Chapter 524 - 318: Defense Broken
Countless cyan rays of light flickered rapidly, forming a massive, impenetrable shield within a hundred-meter radius of Yang An.
When the flames made contact with the shield, they were all repelled. Not a single one could get near Yang An.
The deflected flames shot off in other directions, burning through large swathes of space and leaving behind cracks of pure nothingness.
Initially, Yang An had only wanted to test merging the cyan light of his Treasure Light Glaze Purification Technique with the Spiritual Light Net. He never expected the experiment to be so effective.
It seemed that not only had his combat power increased, but the Techniques he had already mastered had also been significantly amplified.
Countless flames assailed him once more, shooting forth from the Flame Giant’s massive body, but they were utterly unable to get near Yang An.
Completely blocked by the Spiritual Light Net, the scene from a distance looked like a colossal Flame Giant venting its fury, frantically attacking a huge cyan sphere, yet completely unable to breach its defenses.
Meanwhile, He, who was inside the Flame Giant, was just as stunned by this turn of events.
His Purple Fire was a flame mutated by his own Power of Rules. It could even scorch space itself. An expert of the same realm, even a Boundary Repairer from the Earth Immortal Dao Sect, would be utterly destroyed if they were careless enough to be touched by it.
Yet, his Purple Fire couldn’t get anywhere near Yang An. It couldn’t even touch him.
’Cyan light?’
’Could this be the true Power of Rules he obtained?’
Before He could puzzle it out,
the next moment, within the giant cyan sphere of flickering light, a Light Giant of a similarly massive, dozens-of-meters-tall frame emerged!
The giant’s body radiated cyan light. With a sudden stomp that made the very earth tremble, it instantly charged toward He’s Flame Giant.
The Purple Fire that landed on its body was deflected harmlessly. In the blink of an eye, the Light Giant was before the Flame Giant, and the massive cyan sphere instantly enveloped them both!
The Light Giant drove a fist into the Flame Giant’s head, punching through it with ease. The terrifying Purple Fire had no effect on the Light Giant whatsoever. It was as if, even as its fist pierced the Flame Giant’s head, an insulating field existed between them.
Because of this, the Light Giant immediately unleashed hundreds of punches in an instant. The speed and power of light were pushed to their absolute limit. Every fist landed with unerring precision on the Flame Giant’s massive body, scattering its flames completely.
The raging inferno that was the Flame Giant collapsed in an instant. Sparks rained down across the wilderness, igniting everything they touched and creating a monstrous sea of fire in a flash.
The moment the Flame Giant collapsed, the Light Giant seized its chance. Its hand shot out, accurately snatching He, who had been inside the fiery construct, and clenched its fist around him.
"Is that all?"
A disdainful voice echoed from within the Light Giant. Yang An now looked down on He like a lofty god, adopting the very same contemptuous air He had displayed just moments before.
But he didn’t wait for a response. As it held He in a vice grip, countless rays of light shot through the Light Giant’s own palm, piercing through He’s body as well, before detonating in a brilliant flash.
The massive shockwave made heaven and earth shudder. All of the power was concentrated, exploding within He’s body. This wasn’t just the cyan light; it was every Light Magic Technique Yang An had mastered, all fused into the Spiritual Light Net and detonated inside He, guided by Yang An’s own Power of Rules.
In that instant.
Cyan! Red! White! Black! Gold!
A spectacular, multicolored radiance exploded between heaven and earth.
’Die!’
Yang An wasn’t letting any opportunity slip by. Now that He was within his domain, he seized the moment and unleashed every single weapon in his arsenal against him.
Caught completely off guard, He’s physical body was torn to shreds in the grip of the Light Giant. For the first time, a muffled groan of pain escaped his lips.
"You’re courting death!"
Flesh and blood dissolved in the Light Giant’s palm, only to rapidly regenerate on He’s mangled torso.
The light annihilated everything in its path, but He was still He. In the end, this Boundary Repairer from the Earth Immortal Dao Sect was the more powerful of the two.
He made no effort to hide it now. An enraged roar erupted from his lips. He genuinely wanted to kill Yang An, and his previous lofty demeanor twisted into a state of pure frenzy.
But that very arrogance was now being mocked by Yang An, and the damage inflicted upon him felt like an immense humiliation.
’Who is he?’
’He is a Boundary Repairer from the Earth Immortal Dao Sect, the leader of the Five Great Celestial Sects!’
’He hadn’t lost to Yang An. It was impossible for him to lose to Yang An.’
But Yang An’s attitude, combined with the wretched state he had just been reduced to, was enough to completely break his composure.
In an instant, countless flames erupted from He’s body, instantly surging up the Light Giant’s arm and engulfing its entire form.
At the same time, a torrent of more flames, like molten lava, burst out from Yang An’s Spiritual Light Net and began to burn ferociously across the wilderness, between heaven and earth.
In the blink of an eye, the entire wilderness for thousands of meters was transformed into a raging sea of fire.
Unlike the Purple Fire from before, these new flames were not repelled. The moment they touched the Light Giant, they set it ablaze, and its body began to melt rapidly.
’Die!’
His face a mask of insanity, He instantly appeared before Yang An’s true body. He completely ignored the fact that the Light Giant had not yet fully melted and that he was still within the domain of the Spiritual Light Net. He thrust a hand out to grab Yang An.
’I have to flay this bastard alive, torture him to death!’
’I’ll make him understand the price a mortal pays for blaspheming a god! Nothing less will quell the hatred in my heart!’
’I won’t kill him. I’ll make him wish for death—a fate more terrifying than death itself!’
He even looked forward to seeing the expression of terror on Yang An’s face.
But just as his hand was about to touch Yang An, an inscrutable smile spread across Yang An’s face—a smile filled with unconcealed contempt. The next instant, as He watched with eyes wide with fury, Yang An’s figure vanished. At the very moment He’s hand was about to close around his neck, Yang An’s presence disappeared completely.
His hand closed on empty air!
RUMBLE!
Endless flames raged and exploded across the wilderness, incinerating everything within their reach.
"Where did you go?!"
"Where did you go?!"
"Get out here! GET OUT!"
He frantically searched for any trace of Yang An’s figure or aura, venting his rage as endless flames erupted from his body.
But Yang An had vanished without a trace, leaving not a single wisp of his aura behind.
He’s figure flickered across the wilderness, disappearing and reappearing as he teleported thousands of meters in the blink of an eye. He searched frantically throughout the entire Forbidden Land Core, recklessly triggering its latent Power of Rules without a second thought.
But even so, he could not find Yang An.
As if realizing something, He shot off toward the edge of the Forbidden Land Core. His figure vanished, but the fires on the wilderness continued to burn, seemingly eternal.
At that very moment, within a gray, desolate world, Yang An’s figure suddenly materialized from the void, appearing next to a bonfire.
He let out a long breath, his Heart pounding in his chest, but an unconcealed smile spread across his face.
’This time, he had won!’
