Although Xiao Yan managed to summon the Ancient Dragon-Phoenix Armor in time, the terrifying sword strike still carved a glaring wound across his chest. If not for his physique having been enhanced beyond the Saint-grade by the Eternal Void Demon Body and Sky Ascension, even the armor wouldn't have been enough to prevent his chest from being split open.
However, the moment he was struck, a golden divine imprint surged forth from Xiao Yan's palm and slammed heavily into Liu Feng's chest. Empowered by the Heavenly Profound Divine Seal, the Netherworld Holy Demon Seal possessed strength equal to even the Polar Sun Extinguishing Slash. As a result, even someone of Liu Feng's caliber was sent flying on the spot.
After knocking Liu Feng back, several kinds of flame ignited across Xiao Yan's body—Life Spirit Flame, Three Thousand Burning Flame, and Undying Flame began to repair his injuries simultaneously. At the same time, the Life-Death Ancestral Symbol rotated rapidly, accelerating the healing of the bloody gash.
"I really let my guard down this time…" Xiao Yan glanced down at the wound, shaking his head with a bitter smile. Liu Feng had just used the exact same deceptive combo that Xiao Yan himself used often on enemies. He never imagined that one day, someone would play the same trick on him. 'You hunt the goose every day, but one day, the goose pecks your eye.'
At that moment, the mirror clone that had previously been sealed abruptly broke free. The speed at which the seal was undone shocked Xiao Yan. He could feel that the sealing force he had left inside the mirror clone had been erased by another power. It appeared that this so-called Sword Saint possessed a unique ability to dispel seals.
Looking at the freed mirror clone, Xiao Yan grew more alert. Lin Dong and Mu Chen were still trapped, but even just the real Liu Feng and his clone were troublesome enough. And who knew how many such clones Liu Feng could summon? If there were no limit to them, this could become a real nightmare.
While thoughts churned in Xiao Yan's mind, the mirror clone suddenly stopped attacking. Instead, it turned around and dashed toward Liu Feng. At the same moment, Liu Feng's fingers rapidly formed hand seals, and a raspy voice escaped his throat.
"Mirror—Fusion!"
Boom!
As the mirror clone reached Liu Feng, it instantly merged into his body. Liu Feng's pupils turned pitch black, and a pair of black bat-like wings erupted from his back. His aura skyrocketed, and his presence became demonic, like a being of chaos.
"You've got to be kidding me… He can even fuse with his clones? That's so shameless." Xiao Yan's mouth twitched as he stared at the fused Liu Feng. Just having such a powerful mirror clone was already monstrous enough, and now he could even merge with it? This power-up made Liu Feng even more formidable, and defeating him would be exponentially harder.
Faced with this escalation, Xiao Yan no longer held back. He activated the long-unused Supreme Heart Demon Scripture, pushing himself into a perfect Heart Demon state. Simultaneously, a dazzling inferno erupted from within his body, cloaking him entirely in flames and making him appear like a glowing humanoid made of divine glass.
This special form was the Destruction Flame Body, created after merging with Xiao Yao's Flame Spirit. But now, it was no longer just a simple fusion with a Heavenly Flame—this body also contained the powers of the Nine Ancestral Symbols. Before activating it, Xiao Yan had further transformed his constitution into a Plane Spirit Physique, pushing the flame body's power to its extreme.
With multiple amplifications stacked together and Sky Ascension already active, Xiao Yan's state instantly soared to its peak. But he knew even this might not be enough—this opponent was unlike any he'd faced before. If he continued to hold back, the consequences would be disastrous.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan allowed the Demonic Sword in his hand to melt, turning into a stream of crimson liquid that fused with the Eternal Ancient Ruler. Crimson demonic patterns surfaced across the fire ruler, making it appear more reserved and far more deadly.
This was one of his trump cards, hidden since reaching Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign. The Demonic Sword was a soul weapon forged by his own hands, so he could reshape it at will. Now, just as Xiao Yao had once helped him evolve the Heavy Xuan Ruler into the Eternal Ancient Ruler, Xiao Yan was further enhancing it to match the challenge before him.
Right as he completed the enhancement, a sword cry rang out—Liu Feng had suddenly appeared in front of him, swinging his unique longsword down toward Xiao Yan's head. Xiao Yan didn't dodge. Instead, he swung the blood-patterned ancient ruler in reverse, smashing it against Liu Feng's blade.
Even though Liu Feng's power had risen a tier after fusing with his clone, Xiao Yan—armed with countless buffs—was still not inferior. In the blink of an eye, the two black-robed figures clashed over ten thousand times in midair. Sword energy and flames burst forth like meteors, fracturing the very fabric of the Great Thousand World's skies, which now looked like shattered glass riddled with cracks.
Seeing this, the Heavenly Evil God's face darkened. He hadn't summoned Liu Feng and the others to destroy his own world. Reluctantly, he siphoned off a portion of world power, using it to repair the space damaged by their battle.
"Gale Step—Lethal Strike: Heaven Cleave!"
After another intense exchange, Liu Feng reappeared overhead with his strange movement technique and unleashed the same move that had almost seriously wounded Xiao Yan before. But this time, just as the sword came down, an ancient energy mirror manifested in front of Xiao Yan, acting like a shield and blocking the surprise attack.
No one noticed the faint golden light that flickered in Xiao Yan's pupils behind the mirror. This was a result of using the Dragon Phoenix Art to temporarily assume Xun'er's physique. Though Xun'er had yet to reach the Heavenly Sovereign stage and lacked a divine vein technique of her own, Xiao Yan was able to tap into the Gu Clan's divine bloodline to activate the latent ability.
Though the ancient energy mirror successfully blocked the sudden strike, it shattered shortly after. But from the shards of the mirror, a multicolored light beam shot out unexpectedly, blasting the unguarded Liu Feng away.
That was the power of the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python bloodline.
