I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

Ten thousand meters in the air, Hughes hovered on the edge of the storm.

His glass-like body was now emitting waves of unstable light.

For the past twenty days, he has been hiding underground in the Holy City, expending countless resources and working day and night to operate the Law of Creation, barely managing to gradually smooth out the destructive power that Shen Tian left deep in the origin of the law last time.

That destructive power was like a malignant tumor clinging to the bone, constantly eroding his spiritual essence.

Hughes is currently weak and in a period of recovery after his injuries.

With his home destroyed, he had nowhere to retreat.

"Shen Tian! Do you really think the Purple Spirit Clan is your backyard to trample on at will?"

Hughes roared, and twelve polyhedral crystal halos shot into the sky from behind his head.

The free-flowing power of heaven and earth within a radius of several hundred miles was forcibly gathered, transforming into a purple crystal river spanning ten kilometers in width.

The long river, like a heavy waterfall hanging upside down from the heavens, poured down on Shen Tian with a violent force that could crush the earth's crust.

"I will not only trample on this place, I will also raze it to the ground."

Shen Tian looked up and stared straight at the long river, not flinching or dodging at all, and soared upwards against the immense pressure of the ninth level.

The power of the world within him surged forth.

The benefits brought by the expansion of his small world to 100,000 miles allowed him to enter the mid-stage of the seventh rank without any doubt when he emerged from seclusion.

An even more powerful aura burst forth from his body, and the bronze divine patterns on the surface of the Asura Holy Armor erupted with dazzling brilliance.

boom.

Shen Tian met the attack head-on with his left fist, which was covered in heavy armor.

The ten-kilometer-wide amethyst river was smashed into a huge dent tens of meters deep by this powerful punch the moment it made contact.

The long river broke apart inch by inch, and millions of purple crystal clusters flew in all directions.

Hughes was thrown backwards for several kilometers by the powerful recoil.

How could it be this strong?

Hughes was overwhelmed with turmoil.

In just twenty days, this kid has actually broken through again.

What troubled him even more was the armor's defensive capabilities.

He couldn't even break through Shen Tian's defenses!

Are you kidding me!

He's a late-stage ninth-tier man, standing at the pinnacle of Earth!

Shen Tian hovered in mid-air, casually moving his shoulders, his joints making a crisp popping sound.

"It seems you've spent the last twenty days hiding underground healing and haven't made any progress."

"You arrogant brat! Killing you would be more than enough!"

Hughes's face was cold, and he stretched a long, blurry shadow in front of him with his hands.

The shattered amethyst fragments suddenly stopped in mid-air, then rapidly stretched and reshaped, transforming into ten thousand giant purple swords, each a hundred meters long.

The sword formation, like stars, enveloped all directions, with each sword containing extremely condensed spiritual laws powerful enough to cleave space.

"die!"

Hughes pushed forward heavily with both palms.

A multitude of swords were unleashed simultaneously.

The friction of sharp blades cutting through the air merged into a piercing shriek, and the entire sky was filled with purple light.

"A trivial skill."

Shen Tian's azure and silver dual-colored Space-Time Tribulation Wings spread out behind him, their length increasing to a kilometer.

He transformed into a meteor burning with azure lightning, crashing headlong into the Destruction Sword Domain without hesitation.

The Divine Punishment Blade swung rapidly in front of him, its blades flashing.

The crisp sounds of collision and shattering blended together.

Shen Tian pressed closer and closer.

Several giant swords pierced through the net of blades and slashed fiercely at the breastplate of the Asura Holy Armor. As the bronze divine patterns flowed, a powerful recoil force shattered the swords into dust on the spot, turning them into ashes and scattering away.

Shen Tian sliced ​​through the obstacle in front of him with a single strike, his figure rising high, instantly appearing directly above Hughes.

The long sword, with the force of splitting a mountain, chopped down on his head.

"Stop them!"

Hughes dared not be negligent. He suddenly raised his arms, and the laws of creation intertwined above his head, condensing into a glass shield a hundred meters thick.

boom.

The blade slammed heavily onto the surface of the glass shield.

A ring of sonic boom clouds exploded at the center of the two's confrontation.

The terrifying shockwave transformed into a tangible storm, sweeping downwards.

Dozens of towers in the northern district of Ziji City were snapped at their roots by this airflow, turning large areas of buildings into ruins.

The two were locked in a stalemate in mid-air.

Hughes's spiritual laws continuously flowed into the heavy shield, attempting to deflect this immense force.

Shen Tian, ​​relying on the immense blood and qi of the Eternal Overlord Body and the foundation of the mid-stage seventh rank, firmly suppressed the blade.

The surrounding gravitational field became chaotic, and the rubble was pulled into the air, only to be crushed into powder in the shockwaves from their clash.

Shen Tian looked down at Hughes, who was struggling to hold on.

"I told you, I would be your strictest father."

Shen Tian flicked his wrist, and the blade pressing against the heavy shield once again erupted with a blinding light.

"Now, it's time to get a beating."

Shen Tian gripped the Divine Punishment Battle Blade with both hands. The blood and qi of the Eternal Overlord Body, amplified by the Asura Holy Armor, transformed into purple-gold flames that surged into the blade through his arms.

