Chapter 200: Ye Xishui's Trump Card, the Light Phoenix!
Ye Xishui's shrill laughter, filled with ecstasy and greed, still echoed over the shattered plains as Ye Guyi's cold declaration of judgment fell like a final decree. Accompanied by the majestic divine power of the Angel Sword, it transformed into a physical assault.
"Angelic Judgment!"
Ye Guyi did not hesitate for a moment. After achieving Godhood, her compatibility with the Angel Sword had reached an unprecedented height. With a single thought, the majestic divine power of light poured into the blade like a surging river.
The holy sword emitted a joyful, clear ring, and the blade burst with light. A massive golden greatsword, spanning the sky and composed entirely of highly compressed holy energy, instantly took shape. Carrying the supreme will to purify all things and adjudicate all existence, it slashed down toward Ye Xishui's head!
Wherever the sword light passed, space was neatly sliced open, leaving behind golden rifts that failed to close for a long time. The already cracked earth below collapsed further under this immense pressure.
Facing this strike that was as fast as lightning and as powerful as a thunderbolt, the wild laughter on Ye Xishui's face abruptly vanished, replaced by a look of solemnity. She could clearly feel the terrifying power contained within this sword—it was an absolute counter to her nature as an Evil God.
"Boundless Sea of Blood!"
She shrieked, and the blood-red divine power around her surged frantically. Above her head, a phantom of a vast, Boundless Sea of Blood instantly condensed. Waves churned, and within them, countless vengeful souls seemed to struggle and wail, emitting an extremely strong corrosive and devouring property in an attempt to submerge and dissolve the judgment sword light.
"Sizzle— Sizzle— Sizzle—!"
However, when holiness and evil collided, the outcome was almost predestined. The golden judgment sword light slashed into the sea of blood, yet it didn't trigger an earth-shattering explosion. Instead, it produced a violent corrosive sound, like boiling water being poured onto snow.
That seemingly Boundless Sea of Blood, in the face of the pure and holy angelic divine power, rapidly evaporated and purified at a speed visible to the naked eye. The dense blood color quickly faded, and the phantoms of the vengeful souls didn't even have time to scream before turning into wisps of green smoke.
The judgment sword light continued its unstoppable momentum. After being weakened by only thirty percent, it completely tore through the sea of blood and continued its slash toward Ye Xishui!
"What?!" Ye Xishui's pupils shrank suddenly. Although she expected her attributes to be countered, she hadn't expected the effect to be so significant. The defense she had condensed with her Rank 106 divine power was actually so fragile. Her figure flashed rapidly, leaving a blood-shadow clone in her place.
"Boom!"
The judgment sword light struck, annihilating the blood-shadow clone along with the earth beneath it, leaving a massive, bottomless trench.
Ye Xishui's true body appeared hundreds of meters away, her face terrifyingly grim. Although she had dodged the direct hit, the aftershocks of the sword light still made her blood and qi churn, and her protective divine power flickered. In just one exchange, she had completely fallen into a disadvantage.
"Dammit! The power of this divine tool is actually this strong?!" Ye Xishui was both shocked and enraged. One had to know that her cultivation was significantly higher than Ye Guyi's, yet once the battle started, she was the one who fell into a disadvantage.
She realized that given the disadvantage in attributes and equipment, even if she possessed a cultivation several ranks higher, she couldn't exert it at all. She could only take hits passively; defeat or even death was only a matter of time.
Ye Guyi showed no mercy while she had the upper hand. Her six wings vibrated, and her figure turned into a golden bolt of lightning, closing the distance instantly. The Angel Sword slashed and stabbed, raining down condensed holy light sword qi like a violent storm, sealing off all of Ye Xishui's paths for evasion.
"Nether Ghost Claw!"
"Ten Thousand Souls Heart-Devourer!"
"Blood Curse Bone-Erosion!"
Ye Xishui shouted repeatedly, unleashing various powerful skills. Gray-black giant claws, invisible soul shocks, and malicious blood-colored curses—all sorts of sinister attacks flooded toward Ye Guyi like a tidal wave.
