Chapter 1720

At a great distance, Xiao Feng began to prepare.

Translation: "At a great distance, Xiao Feng began to prepare."

Check: "At a great distance" = "At a great distance". "Xiao Feng began to prepare." = "Xiao Feng began to prepare."

The Sky Lord's will is strong; he can find his position and understand his movements. Therefore, the old tactic of scouting a spot in advance, lying in wait, and striking when the opponent approaches won't work.

Translation: "The Tian Kong Lord's willpower is strong; he can locate Xiao Feng's position and understand his movements. Therefore, the old tactic of finding a spot to ambush in advance and striking when the opponent approaches won't work."

We need to ensure we used Xiao Feng? The line says "his position" referring to Xiao Feng? Actually earlier context: The Sky Lord's will is strong; he can find his position and understand his movements. The "his" refers to Xiao Feng (the protagonist). So we should translate as "his position" referring to Xiao Feng. We'll keep "his". We'll not add extra.

Thus: "The Tian Kong Lord's willpower is strong; he can locate his position and understand his movements. Therefore, the old tactic of finding a spot to ambush in advance and striking when the opponent approaches won't work."

The key is to keep the opponent from knowing where he is now!

Translation: "The key is to keep the opponent from knowing where he is now!"

Xiao Feng teleported to a city called White Cloud City, blended into the crowd, and slowly divided his own power.

Translation: "Xiao Feng transmitted to a city called White Cloud City, blended into the crowd, and slowly divided his own power."

Note: "teleported" = "teleported". "blended into the crowd" = "blended into the crowd". "slowly divided his own power" = "slowly divided his own power". We'll keep.

Half of the source qi of all things was drawn from his body, and under the control of his spiritual will it slowly drifted away, then condensed into a new body—a man with the appearance of his good friend Zhang Fan.

Translation: "Half of the source qi of all things was drawn from his body, and under the control of his spiritual will it slowly drifted away, then condensed into a new body—a man with the appearance of his good friend Zhang Fan."

This fake Lao Zhang's attributes are half of the main body; his aura is disguised and altered, and his soul will is fully restrained to prevent the Sky Lord from detecting any clues.

Translation: "This fake Lao Zhang's attributes are half of the main body; his aura is disguised and altered, and his soul will is fully restrained to prevent the Tian Kong Lord from detecting any clues."

Afterwards, he simultaneously controlled both bodies, flew out of the city, and waited for the Sky Lord's arrival at two places separated by 100,000 kilometers.

Translation: "Afterwards, he simultaneously controlled both bodies, flew out of the city, and waited at two places 100,000 kilometers apart for the Tian Kong Lord's arrival."

Note: "two places separated by 100,000 kilometers" = "two places separated by 100,000 kilometers". We'll keep.

Releasing the heart sword is very difficult; it requires focused concentration and consumes spiritual will, so it cannot be used simultaneously by both bodies.

Translation: "Releasing the Heart Sword is very difficult; it requires focused spirit and consumes spiritual will, so it cannot be unleashed by both bodies at once."

He plans to use his main body as bait, buying time for his clone to act.

Translation: "He intends to use the main body as bait, buying time for the clone to act."

Moreover… the heart sword was prepared in advance; when the Sky Lord was still ten or so minutes away, it was already ready!

Translation: "Moreover… the Heart Sword was prepared in advance; when the Tian Kong Lord was still ten or so minutes away, it was already ready!"

After condensing the sword, he even took a moment to refill his mana, so he could unleash two more big moves if possible.

Translation: "After condensing the sword, he even found time to refill his mana, so he could unleash two more big moves if possible."

Note: "After condensing the sword" = "After condensing the sword". "refilled his mana" = "refilled his mana". "unleash two more big moves" = "unleash two more big moves". We'll keep.

"Brother Xiao, do you plan to fight again in White Cloud City?" Shen Chuo asked in the legion channel.

Translation: "\"Brother Xiao, do you plan to fight another battle in White Cloud City? \" Shen Chuo asked in the legion channel."

