Boom!

Xiang Tiandi's eyes were filled with rage; he could hardly tolerate, let alone accept, that he was actually... actually forced into close combat, fighting for life and death, by a mere mortal.

'I actually... actually got threatened by a mortal to the point of risking my life?!'

At the same time, due to the close-range influence of Madness Disaster and the continued mechanical distortion and destruction within the Luotian Realm, his eyes grew ever more frenzied and enraged.

He actively slashed out with a knife mixed with lightning, but suddenly, his Primordial Spirit flared with agitation, and his blade faltered.

Xiang Tiandi froze slightly: 'Of all times... the mutation affected my strike...'

In the next moment, Zhou Bai evaded the blade's edge and punched him in the chest, causing a booming sound, and his blood and Primordial Spirit shook violently.

But Zhou Bai's eyes remained utterly clear. After a series of delays, snatching Daozang, advancing to the seventh realm, destroying the Iron of Stabilizing the Sea, and breaking into the Luotian Realm, activating Kuang Tu, he had finally narrowed the gap in power between himself and Xiang Tiandi to an unprecedentedly small extent.

At this moment, he relied on the first star point of Kuang Tu combined with the explosive growth of his seventh realm power to clash fiercely with Xiang Tiandi, while continually healing himself using lazy energy value, keeping himself constantly in a peak state.

"Xiang Tiandi..." Behind Zhou Bai, twelve halos bloomed, each green light trembling, constantly absorbing the thunder coming from Xiang Tiandi.

His flesh surged, steel-like muscle fibers were torn and then continuously healed by lazy energy value.

The Abyss Nether Dragon Armor emitted cries under their intense clashes, seemingly reaching some kind of limit.

The Primordial Spirit in the Apocalypse Heavenly Skeleton Armor ignited blazing black flames, seemingly wanting to burn its power completely to nothing.

Boom!

The knife and palm clashed violently again, accompanied by blinding thunderlight enough to explode a mortal, Zhou Bai's hands tightly gripped the lightning knife, and amidst the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor's cries, scorch marks exploded on the hand armor.

"...I said..."

Zhou Bai opened his mouth and spat, ejecting a nuclear warhead directly from Elsa's belly, then detonating it at zero distance between them.

Boom!

The earth-shattering fire ignited the entire Heavenly Arena space.

The dazzling flash turned the whole scene white in an instant, and countless people closed their eyes in shock at this moment.

Searing flame flows burned every inch of space, turning the entire Heavenly Arena into hell on Earth.

But amidst this hell of light energy, radiation, explosion, and flames, two men with iron bodies stood straight in the shockwave's sway, not falling.

Xiang Tiandi's vestment robe first cracked open in seams, and his eyes filled with rage: "Zhou Bai! You arrogant, ignorant..."

"...You've kneeled!" Zhou Bai gripping the lightning knife with one hand, under the dual pressure of the lightning knife and his palm, the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor of mere ninth realm could no longer withstand this continuous onslaught, and the hand armor directly began to shatter.

Yet Zhou Bai's other hand lit up directly with light.

Genesis Star River destruction!

Carrying the brilliance of a solar explosion, Zhou Bai launched another punch at Xiang Tiandi.

Nine Heavens Divine Thunder!

Xiang Tiandi similarly struck with a fist, the solar brilliance was swallowed by the divine thunder's electric glow, then the electric glow was swept away by the second burst of solar explosion's brilliance.

Amidst the confrontation of two forces with terrifying destructive power, the destructive light engulfed the entire arena, the earth-shaking explosion roar directly drowned out the ears of all cultivators.

Countless people gazed soundlessly at the apocalyptic battleground on the Heavenly Arena, as if watching the end of the world.

In the blazing brilliance, Zhou Bai's blurry figure once again raised his fist high, his mouth slightly opened, and shouted silently in the tens of thousands of degrees high-temperature environment.

"Xiang Tiandi, you're about to lose."

Boom!

Xiang Tiandi's blood-shot eyes widened, yet another Nine Heavens Divine Thunder was forcibly struck: "Absurd!"

The unsubsided explosions quickly pervaded the entire Heavenly Arena again, with the temperature continuously rising under their duel, instantly turning it into a fiery hue, like a burning star.

'Last three nuclear warheads, I should've brought more.'

