Thick black mist even permeated the gaps.
It seems that inside is another world, completely different from this human world.
Is this the void?
Does it really exist?
If it exists, what kind of world is within the void?
Who would know?
Nobody knows!
In an instant, the black energy within the void spun rapidly, like a bottomless black hole, sucking the entire arena into the abyss of the void.
With a mournful roar, Dugu Jian's primordial spirit transformed into a stream of light and was sucked into the void.
Even some spectators closest to the arena were sucked into the gaps by the powerful force in the void and disappeared completely.
At this moment, Li Yao was completely exhausted.
He used this move, "Love That Shakes the City," which had already consumed eighty percent of his internal energy.
Instantly, he felt a powerful suction force pulling him towards the bottomless void.
He was terrified and used the last 20% of his inner strength to resist the suction force and escape.
Finally, with a deafening roar, the void closed up, the gap disappeared, and the powerful suction dissipated.
Li Yao lay on the ground, utterly exhausted, still shaken.
Today, he almost died along with Zhao!
As expected, this alluring love cannot be used lightly.
That's absolutely terrifying!
He himself almost got caught up in it.
However, he had no choice but to resort to this tactic today.
Faced with the 'Sword Twenty-Two' which can freeze space, perhaps only the 'Love of the Fallen City' which can shatter the void can break it.
His internal energy was exhausted.
Li Yao immediately sat cross-legged and began circulating the Great Dao Scripture to restore his true energy.
This was the second time he had exhausted his internal energy.
This shows that the world of Fengyun is far more dangerous than he imagined.
Just before Dugu Jian's primordial spirit was sucked into the void, Dugu Ming, Dugu Meng, and Shi Wuzun, who were five miles away, were surrounding Dugu Jian's physical body and calling out to him incessantly.
Unbeknownst to them, Dugu Jian's primordial spirit had already reached the arena five miles away and was fighting Li Yao.
When Dugu Jian's primordial spirit was sucked into the void, his physical body immediately lost its vitality and collapsed with a thud.
Another swordsman has fallen!
Li Yao is practically the terminator of sword saints. In the world of A Step into the Past, even the sword saint Cao Qiudao was brought down from his pedestal by him.
"Uncle, uncle..."
Dugu Ming and Dugu Meng pushed Dugu Jian's body, crying out in grief.
They never imagined that their uncle would die on his way to battle before he even had a chance to fight Li Yao.
Of course, they were unaware that Dugu Jian had already fought a major battle with Li Yao.
The Great Dao Scripture is indeed powerful!
In no time at all, Li Yao had fully recovered his true energy.
Once his inner energy was restored, Li Yao stood up and surveyed the arena.
The scene was horrific; the makeshift arena had been reduced to ashes.
On the ground lay many mangled corpses, their blood staining the entire land red.
Some of these corpses belonged to people from Wushuang City, while others were martial arts practitioners who came to visit.
Originally, Li Yao had taken some precautions, building the arena to be very large to avoid collateral damage.
He just didn't expect that Dugu Jian would actually comprehend Sword Twenty-Three.
Therefore, he had no choice but to use the Alluring Love technique to break through Sword Twenty-Three.
Although he had tried his best to control his internal energy output, greatly reducing the power of the Alluring Love.
However, the Love That Shattered the City still produced unimaginable power, sucking those who approached the arena into the void.
This kind of martial art should never exist in this world.
Its destructive power is simply astonishing.
Fortunately, he had anticipated this and did his best to control the power of the love that could topple cities.
Therefore, most of the people present were not drawn into the void.
However, today's battle not only broadened their horizons, but also left an indelible shadow in their hearts.
When Li Yao cleaved through the void, the immense suction force generated by the void made them feel as if they were on the verge of death.
That feeling was terrifying and unforgettable.
For a long time afterward, they were plagued by nightmares every night and could not get rid of them.
Luck +35!
Divine Soul +26!
...
Holy Spirit Sword Technique *1!
...
Li Yao gained quite a few attribute orbs this time, because the martial arts heroes watching the battle were all more or less affected by 'Love That Shakes the City'.
Therefore, they all basically dropped attribute orbs.
Of course, Li Yao also obtained the 'Holy Spirit Sword Technique' from Dugu Jian.
By consuming Luck Points, he upgraded the Holy Spirit Sword Technique to the highest level, and at the same time, he also comprehended Sword Twenty-Three.
After some reflection, he finally understood the sword intent of Sword Twenty-Three completely.
When practicing Sword Twenty-Three, an invisible space of sword energy will form around the practitioner's body.
It contains all the moves of the Holy Spirit Sword Technique.
Starting from the twenty-third move, the Holy Spirit Sword Technique shifts to controlling the sword with the mind and the spirit.
Moreover, Sword Twenty-Three can only be used in a state that is neither alive nor dead, that is, when the primordial spirit is separated from the body.
Only in this way can the powerful force of pausing time and space be generated, and can it cause substantial damage to people within the sword energy space.
When time and space are frozen, not only is everyone unable to defend themselves, but all attacks from the mortal realm are also ineffective against this primordial spirit.
In modern terms, this is called: immunity to physical attacks.
Because the primordial spirit is not a physical entity, even the most powerful martial arts are useless against it.
Therefore, in the original work, although Xiong Ba's Three-Point Divine Finger pierced through the Sword Saint's primordial spirit, it could not harm the Sword Saint's primordial spirit.
This shows that Sword Twenty-Three's moves are almost flawless.
The only weakness is the physical body.
The primordial spirit can leave the body, but the physical body is the foundation of the primordial spirit.
If the skin is gone, where will the hair attach?
Once the physical body loses its vitality, the primordial spirit dissipates.
However, for Li Yao, the Love of the City is also a major nemesis of Sword Twenty-Three.
Your Sword Twenty-Three can pause space, right? My Alluring Love directly shatters the void. Let's see how you pause it then.
Chapter 228 Demons and Monsters, the Twelve Fiends of Tianchi
Just as Li Yao sat cross-legged on the ground, closing his eyes to comprehend the twenty-third sword technique.
Suddenly, his mind stirred slightly.
Then, a cheerful, innocent laugh rang out: "Giggle..."
The laughter sounded like that of a child, innocent and pure, just like the joyful laughter of children chasing and playing in the fields.
Meanwhile, the sound of rattles echoed throughout the air.
Laughter and the sound of rattles intertwined, creating a sound that lingered in the mind.
This sound evokes longing, a longing for the carefree days of childhood.
The sound was intoxicating, a reverie of a carefree childhood.
There was no anger.
No worries.
There was no sorrow.
There was no sadness.
There was no fear.
There was no panic.
Only joy.
Upon hearing the laughter and the sound of the rattles, all I wanted to do was put down everything, return to childhood, and live a life free from worldly strife.
Everyone present wore innocent and carefree smiles, completely absorbed in the laughter and the sound of rattles.