Note: "Brother Xiao" = "Brother Xiao". "White Cloud City" = White Cloud City. "legion channel" = legion channel.

Legion members can see teammates' positions; Xiao Feng stopped moving, and they all understood.

Translation: "Legion members can see teammates' positions; Xiao Feng stopped moving, and they all understood."

"Well, you guys prepare according to the situation. Now the Sky Lord's temper is huge; I estimate you'll have few chances to act." Xiao Feng replied.

Translation: "\"Well, you all prepare according to the situation. The Tian Kong Lord's temper is huge now; I estimate you'll have few chances to act. \" Xiao Feng replied."

In that recent clash, Shen Chuo and others seized the opportunity to unleash many skills; the damage was still quite impressive, increasing significantly.

Translation: "In that recent clash, Shen Chuo and the others seized the opportunity to unleash many skills; the damage was still quite impressive, increasing significantly."

However, the changes in the top ten rankings are still minor; mainly Jiang Ning, Sword Slaying the Heavens, and others took the chance to push up a bit, while Qian Sha and Shen Chuo's group still find it somewhat difficult to catch up to Ultra-Dimensional Mech Soldiers No. 13 and No. 1.

Translation: "However, the changes in the top ten rankings were still minor; mainly Jiang Ning, Jian Zhan Cangsheng, and others took the chance to push upward, while Qian Sha and Shen Chuo's group still found it somewhat difficult to catch up to Super Dimensional Machine Soldier 13 and Super Dimensional Machine Soldier 1."

Han Zichen said: "That guy has gone mad; he's sweeping across the route, turning everything within 100,000 kilometers ahead and behind into ruins, killing both players and monsters alike—I don't advise anyone to keep getting closer."

Translation: "Han Zichen said: \"That guy has gone mad; he's sweeping across the route, turning everything within 100,000 kilometers ahead and behind into ruins, killing both players and wild monsters. I don't advise anyone to keep getting close. \"

"Holy cow, that's brutal!" Xiao Feng was also a bit surprised, not expecting the Sky Lord, in his rage, to go on a map-wide killing spree.

Translation: "\"Holy crap, that's brutal? \" Xiao Feng was also a bit surprised; he didn't expect the Tian Kong Lord, in his fury, to go on a killing spree across the whole map."

At that moment, Qian Sha asked: "Brother, how many more strikes do you need to finish it off? Are you confident?"

Translation: "At that moment, Qian Sha asked: \"Brother, how many more strikes do you need to finish it off? How confident are you? \""

Xiao Feng thought for a moment and replied: "I've noticed that when I unleash my ultimate move consecutively, the damage increases incrementally. If it's a single cast, each hit does about 7% damage, requiring around 11 hits. If I can chain them, each hit can increase damage by nearly 1%... Of course, the mana cost is huge—taking potions doesn't replenish it enough, so I can chain at most five in a row."

Translation: "Xiao Feng thought and replied: \"I've noticed that when I unleash my big move consecutively, the damage increases cumulatively; if it's a single cast, each hit does about 7%, requiring around 11 hits. If I can chain them, each hit can increase damage by nearly 1%… Of course, the mana cost is too high—taking potions doesn't replenish it enough, so I can chain at most five at once. \"

When repeatedly casting the heart sword at the same target, the damage gains an extra 20% increment because the void rift hasn't healed yet, making it more terrifying the more you strike.

Translation: "When repeatedly striking the same target with Heart Sword, the damage gains an extra 20% increase because the void rift hasn't healed before the next hit— the more you strike, the more terrifying it becomes."

However, such continuous high-pressure ultimates also place a tremendous burden on spiritual will.

Translation: "However, such consecutive high-pressure big moves also place a huge burden on spiritual will."

"How long does it take to cast one skill?" Qian Sha asked him.

Translation: "\"How long does it take to release one skill? \" Qian Sha asked him."

Huh?

Translation: "Huh?"

Saying that, could he possibly have a way to extend his survival time?

Translation: "What he said—could he have a way to extend his survival time?"

