Chapter 973: Chapter 973

For the past few months, besides relentlessly advancing his skills and continuously comprehending the Heavenly Dao to restore his Dao transformation using the Ethereum Weijiuchen Algorithm, Xiang Tiandi has been retraining in Thunder Arts and blade techniques.

He abandoned the Nine Heavens Demon Clearing Thunder Technique lost from the Heavenly Arena and instead used his demonic bloodline and years of experience in swordsmanship and Thunder Arts to retrain his martial techniques, merging all his strength into one to create the Nine Forms of the Heavenly Thunder Saber.

At this moment, as he unleashed the Thunder Mountain Blade Sea, the Thunder Arts, blade techniques, and even the bloodline power within his demonic body fused entirely as one. The realm of proficiency displayed in his Dao techniques and martial arts was remarkably extraordinary, enough to cleave mountains and shatter peaks with one strike. Even ordinary deities and immortals would suffer severe damage to their Primordial Spirits and Divine Bodies from this blow.

Under this slash, Xiang Tiandi also integrated the Method of Communication with Spirits, condensing the destructive thunder and Dao intent into a single point, enhancing its destructive power more than tenfold.

Yet, in the face of Xiang Tiandi's Thunder Mountain Blade Sea, Zhou Bai calmly stepped back and then unleashed a similar strike, with thunder self-generating and blade light criss-crossing, bearing an astonishing resemblance to Xiang Tiandi's Thunder Arts and blade techniques, about eighty to ninety percent similar.

After the breakthrough of Zhou Bai's Dao transformation to 80%, his talent experienced continuous growth, coupled with the comprehensive enhancement brought by other divine diagrams, he was now considered a once-in-a-millennium prodigy in Dao cultivation.

The last time his Dao transformation broke through 70%, leveraging his incredibly robust talent, he had already cracked the Heavenly Sword swordsmanship of the Great Xia Dynasty in an instant. Using the Heavenly Sword swordsmanship to wield the Human Emperor Sword, and with only fifty percent of Distortion Shadow's power, he resisted the then Si Yi Heavenly Lord.

Now, with the Dao transformation breakthrough to 80%, both his strength and talent had reached an unfathomable stage.

Frankly speaking, how strong Zhou Bai's combat power was now, how high his talent reached, even he himself only had a vague estimation, not knowing his true potential limit, questioning even if he could defeat himself.

At this very moment, when Zhou Bai's gaze lightly swept past Xiang Tiandi, the secrets of the Nine Heavens Demon Clearing Thunder Technique previously practiced, various knife and Thunder Arts techniques, and even the secrets of divine body mechanics encountered briefly through time reverse, all flashed through his mind one by one.

Never before had everything seemed so simple, even the blade techniques of Xiang Tiandi now appeared to hold no secrets.

Thus, upon witnessing Xiang Tiandi's Thunder Mountain Blade Sea, Zhou Bai executed it with his earth-shattering aptitude, and with stunning control, concentrated the power of the blade style into a single point, exhibiting might and grandeur on par with Xiang Tiandi before him.

Blade light collided, thunder illuminated, and Xiang Tiandi felt every inch of power beneath his strike dissipate completely, as the blade capable of battling the heavens and breaking the earth stirred not the slightest ripple.

The intention of slaying demons and clearing devils within the blade aura was astonishingly similar, mutually nullifying and dispersing.

Xiang Tiandi was astonished, 'These Thunder Arts and blade techniques, weren't they the cultivation I refined over the past few months? How can Zhou Bai wield them so similarly? Is his talent of such a level?'

The next moment, murderous intent surged from Xiang Tiandi, planning to strike with full force and use his 160% Dao transformation's Method of Communication with Spirits' might to capture the opponent.

But just as a layered distortion of space flickered around Xiang Tiandi, a sigh sounded.

Zhou Bai said, "Thunder Division Marshal..."

The blade light and lightning approached, filling Xiang Tiandi's vision with a vast expanse of white, where only the echoing thunder and a sigh could be heard amidst the light.

"No more than this..."

In the next moment, blade and thunder light, indistinguishable from each other, descended upon Xiang Tiandi with the momentum of tearing the sky asunder.

Combining his Thunder Arts and blade techniques, Xiang Tiandi's was akin to the thunder of the Nine Heavens falling, embodying extreme speed and power to eradicate masses of demons.

Yet Zhou Bai's descending strike was pure strength and sheer force, reducing everything obstructing him to dust and ripping the heavens and earth apart.

Xiang Tiandi widened his eyes in astonishment, as Zhou Bai now executed the blade move that was strikingly the ninth form of his self-created Great Heavenly Thunder Saber — Heaven and Earth Creation.

Xiang Tiandi also performed a Heaven and Earth Creation slash, colliding with Zhou Bai's blade momentum, then dissipating into layers upon layers of distorted space, a slash powerful enough to slay gods and immortals being mutually neutralized.

Xiang Tiandi, with a complex expression, looked at Zhou Bai, as an awe-inspiring thought resounded in his mind, 'This lad... from my single slash, did he deduce my Nine Forms of the Heavenly Thunder Saber to the final form?'

As Xiang Tiandi felt immense astonishment, the lightning in Zhou Bai's hand transformed once more into blade light, and he softly said, "Your blade technique, there seems to be another style yet."

Xiang Tiandi was dumbfounded, another style? How did he not know? Orıginal content can be found at 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒·𝗇𝗲𝘁

But the following instant, he saw Zhou Bai unleash a slash, where lightning and blade light amalgamated into a true beam, accompanied by a thunderclap, it flashed by and vanished.

When Xiang Tiandi reacted, the blade light had already brushed past a strand of his hair.

This slash had instantly traversed the layered distorted space surrounding him, slicing off a strand of Xiang Tiandi's hair in an instant, traversing dozens of miles within.

Xiang Tiandi was shocked even more deeply, 'This slash, wielding thunder through blade stance, wielding blade light through thunder, with one cut it's like the thunder rolling from Jiu Xiao, instantly decapitating the enemy... even I have only faintly thought of it...he actually demonstrated and executed it just by seeing me strike once?'

At this moment, Xiang Tiandi felt a profound sense of defeat and setback.

Even being directly beaten to his knees, he wouldn't feel as defeated as he did now.

It was a feeling of being utterly crushed by intelligence and talent.

However, Xiang Tiandi, being Thunder Division Marshal, quickly repressed that sense of loss, exhaling lightly and looking at Zhou Bai with a calm demeanor.

'Even though his talent is shocking, as long as he doesn't become an immortal or a god, no matter how strong his blade technique is, what can it do to me?'

'If I fully utilize the power of the Method of Communication with Spirits, even if his blade technique is at its peak, he can't harm me in the slightest.'

'Moreover, I haven't yet used the abomination weapons... there are still many trump cards I haven't revealed...'

Recalling the extensive preparations made over the past few months, Xiang Tiandi's confidence was quickly restored.

On the other side, Zhou Bai said, "How was my execution of that slash? It should be the final move of your blade technique, right?"

Xiang Tiandi said expressionlessly, "Not bad."

"Hehe," Zhou Bai chuckled lightly, "Xiang Tiandi, you're not my match, but I'm not here to fight you today. I have something to discuss with you deities disguised as these demons and monsters."

Xiang Tiandi snorted coldly, thinking to himself, 'He can't harm me, but to capture him would take at least a thousand moves, and he could very well escape. Might as well hear what he wants to say.'

Seeing Xiang Tiandi's silence, Zhou Bai continued, "Your God Emperor has gone missing, and the one in the Heavenly Court now is likely the Supreme Heavenly Venerate in disguise."
