Infinite Slaughter System: I Kill, Therefore I Ascend!-Chapter 224: The Finals, Li Ling versus Bai Yegui - End!
A huge wave of silvery electricity that possessed the malevolent Yin aura of decay surged around the entire domain, crackling crazily as it seemed to jump from invisible node to invisible node, covering the entire area completely!
Li Ling raised an eyebrow. "Combating the domain by filling it up with a destructive attack? Not a bad idea, but if domains could be resolved so simply, they wouldn't be so hard to achieve."
To prove this, Li Ling smiled and pointed a finger upward, causing the thrashing Yin Thunder to surge around the domain freely without being able to touch a hair on his head, avoiding him as if he were the plague.
With a chuckle, Li Ling then made another hand movement and the spread-out Yin Thunder suddenly trembled and bent, quickly binding together to form a long band of light that circled around the edges of the domain like lines on an electric fence.
Seeing one of his strongest attacks being tamed by his opponent, Bai Yegui's calm expression finally faltered, for even if Li Ling was able to resist it, he shouldn't be this powerful!
Suddenly, Li Ling looked at Bai Yegui and saw his ugly expression, a cruel light flashing in his eyes. "Old Bai, don't tell me you've run out of methods? If that's the case, let me end this fight here, because I still have things to do after this little game of ours!"
Before Bai Yegui could respond or claim otherwise, Li Ling jumped up lightly, allowing the Asura Reaper Spear to fly beneath him as he placed his feet on its shaft. The next moment, the young man shot up into the sky, standing at the very edge of the arena formation's skyward boundary, glancing down at his foe, who was like a bigger ant compared to the others thanks to his full-body Hungry Ghost Avatar.
Standing there, Li Ling began to speak, and his voice easily carried down to the ears of all listeners below as they craned their necks upward to look at him with varied expressions.
"Tsk, tsk, Old Bai. You know, I kind of like you, because I thought you would be a suitable rival for me, the Vegeta to my Goku, the Sasuke to my Naruto. But who knew that it's already the third realm and you've run out of steam, not even able to match me using less than 20% of my full power?"
Li Ling's eyes flashed with malevolence as he spoke in a deep tone. "Just like that useless Bei Dongshi, what's the point of keeping the two of you around?"
Bai Yegui felt his heart tremble because he knew the moment of truth was coming up. He never harbored any illusion that Li Ling would not try to kill him just because of their previous battle; he had deeply come to understand the nature of this madman during this entire tournament.
"You've died and come back before, so let's shaft you into the DB world. Since we're in the DB world, then I will use the extinction-level attack of the Frost Demon Clan Emperor of the Universe!" Li Ling said, which sounded weird and cryptic to listeners below, but the young man didn't care if they understood, as he was saying it mostly for himself.
Rather, he lifted his right hand upward with his index finger outstretched, as if pointing to the sky. Many people below were confused about what exactly this meant or what he was doing until a huge surge of elemental energy rushed upward, causing the temperature around the arena to climb rapidly.
Above Li Ling's finger, a ball of condensed golden fire emerged, growing rapidly each second as if it were being pumped by an industrial air pump, surging to the size of a small town in mere seconds!
The faces of everyone below changed into ones of complete and abject horror, their pupils constricting to needlepoints while their hearts thumped loudly in their chests!
This was just like when Li Ling summoned the Star of Heaven's Fall, but there had been a suppressed immortal being willing to sacrifice itself to cancel out the attack at that time.
This time, it was only Bai Yegui, and whether he could withstand an attack of the magnitude that their senses were screaming at them was very unlikely!
Forget those in the lower paths who almost fainted from the threat of death; even those in the middle layer up to the peak of the fifth realm felt like their fates would be no different from those below, with only those at Dao Integration able to retain their calm, though their expressions were extremely grim.
But… that was only when the attack was at half power!
With a loud 'BUMPF' sound, the Li Fire Golden Sun swelled to twice its previous size, easily encompassing the entire Holy City in its purview and once again bringing great panic to everyone within, just minutes after the previous scare from the Star of Heaven's Fall.
Bai Yegui himself retained a forced expression of calmness, making a hand seal as he closed his eyes with a look of finality.
"Yin Seal: Flesh Exchange."
Immediately, the young man's flesh began to shrivel up and reduce, his already thin and bony body becoming like a dried raisin, as if squeezed of every bit of flesh and blood within. Some, like Bai Ruyi who had seen the aftermath of her fellow yang-sucking demoness' handiwork, felt that Bai Yegui looked worse than some of those victims at this moment. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Did the fellow kill himself, committing suicide out of fear?
However, the next moment, the Hungry Ghost Avatar seemed to roar with a voice for the first time, its ethereal body actually greatly solidifying physically, developing genuine flesh and blood, practically becoming what was the equivalent of a giant warrior.
Its spear and shield also trembled and gained solidity, becoming actual high-grade weapons that could even tear through entire mountain ranges in one sweep!
From above, Li Ling saw this and his eyes gleamed with interest as he laughed. "That's your trump card? It's actually quite good. It would have been enough to break my domain and fight me head-on with a chance of victory!"
Then, the young man thrust his entire hand down, sending the Li Fire Golden Sun hurtling downward toward the arena!
"But it's not enough! If you can survive this, I will consider sparing your life for old times' sake, Old Bai!" Li Ling roared as he sent the attack downward, his eyes gleaming with excitement at the carnage he was about to cause!
Bai Yegui saw the huge ball of flame coming down and did not leap upward to meet it, for he was not as suicidal as the previous Underworld Lower Judge. Rather, he planted his feet firmly on the ground and aimed to leverage the force of the earth as well as the arena's formations to help him repel this apocalyptic-level attack.
He first had the Hungry Ghost Avatar thrust out its three-pronged spear that was coated in a thick veil of Yin Energy, along with the condensed form of his Perfected Yin Thunder, striking out toward the incoming Li Fire Golden Sun!
Bai Yegui held nothing back in this strike, emptying out his entire dantian and squeezing out even some of his life force and potential into this attack, making its power actually surge beyond its level and rank!
The tip of the spear and the edge of the Li Fire Golden Sun connected the next moment, and the world exploded into a white light!
KRAKOOM!
The sound came next, and it instantly ruptured all eardrums below the third level of body refinement, causing blood to leak out from the ears of disciples and spectators in copious amounts.
Then came the shockwave, which caused the arena formation to crack severely, barely held together by the Divine Deva Overseer!
Then came the heatwave, which shattered the arena formation under the fearful and terrified eyes of the Divine Deva Overseer, who could barely protect himself as he was engulfed and sent flying, crashing into the side of the arena, his life and death unknown!
The disciples in the arena were now exposed to the aftermath of the attack and many cried out in horror because they knew death was upon them, but a shield of energy formed before them as the Dao Integration Sect Elders finally made a move and protected everyone, their faces grim to the extreme.
Finally, the aftermath died down after a full two minutes, and the crowd could see what happened in the arena as the Dao Integration elders used their might to clear the debris and dust away.
What they saw left them shocked, because the entire arena had been destroyed and reduced to a giant crater that was filled with magma, the Hungry Ghost Avatar nowhere to be seen!
Looking at the results of the apocalyptic Daoist art… could it be that Bai Yegui, one of the famous twin monsters of the lower paths and the one seen as equal to Li Ling, was finally dead?!
