Chapter 1553: It

"Watch out!"

Suddenly, Xihua's voice rang out.

A black spear shot forward, piercing straight into Lin Yan's flames.

This black spear carried terrifying energy.

Under the spear's assault, Lin Yan's flames shuddered violently, then weakened at a visible rate.

"Die! You have no idea how to truly use this spear!"

The shadow's roar echoed.

This thing had seized the moment when Lin Yan was lost in thought, forcibly yanking the black spear from its own body and launching a brutal strike at Lin Yan.

With this creature's grip, the black spear's power far surpassed what it could achieve in Lin Yan's hands.

In Lin Yan's hands, the black spear had merely served as a piercing tool.

The shadow's defense was monstrous—indeed, had Lin Yan not known its weakness, it would have been flawless!

Even the black spear could not pierce its skin.

No, it had no skin—it had a shell.

The shadow and the black spear were both born of this world.

One was forged by the world's light, the other by its darkness.

They were like spear and shield, each unable to overcome the other.

Yet, it ultimately had flaws.

That was how Lin Yan had used the spear's unmatched sharpness to pierce it in one strike.

But though the black spear was sharp, its lethal power was not solely in its sharpness.

In the shadow's hands, this black spear became truly terrifying.

One thrust—silent, yet making the entire dark universe tremble—as if the spear could pierce through this broken universe in a single strike.

The black spear carried energy capable of annihilating the world with ease!

Now, the shadow had turned this attack upon Lin Yan alone!

Using power enough to destroy the entire world, it aimed to destroy Lin Yan!

"Die!"

The shadow roared again in frenzy.

The black spear drove deeper into Lin Yan's flames; his once all-encompassing fire shrank rapidly, dwindling in an instant to a tiny cluster.

Under the spear's assault, the flames seemed to face a flood surging from the entire world, swaying wildly, on the verge of extinction!

Beside them, Xihua's expression changed.

If she had faced this strike with the black spear, she could not have withstood it!

She could not possibly have withstood it!

She surged her power and launched an attack at the shadow.

"Hahaha, you cannot save him."

The shadow gripped the spear, determined to extinguish Lin Yan's flames entirely, while its other fist slammed toward Xihua. Even though she had summoned all her strength, her power was far diminished from before.

Yes, after a thousand years of war, Xihua's power had declined greatly.

Yet after being wounded, the shadow grew fiercer with every battle!

"Boom!"

The two forces collided; Xihua was blasted back by the shadow's fist, her face turning pale once more.

She surged her power again and charged at the shadow.

"I said—you cannot save him!"

The shadow roared, driving Xihua back once more.

Xihua, however, no longer spared her strength, striking relentlessly.
