Chapter 499: Decisive Battle (Part 4)

The vast mountain of blades instantly submerged Zhang Nuo! The surging Heaven and Earth Origin Qi raged within the mountain of blades! The Master glanced into the mountain of blades, yet could not find even a shadow of Zhang Nuo! It was as if he had been completely swallowed within it!

"Boom!"

With a sudden loud noise, a gray fist burst out from one side of the mountain of blades. At the same time, protected by the phantom image of the Underworld King, Zhang Nuo stumbled out from the encirclement of the numerous long blades! As soon as his figure appeared, the Butterfly Wings on his back vibrated rapidly, and he flew toward the distant sky!

If not for the bizarre technique of the "Immovable Underworld King," Zhang Nuo would likely have been hacked into mincemeat by the chaotic blades just now! Even so, to escape the Mountain of Blades Formation, he had consumed a significant amount of Heaven and Earth Origin Qi within his body; at this moment, the phantom image of the Underworld King was clearly much dimmer.

"Hmm?"

The Master let out a soft sound of surprise; he had not expected that his sure-kill strike would be escaped by Zhang Nuo! It seemed he had already cultivated the techniques in the Underworld Ancient Book to a certain level!

"Strike again!"

A roar erupted from his mouth! The Master did not want to leave Zhang Nuo any chance to catch his breath. As soon as his words fell, the mountain of blades suddenly disintegrated, dancing across the sky!

At the same time, with a movement of Zhang Nuo's Divine Sense, all the Flying Swords in the Nine Dragon Sword Case flew out. After a few flashes, he set up the "Ten Thousand Swords Flow Grand Formation" within a radius of several miles!

After a burst of sword humming, countless sword shadows manifested, rapidly condensing into two torrents that charged toward the countless long blades!

"Crack! Crack!" sounds were incessant. As soon as the sword formation torrents made contact with the long blades, the long blades shattered instantly, turning into specks of spiritual light! With this brief moment of obstruction, Zhang Nuo was finally able to catch his breath, his mind contemplating a countermeasure!

Suddenly, the Samsara Dharma Disk in front of the Master emitted a beast roar, and then it vanished from its spot. The next moment, spatial fluctuations arose above Zhang Nuo's head, and the Samsara Dharma Disk appeared. The small beast on the disk split its hands apart, its body growing to be two zhang tall. It swung both fists simultaneously, like two dragons emerging from the sea, aiming straight for Zhang Nuo's body!

This time, the power of the Samsara Dharma Disk had increased manifold. Before the fists even arrived, Zhang Nuo felt as if the sky above his head were collapsing! A massive pressure acted upon him from above to below! He wanted to use the Underworld King phantom to receive this strike, but Zhang Nuo felt the power of the phantom image had become extremely unstable!

If he were to force it, it would surely be destroyed! His thoughts raced, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes! Immediately, two figures flashed out from his body, meeting the fists thrown by the small beast on the Samsara Dharma Disk from the left and right!

Boom! Boom!

The Master had not seen clearly what had flown out from Zhang Nuo's body, and only when the fists of the small beast on the Dharma Disk were caught by those two things did he see clearly! It turned out to be two clones!

In his desperation, Zhang Nuo had no choice but to summon the Magic Buddha! The two Magic Buddhas, their bodies radiating intense Demonic Qi, held up the fists that were nearly a zhang in size with their hands, and ripples like water appeared on their bodies! It seemed they were also exerting their power to the limit!

As the ferocious small beast on the Samsara Dharma Disk roared once more, the force of its two fists increased! The bodies of the Magic Buddhas were sinking downward bit by bit, and their figures were becoming increasingly ethereal!

The greater the power the Magic Buddha emitted, the more of Zhang Nuo's Divine Sense it devoured. When the two Magic Buddhas exerted their full strength, Zhang Nuo felt his Divine Sense draining away as quickly as water!

His heart sank; if this continued, he would be dragged to death by these two Magic Buddhas before the Master even made a move! He looked up at the small beast, seeing it still biting the Dharma Disk, with thunder-like rumblings emanating from its nose!

Do or die! Zhang Nuo steeled his heart, wrapped himself in the Butterfly Wings on his back, and vanished from the spot instantly! The next moment, spatial fluctuations arose behind the small beast, and Zhang Nuo appeared! At the same time, the Master also discovered Zhang Nuo's figure and wanted to retract the Dharma Disk, but it seemed a bit late!

The Underworld King phantom above Zhang Nuo's head swung its right fist! Gathering all the power in his body, he slammed it fiercely against the small beast's back!

The small beast, which had some autonomous consciousness, wanted to pull away to dodge, but its two fists were firmly gripped by Zhang Nuo's two Magic Buddhas! Its body could not move an inch!

A thunderous explosion rang in his ears; the Underworld King phantom's strike landed solidly on the small beast's back! The force of this strike was enough to split mountains and crack the earth! The struck small beast tumbled as it fell toward the sea of fire on the ground!

Seeing the strike land, Zhang Nuo quickly opened his mouth, and a small pale-blue tripod flashed out. As it spun around in front of him, a large amount of purple electric arcs surged from the tripod! These electric arcs instantly condensed into a giant hand over three zhang in size!

After extending, it struck again toward the falling small beast!

