Lu Ziming was terrified. Just standing in the Avici Hell, he felt waves of extreme negative emotions and eerie incantations constantly assaulting him. Terrifying black flames were constantly scorching his spirit, and the entire hell was filled with an omnipresent sense of being devoured, continuously eroding his spirituality.
A faint, real pain emanated from my skin and internal organs.
Before the battle even began, he was already covered in negative buffs.
What terrified him most was that he was a fifth-tier cultivator! Even with the protection of the Light of the Mind, he could still suffer so many negative status effects. If a fourth-tier cultivator came here, they would probably die just by standing there.
"You are the first person to witness my domain. As a reward, I will let you experience all the punishments of the Avici Hell," Fang Xiu sneered.
He was very satisfied with his domain, not only because Avici Hell could torment his enemies and bring him pleasure, but also because Avici Hell was truly powerful.
The power of the Avici Hell is the culmination of everything he possesses. Here, black flames burn constantly, the incessant murmurs of eerie gods echo in his ears, the impact of negative emotions hidden deep within his heart, and the omnipresent devouring power of the gluttonous beast, among other things...
In other words, Lu Ziming is a fifth-level Spirit Master with the protection of the Light of the Mind. If it were an ordinary fourth-level Spirit Master, he wouldn't even be qualified to stand in the Avici Hell.
Lu Ziming suppressed his fear. He knew he had no way out and had to fight to the death.
"Fang Xiu! No matter how strong your domain is, it can't stop me from taking your heart!"
boom!
He soared into the sky, raising his longsword high. Visible streams of sword energy converged from all directions, forming a massive sword energy storm centered on the sword.
However, before he could strike, endless black flames rose up from hell, rushing towards him like a raging sea of fire.
The void around him suddenly cracked open, revealing one black hole after another, like the mouths of a gluttonous beast, bursting forth with unparalleled and terrifying devouring power, frantically tearing at the light of his soul.
The eerie murmurs grew increasingly dense, like sonic attacks, assaulting Lu Ziming's mind wave after wave.
Lu Ziming's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, his mind became agitated, and even the speed of his strike slowed down.
But a fifth-order rank is still a fifth-order rank.
"Wind Sword Stance!"
With a roar, a terrifying storm of sword blades unleashed, tearing through the black fire and black hole with overwhelming force.
The power of this sword gave him confidence. He realized that although Fang Xiu's domain was strange, it was ultimately only at the fourth level. He might be invincible among those of the same level, but he was still a bit lacking when facing those of the fifth level.
Just as he was about to press his advantage, a silver noose woven from millions of silver strands of hair coiled around him like a venomous snake.
Lu Ziming's face turned sinister. He swung his long sword upwards, as if lifting a long river of sword energy. The fierce sword energy rose from the sky like a fountain, instantly tearing the silver hanging rope to shreds.
"Fang Xiu, bring on whatever other tricks you have up your sleeve!" Lu Ziming sneered. Having broken through two of Fang Xiu's moves in succession, his confidence soared, and he regained the self-assurance befitting a fifth-tier expert.
"Hehehe... Don't rush to your death, let me experiment slowly." Fang Xiu's sinister laughter rang out, completely unconcerned that his move had been broken.
He never actually used it, but instead experimented with the abilities of the Avici Hell.
Lu Ziming's expression suddenly turned cold. "Use my abilities for experimentation? I'll kill you!"
"Fire Sword Stance!"
He unleashed tens of thousands of sword lights without regard for their cost. These sword lights were like thousands of streams of fire churning and intertwining in the void, dazzling and radiant, with the power to burn the entire world.
In the past, Lu Ziming would never have dared to waste spiritual energy like this, since consuming too much spiritual energy in a burial ground meant he would be unable to make money and would be committing slow suicide.
But this time is different. This is the final battle. As long as he defeats Fang Xiu and takes the heart, he can leave the burial ground.
"Interesting." Fang Xiu sneered and gently waved his hand. The river of water in the Avici Hell, which resembled the River of Oblivion, began to surge, instantly creating a monstrous wave that swept fiercely towards Lu Ziming.
If you look closely, you'll find that the lake is filled with countless corpses.
It's the projection of the Corpse Lake!
The Avici Hell merges all of Fang Xiu's abilities, integrating them into one, and then unleashing unimaginable power. Therefore, the manifestation of pain is naturally included in it.
At this moment, the power of the Corpse Lake far surpassed that before. With the blessing of the Avici Hell, it had already begun to resemble the true Corpse Lake.
The fiery sword aura was instantly suppressed, seemingly about to be extinguished on the spot. Lu Ziming remained silent, slashing with his longsword repeatedly, and the flames soared into the sky once more.
boom!
A powerful sword clang and the piercing roars of the corpses in the lake of corpses rang out together, and in the end, both were annihilated.
But Lu Ziming's figure vanished instantly. He no longer intended to delay any longer and wanted to obtain the heart as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications.
Bathed in the light of the sword, his figure appeared before Fang Xiu as if by teleportation, his right hand wielding the sword to slash at Fang Xiu's neck, while his left hand formed a claw and aimed straight for Fang Xiu's heart.
However, faced with this fierce attack, Fang Xiu neither dodged nor evaded, allowing the opponent to attack.
The next moment, a shocking scene unfolded. The instant Lu Ziming touched Fang Xiu, bang!
With a soft sound, Fang Xiu's figure vanished into thin air, like a bubble or phantom, disappearing into the world.
Lu Ziming's face instantly turned extremely ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Illusion!"
“Indeed, the moment you saw the blood moon, you were already under my illusion.” A hundred meters away, Fang Xiu’s figure appeared out of thin air, a combination of his Blood Eye and Nightmare abilities.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ziming transformed into a sword light once again, covering a hundred meters in an instant, and pierced through Fang Xiu's body.
Bang!
Fang Xiu's figure shattered again and slowly dissipated.
"Useless struggle." Thousands of voices rang out at the same time. From the depths of the Avici Hell, thousands of identical Fang Xiu emerged simultaneously. Their figures, expressions, and even movements and auras were completely identical.
"Damn it!" Lu Ziming's eyes were bloodshot. If this continued, he wouldn't even be able to find the other party's true form, and he would eventually die from exhaustion of his spiritual energy.
Like a wild beast enraged, he unleashed his ultimate attack recklessly: "Since I can't tell which one is the real body, I'll kill them all!"
Thunder Sword Stance!!
