The instant the Void Annihilation Slash was shattered, Ji Xuan’s expression changed drastically.
That ancient, vast sword contained a power he could not resist.
He didn’t know what it was.
Because it was a strange power he had never encountered before.
“Could that be the power of the void?”
Ji Xuan suddenly seemed to recall something, his heart skipping a beat.
A tidal wave of jealousy surged uncontrollably within him.
He was the Child of Heaven’s Will, blessed with fortune, perception, and talent beyond compare.
Even he had failed to comprehend the power of the void.
Yet Shen Mo, a junior not even a hundred years old, had managed to do what he could not!
What shocked him even more was that after shattering the Void Annihilation Slash, that ancient, vast sword did not lose momentum and slashed straight toward him!
Its power had only diminished by about thirty percent.
In other words, even after using the Void Incineration Flame with all his strength, he had merely weakened the force of this sword by a small amount!
“Burn the Dharma Body!”
Ji Xuan gave a low roar, and his entire body erupted with blood qi, spiritual power, and demonic energy.
The already shattered Creation Sacred Tree Dharma Body and Netherworld Demon Tree Dharma Body were forcibly reformed by him.
In the next moment, the two giant trees blazed with flames.
Burning one’s Dharma Body was an ultimate, life-risking trump card.
Even if only part of it was burned, that Dharma Body could never be used again.
Once burned, it meant that Dharma Body had reached its end.
Ji Xuan was abandoning even his own future—just to block this attack.
“He’s even burning his Dharma Body...”
Tang Jinglong and the other Dharma Body realm experts were dumbstruck.
None of them could have imagined that Shen Mo could force Ji Xuan to this point.
The strongest of the past several thousand years!
The first Human Emperor!
The joint lord of the three clans!
The super powerhouse who killed the Undying Demon Emperor!
Yet now, he was forced by Shen Mo to burn his Dharma Body.
It was simply unbelievable.
Even witnessing it in person, their minds still reeled, unable to believe it.
“This strike, you cannot block.”
Shen Mo took in everything Ji Xuan did, his expression remaining calm.
The ancient void sword seemed like a heavenly tribulation, as if it would cleave Ji Xuan and the surrounding space in two.
At first, the two burning giant trees could barely withstand it.
But as the void sword descended,
Their rate of burning only increased.
In just a few dozen breaths, the once-intact Dharma Bodies had burned all the way to the roots.
Then, in a single moment,
Both Dharma Bodies were reduced entirely to ash,
Scattering as countless points of light.
Ji Xuan’s pupils contracted suddenly.
And in the next instant,
The void sword pierced straight through his chest!
There was no fountain of blood.
A huge hole had appeared in his chest.
His heart and the nearby organs had vanished without a trace.
It was as if that entire portion of space had been sliced away.
Ji Xuan tried to speak, but no words came out.
He collapsed completely, his body hitting the ground with a heavy thud.
Bai Liejiu and the others were stunned.
Ao Guang took a deep breath, then shouted, “Ji Xuan, your death is well-deserved! Well done, Brother Shen Mo!”
“I endured humiliation just so I could make that villain trust me. Now Brother Shen has finally avenged me!”
Tang Jinglong and the others: “...”
Ao Qin covered his face with a claw. “We’re both flood dragons—can you show a little dignity?”
Shen Mo glanced at Ao Guang. “You think he’s dead? No, he’s not.”
Ao Guang’s heart trembled.
‘Damn it, I’ve switched sides twice already. Are you trying to make me switch a third time?’
“No, impossible, he must be dead!” Ao Guang insisted.
The next instant, Ji Xuan’s body suddenly sprang up,
And shot away at great speed into the distance.
He really wasn’t dead!
