"How is this possible!!!"
The Heavenly God Emperor's eyes widened in shock as he saw what happened. A flash of astonishment briefly crossed his face.
This was an ancient divine artifact!
"Get lost!!!"
The Heavenly God Emperor roared furiously. At that moment, a surge of terrifying lightning energy erupted from the Lightning Rod.
Boom—
The blinding lightning instantly struck Lin San's body, engulfing him in that horrifying energy.
"Die already!!!" The Heavenly God Emperor sneered.
At such close range, the overwhelming power of the Lightning Rod's attack should have reduced Lin San's body to ashes.
However, what happened next left him stunned.
Lin San remained unaffected.
He continued thrusting the Ye Fan sword straight at the Heavenly God Emperor!
Not good!
The Heavenly God Emperor's expression changed dramatically. He could feel the terrifying sharpness of Lin San's sword. Instinctively, he used the Lightning Rod to block the incoming attack.
Clang—
Once again, the tip of the Ye Fan sword struck the shaft of the Lightning Rod.
This time, more cracks appeared on the rod!
Keep going!
Lin San didn't stop for a moment. He continued his frenzied assault.
Time was running out. The Indestructible Golden Body ability wouldn't last much longer.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
Lin San stabbed the sword over and over.
Clang, clang, clang—
The Heavenly God Emperor had no choice but to use the Lightning Rod to block each attack.
Crack—
As the cracks deepened, a crisp shattering sound echoed.
"Break!!!"
Seeing his chance, Lin San struck once more with all his might.
The Lightning Rod shattered!
"Great!"
A smile of satisfaction flashed across Lin San's face.
But in the next moment, his expression changed drastically.
As the Lightning Rod shattered, a pure mass of lightning energy surged out, directly striking Lin San's entire body!
At that precise moment, the effect of the Indestructible Golden Body wore off.
Boom—
A massive explosion rang out, and Lin San's body was scorched black as he plummeted from the sky.
His entire body was still engulfed in the pure lightning energy.
"The Lightning Rod contains a 'Lightning Core,'" the Heavenly God Emperor sneered. "You brought this on yourself."
He looked down at Lin San's falling body, a cold smile on his face.
The intense lightning energy continued to wreak havoc on Lin San's body, charring his flesh and even causing parts of his body to explode, revealing white bone beneath.
Lin San was doomed to die!
"Emperor!!!"
The Heavenly God King roared from the distance, his voice filled with despair.
It seemed that Lin San had been killed!
"Hahaha!"
"You've lost! It's over!"
The white-haired Martial God King, though coughing up blood, laughed triumphantly.
It's over.
The Heavenly God King's face darkened with dread.
"Die now."
The Heavenly God Emperor, still floating in the sky, gathered golden energy in his hand.
Soon, a golden sword formed in his grasp.
Whoosh—
With a powerful throw, the Heavenly God Emperor launched the golden sword downward.
The enormous sword of golden energy hurtled toward Lin San. If it pierced his body, there would be no doubt—Lin San would be dead for sure!
Clang, clang, clang—
At that critical moment, the Ye Fan sword in Lin San's hand began to tremble violently.
Whoosh—
In the next instant, the sword flew from Lin San's hand and collided with the golden energy sword!
What…!?
The Heavenly God Emperor's eyes widened once more.
The Ye Fan sword radiated an immense energy as it clashed with the golden sword.
Boom—
A thunderous explosion erupted, and the golden sword was shattered into countless fragments, scattering like golden rain across the sky.
The Ye Fan sword, without hesitation, charged toward the Heavenly God Emperor.
"A sword spirit?"
The Heavenly God Emperor's face darkened, and with a flick of his hand, the Golden Flame Sword appeared in his grip.
As the Ye Fan sword hurtled toward him, he swung his sword to meet it head-on.
Clang—
Sparks flew as the two swords collided.
"Do you remember me, Heavenly God Emperor?" Ye Fan's voice echoed coldly as he attacked.
"You…!"
Hearing the voice from the sword, the Heavenly God Emperor's expression shifted.
A talking sword?
And one with such immense power…
Wait, could it be…?
"You're the demon sword I destroyed all those years ago?!"
The Heavenly God Emperor exclaimed in shock.
"You didn't expect me to return, did you?" Ye Fan sneered.
With a thought, Ye Fan launched another relentless assault!
Clang, clang, clang—
The attacks came so swiftly that the Heavenly God Emperor couldn't dodge in time.
He was forced to use the Golden Flame Sword to block each strike.
Meanwhile, due to the Ripping Sword effect of the Ye Fan sword, numerous energy swords began appearing inside the Heavenly God Emperor's body.
These energy swords pierced through his flesh.
Damn it!
Although the Heavenly God Emperor didn't know the exact purpose of these energy swords, they made him feel uneasy.
With a thought, he unleashed his energy, dissipating the swords inside him.
But each time he dispelled the swords, more would appear with every strike from the Ye Fan sword, piercing his body again.
And every time he used his energy to remove them, it cost him a significant amount of power.
This can't continue!
"I didn't completely destroy you last time," the Heavenly God Emperor growled, his face twisted with rage.
"This time, you will die!!!"
After blocking another strike from Ye Fan, the Heavenly God Emperor extended his left hand, unleashing a blast of terrifying golden energy.
Boom—
The energy struck the Ye Fan sword, sending it flying!
The sword spun through the air before stabilizing itself.
Hum, hum, hum—
The Ye Fan sword began to tremble violently.
Then, before everyone's eyes, the sword started to change, transforming into… a human shape!
"The sword… transformed into a human!?"
The Heavenly God King and the others watching from afar were utterly shocked.
