In an instant, two faint white rays of light shot out from Emperor Shitian's eyes and directly attacked Li Xiu!
The distance between the two was not far, and those two rays of light were too fast and fierce. Before Li Xiu could react, the two rays of light had already attacked. They were not as brilliant as Wuming's sword light, but they seemed to contain endless dangers, making Li Xiu's heart and mind instinctively tremble and be captured!
"Buzz!"
Just now, Emperor Shitian's Heaven Heart Catastrophe made Li Xiu hear a sound like a large bell, but this time Li Xiu only felt that he had turned into an old copper bell and was fiercely struck by a stick. It had nothing to do with the physical body, it seemed to hit the soul directly, making him feel a moment of blurriness and confusion in his spirit.
After everything returned to normal, Li Xiu found that the scene in front of him had changed, and he didn't know when he had fallen into a deep pit. At the same time, the pain in his chest gradually became clear.
It seems that while Li Xiu was dazed just now, Emperor Shitian found that his Shocking Catastrophe was not very effective, so he quickly took advantage and gave Li Xiu a follow-up blow, causing his body to crash through many houses.
Li Xiu looked at the injuries on his chest, the broken red scales were covered in blood, looking very fierce and miserable, but he slightly felt that it seemed not to have hurt the bones.
The Azure Jade Sutra has always emphasized defense, and for a long time, he had no reference for physical strength because there was nothing in the world that was harder than his body. Especially after devouring the Fire Qilin Blood, Li Xiu felt that his own life essence had been sublimated, his physical strength reached a terrifying ten-thousand-catty force, and his physical strength was so strong that even he was not sure where the limit was.
Now it seems that even Emperor Shitian's full-force attack could not harm him, only causing some minor injuries.
In the deep pit, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. Li Xiu, instinctively on guard, punched and hit. In the sound of the blast, the figure flew back faster than before and hit the rocks and dust.
Li Xiu jumped out of the deep pit, his face showing no obvious signs of joy because he felt that he had not truly hit Emperor Shitian's body. He was still blocked by the true energy defense set up by Emperor Shitian in a hurry. After all, Emperor Shitian is a battle-hardened warrior, so he still has some reaction, but it probably doesn't feel good.
In the smoke and dust rising from the collapsed houses, there were occasional sounds of bones moving, probably because Emperor Shitian was accelerating the healing of his injuries with the help of his Sacred Heart technique and Phoenix Blood. Of course, it could also be a deliberate sound to lure the enemy.
Li Xiu relied on his strong physical body and had no fear in his heart. He was about to step forward, but then he saw a strange scene that shook his heart.
The smoke did not move and a faint phantom flew out, as if it did not exist. It did not push the smoke away and did not bring any wind. It slowly flew towards Li Xiu with its hands behind its back, clearly able to move quickly but seemingly enjoying Li Xiu's shocked gaze.
Li Xiu's eyes shrank and he quickly retreated, trying to pull away and observe the situation.
But as soon as Li Xiu's figure drew a shadow, no matter how fast or how quick he accelerated, Emperor Shitian remained indifferent, but like a maggot in the bones, he always kept a distance of one foot from Li Xiu.
The First two Catastrophe of the Sacred Heart technique were ineffective against Li Xiu, the third Catastrophe had little effect but at least it was not completely blocked, Emperor Shitian directly used his final killing move, the Catastrophe of the Gods! It's a move that Emperor Shitian used his own body and soul as a weapon, which is not easily used, but it is the only way to kill all the souls of living beings, because there is no way to stop or attack Emperor Shitian's soul, you can only watch helplessly as Emperor Shitian slowly takes your life, at least that's how it used to be.
Suddenly, Emperor Shitian, who was originally indifferent and floating like a real immortal, seemed to have hit an invisible wall and abruptly stopped.
Faced with a situation he had never encountered before, Emperor Shitian's smile froze on his face and there was a hint of panic in his eyes.
Li Xiu, on the other hand, looked at Emperor Shitian, who was a little panicked and flustered, with a hint of a smile on his face. Emperor Shitian's soul was actually intercepted by his force field in mid-air!
During the time when Li Xiu gradually consumed the Fire Qilin blood, his force field, which had not grown for a long time, started to grow gradually again in an abnormal way.
Afterwards, he speculated that force field might be a manifestation of the power of the soul. When the body is weak, the spirit will be weak, and when the essence of life is transformed and strengthened, it will strengthen the soul and spirit and the most obvious is his force field being enhanced.
However, that was just a fleeting thought, but now the scene in front of him seems to have confirmed this conjecture.
Emperor Shitian realized something was wrong and fiercely punched out, however, despite Emperor Shitian's soul being thousands of years old, he didn't understand the practice of soul cultivation. The ability to project his soul was entirely due to the Phoenix Blood's power, and he couldn't match up to Li Xiu's powerful force field.
It was as if he had hit a hard iron wall, Emperor Shitian's punch didn't shake it at all. Fear appeared on his face and he turned to flee towards his body, but before he could go far, he was stopped by Li Xiu's force field again.
Li Xiu's force field had trapped him, and Emperor Shitian's heart cooled down instantly. He couldn't understand why using the Shocking Catastrophe had worked on Li Xiu's soul but using the Catastrophe of the Gods had put himself in such a predicament.
Li Xiu didn't say much either, to avoid any more changes, he directly began attacking Emperor Shitian's soul with his force field.
"Don't kill me! Let me return to my body, I'm willing to give you the Phoenix Blood!"
Emperor Shitian shouted in shock and fear, begging for mercy with a sincere expression.
But Li Xiu paid no attention and with just a single strike of his force field, he smashed a hole in Emperor Shitian's soul, causing him to cry out in pain and anguish.
Then, Li Xiu grabbed with his hand and squeezed with his force field, crushing Emperor Shitian's soul into countless scattered light spots.
Li Xiu walked through the hole and into the room, seeing the corpse of Emperor Shitian lying on the ground.
He thought about the vibrations he had felt during the battle and couldn't help but sigh. If Emperor Shitian had not separated his soul to use the Catastrophe of the Gods, relying on his undying Phoenix blood body, it is likely that this battle would have lasted longer even if he had the upper hand or even let Emperor Shitian find an opportunity to escape. Unfortunately, with a slight mistake, Emperor Shitian died in such a sudden and ridiculous way.
Li Xiu shook his head, using his force field to hold Emperor Shitian's corpse in mid-air, brutally crushing it until it was in tatters and extracting a thick, bright red and vibrant blood.
Holding the Phoenix blood in his hand, a sweet aroma slowly entered his nose. To prevent the Phoenix blood's divine essence from being lost, Li Xiu tilted his head back and swallowed several mouthfuls, immediately consuming all the Phoenix blood. However, he did not immediately start devouring it, as there was still a war waiting for him to finish in this imperial city and he currently did not have that much time.
Li Xiu flew into the sky, his figure towering high, his eyes fixed on the city gates of the imperial city as he flew swiftly towards them.
