Chapter 155 Peak Showdown, The Endless Arena of the Myriad Laws Returning to Nothingness.
Lu Xiao and Gu Yuena stood a hundred meters apart, facing each other without making any unnecessary movements.
"Boom!"
The auras emanating from their bodies were already engaged in the most dangerous clash in the void.
It was a confrontation of wills that transcended the collision of energy.
The oppressive feeling permeating the air was almost tangible.
The silver dragon spear in Gu Yuena's hand had its tip slightly lowered, and the shaft flowed with interwoven seven-colored elemental light.
Each halo resonated mysteriously with the active elemental energy in the surrounding world.
"Lu Xiao," she finally spoke, her voice as cold as an ice spring striking stone, yet carrying an undeniable dragon's might.
"Show me all your trump cards."
"I'll also see just how far you, the strongest human being, have come."
Before her words were finished, Gu Yuena's aura exploded!
The previously harmonious flow of elemental rhythms instantly collapsed, transforming into a violent, domineering elemental storm that seemed intent on dominating everything!
Water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, space… the seven fundamental elements were no longer gentle.
Instead, they converged wildly like unleashed ancient beasts!
Centered on her, an elemental storm, over a hundred meters in diameter, vibrant in color, yet brimming with destructive power, instantly took shape.
Facing this elemental storm, capable of instantly killing a Limit Douluo, Lu Xiao's expression remained calm!
Only a hint of seriousness flashed deep within his eyes.
He knew that his opponent was the oldest soul beast on the Douluo Continent.
Wielding the power of the seven elements, infinitely close to the God King realm, he was no ordinary being.
"Since that's the case, then so be it," he said calmly, raising his right hand.
In his palm, a seemingly ordinary card, yet shrouded in mysterious golden patterns, had appeared.
"Crack!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Xiao exerted force with his five fingers.
The golden card shattered instantly!
"Buzz!"
An indescribable, vast divine power instantly surged into Lu Xiao's entire body!
His aura soared like a rocket, relentlessly crossing the barrier of a first-level god.
It finally stabilized at a breathtaking peak level—the peak of a first-level god!
"Boom boom boom!"
A powerful surge of divine power emanated from Lu Xiao's body.
Although not as violently outwardly displayive as Gu Yuena's elemental storm, it was more condensed and profound!
It carried an inviolable majesty.
This divine power formed an invisible barrier, subtly resisting and separating the oppressive elemental storm, creating a clear boundary in the space at the center of the arena.
On one side, there was destruction and chaos; on the other, there was solemn divinity.
Lu Xiao remained unmoved. The limit of this power-up card was the peak of a first-level god.
Although it couldn't reach the level of a god-king, he believed it was sufficient to deal with Gu Yuena at this moment.
He didn't want to reveal his true trump cards too early in this duel.
"Peak of a first-level god?"
Gu Yuena's eyes narrowed slightly, but she wasn't too surprised.
Being assessed as a god-king by the heavens with a level 100 strength, it was perfectly normal for her to have a means to temporarily boost her strength. What she cared more about was how her opponent would use this power to defeat her.
"Elemental Storm, Annihilate!"
Gu Yuena didn't wait any longer. She pointed her silver dragon spear forward, her clear voice carrying an unyielding command!
The terrifying elemental storm that covered a hundred meters instantly split into ten thousand elemental torrents of different colors and attributes, all equally deadly.
They bombarded Lu Xiao at the center without any blind spots!
Each torrent was enough to severely injure an ordinary third-level god.
The simultaneous eruption of countless elements was enough to instantly reduce any being below the level of a god to ashes!
Faced with this unavoidable and devastating attack, Lu Xiao lightly raised his left hand, palm facing upwards.
He made a gesture of support, his expression remaining calm.
"First Martial Soul, Ancient Tree of Life, manifest."
Buzz!
An indescribably enormous and ancient phantom slowly emerged from behind Lu Xiao.
It was not a physical entity, yet it seemed rooted in the void, its thick trunk covered with lines etched by the passage of time.
Above its crown, the emerald green leaves shimmered with a warm luster, radiating a rich, almost tangible, life force that instantly dispelled the destructive and oppressive feeling brought by the elemental storm.
"Divine Skill: Hymn of Life, Eternal Protection."
Lu Xiao murmured softly, and emerald green light poured down from the phantom of the Ancient Tree of Life, like a shower of stars.
Finally, it converged into a seemingly thin yet flowing light shield filled with countless profound life runes, protecting Lu Xiao within.
Life force flowed within this light shield.
Each rune represented the true meaning of "existence," radiating an aura of endless vitality.
"Boom boom boom!"
The destructive elemental torrents crashed against the life shield like a tidal wave!
The anticipated violent explosion and energy annihilation did not occur.
The life shield, brimming with boundless vitality, was like the most resilient and all-encompassing ocean, accepting, neutralizing, and transforming the violent elemental attacks one by one!
The power of the Ancient Tree of Life demonstrated its terrifying nature as a top-tier support and defensive martial soul.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
Moreover, the life domain beneath Lu Xiao's feet was quietly expanding.
Emerald green domain power spread, and strands of invisible life force pierced through the barrier of the elemental torrents.
