Swallowing the Stars: Heart of the Martial God

Chapter 119 Two versus One
Already at a disadvantage, Venerable Tianhua could no longer hold back and launched the first attack on Ling Xuan.

Moreover, they immediately began burning their divine power without any probing or taking any chances.

With a powerful stomp of its legs, its massive body, like a cannonball, charged towards Ling Xuan with a ferocious momentum, letting out a deafening roar: "Die!"

Ling Xuan's eyes sharpened. He used the Void Mirror above his head to protect his physical body, and his footwork changed instantly as he unleashed the exquisite steps of the Great Void Technique.

His figure was as elusive as a ghost, and he easily dodged Venerable Tianhua's first attack in the blink of an eye.

"You think you can hurt me so easily?"

Ling Xuan sneered and raised the Heaven-Slaying Blade high in his hand.

In an instant, the Great Sage Laws flowed across the blade, and the Holy Might condensed into visible golden patterns.

"Break through illusions!" Ling Xuan shouted, and the Heaven-Slaying Blade, imbued with the sharp edge of the Great Sage's Law, slashed towards Venerable Tianhua with an unstoppable momentum.

The blade sliced ​​through the void without any dazzling light, yet it carried an aura of domineering power that pierced through illusion and severed everything.

Wherever it passed, the divine power emanating from Venerable Tianhua was shattered into pieces by this sharp sword intent.

At the critical moment, the third blood-red eye between Tianhua Venerable's eyebrows emitted a burst of blood-red light, forming a protective shield of blood-red divine power that barely blocked the attack.

Seeing this, Herodo no longer hesitated.

With a thought, the Beast God Soldier Shield in front of him instantly transformed into 999 rhombus-shaped metal pieces.

These metal plates radiated a dazzling golden light, their surfaces engraved with mysterious blood-red runes. They spun rapidly in the void, emitting a buzzing sound.

Driven by his will, the metal pieces began to rapidly combine, instantly coalescing into a golden unicorn lizard.

—The Beast God of Gold.

"Die!" Venerable Tianhua roared, smashing his twin hammers at the two men.

The divine hammer on the left, with its unstoppable momentum, slammed down on Herodo's unicorn lizard. Even before the hammer arrived, the powerful force had already caused the ground to tremble slightly. The divine hammer on the right, with its tricky angle, aimed straight at Ling Xuan's vitals, its trajectory unpredictable and erratic.

Herodo controlled the unicorn lizard to meet the attack. The unicorn lizard's forepaws carried the heavy power of the Golden Void Law, steadily blocking the incoming divine hammer.

With a loud clang, like the ringing of a great bell, sparks flew and the air trembled instantly, forming visible ripples that spread outwards.

The unicorn lizard swayed slightly, but steadily withstood the attack.

At the same time, its long tail, covered with barbs, lashed out like a steel whip at an extremely fast speed toward Venerable Tianhua's hind leg. The barbs gleamed with a cold light, as if they were about to tear the opponent's leg apart.

Ling Xuan glided out like a ghost, the Heaven-Slaying Blade drawing a golden arc in his hand, the blade wheel carrying an invincible blade intent, heading straight for Venerable Tianhua's protective aura.

The sword intent was so domineering and powerful that wherever it passed, space seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand, making a "sizzling" sound.

Even before the sword intent made contact, Venerable Tianhua's protective aura began to fluctuate violently, like a small boat in a storm, which might be swallowed up by the surging waves at any moment, as if it were about to be eroded and disintegrated by this terrifying sword intent.

Venerable Tianhua roared repeatedly, feeling unprecedented pressure.

He suddenly twisted his body and changed direction, demonstrating amazing agility, and used both hammers to meet the attack.

The left hammer swiftly struck Ling Xuan's Heaven-Slaying Blade, the golden patterns on the hammer shining brightly, and a powerful force spreading out from the hammer. The right hammer, on the other hand, was tightly entangled by the long tail of the unicorn lizard. The barbs on the lizard's scales instantly popped out, flashing with the cold light of space cutting, and collided with the divine hammer, emitting a piercing scraping sound, as if metal was tearing at each other, making one's eardrums ache.

The Heaven-Slaying Blade and the Divine Hammer clashed once more, the dull thud echoing through the temple for a long time.

The sword intent surged wildly in from the point of impact. Venerable Tianhua felt an incomparably domineering force spreading along the hammer handle like a surging tide. Fine cracks instantly appeared on his protective aura, like a spider web.

The sword intent was like a bone-deep infection; once it touched him, it was difficult to get rid of, constantly eroding his divine body and causing the circulation of divine power within his body to become disordered.

However, the power of Venerable Tianhua's attack vanished upon touching the imperial might descending from the Void Mirror, having no effect whatsoever on Ling Xuan.

Even if his attacks are stronger.

