At the End of His Rope!

Suddenly, the sky darkened, filled with thick clouds, lightning, and thunder.

Hun Tiandi abruptly sensed that the aura of the Nihility Devouring Flame had completely vanished. A deep sense of despair and fury surged within him.

"Nihility Devouring Flame... is dead?"

His eyes turned bloodshot, and dark energy rolled off his body as a wild and violent aura enveloped him. He howled at the sky, filled with grief and unwillingness: 

"I will kill you!"

Gu Yuan's expression was solemn. He could feel the terrifying aura radiating from Hun Tiandi. Clearly, after losing his most powerful ally, he had gone utterly mad, prepared for a desperate last stand.

"Surrender. You no longer have a chance of winning," he said gravely.

"Hahaha! Gu Yuan, you're too naive. Now that things have reached this point, let's go down together!" 

He let out a sinister laugh and formed seals with his hands. Instantly, the sky darkened further, with clouds swirling and lightning flashing. A terrifying aura burst from his body, sending chills through everyone around. 

"Slaughtering Di Array, activate!"

With a roar, countless mystical symbols appeared in the sky. These symbols swirled and danced before forming an enormous array that enveloped Gu Yuan.

His heart sank as he felt an overwhelming pressure. Even he found this formation daunting, a testament to its immense power.

"This... is the Slaughtering Di Array?"

Gu Yuan's pupils shrank, surprise flickering in his eyes. He had not expected Hun Tiandi to possess such a fearsome formation.

"Yes, this is a formation created by my clan's ancient God. Today, I'll let you experience its might!" 

(TL/n: The formation is activated by using the bloods of tens of millions of descendant citizens of Hun Clan. This demonstrated how ruthless Hun Tiandi was in the OG. Bruh, the author skipped this part..)

He sneered, and with another hand seal, a blood-red long blade appeared in the center of the array. The blade was completely red, covered in strange patterns, and emitted a terrifying aura.

"Slaughtering Di Ghost Blood Blade!"

With a roar, the blood-red blade grew, turning into a crimson lightning bolt as it slashed toward Gu Yuan.

Wherever the blade passed, space itself was torn apart, leaving horrifying cracks in the void. The force was so overwhelming it seemed as if it could cleave the world in two.

Gu Yuan's face turned grim. He could sense the terrifying power within the blade. If it hit him, even he would be gravely injured.

"If that's the case, let me show you my clan's ultimate dou technique."

Gu Yuan took a deep breath and quickly formed seals with his hands. In an instant, a vast, boundless aura erupted from within him.

"Ancient God's Nirvana Finger!"

With a shout, a giant golden finger materialized in mid-air. The finger gleamed with a dazzling light, its surface covered in intricate patterns, radiating a terrifying pressure.

Boom!

The blood-red blade and the golden finger collided in mid-air, unleashing a deafening explosion. The resulting shockwaves rippled outwards, scattering the clouds for hundreds of miles around.

The two terrifying forces clashed in the sky, neither willing to back down. The blood-red blade slashed frantically at the golden finger, producing ear-piercing screeches. Meanwhile, the golden finger remained immovable, blocking the blade's advance.

"Break!"

Hun Tiandi roared, his body surging with demonic energy as he fully powered the Slaughtering Di Ghost Blood Blade. The blade's aura became even more ferocious, its runes flickering and emitting unsettling waves of energy.

(TL/n: Again, in the OG, he murdered his own army and used their blood to strengthen the sword.. Then again if he did that, Gu Yuan wouldn't stand a chance.)

Gu Yuan also unleashed the full power of the Ancient God's Nirvana Finger, its golden light shining even brighter, pressing down on the blood-red blade. The two forces remained locked in a fierce stalemate, neither gaining the upper hand.

"You think that's the full power of the Slaughtering Di Formation? Foolish!"

Suddenly, he let out a sinister laugh. Before his voice even faded, his hands formed more seals, causing countless blood-red symbols to appear within the formation. These symbols condensed into blood-red chains, which shot toward Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan's expression changed. He hadn't expected the formation to have such a trick. But at this critical moment, his full attention was focused on maintaining the Ancient God's Nirvana Finger, leaving him unable to deal with the chains.

Thud!

Several blood-red chains instantly wrapped around him, causing him intense pain. He grunted, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

Seizing this opportunity, Hun Tiandi unleashed the full power of the Slaughtering Di Ghost Blood Blade. The blade's aura surged as it slashed down.

In that moment of crisis, Gu Yuan suddenly exploded with power. His body radiated a golden light, and his Dou Qi surged like a volcano.

"Shatter!"

With a roar, his Ancient God's Nirvana Finger expanded, radiating an intimidating pressure. Under this immense force, the blood-red chains shattered, disintegrating into countless particles of light.

At the same time, the massive finger smashed into the blood blade.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion echoed across the heavens as the Slaughtering Di Ghost Blood Blade shattered into countless fragments of light, while the Ancient God's Nirvana Finger cracked and disintegrated under the immense backlash.

Both combatants were sent flying for thousands of meters, each looking worse for wear.

Yet, just as Gu Yuan steadied himself, Hun Tiandi let out a crazed laugh: 

"You think it's over? Think again!"

Before he finished speaking, he lunged at Gu Yuan, his fists wrapped in terrifying demonic energy. Gu Yuan's expression shifted, and he raised his arms to block.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two clashed in close combat, exchanging punches and kicks, with shockwaves rippling through the air. Hun Tiandi fought like a madman, each strike carrying a world-destroying force. Even though Gu Yuan was slightly stronger, he found himself being pushed back.

Boom!

He landed a punch on Gu Yuan's chest, causing him to groan and cough up blood. But in the next instant, he retaliated with a palm strike, shattering the bones in Tiandi's shoulder.

Both men traded blow for blow, their battle a brutal exchange of injuries. Their figures constantly clashed in the sky, each exchange producing earth-shattering explosions.

Terrifying energy storms swept across the sky, dispersing the clouds. Cracks spread across the void, as if the heavens themselves might tear apart at any moment.

The onlookers from afar were utterly stunned. They never expected such a brutal and intense battle between two top-tier experts. The scale of the fight had already far surpassed their imagination.

Boom!

With another earth-shattering explosion, both were sent flying once again. Both were now severely injured, blood flowing freely.

Gu Yuan's expression was grim. He could sense the madness surging within Hun Tiandi. Clearly, he was ready to sacrifice everything and take him down with him.

At that moment, a commotion arose in the distance. The combined forces of the six clans had completely defeated the Hun Clan's army and were now surrounding them.

Hun Tiandi's face twisted in despair as he realized the truth. He knew that once surrounded, there would be no escape. Death was certain.
