"Kill!"
Mo Lao Wu roared, waving his hands. Instantly, demonic mist surged, and demonic energy took form. A colossal phantom of a demon king appeared, roaring to the heavens, its might dominating and overlooking the world.
The demon king wielded a battle spear, unleashing sky-piercing battle intent that swept across all directions.
The battle spear danced through the void, annihilating all things. Mountains collapsed, ancient trees toppled, the sea boiled, and all life was erased.
This was an unparalleled spear technique, terrifying beyond measure, enough to shatter the will of any trial-taker and slay them here.
The battle spear streaked through the air, ignoring space and distance as it pierced towards Li Xiaotian. This move was a divine ability comprehended by Mo Lao Wu, infused with his unique will and possessing infinite potential. Ordinary individuals could not withstand it.
"Boom!"
Li Xiaotian sneered repeatedly. The devouring power within him surged like a breached dike, inundating the surroundings. Wherever it passed, it nullified the fluctuations caused by Mo Lao Wu's battle spear.
The next moment, Mo Lao Wu moved, leaving the sea surface and charging towards Li Xiaotian.
He brandished his battle spear, swinging it with force, instantly plunging the world into darkness. It was as if the entire continent teetered on the brink of collapse.
His own strength was terrifying, and the location where they met was merely one of countless continents on the World Tree. Thus, this particular continent could not withstand the clash between the two.
"Boom!"
Li Xiaotian threw a punch, shattering the firmament and breaking the myriad stars. His power was immeasurably terrifying.
The continent trembled, seemingly on the verge of complete disintegration.
"Seal!"
The next moment, Mo Lao Wu let out a low cry. Demonic energy rippled across the entire continent, followed by miles of ice. Everything was instantly frozen, becoming a massive block of black ice. The entire continent was covered in frost, and Li Xiaotian was within it.
This caused many onlookers among the trial-takers to gasp in disbelief. Could it be that Li Xiaotian was outmatched?
"Boom!"
However, a moment later, a deafening roar shook the heavens and earth. The frozen black continent shattered, and boundless, brilliant radiance erupted. Li Xiaotian broke through the seal and emerged.
Mo Lao Wu grunted, his face instantly paling, his body staggering as he nearly fell to the ground.
Clearly, both had suffered in the previous collision, and neither could overcome the other.
"Your strength is indeed formidable!" Mo Lao Wu said seriously after a long silence. "You are far more powerful than I imagined."
"Heh, likewise," Li Xiaotian replied with a smile, his eyes narrowed.
"Then, let us continue," Mo Lao Wu stated, and the temperature in the surrounding space plummeted rapidly.
"Good!" Li Xiaotian agreed, his gaze sharp and unmatched, like the clanging of swords, sending tremors through the hearts of the spectators.
"Boom."
The next moment, they clashed once more, this time with even greater intensity. Every strike was a simple, brutal attack, carrying destructive energy that blasted through the void and shook the eight directions.
"Pfft!"
A spray of blood erupted. Mo Lao Wu's shoulder was gory, bearing a severe wound. His eyes flickered with cold light as he stared intently at Li Xiaotian.
At this moment, Li Xiaotian was completely unharmed, not a single scratch on him. It was evident that he was significantly stronger than Mo Lao Wu.
"Again!"
Mo Lao Wu took a deep breath, a look of madness appearing in his eyes. He charged forward again, his body streaking like a meteor, carrying an overwhelming aura of malevolence as he attacked Li Xiaotian.
Li Xiaotian, on the other hand, exuded dazzling golden light all over his body, as radiant as a sun god.
"Clang!"
A resonant clang echoed. His spear danced, sparks flying. Li Xiaotian wielded his fists, clashing with Mo Lao Wu. In an instant, they were once again locked in a stalemate.
A faint smile curved Li Xiaotian's lips. He took a sudden step forward, his foot striking the void and causing it to explode.
"Back off!" Mo Lao Wu roared, demonic clouds billowing to obscure the sky. Demonic energy transformed into endless sharp blades, slashing at Li Xiaotian's body.
"Clang, clang, clang." A series of metallic ringing sounds ensued, but Li Xiaotian remained unscathed. Instead, Mo Lao Wu was forced to retreat repeatedly, appearing quite dishevelled.
With a "swish," Li Xiaotian's body vanished. The next second, he was right in front of Mo Lao Wu.
"Scram!"
Mo Lao Wu roared, his entire body erupting with dark demonic flames. He flicked his arm, and streaks of demonic light flew out, enveloping Li Xiaotian, aiming to shatter the void.
Li Xiaotian, however, did not dodge. He charged directly into them. The sound of metal collision boomed, but Mo Lao Wu's attacks still failed to injure Li Xiaotian.
"Boom!"
The next moment, Li Xiaotian unleashed a punch. The fist wind was overbearing and potent, directly shattering the void and appearing before Mo Lao Wu.
"Bang!"
With a thunderous impact, Mo Lao Wu was sent flying backward. He even made footsteps on the void, and a mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth.
At this moment, his expression was exceedingly grim. Despite his deep unwillingness, he knew that he was no match for Li Xiaotian.
"Kill!" Mo Lao Wu shouted, raising his arm and swinging his battle spear downwards. A long dragon roared in the ninth heavens, shaking heaven and earth, as it charged towards Li Xiaotian once more.
He was unwilling, nor did he wish to flee. He could only continue fighting to the death.
After all, the situation between them was one of irreconcilable enmity. Since he had encountered Li Xiaotian, only one of them was destined to survive.
Of course, if he wished to escape, it was not impossible. But if he fled, his Dao heart would be flawed from then on, and he would never be able to advance further.
Such an outcome was more unbearable than his demise.
Li Xiaotian unleashed his full power, continuing to punch. A vast aura permeated the air, suppressing all heavens, domineering and peerless.
"Bang, bang, bang!!"
Their bodies clashed ferociously, creating booming sounds like myriad thunderclaps. The entire continent seemed on the verge of shattering at any moment, causing the observing trial-takers to tremble with fear and alarm.
Immediately after, Li Xiaotian stepped forward, his fist radiating unparalleled brilliance as he struck.
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, the void exploded. Mo Lao Wu's body slammed heavily into the sea, stirring up monstrous waves that remained turbulent for a long time.
"It's time to end this!"
Li Xiaotian snorted coldly, appearing on the sea surface in one step and unleashing another punch towards the spot where Mo Lao Wu had fallen.
"Boom!"
The entire continent vibrated. Mo Lao Wu struggled to counterattack, but his combat strength was simply inferior to Li Xiaotian's. In the end, the gap between them became increasingly apparent.
"Bastard!"
Mo Lao Wu roared, his voice filled with immense unwillingness.
But alas, as Li Xiaotian's punches rained down, his body continued to shatter. Even his battle spear was broken into pieces by Li Xiaotian.
"Boom!"
Finally, with another punch from Li Xiaotian, Mo Lao Wu's body exploded, leaving behind only an unwilling roar.
At this moment, heaven and earth fell silent. The observing trial-takers watched this scene in stunned silence, daring not to make a sound.
This battle had shaken their souls. Both combatants were beings they looked up to, yet in the end, Mo Lao Wu was powerfully slain by Li Xiaotian!
