Chapter 575: Fusion Secret Technique

Luoning's figure shuttled through the void, crossing several miles in every second, fast enough to be astonishing.

This speed was not only due to his strength and control over World Power, but also contained his years of research into Wind Attribute Magic, allowing him to merge better with the Wind Element to a certain extent.

This was like Ruidar's Flame Void Slash, where the final form was to abandon the physical body and transform into pure Wind Element to traverse the void.

It was just that the difficulty of Luoning's own research was much more complex and harder than learning from Ruidar.

Although the enemy this time was Ceres, because the opponent had just broken through, Luoning had great confidence that he could defeat him.

However, for the sake of caution, he still brought along the Legendary dragon from Cloud Habitat, Kaierluosi; with its "Embrace of Extreme Cold," even if there were any accidents, Luoning had a very good margin for error.

On the other hand, the newly broken-through Ceres was in high spirits as he rushed toward Fangzhu Zhi Di; to be safe, he would bypass the City of Dawn and enter the sea area from the side near Flame Canyon to rendezvous with Phoenix and the others.

"As long as the Demon God can descend again, this plane will be ours!"

Ceres's pair of dark golden eyes, which looked extremely cold, were unusually fiery at this moment; the meaning of their existence was to let the Demon God descend upon this world again, and now this goal was about to be realized.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Ceres felt an extremely powerful energy rapidly approaching him.

"Impossible, this speed is actually faster than mine!"

Since becoming a Sage, Ceres had felt that no creature in this world could match his speed, let alone now that he had become a Great Sage, with his strength reaching a higher level.

"It's not Ryan, nor is it Puruis..."

Ceres's eyes narrowed slightly: "It's him, that brat from Star Continent who killed Selandier!"

"Heh, I'd like to see which of us is faster!"

Suddenly, a roar like thunder from the nine heavens erupted in the sky; Ceres's speed increased to the extreme, and endless air currents and Wind Elements gathered together, whipping up a world-destroying storm high in the sky, causing the entire sky to turn gloomy.

"Speed increased?"

Luoning noticed it quickly, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly, not panicking in the slightest.

He was intercepting the opponent, not chasing.

So even if Ceres's speed was faster, unless he changed his destination and did not go to Fangzhu Zhi Di, it was destined that he could not bypass Luoning.

Whoosh~

Whoosh~

The two were still approaching at a very high speed.

A few minutes later, they finally met above a crimson mountain range; if Luoning's guess was correct, this should be Flame Canyon, the place that had buried Ruidar's Flame Expeditionary Army back then.

Before they even made a move, the two storms brought on by their speed collided fiercely; in an instant, the world went dark, and a red sandstorm whipped up on the ground, as if it were the end of the world.

"Luoning, you dare to intercept me while bringing a bedbug; should I praise you for your courage, or call you arrogant and ignorant?"

Luoning looked up and down at this Storm Lord before him.

The opponent's appearance was very scholarly; even though his eyes were chillingly cold, beneath his handsome face, it brought about a great contrast in beauty.

If such a person were a normal human, he would surely be pursued by countless women.

"In such a rush to get to Fangzhu Zhi Di, is your Demon God about to break the seal and come out?"

Luoning gripped the Liuyan Sword, his cold aura locking onto Ceres.

His figure flickered, and he had already appeared before the opponent, the long sword in his hand shining with brilliant light, starting off with the Vacuum Strangling Technique.

Ceres felt a jolt in his heart and immediately released powerful Wind-type Magic to defend, while retreating rapidly; dense, tiny Wind Blades formed a powerful gale, covering the area in front of him.

The sword light and the gale devoured each other like colliding stars, continuously transmitting world-destroying power to the outside.

The aftermath descended upon the peaks of Flame Canyon below, and the peaks were instantly leveled; touching the earth, the earth was instantly torn apart!

"A mere human, also dreaming of blocking the descent of my Lord?"

Ceres snorted coldly, his figure becoming illusory and ethereal, appearing and disappearing within the storm, as if he had merged with heaven and earth.

"Nirvana Arc Light!"

A clear, cold voice echoed between heaven and earth; in an instant, eighteen array patterns emitting mysterious auras appeared in the 360-degree space around Luoning, and they reflected Luoning like mirrors.

At the same time, an arc light containing the power of nirvana was emitted from one array pattern and struck another, and in an instant, one became two, and they shot toward another array pattern!

In an instant, the Nirvana Arc Light became eight, sixteen, thirty-two...

The dense arc lights appeared almost in the blink of an eye; they locked onto Luoning and finally converged toward him.

Alarm bells rang in Luoning's heart; he felt the aura of death from this strike.

The Nirvana Arc Light should be the prototype of the "Wind Envoy Trapping Array" used by Selandier and the others, but the power of the two was like heaven and earth.

"This move is very strong, but..."

Luoning slashed out with his sword, and the surrounding space immediately twisted, enveloping him within it.

When these arc lights approached the twisted space, it was as if the distance was infinitely elongated, and their speed dropped rapidly.

They traveled and turned within the twisted space, and in the blink of an eye, they were actually controlled by Luoning to gather into a "hemp rope," and then turned their aim to kill toward the caster.

Space Inversion was an ability Luoning gained after being promoted to Great Sage; it could twist space, change the direction of an enemy's attack, and return it to the opponent after intensifying its power.

This move was very powerful, but the consumption was also extremely high; even if Luoning's Battle Qi and Magic Power were at full capacity, he could only use it twice.

Only when Luoning's control over space gradually increased would the consumption decrease.

The Nirvana Arc Light came mightily and surged away; the aura of death enveloped Ceres, and the massive beam of light made his scalp tingle!

