The Azure Dragon Spear had been a gift from A Da back when
It was an Artifact forged primarily from the body of a Sacred Dragon, its grade so high that none in the current era could compare.
Yet such a spear had actually developed a crack during its clash with Mo, a testament to the sheer intensity of this battle.
In other words, under Mo's assaults, even the Sacred Dragon's body could barely endure.
The moment the first crack appeared, a second and a third followed in rapid succession. Before long, the entire spear was riddled with fractures, on the verge of shattering.
Seeing this, a look of mockery surfaced in Mo's eyes, and his attacks grew even more ferocious.
Yang Kai suppressed the reluctance in his heart, channeling the full power of his Dao into a single devastating thrust.
When the cataclysmic forces collided, Yang Kai's body jolted, and the spear that had accompanied him for thousands of years exploded into countless fragments, utterly destroyed.
This was the opportunity Mo had been waiting for. The instant the Azure Dragon Spear shattered, he closed in and drove a fist straight toward Yang Kai.
This was a blow meant to decide life and death. In Mo's estimation, having lost the advantage of his weapon, Yang Kai would inevitably have to dodge for the moment. And if he did, Mo could press forward step by step, seizing complete control of the battle's rhythm. By then, Yang Kai would have no way to turn the tide.
Yet contrary to his expectations, rather than retreating after the spear's destruction, Yang Kai advanced.
The River of Time and Space that had once coiled around the spear seemed to come alive, clinging to his arm as he met Mo's assault with a fist of his own.
The power of their Daos crashed together in a thunderous upheaval.
The instant their forces collided, a visible ripple of light expanded outward in all directions from the epicenter where the two combatants stood.
Wherever that ripple passed, space shattered apart, and enormous rifts in the void yawned open…
The human Ninth-Order cultivators who had already reached the edge of the battlefield were struck with horror. Facing the shockwaves barreling toward them, they frantically channeled their power to defend.
They were still sent tumbling. The Ninth-Order cultivators, already not at their peak, were thrown into complete disarray. Fortunately, the two Giant Divine Spirits had positioned themselves in front, and under A Da and A Er's protection, no casualties occurred.
Once the shockwaves dissipated, the Ninth-Order cultivators wore expressions of bitter resignation.
They had originally come to lend Yang Kai a hand, but midway, the allied forces of the Human Race and the Small Stone Clan had already been forced to stop at a distance, unable to endure the pressure and press any further.
And now they realized that even they, as Ninth-Order cultivators, could draw no closer to the battlefield. Under such shockwaves, even a Ninth-Order would be torn to shreds.
The only ones they could pin their hopes on were the Giant Divine Spirits, A Da and A Er…
Mi Jinglun raised his gaze toward the two colossal figures, only to immediately realize that they too could no longer be relied upon.
After a grueling battle of epic proportions, all survivors had been drained of immense energy, A Da and A Er included. Though they had managed to withstand the attack's shockwaves moments ago, their bodies had been forced steadily backward.
In such a state, how could they possibly intervene in the battle? Charging in rashly would only drag Yang Kai down.
And so Mi Jinglun realized with sorrow that all these powerhouses had managed to do was bear witness with their own eyes to a battle unprecedented in all of history. What a bitter irony that was.
As the shockwaves faded, the crowd peered past A Da and A Er toward the battlefield, their hearts tightening with dread. They could see Yang Kai's figure being driven back step by step, completely losing ground.
Against an ancient Supreme like Mo, Yang Kai's foundation was simply too shallow. The slightest opening or lapse in attention could prove to be the spark of his doom.
