Honghuang Taihuang

Chapter 118 Victory and Defeat

His gloomy face turned deathly pale. Luo Hou wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and the demonic energy that had been completely extinguished around him rose again. He absorbed the 12th-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus that had been severely damaged beneath his feet into his body.

Rahu slowly raised the Great Heavenly Demon Blade in his palm, looking at Taiwei above, whose starlight had dimmed. In an instant, his figure transformed into a streak of black lightning and rushed to Taiwei's front.

The sounds of swords clashing, which had just ceased for a moment, rang out again. Countless sparks exploded in the now-dark Boundless Realm, with silvery-white sparks colliding and tearing apart with pitch-black demonic flames.

On the Heavenly River Sword Embryo, star patterns representing the Twenty-Eight Mansions lit up one after another. With a single slash of Taiwei's sword, the Twenty-Eight Mansions appeared one after another.

Twenty-eight top-tier divine beasts roared, unleashing a starlight even more magnificent and refined than the Four Divine Beasts, once again suppressing the Great Heavenly Demon Blade light that Rahu had unleashed.

Luo Hou seemed to have developed a competitive spirit with Taiwei. Taiwei was currently displaying his Star Emperor clone, showing only a large robe with ten radiant vortex patterns and the Falling World Star River Sword technique.

Luo Hou only used the Twelfth Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus and his own Great Heavenly Demon Blade Light, aiming to defeat Taiwei's Star Emperor clone under the same conditions.

As Taiwei watched the thousands of fierce sword lights fall before him once again, the Heavenly River Sword Embryo gathered countless starlight, evolving into star fields that trapped all the fierce sword lights that fell.

The Heavenly River Sword Embryo rotated, and streaks of silver-white sword light pierced out, blocking countless dark lightning bolts.

The extreme black and the dazzling white collided continuously, the starlight on Taiwei's body was constantly extinguished and burned, and the streaks of pitch-black lightning that shot out in front of Luohou were also extinguished one after another at this moment.

But in the next instant, the dark, turbid blade light that swallowed everything and destroyed heaven and earth engulfed all the light between heaven and earth. The surging silver-white starlight around Taiwei was swallowed and absorbed by this blade light at this moment.

The increasingly dark and profound sword light continued to expand within the Boundless Realm. Before Taiwei, the four sacred beasts—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—reappeared. The majestic power of the star-sacred beasts descended once more, resisting Rahu's sword light that was meant to destroy everything in the world.

The sounds of dragons roaring, phoenixes singing, tigers howling, and turtles bellowing rang out continuously. Four extremely dazzling starlight beams of blue, red, black, and white exploded with a rumbling sound, trying to crush the domineering blade light unleashed by Rahu.

However, the overwhelming, all-consuming blade light in front of Rahu became even more profound and mysterious at this moment. Silently, the silvery sword energy and the profound blade light intersected, a large burst of blood appeared on Taiwei's chest, and Rahu's left arm was also sliced ​​off by a dazzling starlight.

The burning sparks died out one after another. Taiwei looked at the black knife mark on his chest. The Ten-Radiance Whirlpool Pattern Robe on his body kept burning with starlight, trying to erase the demonic energy and demonic intent on the knife mark.

However, no matter how much the Ten-Radiance Whirlwind Robe drew upon the power of the stars, the demonic thoughts and intentions on this dark blade mark were constantly being created and destroyed, continuously eroding the very foundation of Taiwei's Star Emperor avatar.

Similarly, on Luo Hou's broken shoulder, silvery-white starlight was also burning fiercely, but it was instantly extinguished by the fierce sword cry that suddenly rang out from within Luo Hou's body.

Rahu's severed left arm also regenerated in an instant. Compared to Rahu, who was protected by the Taixu Treasure, Taiwei's Star Emperor incarnation was ultimately at a disadvantage.

The vast and dazzling Fallen Star River Sword erupted once more, and Taiwei's figure transformed into countless starlight sword energies that enveloped Luo Hou's figure. Star systems, galaxies, celestial bodies, and star vortexes appeared and rotated one after another.

The destructive blade light that tore everything apart before Luo Hou shattered countless star systems, and the dark lightning, carrying the deepest demonic power in the world, transformed all planets and celestial bodies into demonic stars.

As the starlight burned, the black lotuses rooted on the planet were burned to ashes. Taiwei appeared directly in front of Luo Hou, and the Falling Star River Sword, unleashed with all its might, tore apart the thousands of intertwined black lightning bolts in front of Luo Hou.

As a burst of blood spurted out, Taiwei looked at the Zhutian Sword piercing through his chest. His surging aura vanished instantly. Luo Hou's body was surrounded by the Zhutian Sword, the Xiantian Sword, and the Juetian Sword. The three killing swords intertwined and blocked Taiwei's sword light, which was far more dazzling than before.

Faced with a supreme treasure of the Void, even if Taiwei's Falling Star River Sword were several times stronger, it would absolutely not be able to break through these three supreme killing swords.

"I noticed you were only using the Great Heavenly Demon Blade, and I thought you'd changed your ways over the years. But I didn't expect you to still be so ruthless. Are you trying to lower my guard by not using the Four Heavenly Swords?"

The Zhutian Sword flew back to Luo Hou's side. The light of Taiwei's Ten-Radiance Whirlpool Pattern Robe dimmed, and a sword hole that was open from front to back appeared on the star robe. Taiwei's Star Emperor clone's aura began to decline rapidly, and in just a few breaths, it had already dropped to the early stage of the Taiyi realm.

"Indeed, I will use every means to achieve victory. You must have a trump card to deal with beings of the same level if you leave this clone behind. I will not give you the chance to use that trump card."

With a wave of his hand, Luo Hou unleashed four deadly swords—the Zhulu Xianjue Sword and the Zhulu Sword—which transformed into four streams of light that pierced through Taiwei's limbs, extinguishing all the starlight that had just appeared on Taiwei's body.

A dark and profound demonic light appeared, and at the same time, another supreme treasure of the Void, the World-Destroying Millstone, appeared in Luo Hou's hand. Without giving Taiwei any chance to fight back, the World-Destroying Millstone, carrying the aura of destruction of heaven and earth, was like a bright and profound dark sun, and directly hit Taiwei.

boom!!

The pitch-black demonic light pierced through the entire Boundless Realm. Even though the power of the Supreme Treasure of the Void was not yet unsealed, it far surpassed that of the Supreme Treasure of Creation. Taiwei, whose limbs were pierced by the Four Swords of Heaven-Slaying, had no power to resist at all. His entire Star Emperor clone had been ground to dust by the Great Millstone of Annihilation.

After a long while, the rampant Guixu Qi and demonic flames were slowly withdrawn by Luo Hou. All the Qi and starlight of Taiwei had dissipated. Seeing the Wujian Great Realm return to its dark state, Luo Hou's tense mind finally relaxed, and another trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Luo Hou looked at the bloodstains on his palm with a gloomy expression. Taiwei's cultivation progress was even beyond his expectations. Just a clone left over from the beginning of creation was able to fight him to a draw when he fully displayed the essence of the Great Heavenly Demon Blade.

If Taiwei hadn't suffered the calamity and had continued cultivating until now, he would probably still be completely suppressed by Taiwei.

Fortunately, Taiwei has now undergone a tribulation, so even if Taiwei left behind a few backup plans in the primordial world, it is not a big deal and cannot really pose much of a threat to him.

"Having eliminated a potential problem, don't you feel a sense of relief?"

A familiar yet mocking voice suddenly rang out in the deathly silent Boundless Realm. Rahu's body trembled, and his eyes stared in disbelief at Taiwei, which had reappeared in the center of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
