Chapter 297

Any power, before the might of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, was like a brilliant firework—gone in an instant.

Before such overwhelming power, the mages who had no time to flee were torn apart by space itself.

Blood and remains were everywhere across the land—heads, entrails, even shattered white bones—gathered in heaps across the ground.

Some wore mage robes, others dressed in ways that defied description.

Such scenes, displayed on the livestream screen, let every person on the Ishgar continent fully understand just how cruel a true battlefield truly is.

Standing on the main platform, Grandine's eyes were bloodshot,

All of this…

Was caused by him.

If not for him, none of this would have happened, and these people would not have died.

A lingering shadow coiled around his heart, and the remorse within was on the verge of devouring him whole.

"Damn it, this guy is a monster among monsters!"

Bang—!

Releasing a gust of wind to evade the shattering space, Selene stared down at the torn rift below, a tremor running through his heart.

If such power were to land on his own body, even if he didn't die, every bone in his body would shatter.

But just as Selene was marveling at the terrifying destructive force of the Tremor power, the next second he saw the tall figure draped in a white cloak not far away grip his naginata tightly and roar out.

"Sons, do not enter my straight-line range!"

"Buzz—!"

He stepped forward, seemingly to buy his sons some time.

After Bai Huzi walked a few steps forward, he gripped his naginata tightly; a layer of transparent white light shield surfaced on the blade, then with a swing of his arm, he brought the naginata down in one slash upon the mages massing ahead.

Boom—!

The silver-white blade erupted with white radiance, landing upon the atmosphere.

The next second, space along with the earth split apart—one above, one below—instantly becoming two separate layers.

In an instant, it once again claimed the lives of a great number of mages, and shrill screams pierced the heavens.

"Hummmm~~!"

After that strike, Bai Huzi still had no intention of stopping; his right foot stepped forward, and another layer of transparent white light orb surfaced on the blade.

"Whoosh—!"

"Getting serious now? Truly terrifying, but don't think no one can stop you!"

Scorching and heavy magical power gathered in each hand respectively.

Driven by the storm, Selene's figure surged into the sky.

Magical power gathered into a sphere; as his hands came together, two different streams of magical power merged into one, erupting with even more astonishing might.

"Flame Stone Dragon's Falling Star!"

Under Selene's drive, it shot toward the top of Bai Huzi's head like a meteor falling from ten thousand miles above!

"Hmph, brat, wanting to cross hands with me is still too early—come back after another hundred years of training."

Bai Huzi gave a cold snort; with a wave of his right hand, the transparent light orb on the naginata was flung out directly.

Crack—boom!

The two forces collided; the scorching meteor, under the terrifying Tremor power, crumbled apart in the blink of an eye.

Not only was the meteor formed from two streams of magical power shattered to pieces, but Selene himself in midair was blasted flying several hundred meters, slamming violently into the raised sea-surface ground fault, directly smashing out a deep crater.

"Cough cough—! Worthy of being called the strongest man—such terrifying destructive power is almost too astonishing…"

Pulling his right arm free from the soil, Selene climbed out in a sorry state to stand at the edge of the deep crater, looking at the unstoppable Bai Huzi, a shade of gloom surfacing in his eyes.

One must understand that he had already activated 'Three Dragon Mode' and still could not withstand the other's power—just how terrifying was this guy?

"Buzz!"

After blasting Selene away, Bai Huzi clenched his left fist tightly, and a tremor force far surpassing the previous one surfaced in his hand.

"Brat, it's time for you to exit the stage."

"Don't get cocky, Bai Huzi!"

Hearing this, Selene's face darkened as he leapt into the sky.

"The real battle only begins now!"

"Four Dragon Power, activate!"

The moment the words fell, four streams of Long Zhili surged forth from within Selene's body.

Wind, fire, rock, and ice gathered together at once; along with the emergence of this power, dragon-scale patterns gradually surfaced on Selene's face as well.

Long Zhili!

The advanced power of Dragon Slayer Magic, drawing closer to the might of a true dragon.

There are two ways to activate Long Zhili!

The first is through magical power devouring—absorbing magical power of the same attribute to amplify one's own strength and forcibly activate it.

The second is through his own cultivation, raising the total amount of his magical power to an extremely high level; upon reaching this level, Long Zhili can be activated at will.

Able to become one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar, Selene's depth of magical power far surpasses that of ordinary people, naturally allowing him to activate Long Zhili with ease,

"I have to admit, being forced to use Long Zhili—Bai Huzi, your strength truly exceeds my imagination."

"But the moment I unleash this power, this battle is already over!"
