954 Self-detonation
Paradise of Demonic Gods
The prowess of this sword attack could destroy the entire Earth's ecological system. At the sight of this, the killing intent in Ulpian surged to greater heights, and the silver river seemed to become ten times more violent than before.
"Fang Xingjian, you've really made me angry!"
Just as Fang Xingjian's full-power sword attack turned into absolute darkness to tear apart the silver river and was charging out toward the continent, the several billion people on the ground suddenly noticed that the heavenly river above their heads had suddenly disappeared.
No, it was not as if all of the heavenly rivers had disappeared. At the Central City, not only had the heavenly rivers not disappeared, but its number was increasing at an unbelievable speed.
The seething heavenly rivers were previously just the size of lakes. Yet, in the blink of an eye, their depths had exceeded ten kilometers and they were still continuing to increase. They had turned from lakes into oceans.
'Self-translocation?' Fang Xingjian immediately realized what was going on. '...Using the heavenly rivers as a medium to translocate themselves across space.'
All the heavenly rivers that were above the continent instantly gathered in the sky above the Central City.
A silver river that was comparable to the size of the Pacific Ocean seethed in the sky, bellowing furiously. A power that could tear apart the entire continent eventually clashed fiercely against Fang Xingjian's sword attack.
At the instant this collision occurred, Fang Xingjian sensed that something was not right.
Each sword force, impact, and attack that disintegrated all things in the world was negated by a counteracting force.
This was the first time that Fang Xingjian had felt astonished since the battle started. It was because the waves from the heavenly river that soared into the sky had directly negated the All-Conquering Sword's attacks using streams of powers which were the complete opposite from the All-Conquering Sword's.
How complicated was the structure of the All-Conquering Sword that Fang Xingjian had slashed out? It was an extremely destructive power which could instantly annihilate countless amounts of matter instantly. Even Fang Xingjian himself was unable to calculate each and every bit of power it exerted.
Yet Ulpian was currently using such an unbelievable means to negate the All-Conquering Sword. This was a defensive method that Fang Xingjian had never thought of before.
At the next moment, countless seething thunderbolts, flames, and high temperatures were released from the silver river. Clearly, Ulpian was going to activate some sort of technique to wipe out Fang Xingjian completely.
'However, the heavenly river has finally amassed together.'
Fang Xingjian looked at the turbulent heavenly river under his feet, and a hint of a smile curled up at the corners of his lips. The Heavenly River Virtual Image that Ulpian had turned into filled up half the planet's surface, preventing Fang Xingjian from being able to attack effectively.
This attack, that was aimed at the land, had caused the heavenly river to gather in the sky above the Central City just like he had expected.
'Then I can activate it now.'
Fang Xingjian's gaze narrowed, and at the next moment, a myriad of sword light burst out from all over his body.
Simultaneously, Edward's eyes were wide-open and his mouth was agape as he looked at the scene in the sky. Or rather, everyone who was able to watch the battle and was strong enough to understand the situation were all so astonished that they were speechless.
Edward sighed and said, "Fang Xingjian's series of attacks is already capable of annihilating mankind, killing me several hundred times over.
"However, Ulpian is even more amazing. If Fang Xingjian is a god, then Ulpian is be the god above all gods."
Just then, the gazes of Ming Wang, Fahui, and Akaryuu Juushirou narrowed. They raised up their Panwei, Thunder Calamity, and Abyss together and darted out toward the sky.
"Fang Xingjian mustn't be allowed to run amok like this."
"We must stop him from annihilating mankind."
In the blink of an eye, the trio soared up toward the sky and smashed their way into the silver river.
At the sight of this scene, Edward was slightly stunned. "Are they crazy? This battle is no longer one that we can interfere in."
Looking at the trio who had charged into the silver river, Ulpian frowned. "Leave the battlefield."
However, the three of them did not listen to him. Their eyes were dazed like they were three marionettes. They raised their longswords and slashed out fiercely toward the silver river around them.
"What are you guys doing?" Ulpian frowned.
At the next moment, his countenance changed. "No, it has already happened."
He had just noticed that the Akaryuu Juushirou and the other two seemed to be images which were one step slower. Under his actual vision, the trio's swords had already come slashing down, shattered, and shot out terrifying sword light.
It was only now that the trio suddenly woke up. Looking at the divine swords they held but had lost control of, their countenances changed drastically.
'What's going on?"
"What on earth has happened?"
The Thunder Calamity, Abyss, and Panwei Swords had self-detonated. Simultaneously, Fang Xingjian also slashed out fiercely toward the heavenly river from the outside with his White Bone Longsword.
During the process of the White Bone Longsword slashing down, it shattered and also self-detonated.
The three Commanders watched as Fang Xingjian stepped in void space and slowly walked toward them. Wherever he passed by, it was as if the silver river did not exist.
The three people were all surprised by the sight of Fang Xingjian. They were about to make a move when they discovered their bodies were no longer under their control as they charged out toward the three detonating divine swords.
"Fang Xingjian!
"What did you do?"
How could the trio not realize by now that they had fallen into Fang Xingjian's trap? In fact, from the moment they had gotten their hands on the three divine swords, Fang Xingjian's illusory arts had slowly taken root in their hearts. Now that the illusory arts were activated, they instantly found a change to enter into Ulpian's heavenly river and the swords self-detonated.
Even Ulpian had been deceived by the illusory arts and could not make it in time to divert the effects of the divine swords' self-detonation from reaching the limits of the microscopic realm.
The moment they summoned all their powers and were about to charge into the self-detonation, Ulpian discovered that what he saw were the delayed effects from the illusions.
The heavenly river's Spatial Translocation ability was instantly activated, and the three Commanders were transmitted out. However, the powers from the three divine swords' explosions had already reached the pinnacle of the microscopic realm and could no longer be transmitted out.
The three divine swords—Thunder Calamity, Abyss, and Panwei—had depleted Fang Xingjian's countless heavenly and earthly treasures, Divine Equipment, and effort. Each of them possessed the power of a tier five Divine level expert. The powers of their self-detonation were comparable to having several hundred thousand nuclear missiles setting off.
Furthermore, in addition to there being three swords self-detonating within the heavenly river, the White Bone Longsword had also self-detonated on the outside.
The Celestial Eradication Sword Formation that the four swords formed was also appearing faintly in void space, slowly shattering and breaking up.
Fang Xingjian had also caused the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation to self-detonate.
The powers of the self-detonations vaporized the heavenly river crazily. Concurrently, a faint image of a world had appeared behind Fang Xingjian.
Celestial Eradication had collapsed, and Divine Country was being destroyed.
"Open up!"
With an explosive bellow, the Divine Country crumbled into dust in an instant. The space that was initially compressed swelled up crazily toward the heavenly river. The two outbursts of power from the inside and outside of the heavenly river seemed to instantly link up the interior and exterior of the heavenly river. At this moment, overwhelming silver waves upsurged, and countless silver rivers and oceans were vaporized.
