Chapter 1160 True Empyrean Strength

1160 True Empyrean Strength

Wang Wei did not immediately enter but instead brought this entire forbidden zone into the Void Battlefield. He frowned as he realized he never had a chance to upgrade the battlefield, so it still could not bear a true battle between two Empyrans. Without much choice, Wang Wei added a few quick arrays to temporarily support this place and prevent leakage of their strength; otherwise, one of them could destroy the entire lower dimension.

Once everything was set up, he removed all the seals on the Nether Hell. Old Man Nether slowly walked out, and Wang Wei squinted. 'His aura is different - fiercer and more warrior-like.' The previous Old Man Nether was like a wild beast, but Wang Wei could tell the latter had lost its fangs. But this one was another story - he was truly an apex predator.

"Was it your doing?" Wang Wei asked. "This three-way alliance, was that your idea, or am I giving you too much credit? Did you just come up with this idea, or have you been working with the Abyss Gap for a long time?"

"Are you sure you should be here?" Old Man Nether asked calmly.

"Don't worry, I've prepared for your little friend. As long as I kill you quickly enough, everything will be fine."

"It seems you have much faith in your people." Old Man Nether cracked his neck. "I would love for the plan to proceed normally and distract you long enough for us to escape, but I'm also fine with luring you here."

[King of Hell Mode]

The black bone armor materialized on his body as he used his most powerful state. His hair and beard turned into flame, but not the color purple as before, but dark red. His pupils were not blood red but pitch black.

'His aura and transformation are indeed different, but I don't sense any corruption or Abyss power from him,' Wang Wei analyzed as he activated his [Awakening], along with all his boosts to enter the Taboo Realm. He manipulated his aura to resemble the last time they fought, hiding that he had entered the Taboo Realm or had achieved perfection.

His proving Dao artifact turned into a silver sword, but to his surprise, his opponent summoned a halberd instead of the previous ax. Wang Wei squinted before rushing forward, clashing his weapon against Old Man Nether.

The sheer shock from their attack twisted the void from this infinite space composed of the power of nothingness. Luckily, it only twisted it without tearing it apart. The two had hundreds of shadows emanating from their bodies as their weapons clashed, but these shadows were not simple after images of their speed. Each shadow represented the fact they classed ten trillion times in less than an attosecond.

At first, the two were equal, but with the passing of time, Old Man Nether started to move backward. He could not help as Wang Wei's attack or swordsmanship was direct but scary. Each strike was powered by an infinite number of people from ancient to modern times; he accessed these people's lives from the River of Fate and borrowed their strength by controlling their fates. This [Fate Condensing Sword Technique] is not scarier because he could only access the fate of people weaker than him. Regardless, given the amount of people that existed in the lower dimension since the beginning of time, it was a truly scary number.

Boom!

Old Man Nether flew a dozen meters, sliding through the floor to prevent himself from flying away in embarrassment. However, Wang Wei would not give him the opportunity to rest as he continued his onslaught of attacks, forcing him on the defensive.

'It's different from our previous fight,' Wang Wei thought. 'It's apparent that his previous lack of battle experience was gone, meaning he spent all that time training. He must have used his created lifeforms to aid him.' Old Man Nether's rapid improvement could only mean he spent countless years fighting and training to compensate for his previous lack of experience.

Boom!

Old Man Nether was pushed back a second time. "If that's all you have, I'll be very disappointed."

"The battle has just started, brat," Old Man Nether sneered.

[Yin-Yang Divide]

Old Man Nether held the halberd with two hands to ensure his downward slash could use all its power. The all-white empty void of the battlefield instantly turned into black and white as the halberd descended. Wang Wei felt a terrifying power trying to divide him into two: his Yin and Yang self. He knew that if it succeeded, his strength would also be divided, making it easier for him to be slaughtered.

Wang Wei waved his sword, erasing the concept of Yin-Yang in the surroundings, thus turning Old Man Nether's attack into a simple weapon-based one. As for the weapon itself, he moved it to the side with his left hand. Wang Wei wanted to follow his two-piece combo/attack to a three-hit with a kick to his opponent's chess, but a terrifying force came out of nowhere and sent him flying a few thousand kilometers.
