Chapter 560: The Longest Battle Ever!

"This power isn't bad!"

Li Xuanfeng clenched his fist, clearly feeling his power surge significantly.

Any other Mid-Stage Saint King would have found it impossible to drain both Lian Yuezhou and the Hundred Flowers Great Sage simultaneously; that vast, galaxy-like power would be enough to make a Saint King explode.

"It should be enough to finish the battle."

Li Xuanfeng's body slowly rose into the air.

Currently, he had only temporarily reached the Late-Stage Saint King level; once his power was exhausted, he would drop back to the Middle Stage.

Boom!

Crack!

The Formation barrier was on the verge of shattering, but it had managed to hold on until now and could even last a bit longer, though the area it occupied had been greatly compressed by the Star Illusion Heavenly God.

Li Xuanfeng rose into the air like a streak of light and flew to the barrier. He pressed his palm against it, and Chaos Holy Power spread from his palm throughout the Formation. The cracks covering the barrier were repaired in the blink of an eye, making it incredibly solid. Even as the Star Illusion Heavenly God controlled the Formation to strike it, it remained unshakable.

"Hmm?!"

The Star Illusion Heavenly God's gaze turned toward Li Xuanfeng, locking onto him. Her deep pupils were like brilliant galactic vortices.

"Can he do it?"

The Hundred Flowers Great Sage sat down cross-legged on the spot to seize the chance to recover her power, but her attention remained fixed on Li Xuanfeng.

Being able to drain her power with a Mid-Stage Saint King cultivation spoke volumes. However, it was still unknown exactly how strong Li Xuanfeng was now; he had to make a move for his true strength to be seen.

Whoosh!

Li Xuanfeng stepped out of the Formation barrier like a fish leaping out of water.

Without any nonsense, the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation Sword appeared in his hand. The next moment, a brilliant sword light illuminated the Void Realm, slashing down at the Formation controlled by the Star Illusion Heavenly God.

Swish!

The transparent Formation barrier, which looked like an inverted glass bowl, was split in two.

Swish, swish, swish!

Li Xuanfeng struck again. The sword light was like sharp lines cutting through space, slashing horizontally and vertically across the two halves of the barrier.

Bang!

The Formation barrier was sliced into countless fragments before collapsing with a roar, then dissipating into energy particles in the Void Realm.

"It's broken?!"

The Hundred Flowers Great Sage was filled with shock.

The Star Illusion Heavenly God's own strength was equivalent to a Top-tier Great Sage of the Canglan Realm. The power she could unleash when fully driving the Formation was even stronger. The Hundred Flowers Great Sage could only barely contend with her by controlling the Formation with Lian Yuezhou's help.

Even if both Lian Yuezhou and Li Xuanfeng had poured their power into her, she felt she would only be slightly stronger than the Star Illusion Heavenly God and might gain a slight advantage through the Formation; she certainly wouldn't have been able to break it so easily.

Yet Li Xuanfeng had unleashed a barrage of sword light and instantly slashed the Formation apart!

"Who are you?!"

A shout like the voice of the Heavenly Dao rang out. The Star Illusion Heavenly God, whose body looked like a glazed starry sky yet was exceptionally enchanting, had at some point grown to over ten thousand feet tall. She looked down at Li Xuanfeng from above, as if she had become the Incarnation of the Heavenly Dao's will.

Li Xuanfeng said nothing, thrusting his long sword straight toward her.

Crack!

The scene before him shattered like a mirror; the illusion realm was broken.

"Who are you?!"

The same scene reappeared; Li Xuanfeng was still within an illusion realm.

Li Xuanfeng frowned slightly, his long sword gathering terrifying power as he thrust it out again.

Crack!

"Who are you?!"

Crack!

"Who are you?!"

Crack!

"Who are you?!"

It was unknown how many layers of identical illusion realms the Star Illusion Heavenly God had stacked. Her shout and the sound of the illusion realms shattering repeated in a loop.

Li Xuanfeng saw one illusion realm after another shatter rapidly under the impact of the sword light, seemingly without end. It felt as if he would be trapped in these identical illusion realms forever, with death being the only escape.

Or perhaps, he could only escape the illusion realm after answering the Star Illusion Heavenly God's question.

But how could Li Xuanfeng answer?

Intangible and vast Soul Power surged out. Since obtaining the Great Dream Reincarnation Art, this was the first time Li Xuanfeng had used it with all his might. Since the illusion realm targeted the Soul, it was naturally easier to break with a powerful Soul Secret Technique.

