Chapter 528: Chapter 292: Demon Lord Core
Golden Thorns was not a pure energy attack like Wind Blade; it existed on a much higher plane.
That feeling of suspended space was a law-like power. It could draw all the energy within an area together to form a fissure—an extremely radical form of attack.
Activating this power required a special talent. An ordinary person could never wield it; they wouldn’t even be able to lift the sword.
Fang Zhen’s base attributes were high enough to wield this Longsword.
And by pouring more than twenty points of his source power into the Longsword, he could also unleash the might of the Golden Sun Flame.
At this moment, the Golden Sun Flame in Fang Zhen’s hand grew increasingly radiant, resembling a small golden sun. He was gathering an immense amount of power.
Scarn shrieked, having sustained tremendous damage.
Suddenly, after charging his power for a few more seconds, Fang Zhen closed the distance to Scarn.
He let out a furious roar.
He swung the Golden Sun Flame Longsword twice through the air.
Instantly, an X-shaped cross of golden light slashed through the air.
At first, the X was merely the size of the longsword, but as it flew through the air, it grew larger and larger.
In addition to the power Fang Zhen had charged it with, the Golden Sun Flame Longsword also absorbed the ambient energy from the world as it flew, ultimately becoming enormous.
By the time the X-shaped slash expanded to its full size, the two intersecting blades of light were both seven to eight meters long. They slammed into Scarn’s chest.
Scarn cried out in agony.
Scarn’s body, much like a shadow, appeared to be made of pure energy. In reality, it was a concentration of that energy, and though it was shadow-like, it behaved like a physical form.
This form left Scarn with no absolute weak points. However, it also came with another trait: because it was an energy-based being, attacks of a similar nature could inflict even greater damage upon it.
The power of the Golden Sun Flame Longsword was infused with a divine attribute, as its previous owner, Dale, had been a Valkyrie associated with holy power.
The combination of the Golden Sun Flame Longsword’s space-rending ability and its divine power inflicted massive damage.
Scarn’s chest shattered. Its body was like a block of butter, and the X-shaped slash was a branding iron. SIZZLE! Countless motes of golden light flashed across its chest.
The slash didn’t vanish on impact. Instead, it seared itself into Scarn’s chest like a brand, dealing continuous damage.
Scarn shrieked unceasingly as its power and life force clearly drained away.
Meanwhile, the Thunder Spear in Fang Zhen’s right hand gathered immense Thunder Power, weaving a net of lightning as he charged toward Scarn.
Struck by the Golden Sun Flame slash, Scarn was suddenly weakened. A look of terror appeared on its face.
Even demons, who took pleasure in slaughtering other living beings, still felt fear when facing their own death.
Scarn was grievously wounded, its life force dropping to a critical level. It no longer had the luxury of holding back.
Scarn suddenly let out a shriek mixed with pain and fury. Instantly, within the darkened space, a cataclysmic light tore through the black sky.
A colossal bolt of black lightning struck down from the sky, inflicting enormous damage on all humans within its range.
The moment the black lightning struck the Divine Rune Warriors below, more than a dozen of them collapsed, seemingly losing their lives in an instant.
The immense power of this attack made everyone below grow pale with fright.
The largest bolt, however, shot toward Fang Zhen.
Fang Zhen sensed the apocalyptic black lightning a second before it descended.
This black lightning was impossible to dodge; no matter which direction he moved, the bolt would track him.
Fang Zhen gritted his teeth, his expression resolute. He redirected his Thunder Spear from Scarn to the sky, and at the same time, the Gang Zan Seal on his body activated.
His protective Extraordinary Items flared to life, covering his body in a green and orange-red glow.
The colossal black lightning bolt crashed down from the sky, and Fang Zhen’s spear shot up to meet it. Blue electricity and black lightning collided, unleashing a deafening roar.
BOOM!
The sound carried a powerful shockwave that radiated outward, instantly sending the Little Demons below flying.
Some of the Divine Rune Warriors were sent tumbling seven or eight meters away, and the shockwave even demolished several nearby buildings.
At the epicenter of the blast, Fang Zhen’s arms went numb, but he kept his Thunder Spear held high. Despite enduring an incredibly powerful impact, he held his ground.
His scalp, arms, and shoulders tingled, and a powerful electric current seemed to course through his body.
The flying lotus he stood upon was knocked down seven or eight meters, but it didn’t hit the ground. It remained stable, steadily supporting Fang Zhen’s body.
It had been a difficult struggle, but Fang Zhen had withstood the blow.
’That was dangerous. It broke through about seventy percent of my defenses. Even though I wasn’t physically harmed, that was still a close call.’
’I need to increase my defenses. More, and then even more. Even having the Divine Rune Armor isn’t enough,’ Fang Zhen thought.
However, Scarn, the one who had launched the attack, was in an even worse state than Fang Zhen.
