Chapter 784: 782 Distorted Weapons
With the enhancement of "Greedless - Greed Defense," the defensive power of treasures like the Void Crown and the Apocalypse Heavenly Skeleton Armor had steeply increased.
Moreover, as the defensive power of the Apocalypse Heavenly Skeleton Armor increased, Zhou Bai's Primordial Spirit's strength became even more stable and robust, and after being channeled into the Void Crown, it had bolstered many more protective capabilities.
With the combined effect of the two, the Void Throne, which was on the brink of collapsing under the ferocious assault of Tu Tianmo, had steadied considerably, managing to hold on despite being almost at the point of collapse.
However, having observed that Tu Tianmo's aura of green luck had already been thoroughly plundered by himself, Zhou Bai was no longer content with being on the defensive.
He let out a long howl, his Primordial Spirit's power mixing with his voice and spreading outwards, causing the broken rocks on the ground to tremble wildly, several ruins collapsing with a thunderous sound.
"Tu Tianmo, I've seen your swordsmanship, and it is indeed exquisite and unparalleled, yet you still haven't managed to injure me in the slightest. Since that's the case, it's now your turn to take a move from me."
Just as a curious expression flickered across Tu Tianmo's face, wondering what move Zhou Bai was planning to execute,
Zhou Bai blinked and saw that within the fleeting figure of Tu Tianmo, a slow-emerging beam of green light had appeared.
'How the hell is it growing so fast?'
Zhou Bai thought about it for a moment, then his eyes brightened, and he spoke again regarding Tu Tianmo's sword maneuvers, "Oh? Your Purple Qi Bright Light Swordplay has even more advanced variations?"
Zhou Bai spoke with an expression of delighted surprise, "Then display it with all your might. Exert all your strength and try to injure me!"
Tu Tianmo thought to himself, "Hmm? Did I inadvertently comprehend a new variation of Purple Qi Bright Light Swordplay? But that's not right... I had long since integrated Purple Qi Bright Light Swordplay into my body as a part of me without any new changes... What is this youngster getting at?"
Moved by the prospect, Tu Tianmo decided to strike with greater force. He made a hand seal, and beams of purple light burst forth violently from his body: "Heaven and Earth without end, borrow the laws of nature, laws arise from the heart, endless and immortal!"
Then one saw twelve black and white flying swords shoot out from the depths of the Luotian Realm, six white swords merging with the Heavenly Yang Sword Light and six black swords with the Xuan Yin Sword Energy.
These twelve flying swords were all Nine Realms Flying Swords, created by Tu Tianmo using the treasures he had accumulated after Heavenly Dao warped and Immortal Artifacts were damaged and could no longer be used. They were specially tailored to complement his Purple Qi Bright Light Swordplay.
However, to avoid wearing out the flying swords, he would not use them lightly under normal circumstances.
The six white swords emitted an incredibly domineering and intense masculine aura, complementing the Heavenly Yang Sword Light perfectly.
The six black swords became formless, like six shadows, disappearing without a trace with a bone-chilling cold, blending seamlessly with Xuan Yin Sword Energy.
When these twelve Nine Realms Flying Swords were infused into the swordplay, the might of Tu Tianmo's move increased manifold instantly.
The Void Crown, which had been barely holding on, was completely obliterated under the assault of the sword light and sword energy, with a loud boom.
But Zhou Bai opened his mouth and spat out the third Void Crown.
At the same time, having absorbed three strands of green luck, another point of green light was added to "Greedless - Greed Defense," and all the treasures seemed even more stable, a faint halo of light emerging around them.
Gazing at the newly appeared Void Crown, Tu Tianmo fell silent for a while, then coldly said, "It doesn't matter how many times you bring it out, your turtle shell is the same. I'll shatter as many as you present."
With those words, his swordplay escalated once more, the twelve Nine Realms Flying Swords whipped up a fierce sword intent, once again heading towards Zhou Bai with a murderous approach, causing the air itself to scream and the entire Heavenly Arena to tremble violently.
If it hadn't been in the Heavenly Arena, but on ordinary land instead, they would undoubtedly have fought until the heavens cracked and the earth shattered, completely altering the landscape within a hundred miles.
It had not been easy to expend a tremendous amount of effort to break through the third and fourth Void Crown. Witnessing the appearance of the fifth Void Crown, the sword momentum of the Heavenly Demon momentarily stalled.
Zhou Bai had taken advantage of this moment to completely strip away the Heavenly Demon's fortunate destiny from above his head. Not to mention the favor of the azure Heavenly Dao, Zhou Bai had harvested every last bit of fortune of any color.
His "Greedless - Greed Defense" had added six azure lights just today, directly boosting its effectiveness to "share two and a half percent of your defensive power with a magical artifact controlled by your Primordial Spirit."
With this series of enhancements, the Void Crown, Apocalypse Heavenly Skeleton Armor, and Abyss Nether Dragon Armor all manifested a layer of ethereal light on their surfaces, standing firm within the deluge of Sword Qi and sword light, appearing more robust and majestic.
On the side of the Heavenly Demon, breaking through the first Void Crown had seemed somewhat effortless, but as he successively broke through the second, third, and fourth, the ease gradually became slightly awkward, then shifted to being somewhat obstructed, and then it became hard.
Now, with a slash at this fifth Void Crown, the Heavenly Demon suddenly worried whether his Nine Realms Flying Sword would be damaged.
"How many more of these damned crowns does Zhou Bai have?"
"And each one is tougher than the last. Will there be even tougher ones to come?"
At this moment, the Heavenly Demon suddenly felt silly chopping them down one by one in the projection.
After releasing the fifth Void Crown, Zhou Bai seemed dissatisfied with just passively defending, and bursts of Primordial Spirit energy erupted, fiercely colliding with the Sword Qi and sword light.
"We can't go on like this."
…
Inside the Floating Palace, Tu Tianmo watched this scene with a slight frown. He couldn't imagine how strong Zhou Bai's defense was, especially that ring-shaped Immortal Artifact. Its defensive power was simply inconceivable. If he were to take Zhou Bai's place, he certainly wouldn't be able to break the ring as effortlessly as the Heavenly Demon did.
"No... If it were me, I would probably die of exhaustion without being able to breach this defense."
"But defense alone is useless," Tu Tianmo sighed inwardly. "Once my father uses that weapon, Zhou Bai is definitely going to lose."
Although he didn't know the name of that weapon, its make, or who had made it.
But Tu Tianmo had personally witnessed the Heavenly Demon wielding that weapon, and it was definitely not something human strength could contend with.
The very thought of that weapon caused Tu Tianmo's eyes to uncontrollably betray a shimmer of terror.
…
In the Luotian Realm, the Heavenly Demon no longer wished to wear Zhou Bai down any further. With a slight tremor of his Primordial Spirit, a weapon he had always been reluctant to use floated slowly from the depths of the Luotian Realm.
It was a city-destroying level Aberrant Weapon.
What appeared before the Heavenly Demon was a completely transparent bottle, crafted from a material that looked like crystal.
This city-destroying level Aberrant Weapon, named the Yuan Yang Divine Light Bottle, could release Heavenly Yang Sword Light that covered tens of miles.
Anything enveloped by the Heavenly Yang Sword Light would experience a temperature increase of 10 degrees per second.
