Where there is light, there are shadows.
The moment he used his flame ability, large shadows were created.
And these shadows could be directly manipulated by the Dark Starry Sky.
When flames erupted in front of him, vast expanses of absolute shadow would form behind him.
The Dark Starry Sky was using these shadows to launch attacks against him.
Dalun Li quickly analyzed and understood the Dark Starry Sky's ability.
The Dark Starry Sky dove from the sky once more.
Dalun Li gripped his greatsword and shield, facing the descending enemy.
If that was the case...
"Burning Domain!"
In an instant, every tree within the space began to burn.
Endless fire filled the palace, dispelling every shadow.
The diving Dark Starry Sky quickly folded his bat wings, trying to change direction.
However, it was already too late.
Dalun Li leaped into the air, his greatsword slashing down.
Relying on the ability of the Wellmouth Greatsword, he directly cut off the Dark Starry Sky's attempt to turn.
Forced to raise his blade in defense, the Dark Starry Sky was sent crashing into the sea of flames.
Dalun Li didn't let the opportunity pass; he gripped his sword tight and slashed downward, chasing his foe into the fire.
The Dark Starry Sky dodged rapidly amidst the flames, evading the heavy strike and thrusting his sword cane.
Dalun Li quickly braced his sword to block.
The sparks from the clashing blades were unremarkable within the inferno.
The Dark Starry Sky had no intention of getting into a protracted struggle.
In terms of endurance, he was no match for Dalun Li, who wielded the power of plants.
He retreated after a single strike, waving his hand to scatter a small patch of darkness.
Dalun Li froze; the Dark Starry Sky was right before his eyes, yet he stood rooted to the spot with his sword raised.
Even though the enemy was right there, it was as if he had lost his target.
Relying on his perception, he reacted quickly, realizing the Dark Starry Sky had activated Stealth once again.
He hurriedly stepped forward through the flames to give chase, his greatsword churning and tearing through the fire.
But he was still a step too late; the Dark Starry Sky had already flown back into the sky.
'Using air superiority?'
Dalun Li drew his bow and aimed at the sky.
The Dark Starry Sky looked down, his bat wings flapping as he dodged the arrow. He swung his sword cane downward, sending a pitch-black Sword Qi flying.
Dalun Li instantly switched to the Wellmouth Greatsword, slashing upward to meet the attack.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Purple Sword Qi and dark Sword Qi collided repeatedly in mid-air.
The burning flames flickered and swayed under the impact of the clashing energies.
The two of them exchanged blows from above and below, continuously unleashing Sword Qi.
However, compared to the dark Sword Qi, Dalun Li's toxic Sword Qi was slightly inferior.
Soon, his attacks were being suppressed from the sky.
As he dodged, he seamlessly switched his greatsword for his shield, blocking the remaining Sword Qi.
Clang! Clang! Clang!!
The Sword Qi struck the Eternal Imprisonment Sword-Shield repeatedly, the impact being shared evenly across the shield and Dalun Li's entire body.
Dalun Li stayed behind the shield, searching for an opening with his Clairvoyance.
At the same time, he remained wary of the Dark Starry Sky's Stealth.
Whenever that concealment activated, he felt like an idiot; it was incredibly frustrating.
But the opponent's Stealth likely couldn't be used during an attack.
That made sense; it would be far too broken if he could forget the enemy while they were actively attacking him.
The Dark Starry Sky continued to unleash a barrage of Sword Qi.
Dalun Li calculated the intervals between the attacks, seizing a momentary gap to switch back to his bow!
A Crescent Arrow flew out, transforming into a half-moon Sword Qi that slashed straight ahead.
The Dark Starry Sky held his sword cane horizontally, parrying the attack with a heavy swing.
Dalun Li took the opportunity to stomp on the ground, and the burning branches grew rapidly, transforming into massive flaming wooden spears that thrust into the sky.
The Dark Starry Sky flapped his bat wings, darting away to dodge.
