Chapter 684: Heaven and Earth

Lei En, using the momentum of his thunder slash, flashed like lightning for several hundred meters.

The Hell three-headed dragon turned its heads to bite the air, roaring in pain, the three heads crazily cast spells, fire, Arcane and poison curses generated from all directions, each spell's power exceeding seven rings, forming a torrent of spells that rained down on Lei En in midair, leaving no blind spot.

Swish!

Lei En's wings fluttered, vanishing from the spell torrent, and the next instant appeared atop the void dragon head in the middle of the Hell three-headed dragon, his body swelling again to over five meters tall, raising his war hammer and smashing down with force.

The giant dragon sensed extreme danger and instinctively flashed away.

Suddenly, an invisible spell fell, scrambling its perception for an instant, causing its flash to lag half a step.

Space-Time Shock!

The void dragon recovered, then its head was struck repeatedly by a hammer.

Level Fourteen Power, Level Five Blood Frenzy, Level Three Titan Might, battle music, thunderous might, Level Seven Destruction Critical… At the moment of impact, Lei En activated every possible amplification, leaving no reserve, unleashing the strongest strike to date.

With a bang.

The ferocious giant bird‑shaped head plummeted violently, as if struck by a massive meteor, crashing down, spraying countless blood, scales, and crackling lightning.

The Saint Rank dragon's defense and resistance offered almost no protection against the Thunder God's Hammer.

The void dragon head, larger than a room, split open, barely retaining its shape.

The two adjacent heads let out wailing cries, crazily lunging to bite.

Lei En was about to press on, hammer‑sploding the remaining two heads, when a towering dark silhouette materialized before his eyes, clad in armor, wielding a crimson‑flame greatsword and a large shield, with a pair of sky‑pointing horns on the helm.

Aiken arrived just in time.

He was smashed by Lei En's hammer, flipped and dropped; the hammer's massive force hurled him to the ground, the armor absorbed the damage so he was unharmed, but his face was completely ruined.

When he regained his senses, his mount had also had one head blasted off.

Aiken's anger boiled, and he was also baffled—where did this guy come from? Who was he? These thoughts flashed through Eternal Chosen's mind, quickly smothered by rage; whoever he was, he was certainly an enemy, to be killed first.

The Doom Lord teleported before the enemy, infusing his helm with corrupt energy, the two sky‑pointing horns emitting an invisible yet terrifying power.

Centered on him, space within a hundred‑meter radius froze.

Spatial Confinement!

Aiken walked on air as if on unseen solid ground, sprinting two or three steps to the limit, his "Regicide Sword" slashing toward Lei En frozen in space.

The Legend Grade Regicide Sword is among the oldest demon swords.

Within the blade is bound a Barro Flame Demon, who has slain countless powerful foes, drinking the blood of many kings, hence its name.

The scarlet greatsword bears terrifying high‑temperature flame, almost nothing it cannot cut.

Since Aiken obtained it, no enemy has ever landed a strike on him, not even the Chosen Champion, let alone a human transcendent who hasn't reached Saint Rank.

In an instant, the Regicide Sword cut before Lei En, its flame already scorching his wings.

Lei En, as if frozen in amber, suddenly moved.

At the critical moment, he swung his war hammer to block at his waist. Aiken couldn't change tactics in time, swung with full force, the greatsword clashed with the hammer.

Clang!

A piercing blast rang through both weapons into their ears, but the sound wave was frozen, unable to spread; those on the ground like Lei Silin only saw the hammer and greatsword collide, hearing nothing, as if watching a silent illusion.

Golden light erupted from the hammer, with a crack, the spatial confinement was broken.

The next instant, Lei En was struck at the waist by the greatsword, his body plummeting like a meteor, carving a pit several meters deep.

"Lei En!"

Asina was extremely worried, couldn't help shouting, about to rush forward to fight beside Lei En, but heard Lei Silin beside her say, "Don't act rashly, he's fine."

The three teammates, shocked, all glanced sideways, their minds full of questions.

Then they saw the Eternal Chosen in the sky turn into a black silhouette, diving toward the pit, slashing a hundred‑meter flame blade through the air.

Boom!

The earth cracked, and even the sky was split by a terrifying fissure.

Yizite's three hearts were seized with dread; if they were cut by that sword, even nine lives would be spent, wondering if that mysterious powerful ally could withstand it? While they were curious, a figure suddenly appeared in the upper left half‑air, skin reflecting pale golden light, a pair of massive wings behind.

It was Lei En, who flashed and dodged.

