Honghuang Taihuang

Chapter 73 A Thousand Layers of Clothing, A Battle to the Death

Thousands upon thousands of stars fell from the sky, and the dazzling, blinding sword energy trails continued to pierce down, forcing Tianxu, who was fighting with his sword, to retreat time and time again.

In terms of physical strength and understanding of the way of swordsmanship, Taiwei is slightly weaker than Tianxu.

However, with the help of burning his own natal core, Taiwei's explosive power was even greater than Tianxu's, so Taiwei had no intention of retreating at all.

Since it has been said that the strong possess everything and the weak lose everything, Taiwei will prove that he is stronger than Tianxu in every aspect!

A high-pitched sword cry echoed from the Seven Star Dragon Abyss. The dark crescent moon sword light once again met the golden streak. The moment the two collided, several high mountains behind Taiwei and Tianxu were instantly destroyed by the fierce hurricane.

Amidst the constant collisions and entanglements of the raging spiritual energy, the land, mountains, rivers, and lakes within a million miles of Taiwei and Tianxu have been completely transformed into a vast yellow desert. All living things within it have been ground into the finest sand by the ever-surging and intertwining spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Amidst the heavy, dark, roaring sandstorm, Taiwei swung the Seven Star Dragon Abyss sword down once more. Amidst the burst of blood, Tianxu's left hand gripped the falling Seven Star Dragon Abyss sword.

Ignoring the two fingers that had been cut off, Tianxu wore an almost manic smile as his seven-foot-long sword pierced Taiwei's chest with a terrifying shriek.

As he spat out blood, a fierce glint appeared in Taiwei's eyes. The Dragon-Tiger Pill between his brows crashed down like a great sun surrounded by layers of crimson flames, blasting Tianxu and his sword tens of thousands of miles away.

Amidst the splattering of countless drops of blood, Tianxu's left arm and left half of his body had completely vanished. The purplish-gold Dao light transformed into a purplish-gold flame comparable to the true fire of the sun, continuously burning and devouring the essence and vitality within Tianxu's body.

However, Taiwei and Tianxu quickly recovered from their injuries. As beings at the level of Primordial True Saint, such injuries were not considered serious damage to them.

Countless gaps reappeared on the Seven Star Dragon Abyss, and the Seven Star Dragon Abyss, a spiritual treasure, was still no match for the seven-foot-long sword in Tianxu's hand.

Seeing this, Taiwei didn't care. He released the Seven Star Dragon Abyss from his palm, and a dark sword light, like a blue dragon, blasted away Tianxu who was coming to kill him.

Taiwei waved his sleeves, and layers of Yin and Yang energies circulated, forming countless chains that bound the golden longsword that was slashing down in front of him.

The yellow sand beneath his feet trembled, and Taiwei's body shook. A trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth as he looked at the golden longsword that had cleaved through countless yin and yang energies in front of him. His purple and white robes fluttered in the wind.

Countless strands of yin and yang, strength and gentleness, permeated Taiwei's entire body, weaving a gauze garment as thin as a cicada's wing, shimmering with starlight.

One of the twelve branches of the Mysterious Pivot, the Thousand-Layer Robe, is a supernatural power derived from the true meaning of Yin and Yang, hardness and softness. It uses the power of Vajra to create a defense comparable to a mountain, and uses the power of Yin to deflect all attacks from heaven and earth.

With the combination of strength and gentleness, Taiwei's Thousand Layers of Clothing Divine Power was almost perfected. Under the thin veil covering his body, Taiwei clasped his hands together. As the strength and gentleness surged, the golden longsword, which was comparable to lightning, changed from extreme movement to extreme stillness. The longsword, which carried terrifying destructive power, was held between Taiwei's hands.

The Water and Fire Tai Chi Diagram also appeared beneath Taiwei. Between the burning of Ren Gui True Water and Bing Ding True Fire, the water and fire energies on Tianxu's body constantly collided, tearing apart the origin of his physical body.

However, Tianxu showed no sign of pain at all. His maniacal, joyful laughter never stopped, and under the golden flames, the aura emanating from Tianxu became increasingly vast and powerful.

Even though his right hand, which held the knife, had been burned to a crisp by the Bingding True Fire, the seven-foot-long knife still exuded a deathly aura that made Taiwei's heart tremble.

A golden streak tore down, and Taiwei stared blankly at Tianxu in front of him. Tianxu had cleaved him in two, blood and internal organs gushing out, and a pool of thick blood quickly formed at Tianxu's feet.

"Stop with these tricks! Come out now!"

Tianxu shouted loudly, and the golden flames on his body spread outwards like a vast ocean tide. Taiwei's corpse under Tianxu's feet slowly disappeared like ripples on water.

Not far away, a bloodstain on Taiwei's face slowly healed. Looking at Tianxu, who was coming through a sandstorm, Taiwei took a deep breath and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

"I underestimated you a bit before. With such a fervent and unyielding fighting spirit, it's no wonder you were able to successfully overcome the tribulation of transforming into the Primordial True Saint."

The thousand layers of robes fluttered, and the Taiwei sleeves danced, as if the long sleeves were forged from steel and divine metal, which abruptly stopped Tianxu's charging momentum. At this moment, the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Imperishable Body was also revealed.

Taiwei's figure suddenly became more robust. He threw a punch, and the Xuanhuang Qi evolved into a Xuanhuang Fist Imprint, carrying the true meaning of heaven and earth. With one punch, he annihilated the golden ribbon that Tianxu had slashed out.

With a powerful punch of his right hand, he unleashed a Xuanhuang fist imprint, followed by a slash of two magnetic blades from his left rear. His thousand layers of clothing fluttered as Taiwei activated his three great divine abilities. The fist imprint roared, the Heavenly Dao was domineering, and the magnetic field vibrated. The aura around Taiwei and Tianxu surged once again.

This time, it was Taiwei and Tianxu going all out. The violent tide of spiritual energy had already submerged Tianxu and Taiwei's figures, and terrifying ripples completely annihilated the surrounding yellow sand into particles of primordial energy.

The moment the fist and sword collided, the golden blade tore through Taiwei's finger bones and pierced into his forearm. However, the dual magnetic blades in Taiwei's right hand also disrupted the golden flames burning on Tianxu's body and pierced through Tianxu's left arm.

Blood splattered, spiritual energy exploded, and flames clustered together. Taiwei and Tianxu shouted in unison, and the purple-gold Dao light and golden flames collided and crushed wildly in the sky.

Countless ripples in the void exploded and connected continuously. At this moment, Taiwei and Tianxu's figures seemed to transform into thousands of figures at the same time. Each figure was wielding different divine powers and techniques to attack each other, and each figure was constantly increasing its own aura to crush the other.

Two violent energies gradually merged into the Heavenly Netherworld, expanding into the vast five domains of the primordial world.

By this time, all the powerful beings at the Taiyi realm in the primordial world had sensed the battle between Taiwei and Tianxu. This was the only battle between Taiyi realm beings in recent times, and judging from their auras, it was clearly a life-or-death struggle.

In the White Tiger Royal Court, Bai Ju stood at the Heavenly Tiger Gate, his primordial spirit sensing the battle between Tianxu and Taiwei through the Heavenly Netherworld. A hint of anger appeared on his resolute face.

"Hurry up!" Bai Ju said coldly, looking at the dozens of Tiangongsi personnel in front of him who were calculating spacetime coordinates. His restrained aura made everyone present tense up, sensing the anger and impatience in Bai Ju's heart.
