chapter 394 part 2

Next.

Tang Zheng didn't choose to engage in close combat and try to disarm his opponent. Instead, he continued to wear him down with magic to ensure the Heavenly King wouldn't unleash some ultimate move before death, guaranteeing his own safety.

And when facing the Vast Eye Heavenly King's skill attacks.

He would use [Teleportation] for those he could dodge, and [Skull Wall] for those he couldn't.

Following the continuous bombardment of earth-attribute magic!

The Vast Eye Heavenly King's health finally dropped to 0%. His wrathful face and red-glowing eyes gradually returned to normal.

“All obstacles are broken.”

The Vast Eye Heavenly King's entire body trembled. The golden light around him dissipated, his expression became one of compassion, and he placed his hands together before his chest. Faintly, the sound of a striking wooden fish echoed:

“All that has form is illusory. Your path shall lead to Buddhahood!”

*Crack.*

The Vast Eye Heavenly King, like shattering glass, developed numerous cracks all over his body and turned into golden light, dissipating into the air. Along with him, the summoned snake-like monsters also vanished.

“I won!”

Tang Zheng took a deep breath and looked up toward another direction in the sky. “The last Heavenly King, the Growth Heavenly King!”

[HP: 1125/1125 · MP: 312/918]

He looked at his system panel.

His magic power had once again fallen below half.

“The cooldown is over. Ninjutsu: Shadow Clone Technique,” Tang Zheng let out a low shout.

A shadow stirred.

A Shadow Clone emerged from the shadow, standing beside Tang Zheng.

*Boom... Clang!*

The Soul of Heroic Spirits and the Growth Heavenly King crossed paths in the air. As its crimson armor clashed with the flame sword, a large number of fragments fell off.

Before they could even hit the ground, these armor fragments dissolved in mid-air like bubbles!

*Swoosh—*

The Soul of Heroic Spirits flapped its dragon wings, descending abruptly. Its membranous wings cut through the air, creating a piercing shriek.

The tattered armor on its body scraped against the air, leaving an irregularly shaped wind tunnel in its wake!

*Bang! Bang!*

The Soul of Heroic Spirits returned toward Tang Zheng at full speed, while the Growth Heavenly King, wielding a flaming greatsword, pursued closely behind.

Watching the two figures in the sky draw closer and closer.

Tang Zheng immediately gave the order for the remaining angels to intercept.

Pairs of holy wings flapped, charging into the sky to take the place of the Soul of Heroic Spirits, blocking the Growth Heavenly King's path.

[Slay Greed]

[Slay Hatred]

[Slay Ignorance]

Golden slashes cut across the sky. The angels, already low on health, couldn't withstand the attack and dissipated into light sparks in mid-air!

The Growth Heavenly King, clad in crimson-gold armor with a fist-sized Eagle Aspect Totem floating above his head, held his flame greatsword and looked down majestically at the three figures below.

The Soul of Heroic Spirits hovered in the air to Tang Zheng's left, while the Shadow Clone stood on the ground to his right.

“The situation now is three against one!”

Tang Zheng also looked up at the Growth Heavenly King in the sky, a fiery and excited glint flashing in his eyes.

Only the last Heavenly King remained. As long as he defeated him, he would obtain the World-Class Item [Mandala of Two Realms].

*Whoosh~*

The Soul of Heroic Spirits was the first to descend a certain distance, letting its long, thick dragon tail droop down close to Tang Zheng's side.

“Enlarge!”

Tang Zheng raised his left arm, touched the dragon tail, and activated the skill.

The Soul of Heroic Spirits' body suddenly swelled. Its already massive 20-meter-plus frame doubled in size, reaching over 40 meters.

[Enlarge] could be used on oneself or on a companion, doubling the user's size and increasing their Physical Attack by 100 points.

The Shadow Clone brought its hands together before its chest and activated a skill at the same time: “Ninjutsu: Immovable Body-Fixing Technique!”

