Heavin allowed Fura to co together with them basically because she gave up too quickly. She didn't try to insist or anything like that. That's why he thought it was worth a shot. Although they would keep their guards up against the old woman, they were willing to trust her to so extent as well. Besides, it's not like extra help was a bad thing.
While Heavin and Krune's groups made their way to the Core Region, Lani was in a heated battle against Taxin.
*Boom!*
Another wave of energy ca between the two as weaponized energy ca out of their weapons. Since there was Sword Intent and Sword Heart, then there was surely Staff Intent and Heart. Of course, Taxin had already surpassed the Sword Heart level and entered a new realm where it wasn't recognizable in the Mortal Realm. Nevertheless, Lani's Staff Heart helped a lot even though it was weaker by one realm.
"Great stuff! Now, let's see how you will deal with this, Lani!"
As soon as Taxin said that, Lani felt a chill on his back. The world around him didn't change at all. However, he could tell with his ntal Energy that a powerful threat had just appeared.
"Myriad Swords Domain!"
Sure enough, it was a sword-related domain. Because it also used the Sword Assimilation Level, the domain seed to be invisible to both eye and Divine Sense.
Lani wasn't any slower, though.
Different from Taxin, his Laws were still within the Realm of this plane. That being said, it imdiately turned visible to everyone—the world alone Lani beca colorful, pretty similar to Krune's domain. As an Elent Divine Soul Owner, Lani obviously specialized in the five primary elents.
However, the colorful domain only stayed like that for a second. Not long after, the colors began to mix until they turned pitch black!
"Elents Regulation Domain!"
Sure enough, Lani reached a level where he could also fuse his Elental Domains together. Lani had comprehended all the five primary elents and laws a long ti ago. rging them was no problem either. Naturally, his domain benefited from that.
Both Taxin and Lani's domain clashed against each other. Several severing slashes appeared in Lani's domain nonstop. At the sa ti, Lani could tell that his domain was weakening Tixan's at a similar level with his ntal Energy.
As the two domains clashed, the fabric of space shattered everywhere. The Mortal Realm space couldn't withstand the power of common Divinity Realm cultivators and demon beasts, let alone Lani and Tixan's powers. It looked like even the space laws themselves were being affected by their domains.
"The All Sword!"
Taxin flashed in Lani's direction as his body shone with Spiritual Energy. Every movent of his hands and legs, even his fingers and toes, were followed by peak level Sword Laws.
"Myriad Staff Refractions!"
Lani also didn't stay still and headed directly for Taxin. Taxin was far above Lani in weapon realm comprehension, but Lani had all the perks from Krune, Heavin, and his own Elents Regulation Technique to make up for it.
*Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!*
All of a sudden, Lani's body was slashed in half. However, it disappeared right after as Taxin's head was smashed by a staff. Unfortunately, that was also an afterimage.
"Real World Severing!"
Taxin's body burst with the power of Sword Assimilation as even space itself beca part of his swords.
Lani was taken aback by that attack, forcing him to stop his attack. His staff left thousands of afterimages as his body rotated several tis. Black energy ca out of it, which increased the countering potential of his attack. All of that happened in just a fraction of a second, but it was still a little bit slow as several cuts appeared on Lani's body.
Lani imdiately controlled his Spiritual, Elental, and ntal Energies to head towards those places. They then imdiately destroyed the rampaging Sword Assimilation energy that tried to enter his body. However, it wasn't over. Taxin used that mont to attack Lani, not giving him ti to prepare.
"Extre Piercing!"
Although it sounded like an attack made for a spear, it was true that swords can also pierce. Piercing was a very sword-like law.
Taxin's hand moved at incredible speeds, aiming for an unprotected area on Lani's body.
However, Lani wasn't an idiot. He knew that his opponents definitely wouldn't let the opportunity slip.
Out of nowhere, the Fused Elents on Lani's staff intensified as his staff speed increased even more! Just as Taxin's Extre Piercing was about to hit Lani's body, Lani's staff appeared right in front of it. It didn't only defend but aid to counterattack as well.
"Mountain's Descent!"
Earth Elent took priority in Lani's Fused Five Elents as his staff increased several tis in power. Lani was literally trying to make Taxin lose his arm in this attack.
