Xing Chen's disarrayed dark profound energy had completely calmed down as well, and the wound on his chest didn't seem to bother him anymore.
A dangerous smile emerged on his lips as he said. "Let's go all out… You and me. Whoever lives in the end takes everything."
Yun Lintian's eyes narrowed slightly as he perceived a terrifying pressure leaking out of Xing Chen's body.
He smiled faintly and said. "Takes everything? As far as I know, you have nothing I want except for your life."
"Of course, I have something you want." Xing Chen immediately responded. "I have a secret about the Star Gazing Palace and perhaps this world."
Yun Lintian's brows raised slightly upon hearing this. "What kind of secret?"
Xing Chen didn't seem to mind telling it. "Do you know why those Abyssal Beasts try their best to invade this world?"
Yun Lintian frowned slightly. "Resources?"
"That's one thing." Xing Chen curled his lips. "I can only tell you that they come here for one thing, and once they successfully take it away, every single being in this world is doomed… Even if you have a powerful space artifact with you, all the people around you won't be able to escape."
"How is it? You must want to know it, right?"
The frown between Yun Lintian's brows grew deeper. He recalled Empress Yun's words and believed she said nothing about this.
At the same time, he didn't think Xing Chen lied to him either. After all, he didn't need to do this…. Perhaps the thing Xing Chen knew was related to the looping event?
"Come. I will tell you if you can defeat me." Xing Chen didn't wait for Yun Lintian to reply. The dark aura on his body surged. The black light that was pitch-black in the first place had turned even deeper. What was even more terrifying was that the dark power on his body was quickly spreading at a horrifying rate.
Under this dark might, the space that was lit up by the Phoenix and Vermilion flames earlier quickly dimmed. The ground started to shake as if thousands of beasts were running at the same time.
When this dark might surged to a certain extent, it instead weakened all of a sudden. However, the sense of pressure it was exuding on Yun Lintian and the others did not weaken in the least but instead jolted their soul for a moment.
"His profound aura… is undergoing a qualitative change!?" Nantian Fengyu said solemnly.
"It's the divine energy," Lauya said. "Previously, he hadn't completely merged with the Devil Emperor's blood and could only release an ordinary dark profound energy. It's different now. He seems to have stepped into the Divine Foundation Realm completely."
Yun Lintian's face turned solemn as he looked at Xing Chen. He didn't expect Xing Chen's strength to have actually risen again after all this time.
Though he looked solemn, he did not reveal the slightest bit of fluster on his face. Instead, he raised his left hand, and the White Dragon Spear immediately flew onto it.
With the spear in his left hand and the sword in his right hand, the flames around Yun Lintian had become even stronger.
Inside his body, the symbols of The Sun, The Moon, The Thunder, The Earth, The Storm, and The Tree of Life shone brightly as they sent massive energy currents to flush through Yun Lintian's profound vein.
After practicing inside the Elemental Hall for two months, Yun Lintian's understanding and proficiency of the Beyond Heaven King's relics in his body had reached an unprecedented height. It was several times better than the time he trained under Yun Xia's guidance.
He finally learned how to combine all their power without using the Beyond Heaven King's Crown.
However, once he used this, his strength would be completely exhausted. This meant he intended to gamble everything in the upcoming confrontation.
"Are you ready?" Xing Chen asked.
"Anytime." Yun Lintian responded calmly.
BOOOM!
All of a sudden, the surrounding darkness had become like a sticky solid substance that gradually showered down while rumbling. In a world devoid of light, it seemed like a fierce beast that was consuming the heavens and the earth.
Yun Lintian felt that the intense pressure was getting stronger at this time. His eyes pierced through the darkness, and he realized that the rumbling darkness was gathering behind Xing Chen's back.
It gradually grew and became a more and more massive sea of darkness where the borders nearly could not be seen.
Yun Lintian's eyebrows ferociously knitted, the profound energy in his entire body surged, and the Heaven Piercing Sword quickly swept out in front of him.
"You better use everything you have!" Xing Chen's voice echoed as the surrounding boundless sea of darkness enveloped Yun Lintian. The flames around the latter were gradually dimmed. It was like a small candle in a boundless world.
Yun Lintian inhaled strongly, and all the profound energy within his body began to circulate without restraint. A multi-colored aura burst out of his body and transformed into a frightening flame, pushing the surrounding darkness back.
Suddenly, he stepped forward. The Heaven Piercing Sword swung out with intensity, followed by the thrust of the White Dragon Spear.
Immediately, a colorful sword arc and a mighty white dragon shot out, strongly chasing away the darkness.
BOOOM!
The sea of darkness collided strongly with the traveling sword arc and the white dragon that let out a deafening roar. In that instant, the dark world split in two.
The shine from the combination of the colorful sword arc and the white dragon penetrated the darkness and formed a beautiful ray toward Xing Chen.
At this moment, Xing Chen suddenly let out a ferocious roar as all of his power burst out. "Uwahhhhhhh!"
Booom!
The beautiful and lethal ray from Yun Lintian was suddenly engulfed by the terrifying darkness that abruptly grew stronger. It was immediately reduced into a thin line of light.
Soon, the dark tide arrived before Yun Lintian, completely blasting him away.
Puff!
Blood instantly spurted out all over the place.
Yun Lintian, who was flying backward, forcefully stabilized his balance with a distorted stance. The profound aura on him surged, and the flames reignited.
At the same time, the Beyond Heaven King's Crown emerged on his head. The moment it appeared, six multi-colored lights from the jewels immediately shot out, penetrating the darkness.
Yun Lintian mustered all of his strength and swung the sword and the spear out at the same time.
"KILL!"