The Growth Heavenly King's intended charge paused, his body instantly frozen in place.

[Teleportation]
[Shadow Assault]

Tang Zheng activated teleportation magic, appearing out of thin air in front of the Growth Heavenly King.

Meanwhile, the Soul of Heroic Spirits activated a skill from its [Body Armament], appearing right beside the Growth Heavenly King a moment later.

“Four Light Consecutive Slashes: Shatter!”

Tang Zheng roared. The Pain of Ice Fang bloomed with a brilliant white light in the air, slashing at the hand with which the Growth Heavenly King held the flame sword.

The powerful attack landed.

The Growth Heavenly King's hand involuntarily let go of the flame greatsword.

Now's the chance!

Tang Zheng's eyes lit up. He grasped the Pain of Ice Fang with both hands and rapidly activated his Martial Skills:

“Ability Boost!“
“Super Ability Boost!”
“Combat Aura Focus!”
“Four Light Consecutive Slashes: Shatter!”

At the same time, the Soul of Heroic Spirits raised its two dragon claws, their sharp tips glinting coldly in the air, and swung them down heavily.

*BOOM!*

The twofold attack landed. A stunning airwave erupted from the three of them, soaring into the sky. The Growth Heavenly King (39%) was sent flying.

Tang Zheng, controlling the Shadow Clone and the Soul of Heroic Spirits, had unleashed a full-power combined strike, wiping out 19% of the Growth Heavenly King's health in one go.

*Swish!*

After three seconds passed.

The dropped flame greatsword reappeared in the Growth Heavenly King's hand.

“Slash, slash, slash!”

The Growth Heavenly King's face was contorted with rage. A tiger's roar sounded from above his head, and a Tiger Aspect appeared in addition to the existing Eagle Aspect Totem.

“Wrathful Aspect: Cut Karma!”

The flame greatsword swung.

A massive slash, a fusion of gold and red, was unleashed, flying toward Tang Zheng's position.

“Ninjutsu: Immovable Vajra Shield!”

The Shadow Clone activated a defensive ninjutsu, forming a golden shield in front of Tang Zheng.

*Crack!*

The golden shield collided with the slash and shattered on the spot, having only held for an instant.

Tang Zheng's eyes widened in shock. The ninjutsu activated by his Shadow Clone had consumed 50 MP, equivalent to a 10th-tier defensive magic, yet it had failed to block the blow.

“It's not pure physical damage!”

The thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind as he faced the incoming slash. “Silent Cast: Teleportation!”

His figure vanished.

However…

The massive Dragon Lord form of the Soul of Heroic Spirits was right next to Tang Zheng. He could dodge, but the Soul of Heroic Spirits could not.

*BOOM!*

The Soul of Heroic Spirits' long neck snapped up unnaturally. Its heavily damaged Body Armament on its chest suffered another grievous blow. The massive figure plummeted from the sky with a deafening crash.

“Wrathful Aspect: Greed!”

A red light flashed across the Growth Heavenly King's body. He transformed into a streak of rainbow light, leaving an afterimage as he rushed in front of Tang Zheng.

“Wrathful Aspect: Anger!”

Raising the huge flame sword high, he brought it down on Tang Zheng with a heavy, mid-air chop.

“Unyielding Fortress!” Tang Zheng swung his sword upward in a reverse grip.

The two weapons collided. Instead of the loud clang of a normal weapon clash, it was as if an invisible force had neutralized the Growth Heavenly King's attack.

Tang Zheng's pupils suddenly shrank. He realized the Growth Heavenly King's assault hadn't stopped.

“It's a combo!”

*Swoosh!*

The Growth Heavenly King lifted the flame sword in his hand, and what followed was a relentless, ferocious barrage of slashes. A sky full of sword phantoms enveloped Tang Zheng.

[Mind's Eye]

Tang Zheng's eyes sharpened as he rapidly weaved and dodged through the incessant attacks.
