Chapter 403: The Horn of Counterattack
Boundless Realm.
This is a landmark in the Third Layer World, with an enormous area, as big as a Great Wu, and this is also where the Heavenly Dao prepare an ambush for the Heaven-defiers.
The Heavenly Dao's original plan was to seize a treasure of the Heaven-defiers' high echelon here, drive the Heaven-defiers to desperation, and then take the opportunity to kill a few of them.
But they hadn't yet gotten into position when, by coincidence, Ling led people to slaughter into the Boundless Realm, colliding head-on with the Heavenly Dao.
The two sides already had a grudge, since Supreme Power cannot be cultivated on one's own, so the Heaven-defiers' Supreme Power is basically taken from the Heavenly Dao.
Thus, when these enemies meet, they are especially furious, with no extra words, and they immediately start clashing.
Only the winner has the right to speak.
Li Lun also faced off against a relatively weak Heavenly Dao.
When Shen Qing went to Anna's side, he didn't let Li Lun follow; first, he sent Li Lun to observe the situation on the main battlefield, and second, because Li Lun possesses Karmic Power, he could also serve as Shen Qing's navigation.
Second, Shen Qing truly did not want too many people to know about his Chaotic Power.
Li Lun sliced apart the Heavenly Dao's incoming attack with a single sword, then called out to Shen Qing in the consciousness network.
"Shen Qing! Shen Qing! Can you hear me speaking?"
"The Boundless Realm battle has begun! We're quite far from the original rendezvous point, so you don't need to go there—come straight to me!"
"There are also quite a few Heavenly Dao coming from the other side; conservatively estimated, there are over ten."
Shen Qing's voice sounded: "Alright, I'm done here, I'm on my way over."
After the call ended, Li Lun began to deal with the opposing Heavenly Dao; since he wields Dream Power and lacks sufficient frontal combat strength, he could only hold this Heavenly Dao at bay.
Meanwhile, elsewhere on the battlefield, the Heaven-defiers' combat progress was also not going smoothly.
After all, Ling was a hastily summoned commander; many strong Heaven-defiers couldn't make it in time, and many Heaven-defiers here are even weaker than Li Lun.
At that moment, a Heavenly Dao in the form of a gray light sphere on the opposing side snorted coldly: "Ling, although I don't know where you got your news, isn't it a bit rash to come? You've only brought a few pitiful little fish and shrimp."
This Heavenly Dao is named Shen Ying, and he wields Death Power.
Ling was currently fighting two opponents, about to speak, but a moment of inattention saw him ambushed by a Distorting Power Heavenly Dao from the side; Ling was blown away, but he quickly steadied his stance.
The force of that blow wasn't great, Ling wasn't injured, but it greatly affected morale.
Originally, the Heaven-defiers who came this time weren't strong.
Soon, the Heaven-defiers were suffering successive defeats; compared to some panicked Heaven-defiers, Li Lun was not at all anxious.
Because he knew that three powerful combatants were still rushing to the main battlefield.
Only when those three arrive at the main battlefield will the battle truly begin.
Just as Li Lun was pondering, a scarlet gleam appeared in the dark world at the edge of the Boundless Realm.
The corners of Li Lun's and Ling's mouths both curled upward in an arc.
They're here!
The horn of counterattack is about to sound!
The Death Heavenly Dao Shen Ying noticed Ling's smile at the corner of his mouth: "Ling! Have you lost your mind? What are you laughing at?"
But before his words finished, he understood what Ling was laughing at—a terrifying Sea of Blood was rapidly approaching from the edge of the Boundless Realm.
At every moment, this Sea of Blood can cross endless distances; in the blink of an eye it had already reached nearby, and the towering Sea of Blood gave everyone a sense of oppression.
Chains bearing a tyrannical aura burst forth from the Sea of Blood, instantly binding the Death Heavenly Dao.
The Death Heavenly Dao was caught off guard, and with the chains' strength, he could barely break free for a moment.
At that very moment, Shen Wendao's Dharma Aspect Golden Body rose from the Sea of Blood, an axe flashing with myriad golden light slashing toward the Death Heavenly Dao.
A hiss sounded.
The Death Heavenly Dao was solidly struck by Shen Wendao's axe, and his Death Power dissipated by more than half.
