Before her voice faded, Fei Xiao had already turned into a fierce, azure gale and launched the first attack.
The battle-axe stirred up a tearing gale storm, slicing straight toward Xia Xuanchen, who appeared the most cumbersome.
"Boom—!"
Xia Xuanchen roared, his giant hammer, wrapped in ten thousand bolts of thunder and destructive energy, met the attack head-on.
The moment the hammer and axe clashed, a terrifying roar erupted, powerful enough to shatter mountains.
The Silver Hammer Douluo was forced to stagger backward, his arm-guard armor shattering inch by inch, revealing the muscle beneath, which was streaked with destructive golden blood. Yet, he had managed to withstand this strike.
At the same time, the attacks of the other three had arrived.
Luan Feng's Phoenix longsword unleashed a monstrous purple fire, the flames containing a destructive will that could burn souls, sweeping in from the left.
Wang Yiheng, like a savage beast, lowered his head and charged with his hideous bull horns. Where he passed, space twisted, and dark red flames scorched everything.
Liao Mengkai's figure was like a phantom. The long blade in his hand silently slashed toward Fei Xiao's back, the sharp glint on the blade causing subtle black lines to appear in the void.
Faced with the siege of four demigods, Fei Xiao surprisingly did not dodge or evade; the fighting spirit in her eyes grew even fiercer.
She let out a clear cry, and the Divine Spirit Flying Aureus let out a world-shaking neigh. The boundless power of the gale erupted centered around her, forming an enormous, sky-reaching azure cyclone.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Sword light, flames, and blade light almost simultaneously slammed into the gale cyclone, triggering a continuous, terrifying energy explosion.
The entire Pocket Dimension shook violently, its edges beginning to collapse, revealing the chaotic void outside.
Fei Xiao danced the battle-axe in the center of the cyclone. Each strike was simple, direct, and savage.
While swinging the axe, she also concentrated on projecting wind spears, managing to suppress the combined assault of the four demigod-level powerhouses all by herself.
Her fighting style was grand and sweeping, filled with an indomitable锐气 (ferocity/sharpness) and the iron-blooded spirit of a battlefield general. She often used offense as defense, forcing the four to fall back and defend.
Luan Feng's flames were scattered by the gale. Wang Yiheng's high-heat soul tool-fired ray was casually split in half by Fei Xiao's axe. Liao Mengkai's sharp slash was blocked or dodged in the nick of time.
Xia Xuanchen attempted to strike again with his hammer but was met with a heavy counter-smash from the back of Fei Xiao's axe on his hammer head. The terrifying force cracked his tiger's mouth grip, and he nearly lost his weapon.
"It's not enough. Is this all you've got?"
Fei Xiao grew stronger as she fought. Her battle-axe hummed with excitement, and she swept away the four attacks with one swing, her unrestrained laughter echoing through the turbulent space.
"Try a little harder."
Celenova, who had been observing quietly, a cold gleam flashed in her eyes.
She slowly raised her hand, and deeper destructive energy began to gather at her fingertips, preparing to personally intervene and deliver a fatal blow to Fei Xiao.
However, at this moment, an unforeseen change occurred.
The unrestricted, full-power collision between Fei Xiao and the four great demigods had long since accumulated energy far exceeding what this Pocket Dimension could withstand.
Furthermore, Celenova, in order to empower the four, continuously drew upon the strength of the virtual soldiers, and she herself emitted energy fluctuations far exceeding the limits of this realm's capacity.
Crack, rumbling—!
Finally, the space could no longer bear the strain, and like a shattered mirror, it completely broke apart.
In an instant, the world spun. Everyone felt the ground vanish beneath their feet, and the surrounding scenery abruptly changed.
The cold starlight and the twisted void disappeared, replaced by a hazy sky above the boundless, desolate ruins of Mingdu below.
Broken soul tool towers, collapsed magnificent buildings, massive craters... they had been thrown out of the Pocket Dimension and back into the Douluo primary plane, appearing directly above the ruins of Mingdu.
Almost the very moment they appeared in the outside world.
An invisible yet incomparably vast pressure, containing the power of the entire Douluo plane, suddenly swept in from every direction, settling heavily upon Celenova and Fei Xiao.
This was not the will of any sentient being, but the Douluo Star's own instinctive rejection of entities whose existence fundamentally threatened it.
The power of Celenova and Fei Xiao had long exceeded the limits the Douluo plane could tolerate. Previously, Fei Xiao had been suppressing herself, which was why she hadn't triggered the plane's instinctive rejection.
But because of the battle with the four great demigods, her power had unknowingly exceeded the plane's capacity, thus inviting the plane's rejection.
Faced with Phantylia and Acheron, the Plane Will could only tremble, but against Celenova and Fei Xiao, who had yet to ascend to godhood, the Plane Will had finally found its footing.
The sky instantly darkened as if painted with ink. Dark clouds gathered and rolled frantically from all directions like boiling water.
Massive thunder dragons, colored an ominous dark red and deep purple, darted through the clouds, letting out deafening roars, as if the heavens were enraged and dispensing divine punishment.
The atmosphere became thick and heavy; the spatial structure spontaneously strengthened and tightened.
On Fei Xiao's heroic and spirited face, her fighting spirit remained as high as a blazing sun, but her delicate eyebrows were furrowed slightly.
She could clearly feel that her powerful, battle-hardened body, which had long been tempered to a superhuman level, was now constrained as if by heavy shackles.
