Chapter 340: Kill

Jiang Xia watched as a shadow as huge as a mountain pressed down, slowly raising his right hand encased in golden armor.

Countless microscopic particles converged toward Jiang Xia's right hand at an inconceivable speed in that instant.

Blinding gold light burst from his hand, the surrounding air instantly becoming turbulent, heat and gale converging in Jiang Xia's palm.

"Thud thud thud!"

A sound like a heartbeat burst from Jiang Xia's hand, and the gold light extended silently.

The light, like woven threads, peeled off from the sword blade in a spiral bit by bit; fire light flowed along the blade, together forming the intricate, shining pattern on the blade.

Pale gold light rose from all directions, sky, earth, and sea converging together.

The sword blade, originally only the length of Jiang Xia's arm, instantly began to expand, forming a pillar of light piercing heaven and earth.

In a short time, a weapon perfectly suited to all of Jiang Xia's abilities appeared out of nowhere in his hand.

Da Gu Ba rushed up to Jiang Xia, the ancient heavy sword on his right hand slashing down fiercely at his body.

The huge horse simultaneously raised its hooves, letting out a thunderous roar, and fiercely kicked at Jiang Xia.

"Crack!"

At that moment, the huge horse's head exploded violently, blood spraying everywhere.

Because Jiang Xia's other hand instantly pierced the huge horse's head, then exerted force, directly overturning that mountain-like horse onto the ground.

Jiang Xia aimed at the incoming great sword, flicked his wrist, and directly met it with the sword in his hand.

The two massive sword blades collided instantly, gold‑yellow thunder and deep‑black Electric Arc rapidly striking in the air, forming a huge energy field where elemental turbulence of all kinds collided.

"Boom!"

In the flash of lightning and fire, the two had already clashed many times; amid countless collisions, the great sword in Da Gu Ba's hand snapped with a sound, a tearing noise bursting from his body.

Da Gu Ba's giant‑like body burst with countless black‑red blood blossoms, thick blood spraying from his sturdy frame.

As it fell to the ground, it was ignited by the surrounding flames; that oil‑like blood instantly scorched the nearby sand and stone into a white expanse.

"Hahaha, this is real battle!" Da Gu Ba laughed wildly.

Jiang Xia casually plunged his now‑dimmed sword into the ground to stop himself from retreating further.

He looked at the disheveled Da Gu Ba, abandoned his sword, and clenched his fists.

To completely kill Da Gu Ba, one must simultaneously destroy the spirit stone on his chest and the beast‑shaped belt at his waist.

The sword is not fit to decide victory; my pair of fists is now more useful than the sword.

"Ha!"

The two charged forward again; this time there were no accidents, no special abilities remained—only the most primitive melee combat.

"Thump thump thump!"

The originally dark‑gold armor had been dyed red by blood; both sides' bodies repeatedly suffered injuries to viscera, bones, and so on.

But such minor fatal wounds are utterly insignificant.

Regenerative power beyond limits frenziedly repaired the body's injuries, mending the shattered heart, bones, and various organs turned to mush.

Forcing them to heal quickly so they could regain their proper functions.

I don't know how long they fought, but Da Gu Ba's mad grin gradually faded.

A large mouthful of blood suddenly spurted from the mouth beneath his platinum iron mask, spraying directly onto Jiang Xia's chest.

Jiang Xia suffered no effect; even if his face was splattered with blood, he kept his expressionless visage.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he found the moment to completely kill Da Gu Ba.

"Boom!"

Jiang Xia's fists bombarded Da Gu Ba's chest and abdomen; the defense that could not be broken when using the ultimate Void, with the spirit stone's energy nearly exhausted, his full‑force strike of the super‑elevated Void instantly inflicted terrifying cracks on the spirit stone and belt.

Just like glass suddenly shattering, the spirit stone on Da Gu Ba's chest cracked with a sound and shattered; the imperfect spirit stone that had held on until now was already at its limit.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Da Gu Ba clutched his chest; the intense pain nearly halted his movements, while the abundant power within him receded like a tide and vanished.

"What fine power, can you attack again?" Da Gu Ba staggered to his feet, looked at Jiang Xia before him, opened his arms, and spoke loudly.

"Of course."

"Thud——!"

The dark‑gold fist fiercely struck Da Gu Ba's belt again.

Metal fragments sprayed; Jiang Xia fulfilled his wish, and Da Gu Ba's thorn‑covered body again burst with blood light.

His body was blown away by that punch, and the flung Da Gu Ba's body gradually shrank into a white‑clad youth spitting blood.

However, that white clothing had been stained red by his own blood and dirt; he was no longer the sunny young man but a demon on the verge of death, for in Jiang Xia's view he let himself see only a monstrous guise to avoid trouble.

"This battle, you won, the darkness has already disappeared." Da Gu Ba fell to the ground, gazing at Jiang Xia, his body constantly twitching, blood continually welling from his mouth.

"Mm, I won, you should also completely disappear." Jiang Xia said lightly.

Jiang Xia exerted force with both legs, leaping high; a huge Void mark erupted from his legs, and he fiercely kicked the prone Da Gu Ba on the ground.

As long as the power is not completely devoured, he will not stop; although Jiang Xia destroyed the spirit stone and belt entirely, if he merely fell into a death‑like state, then after Jiang Xia leaves, Da Gu Ba's reawakening would be a disaster for all humanity.

He would not allow such a situation to occur.

"Ha!"

The Void mark devoured Da Gu Ba, who had lost all ability to resist.

After a moment, Jiang Xia also slowly landed amidst the soaring pillar of fire.

"Did the Void win? It seems this is the final light‑dark game."

Rose Woman watched as Jiang Xia returned to human form, silently thinking.

She had not witnessed the battle's course, only seen the final scene, and this mountain range now held no Gu Lang Ji life.

Although her clansmen had all been wiped out, she felt little sorrow; this could be considered a kind of ruthlessness.

Jiang Xia slightly turned his head; although he had already noticed the approaching Rose Girl, he now had no mood to deal with her.

Because earth-shaking changes were occurring inside his body, the power from devouring Da Gu Ba was rapidly repairing his body.

Whether damaged organs or fractured bones, they were healing at a speed incomprehensible to ordinary people.

Flesh injuries were secondary; more importantly, the spirit stones of Angra Mainyu and Kuuga were being devoured by him.

He casually opened the panel and checked his status.

After completely devouring Da Gu Ba in its ultimate form, his lifespan increased dramatically in one go.

All his special abilities were subsumed under the omniscient and omnipotent category, and Jiang Xia clearly felt his body undergoing transformation.

Even the impact was greater than previous life breakthroughs, but when Jiang Xia saw that he was at the B Rank life limit level, he still fell into some confusion.

Because Da Gu Ba's life level was obviously far beyond B Rank, and devouring had taken all his power, even so he still couldn't advance?

It seems that the evolution of life is still a long and arduous road.