But in the next second, more flaming wood spikes shot into the air, one after another.
The entire sea of fire finally revealed its true purpose.
Neither Stealth nor ambushes worked on the Dark Starry Sky.
So, Dalun Li relied on the sea of fire to honestly charge his flaming wooden spears.
This wasn't a hidden attack or an ambush.
The flames were simply burning so brightly that the Dark Starry Sky hadn't noticed them.
Therefore, he wouldn't sense the danger.
Dalun Li raised his greatsword high. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Flames exploded continuously as countless burning wooden spears were fired toward the Dark Starry Sky.
With nowhere to hide, the Dark Starry Sky gripped his sword cane with both hands.
Fierce dark Sword Qi lashed out with every swing, shattering the incoming flaming wooden spears one by one.
Raging fire splashed in all directions.
"Grow!"
Dalun Li exerted his full power, and a terrifying number of wooden spears grew, caught fire, and shot upward.
The Dark Starry Sky was completely suppressed.
Dalun Li gave it his all, not daring to leave a single opening.
He was afraid the enemy would use Stealth again and turn him into a fool to escape the attack.
He himself leaped into the air.
The Dark Starry Sky naturally noticed Dalun Li's movement; after all, Stealth was meaningless before him.
He shattered the flaming wooden spears in front of him, finding a momentary gap in the suppression to aim at Dalun Li and scatter darkness.
However, Dalun Li had anticipated this. His arms surged with power as he violently threw the Wellmouth Greatsword, then froze in mid-air.
The Dark Starry Sky, having activated Stealth, tried to dodge.
But the spinning Wellmouth Greatsword slashed right in front of him.
Though it was only a minor whirlwind strike, the special effect of the Wellmouth Greatsword made it impossible for him to dodge.
He could only swing his sword to meet it head-on.
Upon blocking the attack, Dalun Li immediately regained his senses and charged toward the Dark Starry Sky again.
The sky full of flaming spears thrust forward once more.
The Dark Starry Sky ignored the spears and thrust violently at Dalun Li.
Dalun Li quickly summoned the Eternal Imprisonment Sword-Shield to block the attack. Simultaneously, his other hand reached into the void; a leaf flashed and transformed into a leaf-shaped short blade.
Hundred-Leaf Blade, slash!
As the Hundred-Leaf Blade struck toward the Dark Starry Sky, he pulled back his sword cane to block it.
The short blade clashed with the sword cane.
In an instant, the ability of the Hundred-Leaf Blade activated, and countless leaf-shaped Sword Qi swarmed out, sweeping across the Dark Starry Sky's entire body.
As the attack landed, the Dark Starry Sky's defense was weakened.
Gripping his sword cane and feeling his diminished defense, the Dark Starry Sky slashed at Dalun Li.
Dalun Li raised his shield to withstand the blow, and as he was knocked toward the sea of flames on the ground, he swung his arm heavily.
"Release!"
A devastating number of flaming wooden spears were fired simultaneously at the Dark Starry Sky in the sky.
The Dark Starry Sky folded his bat wings, his sword cane becoming a blur as his dark Sword Qi wove an absolute domain.
However, the flaming wooden spears had no tricks.
It was pure overwhelming mass, round after round of relentless bombardment crashing into the Dark Starry Sky.
Fire and destruction ravaged the space.
Intense heat licked every corner of the area.
The power erupting at this moment would make any extraordinary being tremble.
The continuous bombardment lasted for a long time before slowly subsiding.
By now, the entire palace was in ruins.
Ashes and unextinguished embers covered the ground.
Dalun Li stood and walked step by step toward the center of the bombardment.
He reached out his hand.
A charred vine coiled around the Wellmouth Greatsword, delivering it to Dalun Li as he advanced.
With the Wellmouth Greatsword in one hand, he waved his other arm toward the sky, and the Eternal Imprisonment Sword-Shield appeared in his grip.
In the center of the bombardment, only a remnant remained.
He raised his greatsword and delivered a finishing blow to the remnant.
