SSShhh!!
By the time the arc of flames disappeared, abruptly, a purple light shot forward. This purple light tore through the sky in a flash and traveled through space with enough power to cut down all the beings.
Wuusshhhh!
In the blink of an eye, within the boundary of hundreds of meters across, every creature felt an unbeatable ancient monstrous pressure. Within this moment, countless existences trembled.
“W-What’s happening?!” All the cultivators and intelligent magical beasts inside this boundary were shivering with fear from the depth of their souls! The weaker ones directly plopped down the ground, passing out from the sheer aura.
Originally they were startled by the huge explosion that directly blew up the mountains, but before they could move to check what was going on, a terrifying aura enveloped their bodies scaring them motionless.
Under this ancient breath, they all felt like they were insects and ants; they were not enough to reach the apex.
"I-Impossible!" the geezer's face revealed a look of extreme shock.
However, what he was about to witness next made him even more shocked.
The silhouette of a hazy black humanoid figure came into view.
Before the old man stood a figure unlike anything he had ever seen before. The imposing figure was clad in a deep purple, skin-tight monster scale full body armor that seemed to pulsate with an otherworldly energy. Thorns protruded from the top of its head, giving it an even more menacing appearance. The face was covered neatly behind a mask, showcasing only a pair of blood-red eyes that glowed with an intense inner fire.
As the geezer looked closer, he could see that many crack-like lines covered the figure's body, forming a stream of crimson red glow that seemed to pulse with an inner power. The lines looked like hairline cracks, as if a long stream of lava had flowed across the figure's body. Numerous tendril-like spikes also covered the figure's body, giving it an almost demonic appearance.
As the figure moved slightly, visible steams could be seen drifting in its surroundings, forming a white mist of minute water droplets in the air. The mist originated from the surge of blue lightning electric arcs that flashed every second, giving the figure an even more ominous presence.

The old guy felt a shiver run down his spine as he realized that he was facing a truly formidable opponent. This figure was not to be trifled with, and he knew that he would have to be at his absolute best if he had any hope of standing against it.
The geezer's body trembled at the presence of such a profound energy, feeling overwhelmed by its lingering aura.
Feeling this type of pressure, he strugglingly spoke, “Not good…” sensing this ancient celestial pressure, the old man were aghast.
"Not bad.." The young man finally spoke for the first time since their clash, he mused, "With that little strength you've got.. to be able to exert this much power from that weapon is quite admirable. Heh! " the man commended him amiably.
"About 5% I guess." he talked casually, one hand touching his own chin in a thoughtful manner.
A sinister grin appeared from behind the mask.
"Nova Blaze: Demolition!"
KROOOOOHH!
BOOM !
"You…" The geezer gripped the Heavenly Halberd tightly and, while trembling, rose up into the sky. When he successfully awakened his innate abilities, he already sensed the existence of a devil soul in the young man's body. In addition, during their hundreds of clashes in battle, ultimately, the young man attempted to attack the old guy's soul and destroy his consciousness completely. However, he managed to cope with the attack with utmost difficulty and forced the collision to come to a brief halt.
At this time, the young man opened his mouth and muttered casually to the geezer, "I initially wanted to erase your consciousness after taking possession of what is mine. It seems like I have to change my plans a little bit."
"– Hehehe, is that true?" the geezer laughed, extending his pale palm to the young man, Meanwhile, his other hand making a weird hand sign.
".."
”You really have to thank me. If I didn’t want you to stay alive, how could you survive to this day, especially back then at the Demon Sea. I gave you so many years of life, so today is the time to repay me for everything!" the young man extended his hand making a grabbing motion.
He pulled his hand toward him with force.
!!!?
"Ah, $hit.."
"This brat-,"
Buzzz! Buzz!
ZI zi zi !!
Suddenly, in Roy’s mind, something seemed to explode and a buzz was heard. His vision instantly went white and his eyes lost color, after which he, like a piece of wood, collapsed to the ground.
The old man looked down at the progressing event that transpired, then vanishing into thin air the next second.
His wounds were so severe that he didn't even dare to look at himself, especially his damaged soul and his dantian. The flickering of the aura of life was as faint as the glow of a firefly. Not only that, even now he fully realized that the severity of his physical wounds was not in the external damage, but in the fact that all of his internal organs were destroyed.
He was going to completely abandon the power of his soul origin that he had gathered for thousand of years and burn his life force, but luckily, the monster collapsed in the last second of their fight, giving him the chance to get out of the battleground as fast as possible.
Ultimately, the severity of the destruction was such that even if the Golden Deity of the Great Heavens descended from heaven, his wounds would not be healed. At least wouldn't be too quickly.
