"Boom, boom, boom..."
Star fragments exploded one after another in the void.
"Roar!"
A deafening roar echoed. In this instant, Shen Ming’s offensive intensified. A silver-white net of light enveloped the entire area. Every inch of space was filled with terrifying, boundless sharpness, as if even the void could be pierced.
On the other side, Mo Tian stood tall in the void, demonic energy surging, demonic clouds rolling, like a peerless demon king descending, striking fear into hearts.
"Rumble!"
Abruptly, Mo Tian extended a hand and easily grasped the silver-white light screen.
"Clang!"
The sound of metal striking metal rang out, and a ripple spread through the void, shaking the heavens and myriad worlds.
Following that, Mo Tian’s arm trembled, shattering the silver-white light screen. Then, his demonic fist struck down again, carrying the momentum of surging waves.
Shen Ming’s expression grew solemn. He raised his hands, fingers spread, transforming into a field of silver runes. These runes floated around him, forming short swords, each several feet long, like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, streaking towards Mo Tian.
"Boom!"
As the two met, an astonishing burst of light erupted instantly.
"Rumble!"
Mo Tian and Shen Ming retreated respectively. Each step they took crushed a patch of space, causing the void to collapse and debris to fly. Terrifying auras swept across hundreds of thousands of miles, shocking all the trial-takers.
Shen Ming's eyes showed solemnity. He knew Mo Tian was strong, but he never imagined the opponent's strength would be this formidable.
At this moment, Mo Tian stood in the void. The surrounding space had completely shattered. Demonic flames burned on his body, making him appear crystal clear, as if carved from crystal, possessing an ineffable, majestic aura that commanded admiration.
Now, Mo Tian stood with his arms crossed, a sneer curving his lips. He looked at Shen Ming indifferently, "Shen Ming, you are no match for me anymore!"
Upon hearing this, a flicker of anger flashed in Shen Ming’s eyes, which then narrowed as he coldly stated, "Third move!"
As the words fell, Shen Ming’s figure flickered, transforming into a blurred afterimage. He instantly surged forward, appearing before Mo Tian. He held a short dagger in his right hand, while his left hand struck down. Divine light surged, and laws intertwined.
This palm strike was incredibly domineering, aimed directly at Mo Tian’s head. Within his palm, a miniature silver sun seemed to be floating, blazing and terrifying.
"Buzz!"
Seeing this, Mo Tian’s expression turned serious. He understood that Shen Ming had been provoked by him.
He extended his right hand. A ball of hazy purple energy coiled around his fingertips, erupting with a brilliant demonic light.
The purple light surged tempestuously, illuminating half the sky. Wherever the demonic light passed, divine radiance boiled, and the terrifying power of the demonic great dao spewed forth, engulfing Shen Ming. An unimaginable demonic energy swept in all directions, causing everyone’s hearts to tremble.
Mo Tian’s physical body was terrifying. He struck out with a palm, directly smashing the void, and met Shen Ming’s attack. Horrifying demonic energy raged, like a dike bursting, surging and boundless.
It was evident that Shen Ming was truly angered this time. The silver sun in his hand erupted with blinding light, instantly illuminating the entire universe, and actually began to suppress the demonic energy on Mo Tian.
Seeing this, Mo Tian’s eyes flickered. He roared and counterattacked.
"I didn't want to use my full strength against you, but since you say I'm weak, I'll show you my true power now!" Shen Ming said coldly. Under the blinding light, Mo Tian was engulfed, and a muffled grunt was heard from Mo Tian.
"Bastard! Get lost!"
Mo Tian roared, and then a terrifying demonic might erupted from his body. Black mist permeated the air, and demonic figures materialized out of thin air, roaring ferociously, like a pack of ferocious beasts.
The moment those demonic figures appeared, they lunged madly at Shen Ming. The terrifying demonic might oppressed the heavens and myriad worlds; even the void could not withstand this terrifying pressure.
"Hmph! Disperse!"
Shen Ming snorted coldly. The light of the silver sun instantly transformed into sharp blades, tearing apart Mo Tian’s demonic figures.
"Crack!"
At this very moment, a deafening sound rang out. A fine crack rapidly spread from the area where the two were fighting, covering the void like a spiderweb. In the next instant, it burst open, revealing a dark vortex of void. An incredibly terrifying suction force emanated from it.
"Whoosh!"
The moment the void vortex appeared, both were stunned, and then they simultaneously retreated.
"Rumble..."
The void vortex spun wildly, emitting an endless devouring force. The void collapsed, and infinite turbulent flows splashed out, creating a scene of utter horror.
"He can't hold back any longer. Li Xiaotian!" Shen Ming’s expression turned grim as he muttered to himself.
Mo Tian remained silent. He stared at the void vortex ahead, his brows furrowing, his expression growing increasingly grim. He glanced at Shen Ming. His exchange with Shen Ming was just a sparring match; after three moves, Shen Ming would leave.
However, if Li Xiaotian intervened, it would truly be a fight to the death.
Moreover, in the current situation, Shen Ming would definitely not be willing to help him fend off Li Xiaotian.
"Boom!"
Without a word, a beam of black light shot out from the void vortex. It devoured everything. The moment anything approached it, it distorted and was completely annihilated.
"So strong. As expected, he has also touched the threshold of the higher ranks!" Mo Tian’s heart tightened. He felt that the black beam was filled with extreme destructive intent, making it terrifying.
"Buzz!"
The black light was incredibly fast, and in an instant, it streaked towards Mo Tian.