The elemental storm attempting to penetrate Gu Yuena's body, and even her physical form, began to slowly and resolutely strip her of her life force!
When life reaches its end, it is death.
The Tree of Life not only wields the power of life, but also the power of death.
When it blooms at its peak, it can use the power of life to backfire, plundering the life essence of others.
"Deprive them of life?"
Gu Yuena frowned, a solemn expression appearing on her pretty face.
She could clearly feel her abundant life force being drawn away bit by bit.
Although the speed was not fast, if it continued, it would inevitably affect her combat power.
The life level of the opponent's martial soul was so high, so strange and powerful, that it had already exceeded her expectations.
"Spear of Law Breaking!"
Gu Yuena shouted softly.
The silver dragon spear in her hand shone brightly, and the power of the seven-colored elements instantly boiled!
The seven elements no longer attacked separately.
Instead, they were highly compressed and fused at the tip of the spear!
Abandoning their mutual repulsion, they transformed into an elemental spear only a few feet long, yet condensed to the extreme, displaying seven colors!
This spear contained the terrifying characteristics of destroying all laws and dispersing energy.
This was a killing move created by Gu Yuena, combining elemental power with the might of a super artifact. It was specifically designed to break through all defenses and domains!
The Chaos Spear transformed into a streak of light, tearing through the void.
Instantly piercing through layers of weakened life domains!
With unparalleled power to break through magic, it slammed into the life shield!
"Pop!"
A soft sound rang out, and the life shield rippled violently, like water struck by a pebble, countless ripples spreading outwards.
Finally, at the point of contact between the spear tip and the shield, a crack appeared!
Although the crack was instantly repaired by the surging life force, it was clear that the defense of the Ancient Tree of Life alone could not completely withstand the full-force attack of Gu Yuena, wielding a super artifact.
"Indeed, relying solely on the Ancient Tree of Life is insufficient to achieve victory."
Lu Xiao's expression remained unchanged, and a thought flashed through his mind.
The illusory image of the Ancient Tree of Life behind him slowly dissipated.
The emerald green life domain also contracted, and the life-stripping power naturally dissipated.
Almost simultaneously...
"Boom!"
A terrifying sword intent, completely different from anything else, so sharp it seemed capable of severing all worldly ties and shattering all laws, soared into the sky!
This sword intent was cold, pure, and domineering!
Like a god-slaying blade from the heavens above.
It caused the temperature of the entire endless arena to plummet, and even the void itself groaned under its strain!
In Lu Xiao's hand, a longsword appeared out of nowhere.
The blade was ancient and simple, its entire body displaying a dark purplish-gold hue, its edge devoid of light.
Yet, it gave off a stinging sensation that could wound the soul with a single glance.
Intricate god-slaying runes were carved on the hilt, with faint blood-red light flowing within.
This was Lu Xiao's second martial soul.
The Radiant Annihilation God-Slaying Sword!
The moment the God-Slaying Sword appeared, the entire space of the endless arena emitted a subtle groan.
Gu Yuena's elemental domain also experienced a momentary disruption, as if it had encountered its natural nemesis!
The sword emanated the aura of "god-slaying" and "annihilation."
Even the silver dragon spear in her hand emitted a wary hum.
The seven-colored light on the spear body dimmed slightly.
"What level of martial soul is this?"
Gu Yuena's pupils contracted, and a sense of alarm rose in her heart.
She could clearly feel that the quality of this sword had surpassed that of a god-level martial soul.
Moreover, the "God-Slaying" power it contained had a natural restraint on someone like her who was close to a god-king!
Without any unnecessary words, the two figures moved simultaneously!
Gu Yuena, wielding the silver dragon spear, became one with the spear.
She transformed into a silver lightning bolt weaving through the elements, the spear striking like a dragon, carrying the momentum to tear the sky apart!
Her spear technique was exquisite, her control over the elements reaching a divine level.
Her attacks were like a storm, relentless and unending, giving Lu Xiao no chance to breathe!
Lu Xiao, on the other hand, held the Radiant Annihilation God-Slaying Sword in one hand. His swordsmanship seemed simple and direct, without any fancy moves.
Yet, every time, at the last second, he could strike the core of the elemental attack with the most precise and tricky angle.
Or perhaps it severed the connection between elements.
"Boom boom boom! "
Sword light and spear shadows intertwined, transforming into two streaks of light traversing the void.
The aftershocks of the collision transformed into a destructive energy storm, raging at the edge of the arena. If not for the protective barrier of the heavens, it would have already affected the outside world, causing unimaginable disaster.
All the spectators were utterly stunned, their minds reeling.
This was true god-level combat!
Every gesture manipulated the power of heaven and earth!
Their previous understanding of soul skills and martial souls seemed so pale and powerless before this level of clash.
"How is this possible!"
Gu Yuena grew increasingly alarmed as the battle progressed.
She had already used the Silver Dragon Spear, a super artifact, pushing the seven elemental powers to their current extreme.
The ferocity, the variety, the power—it could even suppress most peak-level first-tier gods.
Yet, Lu Xiao, relying solely on the Radiant Annihilation God-Slaying Sword martial soul, was fighting her to a standstill.
He even seemed to have a…effortless advantage?
