Chapter 5301 Breakthrough in the Fight
David struggled under the relentless onslaught, his injuries worsening.
The golden holy light burned his flesh like a leech, scorching it wherever it touched. If not for the evil spirit’s repressive power, he would have passed out long ago.
However, the glint in his eyes grew sharper. Although Wang Shengguang’s attack was powerful, it also deepened his understanding of the workings of divine power, and his Dragon Slaying Sword counterattacks became increasingly accurate.
“Swish!”
David seized an opening in Wang Shengguang’s attack. Like a venomous snake emerging from its burrow, the Dragon Slaying Sword slashed through the gaps in his golden armor, sending a ray of evil spirit through the wound and into Wang Shengguang’s body.
Wang Shengguang groaned, his breathing became erratic for a moment, and the golden light on his body dimmed slightly.
“You are looking for death!”
Wang Shengguang was shocked and furious. He never imagined that his holy body would be eroded by an evil spirit.
He slammed his palm into David’s chest, sending him flying. He simultaneously channeled his spiritual energy to exorcise the evil spirit within him, his expression darkening.
The two men pulled away again, both panting.
David’s left arm was twisted awkwardly, clearly broken. His shirt was stained red, and blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth.
Wang Shengguang was in slightly better condition, but his armor still bore some sword marks, and the light wings on his back were damaged. His aura felt much more unstable than before.
Outside the Hall of Sacred Light, all the disciples of the Sacred Light Sect stood dumbfounded.
Their leader, who was revered as a god, had been reduced to this state by a cultivator from the Invisible Immortal realm.
Hu Mazi, in despair, was about to storm in, but Mo Chen held him back firmly. “Don’t be impulsive! Entering now will only hinder David!”
“But if you continue like this, David will tire himself to death!” Hu Mazi said urgently.
Mo Chen remained silent, his gaze fixed on the figure in the hall, a glimmer of determination flashing in his eyes. If David truly couldn’t hold on, he was willing to risk his life for a glimmer of hope.
In his heart, Wang Shengguang felt the chaotic spiritual energy within his body and the evil energy eroding his meridians. For the first time, a glimmer of fear appeared in his eyes.
He looked at David and suddenly grinned. “Amazing! Excellent! It’s been a long time since I’ve met such a formidable opponent! In return, I’ll show you my true strength!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Shengguang’s aura began to fluctuate wildly.
The previously dim golden light shone again, even more intense than before. The runes on its six pairs of wings seemed to come to life, spinning wildly.
The surrounding space rippled, and an even more terrifying pressure spread out. The spiritual energy from the entire Plain of Sacred Light gathered here.
“He… he’s going to break through?!” Mo Chen’s face changed drastically, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Wang Shengguang, who had remained at the peak of the eighth level of the Earthly Immortal Realm for decades, had actually reached the threshold of the ninth level in a fierce battle against David!
David’s pupils constricted. He could clearly feel the power within Wang Shengguang’s body growing exponentially, the divine power becoming increasingly pure and terrifying.
He gritted his teeth, forcing himself to endure the pain, channeling all his remaining spiritual energy and murderous aura into the Dragon Slayer Sword, preparing for the next storm.
“About—”
The golden light radiating from Wang Shengguang reached its peak, and the six pairs of wings behind him fully spread out, covering most of the Hall of Sacred Light.
He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze devoid of human emotion, only cold majesty.
“Ninth Level of the Earthly Immortal Realm… Finally!”
Wang Shengguang, feeling a surge of power surge through him, let out a long, joyful roar. “David, witnessing my breakthrough is enough for you to rest in peace!”
He stepped forward, his figure immediately disappeared.
The warning echoed loudly within David, and he instinctively held the Dragon Slayer Sword to his back.