Xiao Feng's heart stirred, and he replied: "About 2.1 seconds; squeezing myself, the limit can reach 1.9 seconds!"

Translation: "Xiao Feng's heart stirred, and he replied: \"About 2.1 seconds; if I push myself, the limit can reach 1.9 seconds! \"

Continuously releasing the heart sword creates great mental pressure, just like when he previously used the Soul-Piercing Spear.

Translation: "Continuously unleashing Heart Sword creates great mental pressure, just like when he used to unleash the Soul-Chasing Spear."

However, his foundation is now stronger, so he's not as prone to weakness or fainting, enough to sustain until the Sky Lord falls.

Translation: "But now his foundation is stronger too; he's not as prone to weakness or fainting, enough to sustain until the Tian Kong Lord falls."

Qian Sha thought for a moment, then replied: "My treasure can give you 8-10 seconds of output time, but only once; after that, the treasure will fall silent."

Translation: "Qian Sha thought for a moment, then replied: \"My Supreme Treasure can give you 8–10 seconds of output time, but only once; after that, the Supreme Treasure will fall silent. \"

"8-10 seconds, that's brutal!"

Translation: "\"8–10 seconds, that's brutal! \"

That's the Sky Lord, after all!

Translation: "That's the Tian Kong Lord!"

Even lasting 8 seconds without dying before the Sky Lord, not even the Myriad Tribulations Pagoda would have that confidence!

Translation: "Lasting 8 seconds without dying before the Tian Kong Lord— even the Myriad Calamities Pagoda lacks that confidence!"

It seems Qian Sha was being modest; his ninth-tier treasure is absurdly strong!

Translation: "It seems Qian Sha was being modest earlier; his 9th‑level Supreme Treasure is absurdly strong!"

"Should I come find you now?" he asked.

Translation: "\"Should I come find you now? \" he asked."

Xiao Feng thought for a moment and replied: "No rush, I've already set up an ambush; let's try a wave first and see—there's still a chance!"

Translation: "Xiao Feng thought, then replied: \"No rush; I've already set up an ambush, let's try a wave first—there's still a chance! \"

"Alright, we'll regroup at the next stop. Congcong, I won't go summon you; the upcoming battle will likely only involve me and Xiao Feng." Qian Sha said in the legion.

Translation: "\"Alright, we'll meet up at the next stop. Cong Cong, I won't go summon you; the upcoming battle will likely only involve me and Xiao Feng. \" Qian Sha said in the legion."

Congcong said regretfully: "Alright, then you guys work hard and kill the Sky Lord! My ranking is already stable this time—I won't lose out!"

Translation: "Cong Cong said regretfully: \"Alright, then you guys need to work hard and kill the Tian Kong Lord! My ranking is already stable this time—I won't lose out! \"

Previously, Congcong's output ranking wasn't high because he had been attacked one fewer time in the war zone. This time, after unleashing a few big skills, he entered the top 100, his ranking is stable, and he didn't make the trip for nothing.

Translation: "Previously, Cong Cong's output ranking wasn't high because he encountered fewer attacks in the war zone; this time he unleashed several big skills, entered the top 100, his ranking stabilized, and it wasn't a wasted trip."

"If people in the cities along the way can evacuate, let them do so; take whatever resources can be carried to reduce losses." Xiao Feng said to Shen Chuo and others.

Translation: "\"If people in the cities along the way can evacuate, let them do so; take whatever resources you can carry to reduce losses. \" Xiao Feng said to Shen Chuo and the others."

He himself is also adjusting his position, trying to stay away from cities to see if he can save one or two.

Translation: "He himself was also adjusting his position, trying to avoid cities, to see if he could save one or two cities."

The Sky Lord arrived quickly; after he left White Cloud City by some distance, the distant horizon already showed that black shadow approaching.

Translation: "The Tian Kong Lord arrived quickly; after he left White Cloud City a certain distance, the distant horizon already showed that black shadow approaching."

The Crane Fairy carried Xiao Feng as they flew through the air, with an "Old Zhang" following far behind.

