"Morax" watched Qiu Bai approach with a cold, expressionless gaze.
With the slightest twitch of his finger, a massive meteor plummeted from the heavens—hurtling straight toward Qiu Bai!
The sky was bathed in a golden hue, the entire scene like the end of the world.
"Heh, so I've been underestimated."
Qiu Bai smirked as he looked up at the descending meteor.
He raised the Chaos Sword and slashed upward!
Crack! The massive meteor split in two. With a few more swings, Qiu Bai shattered it into countless fragments!
Then, in a flash, he launched toward "Morax" with a fierce burst of speed!
Even the falling debris, still immense in size, rained down like a meteor shower—slamming into the earth and erupting with deafening blasts, gouging craters across Guili Plains.
As Qiu Bai neared Morax, he brought his sword down in a powerful arc.
"As solid as stone."
Morax, calm and composed, raised a stone shield.
Clang!
Qiu Bai's blade struck like thunder against an immovable wall.
"Hmph... That trick won't work on me anymore, Morax."
Qiu Bai grinned, and dark-white divine energy surged from his blade, increasing in pressure.
Crack!
The sound of breaking stone echoed as cracks spread across Morax's shield.
The moment the shield began to shatter, a flash of light erupted from Morax's hand—Vortex Vanquisher appeared to block the next strike!
Sparks exploded at the clash point, and a powerful shockwave burst forth the instant their weapons met!
The resulting blast scattered clouds across a ten-mile radius.
Below, the plains of Guili were devastated—left with an enormous circular crater from the impact.
"Urgh..."
Far off in the sky, Fanan struggled to withstand the aftershocks.
She was nearly blown away, relying on her immortal power to hold her ground.
Qiu Bai noticed her condition and frowned.
He launched a wave of yin-yang energy from his hand, forming a transparent ink-white barrier that enveloped Fanan in protection.
Then, clenching his fist, he drove it straight toward Morax!
Morax's pupils shrank—he raised Vortex Vanquisher just in time to block the blow.
Boom!
Another thunderous impact!
"Spatial shift."
Qiu Bai muttered to himself.
In the next instant, he vanished from in front of Morax...
...and reappeared behind him, delivering a powerful kick!
Before Morax could react—
Bang!
With a loud crash, he was sent flying into the distant sea!
The sheer force of the blow split the ocean, sending waves cascading skyward.
Qiu Bai hovered high above, Chaos Sword in hand, eyes locked on the impact zone.
From the surface of the sea, a figure slowly rose—Morax, clad in divine battle attire.
He floated steadily into the sky, staring down at Qiu Bai.
Raising one hand, Morax summoned massive Geo spears all around him—each one as colossal as a mountain!
The sky darkened as they blocked out the sun, casting enormous shadows across Guili Plains.
With a clench of his fist, the mountain-sized spears launched toward Qiu Bai like a hailstorm!
Despite their size, they flew at blinding speed.
"Tch..."
Qiu Bai frowned.
The Chaos Sword in his hand slowly floated in front of him, its tip aimed directly at Morax.
He formed a seal with his fingers, channeling divine power into the blade.
Around him, countless colossal Chaos Swords began to materialize—each matching the Geo spears in sheer scale.
"Go!"
Qiu Bai let out a sharp cry, and the colossal Chaos Swords surrounding him shot toward "Morax" like a volley of divine wrath!
As the rock spears and Chaos Swords clashed midair, one explosion after another erupted.
The sky burned like a sea of flame, scorched under the fury of their battle.
Qiu Bai's divine power surged endlessly, and the Chaos Sword in his hand radiated an overwhelming aura, dyeing the blazing sky a pale, ink-white hue as he charged at "Morax"!
...
Meanwhile, the land below—once the serene Guili Plains—was now unrecognizable. Amid the falling shards of shattered rock spears, what was once a peaceful landscape had been reduced to a wasteland of cratered, flame-scorched earth.
In the surrounding sea, several mountain-sized spears crashed down, plunging into the ocean with tremendous force. The resulting impact unleashed towering tidal waves that swept over the ruined plains.
...
Morax smiled calmly, golden divine power radiating from his body.
The sky around him turned brilliant gold, and the Vortex Vanquisher in his hand pulsed with immense energy as he launched his counterattack toward Qiu Bai.
In a flash, the two clashed—one a blazing gold streak, the other an ink-white bolt of light.
They collided head-on, each like a divine comet slamming through the sky!
Boom!
A thunderous roar tore through the heavens as their powers collided.
A burst of blinding white light exploded from the impact point.
The massive shockwave ripped across Guili Plains, tearing the land apart.
Thunder and lightning crackled through the sky, reacting to the raw divine energy unleashed in their clash.
Dark clouds churned violently above, spinning wildly under the pressure.
Below, trees, ruins—everything caught in the blast—were torn from the ground and flung into the air.
When the light faded, the sky itself was split in two: one half a ghostly grey-white, the other glowing gold.
The colossal rock spears and Chaos Swords still clashing midair were reduced to dust by the force of the aftermath.
"Damn it…"
"I'd bet anything the real Morax isn't even this strong!"
Qiu Bai gritted his teeth, still locked in a deadlock with "Morax."
Then—he summoned his next move.
A surge of yin and yang split from his body, manifesting into two avatars: one clad in black, radiating dark divine power; the other in white, glowing with light.
In a blink, the two avatars teleported to either side of "Morax" and each threw a punch at him!
Morax's pupils shrank. He instantly conjured a massive Geo shield.
Clang!
The sky now gleamed with four divine hues—gold, ink-white, black, and white!
Terrifying energy erupted from all four combatants, leaving the Dream Archon above utterly dumbfounded.
Its massive eyes widened in disbelief, blood-red veins creeping through its pupils.
If it could speak, it would've screamed one word:
"What the hell?!"
Qiu Bai's black-clad avatar smirked at the sight of Morax's shield. The eerie black divine power on his fist began eroding the rock barrier—turning it into particles of black light, fading bit by bit.
The shockwaves from the barrage of attacks swept outward like howling gales, surging from the center of the battlefield and tearing across the landscape.
Down below, the sea boiled violently. Water surged upward in towering columns—spinning into massive, sky-reaching waterspouts.
Above, the sky turned a chaotic blend of unnatural colors.
Purple lightning crackled and rained down like judgment, blasting the earth and shattering the ground into smoking craters.
