Kuo Sang's laughter echoed, and at this moment, his blade swung horizontally, forcibly stopping his retreating form.

"Hehehe, then let's have a good fight! Blood Devouring Clan, Devouring Prison!" With that, Kuo Sang's scythe swung forward once more, directly facing the rapidly approaching Shio Yu!

At that moment, a mysterious Power of Death suddenly spread from Kuo Sang's body, and simultaneously, a gigantic, blurred shadow rose from him.

Standing between heaven and earth, it seemed eternally unchanged, overlooking all beings, exuding an overpoweringly intense death aura!

"Good!" Upon seeing this enormous shadow manifest and sensing the intense death aura in front of him, the young lord of the Blood Clan, Shio Yu, unexpectedly shouted, "Good!"

At that very moment, Shio Yu's figure suddenly shot diagonally upward, charging straight toward the gigantic blurred shadow.

"Death Reincarnation Slash!" At this precise moment, a low shout emerged from Kuo Sang's mouth.

He raised his scythe high, then furiously slashed downwards.

As Kuo Sang moved, the gigantic blurred shadow mirrored his action, wielding a similarly scythe-like massive battle weapon, carrying earth-shattering power, fiercely smashing down towards the diagonally ascending Shio Yu.

It was as if a black mountain descended, instantly crashing down.

"Kill!" Shio Yu shouted in response, his Blood-colored Longsword moving, stabbing diagonally upwards, quickly clashing violently with the massive blurry black object.

"Boom!" A violent explosion echoed throughout the heavens and earth, and the space began to boil and tumble once more.

Under the watchful eyes of all, Shio Yu used his Blood-colored Longsword to withstand the fierce strike from that massive black object.

Shio Yu's figure immediately halted in midair, his pale face remaining cold, his long hair wildly dancing in the wind.

Clearly, the clash between Shio Yu and Kuo Sang resulted in a draw at this moment!

"Kuo Sang actually wrestled to a draw with Shio Yu with this strike! Kuo Sang's shadow is truly powerful!"

"Yes! Kuo Sang is merely at the Seven-star Demigod Realm! Shio Yu, on the other hand, is a Nine-star Extreme Realm genius!"

...

"Ah!" Immediately after, the living beings from various clans heard a loud roar erupting from the Heavenly Pride Arena.

This roar came from Kuo Sang!

Beneath the roar, the gigantic blurry shadow suddenly quivered, and the mysterious massive weapon clashing with Shio Yu's Blood Sword suddenly shone with an incomparably bright black light.

"Hmm?" Sensing the sudden change in the shadow and seeing that dazzling black light, Shio Yu's pale, cold expression finally shifted at that moment.

And immediately, the object shining with dazzling black light suddenly unleashed an incredibly powerful force, and then forcefully pressed down, violently striking towards the ground of the Heavenly Pride Arena with Shio Yu.

Under everyone's gaze, they witnessed Shio Yu's form being engulfed by the dazzling black light, and then that object shining with dazzling black light fiercely smashed onto the ground.

"Boom!" An incredibly violent explosive sound reverberated, shaking the entire Heavenly Pride Arena and clan viewing platforms as if an earthquake had hit the battlefield.

"This..."

"This..."

"Did Shio Yu just lose like this?"

"Shio Yu lost? How is that possible!"

"But...but Shio Yu was swallowed by the black light and then hammered to the ground with such ferocious power!"

As they watched the battle unfold on the arena, stunned cries erupted again across the clan view platforms.

They observed that the immensely powerful Nine-star Demigod Realm genius Shio Yu faced such a ferocious strike!

And under the overwhelming power of the previous strike, it seemed that no living being could possibly survive.

Among the clan view platforms, even those experts whose Realm reached Eight-star Demigod felt a troubling force after that blow.

"Shio Yu! Blood Devouring Clan Shio Yu! Truly impressive!" At this point, Shi Feng of the Ancient Corpse Clan uttered such words.

"Hmm?" Upon hearing Shi Feng's remark, Miss Shii Wu's faintly beautiful face shifted once again, turning to Shi Feng. She said, "Are you saying Shio Yu didn't die from Kuo Sang's strike?"

As she said this, the other Ancient Corpse Clan youths also focused their gazes on Shi Feng, awaiting his answer.

They too had doubts in their hearts about the fate of Shio Yu under Kuo Sang's overwhelming attack—was he alive or dead?

Hearing Shii Wu's words, Shi Feng smiled casually and replied, "You underestimate Shio Yu greatly! Not only is he alive, he's completely unscathed! Shio Yu is very strong!"

"What! Completely unscathed?"

...

"Haha, hahahaha! Hahahaha!" Among these sounds, a joyous laugh suddenly echoed from the Heavenly Pride Arena.

When many heard this laughter, their expressions shifted once more, for they recognized it as Shio Yu's voice!

"Shii Fan was right! Shio Yu is indeed alive!" Miss Shii Wu remarked. Nowadays, she's becoming much more convinced of Shi Feng's words.

...

"Hahaha, how joyful!" The laughter continued: "Kuo Sang, you're indeed a worthy opponent! But if that's all there is to you, then soon you'll meet your end!"

"Then let's see if you, Shio Yu, have the skill to kill me, Kuo Sang!" Upon hearing Shio Yu's laughter, Kuo Sang responded with a cold shout.

At that moment, Kuo Sang raised his long-handled scythe high and again slashed fiercely downward.

The mysterious weapon shining with dazzling black light, hammered down on the ground, now violently trembled.

Kuo Sang seemed to have unleashed an even stronger attack, intending to crush Shio Yu with the power of that shadow.

"Break!" At that moment, an icy voice suddenly resounded.

Immediately following, "Boom!" An incredibly intense explosive roar thundered!

The massive mysterious weapon shining with dazzling black light erupted open, transforming into countless fragments of black light.

These shattered black lights continued vanishing from the Heavenly Pride Arena.

Amid the fragments, a blood-colored figure appeared intermittently.

At this moment, "Uh!" A painful groan escaped from Kuo Sang's skeletal mouth, his form suddenly retreating rapidly once more.
