Sword of the Severed Sky
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Countless golden swords fell from the sky, piercing through Grand Duke Gamos' body in an instant like a cage. The swords, dragging chains, and with an unstoppable force, embedded their hilts into the ground, nearly toppling the Grand Duke's massive form.
Spiritual power, under the golden swords of the embodiment of law, was continuously dissolved like ice and snow.
Gamos was slightly astonished.
Even his body, the wounds caused by the golden swords seemed to lose some of their sensitivity to spiritual power—not just spiritual power, but it was as if some original sin-like thing entwining him was directly eradicated by this force.
"An inquisitor of the old era, you can still communicate with Beccaria's criminal contract..."
Astonishing.
Gamos roughly understood that this woman in front of him was probably already prepared to die and drag him down to hell together.
So that's it, if she truly had Beccaria's contract, then she could indeed attempt to annihilate him.
The power of the inquisitor, against his massive body, could easily inflict considerable damage and even drag him out of the spiritual realm.
"Maybe, if I gave you more time, you could indeed do it."
But right now, it's not enough!
Gamos still reached out and grabbed Alexia, squeezing her hard and slamming her to the ground.
Now.
Alexia's spine hit the ground. A mere thirty meters was far from lethal for the physically strong people of the old era, but the Grand Duke's powerful grasp just now caused evil spiritual energy to surge into her body, her internal organs filled with ice, and frost rapidly covered her body at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Spiritual power erosion.
A shaman's spell damage capability is simpler and more brutal compared to that of a medium. They only need to hit others with spiritual power to steal their body heat, and on this basis, as long as they inject spiritual power into the opponent's body, they can continuously lower their life force.
Humans are, after all, humans. As long as body temperature drops below 20 degrees, the hypothalamus can no longer regulate temperature, blood pressure stops, organs fail, and death is inevitable, even for a transcendent. The better the physical constitution and willpower of a transcendent, the more brutal the pain they endure in the process of freezing to death. Their consciousness will more clearly perceive the departure of life, and that moment of pain, as if piercing, squeezing, and draining every cell in the body, will continue until they transform into a spiritual being, wandering the mortal world until the soul dissipates.
She couldn't move for the moment, but Alexia didn't hesitate. As soon as the violent impact ended, she immediately shouted to the sky:
"Aozi!"
Alexia didn't need to remind him; Li Aozi had already changed his course, striking out instantly. The pods on his arms opened, emitting a dazzling array of light.
This was his only chance. If he couldn't win in one strike, he wouldn't be able to handle so many enemies on his own.
All the Omega Energy he possessed was gathered here. The crystal katana in his hand, filled with Omega Energy, was completely engulfed and disappeared.
[Gravity • Contact]—Stack
The gravitational field expanded to its maximum.
[Sever Life]—Stack
The extended tentacles instantly entwined the spirits of two evil ghosts, dragging them directly toward Li Aozi, where they were frenziedly devoured, drained into spiritual essence.
[Soul Engraver Sword Saint • Battle Ghost]—Stack
The dark purple resentment aura coiled around the long sword like a banner, the warrior behind him materializing and fully enveloping Li Aozi's body.
[Eternal Blood]—Stack
Flesh rapidly regenerated, covering him with armor and forming stable connections.
[Armor of Mountains]—Stack
The obsidian armor was once again covered with layers of rock, elongating into a flattened structure in high-speed motion.
[Natural Ignition]—Stack
Raging flames surged, and within the fiery blaze, the sound of a violent white explosion faintly echoed.
'...What a pity.'
Accompanied by the mournful sigh of the Zantō blade's soul, gravity flung Li Aozi's figure high into the sky, dragging a series of Mach rings straight to the firmament.
The system panel popped up a prompt. Li Aozi subconsciously glanced at it, unable to speak due to his high-speed flight, but his pupils instantly contracted.
[Hmm? This skill can actually be synthesized like this—]
Ding—
In the blink of an eye, a striking red line briefly severed the red-black Calamity clouds.
In that instant, it seemed as though people saw a vast, infinite dark blue sky filled with unknown morning stars.
People who had never seen anything in the sky besides red-black clouds and the artificial sun were instantly stunned.
They stared at the distant horizon, and that deep, unknown void brought tears to their eyes unconsciously.
"Is that... the starry sky?"
The Grand Duke, trapped on the ground, trembled all over, using lightning to shatter the chains. As he turned his head, a red beam pierced through his forehead.
The Grand Duke's body froze in place, while the meteoric force that tore through the sky smashed into a mountain in the distance, instantly piercing through a 600-meter-high mountain and raising a fireball on the ground far brighter than the artificial sun.
The roaring explosion resounded across the land, causing the entire city of Speya to tremble violently. The surging shockwave swept across the ground, stirring up a snowstorm and sand tide dozens of meters high within the city.
"This is... six-in-one."
Li Aozi crashed through the mountain and fell into the lake. The intense heat evaporated the lake water, forming a torrential downpour in the air.
He struggled to climb out of the meteor crater on the ground, his body nearly burned to ashes. The ability of [Eternal Blood] activated, causing the remaining cells to rapidly regenerate, reconnecting the broken bones. The pain all over his body nearly caused him to pass out.
In the distance, the Grand Duke, after receiving his attack, stood still. Even from dozens of kilometers away, his towering figure could be seen slowly melting and disintegrating under the violent heat, drifting into the air like black butterflies.
"Qiuran, your Omega Energy... the destructive power is truly terrifying..."
Li Aozi collapsed on the ground, his entire body trembling.
Although he had anticipated that Qiuran's Omega Energy, when stacked together, would have an extremely terrifying destructive power, he never imagined that the six-in-one could have such a degree of destructive capability.
It was only at this moment that he slowly raised his head, gazing at the 'scar' in the sky that had yet to heal for a long time. Within that Calamity wound, a deep dark void emerged, along with a star abyss that captivated the soul.

[The tyrant's end, his crimes and history will be buried in the azure mountains, unworthy of mention to outsiders.]
[Main quest: "Roar of Freedom" has met the initial settlement conditions]
The system prompts slowly refreshed at the edge of his vision. Besides the message of the terrifying amount of damage inflicted on the Grand Duke, at the top of the series of data, the name of the skill that tore the sky was calmly displayed :
"The Broken Sky Sword of Moffedria"
