Chapter 1078 - 410: The Last Gift (Part 3)
Li Xiu seemed to have anticipated that such a technique couldn’t trap Li Boyang, and said calmly, "Let’s fight if we’re going to fight, why waste words?"
Li Boyang chuckled, "Well, this isn’t about me asking you questions, it’s more like you’re tired of my chatter."
"True, spending too much time with that old guy has rubbed off on me, I’ve picked up some of his habits, always trying to reason with others. It’s not a great habit." The smile on Li Boyang’s face gradually faded, "Then let’s just use our fists and not our words."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Boyang took a step forward, and the entire world seemed to shrink with that step. Despite being several miles apart, he was suddenly right in front of Li Xiu, reaching out to grab him with a sky-covering hand, as if this one palm would crush Li Xiu within its grasp.
Li Xiu’s gaze sharpened, and he also extended a hand, meeting Li Boyang’s hand firmly.
In an instant, the world shattered, the sun and moon lost their light, and the terrifying battle commenced.
Thousands of miles turned to ruins, as the horrifying power swept across the land like a torrent, destroying everything in its path.
Even the mighty Jiang Lanling could only desperately flee the battlefield; the mere shockwaves of that power were enough to shatter her completely.
Yet her speed couldn’t escape the shockwaves, and just as she was about to be engulfed, a light screen rose before her, firmly blocking the waves.
A breathtaking woman appeared from the void, emanating divine radiance. The light that blocked the shockwaves came from her body.
Beams of light shot through the sky, rising in different directions, as if countless pillars reached for the heavens.
One beam... two beams... three beams...
Sixteen pillars of light connected in the sky, forming a massive light shield that enveloped thousands of miles, encasing the entire battlefield.
"You... you’re not dead..." Jiang Lanling exclaimed in shock upon seeing the divine woman.
Belona didn’t turn to look at her, only smiled slightly, "So it was indeed you who helped Li Boyang in the Time Tunnel against us."
"Yes, it was me. If you want to kill me, can you wait until this battle ends? I won’t even resist, I’ll give my life to you," Jiang Lanling said.
"If you want to die, that’s your business, not mine," Belona said dismissively.
"You don’t hate me?" Jiang Lanling was slightly stunned.
"If someone attacks you with a knife, do you blame the knife?" Belona retorted.
Jiang Lanling was initially taken aback, then her face turned pale, "Someone like me doesn’t deserve your hatred."
Belona didn’t comment, her gaze fixed on the battlefield, the Light Energy emanating from her grew stronger.
"Who will win this battle?" Jiang Lanling asked again.
"I don’t know," Belona replied.
Everything inside the Light Realm had been destroyed. If not for the shield, half of the Demon Spirit Realm would’ve been ruined by now.
Countless members of the Demon Spirit Race trembled, staring at the flickering Light Realm from afar.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, a sun-like light ignited inside the Light Realm, growing larger and swiftly filling the entire region; even the most powerful beings found the brightness unbearable.
When the light faded away, the Light Realm was silent, as if all were returned to peace.
The Sixteen Ancestral Spirits searched within the Light Realm, soon seeing Li Xiu and Li Boyang hovering in the Light Realm, appearing unscathed.
"Your control and battle techniques have surpassed the level of this world," Li Boyang said, looking at Li Xiu.
"Your techniques are unique," Li Xiu replied.
"Unique? Truly an arrogant word," Li Boyang laughed. "It’s a technique of a higher realm. If people of that realm knew a human from a small cosmos described their techniques as ’unique,’ they’d be furious. But you do qualify to say it, as although in this world the techniques don’t show their true power, you’re able to instantly grasp and learn them, which is unusual."
"Now I’m somewhat regretful," Li Boyang suddenly sighed.
"Regretful about what?" Li Xiu asked.
"If I could choose again, I wouldn’t have made you the key," Li Boyang said.
"Why?" Li Xiu was surprised Li Boyang would suddenly say this.
"With your talent, if you could follow me out, you might help me fulfill my wish." Li Boyang looked up into the endless void, "But now it’s too late, I have no choice. This world can’t nurture another creature capable of becoming a key besides you; you’re my only option."
"This is destiny," Li Xiu said calmly, unmoved.
"You’re right, destiny it is," Li Boyang sighed lightly, "Then let this destiny end."
Li Xiu’s face changed slightly, as the Devour Spirit within him activated, his body was soon covered in white porcelain-like armor, shell-like scales quickly merged into one, encasing his entire body.
A pair of white butterfly wings also emerged, making Li Xiu resemble a humanoid porcelain butterfly just emerged from its cocoon.
With the emergence of the Devour Spirit, Li Xiu’s body felt bound, as though countless threads from within cells held every one in place.
The next moment, Li Xiu felt a sharp sting in his brain, and the Light Energy within him began to rampage, endless energy spontaneously arising, saturating every cell.
His previously top-tier Unparalleled Body began a new evolution.
"Unparalleled... That’s a joke... It’s nothing to me... Only by becoming the Cosmic Body do you truly qualify to be my key... this Devour Spirit is my final gift to you..." Li Boyang said, gazing intensely at Li Xiu, eyes filled with Frenzy.
