------------------------------------------------------
After reaching a certain level, it seems that all powerful individuals have different ways of utilizing elemental forces.
Even those who don't cultivate elemental forces will still gain mastery over them through other means.
At this moment, the two streams of blade qi unleashed by the Crimson Mother overlapped, charging forward ferociously, colliding with Xu Yuan's Hunyuan Spear.
BANG!
The cosmic space exploded, and stellar forces surged wildly.
In this instant, it was as if the universe had been punctured, and the most primal and violent stellar forces from the depths of the cosmos rushed out, separating the two and forcing them backward.
Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Just now, he hadn't sensed any power from the plane.
Thus, the Crimson Mother had blocked his attack, which utilized a super divine artifact, without relying on the support of her plane.
Indeed, veteran half-step God Kings each had their own unique abilities.
Although the explosive power of the Crimson Mother combining her unique strength with elements was inferior to Xu Yuan's spear strike, somehow, she managed to block it.
Recalling the collision just now, Xu Yuan quickly analyzed a flood of thoughts in his mind.
Since achieving the rank of a half-step God King, he had only fought against Long Haochen, who was also just at an equivalent level. Therefore, Xu Yuan actually had very little experience in battles at the half-step God King level.
"It's the space here that's abnormal."
Xu Yuan immediately pinpointed the key issue.
The reason this spear strike didn't suppress the Crimson Mother wasn't due to insufficient power but rather because a 'third party' seemed to have intervened.
"When my spear collided with her blade qi, space shattered, and too much stellar force disrupted my attacking rhythm."
Was this common knowledge in the universe?
Xu Yuan didn't remember such a situation occurring after he previously caused destruction in cosmic space.
Therefore, the only possible explanation was that there was something wrong with the space here.
"She didn't mobilize the power of her plane, but it was as if she did."
Xu Yuan let out a sigh of relief.
If she could match his use of a super divine artifact solely with her own power, the Crimson Mother would be overwhelmingly strong.
Now it seemed she still relied on the power of the Crimson Realm.
Her not using plane reinforcement wasn't arrogance; she simply didn't have time.
Suddenly forced to act and suddenly clashing with Xu Yuan, she not only had to cancel the aftermath of her instinctive attack but also launch a new move, leaving no time to incorporate the plane's power.
However, she was experienced, splitting this collision into two phases—first resisting Xu Yuan's attack with her own strength while setting up the second phase.
This was a defensive technique.
Xu Yuan silently noted it.
In battle, borrowing the power of a plane or the heavens and earth doesn't necessarily mean enhancing oneself.
One's own endurance is limited, which might in turn restrict the power of heaven and earth.
Having gained insight, Xu Yuan raised his head and watched Yuan Kong and the others step forward to surround and attack the Crimson Mother.
The Crimson Mother showed no interest in prolonging the fight, intending to leave the battlefield after touching Xu Yuan once more.
She sensed the gap—it was a super divine artifact, something she couldn't directly contend with at this moment.
Holy Attraction.
Unfortunately, Xu Yuan gave her no chance to escape.
Being restrained by the Holy Attraction for the second time, the Crimson Mother finally accepted her fate.
There was no escape.
She couldn't flee forcefully.
Otherwise, being pulled by such a force, her instinctive attacks wouldn't handle the enemy well, and she'd have to cancel the aftermath, further affecting her battle rhythm.
What a terrifying power.
The Crimson Mother's blood-red eyes glared at Xu Yuan, filled with hatred.
All of today's losses would stem from this Xu Yuan.
Various divine artifacts appeared around her.
Yes, various divine artifacts.
Counting carefully, including the two crescent blades in her hands, there were a full ten divine artifacts!
Among these ten divine artifacts were two crescent blades and a deep red spear.
All emitted a homologous aura.
It seemed that these ten divine artifacts were all nurtured by the Crimson Mother.
Seeing this scene, Xu Yuan couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He guessed the Crimson Mother's intention.
She planned to separately condense super divine artifacts, using the perfect fusion of multiple divine artifacts to create super divine artifacts.
Moreover, quickly scanning these ten divine artifacts, Xu Yuan felt that what the Crimson Mother needed was certainly not just one super divine artifact.
She wanted to combine two super divine artifacts!
Greedy.
If it weren't for pursuing two super divine artifacts, she would have definitely succeeded by now.
With divine artifacts surrounding her, the Crimson Mother's eyes filled with hatred as she brought the two crescent blades in her hands together. She then held the deep red spear and pierced through the combined crescent blades.
Instantly, the three divine artifacts fused together, releasing a heart-stirring fluctuation.
Yuan Kong and the others seemed to have anticipated this, unleashing their respective techniques upon seeing it.
Spatial rifts, elemental storms, and life light.
The spatial rifts and elemental storms combined, surging toward the Crimson Mother, while the life light shone on Yuan Kong and Shi Potian, swiftly restoring their states to peak before retreating. Together with Xu Yuan, they surrounded the Crimson Mother from four directions.
Around the Crimson Mother, the remaining seven divine artifacts included five gem-like objects, now dispersing and resonating with the deep red halberd in her hand.
The entire Crimson Realm seemed to tremble.
Plane energy flooded into it.
BANG!
Cosmic space became chaotic, stellar forces surged, and the entire battlefield was filled with violent stellar energy.
Under the influence of the elemental storm, these stellar forces derived corresponding elemental attributes, turning the entire starry sky into a colorful elemental ocean.
The Crimson Mother didn't seize the opportunity to escape.
She knew there was no chance to hide until she dealt with Xu Yuan.
In other words, killing Xu Yuan was her only way to find cover.
She deeply understood that she absolutely couldn't win against three or four opponents.
To survive, she could only hide, and to hide now, she first had to deal with Xu Yuan!
With a clear goal, the Crimson Mother disregarded everything else.
The entire space was filled with turbulent stellar energy, even the spatial forces were dyed chaotic.
However, the Crimson Mother could still move freely through it.
When she reappeared, the five gems were already embedded in the deep red halberd in her hand.
By now, the halberd radiated a dangerous fluctuation, and its deep red power evolved into the familiar destructive force that Xu Yuan recognized.
From her body, the power of the Deep Red Plane emanated.
Combined with the halberd in her hand, at this moment, the Crimson Mother seemed to possess power surpassing that of an ordinary half-step God King.
The scent of destruction permeated the entire starry sky.
The halberd descended.
Xu Yuan wielded his spear to counter.
On the Hunyuan Spear, yin-yang energies circulated, the five elements united, and various powers fused, emitting a primordial force.
The spear and halberd clashed.
Vortices appeared on the surface of the spear.
Space smoothed out, no cracks appeared, and the chaotic stellar energy dissipated.
Xu Yuan revealed an expression of "so that's how it is."
Abyssal energy.
A familiar characteristic.
The Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd of the Abyssal Sage King possessed the characteristics of the abyss, ignoring all defenses.
The Crimson Mother mastered a more fundamental abyssal power, granting her attacks such properties naturally.
No wonder the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd of the Abyssal Sage King hadn't been confiscated.
However, even the abyssal power that ignored defenses was still suppressed when facing Xu Yuan's Hunyuan Spear.
Advancing with his spear, pressing down on the Crimson Mother, Xu Yuan drew out his large halberd again.
The purple-black large halberd emitted an aura similar to the Crimson Mother's power.
The large halberd thrust fiercely.
The Crimson Mother's pupils contracted, and numerous thoughts flashed through her mind.
It's Tian Shen!
Everything made sense.
At the same time, the Crimson Mother was secretly delighted.
It's the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd, we've got this!
