The Green Serpent Demon looked astonished.
The Shrine skill was one of his ultimate moves, yet the Sword God had broken it.
He felt a sense of dread, his mind filled with distractions. He never had a guaranteed victory to begin with, and now he hesitated even more.
He was different from the Sword God. The Sword God was devoted to the way of the sword, focused on a single path;
Whereas he dabbled in many paths, understanding a bit of everything. His combat style was diverse and unpredictable, making him hard to defend against.
If the Sword God was a man of singular devotion, he was a philanderer. They were different, and naturally, their mindsets differed.
The Sword God could die for a belief, but he couldn't.
However, he wasn't afraid; he still had other trump cards.
In contrast, the Sword God's complexion had become a bit paler.
He had already fought against the giant claw of a god before, sustaining injuries. Then, he had forcefully destroyed the spatial passage to the beast world, injuring himself again. While fighting the Golden Armored God, he had coughed up heartblood, injuring himself a third time.
The accumulation of these three injuries meant he was no longer in his prime.
The Sword God gripped his sword, pointing it at the Green Serpent Demon, and said, "It's my turn next!"
Hearing this, the Green Serpent Demon's heart tensed, and he quickly retreated a few steps.
The Sword God gripped his sword, communicating with his sword energy, releasing a new skill.
The Green Serpent Demon was not to be outdone and also gathered a new skill.
Suddenly, powerful auras emanated from both of them, causing the surrounding winds and clouds to surge, the air to distort, and an oppressive pressure that made it hard to breathe.
Just then, a loud shout suddenly came from afar: "Hahaha, it's finally successful!"
Both the Green Serpent Demon and the Sword God heard the voice and looked with some confusion, diverting a sliver of their attention.
They saw a young man standing a hundred miles away on a strange diagram, communicating with something.
Suddenly, a streak of light flashed across the sky.
Then, several large characters fell upon the young man.
They looked, and upon seeing the characters clearly, they were speechless.
'Good quality flesh, keep up the effort!'
'Granting you the Aura of Life! All allies within your mental energy coverage range will receive an effect of increased life recovery speed.'
The next moment!
Centered on the young man, an area of a hundred miles was enveloped by a strange aura of life.
As soon as this light appeared, people felt a change within themselves.
Especially the wounded, who felt it most clearly.
Their injuries were slowly mending.
Even the Sword God was surprised, for he had sustained injuries in his previous battles and had merely suppressed them.
But under the effect of this power, his injuries were slowly recovering, and at this rate, he would be healed in a day.
He exclaimed, "This is also a mysterious type of skill!"
Only mysterious type skills could have such miraculous effects, as these skills often defied logic and couldn't be explained by common sense.
The Green Serpent Demon, however, looked bewildered. He felt nothing.
At this moment, the Sword God moved.
A golden sword energy suddenly appeared beside him.
This sword energy rapidly expanded, becoming as large as a mountain and piercing into the clouds.
"Sacred Sword!"
With a loud shout, the clouds dispersed!
Everyone instinctively looked up at the sky and saw that all the clouds had vanished, revealing the blue sky.
A golden sword descended from an altitude of ten thousand meters.
"Go!"
Rumbling!!!
The golden Sacred Sword fell, its sharp sword energy leaving black cracks in space.
Sunlight shone directly down, reflecting off the golden sword light, creating a dazzling glare.
For a moment, heaven and earth were bathed in gold, as if adorned in gilded armor.
This scene was solemn and sacred, yet filled with a murderous aura.
"This is a skill bestowed by that Golden Armored God. I cannot unleash its full power, but it's enough to slay you!"
His current injuries were gradually recovering under the Aura of Life, regaining a portion of his strength every second.
Although the Green Serpent Demon before him was strong, he was not insurmountable.
He was confident that he could kill the Green Serpent Demon, a belief befitting a sword cultivator.
The Green Serpent Demon stared at the colossal golden sword, his heart sinking.
"Damn Golden Armored God!"
He gritted his teeth and cursed. In his opinion, the Golden Armored God was already dead, yet he was still causing trouble for him. How annoying.
He dared not underestimate it, for this was a god's skill. Even if a demigod couldn't unleash its full power, even a fraction of it would be enough for him to handle.
"Come!" the Green Serpent Demon roared!
The next moment, the surrounding space rippled, and a spatial vortex appeared before him.
He reached into it, fumbled for a moment, and drew out a slender saber.
*Clang!*
As the saber was drawn from its sheath, frost emanated from its blade, causing frost to form on the surrounding air.
He muttered incantations, and black characters flew from his mouth, attaching themselves to the saber, making it increasingly sharp.
Suddenly, he raised the saber and looked up at the descending golden Sacred Sword.
The Sacred Sword was too solemn and majestic, making one feel as if facing divine might, unable to resist.
However, the saber in his hand was not weak.
"Word Spirit Curse: Frost Slash!"
"Kill!"
He raised the saber and charged forward, layers of frost beginning to emerge from his body as he moved.
He looked like a god enveloped in frost.
Seeing this, the onlookers around them exclaimed in amazement.
The situation had developed to this point, something none of them had anticipated.
"Who do you think will win?"
"It must be Lord Sword God. Although we haven't seen Lord Sword God in close combat, he shouldn't be weak."
"Even the Shrine couldn't deal with Lord Sword God, so this Green Serpent Demon should have no way out."
"Exactly, going to fight Lord Sword God with a demigod artifact?"
"Look, he's charging!"
"The Sacred Sword will strike him!"
"........"
Everyone watched this scene, not just them, but all beings in front of the screens were also watching.
If humanity won, from then on, humanity could proudly declare their ascension to the peak of Blue Star races.
Excluding those alien forces, among the native powers of Blue Star, they would be one of the strongest.
At this time.
Lin Yu completed the sacrifice, but he was not satisfied at all.
After all his effort, he only got a life aura.
He was a clone talent user, and he didn't fight on the front lines, so this aura was of no use to him.
However, it was better than nothing, so he had to accept it grudgingly.
He glanced at the battlefield, where the Sword God was controlling the golden Sacred Sword and fighting the Green Serpent Demon.
For now, no winner could be determined.
Lin Yu looked to another side.
The Sea God's Scepter was suppressing the Red Sheep Demon, and the Divine Bird had subdued the Black Lizard Demon.
Another merged clone was watching the show leisurely.
Lin Yu's face darkened.
He hadn't given the order to attack, but this merged clone was too passive. Why didn't it go to help?
Did it really mean that if others didn't attack you, you wouldn't attack them?
"Forget it, I'll control it myself."
"Consciousness Possession!"
