Chapter 1128: The Strongest Move of Xu Hei

Xu Hei had once imagined what the effect would be if he used Earth Core Transformation inside the Sun, and now he had his answer. The effect was terrifyingly powerful, but the cost was equally devastating. Xu Hei's current strength had surpassed the limits of what he could endure, and his physical body was at risk of collapsing at any moment.

Under such immense power, Xu Hei was like a bomb ready to explode at any time.

In the next second, Xu Hei set his sights on Jiang Bufan, mustering all his strength and throwing a punch.

The moment his fist was unleashed, Xu Hei's arm instantly shattered, turning into nothingness. The vast power within it condensed into a beam of light, piercing through the void and smashing towards Jiang Bufan with a destructive force.

"Yellow Spring Boundary Monument!"

From within the Five Elemental Heavenly Capital Corpse, the earth and water corpses vanished on the spot, instantly appearing in front of the beam. They combined their divine abilities, raising a massive boundary monument from the ground, forming a thick, pitch-black wall to block the beam.

"Boom!!"

The solar beam Xu Hei unleashed smashed the Yellow Spring Boundary Monument to pieces in an instant, its residual force crashing into the two heavenly corpses behind it.

The earth elemental corpse exploded into fragments on the spot, while the water elemental corpse was blasted with a large hole, half its body gone, rendered useless.

But at least it managed to block Xu Hei's explosive strike.

Jiang Bufan's eyes narrowed, a hint of astonishment flashing through them.

Even without activating the domain field, the Five Elemental Heavenly Capital Corpse's strength would be suppressed by the laws, but to have one corpse killed and another crippled in a single strike was far beyond his expectations.

Xu Hei was the most terrifying cultivator from the mortal realm he had ever seen. Not yet having shattered the void, he already possessed such combat power. If he truly ascended by shattering the void, what would happen then?

"Courting death!"

With a thought, Jiang Bufan commanded the remaining three Five Elemental Heavenly Capital Corpses. The fire and metal corpses stepped forward instantly, with the metal corpse releasing a prison of heaven and earth, transforming the spiritual qi of metal into a barrier, enveloping Xu Hei.

The fire corpse summoned a myriad of flames, with countless meteor fire showers emerging from the Sun, falling like a storm towards Xu Hei.

Seeing his attack fail, Xu Hei's heart sank to the bottom. His previous move had already been his full strength, and even that had not succeeded.

The power of the Spirit Realm cultivators was beyond his imagination!

Now, Xu Hei was driven to a dead end, with only one last move left, his final trump card, which he would never use unless at the brink of life and death!

"But now, there's no other choice."

Xu Hei's face showed a painful struggle, but he steeled his heart. Before the opponent's attack arrived, he took out a disc-shaped magical treasure and sat on it.

Then, Xu Hei burned his primordial spirit, channeling all the remaining Earth Core Transformation spiritual power within him into the disc.

In an instant, the disc burst into a dazzling, blinding light, as if unleashing its strongest energy, breaking through the void and shooting towards the distant depths of the void.

This was Xu Hei's last resort.

—Escape!

Unable to win, he could only flee. This Star Compass had been repaired by Old Tree with various materials back when they were on Dark Star.

According to Old Tree, this compass now had seventy percent of its power. As long as it had enough spiritual qi, its speed would be beyond imagination, more than enough to leave Spirit Realm cultivators in the dust.

"Whoosh!"

Sure enough, before the opponent's golden barrier and meteor fire shower arrived, Xu Hei had already rushed out of range, piloting the Star Compass at an incredible speed, heading into the distance.

"What?"

Jiang Bufan's face darkened slightly, glaring at Mo Xingtian beside him, "Give me the Sky-Seeking Disk, I need to track this person!"

Mo Xingtian's eyes narrowed slightly, "You handle this fire spirit, I'll track Xu Hei!"

Mo Xingtian had witnessed the battle just now.

Xu Hei had crippled two of the Five Elemental Heavenly Capital Corpses with one strike, his own body half-melted, clearly exceeding his limits. This was a prime opportunity to pick the fruits of victory, how could he let it slip by?

Though they had come together, when it came to claiming credit, they revealed their true natures, neither willing to give up such an easy achievement.

After all, in their eyes, Xu Hei was inescapable!

Of course, the credit was one aspect.

On the other hand, whoever caught Xu Hei first would have the first chance to interact with the Demon God Cauldron.

This was the third on the list of heavenly treasures, even more prestigious than the Jiang family's Fengming Mountain. Who wouldn't want to experience such an opportunity?

Moreover, Xu Hei might have other treasures on him, which they could seize as well. This was their selfish desire, known to both but unspoken.

In the depths of their hearts, a bold thought even emerged: if the Demon God Cauldron was truly as miraculous as rumored, capable of evading the Jiang family's celestial sensing, could they...

But such thoughts were fleeting.

Regardless, both of them wanted to capture Xu Hei first, neither wanting the other to succeed.

"Swish!"

Mo Xingtian blasted the fire spirit aside with a palm, then summoned a flying sword, stepping onto it and flying directly in the direction where Xu Hei had disappeared.

"Get lost!"

Jiang Bufan bit his tongue, spitting out a golden lightning bolt, which struck the fire spirit with a thunderous roar.

The humanoid fire spirit was immediately shattered into pieces, greatly weakened, and even its flames dimmed, reverting to its spherical form.

Jiang Bufan's face was ashen. To quickly deal with this fire spirit, he had even expended a bit of his life essence blood, but as long as he could catch Xu Hei first, it would all be worth it.

He was about to turn and leave when he suddenly froze.

He saw the fire spirit frantically absorbing energy from the Sun, causing itself to rapidly expand.

Thirty meters, a hundred meters, five hundred meters, a thousand meters...

In the blink of an eye, the fire spirit had expanded to a thousand meters, like a blazing sun, crashing towards Jiang Bufan.

"Damn it!"

Jiang Bufan's face turned livid, forced to engage in battle with the fire spirit.

…………

This battle lasted for an entire hour.

In the end, the fire spirit, which had been frantically absorbing solar energy, couldn't withstand Jiang Bufan's methods and was blasted into pieces, escaping as a beam of light.

Jiang Bufan sat on the void warship, his entire body charred black, his expression extremely grim.

Dealing with this fire spirit had delayed him for a whole hour, and he could only hope Xu Hei had escaped quickly and not fallen into Mo Xingtian's hands.

He took out the remaining Five Elemental Heavenly Capital Corpses, arranging them in a circle, each standing in their respective positions, their energies interconnecting and circulating, the Five Elements mutually generating and overcoming each other.

Moments later, amidst various mysterious changes, a miraculous scene unfolded.

The previously destroyed water elemental corpse rapidly regrew half its body, its severed limbs restored, its aura reviving. In just over ten breaths, it had completely healed, returning to its original form.

And in the vacant area between fire and metal, the dust in the heavens and earth rapidly gathered, combining to gradually form the shape of the earth elemental corpse.
