Seeing Fang Xingjian's conjured physique slowly gather and condense, the Heavenly Lion King's disdainful look grew even more intense.
"Having brute force but not knowing how to put it to good use... It seems that I should change my decision and just kill you."
However, the Heavenly Lion King did not know why he still felt an intense sense of danger from his Sudden Inspiration despite definitely having the upper hand in this situation.
As time flowed, that sense of danger grew increasingly stronger.
'What on earth is happening?
'Is someone going to launch a sneak attack on me?
'Someone from the Mage Association?
'Has the Black Mage King come?'
The Heavenly Lion King frowned. Then at the next moment, his eyes narrowed as he looked toward his chest in disbelief. A large hole had been opened in the Heavenly Lion Clone's chest. The Heavenly Lion King did not understand how he had gotten injured even after the injuries appeared.
'Who is attacking me?'
Golden martial will scattered out wildly in all directions, and the entire world started to tremble under the golden light. However, there was nothing found in the areas where the golden light passed by. There were no enemies or attacks.
'This is impossible. What is going on?
'These are the Heavenly Lion's remains—the corpse of a tier six Divine level beast. Moreover, it has been refined by me for so many years, and I've used so much heavenly and earthly treasures on it...
'It's impossible for ordinary attacks to pierce through this body.
'But why is it that I can't detect any attacks?
'Why?'
The Heavenly Lion King's expression turned extremely grim. However, no matter how hard he tried to discern the situation by sending his martial will sweeping through the world and having the atmosphere circulate within a range of several hundred kilometers, he was still unable to detect the existences of any attacks.
The only thing he could sense was a feeling of danger that was growing increasingly stronger. It was like a civil defense siren which kept on ringing in his mind.
'This can't go on anymore.'
The Heavenly Lion King let out a furious bellow and slapped his hands together. Then his surroundings became covered by endless stretches of distorted space. He kept on using Spatial Translocation to move the space around him, wanting to deflect any attacks coming his way.
However, despite all these, the warning signals in his heart still did not stop. Instead, they became even more intense.
'What's going on?
'What attack is it?'
At the next moment, his head suddenly exploded. It seemed to have been sliced up by countless sharp swords in that instant and then turned into endless light spots.
The reason the Heavenly Lion King could not detect any attacks was naturally that he had unknowingly been struck by Fang Xingjian's illusory arts and had completely lost the senses over the outside world.
All that he saw, sensed, and heard, were all things that Fang Xingjian wanted to show him.
Under everyone's gaze, the chaotic-colored currents around Fang Xingjian swelled up and shattered the Universal Prestige completely.
Then, Fang Xingjian's sword finger moved about, and streams of sword sounds rang out through the skies.
"Receive my sword attack."
Rumble! The Thunder Calamity, that had been refined from scratch, flashed slightly. It sent a stream of white air current cutting through the sky and shooting toward the Heavenly Lion Clone. Then it circled around the Heavenly Lion Clone, as if accumulating power and also waiting for an opportunity.
"It's useless," Prince Zuoxian said while shaking his head and smiling coldly. "The Heavenly Lion's remains were refined from a tier six Divine level corpse. Moreover, a lot of effort has been devoted into reinforcing it over so any years. Just regarding the Divine level ferocious beasts alone, over ten of them were used. This is without even mentioning the other rare materials.
"Even if the Heavenly Lion Clone doesn't dodge, Fang Xingjian won't be able to do anything..."
However, before Prince Zuoxian even finished his words, a beam of silver light had pierced through the Heavenly Lion Clone's body at the next moment, leaving a huge hole in its chest.
"What?!" Prince Zuoxian looked at this scene in disbelief.
Right after, silver light flashed once again, crushing the Heavenly Lion Clone's body into dust.
By reforging the Heaven-Connecting Upper Extremity Sword Physique, it refined the microparticles that formed the sword's body and made them extremely compact. Under the effect of the force field formed from nuclear forces, all of the Thunder Calamity Sword's microparticles in the microscopic world were densely packed together, forming an absolutely smooth and shiny surface.
