BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The world finally collapsed between them, unable to withstand the pressure any longer.
Space lashed out like a chain broken under high pressure, sending out scythes of black and silver lightning in all directions.
The two coughed up mouthfuls of blood as they were sent flying beneath their own strength. It was almost as though the two had compressed the air so much between them that they had created a bomb that detonated with their combined strength.
As strong as the two of them were, neither one could withstand a blow this powerful, and in an irony of ironies, the both of them ended up heavily injured after a long battle without significant strikes.
The whipping scythes tore into Ryu's Heavenly Dao Tree and Sarriel's array of swords. Half of both of them were obliterated in an instant, and while Sarriel seemed to be fine, the destruction of his Heavenly Dao Tree caused severe backlash to Ryu's soul.
