Countless soldiers and several commanders on the Star River passage watched this great battle in shock.
A human-wave tactic might work against a commander. But against a Highgod Paragon... it was useless. The Paragons fought in the center of the passage, and the surrounding soldiers could only stop, not even daring to approach within a kilometer.
"The power of a Chief God doesn't match," Lin Lei secretly shook his head. In the brief clash just now, Lin Lei had not undergone draconification at first. Yet Lin Lei without draconification was actually at a disadvantage fighting
In this aspect, he was slightly weaker. Even with his spatial-binding ultimate move, he was still at a disadvantage.
Lin Lei had no choice but to undergo draconification!
Once he transformed, Lin Lei's attacking power soared, and in terms of physical attacks, he actually gained the upper hand.
"Last time I sparred with Leylin, I didn't draconify. After transforming, just as I thought..."
Willforce was a very special existence.
Wherever Lin Lei's will reached, its power increased dramatically. This applied whether it was his dragon scale defense or his various attacks. This Willforce had the miraculous effect of turning rot into magic. A Highgod Paragon didn't even need a Chief God's artifact to easily withstand the attacks of a commander wielding one.
"To kill a Highgod Paragon is indeed very difficult." Lin Lei looked up at Magnus.
Magnus didn't have a defensive Chief God's artifact, but the defense formed purely from Chief God's power, infused with Highgod Paragon might, prevented Lin Lei's dragon tail, fists, and feet from severely injuring him.
A Paragon had no weaknesses—this was no empty statement!
In both defense and offense, he was extremely powerful, even without a Chief God's artifact!
"Whoosh!" Lin Lei's figure shot up like a phantom, soaring into the sky. Then he and Magnus hovered opposite each other high above.
The two supreme powerhouses floated in the air above the passage.
"The
Hovering in the air, Lin Lei lightly flicked his dragon tail, his gaze fixed on his opponent, showing no impatience.
Magnus extended his hands forward, and instantly, a luminous sphere the height of a person materialized before him. Inside this huge sphere, a blooming, translucent lotus appeared, seemingly wreathed in swirling mist. The seven-colored light shooting up from the Star River passage reflected upon it, making it exquisitely beautiful.
"He's really going all out!" Lin Lei sneered.
Last time, the same move Magnus used nearly killed Lin Lei, but instead allowed him to escape death and undergo a transformation. However, last time, the luminous sphere was only the size of a fist, while this time it was a person's height! In fact, the move was the same, only the amount of Soul Power consumed was vastly different!
Actually, this hazy, person-sized luminous sphere could be considered equivalent to hundreds or thousands of fist-sized spheres.
"Hmph!"
Magnus's gaze turned cold. The huge luminous sphere hovering before his chest transformed into a bolt of lightning, shooting toward Lin Lei.
"Haha..." Lin Lei simply burst into loud laughter. His entire body resembled a human porcupine as countless translucent sword waves shot out from his skin. In an instant, tens of thousands of sword waves were released, simultaneously attacking the two-meter-high sphere.
Wave upon wave, tens of thousands of sword waves surged toward the luminous sphere.
"Boom!" The sphere's surface layer instantly shattered, revealing the blooming translucent lotus within. At first glance, the lotus looked like an ice sculpture.
Countless translucent sword waves shot toward the translucent lotus!
"Whoosh!" This colossal lotus still flew toward Lin Lei at extreme speed, constantly rotating as it dissolved the sword waves one after another. But simultaneously... the lotus itself was also dissolving, its volume rapidly shrinking.
"Hmm?" Magnus's expression changed. "Such a powerful soul attack!"
The might of Lin Lei's Void Sword Waves shocked Magnus.
In the brief moment of contact, the formed lotus had drastically reduced in size.
It wasn't strange. Even after fusing four profound insights of the Laws of the Earth, Lin Lei's soul attack profound insight was still much weaker than Magnus's move. However, Lin Lei's Soul Power was more than ten times stronger than even Chief God's power. His Willforce was also nearly ten times stronger than a Highgod Paragon's. These two factors made Lin Lei's soul attack comparable to Magnus's.
"Hmph." Magnus thought, and instantly, the rapidly dissolving and shrinking lotus began to spin. Its petals scattered, transforming into dozens of curved trajectories flying toward Lin Lei. Lin Lei's Void Sword Waves only managed to intercept a portion; the rest of the lotus petals penetrated Lin Lei's body.
"Magnus, is this the extent of your ultimate move's power?" Lin Lei looked at Magnus.
"How can this be?" Magnus was secretly alarmed. "Even if this Lin Lei could withstand it, he shouldn't be completely without reaction?"
Lin Lei was indeed completely unfazed, because the defensive soul Chief God's artifact, the
With a defensive soul Chief God's artifact, why would he fear such an attack?
"Haha, Magnus, you're nothing more than this." Lin Lei laughed heartily, his laughter echoing across the Star River. "Then it's my turn!"
As his voice echoed, Lin Lei himself charged toward Magnus, wielding the Shadowless Divine Sword. Simultaneously, a massive number of Void Sword Waves shot out from Lin Lei's body, firing toward Magnus.
"Don't talk big, what can you do to me?" Magnus refused to show weakness, and his own laugh rang out.
One must know, there were far too many spectators right now—commanders and warriors from various Deity Planes and Highgod Planes. If he lost, news of this battle would surely spread rapidly across countless planes. If he showed weakness, where would Magnus put his face?
"Whoosh!" Lin Lei's dragon tail struck unexpectedly from an unguarded angle.
"I can't let him get close!" Magnus retreated violently.
Once Lin Lei closed in, every part of his body could be a weapon, including elbow spikes, dragon tail, and more, all capable of threatening Magnus.
Although the description seemed slow, the reality was like a flash of lightning. Two supreme powerhouses standing at the peak of godhood clashed at dizzying speed. Each clash caused the heavens to shatter and the earth to split. Even the soul attacks... the surrounding soldiers and commanders had to be careful. Perhaps a single stray Void Sword Wave from Lin Lei, or a single petal lost by Magnus, could be enough to kill them.
The fighting on this section of the Star River passage had stopped, but on another passage, the battle had reached its most frenzied moment.
