Ora’s attack came with incredible speed, the furious spiritual power transformed into a sky full of fury, as if it covered the entire star system.
Zhang Xiaoman shivered, he hadn’t expected his opponent’s attack to be so ferocious. It seemed that Ora was indeed like the legends said, a God King mastering thunderbolts, known for his formidable attack power.
However, Zhang Xiaoman was not one to be trifled with. In just that brief moment, he immediately reacted and also discerned the attributes fused into the opponent’s attack.
"Power Sequence and Burst Sequence... to already be able to utilize such level of dark spirit particles..."
Zhang Xiaoman knew his opponent’s strength was extraordinary because the Burst Sequence ranked 14th among the Upper Sequences, characterized by significantly enhancing the effect of skills, especially in attack, proving to be quite groundbreaking.
Zhang Xiaoman did not hesitate at all, immediately casting a defensive barrier, a super strong defensive skill within the Returning Sea Divine Ability, named "Tidal Cliff", capable of absorbing and blocking all attacks.
Correspondingly, into this move, Zhang Xiaoman also infused two Divine Domains of power, the 35th-ranked Defense Sequence and the 15th-ranked Aggregation Sequence; the former requires no elaboration, while the latter has properties opposite to the Burst Sequence.
Tidal Cliff absorbed all the thunderlight in front of Zhang Xiaoman, but in terms of spiritual power level, he was greatly suppressed by his opponent, making this move not an easy one to deal with.
Typically, when both sides in a battle use corresponding Divine Domain attributes, it is the quality and quantity of spiritual power that decides who is stronger.
And Zhang Xiaoman had just entered the Middle-level Transcendent for only a few decades; be it the quality or quantity of spiritual power, it was far inferior compared to top-notch experts like Ora.
At this moment, he could clearly feel the immense pressure; if he only defended without counterattacking, it wouldn’t be long before he would be defeated.
Facing such a situation, Zhang Xiaoman was not in the least bit disappointed; instead, he was rather excited.
What he wanted was this feeling of battling against powerful enemies; for him, it was undoubtedly a kind of training; otherwise, constantly beating weaker opponents would yield no growth.
In fact, during the years after Zhang Xiaoman entered the Beller Star Domain, he had been doing just that. To subdue the drones, he had to deal with the Mother Nest of the drone cluster, among which the most powerful—Middle-level Transcendent Black Death Star Mother Nest—was subdued by him personally.
However, it was a pity that this Mother Nest had no way to travel from the Second Universe to the First Universe for now and could only be temporarily left in the Beller Star Domain, awaiting continuous proceedings of the Great Fusion to arrive near the Phantom Spirit Star System along with it. By then, the situation on the Phantom Spirit Clan’s battlefield would further stabilize.
Back then, after comfortably subduing the Black Death Star in the Beller Star Domain, Zhang Xiaoman had essentially completed annexing that region, and his steps gradually moved to the intersection between the Beller Star Domain and the Insect Domain, where he encountered Ziwei, who had nowhere to hide from the chase of the Ancestor Worm.
At that time, Ziwei was already gravely injured and on the brink of death, fortunately, Zhang Xiaoman arrived just in time to save her.
After being rescued and recovering, Ziwei had been training by Zhang Xiaoman’s side. She was inherently talented, and after undergoing the tempering of the Advanced Enlightenment Array and constant battles with the Insect Race, with the help of Middle-level Transcendent Zhang Xiaoman, she quickly reached the Lower Transcendent level like Black Soul. This is why despite not being seen for several years, Ziwei’s strength had experienced such a tremendous breakthrough.
To get back to the point, just as Zhang Xiaoman’s battle with God King Ora began, they both successively used two high-ranking Divine Domains, stunning the spectators.
Goodness, this Ji Xing is quite strong, being able to use a Divine Domain from the 15 series; even if he isn’t that Demon Lord, his power ranks among the top of the Middle-level Gods. Surely, he doesn’t appear as he initially showed, definitely hiding his true strength, though how much remains concealed is hard to tell.
Huan Cai was frowning, quickly calculating in her mind the opponent’s power; however, since the battle just started, not much could be discerned for now.
Yet, just as she planned to continue observing, the sudden drastic change in the battlefield left her entirely unsettled, even having an impulse to act.
After using Tidal Cliff to block Ora’s thunderbolt attack, Zhang Xiaoman, to avoid being dragged down by prolonged defense, directly launched a major counterattack.
He lightly grasped his hand, and the Purple Cloud Divine Sword appeared out of thin air in his palm, as if it had always existed there.
The Divine Sword swung backhanded, representing Zhang Xiaoman’s counterstrike.
A terrifyingly suffocating aura erupted, Ora couldn’t react in time and was instantly blasted away by the purple thunderbolt, the force immobilizing him, leaving him to watch helplessly as he was engulfed by the purple lightning.
In the sky, the originally white thunderbolt of Ora was completely absorbed, replaced by a purple glow seemingly able to pierce directly into the soul.
