Chapter 1817 - Nascent Soul Self-Detonation
"Tang Huan?"
Dong Xingzhou's heart skipped a beat and the expression on his face changed drastically.
It was Pang Shuo's golden fist shadow and the powerful wave of the blade in his hand that collided. The extremely powerful Strength Qi majestically surged into the surroundings, and Dong Xingzhou immediately felt a familiar but terrifying impact.
At this moment, Dong Xingzhou could not help but feel cold from the bottom of his heart.
Tang Huan's main body had chosen the perfect timing to launch a sneak attack!
He was forced back by the punch from the avatar, and Tang Huan suddenly rushed back from the back. As such, he was sending himself straight into Tang Huan's attack.
As Dong Xingzhou's thoughts raced, his body involuntarily retreated backward.
"It's over!"
Dong Xingzhou sighed inwardly. Under the fierce impact of the Strength Qi in front of him, he forcefully circulated the Sky Origin Stage power in his body, and just as a barrier was formed around his back, he felt an invincible sword light land on his back.
"Bam!"
The barrier immediately shattered and disappeared into thin air. However, the force from the sword ray was unstoppable as it struck Dong Xingzhou's body.
"En!"
Dong Xingzhou groaned. His body was flung forward involuntarily. He was in the air, swallowing the blood that had rushed to his throat. His face was flushed red. However, before he could land on the ground, Dong Xingzhou's pupils constricted. His vision was once again filled by Pang Shuo's golden fist.
's attack was effective, how could the clone let go of such a good opportunity?
After all, the main body and clone were controlled by Tang Huan, so they could coordinate extremely well.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
Cultivating for thousands of years, yet he had to fall in this sect which he had left behind. What a joke! Dong Xingzhou let out an inexplicable roar of indignation and closed his eyes in despair. However, an extreme sense of unwillingness welled up in his heart. In an instant, he opened his eyes once again; they were filled with craziness.
"Tang Huan, even if this old man dies, I will drag your avatar down with me!"
Dong Xingzhou roared, his face twisted ferociously.
At this time, raging waves were stirred within his Dantian Dao Nascent Soul. Several million of his Dao Crystals nearly exploded at the same time, transforming into incomparably terrifying energy that swiftly spread throughout his body. With this power, not only did he not run away, he rushed forward at an even faster speed.
At this moment, the energy of heaven and earth in the surroundings seemed to be boiling as it became extremely violent.
"Nascent Soul Self-Detonation!"
Tang Huan raised her brows slightly, slightly surprised.
To cultivators below the Heavenly King Stage, the self-detonation of a Dao soul was not a lot of power because it could not communicate with the laws of the world. However, to cultivators who had already stepped into the Heavenly King Stage and were able to draw upon the powers of heaven and earth, it was a very powerful and desperate method.
Of course, this method was not effective against all Heavenly Kings.
In order to self-destruct, one would first need to detonate a portion of the Dao crystal, and then use the power from the exploded Dao crystal as a primer to channel the Heaven and Earth powers as well as the remaining Dao crystal in the Dantian.
This required the Heavenly King to be able to suppress that portion of the power.
Generally speaking, an Inferior Heavenly King who had just advanced would not be able to control that power. His body would be turned into dust in an instant, and he would not be able to unleash much of his power. It was equivalent to exploding on his own, and the old Sky King who had been a Heavenly King for many years was able to do this.
It was just like the King of Sky, Dong Xingzhou, who had already reached the peak of his lower body!
In almost the same instant that part of the crystal was detonated, Dong Xingzhou had already used that power to move the energy of heaven and earth.
For Dong Xingzhou to abandon his sect and flee, no matter what kind of scheme he had, it was obvious that he was a little afraid of death. Tang Huan did not expect that he would actually have this kind of determination. Until the moment of despair, no Heavenly King would use such a decisive method, because once they self-destructed, their life would also enter the countdown.
"Seniors, quickly retreat!"
In the blink of an eye, numerous thoughts had flashed through Tang Huan's mind. As she shouted, the "Pure Yang Divine Sword" had already swung out a gigantic white sword beam, like a waterfall, towards Dong Xingzhou. The speed of this sword strike was so fast that it had already reached the limit that Tang Huan could emit.
At almost the same time, the avatar of the Immortal Body also retreated backwards. Inside the body, the sound of the zither hummed and the Five Colors Odor quickly rose up, condensing into a protective layer on the surface of the body.
At this moment, Dong Xingzhou had already detonated the remaining one hundred million crystals with a fiendish smile.
"Boom —"
The heaven and earth shook as the entire encampment space of the Divine Martial Sect was overturned. Dong Xingzhou's body immediately turned into a cloud of bloody mist.
However, this blood mist only appeared for a brief moment. With a flick of a finger, an incomparably terrifying power dispersed the blood mist, and then, with it as the center, it crazily howled in all directions. At this moment, a violent hurricane seemed to have appeared out of nowhere in front of the memorial archway, as if it could destroy the heavens and the earth.
Wherever the tornado of power passed by, space violently twisted, and countless dark, dense cracks began to appear.
"Slash!"
Amidst a cracking sound, Tang Huan's sword beam fell into the air. Even though it cut through the incoming hurricane, it was immediately shattered by the power that came after. Tang Huan gave a light snort and used "Air Escape" within her mind instructs (in a second), causing her figure to disappear into the distance.
Pang Shuo's fist shadow had also disappeared, and his Immortal body was the first to be hit by the hurricane. He flew backwards like he was riding on clouds and mist, and the rainbow barrier that covered his body only lasted for a moment before it completely shattered. The terrifying power directly landed on his avatar.
One after another, wounds were torn open, but they were being healed at an astonishing speed.
After a few thousand meters, the tornado's power finally began to show signs of weakening. After another few thousand meters, the divine clone steadily sank to the ground. The image of the dragon and tiger continued to linger around it, but between the clone's brows, it couldn't help but reveal a look of exhaustion.
"The explosion of an Inferior Heavenly King's Nascent Soul is indeed not to be underestimated."
Whispering sounds rang, and Tang Huan's body appeared to the side of the clone. After a short moment, the image of the dragon and tiger converged, and her Immortal body had already merged with the clone.
Previously, Tang Huan had not revealed herself for a long time, because she wanted to test the extent to which the avatar could fight against the peak of the Inferior Sky King. Just now, Tang Huan also had a few ways to prevent the avatar from being able to withstand the might of Dong Xing Zhou's Nascent Soul.
Tang Huan was very satisfied with the results of her two attempts.
Although the avatar of the immortal body had consumed a large amount of energy, it did not suffer any substantial damage. If Dong Xingzhou were to know about this, he would probably die with regrets.
