"Darn it!" Xia Feikua gritted his teeth.
The Saw Wheel Light he had painstakingly prepared, finally managed to unleash, now seemed like a joke.
The small turtle shell-shaped thoughts continued to grow at this very moment.
Fifty thousand, sixty thousand…
Their numbers surged ever higher, not only spilling out of the valley but also expanding outwards.
Densely packed small turtle shells, some suspended in midair, others gently spinning on their own. In the center was Fang Yuan transformed into a divination turtle, its massive form like a hill forged from iron.
"I can't let this go on!" The urgency in Xia Feikua's heart grew stronger.
"The rate of growth is incredible. No wonder Wu Yihai wanted to set such sparring rules. Still, Lord Xia Feikua surely has more tricks up his sleeve; the outcome of this battle is far from decided." Xia Zhuomo thought, his hopeful gaze fixed on Xia Feikua hovering in the air.
Xia Feikua was already preparing his killing move.
A torrent of gu insect auras burst forth, overwhelmingly powerful.
A flash of arrogance appeared on his face as he stared down from his lofty position at the divination turtle.
"No matter how numerous, they are just thoughts. What can they do?"
"Take this—Thirty-Three Days of Light!"
"I want to see exactly how many layers of my heavenly light these thoughts of yours can endure!"
Immortal Path Killing Move: Thirty-Three Days of Light!
One of Xia Feikua's signature techniques, renowned throughout the Southern Border.
"Is it coming? Lord Xia Feikua's area-of-effect attack!" Xia Zhuomo felt a sudden surge of excitement.
This killing move had quite the reputation.
Once activated, Xia Feikua himself became the wick, radiating blindingly fierce light.
Under the illumination of this light, any object would suffer damage of the light Dao.
The intense light flashed consecutively thirty-three times, and the illuminated area was vast, as if descending from the heavens, hence its name.
On the first flash, the heavenly light's damage to all things wasn't very high; at most, it could exterminate some insects.
But on the second flash, the damage escalated, capable of obliterating flowers and grass.
By the third flash, birds and beasts would perish beneath the heavenly light.
On the fourth flash, great trees would disintegrate, and mountains would crumble.
The fifth flash, the sixth flash…
And so on, the intense light's damage grew ever stronger, eventually threatening desolate beasts, even primordial desolate beasts.
Although the small turtle shell thoughts were tough, they couldn't compare to desolate beasts at all. They would definitely be directly scoured away by the Thirty-Three Days of Light.
This was an indisputable fact.
Xia Feikua deploying this move was also a clever tactic.
The Thirty-Three Days of Light actually had limited practicality because once activated, the user had to remain stationary; even the slightest movement would abruptly halt the killing move.
Xia Feikua would even suffer backlash injuries.
Of course, there were degrees of severity.
If the move was halted before the tenth flash, Xia Feikua would suffer minor injuries; between the tenth and twenty-third flash, the injuries would be moderate; after the twenty-third flash, it would be severe injuries. If the move was forced to stop after the thirtieth flash, the backlash would be even stronger, potentially driving Xia Feikua to the brink of death.
The more powerful the Immortal Path Killing Move, the greater the backlash harm if it failed.
Soon, light exploded in a flash!
First flash: Fang Yuan's turtle shell thoughts remained unmoved.
Second flash: The thoughts continued to grow, unaffected.
Third flash: The thoughts began to waver slightly.
Fourth flash: Individual thoughts started to collapse on their own.
Fifth flash: Hundreds of thoughts instantly disintegrated, vanishing into nothing.
Xia Zhuomo, observing the battle from the sidelines, couldn't help but smile at the sight.
This was only the fifth flash.