Every breath, every circulation of Qi and blood, every time she mobilized the vast, sea-like power within her body, felt like waging war against the entire world, subjected to a ubiquitous suppression and rejection originating from the world itself.
If she forcefully unleashed her full power, she might not defeat Celenova, but she could very well provoke the most ferocious backlash from the entire plane against herself first.
The long-handled battle-axe in her hand let out an unwilling hum. The illusionary figure of the Divine Spirit Flying Aureus surrounding her also appeared restless, its azure radiance flickering under the suppression of the invisible force field.
On the other side, Celenova similarly felt this colossal planar suppression.
Her exquisite face remained expressionless, but the destructive aura around her, which was originally deep and oppressive as an abyss and seemed ready to swallow everything, subconsciously retracted a few points.
The light in her pair of icy eyes flickered rapidly, clearly calculating the potential consequences and benefits of using different power levels under this suppression.
However, the four demigod-level soul engineers, empowered by Celenova's strength, were relatively less affected.
Although the source of their power came from Celenova, their physical bodies and soul essence fundamentally belonged to this plane, and their power had not exceeded the planar limit, thus not provoking such terrifying backlash.
Seeing Fei Xiao constrained, a red light flashed in the eyes of the four, and they aggressively launched their attack once more.
"Ha! Good timing! What shackles can constrain me, Fei Xiao!"
Faced with the siege of the four demigods and the planar suppression, Fei Xiao not only did not retreat but let out a loud laugh, a wilder fighting spirit erupting in her eyes.
She still gripped the heavy axe in her left hand, but a strangely shaped gunblade—long-bladed and possessing both the stabbing function of a spear and the cutting function of a blade—was now firmly in her right.
The heavy axe was domineering, the gunblade agile. She intended to wield two different weapons in both hands.
The heavy axe, carrying a gale that could tear everything apart, ruthlessly slashed toward Xia Xuanchen and Wang Yiheng in the most simple and brutal way.
There was no flair, only ultimate strength and speed.
Where the axe blade passed, space groaned under the strain, and the heavy planar suppression seemed to be temporarily cleaved by her sheer power.
BOOM!!!
The giant hammer and heavy axe collided again. Xia Xuanchen felt an irresistible massive force. His tiger's mouth grip completely cracked, and the silver hammer flew out of his hand.
Wang Yiheng was sent flying by the axe, the flames around him flickering erratically as he was thrown thousands of meters away.
At the same time, the gunblade in Fei Xiao's right hand seemed to have a life of its own.
Her wrist flickered; the gunblade thrust rapidly, shattering Luan Feng's fire phoenix, and then precisely blocked Liao Mengkai's fatal blade edge.
The clang of metal striking metal was like a sudden downpour on plantain leaves—rapid and crisp.
Her fighting style was grand and sweeping, yet subtly refined.
Under the heavy axe lay the unparalleled bravery of a battlefield general; amidst the flashing gunblade, she displayed the profound foundation of mastering various martial arts.
The eighteen types of weapons seemed to be integrated, every movement a lethal move.
Even more terrifying was her battle-hardened body.
The occasional flame that slipped past and scorched her bare arms, or the residual blade energy that struck her body, could only leave shallow white marks and failed to make her figure even waver.
Her body was, in itself, the most formidable weapon.
Under the planar suppression and the siege of the four demigods, Fei Xiao was still mostly on the offense, growing stronger with every moment.
The heavy axe and gunblade wove together into a storm of death, firmly suppressing the four.
The dark-red lightning storm in the sky became increasingly savage. Streaks of divine punishment began to indiscriminately bombard the area around the battlefield, forcing Celenova to divert her attention to dodge.
She looked at Fei Xiao, who was soaring through the battle and morale sky-high amidst the siege, and a tiny ripple finally appeared in her icy eyes.
The difficulty of dealing with this General of Heavenly Strike was several degrees higher than she had anticipated.
"Well, Celenova has personally appeared, so General Fei Xiao must be doing well."
Lu Jingming stood on the scarred ruins, looking up at the sky ten thousand meters high.
In the layers of thunder-storm clouds, the destructive dark-purple and the fierce azure wind energy violently clashed. Every engagement made the firmament tremble. Were it not for the extreme height of the battlefield, the residual shockwaves alone would be enough to plow the ruins below once more.
His gaze was profound, as if it could pierce through the clouds to see the world-shaking battle clearly.
"However, the curtain should be falling on this drama staged in Mingdu."
His sight ultimately returned to the immediate vicinity, focusing on the brilliant golden light that shot out from Tang Wutong's brow and had now condensed into a form.
That light rapidly transformed into a grand, majestic, azure figure, surrounded by endless ocean waves and a sacred aura.
A powerful divine might surged forth like a tsunami, as if intending to subdue everything in the world.
The Sea God Tang San, the wisp of divine consciousness he had hidden until now, was finally forced to appear.
Lu Jingming took a deep breath, his eyes becoming sharp as blades, and he murmured in a low voice, "So you finally appeared... Makoto. Come, let's see where our limits lie?"
"As you wish, A Ming."
A gentle yet firm voice sounded behind him.
Raiden Makoto had appeared without a sound. She gazed at Lu Jingming's profile, her eyes filled with unreserved trust and affection.
As someone who should have perished, it was Lu Jingming who gave her a second life. Therefore, she would repay this kindness.
