Chapter 206
Xiao Minghuang had reason to suspect, or rather, to confirm that the Final Guardian must possess some kind of innate physique, one that greatly enhanced his physical strength.
Otherwise, how could her body, tempered to the twelfth level of the Body Forging Realm, suffer such a tremendous impact?
Moreover, she could sense that he, like her, had also reached the Fetal Shadow Realm…
“This is a formidable opponent.”
Xiao Minghuang sighed inwardly.
But she was not afraid.
Although the Final Guardian’s strength was terrifying, her Fetal Shadow was no slouch either.
“Let’s continue!”
Xiao Minghuang took a deep breath, stomped her foot, and shot forward like an arrow!
Boom!
Xiao Minghuang wielded her pure white longsword, her movements as swift as a dragon, sweeping toward the black-robed figure!
Every slash of her sword unleashed a devastating force capable of destroying mountains and rivers, like the Milky Way pouring down from the heavens!
The black-robed figure moved through the void, swinging his wooden stick.
His movements seemed slow and clumsy, as if he couldn’t possibly dodge the attack!
But Xiao Minghuang didn’t dare let her guard down!
Her sword’s momentum didn’t slow in the slightest!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every time the black-robed figure swung his wooden staff, it would collide with Xiao Minghuang hundreds, even thousands of times.
The two had been locked in a fierce battle for a long time, yet neither could gain the upper hand.
Finally, the black-robed figure came to a halt, standing in the void, as if brewing an unstoppable force.
“Can’t hold back anymore, huh…”
A slight smile curled at the corner of Xiao Minghuang’s lips. After breaking through to the Embryonic Shadow Realm, her strength had greatly increased. In her duel with the Final Guardian, she had always maintained a state of ease.
Now that the other party had abandoned attrition and chosen to go all out to decide the outcome, it might very well be because he knew he was no match and thus decided to stake everything on one throw.
But…
A cold smirk formed on Xiao Minghuang’s lips.
The Final Guardian hadn’t gone all out, but neither had she unleashed her full strength.
In the sky.
The Final Guardian’s black robe billowed without wind, and the air around him began to distort violently. The aura emanating from his body grew stronger and more terrifying, as if it were about to explode!
Finally, his aura reached a peak, attaining an unimaginable level!
An overwhelming, domineering presence erupted from within him, as if he alone ruled the heavens and the earth!
Behind the Final Guardian, a massive fist phantom appeared—this was his Embryonic Shadow.
“Finally revealing your trump card, huh?”
Xiao Minghuang’s expression turned grave.
The Final Guardian’s power gave her a strong sense of crisis.
The next moment.
The phantom instantly solidified, and with a single punch, it seemed like a mountain, crushing through the void, carrying a terrifying force capable of destroying heaven and earth.
At this moment, the heavens crumbled, and the mountains and rivers changed color!
The entire sky shook violently, as if it could be covered by his fist at any moment.
The power of this punch was too immense, enough to crush everything!
“What a formidable punch!”
Xiao Minghuang’s pupils contracted slightly, and without holding back, she unleashed her full strength!
In an instant, her eyes shone with a dazzling brilliance, like stars.
Three beams of radiant starlight connected her to the endless starry sky, and her aura surged abruptly. Thirty-six stars orbited around her, and a pure white longsword materialized in her hand, with starlight scattering. A flame erupted from her palm, coiling around the blade, transforming into a fire dragon, baring its fangs and claws, spewing scorching flames.
At this moment.
Her entire body radiated a blinding brilliance, like a small sun, emitting an incomparably dazzling light.
She leaped into the air, her figure like a golden rainbow piercing the sun, charging toward the Final Guardian at an unimaginable speed.
Boom!
The Starfire Sword clashed with the fist, instantly erupting with an ear-splitting sound.
The violent shockwaves spread out, shattering the surrounding green-golden floor tiles into dust!
Amidst the swirling flames and radiant light, a dark figure was sent flying backward.
It was the Final Guardian!
He crashed into the ground like a kite with its string cut, causing the earth to tremble!
But immediately, Xiao Minghuang charged forward again, her pure white longsword drawing an arc like a shooting star, thrusting toward the Final Guardian.
This time, her sword’s radiance was even more intense, more ferocious, like a blazing sun illuminating the sky.
She would not give the Final Guardian any chance to catch his breath!
“Let this be the end!”
Xiao Minghuang shouted in a low voice, her sword stance suddenly changing!
Whoosh!
The pure white longsword instantly unleashed thousands of sword rays, like countless falling meteors, enveloping the Final Guardian entirely!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Each sword ray easily pierced through the Final Guardian’s body.
Blood gushed out, and wounds spread across the void!
His entire body was riddled with holes, not a single piece of flesh left intact.
With a cold gaze, Xiao Minghuang delivered the final strike, tearing his body into countless pieces.
“Phew…”
Xiao Minghuang let out a long breath, looking at the now completely dead Final Guardian.
“The ancient forbidden prodigy indeed had some strength…”
Before she could even catch her breath, she was teleported back to the grand hall.
Seated in the center, the white-robed elder smiled, “I didn’t expect us to meet again so soon. You’ve surprised me.”
Originally, he thought Xiao Minghuang would at most reach the 98th or 99th level before exhausting her potential. But unexpectedly, she broke through within the tower and cleared the 100th level!
“Thank you for your praise, senior. It was merely luck.”
The elder chuckled, “Luck? No such thing. Your ability to clear the 100th level is a testament to your talent, potential, and character.”
“Do you know the origin of the guardian of the 100th level?”
The Final Guardian of the 100th level was indeed strong. If she hadn’t broken through the Realm, she would have surely been stopped by him.
“I do not, senior. Please enlighten me.”
The white-robed elder stroked his beard, “This man was known as the Thirteenth Overlord, born with a Dominant Physique, a descendant of the Dominant Physique lineage. He emerged ten thousand years ago, dominating three generations, and among the many candidates for saint and saintess, he ranked within the top six hundred!”
“Speaking of which, twelve hundred years ago, I once had a brief encounter with him. At that time, he was trapped in the Life and Death Mystic Barrier. I wonder if he has broken through since then…”
At this point, the white-robed elder suddenly stopped, looking at Xiao Minghuang and laughing, “I’ve digressed. Your talent is remarkable. Here is the Nine Revolutions Meteorite Iron promised to you. Take it!”
With a wave of his sleeve, a storage bag floated out and hovered before Xiao Minghuang.
She reached out and took it, quickly scanning its contents. Besides the Nine Revolutions Meteorite Iron, there were also spirit stones and pills, all of considerable value.
Xiao Minghuang understood that this was the white-robed elder showing favor, a gesture of goodwill, or perhaps an “investment.”
