Cries of despair and anguish echoed from the whip as soon as it was unveiled. Waves of malevolent energy resonated from within.Halbert whipped it toward Severin's direction, sending forth a cacophony of malicious and demonic energy that echoed for miles. The malevolent energy distorted the surrounding space, tearing apart even the glow of starlight.A swift, piercing sound was heard as a black light was slashed out from the Soul-Devouring Bone Whip. The black light stretched thousands of feet, and its thick beam carried with it the horrifying cries of innocent souls. The light covers a hundred feet in an instant, slicing through space like a hot knife through butter. Only a dark crack remained in its wake.The impending attack of the incoming black light caused Severin's expression to tense up. His body surged with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which flowed rapidly into his limbs and bones. Spurred on by that energy, his blood coursed through his body with the heat of t
Severin did not just stand and watch when Halbert unleashed that attack. He deployed his spiritual treasure and formed several intricate hand seals. The Sky-Soil Zenith—which resembled a sacred mountain—transformed into a stream of light and shattered the void as it advanced. Countless powerful winds followed, carrying a formidable aura as it surged right toward Halbert.The expansive black light was obliterated in a burst of fire under the impact of the Sky-Soil Zenith. The resulting shockwave caused all matter within a few miles in the starry sky to instantaneously collapse and form a rift in space. The reverberations of the aftermath spread across the air like ripples in a tranquil pond, extending several thousand miles away.Halbert noticed a tremendous increase in Severin's strength after the deployment of the Sky-Soil Zenith. Though he was a level five paragon, Halbert could tell that gaining the upper hand would not be that easy. Rather than grumble about the situation, he fel
Simeon's worst fear was that they might be implicated in a battle between prodigies. As Simoen withdrew his divine senses, a familiar energy within those weak waves caught his attention. After searching through his memories, he said, "Isn't that Severin?"Having exchanged blows with Severin prior to entering the Starry Sky Battlespace, Simeon recognized the distinctive fluctuations in Severin's aura. He had entered the Starry Sky Battlespace for one reason and one reason only—to ensure Severin's death. With that in mind, a surge of ruthless determination filled Simeon's eyes.He gazed at the nervous Tobias and said, "Severin is engaged in a battle several thousand miles away."Tobias's expression changed drastically. He gritted his teeth and urged Simeon, "We should head to the depths of the Starry Sky Battlespace first. Severin's combat prowess far surpasses ours, and those involved in the battle will be much stronger to us. We might be risking ourselves unnecessarily if we go over
Although Simeon was not clear why the evil practitioners were targeting Severin, he would root for Halbert as long as he could kill Severin. Only then would the burning hatred in his heart be appeased.Tobias could not help but shudder when he saw the crazed expression on Simeon's face. In fact, even before entering the Starry Sky Battlespace, Tobias was prepared. After all, the seventh-grade Breakthrough Pill of the Deifirm Sect was not so easily obtained.However, when it came to really facing Severin, Tobias could not help but feel scared and apprehensive. This was because, during the competition for the Wildfire royal paragon treasure in Artic Heights, Severin had left a deep fear in him.Tobias became even more horrified when he witnessed Severin, who was a level three paragon, actually engaging in a battle with a level five paragon. He could not shake off a vague sense of unease and wondered, 'Could he possibly win? No! That's impossible! Absolutely impossible!'Tobias quickl
It could be said that the number of prodigies in the entire Starry Sky Battlespace who possessed an elite-quality spiritual treasure did not exceed ten individuals! Sometimes the success or failure of a battle hinged on these elite-quality spiritual treasures.Given Severin's cultivation level then, he still found it quite strenuous to fully unleash the power within the elite-quality spiritual treasure he had.As a level three paragon, Severin could not control the elite-quality spiritual treasure for a long time. He was unable to achieve what a paragon cultivator could supposedly do, namely — shattering vast distances with a single strike.At best, he could only have the Flameless Pinnacle hovering above his head for defense and occasionally use it to strike opponents.It would be likely that a single strike would drain the spiritual energy from within his body, leaving him depleted, if he were to fully activate the true power of the elite-quality spiritual treasure. It was a dile
Above the battlefield, the battle between Severin and Halbert remained intense, but it was becoming gradually clear who had the upper hand.Halbert's attacks were fierce. The bone whip in his hand—mixed with the surrounding demonic energy—created a howling sound each time it whipped through the air, which unleashed numerous shockwaves and rifts in the surrounding void.Severin, however, found it harder and harder to defend himself, let alone put on an offense. He could only use the Flameless Pinnacle as a defensive treasure, placing it above his head for protection.Despite the formidable power of his True-Sun Fist technique, each explosive punch— resembling a brilliant sun—was swiftly engulfed and almost completely consumed by the vast demonic energy in front of Halbert.The sword beam unleashed by the Scarletsky Sword in Severin's hand was terrifying, sharp enough to cut through space, yet it was still blocked by Halbert's bone whip. After hundreds of exchanges, Severin's attac
After completing these actions, Halbert's expression turned solemn. He tightly gripped the Soul-Devouring Bone Whip which was flickering darkly, causing the aura of a level five paragon to erupt from his body.He then rushed towards the incoming Chaotic Swordshadow. His expression changed drastically the moment he made contact with the Chaotic Swordshadow, and he tried to retreat.In the next moment, a horrifying swordwill burst forth from the Chaotic Swordshadow. This chaotic swordwill, resembling the principles of the universe, surged with a majestic aura. Countless principles bombarded the purple cauldron above his head, creating a series of clashing sounds like a torrential downpour of lightning and thunder.The purple cauldron, which was a superior-quality spiritual treasure, endured the intense onslaught for only a few seconds. Cracks resembling porcelain spiderwebs began to appear on its surface, and finally, it exploded in the sky like a dazzling firework."How is this poss
Halbert was dead. The furious roar he let out before his death echoed for a long time across the sky.Severin breathed out a heavy sigh of relief after making sure the flame lotus had completely engulfed Halbert's body and extinguished his spiritual soul until there was no trace of him left."Phew. I finally got rid of him!"The intense battle had depleted Severin's spiritual energy significantly; if the battle had dragged on any longer, he might have found himself in a precarious situation.Despite having an elite-quality spiritual treasure, Severin did not dare to be overconfident in the face of Halbert's formidable strength, especially with his mysterious and powerful dark arts.Severin had to bring out all his trump cards to ensure his victory when fighting against a prodigy like Halbert.Fortunately, Halbert—perhaps accustomed to winning in battles—did not take Severin seriously. He was directly struck by the Chaotic Swordshadow, and his cultivation, lifespan, and cultivatio
