Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 496

In the face of an existence skilled in the Void Dao, simply running away is useless; choosing to fight head-on offers a glimmer of hope.

Even with only a slight difference in combat strength, the gap wouldn't be that significant in a desperate battle.

"It was discovered!"

Sage Kongming was somewhat surprised, not because he was discovered, but because the other party did not try to escape and even dared to launch a counterattack against him.

"Let me show you the true power of the eighth level of the Chaos Overlord."

Chapter 496 Eternity and Void

"Got you!"

Sphia traversed the layers of space. Although the other party was trying his best to control and change the layout of the entire maze, he still managed to find a weakness.

Unless the other party can take another step forward at this point and truly enter the realm of Void Dao, it cannot be concealed.

Creating is always harder than destroying, and similarly, solving a problem is easier than creating one, unless the creator is on a higher level than the solver.

However, it is clear that the Saint of Emptiness has only reached the eighth level in terms of strength, not the eighth level of the ultimate path.

wow...

With a single axe strike, Sphia's clone cleaved through space, revealing the Void Saint enveloped in silver light at the boundary of that space.

“Origin Clan, your understanding of the Void Dao is indeed quite good, and you are very talented. If we weren’t enemies, we might have become good friends.”

As the one who created this spatial labyrinth, the Sage of Emptiness could also clearly sense the progress his opponent made in their interactions with him.

This attitude of progressing through collision and exchange was also what he pursued, but the result was that it was applied to the enemy.

Thinking of this, even the Void Saint, the ruler of chaos, couldn't help but feel a trace of jealousy, and... a strong killing intent.

"But that's it!"

The Sage of Emptiness raised his right hand, and the entire Earthly Labyrinth began to flow again, with countless spatial forces condensing across the void in his palm.

boom……

As the Sphia clone entered his field of vision, the Void Saint slowly brought his raised right hand down.

A giant golden energy hand suddenly appeared, covered with dense patterns.

Through the golden light, one can also see countless overlapping honeycomb-like spatial structures.

"Void in the palm!"

This move is the highest secret technique created by the Sage of Emptiness and Clarity after comprehending the form of the void and the earth.

Within that single move lay all his lifelong understanding of the void and the laws of nature.

hum...

Sphia's clone suddenly looked up at the sky. The ethereal saint above him was like a Buddha, trying to suppress him under the Five Finger Mountain.

Under the giant golden hand, the space around Sphia's clone was completely sealed off. If attacked with all one's might, it would still be possible to break through the suppression.

However, doing so would be tantamount to being caught completely off guard by the opponent's attack.

Therefore, there is only one option: to take the hit head-on.

The giant golden hand, composed of countless interwoven spaces and countless small worlds, struck with the force of a massive universe.

"A palm? Too bad I'm not Sun Wukong, and you're not Buddha."

Sphia's clone gripped the axe in both hands, the muscles beneath his clothes surging, and the pounding of his heart reverberated through the void like a giant drum.

"Shatter the void!"

A loud roar rang out, followed by a dazzling axe light that slashed directly at the golden palm that came crashing down from above.

The axe light looked very rough, but the moment it intertwined with the golden palm, it suddenly multiplied into countless forms. Then, like a skilled butcher dissecting an ox, countless tiny axe lights fell into the lines of the giant golden palm.

crunch...

The space that formed the golden palm began to be divided apart by the axe light. Some connections were broken, some were shattered, and some axe lights even penetrated directly through the gaps in space.

wow...

Before the golden palm could even land on the head of the Sphia clone, countless axe beams exploded from within it, severing two fingers.

At the same time, some of the axe lights that had passed through the golden palm converged again and slashed directly at the Void Saint.

when…

A metallic sound rang out as the Sage of Emptiness stretched out his right hand and crushed the axe light, but a tiny wound appeared on his palm, with trickles of blood seeping out.

"This time, the enemy."

As the Saint of Emptiness looked at the blood seeping into his hand, his expression also became solemn.

Although his opponent seemed to be a level below him, the actual battle was much more affected by the circumstances, unlike the pure challenge of clearing levels.

Not to mention some trump cards that you'd never use when clearing levels, but you'd have to consider them during battles.

boom……

"Eat my axe!"

On the other side, Sphia's clone swung his axe again, completely annihilating the golden palm, and then charged directly at the Void Saint above with the axe in hand.

Faced with the close approach of Sphia's clone, the seemingly weak and frail Sage Kongming showed no fear and directly swung his hand, which was enveloped in light, at the giant axe.

