However, the look of surprise and exhilaration on the faces of Master Wanxiang, Ning Yu Immortal Master, and others lasted for less than a breath. The Purple Night Heavenly Thunder, which had initially surged through the South Fire Divine Light like a knife cutting through bamboo and was heading towards Gu Jinlai, was already weakening.
Compared to the continuous output of the South Fire Divine Light, the Purple Night Heavenly Thunder was clearly a one-time, explosive attack.
Thanks to its burst at the moment of contact, it gained the upper hand, directly shattering about forty to fifty miles of the nearly two hundred-mile-long South Fire Divine Light, and continued to advance another forty to fifty miles without diminished momentum.
But by the time the Purple Night Heavenly Thunder was about eighty miles away from completely shattering the South Fire Divine Light and striking Gu Jinlai, it had already started to flag.
Struggling to push forward another twenty to thirty miles, the power of the Purple Night Heavenly Thunder abruptly dimmed.
In contrast, the output of the South Fire Divine Light remained steadily intense.
Having exhausted the power of the Purple Night Heavenly Thunder, the colossal and fiery column of light roared back, swiftly reversing the situation.
"How... how can this be..."
Mo Longjian felt as if his breathing had stopped.
The smiles of surprise on everyone’s faces came to an abrupt halt.
The violent flames and high temperature rapidly devoured the dimming Purple Night Heavenly Thunder, relentlessly shooting towards Mo Longfei.
The overwhelming heat and suffocating sensation caused Mo Longfei’s pupils to shrink drastically.
"Top Profound Immortal power, nearing the power of a Peak Profound Immortal!"
He let out a low roar, his form seemingly transforming into a bolt of lightning, moving with unbelievable speed to dodge and shift around the perimeter.
But, almost at the same moment that he shifted and dodged, the South Fire Divine Light controlled by Gu Jinlai also slightly shifted its angle.
The South Fire Divine Light, shooting at sub-light speed, was impossibly fast. How could Mo Longfei’s speed ever surpass sub-light speed?
As the kilometer-wide South Fire Divine Light energy column swept over his body, even though his Immortal Body stretched more than one thousand four hundred meters, the areas grazed by the South Fire Divine Light rapidly began to melt away.
Just like snow under a laser beam.
"Purple Thunder Divine Sword!"
In a moment of crisis, Mo Longfei’s Divine Thought stirred wildly, and a torrent of Thunder Power burst forth from his body, entwining around a sword in his hand...
A sword so powerful it almost transcended the category of Supreme Taoist Device.
The sword, with Purple Thunder streaking across it, resolutely slashed towards the South Fire Divine Light.
The Purple Thunder Divine Sword clashed violently with the South Fire Divine Light in the void, exploding into a myriad of flames, each spark flying out like a meteor falling from the sky. Upon hitting the ground, they would surely ignite towering infernos, and the temperature was so high that it could turn the Earth into magma, refining rocks into Liu Li.
However, even though the Purple Thunder Divine Sword was of a grade surpassing Supreme Taoist Device, even bordering on Quasi-Immortal Artifact, it began to melt at a visible rate under the unending, relentless energy pouring from the South Fire Divine Light.
With every strike against the South Fire Divine Light, it was like using an alloy Treasure Sword to chop at a high-energy laser beam. Although it could "cut" through the laser with its material, the part of the blade that hit would inevitably melt into molten metal.
And so it was for the Purple Thunder Divine Sword held in Mo Longfei’s hands.
At this rate, it would not be long before his Quasi-Immortal Artifact was completely destroyed.
Ning Yu Immortal Master immediately recognized the peril that Mo Longfei was in.
"Long Fei’s power is merely equivalent to that of a High-level Profound Immortal. Facing someone like Jiang Yufeng whose battle power approaches that of a Peak Profound Immortal is inevitably an overmatch! But if we join forces, we can certainly restrain him, making it difficult for him to be so rampant. And when Mo Ziya Patriarch arrives, with his Top Profound Immortal strength plus our Mo Family’s Clan Suppressing Immortal Device, we will surely be able to suppress Jiang Yufeng on the spot!"
With a stern shout, she commanded, "Take action! Alleviate the pressure on Long Fei!"
"This Jiang Yufeng... how can he be so strong!"
Master Wanxiang gritted his teeth and once again manifested the Divine Mountain Phenomenon.
At this moment, he regretted in his heart.
If he had known that Gu Jinlai’s Cultivation was so strong, the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect would never have chosen to be his enemy under any circumstances.
But now, things had come to this, and they had no choice but to hold on and fully cooperate with the Mo Family to suppress Gu Jinlai; that was their only way out.
"I refuse to believe his Spirit Crystals are inexhaustible!"
Mo Longjian also followed up by invoking his Geng Metal Heavenly Dao once more.
In the void, it was as if a Giant Sword that could slice through the Sky Dome had materialized, carrying with it a dazzling, murderous aura, shooting straight towards Gu Jinlai, who was wielding the South Fire Divine Light.
Seeing this, Gu Jinlai clenched his left hand, and it seemed as if a terrifying field of constriction appeared in the void.
This Giant Sword, imbued with terrifying sharpness as if it could slay everything under the heavens, was held immobile in the void by an invisible giant hand, unable to budge in the slightest.
Despite countless golden Sword Qi continuously shooting out from the Giant Sword, each strand immediately found itself mired in a swamp, only traveling a few miles before being dissipated into nothingness.
"It’s the Primordial Magnetic Power! He’s mastered the three Heavenly Daos of Fierce Flames, Earth, and Thunder!"
Master Wanxiang said in a low voice.
"Then what are you waiting for! Use the Earth power you control to neutralize his Primordial Magnetic Power!"
Ning Yu Immortal Master shouted fiercely.
Her husband Mo Longfei was still in a dangerous situation; even the Purple Thunder Divine Sword was at risk of being forged by the South Fire Divine Light.
"It is being neutralized, but I don’t have enough Spirit Crystals to activate the Heavenly Dao at such a high intensity anymore..."
Master Wanxiang said.
Ning Yu Immortal Master’s face changed instantly.
"The power of the Heavenly Dao summoned by the arrival Formation is about to run out!"
At this time, a Daoist Master from behind them abruptly spoke up.
