Po Kong had once roughly calculated that, provided it didn't interfere with his daily life, it would take about eight to ten days to barely recharge the energy for a single use of this sword.
With his strength, the total amount of battle qi he could condense in ten days was no small sum, and at such a cost, the power this greatsword could unleash was far beyond that of any ordinary attack.
According to Po Kong's estimation, even when unleashed through his hands, it would definitely be no weaker than the strongest strike of a Saint Rank expert, making it the most powerful attack their four-person team could produce.
However, to maximize the benefit of this strike, Po Kong had to lure Ming Ye in, making him believe that he was already powerless to fight back.
Thus, after releasing two consecutive fierce attacks, he quickly restrained his battle qi and secretly transferred it into the weapon within his body, cleverly creating the illusion of physical exhaustion.
Even a veteran powerhouse like Ming Ye, with a thousand years of cultivation, never expected a junior to dare adopt such a bold strategy during their confrontation.
However, just as high risk often comes with high rewards, Po Kong's War God battle qi, bolstered by the Divine Artifact, had now completely engulfed Ming Ye.
This was no ordinary attack. The damage dealt by the War God battle qi was more like countless tiny cracks raging inside his body, frantically devouring Ming Ye's physical form and completely dissolving his original battle qi, giving him no chance to recover.
“A Divine Artifact... how interesting!” The mysterious person, standing within the thick black mist, spoke in a shocked voice for the first time as he stared at the dazzling golden sword light.
“It seems you truly possess the ability to defeat a Saint Rank, but... I cannot simply watch Ming Ye die...”
With that, the mysterious person swiped his large hand, batting away the arrows fired by Xia Duo, before his figure blurred as he sped toward the massive crater nearby.
At the very moment the mysterious person was distracted, Starlight decisively issued instructions to his companions through the soul link.
“Now! This is our chance!”
With a wave of his hands, countless colorful light orbs instantly appeared in the air.
They contained elemental energy that seemed ready to overflow, and their slightly trembling forms suggested that even the slightest touch would trigger an explosion of staggering power.
While Starlight had been dodging earlier, he had secretly planted a massive number of elemental bombs in the surrounding space.
He had cleverly covered the outer layers of these bombs with a thin film of light elements. With a simple adjustment, he could strip them of their color, making them transparent and nearly impossible to detect.
After releasing the elemental bombs, Starlight continued to hide them within spatial rifts using space magic. The reason he had been constantly using instant movement was to use the disturbance of those teleports to mask the traces of these spells.
Furthermore, since the duplicate of Ming Ye was constructed entirely from death power, it lacked a physical body and an awareness of its environment, making it completely unable to predict his movements.
Coupled with the mysterious person's contempt for them and Xia Duo's constant harassment from the flank, the opponent failed to notice these small maneuvers. In reality, a dragnet had long since been laid across the entire area.
Just as the mysterious person prepared to leave his position to rescue Ming Ye, Starlight released all the hidden elemental bombs without hesitation and prepared to detonate them.
The moment he was intercepted by the countless bombs, the mysterious person reacted immediately.
He naturally understood that if Starlight wanted to control so many magic traps simultaneously, his own defenses would be at their lowest point.
In such a state, a mage who hadn't even reached the Saint Rank couldn't possibly withstand an attack from the duplicate of Ming Ye. As long as the caster was eliminated, all the problems would be solved.
But just when he thought victory was assured, Starlight simply reached out a hand and gave a wave. An invisible spatial blade accurately sliced through the duplicate's waist.
Through the previous combat, Noah had already locked onto the location of the duplicate's core. Although this core moved constantly, it could not escape his tracking.
Death power is essentially superior to ordinary basic elements, causing common elemental magic to pale in comparison and be ruthlessly suppressed when facing it.
However, space magic, a power that also transcends the realm of basic elements, possesses the extraordinary ability to bisect a body formed from death power.
Moreover, space magic is extremely difficult to learn. For an average mage to be able to use a spell like instant movement in battle is already considered a sign of immense talent.
The mysterious person never expected that Starlight would not only display an extraordinary affinity for the basic elements but also hide the fact that he possessed offensive space magic until now.
In perfect coordination with Noah, that incredibly sharp spatial blade accurately pierced the hidden core in the duplicate's waist.
Once it lost the support of its core, the duplicate, constructed entirely of death power, could no longer maintain its form and rapidly dissipated into a grey mist.
At the same time, Starlight clenched his other hand. The elemental bombs in the air simultaneously received the command and exploded.
At the moment of the explosion, multicolored lights intertwined to form a breathtakingly brilliant scene, but hidden behind this beauty was a destructive force.
Amidst the interplay of light and shadow, the entire space was torn apart. Powerful waves of energy surged and spread outward from the center of the explosion.
The energy within the elemental bombs, each containing vastly different powers, was completely released at this moment, creating a carnival of elemental collisions.
Fire elements erupted into raging flames, water elements transformed into towering waves, wind elements whipped up gales as sharp as blades, and earth elements shattered into countless fragments. Meanwhile, light and dark elements wove blurred illusions in the air, hiding terrifying power beneath the beautiful display.
Massive amounts of elemental power fused and agitated within the explosion, forming complex and ever-changing energy flows that darted and collided in the air with deafening roars.
The shockwave generated by the explosion swept up everything in the vicinity. Dust from the ground and mist from the air were sent flying by this force, creating a chaotic ocean of debris.
As the caster, Starlight immediately moved Xia Duo and Moen to a safe location, watching the center of the explosion with rapt attention.
Although the chain reaction triggered by the traps displayed incredible destructive power, Starlight didn't believe for a second that this magic could kill a Saint Rank expert of unknown strength.
Sure enough, just as Starlight expected, when the deafening roar of the explosion gradually subsided, the dark figure reappeared, hovering in mid-air amidst the slowly settling dust.
However, this time, the thick, ink-like dark aura surrounding it had significantly weakened, clearly indicating it had taken considerable damage.
“Moen, Xia Duo! It's up to you now!”