"Crackling sound—"

The surface of the glass shield, which is hundreds of meters thick, is cracked with hundreds and thousands of fine white lines.

Hughes held the heavy shield aloft with both arms, and a muffled roar came from beneath the gleaming facial armor.

Below is the temple command center.

Fifth Councilor: "How did this kid get stronger again? Even Lord Hughes can't suppress him now?"

The sixth councilor, his face ashen, gritted his teeth and said:

"There's something strange about the armor that kid's wearing; it actually amplifies his power again. Lord Hughes hasn't recovered to his full strength yet, so a head-on confrontation would be too disadvantageous."

"Move all the city's firing positions there to support Lord Hughes!"

The seventh member roared.

"Too fast, can't lock onto the target!"

Another member of parliament shouted.

High in the sky, Shen Tian let out a cold snort, his eyes swirling with purple-gold light.

He abruptly withdrew his Divine Punishment Battle Blade, and with a powerful flap of his azure and silver Space-Time Tribulation Wings, he vanished from his spot in an instant.

The sonic boom cloud exploded above Hughes' head.

Shen Tian appeared behind and to the side of Hughes, delivering a whip kick imbued with Purple Heaven Divine Lightning, cleaving towards Hughes's neck like a battle axe.

"Don't even think about it!"

Hughes roared, and the Law of Creation drew upon the surrounding matter, instantly creating a thirty-meter-thick amethyst shield that stood between the two.

boom!

The shield shattered.

The amethyst fragments were scattered outwards like shotgun pellets, leaving the tower of Purple Extreme City below riddled with holes.

Using the recoil to create distance, Hughes quickly formed hand seals, and thousands of amethyst spears materialized out of thin air, raining down on Shen Tian.

"Die in there!"

Hughes roared and pushed his palms out, the spear array piercing through the star with a sharp edge.

Shen Tian neither dodged nor avoided, but instead charged straight into the spear formation while wearing the Asura Saint Armor.

The battle sword transformed into a black storm of blades, shredding all the incoming spears.

In the next few minutes...

Hundreds of earth-shattering collisions erupted high in the sky.

Shen Tian held the Divine Punishment in his hand, and the shoulder guards of the Asura Saint Armor spewed out Calamity Flames.

He jumped back and forth continuously at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, shattering one space after another.

Each time he swung his sword, he would unleash a crescent-shaped blade of light that stretched for thousands of meters.

Hughes transformed into an indestructible mobile fortress, with the laws of creation continuously surging from the crystal, transforming into a giant sword, warhammer, and light wheel, directly clashing with Shen Tian's blade light.

Two beams of light, one black and one purple, moved back and forth in the sky above Purple City at a speed that exceeded the limits of human vision.

Each collision leaves behind a vacuum zone in mid-air with a diameter of over a kilometer.

The air was repeatedly torn apart, forming visible ring-shaped air currents that completely dispersed the thick clouds within a radius of hundreds of miles.

The Purple Spirit Clan guards who had miraculously survived below could only see the flashing bright light in the sky and the deafening thunder that shattered their eardrums.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

A series of ear-piercing metallic explosions echoed through the sky.

The amethyst debris rained down on the earth, creating deep, bottomless craters in the streets of Purple Extreme City.

Every strike he made carried terrifying power.

"Old dog, is that all you've got?"

Shen Tian's sword strikes became increasingly fierce.

Hughes grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed, and loudly retorted:

"Arrogant brat! You really think I can't do anything to you?"

Although his creation law could continuously condense physical defense, under Shen Tian's unreasonable and high-frequency attacks, the rate of consumption far exceeded the rate of recovery.

"Break it!"

Shen Tian let out a long roar, his longsword drawing a bleak black line in mid-air as he forcefully deflected the amethyst greatsword that Hughes was slashing at him.

The central door was wide open.

Shen Tian clenched his left fist, and the blood and energy of the Eternal Overlord Body, along with the power of heaven and earth, intertwined on the tip of his fist.

A solid punch landed on the glass armor on Hughes' chest.

thump—

It was as if a war drum was beating between heaven and earth.

A shockwave, visible to the naked eye, emanated from Hughes's back, creating dense black cracks in the space behind him.

Hughes's 150-meter-tall glass body flew backward like a cannonball.

He crashed through more than a dozen newly formed sound barriers in mid-air, flying for more than 30 kilometers before barely managing to stabilize himself.

"Click—"

Hughes lowered his head and looked at his chest.

On the originally flawless glass armor, there was a fist print several meters deep.

Around the fist imprint, fine cracks were spreading all over his body, and several wisps of death energy, like venomous snakes, were gnawing at his source of laws.

Hughes looked up in shock, staring intently at the tall figure clad in black armor in the distance.

After exchanging only a few hundred moves, he was actually defeated head-on?

He is a peak existence at the late stage of the ninth rank! Looking across the entire Blue Star, there are very few people who can defeat him.

Although his vital essence was damaged by the knife wound left by Shen Tian a few days ago, he is not at his peak at the moment, and his combat power has been somewhat reduced.

But a ninth rank is a ninth rank; the difference in life level and law dimension is undeniable.

How could a mid-stage seventh-order human possibly control him to this extent?