Translation: "He Xianzi carried Xiao Feng as they flew through the air, and far away, a \"Old Zhang\" followed."

Seeing the Sky Lord about to enter the 100,000-kilometer range, Xiao Feng's main body decisively condensed a heart sword.

Translation: "Seeing the Tian Kong Lord about to enter the 100,000‑kilometer range, Xiao Feng's main body decisively condensed a Heart Sword."

Boom rumble~

Translation: "Boom—"

However, the heart sword had just been formed and not yet thrown when a terrifying power suddenly enveloped him from all sides!

Translation: "However, the Heart Sword had just been condensed, not yet thrown, when a terrifying power suddenly enveloped him from all sides!"

Bang!

Translation: "Bang!"

Before the furious venerable's power, Xiao Feng's body was almost instantly crushed, and the Crane Fairy also died once.

Translation: "Before the furious Venerable's power, Xiao Feng's body was almost instantly crushed, and He Xianzi also died once."

The heart sword lost control and exploded on the spot, forming a small rift in heaven and earth.

Translation: "The Heart Sword lost control and exploded on the spot, forming a tiny gap in heaven and earth."

The Sky Lord swept across the sky like a colossal steamroller; a flap of its wings pulverized everything within a 100,000-kilometer radius, forming a vast, flat, wide plain road.

Translation: "The Tian Kong Lord swept across the sky like a colossal steamroller; with a flap of its wings, everything within a 100,000‑kilometer radius was crushed flat, forming a vast, level plain road."

"It didn't notice me—there's a chance!"

Translation: "\"It didn't notice me—there's a chance! \"

Disguised as Old Zhang's aura, with his soul power fully retracted, Xiao Feng's clone stared intently.

Translation: "Disguised as Old Zhang's aura, with his soul power fully restrained, Xiao Feng's clone stared intently."

When that destructive force was about to strike him, he decisively unleashed the heart sword in his hand!

Translation: "When that destructive force was about to strike him, he decisively unleashed the Heart Sword in his hand!"

Whoosh~

Translation: "Whoosh~"

The heart sword flashed, appearing before the Sky Lord's shattered skull.

Translation: "The Heart Sword flashed, appearing before the Tian Kong Lord's shattered skull."

Boom!

Translation: "Boom!"

The next second, the heart sword exploded, a spatial rift reappeared, and the Sky Lord's health bar dropped by nearly 1,400 yang, raising total damage to 34%!

Translation: "The next second, the Heart Sword exploded, a spatial rift reappeared, and the Tian Kong Lord's health bar dropped by nearly 1,400 yi, raising total damage to 34%!"

But almost at the same moment, the "Old Zhang" clone was also crushed and pulverized, losing any chance to act again.

Translation: "But almost at the same moment, the \"Old Zhang\" clone was also crushed to pieces, losing any chance to act again."

The Sky Lord roared, its bellow spreading across hundreds of thousands of miles, making even monsters tremble.

Translation: "The Tian Kong Lord roared, its bellow spreading across hundreds of thousands of miles, making wild monsters tremble."

Xiao Feng had no time to worry about much; having just died, he immediately returned to respawn.

Translation: "Xiao Feng had no time to spare; having just died, he immediately respawned."

He looked at the position on the map, chose to teleport to the vicinity of Magic Source Mountain, then mounted He Xianzi and flew toward the wilderness for 3 minutes, stopping at a place 150,000 kilometers away.

Upon looking at the map, I had thought the Sky Lord would come towards his direction, but it wasn't so; instead, he went straight toward the Chaos Divine Nation.

Only then did Xiao Feng realize that the Sky Lord's purpose was not to kill him, but to destroy his territory and lair!

"This guy isn't stupid either; he knows I can't die, so revenge is hard, he can only use this method. Tsk, he really should have run away." Xiao Feng muttered, then immediately returned to the city, changed to another place, and continued to intercept enemies along the way.

As the spokesperson of the will of the heavens, the Sky Lord naturally could not flee.

So the moment of the decisive battle has arrived!