The three breathed a sigh of relief, then noticed a deep, bone‑visible wound at Lei En's waist, yet no blood spilled; his organs and bones appeared metal‑hard, and the wound healed rapidly, restoring instantly.

Lei En thought to himself, that was close.

Aiken's power is at least three levels above his, possibly up to eighteen levels!

If it weren't for his Key of Doors, granting immunity to space‑time spell control, and using the Thunder God's Hammer to block, even a Level‑one titanium‑extreme body couldn't have withstood it; it might have already been waist‑cut.

Conversely, the flame damage from the opponent's sword had little effect; after the titanium‑extreme body resisted part of it, the remainder was absorbed by "Energy Devour."

Eternal Chosen truly lives up to the name!

Aiken's own strength is above Thirty-level, clad in Legend Grade weaponry, flawless in attack, defense, and speed. He is only fifteen levels, half of the opponent; even his full‑force hammer leaves only shallow marks on the armor, perhaps can entangle briefly, but is far from a match.

Yet holding him for ten seconds would suffice.

Aiken suddenly halted.

He gave the unscathed Lei En a glance, and the raging Hell three-headed dragon immediately turned, abandoning its master's pursuit of Lei En, diving toward Lei Silin and the others on the ground.

"Oops!"

Lei Silin and Lei En both muttered.

Aiken realized he couldn't kill him quickly, decisively changed tactics, restarting the group teleport, the spell not yet halfway cast.

Lei En's mind shifted swiftly, immediately devising a plan: you strike my clone, I strike your mount.

Swish!

Lei En performed a flash, evading the teleporting Aiken, landing just outside his spatial confinement, his shoulders flickered, and multiple after‑images scattered, producing eight identical Mirror Images.

The moment he activated Mirror Image, Lei En swapped places with one of the images.

However, Aiken instantly spotted the true body and struck again.

Lei En originally hadn't planned to use Mirror Images to besiege Aiken; eight Mirror Images flashed into existence, each heading a different direction. Five Mirror Images intercepted on the path of the Hell Three‑Headed Dragon, brandishing a battle hammer and a titanium‑gold holy sword, completely ignoring defense, employing a hit‑for‑hit tactic to heavily damage the evil dragon that now had only two heads.

After three Mirror Images flashed, they raised the battle hammer above their heads, wildly flapping their wings to accelerate their flight.

With titanium‑gold flying feathers, Wind and Thunder Wings, and Constant Flight Technique, plus the void‑traversing power of Thunder God's Hammer, in an instant the three Mirror Images turned into electric light and vanished into the sky, rushing toward the Abyss Knights running on the ground to the east.

Those five hundred Abyss Knights were all elites, but before Lei En's Mirror Images, even a few Legendary High‑rank Abyss Eternal Chosen were as good as lambs entering a tiger's mouth.

Even if they can't kill them all, the three Mirror Images can still take out half the enemies before they die!

Aiken realized Lei En's intent and shouted in a deep voice:

"You're courting death!"

Lei En let out a light hum in response.

The Eternal Chosen's power is indeed terrifying; in a direct duel, I might not even last two minutes, but if the opponent tries to kill me, that would be impossible.

Aiken did not ease his attack while shouting.

On the ground, within Yizite and others' sight, a tall black silhouette and a tall golden silhouette chased each other at high speed; a moment ago they were hundreds of meters east, then in the blink of an eye they reappeared in the western sky, leaving them bewildered.

Within a single breath, the two changed positions five or six times.

The speed was such that afterimages formed, making the battlefield stretch from sky to ground, and one could even see the two fighting simultaneously in different locations.

The battle hammer clashed with the great sword; at first silent, then the spatial tremor produced thunder and explosions.

The void shattered, and the earth cracked.

It was as if two incarnations of deities were dueling; such a terrifying battle scene far exceeded ordinary imagination, and even legendary strongmen could not intervene.

The three Yizite observers felt their spirits waver, their hands unknowingly gripping tightly.

A few seconds later, Aiken's figure paused, his mind filled with startled doubt.

"Crown of Dominion" carries a powerful effect equivalent to the Legendary Element "Space Dominion", granting him control over space, allowing him to teleport at will within a certain area and to bind enemies with spatial restraints.

Since acquiring the Crown of Dominion, he has been unbeatable in battle.

But today he met a worthy opponent.

Each time he teleports, Lei En detects it in advance; Lei En's Flash intervals are especially brief, alternating with Electric Flash Teleport, and even when he cannot use it again, his flight speed alone can barely create some distance.

