Darkness!
An endless storm of darkness surged across the battlefield.
The Fallen Holy Son didn't bother speaking. The moment he arrived, he launched his assault—no words, no threats. He clearly had no interest in banter. Between him and Yi Tianxing, there was no room for negotiation.
Power determines truth.
The strong make the rules; the weak pay the price.
And so, he struck—his very first move already a killing blow.
The power within the storm was immense. Even a True Spirit Realm cultivator caught within would be instantly crushed and obliterated. The area affected was vast and brutal—a full display of his monstrous-level might.
The dark storm raged, a chaotic torrent tearing through space.
"This Emperor declares: Light shall banish darkness. Radiant Illumination!!"
Standing atop the Nine-Dragon War Chariot, Yi Tianxing's eyes flashed solemnly. His left hand tapped the Heavenly Emperor's Jade Belt at his waist, producing a crisp chime as mystical power surged from within.
He spoke a single phrase, word by word—with unmatched weight:
Innate Divine Ability: Golden Tongue, Jade Words (金口玉言)
Artifact: Heavenly Emperor's Jade Belt – Infinite Power
As the words fell, endless light burst forth, radiating with holy majesty. In an instant, the light transformed into a vast white sea, spreading outward like a tidal wave—true Radiant Illumination, seeking to dispel all darkness.
It was a battle between two extremes: light vs. dark.
Wherever the light touched, darkness recoiled.
Swords of darkness clashed with swords of light, both spawning ceaselessly and colliding midair. The battlefield became a sea of clashing sword-lights—heaven-shaking and soul-stirring.
Crack!!
The earth split open with gaping fissures. The destructive forces of darkness and the purifying light were evenly matched, creating a deadlock.
"As expected from an Eternal Night monster-level genius… This strength rivals even Dao Platform Realm. Maybe even enough to kill one."Yi Tianxing's gaze flickered, thoughts racing.
"Impressive... As expected of the peerless human genius who dares enter Eternal Night."
"Golden Tongue, Jade Words—what terrifying divine might. A single word becomes law… a true Emperor's Divine Art. Words become reality. Frightening indeed."Even Heaven's Sin was secretly amazed.
Though his opening storm seemed like a probe, it was also a lethal technique—capable of annihilating even Dao Platform Realm cultivators. Anything consumed by the darkness would have its soul eroded, becoming bound as a slave soul.
That's what sets monster-level prodigies apart:
They don't just challenge higher realms—they can kill across realms.
If they couldn't slay opponents stronger than themselves or at least survive the encounter, they weren't worthy of the title "monster-level."
This confrontation had confirmed one thing:
This was a duel between true peerless prodigies.
"Perfect. This is the kind of opponent I crave."Heaven's Sin smiled.
If Yi Tianxing weren't a monster-level genius, he wouldn't even be worth attacking.
Without hesitation, Heaven's Sin activated his next move. From his back, one by one, black Fallen Angel feathers launched outward, each filled with endless Fallen Sword Intent. Together, they formed a terrifying Sword Domain, sweeping toward Yi Tianxing like a descending hell, aiming to completely engulf him.
"Decree: Reverse the Cosmos!!"
Yi Tianxing responded calmly, tapping the jade belt once more and issuing another command.
A mighty invisible force surged into the world—an unshakable divine will.
Instantly, the entire Sword Domain reversed direction. All those black sword-feathers turned and swept toward Heaven's Sin, with full force—now imbued with the Emperor's edict.
This sudden reversal was so shocking that even Heaven's Sin felt threatened—a sense of impending death filled the air.
"Using my own divine power against me? Ridiculous."
"Still, this alone can't hurt me."
Heaven's Sin's face darkened, this reversal clearly a deep humiliation. He coldly flared his wings, unleashing divine radiance that enveloped the sword domain. The sword-feathers disintegrated, then swiftly reassembled and returned to his wings.
He understood now:
Yi Tianxing's Golden Tongue, Jade Words could reverse any supernatural technique.
Unless he used raw physical strength, any divine power could be turned back on him. That kind of ability made many cultivators feel utterly helpless.
He'd expected this. He came prepared.
If supernatural techniques are useless, then fight without them.
"Kill!!"
With that cry, Heaven's Sin drew his personal weapon—a terrifying black longsword named:
"Dark Prison (暗狱)"
This was a top-tier Innate Spirit Treasure, a supreme demonic blade.Dark chains wound around the blade, writhing with countless tormented souls—screaming, wailing, and moaning in eternal agony.
The blade burned with the Sinflame of the Damned, born from the wrath, despair, hatred, and sin of the dead.
It could pollute, corrupt, and burn the very body and soul.
Inside the blade was a true dark prison, housing billions of soul fragments. The more souls imprisoned, the greater the sword's power. It could turn entire realms into hellish graveyards.
Boom!!
With a flap of his wings, Heaven's Sin turned into a stream of black light and charged at Yi Tianxing like a meteor.
"Falling Star!!"
Yi Tianxing responded instantly with a single command.
A massive meteor blazed across the sky, slamming straight down into Heaven's Sin's path, as if fate had locked onto him. Evading was nearly impossible.
Crack!!
But Heaven's Sin didn't even flinch. With one swing of Dark Prison, he split the meteor in half. The flames didn't even scorch him.
That blade was far too sharp—utterly unstoppable.
"Storm!!"
Yi Tianxing shouted again.
A tempest erupted—lightning, thunder, destruction. A maelstrom that could devastate Dao Platform experts.
Heaven's Sin did not dodge. With another swing, his sword ripped the storm in half and pressed forward unimpeded.
"Chains of Light!!"
At Yi Tianxing's call, blinding white chains appeared in the void—sacred bindings that streaked toward Heaven's Sin, intending to bind him completely.
The light element was inherently oppressive to Fallen Angels.
"Light?" Heaven's Sin sneered."That's merely a defeated remnant beneath our race's feet. Darkness is eternal."
He swung Dark Prison, and the sacred chains were shattered like paper.
Even holy power couldn't stop his advance.
At that moment, he was already upon Yi Tianxing.
"My spear pierces all. Nothing is unbreakable to me."
Yi Tianxing stopped speaking. His hand glowed—Skybreaking Spear appeared in his grasp.
ROAAAR!!!
The Nine Dragons of the War Chariot roared, surging forward.
Yi Tianxing charged with the chariot, spear raised high—bronze gleaming, the intent of the spear shaking the heavens, as if it could pierce through the sky itself.
Clang!!
Dark Prison clashed with the Skybreaking Spear.
