I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

Looking at the scene that resembled the end of the world, Xu Xingyu broke out in a cold sweat. This was the first time in his life that he had felt such a strong sense of threat.

Admittedly, he had never faced a stronger being than the one before him who resembled the Fierce Emperor, such as Tang San's clone or Gu Yuena. However, apart from being caught off guard the first time, he had always prepared countermeasures in advance for the former, while the latter rarely fought him seriously.

However, Xu Xingyu had no time to feel fear in the current situation, so he could only suppress his fear and make the best countermeasures against this apocalyptic attack.

Then, the light representing the elements controlled by Xu Xingyu's Dragon God power—red, blue, cyan, yellow, white, black, silver, and gold—reappeared and, just like before, condensed on the blade.

Unlike last time, this time the eight elements did not use the Abyss as a medium to form a forty-meter-long sword. Instead, they all converged and compressed into the blade of the Abyss, causing the Abyss to emit bursts of eight-colored light due to the large amount of energy.

This move is the same one Xu Xingyu used to deal with the Spirit Emperor and the Demon Emperor: the Return to Origin Slash.

This is a technique that Xu Xingyu created himself after being taught elemental techniques by Gu Yuena and after repeatedly condensing elemental storms in his body.

The so-called Returning Origin Slash is a technique that combines the vacuum effect caused by the fusion of multiple elements with the ability to strip away elements, ultimately forming a move that can transform all things into the most primitive energy.

Therefore, anything that touches the blade of the Returning Origin Slash will be broken down into energy, which will then be absorbed by the Abyss and ultimately fed back to Xu Xingyu herself.

When Xu Xingyu used this move against the Spirit Emperor and the Demon Emperor, he transformed the bodies, abyssal energy, and spiritual energy of the two abyssal emperors into the most primordial chaotic energy, and then devoured them with the help of Yuanshou and Buyer.

Of course, this move cannot decompose and absorb everything, such as the Abyss Core carried by the Abyss Emperor and the Heavenly Rift Sacred Abyss Halberd in the hands of the Fierce Emperor.

The Abyss Core remains unaffected because it is a fragment of the Abyss Plane's core, a crystal formed from pure planar energy. Planar energy is energy compressed from chaotic energy, and therefore is unaffected by the Returning Origin Slash.

The Heavenly Rift Sacred Abyss Halberd is not affected by the Returning Origin Slash because Xu Xingyu's current cultivation level is insufficient to decompose something of this super divine artifact level.

Xu Xingyu chose to use this move for three reasons: First, he used the decomposition property of the Returning Origin Slash to weaken the attack in front of him and prevent it from affecting the Seagod Island behind him.

Secondly, this move is the most powerful among his existing close-combat manuals, and it is the most likely to counter the move that the current Emperor Lie is about to use.

Third, the Abyss in his hand is the only weapon that can clash with the Heavenly Rift Sacred Abyss Halberd, so he needs the Abyss to fight the Heavenly Rift Sacred Abyss Halberd head-on.

After all, the so-called "ignore defense" characteristic of the Heavenly Rift Sacred Abyss Halberd is not a true ability to ignore any defense. If it is facing a weapon or armor of the same level, it has at most a chance of penetrating, but it cannot completely ignore its defense.

However, this only applies to physical forms. If it is an energy form, then the Heavenly Rift Sacred Abyss Halberd can be used like an unparalleled attack, completely ignoring energy-based attacks and defenses.

This is why the Heavenly Rift Abyss Halberd is the most feared super artifact in the entire Abyss Plane, because all creatures in the Abyss Plane are energy-based beings, and are naturally countered by the Heavenly Rift Abyss Halberd.

Therefore, Xu Xingyu specifically considered the Heavenly Rift Sacred Abyss Halberd's ability to ignore defense, and thus chose to concentrate all the energy within the abyss, instead of condensing it into a forty-meter-long blade as before.

Only the Abyss, possessing a physical form and being a super artifact, has a chance to contend with the Heavenly Rift Sacred Abyss Halberd. To ensure sharpness, Xu Xingyu even shrunk the original Abyss, which was the length of a human body, into a long sword about 93.3 cm long, with a guard about 12.3 cm wide and a blade about 5.5 cm wide.

However, this also meant that Xu Xingyu had to further compress the energy of the Returning Origin Slash, otherwise it would easily lead to energy leakage and weakening. If Xu Xingyu's mental strength hadn't already reached the level of a second-level god, his soul power would have already gone out of control and ended up self-destructing and dying.

Even so, Xu Xingyu's current situation is not much better. At this moment, even with his god-level physical body, Xu Xingyu felt as if his hands were burning. Intense soul power pressure was emanating from the abyss, like a volcano about to erupt.

At the same time, "Emperor Lie" frowned as he watched Xu Xingyu gather energy. From the way he was gathering energy, "Emperor Lie" knew that Xu Xingyu had somehow sensed the characteristics of the Heavenly Rift Sacred Abyss Halberd.

Moreover, judging from the posture, the attack that Xu Xingyu was preparing was extremely terrifying. If he did not descend in his true form, dealing with this attack would be quite troublesome.

Fortunately, I had almost finished gathering my strength, while the other party seemed to need some more time. Anyway, I wasn't exactly a righteous person, so I didn't need to adhere to any martial ethics.

"Abyss Piercing Strike!"

Then, the "Fierce Emperor" launched the Heavenly Rift Holy Abyss Halberd, which was bound by immense abyssal energy, like a javelin. The Heavenly Rift Holy Abyss Halberd was like a black meteorite about to fall, ready to deliver judgment and despair to everything on earth.

Seeing the apocalyptic attack, Xu Xingyu gritted his teeth involuntarily. Then, he made a surprising choice for the onlookers: he raised his knife and transformed into a purple meteor, shooting straight into the sky.

"boom!!!!"

The purple meteor climbing toward the sky soon collided with the black meteorite that was about to judge the living beings on earth. The two seemed to be trying to destroy each other, neither willing to give way nor compromise.

The "Fierce Emperor" merely stared coldly at the scene before him, then muttered to himself indifferently, "What an idiot. With your power not yet fully charged, there's only one outcome: destruction."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, something incredible happened. For some reason, the black light shifted slightly, and the purple meteor seized the opportunity to continue its attack, pushing the Heavenly Rift Sacred Abyss Halberd towards the direction of the Fierce Emperor!

"What! This is impossible!!!" "Emperor Lie" shouted in disbelief.

However, the incredible events did not end there. Just as "Emperor Lie" realized what was happening and wanted to leave quickly, he clearly saw Xu Xingyu's figure in the purple meteor.

Xu Xingyu, dragging her body which had been pierced through the heart by the Heavenly Rift Sacred Abyss Halberd, launched an attack on herself! It was precisely because of this moment of distraction that Xu Xingyu attacked "Emperor Lie" with lightning speed.

"Return to Origin Slash!!!!"
