
Even Xuan Han Yu couldn't help but knit her brows slightly at this spectacle!
Lin Ku erupted in triumphant laughter, gesturing grandly. The sea churned violently, and countless Dragonslayer Swords roared amidst the surging waves, echoing through the heavens. An innumerable host of azure flood dragons ascended from the depths, charging murderously towards Chen Yuanbiao!
Each descending flood dragon exuded an aura comparable to that of ferocious beasts, like a relentless barrage of cyan projectiles, charging fearlessly forward!
And the sheer number of these flood dragons?!
Potentially exceeding one hundred thousand!
This was no mere illusion!
Within the confines of Freedom Heaven, Lin Ku truly commanded such a heaven-defying might!
Chen Yuanbiao’s body began to quiver precariously as the cries of phoenixes resounded, engulfing the surrounding firmament. Blinding white light erupted, and white-feathered phoenixes descended from the heavens, emitting continuous cries as they launched themselves at the overwhelming multitude of flood dragons!
But...
Whether in sheer numbers or in raw power, Chen Yuanbiao’s phoenixes were outmatched by Lin Ku’s legion of flood dragons!
Xuan Han Yu’s form blurred, her Slaughter Sword swirling around her like a celestial dragon as she plunged into the dragon swarm. With every swift movement, hundreds, even thousands, of flood dragons exploded into crimson rain, but alas!
These hundred thousand flood dragons could not be completely eradicated in an instant!
Amidst the continuous cacophony, the white-feathered phoenixes and the Azure Flood Dragons clashed violently. As the dragon and phoenix forces waged war, Lin Ku’s Freedom Heaven began to show ominous signs of fracture!
Chen Yuanbiao found his entire being disrupted in his breathing, forcing a frantic retreat!
Bang bang bang!
Blood mist billowed from his form, bones splintered, muscles shredded, his entire being saturated in sanguine hues as phoenixes materialized, valiantly confronting the flood dragon's onslaught!
However!
Chen Yuanbiao's countenance grew increasingly severe; he knew, with certainty, that his demise was imminent at this pace!
Meanwhile, Lin Ku's smile widened!
His gamble had paid off!
Employing Freedom Heaven, his spiritual energy was almost depleted by the current confrontation, yet—
As long as Chen Yuanbiao could be slain, victory would be his!
The tides had turned, with Lin Ku suddenly transitioning from a state of disadvantage to one of superiority!
But at this precise juncture, as if a gentle breeze whispered into everyone's ears...
Carried upon the wind was a pronouncement...
A sentence that sent an involuntary chill down their spines!
"The third breath has elapsed; you ought to perish now."
The declaration emanated, of course, from Ye Chen!
Lin Ku's irises contracted violently, his gaze sweeping toward Ye Chen. Yet, what greeted his sight was not Ye Chen's physical presence, but an abyssal, dark luminescence!
This radiance breached the spatial dimensions, piercing directly into Lin Ku's Freedom Heaven!
This dark effulgence was, naturally, the Extinction Divine Light!
While Xuan Han Yu and Chen Yuanbiao were engaged, Ye Chen had not remained idle!
He had meticulously prepared this fatal blow!
For unfathomable reasons, upon beholding this dark beam, Lin Ku's heart throbbed with a potent premonition of doom!
Lin Ku frantically waved his hand, summoning flood dragons before him. Their maws gathered verdant light, unleashing emerald lightning bolts towards the encroaching darkness!
Concurrently, his entire form flickered, attempting a desperate retreat!
But at that critical instant, a shadow materialized with spectral swiftness behind Lin Ku!
Xuan Han Yu offered a faint smile, remarking, "Did I not mention that dispatching you would suffice?"
In the subsequent moment, the Slaughter Sword, hovering nearby, blazed with sanguine radiance, delivering a devastating strike upon the fleeing Lin Ku!