*Bang!*
Soon, hand and staff hit each other. However, things didn't go as both sides had expected. Lani's staff failed to injure Taxin's hand while Taxin's attack was unable to leave even a mark on Lani's Staff.
Both Taxin and Lani's bodies were then pushed away by the massive shockwave from their Spiritual Energy and Laws. Space several kiloters around them broke apart as spatial storms appeared everywhere. However, both Lani and Taxin didn't care about the environnt. The two didn't believe that their attacks failed to cause any change.
Taxin then looked at Lani's staff before asking.
"What kind of weapon is that? Even a Peak Divinity Realm Equipnt wouldn't be unscathed after receiving my Extre Piercing attack."
Obviously, that was Krune's Purple Fla Staff. Although Krune had made it to be at the Peak Divinity Stars level, he had used a few of the Godly Path Realm materials to forge it. Naturally, it was several tis more resistant when compared to weapons made with materials of the Mortal Realm. Not to ntion that the Purple Fla Effect increased its power even more.
Lani looked at the staff on his hand before smiling.
"This was a gift from my grand disciple. It seems like he put a lot of effort in forging this."
Lani then looked back at Taxin's Hand that didn't have any damage.
"Still, how co your hand is fine? I swear I used enough power to blast it apart."
Tixan also answered Lani's question.
"I focused the entire power of Sword Assimilation in my hand during that attack. If you had aid for so other part of my body, I would have been severely injured. Well, if you really did that, then you would have no heart anymore."
Lani knew that Taxin wasn't kidding. That attack really aid directly at his heart, and his Spiritual Energy Barrier definitely wouldn't have been able to block it. Fortunately, he had Krune's new staff.
After saying that, Taxin began to ponder a bit.
"Hmm... I didn't want to use that in the Mortal Realm anymore. Still, I didn't expect to find soone like you here. What to do, what to do..."
Lani narrowed his eyes.
"It seems like I'm not worth enough for you to show it. Well, why don't you leave then? You are not from here, right? Just leave this trade route that has nothing to do with you for our Luvile Universe."
Taxin then looked at Lani and shook his head.
"No. You are definitely worthy of it. Sorry, it seems like I've said sothing stupid. It's just that I also didn't want to finish it this quickly. However, we are not going anywhere now that even my Extre Piercing has failed to break through your defense."
Suddenly, Taxin touched his Spatial Ring. Not long after, an old sword appeared in his hand.
However, Lani narrowed his eyes when he saw that. His Divine Sense and ntal Energy told him that that thing was nothing more than a simple ordinary sword. Let alone rare materials, it looked more like it was made with low-quality iron and nothing else.
However, at the very mont that sword was grasped by Taxin, his aura had completely changed! Tixan was already the most dangerous person Lani had ever t, but his level of threat had just increased several tis.
"What is this sword? How can it make you change this much."
Taxin then gently stroked that sword as a sincere smile appeared on his face.
"There is nothing worth paying attention to it. This is a simple sword used by a naless kid from a rural area off a planet that almost no one knows. That kid's father had quite so difficulty paying for it. Still, it was the kid's birthday, so he wanted to give him a surprise. Since then, this Sword has never left that kid's side. See? It's pretty useless, isn't it? The quality is poor, the handle is terrible, the sharpness is a laughingstock. To be honest, I believe that that father was fooled to pay way more than it was worth. Truly, a piece of scrap tal."
Lani didn't need to think too much to understand that the kid in the story was Taxin himself.
"Although you say that, it doesn't seem like your heart agrees with it."
Taxin laughed.
"Hahaha! Indeed. In the eyes of anyone else, this is nothing more than trash. However, this is my most precious treasure. Sothing as important as my life."
Tixan raised his sword. As he did that, it looked as if the whole universe was at the rcy of his blade. What looked like scrap tal a mont ago now looked like a divine existence.
"Lani, it was fun."
Lani bitterly smiled as he dropped his staff.
"I'm not like you. I prefer a calm life and only do battle if truly necessary. However, it seems like this is one of those necessary monts.
*Kabrummm!*
Suddenly, arcs of Purple Lightning began to run around Lani's body. Together with that, his combat power also increased. That's the reason Luvile told Krune that he didn't need to worry. That's because Lani was just like Ula, soone who had acquired his Purple Lightning Source in the past as well.