The strength of the material was comparable to that of a neutron star in the universe. Even if it was placed in the deepest spot of a star, it would not be damaged in the least.
Right now, the four Divine Swords that Fang Xingjian had could be said to be unparalleled in terms of the materials they were constructed from.
Additionally, these Divine Swords had been pushed into action by Fang Xingjian with his martial will at 5,200 points. How terrifying would their damaging prowess be?
The Heavenly Lion Clone was as weak as a piece of tofu before the Thunder Calamity. A myriad of silver lights flashed, slashing the Heavenly Lion Clone's body into tiny fragments.
Roar! An enraged roar rang out, and golden light soared into the sky. The Heavenly Lion Clone condensed its will once again, reassembling its conjured physique.
However, before the reassembly was complete, Fang Xingjian was already holding the Thunder Calamity and was slashing it downward.
At that instant, the entire world seemed to seethe. In everyone's eyes, the entire world seemed to have been split into two by this sword attack.
From the spot where Fang Xingjian swung the sword, everything was cut up wherever the sword Qis passed by. All substances had the connections of their heavenly thunders and terrestrial magnetism forces cut off. Everything was cut into two, leaving behind a vacuum passageway.
The All-Conquering sword intent crossed a distance of several hundred kilometers, and everywhere it passed by—be it the cloud layers, mountains, the earth, or forests—everything would be split into two.
The Heavenly Lion Clone, which had faced the greatest of the impact, was also split into two with a loud bang.
Then Fang Xingjian stirred fiercely with the Thunder Calamity in his hand.
As his arms trembled, streams of air currents gushed out, and the air that the Thunder Calamity passed through formed a myriad of shock waves. As the tip of the sword trembled, it was as if even the space itself had turned into shattered fragments.
Everything within the reach of the longsword was wiped out, and even the light rays disappeared. Within the reach of the longsword, the Heavenly Lion Clone's body was encompassed by darkness.
By the time the darkness dissipated and the Thunder Calamity came to a stop, the Heavenly Lion Clone had already been slashed into a myriad of light spots.
"How could this be?" Prince Zuoxian could not believe this.
The Sacred Fire Order's Patriarch and female Saint stared at Fang Xingjian with their eyes wide open and mouths agape.
No one could have imagined that the Heavenly Lion King—who had displayed the Spatial Translocation ability and the Heavenly Lion Clone, and thus should have the absolute upper hand in this situation—would be pushed back repeatedly by Fang Xingjian in just a short moment.
Prince Zuoxian and the others were not the only ones who were in a daze. In the Imperial Capital, the Fourth Prince and the others were also in an astonished state.
The First Prince's mouth was agape, unable to close up. It seemed that he could not understand how the Heavenly Lion Clone could be so weak as to be unable to stand against Fang Xingjian.
Prince Philip also wore an astonished look. His son, Richard, and his granddaughter, Sally, were completely dumbstruck. They could not believe that everything they were seeing right now was actually real.
'Fang Xingjian... actually managed to completely suppress the Heavenly Lion King... completely suppress an expert who could use Spatial Translocation...' Richard was stunned. 'Unbelievable, this is simply too unbelievable. How on earth did he do that? He should only be at tier four of the Divine level, right?'
Everyone looked at the Fang Xingjian in the sky with their eyes wide open and mouth agape. They saw Fang Xingjian holding the Thunder Calamity, chasing after the Heavenly Lion Clone and slashing time and time again. His sword slashes reached over ten kilometers outside of the sky above the Imperial Capital and crushed the Heavenly Lion Clone over 20 times.
That scene was like a mother chasing after her son and whacking him with all her might after accidentally coming across his failed test papers hidden under his bed. The Heavenly Lion Clone kept crying out but was unable to retaliate at all.
Everyone present was in a state of silence, unable to find any words to describe the astonishment in their hearts.