After two consecutive Flashes, it becomes Aiken's chance.

Unfortunately, the effect of Space Confinement was far weaker than before; after closing the distance, before he could deliver his strongest strike, Lei En had already broken free of the Space Confinement.

If there were enough time—just two to three minutes—Aiken was confident that, with his combat experience and eyesight, he could seize this human's mistake, corner him, and deliver a fatal blow.

But now there is not that much time, not even five seconds.

Aiken glanced back.

His mount, the Hell Three‑Headed Dragon, was being surrounded by five enemy Mirror Images.

These Mirror Images were also peculiar, completely unlike the stiff Mirror Images others have; each possessed an independent self‑awareness, as if it were the original!

Even though each had only half the original's strength, the five together still battered the Hell Three‑Headed Dragon into a sorry state.

Its middle head was smashed by the hammer and needs time to recover, but after losing its most vital void‑dragon ability, the remaining two heads suffered mental disarray, their power plummeted; although they won't die instantly, they cannot approach the people on the ground to disrupt the teleport.

"This time I messed up."

Aiken's heart sank; he had thought he could swiftly deal with Lei En, then free his hand to spare those few humans, but the enemy proved far more troublesome than expected, wasting his time.

He decisively abandoned the pursuit of Lei En, deciding to personally break the teleport.

Just as he was about to teleport, several invisible spells fell from above.

All of them were Space‑Time Shocks!

They came from the five Mirror Images besieging the Hell Three‑Headed Dragon; Lei En himself did not cast Space‑Time Shock, but instead performed a void‑grasp from afar, launching a massive electric claw.

Aiken was struck consecutively by five Space‑Time Shocks.

His armor nullified most of the spell effects, but the five spells activated simultaneously, arriving in an extremely clever succession, causing him to experience a brief, fleeting disorientation—less than a blink—that interrupted his spatial teleport.

Then Lei En's electric claw arrived.

The Seven‑Ring Electric Claw Technique, comparable to a dragon's claw, latched onto Aiken and pulled him toward Lei En.

"Hmph!"

Aiken made a casual movement and broke free of the electric claw; the current on his body had no effect, but it still prevented him from achieving his goal.

On the other side, the Hell Three‑Headed Dragon, straining under the Mirror Images' assault, finally broke through the defense line, and its left and right heads each spewed a torrent of dragon breath.

In the instant of blazing flame and lethal poison, Reslin and his companions turned into light and vanished.

The group teleportation spell was completed!

Once teleported to the destination, tracking becomes difficult. Aiken is an Abyss Knight; he possesses the Crown of Dominion, but his teleportation spells are not proficient—he is a bit stronger than a typical Arcane mage, yet far weaker than Reslin.

Even though he had anticipated this outcome, Aiken remained furious.

He leveraged the force of the Electric Claw Technique, swinging his sword to slash directly at Lei En.

However, Lei En had already anticipated half a step ahead; as Reslin teleported away, Lei En transformed into a bolt of lightning, soaring into the high sky, instantly breaching the clouds, moving with wind‑like speed.

Just after soaring several thousand meters, Aiken's figure appeared before him.

Boom!

A massive flaming sword blade split the horizon.

Lei En dodged the attack by a hair's breadth, plunging into the clouds, the battle hammer emitting a thunderous roar as he traversed the void, entering the Aether Plane for high‑speed flight.

Aiken pursued closely, also cutting into the Aether Plane.

Between their chase and escape, they vaulted skyward and earthward, traversing the void, leaping back and forth among the Prime Material Plane, Aether Plane, Shadow Plane, and Fey Plane; no matter how fast Lei En was, he could not shake this terrifying foe, yet he remained unhurried, focused solely on fleeing.

A few minutes later, Lei En traversed the void back to the Prime Material Plane, appearing on the New Continent.

Not far ahead, an intense battle was raging.

Three of Lei En's Mirror Images charged into the Abyss Knights, unleashing a slaughter; Lightning Slash, War Stomp, and Blade Storm attacked in succession, the Abyss Knights falling in sheets like wheat being reaped.

The pursuing Aiken, seeing this scene, felt his eyes burst with rage.

"Ah…"

"Human, I have recorded today's grievance. No matter which corner of the world you are in, I swear in the name of the Eternal Chosen that I will settle the blood debt with blood!"

"Aiken finally gave up the pursuit of Lei En and went to stop the three Mirror Images from slaughtering the knights under his command."

"Lei En did not attend to the Mirror Image, and vanished into the horizon in the blink of an eye."