Ling's eyes also lit up: "Did you become this strong in such a short time? Have you perfectly integrated Supreme Power into a new path? It's terrifying!"
The Martial Emperor's Killing Domain and Shen Wendao's Dharma Aspect Golden Body are far stronger than when Ling first met them.
There's no way around it—the Martial Emperor and Shen Wendao are absolute geniuses even in the Third Layer World.
These many Heaven-defiers who have reached the Third Layer World are measured in thousands of years of age, and they still wield Supreme Power.
Yet the Martial Emperor and Shen Wendao were born in the mortal world, and now they are at most thirteen hundred years old, yet their strength exceeds his by more than one tier.
Ling looked at the Martial Emperor: "Brother Zhu, Brother Shen, you've arrived a bit late."
The Martial Emperor said: "Who made you stray from your position?"
Ling chuckled: "We also just happened to run into them; who knew they'd also just entered the Boundless Realm from here."
"Alright, this isn't the time for idle chat—first wipe out this bunch of Heavenly Dao!"
Looking ahead, although the Death Heavenly Dao was somewhat wounded by the combined strike of the Martial Emperor and Shen Wendao, he had recovered, his Death Power surged, and the chains bearing tremendous force creaked, ready to snap at any moment.
The Death Heavenly Dao roared: "Do you think you can kill me!"
"I will kill you all!"
With the Death Heavenly Dao's roar, his Death Power grew ever stronger; the iron chains looked about to break.
From within the Sea of Blood, Shen Qing flashed out: "You're bragging?!"
"I hope your body is as hard as your mouth!"
At the same time, Shen Qing's body blazed like the sun, scorching heat spreading in all directions, and his Slaying Dragon sword was drawn, slicing straight toward the Death Heavenly Dao's wound; the terrifying speed left everyone unable to react, and Shen Qing's speed even surpassed Shen Wendao's.
Hiss!
The Slaying Dragon pierced deep into the Death Heavenly Dao's body, and at the same time, Destructive Power exploded inside him via the Slaying Dragon!
Ling stared blankly: "Oh!"
I had thought the Martial Emperor and Shen Wendao's speed of strengthening was already strong enough, dark enough.
But as soon as I finished that thought, an even darker one appeared; although Shen Qing's strength was far inferior to the Martial Emperor's and the others when we first met, in less than a month he has reached this point.
Shen Qing's recent speed was even something he himself could barely keep track of.
Shen Qing's death power poured unreservedly from the Dragon Slayer into the Death Heavenly Dao's body, and immediately a frenzied explosion erupted, destroying it.
And Shen Qing's other hand couldn't be idle; he directly formed a seal, activating the Heaven-Stealing, Sun-Replacing Technique to begin devouring the death power that the Death Heavenly Dao had leaked out.
After all, Shen Qing still hasn't mastered death power; just looking at it makes him incredibly envious.
After Shen Qing grasped chaos power, he realized that the intensity of chaos power is not fixed; it can be increased.
The more supreme power domains Shen Qing masters, the greater the intensity of his chaos power becomes.
The Death Heavenly Dao's gaze fell on Shen Qing: 'How dare you?'
The Death Heavenly Dao finally came to its senses, death power coalescing into a terrifying attack that shot toward Shen Qing; several surrounding heavenly daos also activated their attacks aimed at Shen Qing, and at that moment, a chain from the Martial Emperor wrapped around Shen Qing's waist, yanking him hard and pulling him out of the danger zone.
A Life Heavenly Dao poured some life force into Shenying: 'Shenying, are you alright?'
After Shen Qing steadied himself, he raised the Dragon Slayer and pointed it at Shenying; the Martial Emperor, Shen Wendao, and Ling instantly understood Shen Qing's intention.
The Martial Emperor's killing intent surged; the sea of blood opened the path, the front line was endless chains; Shen Wendao struck with a killing blow, his axes directly hitting vital points; Ling followed closely, and the Heavenly Eye laser burst forth wildly.
The climax was Shen Qing, his body like a blazing sun, his heartbeat echoing continuously in the sea of blood, his physical power pushed to terrifying extremes.
The four's target was clear: the wounded figure of the Death Heavenly Dao.
Their main tactic: strike while you're sick, take your life!
