"How... is this possible?!"

Lu Sheng was secretly startled, while a slight unease surged in his heart.

Now both of them were positioned at the array's core of the Soul Devouring Array, and as it recognized no master, it began to supply energy to both.

"Ssh..."

In the moment Lu Sheng was dazed, Chen Mo's toes moved slightly, his figure ghostly weaving, approaching with the Tang Blade in his hand cutting towards Lu Sheng as fast as lightning.

Lu Sheng instantly felt a chill in front of him. Although there is a saying that a longer weapon is stronger, once Chen Mo got close, Lu Sheng's Long Halberd instead lost its advantage.

But unlike Chen Mo, who honed his skills on wild paths, Lu Sheng was legitimately trained with a sect and lineage. Even though he rebelled against his sect, his experience in fighting strong opponents was certainly more than Chen Mo's.

Lu Sheng quickly dodged, and Chen Mo's strike cut through empty air.

Yet Chen Mo's reaction was swift, retracting the blade rapidly, pulling his elbow back, then suddenly thrusting the tip with a chilling gleam piercing towards Lu Sheng's eyes.

At this moment they were very close. Rich combat skills allowed Lu Sheng to instantly muster the power to kick at Chen Mo, while his body fell backward to evade Chen Mo's thrust.

"Ssh..."

Halfway through Chen Mo's strike, he realized the move wouldn't harm Lu Sheng, and continuing would instead invite a kick, so he immediately retracted the blade and leaped back, opening some distance, then unleashed a blade flash.

At the same time, as Lu Sheng's backward kick missed, he hit the ground with a palm upon landing. The blue brick shattered, and the energy surged upwards, prompting him to rise into the air. Facing Chen Mo's rapidly swinging blade beam, Lu Sheng could only hurriedly swing his Heaven-piercing Halberd, slashing out a golden light while his mind controlled the golden giant to strike back at Chen Mo.

"Boom!"

Two terrifying forces capable of destroying mountains and seas collided in the air, causing a massive commotion as wood chips and water mist exploded skyward. The movement was so large that the ground's blue bricks were uprooted, shooting in all directions.

The golden blade that Lu Sheng slashed out was a hasty response, directly shattered by Chen Mo's blade beam, the remaining force then fell upon Lu Sheng's horizontally blocked Heaven-piercing Halberd.

An ear-piercing "clang" echoed as sparks flew from the halberd's shaft, then with a "clang," the Heaven-piercing Halberd was snapped in two, the remaining force struck Lu Sheng's Protective Spiritual Qi, sending him flying away.

Lu Sheng did not fall to the ground in a disgraceful manner but steadied himself just as he landed, leaving a long mark on the muddy, brickless ground.

Just as he lifted his head, he heard a loud explosion.

Chen Mo gave him no chance, charging towards the still falling Lu Sheng after swinging a blade. By the time Lu Sheng landed and steadied himself, Chen Mo was already at his side.

Simultaneously, Chen Mo's forward rush also dodged the golden giant's back strike.

Chen Mo's Helical Slash aimed directly at Lu Sheng's waist and abdomen.

At this moment, Lu Sheng's hairs stood on end, hurriedly raising the half halberd to block, but it was cut through by Chen Mo's Tang Blade. As the blade edge neared his waist and abdomen, Lu Sheng grabbed with his bare hands.

The Protective Spiritual Qi was sliced open, and blood dripped from Lu Sheng's palm. The intense pain made Lu Sheng explode in an instant, and with a scream that seemed to tear his throat, he fiercely headbutted towards Chen Mo's head.

Chen Mo frowned, unwilling to compete with Lu Sheng on who had the harder head, quickly withdrew his blade and retreated.

Lu Sheng also loosened his grip appropriately, using his head to prevent Chen Mo from exerting more force, which might sever his hand.

Rustle rustle...

The wind and rain continued.

"Huff huff," Lu Sheng panted heavily, the pressure from Chen Mo not allowing him any more mercy. Especially since his own Divine Power was being rapidly consumed by Chen Mo's Divine Power.

He directly activated the Spirit Burning Profound Skill, and it was even the second level of the Spirit Burning Profound Skill.

Lu Sheng's aura rapidly surged, faster and more violently than what the Soul Devouring Array provided him.

With Chen Mo's realm, he felt the innate spiritual qi at the array's core converging toward Lu Sheng, even his own internal aura was being uncontrollably attracted, and even the air's wind and rain were being drawn by Lu Sheng.

A vast pressure like a mountain weighed down on him.

The blue bricks beneath his feet were the first to shatter, and his legs showed signs of bending.

The red number on Lu Sheng's forehead instantly skyrocketed to 5500 in this short moment and was still climbing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The originally ethereal golden giant became solid once more.

Lu Sheng's muscles bulged all over, his robe also shattered.

"Come," Lu Sheng shouted with his right hand open, and the solidified golden giant turned into a flow of golden energy, condensing into a golden Long Halberd in his open right hand.

The red number on his forehead turned into "5535+499" at this moment.

What is the Divine Transformation Realm? It allows one to conjure any form of power.

"To force me to use my full strength, you should be proud."

Feeling the surging power within, Lu Sheng's previous panic vanished instantly.

But facing the present Lu Sheng, Chen Mo showed not a hint of fear, and instead said coolly, "Is this your full strength?"

Lu Sheng: "???"

"Then, it's my turn..."

Suddenly, two flames burst from Chen Mo's eyes, tangible flames.

Above the Prime Minister's Mansion, the originally erratic gale suddenly turned to blow towards Lu Sheng's side. The freely falling dense raindrops accelerated into countless rain arrows, shooting towards the ground, drumming on the roof tiles with a crackling sound.
