Chapter 008: Divine Power of Protection

The Pure Yang Taoist had been full of confidence in Diana, but after seeing this move, his heart wavered.

Because this move was simply too formidable.

All he saw were blades, only swords.

The Xuantian Evil Emperor seemed to have vanished at this moment; between heaven and earth, aside from blades and swords, there was only Diana, standing alone facing the漫天 blades and swords.

Diana was also quite astonished. She was proficient in countless fighting techniques, but none could compare to this move before her. Under this move, heaven and earth themselves seemed to become blades and swords.

The漫天 blades and swords came slicing toward her. In that instant, Diana could not even discern how many blades and swords there were.

However, making Diana admit defeat was no easy task.

She abruptly entered the supersonic realm, and everything in heaven and earth slowed down. Even the漫天 blades and swords rushing toward her slowed, and the originally fierce tide of blades and swords was easily seen through by her.

Diana stepped lightly, brandishing the Godfire Sword, cleaving through the漫天 blades and swords, sending forth a series of brilliant sparks, carving out a path. In an instant, she found the Xuantian Evil Emperor wielding his blades and swords.

In the eyes of outsiders, Diana was like a streak of light, retreating not but advancing instead, boldly charging into the heaven-and-earth blades and swords. Relying on her superb skill, she clashed head-on with the blades and swords, forcibly cutting a path through the漫天 radiance of blades and swords.

Such strength, such insight, such perseverance surpassed everyone's amazement.

After finding the Xuantian Evil Emperor, Diana thrust her sword, aiming for his throat.

But as the Godfire Sword neared the Xuantian Evil Emperor, its speed slowed once more.

The Xuantian Evil Emperor saw Diana break through one of his Three Divine Techniques like lightning, thrusting straight for his throat, but he was not surprised, for in his view, Diana absolutely possessed such strength.

She was an opponent beyond imagination.

Relying on the unique power of Star Calamity, he wielded his blades and swords, with radiance of blades and swords filling all directions. Propelled by his true energy, he forcibly drove Diana back.

"Excellent!"

Diana retreated, and the Xuantian Evil Emperor regrouped, saying, "Miss Dai, please appraise my second technique."

Blade severs light, sword severs shadow, bleak and killing, annihilating the mortal world!

To deal with this formidable enemy before him, the Xuantian Evil Emperor concentrated his mind. His blade and sword suddenly spiraled and flipped, swift and agile, as if splitting into a thousand blades and ten thousand swords. Using qi to control the sword and spirit to control the blade, an immensely bleak and desolate aura emerged between heaven and earth.

Blade and sword intertwined to form a sphere, a bleak and despairing sphere, as if containing all the sorrowful blades and despairing swords of heaven and earth. The bleak and desolate radiance of blades and swords was about to shatter all things, irresistible!

Those struck would suffer the stabbing, slashing, chopping, and slicing of ten thousand blades and a million swords.

Diana showed no fear. She raised her shield and strode forward, charging straight into it. After a crisp clang, there came a漫天 assault like a violent storm.

Diana swung her shield so tightly that not a breath could pass through, forcibly blocking the漫天 blades and swords. At the same time, she swung the Godfire Sword, which descended with a crash amid thunder and lightning.

The漫天 lightning struck Guilt Madness and Star Calamity. The lightning passed through these two demon weapons, transmitting to the Xuantian Evil Emperor's body, jolting him like an electric shock. His body stiffened slightly, and he quickly pushed his true energy to expel the numbing sensation.

Thus, his divine technique experienced a brief rigidity.

If it had been someone else, they might not have noticed, but Diana was a demigod. Even the smallest flaw was magnified endlessly in her eyes.

With a resounding boom, the Xuantian Evil Emperor flew backward, tumbling several times in midair before landing. He retreated more than ten meters before stopping.

His face pale, he coughed up a mouthful of blood. His whole body ached dully, his wrists numb, as if he could no longer hold Guilt Madness and Star Calamity.

"So strong, truly so strong!"

The Xuantian Evil Emperor sighed inwardly. This woman before him was the greatest enemy he had ever encountered, surpassing even the Great Rakshasa Sect Leader. She was like a deity, inspiring awe.

The Xuantian Evil Emperor couldn't help but wonder if this woman was a goddess from heaven.

But even if she were a goddess, she could not make him bow his head. He was the Xuantian Evil Emperor, who knelt not to heaven or earth, nor worshipped gods or Buddhas.

"Receive my final technique!!!"

Blade without form, sword without shape, vast and boundless, shattering the universe!

This technique was the last of the Three Divine Techniques, also the most powerful and the most bizarre.

It was also the most unsolvable technique the Xuantian Evil Emperor had created after much deliberation.

Suddenly, an endless aura of blades and swords erupted between heaven and earth, seeming to annihilate all living beings. Its speed was not inferior to the first technique, but in combat, it instantly alternated between grand openings and closings, from simple to complex, fierce and unmatched, with force surpassing the second technique. If the enemy was the slightest bit negligent, they would be doomed.

But the Xuantian Evil Emperor knew well that this alone could not defeat the goddess before him.

However, this was not the essence of the third technique. The true essence of the third technique, following speed and power, was the final focus on... the power of space!

The weapon in the Xuantian Evil Emperor's hand gradually disappeared, and he himself faded into nothingness, as if falling into a void, with no boundaries around him. The formless aura of blades and swords pervaded the void, capable of injuring people invisibly.

This aura of blades and swords was so subtle and astonishing that even the extraordinary sixth sense could not detect it.

In an instant, a blood blossom bloomed on Diana's shoulder.

This was the first time she had been injured since the battle began.

Diana was indeed a demigod, and her defense was indeed astonishing, but the blades and swords in the Xuantian Evil Emperor's hands were not ordinary weapons. They were demon weapons transformed from the Primordial Heavenly Demon's demon pearl, capable of clashing head-on with the Godfire Sword without breaking, proving the terror of demon weapons.

Pfft...

In just a few blinks, Diana was injured again. A sword scar appeared on her back.

Helpless, Diana raised both hands and struck her wrists together!

Bang!

Diana wore the Guardian Silver Bracelets. When the Guardian Silver Bracelets struck each other, the divine power contained within them was activated. A semi-transparent golden sphere, centered on Diana, rapidly expanded and pushed outward.

Wherever it passed, all attacks were repelled outside.

The formless aura of blades and swords shattered one after another under the impact of the divine power of protection. Even the Xuantian Evil Emperor himself was knocked flying by the divine power of protection, crashing to the ground with a thud, rolling several times before barely managing to stand up using his blades and swords for support.

At this moment, his internal organs were injured, his true energy scattered, his face pale as paper, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. His body swayed, as if about to fall at any moment.

"You win, Miss Dai. I have lost," said the Xuantian Evil Emperor.

"You are a powerful human," Diana said slowly.

She also held considerable admiration for the Xuantian Evil Emperor. His skill in wielding blades and swords was something even she herself was far from matching!