"No!"

He roared, his handsome figure disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a behemoth seven or eight hundred meters long, spanning across the sky!

"This is... a Wind Snake?"

Luoning did not expect that the opponent was actually a shapeshifting Magic Beast, and its true form was a Wind Snake with wings on its back.

Although the Wind Snake was somewhat similar to a dragon, its wings were relatively short and small, and its body was very long, having a large difference in body shape compared to a dragon.

Although Ceres revealed its true form and displayed its strongest defensive form, the power of the strengthened Nirvana Arc Light was truly too great; it directly pierced through its body and took a chunk of flesh from its waist and abdomen.

It was just a pity that its body was too large, avoiding the internal organs, which reduced the effect of this strike.

If it hadn't transformed immediately just now, it would likely have been pierced into several pieces.

Although enduring this blow did not kill it, Elemental Power was constantly leaking from the wound, making it impossible to recover in a short time.

"You... damn you!"

Ceres's voice carried endless fury and unwillingness; its massive body twisted violently in the air, and as its wings flapped, they stirred up an even more violent storm, as if to Tear the entire sky apart.

"The one who is damned is you!"

Luoning knew well the terror of the wind serpent Magic Beast before him, so he did not slacken in the slightest.

He took advantage of the opponent's attempt to repair its body to launch a fierce offensive against it.

It was just that when a Magic Beast reveals its true form, certain innate abilities are strengthened; for instance, at this moment, its entire body was covered in a dense defensive layer, which was composed of the World Power of the Yuansu Zhihai, and reinforced at the base by strengthening patterns formed from Nightmare Evil Power, making ordinary moves difficult to be effective.

"Since that is the case..."

Luoning looked up at the sky, where Kaierluosi had revealed its form.

The dragon understood, and a stream of scorching dragon breath surged toward Luoning like a flood descending from the heavens; however, under its control, not only would it not cause harm to Luoning, but under the blessing of the Legendary-level ability "Twisted Flame Spirit," it endowed this dragon breath with the power to twist the void and a powerful pulling force.

At the same time, the aura on Luoning's body was also climbing continuously, and the Fire Prison Flame Demon Slash, an advanced version of the Flame Void Slash, condensed on the Liuyan Sword.

This was Ruidar's ability, only Luoning had purified the Battle Qi within his body, combined it with the power of the Liuyan Sword and Kaierluosi, and then absorbed World Power, ultimately forming a special, powerful secret technique.

An aura of destruction shrouded the heavens and the earth, and the world seemed to be restless because of it.

Fear flashed in Ceres's eyes, "This is... a Dragon Rider Secret Technique?"

It retracted its wings, and its massive body twisted to wrap around its upper torso and merge into the storm.

At this moment, a dark aura emerged from the storm, and a huge phantom of a demon god appeared above the storm; it raised its hands, holding up a massive black sphere, emitting an endless aura of death.

"Ant-like Mortal, you dare to provoke the majesty of a demon god!"

The hoarse voice pierced through space, soul-stirring; this was not Ceres's voice, but came from the King of Nightmare Evil.

"Heh, finally couldn't help but appear."

Luoning laughed: "Your appearance just proves the value of my interception this time!"

He widened his eyes, and the combined secret technique was adjusted to its most powerful state, forming a towering flame sword shadow that pierced straight into the clouds.

"Die!"

Luoning shouted loudly, and the sword shadow cut through the long sky, like a comet striking the earth, carrying an unstoppable momentum, heading straight for Ceres.

This sword not only condensed Luoning's strongest power but also contained his insights into space, as well as the inherited power Kaierluosi obtained after ascending to Legendary; its power was so strong that it would move any powerhouse.

Boom!

The sword shadow first collided with the Dark Evil Energy ball pushed out by the demon god phantom; in this instant, the world seemed to be torn into two halves of fire and black, and endless energy fluctuations spread out like sea waves, shaking the surrounding space until it twisted and deformed.

On the ground, mountains and rivers turned to dust, rivers evaporated instantly, and trees and animals became fragile in the face of such power, scattering like smoke and dust one after another.

The power of Luoning's sword was beyond imagination!

It directly broke through the evil energy ball, then tore through Ceres's defensive storm, and bombarded its massive body.

"No, this is impossible!"

Ceres let out a shrill roar, its body twisting in pain under the scorching of the flames; it felt every piece of flesh and every cell enduring the pain of burning and crushing.

Elemental Power was flowing away rapidly, and its seven or eight hundred-meter-long body could not withstand the devastation and began to disintegrate.

"Lord Demon God, save me!"

The desperate roar echoed, but the demon god did not descend.

Under the continuous impact of energy, Ceres finally broke apart inch by inch, turning into countless fragments that fell from the sky.

The Storm Lord who had entrenched himself in the Beifeng Plain for these years, the new Storm Demon King of the Demon Race, finally fell today.

Only, after its death, a disturbing dark energy rose from the corpse fragments, condensing into a dark cloud.

"Nightmare Evil Power?"

Luoning frowned, raised his hand to mobilize the surrounding World Power, wanting to destroy this dark cloud.

Only, this energy was rather strange; instead of being destroyed, it sank beneath the ground and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

This was clearly not dissipating, but escaping.

Unease suddenly surged in Luoning's heart; he felt that even if he killed Ceres, he could not completely stop the growth of the King of Nightmare Evil.

"However, I have also been strengthened!"

By slaying the Great Sage, Luoning possessed the qualifications to break through.

"After the Great Sage, what is the realm?"

Luoning began to look forward to it. (End of this chapter)