Taking advantage of the moment, the Golden Beast God opened its mouth and unleashed a beam of golden light, imbued with the powerful force of the Golden Void Law. Like a golden dragon, it hurtled straight towards Venerable Tianhua's chest. The wolf shadow on Venerable Tianhua's protective shield twisted and struggled under this powerful attack, its light flickering as if it might be extinguished at any moment.

Ling Xuan seized this opening, his figure instantly becoming ethereal, as if merging into the void.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind Venerable Tianhua's left shoulder. The Heaven-Slaying Blade transformed into a straight golden line, its blade intent condensed to the extreme, like a deadly venomous snake, precisely piercing into the light barrier.

"Break through illusions!" Ling Xuan shouted, his blade trembling violently as the Great Sage Law and domineering sword intent surged in.

The divine power defense on Venerable Tianhua's shoulder instantly collapsed, and the sword intent directly acted on his divine body, causing him to groan in pain and tremble slightly. This sword instantly took away 2% of his divine power.

"Roar!" Venerable Tianhua was furious to the extreme. He charged forward and shot out a strange red light from his blood-red vertical eye. The red light exploded in the air and turned into countless points of light, trying to interfere with the enemy's perception.

At the same time, he gripped the divine hammer tightly with both hands and swung it violently to both sides, trying to get out of his current predicament.

Herodo controlled the unicorn lizard without dodging or avoiding, its spiral horn carrying the power of the Golden Void Law, like a high-speed rotating drill, crashing into Venerable Tianhua's side.

At the moment of contact, space was forcibly torn open, and fragments of space flew everywhere, as if space itself had been shattered by this force.

Zhou Heng's clone, being an energy-based life form, was completely unaffected by this move. It followed closely like a shadow, its wrist rapidly twisting, causing the trajectory of the Heaven-Slaying Blade to become unpredictable. Blade light appeared simultaneously from three different directions, and the blade intent permeated the entire space.

Wherever it passed, even the stable space inside the Primordial Star Treasure Temple seemed to be cut open, with tiny spatial cracks appearing and then quickly disappearing.

One of the blade beams grazed Tianhua Venerable's coccyx, and the blade intent instantly invaded, causing a sharp pain in his divine body, and his divine power was instantly annihilated by 0.3%.

Venerable Tianhua was both shocked and furious. He knew that if things continued like this, he would surely be defeated.

He gritted his teeth and combined the two hammers into one, transforming it into a giant warhammer.

The warhammer shimmered with secret runes, containing immense power, and crashed down on the two with a world-destroying momentum.

This hammer strike gathered all his understanding of the laws, and its power was several times stronger than before. The surrounding space was distorted and deformed by this powerful force, creating huge black holes that seemed to be able to devour everything, with an influence range of millions of kilometers.

Upon seeing this, the Golden Beast God roared and stomped its limbs on the ground, causing the ground to crack instantly under its power.

Its massive body shot out like an arrow, slamming its head into the side of the warhammer.

With a loud "bang," it seemed as if the heavens and earth trembled. The trajectory of the warhammer was forcibly deflected, and it crashed into the ground to the side, creating a huge crater in the palace floor. Cracks also appeared on the surrounding ground, spreading out like a spider web.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ling Xuan closed in, his Heaven-Slaying Blade pointing directly at Venerable Tianhua's blood-red vertical eye, his blade intent chilling, as if he wanted to annihilate the opponent's soul: "Your weakness is here!"

The Heaven-Slaying Blade unleashed boundless holy might, slashing out countless golden rays, each carrying the invincible intent of the blade, like a vast net enveloping Venerable Tianhua.

The Golden Beast God's long tail coiled around the warhammer like a serpent, its scales rising to form a golden barrier, sealing off Venerable Tianhua's retreat in a corner.

The blood-red runes on the barrier flickered, radiating a powerful binding force, attempting to firmly trap Venerable Tianhua.

Venerable Tianhua was caught in a pincer attack, making it extremely difficult for him to swing his warhammer.

He frantically burned his divine power, his warhammer blazing brightly, attempting to break through this predicament and escape.

However, each time his attack struck the golden barrier, it was bounced back, and the powerful recoil caused his divine power to be consumed even more rapidly.

Meanwhile, his protective aura grew dimmer and dimmer under the constant erosion of Ling Xuan's sword intent, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

Having already fought a fierce battle with the Black Feather Lord of the Northern Frontier Alliance, his divine power was already less than 80%, and now it's dropping even faster.

Ling Xuan's sword intent was like a leech, continuously eroding Tianhua Venerable's divine body.

Even with the protective shield of divine power, the domineering force still caused his body to ache with pain, as if countless small knives were cutting into his body, and he could be torn apart at any moment.

Venerable Tianhua frantically dodged and weaved within the temple, attempting to escape the two men's attacks.

He wielded his warhammer, sometimes sweeping it horizontally, sometimes smashing it vertically, each swing carrying immense power, trying to force his opponent back.