Xiang Tiandi barely used the lightning knife to resist the explosion, then saw Zhou Bai walking through the flames, his aura and blood still maintained at their peak.

Zhou Bai walked step by step toward Xiang Tiandi, twelve green lights spread behind him like his wings, constantly trembling, absorbing the surrounding light and heat.

Distorted faces floated around him in the flames, and one by one, Zhou Bai crawled out of black void cracks, but screamed as they were burned by high temperatures.

With every step Zhou Bai took, a string of distorted wailing faces was left on the ground.

Watching Zhou Bai approaching step by step, Xiang Tiandi angrily shouted: "Why? Why can you always maintain a peak state?"

Not only maintaining a peak state, Xiang Tiandi also felt that Zhou Bai often had two burst forces in one move, as if two Zhou Bai were besieging him.

Zhou Bai's eyes were wrapped in scorching flame flows, and he looked at his opponent coldly, saying: "Who allowed you to stand and speak with me?"

Once again, a blinding light flared up as Xiang Tiandi's vestment robe exploded with a roar, his hair dancing like Spirit Snakes. He was getting closer to mutation.

Xiang Tiandi could feel his Primordial Spirit and body growing weaker under continuous assaults, while Zhou Bai remained in peak condition, as if it was the very moment the battle began.

Another strike descended from the heavens, and Xiang Tiandi fiercely swung his blade upward. The scorching current shot skyward, only to be slammed down by Zhou Bai, crashing back onto the Thunder Blade.

Boom!

Xiang Tiandi felt his body, at that moment, as heavy as Mount Tai, his spine involuntarily bending.

Feeling this, Xiang Tiandi's anger surged like volcanic eruptions. How could he bow to a mere mortal?

Mere fodder, slaves, mortals as insignificant as grass.

"Ha!"

Xiang Tiandi urged the remaining power of his Primordial Spirit within, trying to fend off Zhou Bai, but he felt a second strike, a third strike, descending one after another.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

With each strike, Xiang Tiandi's spine bent several degrees more, and with the final strike, as the same force exploded forth, his knees bent.

"Xiang Tiandi!"

Zhou Bai shouted explosively, like bombs suddenly detonating, blowing away all the flames and smoke, revealing the figures of the two on the arena.

At this moment, Xiang Tiandi's entire body was covered in blood, scales floating up from his hands only to be shattered, oozing foul-smelling blood.

"Marshal of the Thunder Division!"

Boom! A punch shattered the Thunder Blade.

"True God of the Heavenly Court!"

Boom! Accompanied by the burst of gravity from the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword, another punch was launched.

Xiang Tiandi also converted his right hand into a palm to meet the punch.

His right hand suddenly swelled and burst with scales, spiraling out of control, then was blasted open by Zhou Bai's punch.

He watched this scene in shock: 'Why, at this moment, does my right hand start to mutate? Why the right hand?!'

Fear and mania flashed in his eyes, staring incredulously at Zhou Bai: "You!"

"I said, gods are not allowed to gaze at me!

"Kneel!"

Bang!

With his remaining left hand, Xiang Tiandi desperately held up against Zhou Bai's punch, yet felt his body uncontrollably sinking toward the ground.

An inch... an inch...

Madness, fury, murderous intent flickered in his eyes...

"Ah!!!!"

No matter how he resisted, with one battle after another and his power draining, Xiang Tiandi reached an unprecedented low, unable to prevent his body from descending steadily.

He could only watch helplessly as his knees fell inch by inch to the ground, finally making a light thud.

As Xiang Tiandi's knees hit the ground, his mouth was bitten to the extent that it was filled with blood, his furious eyes riveted on Zhou Bai.

At this moment, everyone in the world stared in shock at this scene, some with mouths agape, some looking bewildered, others with vacant stares.

At this moment, the world's trajectory was changed.

And the fiery rage of complete loss of sanity flickered in Xiang Tiandi's eyes as he knelt on the ground.

Tear!

As the flesh on his back was ripped open, a pair of wings extended and spread from his back.

Jiu Xiao Marshal's face changed dramatically: "Xiang Tiandi! Stop!"

Boom!

The pure golden wings fully spread, nearly covering half of the Heavenly Arena.

Xiang Tiandi's face contorted, a voice utterly devoid of emotion or humanity emanating from his mouth.

"Zhou Bai... I... will eat you."