However, before the fully awakened Angel Sword, all of this appeared pale and weak. As the holy sword swung, it carried its own purification halo. Those evil attacks were extinguished by the majestic holy light before they could even get close.
Ye Guyi didn't even need to focus on defense; she only needed to concentrate on her offense to force Ye Xishui into a life-and-death struggle. Ye Xishui could only rely on her slightly superior speed and her familiarity with the Demon Space to dodge and block in a pathetic state.
"Clang!"
In an unavoidable head-on collision, the Angel Sword slashed against a blood-colored bone shield that Ye Xishui had hastily condensed. The bone shield shattered on impact, and Ye Xishui was sent flying backward. A sweetness rose in her throat as a mouthful of dark-red blood nearly sprayed out, which she forcibly suppressed, but her aura was already in disarray.
She stared fixedly at the radiant holy sword in Ye Guyi's hand, her eyes filled with resentment and malice. If this continued, she would surely die!
"You forced my hand!" Ye Xishui let out an extremely shrill roar, a flash of determination and madness crossing her eyes. "Did you think that just by relying on attribute suppression and the advantage of a divine tool, you could definitely defeat this seat? How naive! This seat has roamed the continent for over two hundred years; how could I not have a trump card!"
Before her voice had even faded, the nauseating blood-colored evil energy around her rapidly receded like a tide. The hideous phantom of the blood soul demonic puppet also instantly vanished, replaced by a completely different aura that began to emanate from within her body.
It was an aura that was... warm, bright, full of vitality, and noble!
Ye Guyi's sword momentum, which was about to follow up on her victory, couldn't help but stall slightly. For the first time, a look of disbelief appeared in her golden eyes.
She clearly felt that the evil essence within Ye Xishui that she so loathed was rapidly fading away. A pure and powerful light-attribute force was awakening like a dormant volcano!
"How is this possible?! How... how can she have such pure light power within her?" Ye Guyi's heart shook violently; this completely overturned her understanding.
How could an existence who had committed heinous sins and achieved the status of an Evil God with an extremely evil Martial Soul like the blood soul demonic puppet hide such majestic light power within her body?
Under Ye Guyi's shocked gaze, Ye Xishui's body underwent a strange transformation.
Her originally pale and cold skin took on a layer of warm, jade-like light. Those eyes, once filled with resentment, were still cold now, but a cluster of golden flames burned faintly deep within them.
The most significant change occurred behind her. A pair of massive, elegant wings, composed entirely of pure white light, slowly unfurled from her back. Upon the wings flowed light patterns like flames, emitting a refreshing sense of brightness and heat.
A powerful pressure spread out. Although the intensity remained at Rank 106, her attribute had already shifted from ultimate evil to ultimate light. Furthermore, this aura of light carried a sense of nobility and majesty belonging to the King of Birds!
"This is... a Phoenix?!" Ye Guyi cried out in surprise.
She was no stranger to this aura; it was the aura of a top-tier beast Martial Soul—the Phoenix. Moreover, it was an extremely rare light-attribute Phoenix!
Ye Xishui hovered in the air, her Light Phoenix wings flapping gently and scattering droplets of light rain. She looked like a completely different person from her previous Evil God appearance. Seeing the unconcealable shock on Ye Guyi's face, a cold and smug curve formed at the corner of her mouth.
"Are you very surprised, little girl?" Ye Xishui's voice was no longer hoarse and shrill; instead, it carried a condescending resonance. "In this world, you are not the only one worthy of possessing light! This seat's second Martial Soul—the Light Phoenix—has never been shown to anyone for over two hundred years. Today, I shall use it to send you on your way!"
As her words fell, the golden flames in Ye Xishui's eyes flared. Her Light Phoenix wings flapped violently, and her figure turned into a white light as she took the initiative to attack Ye Guyi. A condensed, white phoenix-shaped flame, carrying a high temperature capable of incinerating all things, was the first to strike!
