Chapter 740

The two people in the scene, just from the methods they used a moment ago, are no weaker than the Herrschers. Now that they are getting serious, this kind of aura is simply more terrifying than all the Herrschers throughout history combined.

They find it hard to imagine that a human could rely on themselves to reach such a level.

But when the blood-red color completely obscured the firmament, a touch of golden Buddha light scattered down, dispelling the blood-red from half the sky.

Diluc held a vajra pestle, glaring with rage, as if a Vajra had descended into the world and an Arhat had possessed him.

This place is the true battlefield of Buddha and Demon.

539. The Fateful Duel Between Lumine and Durandal

On the other side, while Diluc and Tartaglia were staging the war between Buddha and Demon.

Durandal, one of the only two core disciples in this Honkai Impact 3rd world, also faced Lumine, who was at the early stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation.

The duel between the two great divine bodies is also the most eye-catching battle at the moment.

But Zhongli and the others do not think Durandal can suppress Lumine, even if Durandal's realm is higher than Lumine's.

In fact, just as Zhongli and the others thought, the moment she faced Lumine, even though she knew the opponent's cultivation was lower than her own.

Durandal had already sensed the indescribable sword intent permeating from Lumine.

I can't beat her...

This concept appeared in Durandal's mind for the first time, and furthermore, it was before they had even made a move, and while the opponent's realm was lower than her own.

Durandal pursed her lips and re-examined Lumine.

Dharma robe, top-grade spiritual artifact Rainbow Feather Garment.

Shoes, middle-grade spiritual artifact Spirit Light Boots.

Hairpin, top-grade spiritual artifact Taiyi Dust-Escaping Pin.

Bracelet, top-grade spiritual artifact...

Gorgeous...

Too gorgeous...

This set of dharma treasures is simply exuding the aura of a nouveau riche at every moment.

Especially the small seal floating above her head and the bell at her waist.

If Durandal saw correctly, those should be the so-called top-grade spiritual artifacts, the Great Wilderness Prison-Suppressing Seal and the Fanxin Bell.

As for the flying sword behind her back.

It is said to be a low-grade treasure artifact re-refined by Jiang Yan's own hands.

Even so, Lumine hasn't shown her full hand; it is said she harvested four top-grade spiritual artifacts from the Dragon Palace, plus the ones Jiang Yan originally gave her.

Plus the ones she chose from the sect treasury before.

And the original sect leader's sword, Summit Shaper, was also handed to Lumine to comprehend sword intent.

Logically speaking, that could also be used.

Thinking about it this way...

She has two treasure artifacts alone, while looking at herself.

She only has two dharma treasures, one is a top-grade dharma artifact given by Himeko, and one is a top-grade dharma artifact she chose from the Sword Forest a few days ago.

Her divine body activation level is also low; Lumine's divine body was fully activated long ago when she was comprehending the Sword Dao.

It is said she has already begun learning the true Divine Sword Thunder-Controlling True Art and the Heavenly Sword Art.

How is this even playable?

For the first time in her life, Durandal felt her own poverty and weakness.

Pursing her lips, Durandal took out her only two dharma treasures and looked at Lumine seriously.

"Please, enlighten me!"

Lumine scratched her cheek in embarrassment and said with a guilty conscience:

"Um... I don't want to bully you with dharma treasures either, but... I still want a good grade."

"The Sect Leader is watching; if I don't get a good grade, I'll be in trouble..."

Durandal shook her head.

"Dharma treasures are also a part of strength, and furthermore, what we are currently conducting is a competition between divine bodies themselves."

"Your foundation is stronger; this is your advantage."

Lumine breathed a slight sigh of relief and looked at Durandal seriously.

"I won't hold back!"

Durandal smiled and said softly:

"Thank you."

The next moment, the two moved simultaneously. Generally speaking, even if Durandal wasn't fully familiar with immortal cultivation yet, her foundation wasn't deep.

But she was, after all, at the middle stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation.

Lumine didn't want to do useless probing, so she struck with the powerful Carefree Divine Sword.

The seal above her head also flew out, suppressing Durandal directly.

The latter stared tightly at Lumine's trajectory, pinched a sword seal, went against the sky, pushed the seal away, and controlled her flying sword to attack Lumine.

The latter was unhurried, casually beckoned, and the seal flew back above her head.

Mysterious yellow light flowed down, echoing with the Rainbow Feather Garment, and a thin light curtain appeared; Durandal's flying sword couldn't even break the defense.

Having failed to land a hit, Durandal didn't drag it out, slid along the momentum, and the second flying sword shuttled toward Lumine.

The latter pinched a sword finger and whispered softly.

"Nine Heavens Mysterious Brake, transform into Divine Thunder, brilliant heavenly thunder, guided by the sword!"

Boom!

A thunderclap that almost shattered the firmament rang out, immediately attracting everyone's gaze.

A boundless thundercloud suddenly spread out within the martial arts array exclusive to the divine bodies.

Dense purple thunderbolts slashed down overwhelmingly, and Durandal was forced to recall her flying sword for defense.

But seeing this situation, Jiang Yan shook his head.

"It's over. Durandal's foundation is still a bit lacking, but... her talent is there."

"To be able to learn Sword-Controlling Demon-Subduing in such a short time shows her outstanding talent."

Fu Hua, who was on the side, was stunned and hesitated:

"Durandal, has she lost already?"

Jiang Yan pointed at Lumine, who was bathing under the ten thousand thunders, looking like a queen of thunder at this moment.

But looking closely, one could see that the purple thunder slashing toward Durandal was actually just dispersed.

Even so, it made her not dare to be careless.

And on Lumine's side...

Countless purple thunders were gathering on her sword.

The light, so brilliant it blinded people, gradually replaced the brightness of the sun.

By the time Durandal reacted and forcibly carried the thunder to pounce on Lumine.

The Divine Sword Thunder-Controlling True Art had completely taken shape.

It could be seen that Lumine was also struggling a bit.

Driving the dharma treasure that controlled the divine thunder, Lumine pointed her fingers like a sword and swung down fiercely.

At this moment, the shadow of death enveloped Durandal from all directions without any blind spots.

Her pupils shrank suddenly, and in a short moment, she pondered countless ways to respond.

But in the end, there was only one result...

She couldn't block it.

Her vision blurred slightly, and when she came back to her senses, Durandal had already been excluded from the array.

"Lumine, wins!"

A cold announcement came, and Durandal took a deep breath, looking at Lumine, whose face was a bit weak.

"Is that... the Divine Sword Thunder-Controlling True Art?"

Lumine casually ate a few pills to recover and nodded:

"Strictly speaking, it's a simplified version. Although I know the true Divine Sword Thunder-Controlling True Art, it requires the Sect Leader's Summit Shaper as a foundation for the sword intent."

"Moreover, if I were to release it, I'd likely have no strength left to fight."