As a top-tier Chaos Ruler, his divine body is naturally not weak, especially under the transformation of the Chaos Laws. Not only his soul, but also his once fragile body has been repaired.

For the Chaos Ruler, even without using defensive stances or supreme treasures, simply standing there and allowing True Gods or even Void True Gods to attack would leave him completely unharmed.

Of course, that was when facing a weak true god. Even when facing attacks from beings of the same level, the Chaos Ruler dared not underestimate it.

In the hands of the Sage of Emptiness, a special fluid treasure had already covered his body.

"Emptiness!"

The Sage of Emptiness blocked the axe with one hand, and with the other hand clenched into a fist, he blasted at the divine body of Sphia's clone from a distance.

wow...

A pure black spatial line was drawn out, a manifestation of space being compressed to its extreme, and also the ultimate expression of emptiness and void.

The spatial attack was too fast. By the time Sphia's clone reacted, a square hole had already appeared in his abdomen.

Moreover, this void seems to connect to the real outside world, where a large amount of divine power that was trying to repair the body was being consumed, almost causing a bloodletting effect.

However, if it is not repaired, the void is also devouring divine power, making it almost like a black hole.

However, this only applies to ordinary Chaos Rulers. The divine power genes within Sphia's clone started operating spontaneously.

The invisible and formless power directly devoured all foreign objects that came into contact with the body.

"Hmm? Could it be that he also cultivated some special divine body technique?"

Seeing the Sphia clone recover in an instant, the Void Saint's heart stirred, and he once again raised his level of attention to the enemy.

"Nothing more than that!"

Sphia's clone suddenly pulled back the giant axe, and a mental attack swept across the area.

It is a will attack of the level of a Chaos Overlord, which can easily sweep away a group of Eternal True Gods, but it is completely helpless against Chaos Overlords of the same level.

Although there is nothing we can do, it doesn't mean it's useless.

For true gods, if one side uses an attack from another dimension, such as a will attack, although it cannot harm them, it will force them to use an equivalent will attack in return.

Otherwise, simply enduring it will cause considerable disruption to oneself.

Both sides used suppression attacks simultaneously. Although neither could defeat the other, they were forced to expend some energy, which weakened their potential and narrowed the absolute gap between them.

After all, there is a full 100 difference between 100 and 200, but there is only a 50 difference between 50 and 100.

"He has a very strong will and resilience."

The Sage of Emptiness also used a will attack, but found that his will seemed to be slightly weaker than his opponent's.

With the combined effects of 100,000 times the genetic bonus, cosmic fusion, and mental enhancement, even though the will of the Sphia clone did not reach the God-King level due to time constraints, it was still nearly invincible at the Chaos Overlord level.

Tear!

In a clash of wills, Sphia's clone slashed the Void Saint's palm with an axe, drawing out a trail of blood.

With the attack of willpower failing somewhat, it directly interfered with the attack of divine power, allowing Sphia's clone to also break through the defenses of the Void Saint.

"Damn it!"

When the Sage of Emptiness felt the injury on his hand, he was filled with shock and anger. He had clearly held an absolute advantage, but now his opponent was gradually leveling the score.

The opponent found a flaw in his understanding of the Void Dao, and his absolute strength was also weakened by his will. The Void Saint could no longer maintain his superior attitude and had to put his opponent on the same level as himself.

"I admit I've always underestimated you!"

The Sage of Emptiness did not suppress his anger, but instead allowed his divine power to burn rapidly as he indulged in his rage.

At this moment, remaining calm is of little use; instead, anger is needed to ignite the will to fight.

Because the opponent is no longer an enemy he can easily subdue, but someone he can only completely defeat by having the same determination to fight to the death.

If you continue to hold onto the idea of ​​an easy victory or minimizing the cost, you'll find it difficult to even defeat them, let alone kill them.

"go to hell!"

The figure of the Void Saint was suddenly raised a level, and the surrounding space trembled continuously, echoing the chaotic space within his body.

Heaven and man are one!

Within the body of the Sage of Emptiness, layers of spatial folds appeared on the surface of the chaotic space, directly projecting the void landscape onto the chaotic space and maximizing the output power of divine power.

Are you ready to fight to the death?

Sphia's clone gripped the giant axe with both hands, its eyes gleaming with gold and silver light.

"The Way of Void, the Way of Eternity, the Way of Life."

Apart from the Destruction Dao, which is difficult to use, and the World Dao, which is completely unusable, Sphia's clone also held nothing back, integrating all her original Dao insights into the attack.

Unlike the Void Path, which has nine meridians, the Eternal Path only has six meridians.