"Boom!" With the power of the Purple Lightning Wild Thunder and the urging of Zhang Nuo's technique, this strike was no less powerful than the Underworld King phantom! The Samsara Dharma Disk, which was already falling rapidly, increased its speed by a few notches! It looked as if it were about to fall into the sea of fire!

Suddenly, a black figure flew past the sky above the flames below, raised a hand, and grabbed the Dharma Disk, which had returned to its original size. After a few flashes of his figure, he appeared high in the sky!

Zhang Nuo looked at the black shadow in surprise. After the opponent revealed his figure, it was none other than the Master! The movement technique the opponent had just displayed was truly terrifyingly fast! Zhang Nuo felt a shiver run through his entire body! If the Master were to ambush him with this movement technique while he was caught off guard, there would be absolutely no possibility of dodging it!

After retracting the two Magic Buddhas into his body, a row of long blades suddenly attacked from behind. Zhang Nuo frowned slightly! With a movement of his Divine Sense, several Flying Swords around him converged into a torrent, shattering those long blades!

Zhang Nuo's thoughts had still not recovered from the Master's speed! If the Red Glow Fire in his body were still there, perhaps he could use the Wing Transformation Technique from the Flame Control Technique to manifest a pair of fire wings and contend with the opponent! However, ever since the Red Glow Fire devoured the bloodline of the True Spirit Phoenix, it had remained in a dormant state!

He was anxious as if burning! Now, Zhang Nuo felt a hint of regret; perhaps he shouldn't have used the True Spirit Bloodline so early! Things having reached this point, he had no choice but to forcibly awaken the Red Glow Fire from its slumber!

With a slight movement of his Divine Sense, the first Nascent Soul in his body slowly opened its eyes, looking at the pale red flame held in its small hands! A white light flashed from the center of the Nascent Soul's brow, shooting rapidly into the interior of the flame!

This unique attack method, the Divine Sense Spike, could instantly awaken even a Spirit Beast that had slept for ten thousand years! Zhang Nuo was forced into a corner and, having no other choice, had to resort to this desperate measure!

The dim Red Glow Fire suddenly flared up! Only, it had changed back from its previous silver-white color to red! Zhang Nuo felt a surge of joy, flipped one hand, and a mass of red flame appeared on his palm! With a wave, a pair of fire wings two zhang long appeared!

But before Zhang Nuo could take a step forward to fuse the fire wings with his body, a tragic scene occurred! The newly manifested fire wings vanished at a speed visible to the naked eye, finally leaving only a thumb-sized red ball of fire!

Zhang Nuo's expression changed drastically; he had risked the danger of the Red Glow Fire extinguishing to activate it, but it was just a flash in the pan! Before he could react, that small flame fell into the sea of fire on the ground! At the same time, the Master also discovered this bizarre occurrence, as if Zhang Nuo had failed in some secret technique!

He sneered in his heart and formed a hand seal! The sea of fire below rolled out a fire snake, which swallowed the falling Red Glow Fire in one gulp! Zhang Nuo didn't even have time to retrieve the fire seed before it vanished into the Lianyu Huohai in the blink of an eye!

"Return my fire seed!"

Zhang Nuo was about to go mad! This time, he had been too clever for his own good! He had tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice!

"Hehe! If you haven't mastered a divine ability, don't bring it out to embarrass yourself!"

The Master laughed wildly! He had completely forgotten about the fact that his Samsara Dharma Disk had almost been knocked into the sea of fire! It was truly a case of "the flower planted with intent fails to bloom, while the willow planted without intent grows into shade"! Zhang Nuo's accident had actually worked in his favor!

Looking at Zhang Nuo, whose complexion was no better than a pig's liver, the Master was even more delighted! Urging his Divine Sense, the Lianyu Huohai below and the Mountain of Blades Formation above squeezed toward the center like a piece of heaven and earth! Although Zhang Nuo felt pained for the Red Glow Fire, survival was the priority now. With a movement of his figure and protected by several torrents of Flying Swords, he broke through the slashing of the numerous long blades above and charged into the high sky!

He swept his Divine Sense downward, seeing only raging flames and the cold glint of long blades; where could he still find the shadow of the Red Glow Fire! Just then, the Master separated his hands, his palms flashing with Yin Qi, and the Samsara Dharma Disk hovering at his chest began to rotate once again!

Seeing this scene, Zhang Nuo felt the hair on his body stand on end! He thought the Master wanted to launch another attack from the Dharma Disk! His heart sank rapidly!

Two types of attacks from the Samsara Dharma Disk were already hard for him to endure; if a third one came, he might not even have the possibility of escaping!

However, things did not develop as Zhang Nuo had imagined! The Samsara Dharma Disk had already launched two types of strange attacks, which was about the Master's limit; after all, he was only a clone of Zhuanlun Wang, and his cultivation had only recovered to the Spirit Severing Stage!

A "hum" vibration sound came from the Samsara Dharma Disk, and the disk erupted with a green light. Immediately, a bitter and incomprehensible incantation sounded from the mouth of the ferocious small beast! A thunderous roar came from the Lianyu Huohai, and at the same time, right in the center of the sea of fire, a volcano several zhang high appeared!

This volcano gathered all the power of the Lianyu Huohai, and at the crater, which was red to the point of turning purple, a heaven-defying pressure gathered, with Zhang Nuo as the target!