"Who are you? You? You? You…"

Crack, crack, crack… In an instant, thousands of identical illusion realms shattered at once. The scene before Li Xuanfeng finally changed, returning to the real world.

In the distance, the Star Illusion Heavenly God rubbed her hands together, condensing a miniature galaxy. She then hurled it toward the space between Li Xuanfeng's brows at an unimaginable speed.

Li Xuanfeng didn't dodge, nor could he. At their level, attacks automatically locked onto the Soul and Physical Body; dodging was useless, one could only break through them.

Innate Spirit Fire power, Chaos Golden Bone power, lightning power, and Chaos Holy Power all condensed onto the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation Sword, causing the sword to hum and tremble.

Swish!

The sword light dazzled the world, as if splitting heaven and earth. In the pupils of Lian Yuezhou and the Hundred Flowers Great Sage, who were watching the battle from afar, only a field of pure white remained.

Boom!

The collision of terrifying energies caused an explosion. The Sui Xing Battlefield, which spanned one light-year in diameter, was completely submerged. Such power was enough to grind star systems into cosmic dust.

However, under the terrifying Formation Patterns, such immense energy only managed to shake the entire battlefield without causing any substantial damage to it.

Swish!

Before the aftershocks had dissipated, another sword light slashed out from within the blindingly white energy.

This sword light wasn't aimed at the Star Illusion Heavenly God, but toward another direction in the distance.

"Save…"

A terrified voice had just begun to sound before being swallowed by the torrent of energy.

A Middle God of the Bee-Ant Clan, who had been hidden perfectly and hadn't shown his face since Li Xuanfeng arrived, was reduced to ashes in that moment.

However, he had been following the Star Illusion Heavenly God's orders and had already activated his Innate Divine Ability, sharing everything he saw and heard with his peers and higher-ranking clan members.

From Li Xuanfeng breaking through to the Late-Stage Saint King level using the Formation's power, to slashing through the Formation, to seeing through the illusion realm, to the direct clash with the Star Illusion Heavenly God, and finally to the moment he killed the Bee-Ant Clan Middle God with a single sword strike—all these scenes were shared through the Innate Divine Ability.

Boom!

Before the previous aftershocks had faded, a new collision occurred. Energy billowed across the entire battlefield. Magnificent fire lotuses, like lotus lamps drifting on a lake, appeared in dense clusters, releasing their final brilliant light with world-ending power.

Destructive Fire Lotus!

Innate Spirit Fire was no longer particularly powerful for the current Li Xuanfeng, but the top-ranked Nine Heavens Thunder Spirit Fire had been cleansed and strengthened with each of his tribulations, and its power far exceeded other Spirit Fires.

Combined with Li Xuanfeng's Chaos Holy Power, the might of the Destructive Fire Lotus naturally surged dramatically.

The violent energy explosion swept across the Sui Xing Battlefield. If the Formation barrier hadn't still been there, both Lian Yuezhou and the Hundred Flowers Great Sage would have been affected.

The pupils of the recovering Hundred Flowers Great Sage reflected the gorgeous energy. The blinding energy light, which could have blinded many Cultivators, did not affect her as she witnessed the entire process of the battle.

Li Xuanfeng's strength was beyond imagination.

However, the Star Illusion Heavenly God's strength was not to be underestimated either. The battle between the two continued. The Innate Divine Ability that the Illusion God Clan excelled at was useless against Li Xuanfeng, who possessed the Great Dream Reincarnation Art, so the Star Illusion Heavenly God could only go head-to-head with him.

The xuanhuang pagoda was also summoned by Li Xuanfeng, growing rapidly in the wind until its base covered the entire Sui Xing Battlefield before pressing down.

On the fire phoenix azure dragon armor, phantoms of a Phoenix and an Azure Dragon emerged. The long sword radiated lightning light, and the Destructive Fire Lotus exploded again and again.

As a Top-tier Upper God who was even a notch stronger than the Hundred Flowers Great Sage, the Star Illusion Heavenly God could only defend against the current Li Xuanfeng and had no chance to counterattack.

Her enchanting and curvaceous body was blown apart by Li Xuanfeng again and again; with each explosion, her aura weakened a bit more.

However, even though he controlled Chaos Force, Li Xuanfeng couldn't kill her instantly; the Star Illusion Heavenly God's vitality was extremely tenacious.

This battle, in which Li Xuanfeng held a clear advantage, lasted for an entire month!

Only when the last wisp of the Star Illusion Heavenly God's aura vanished was the fall of this Top-tier Upper God announced.

This was also the longest battle Li Xuanfeng had fought since he began to Cultivate!
