Chapter 1228: Chapter 427: Arrival at the Seventh Layer of Heaven, New Enemies!_3
But, it’s enough!
The Sword Qi Barrier dissipated most of the force from this strike.
Su Xing quickly reacted, his figure retreating violently through the air, adjusting his breathing as he leveraged his physical body to cleverly deflect the residual impact of the attack.
In this way, Su Xing dangerously yet safely blocked the sneak attack.
After putting so distance between himself and the Shadow Deity, Su Xing let out a breath of relief.
It was only at this mont that Su Xing finally got a clear look at the appearance of the assailant.
This Shadow Deity stood barely one ter tall, almost like a condensed shadow.
Its entire body was covered in sharp, dark-red spikes; its pitch-black skin blended seamlessly with the shade of the trees, camouflaging it perfectly.
Its three-inch-long claws were so sturdy that they rivaled Innate Treasures in durability!
Lean and wiry muscles packed with shocking strength were concealed within its small fra.
“The stronger the Shadow Tribe grows, the more humanoid their forms beco?”
“Even their heights shrink… sowhat similar to the water monkeys of legends?”
Su Xing slightly furrowed his brow.
The evolutionary degree of this Shadow Deity was clearly far more nightmarish than the one Su Xing had slain earlier on the battlefield.
Judging from that earlier assassination strike alone, Su Xing had no doubt that even a Golden Immortal Peak cultivator would have died on the spot!
Even top-ranked fighters on the Earth List could be gravely injured if they weren’t cautious enough!
“Quite the tricky opponent indeed! Fortunately… my Dao of Space has stepped into the Sixth Realm!”
Su Xing internally sighed in relief, choosing not to act rashly. Instead, he locked his gaze and aura onto the Shadow Deity before him.
If he exposed any vulnerabilities, the Shadow Deity might imdiately launch another round of assassination strikes!
At this mont, the Shadow Deity before Su Xing also revealed a hint of surprise in its eyes.
“Human, how did you sense my presence?”
Standing dozens of ters away, the half-human-tall Shadow Deity did not imdiately strike this ti. Instead, it scrutinized Su Xing with curious interest.
“That gaze… I’ve seen it many tis before…”
Su Xing whispered inwardly.
Every powerful entity he had simulated and confronted in the past always looked at Su Xing with this mocking gaze.
But now, all of them had been crushed under Su Xing’s feet, one by one!
“You won’t be an exception either!”
Su Xing did not respond with words, choosing instead to act directly.
Spirit Realm unfolded in an instant, enveloping the surrounding area spanning tens of thousands of miles.
Just as quickly, the Spirit Realm contracted at an astounding speed, finally restricting itself to a circumference of one hundred miles.
Within a confined range, the sa cultivation level of Spirit Realm exerted an exponentially greater effect!
A hundred miles, that was enough!
In the next mont, Su Xing used the power of space to seal off all spatial movents within this range!
Feeling the spatial fluctuations around him, the Shadow Deity’s expression subtly changed.
It could sense that its ability to freely enter the Shadow Realm was being restricted.
At the very least, it could no longer seamlessly traverse between dinsions as before!
“Ah, I see… it seems your mastery of space is not too shabby…”
“Heh, but a lower race will ultimately fall by my hands… soone like you? I’ve killed at least ten of your kind already!”
The Shadow Deity narrowed its eyes, staring at Su Xing as if seeing the most delectable prey.
What answered it was Su Xing’s Five Elents Immortal Burst Technique!
Extrely compressed immortal power blood in Su Xing’s palm like a brilliant flower, silently appearing behind the Shadow Deity!
This was the Five Elents Immortal Burst Technique paired with the Dao of Space!
A combat technique born from Su Xing’s mastery of the Sixth Realm of the Dao of Space!
With astonishing spatial control, the Five Elents Immortal Burst Technique was able to manifest in any location within the Spirit Realm at will.
In actual battle, this yielded unexpectedly devastating results!
In the next instant, the Five Elents Immortal Burst Technique erupted behind the Shadow Deity.
The overwhelming power fractured the entire spatial area.
Within a thousand-mile radius, mountains crumbled as if the apocalypse had descended.
“Impressive, the Upper Realm… the space here is far more stable than the Three Thousand Worlds…”
Su Xing felt both astonished and intrigued.
The power of this Five Elents Immortal Burst Technique was sufficient to annihilate an entire Minor Thousand Worlds.
Yet here, in the Seventh Layer of Heaven, its impact was limited to just a thousand-mile radius.
This demonstrated the exceptional sturdiness of spatial structures within this realm, far beyond the Lower Realm’s capabilities.
Huge clouds of dust billowed, ascending to the heights of ten thousand ters.
Su Xing held confidence that even a Golden Immortal Peak powerhouse caught off guard by such an attack would suffer grievous injuries!
However, before the smoke cleared, Su Xing’s expression turned grim.
In his perception, the life force of the Shadow Deity hadn’t diminished in the slightest!
“I see… although it can’t fully utilize the Shadow Realm… it can partially ‘phase’ itself, half-subrging into the Shadow Realm to evade damage?”
Su Xing squinted his eyes to see a half-transparent figure amidst the lingering smoke.
“Remarkable… No wonder the Shadow Clan ranks among the Ten Great Emperor Clans. Their reliance is far from being limited to re shadow traversal…”
“But, let’s see if you can withstand this!”
Su Xing’s resolve hardened, his Sword Intent bursting forth in an explosive surge.
With a flash of silver light, a strike pierced through space, aid squarely at the Shadow Deity’s throat!
Void Sword!
Su Xing’s swordsmanship Divine Skill infused with the power of space!
This sword ignored all forms of evasion, whether partial phasing or hiding in the Shadow Realm—it sought out and struck true!
Yet, Su Xing underestimated the Shadow Deity’s strength.
Its black claws swiftly shielded its vital points.
The air reverberated with a clash of tal.
In the next mont, a faint white mark appeared on the black claws.
Su Xing’s Void Sword had been neutralized.
“So, you’re a Sword Cultivator?”
“Unfortunately, your swordsmanship appears sowhat lacking! This strike… while precise in aim, lacked sufficient power.”
The Shadow Deity spoke coldly, its mocking gaze once again firmly fixed on Su Xing.
Su Xing’s brow furrowed lightly upon hearing this.
“A pity… my Great Sword Dao has yet to step into the Sixth Realm… otherwise, this sword would have killed you!”
Su Xing candidly admitted his regret.
Leveraging his Dao of Space, Su Xing’s Void Sword had struck true on the Shadow Deity.
But the power of his Sword Dao, still at the Fifth Realm, wasn’t enough. The strike was deflected by the Shadow Deity’s claws, which rivaled Innate Treasures in strength.
Thus, the initial exchanges between the two ca to a pause.
In terms of the Dao of Space, Su Xing might not surpass the Shadow Deity.
However, Su Xing triumphed in versatility, possessing an arsenal of Divine Skills that allowed him to contend evenly with the Shadow Deity for the ti being.
anwhile, the Shadow Deity relied on its pair of formidable black claws and a physical constitution that rivaled Body Cultivation experts at the Golden Immortal Peak level, engaging Su Xing in close-quarters lee combat.
The two clashed for hundreds of rounds in rapid succession.
Seeing that it had failed to subdue Su Xing after so many exchanges, the Shadow Deity’s sneering expression also gradually faded.
Then, the Shadow Deity uttered a sentence that caught Su Xing completely off guard:
“Human, your strength is impressive… would you be interested in becoming my vassal?”
