Chapter 764: Necessary (1/2)

Heavin allowed Fura to come together with them basically because she gave up too quickly. She didn't try to insist or anything like that. That's why he thought it was worth a shot. Although they would keep their guards up against the old woman, they were willing to trust her to some extent as well. Besides, it's not like extra help was a bad thing.

While Heavin and Krune's groups made their way to the Core Region, Lani was in a heated battle against Taxin.

*Boom!*

Another wave of energy came between the two as weaponized energy came out of their weapons. Since there was Sword Intent and Sword Heart, then there was surely Staff Intent and Heart. Of course, Taxin had already surpassed the Sword Heart level and entered a new realm where it wasn't recognizable in the Mortal Realm. Nevertheless, Lani's Staff Heart helped a lot even though it was weaker by one realm.

”Great stuff! Now, let's see how you will deal with this, Lani!”

As soon as Taxin said that, Lani felt a chill on his back. The world around him didn't change at all. However, he could tell with his Mental Energy that a powerful threat had just appeared.

”Myriad Swords Domain!”

Sure enough, it was a sword-related domain. Because it also used the Sword Assimilation Level, the domain seemed to be invisible to both eye and Divine Sense.

Lani wasn't any slower, though.

Different from Taxin, his Laws were still within the Realm of this plane. That being said, it immediately turned visible to everyone—the world alone Lani became colorful, pretty similar to Krune's domain. As an Element Divine Soul Owner, Lani obviously specialized in the five primary elements.

However, the colorful domain only stayed like that for a second. Not long after, the colors began to mix until they turned pitch black!

”Elements Regulation Domain!”

Sure enough, Lani reached a level where he could also fuse his Elemental Domains together. Lani had comprehended all the five primary elements and laws a long time ago. Merging them was no problem either. Naturally, his domain benefited from that.

Both Taxin and Lani's domain clashed against each other. Several severing slashes appeared in Lani's domain nonstop. At the same time, Lani could tell that his domain was weakening Tixan's at a similar level with his Mental Energy.

As the two domains clashed, the fabric of space shattered everywhere. The Mortal Realm space couldn't withstand the power of common Divinity Realm cultivators and demon beasts, let alone Lani and Tixan's powers. It looked like even the space laws themselves were being affected by their domains.

”The All Sword!”

Taxin flashed in Lani's direction as his body shone with Spiritual Energy. Every movement of his hands and legs, even his fingers and toes, were followed by peak level Sword Laws.

”Myriad Staff Refractions!”

Lani also didn't stay still and headed directly for Taxin. Taxin was far above Lani in weapon realm comprehension, but Lani had all the perks from Krune, Heavin, and his own Elements Regulation Technique to make up for it.

*Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!*

All of a sudden, Lani's body was slashed in half. However, it disappeared right after as Taxin's head was smashed by a staff. Unfortunately, that was also an afterimage.

”Real World Severing!”

Taxin's body burst with the power of Sword Assimilation as even space itself became part of his swords.

Lani was taken aback by that attack, forcing him to stop his attack. His staff left thousands of afterimages as his body rotated several times. Black energy came out of it, which increased the countering potential of his attack. All of that happened in just a fraction of a second, but it was still a little bit slow as several cuts appeared on Lani's body.

Lani immediately controlled his Spiritual, Elemental, and Mental Energies to head towards those places. They then immediately destroyed the rampaging Sword Assimilation energy that tried to enter his body. However, it wasn't over. Taxin used that moment to attack Lani, not giving him time to prepare.

”Extreme Piercing!”

Although it sounded like an attack made for a spear, it was true that swords can also pierce. Piercing was a very sword-like law.

Taxin's hand moved at incredible speeds, aiming for an unprotected area on Lani's body.

However, Lani wasn't an idiot. He knew that his opponents definitely wouldn't let the opportunity slip.

Out of nowhere, the Fused Elements on Lani's staff intensified as his staff speed increased even more! Just as Taxin's Extreme Piercing was about to hit Lani's body, Lani's staff appeared right in front of it. It didn't only defend but aimed to counterattack as well.

”Mountain's Descent!”

Earth Element took priority in Lani's Fused Five Elements as his staff increased several times in power. Lani was literally trying to make Taxin lose his arm in this attack.

*Bang!*

Soon, hand and staff hit each other. However, things didn't go as both sides had expected. Lani's staff failed to injure Taxin's hand while Taxin's attack was unable to leave even a mark on Lani's Staff.
