The metal sphere was incredibly heavy, and the power it unleashed was comparable to that of a fourth-level Void God Realm cultivator, but it still couldn't withstand the bald giant's attack.
Tong Xi'er was extremely anxious, but with her strength, she was far inferior to the bald giant, and going up would only lead to her death.
"You brat, die!"
The bald, burly man roared. He saw the metal ball following Lu Ming and felt the strongest desire to kill Lu Ming, so he wanted to eliminate Lu Ming first.
Lu Ming's pupils narrowed, and he retreated at lightning speed, unleashing his Dominator power to its fullest extent.
Whoosh!
The bald, burly man's blade flashed brilliantly as he slashed towards Lu Ming.
As Lu Ming retreated, he also unleashed a sword strike, clashing with the bald man's battle blade.
when!
As the swords clashed, sparks flew everywhere. Lu Ming felt an incredibly terrifying force surging towards him. His body trembled violently, and he was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing into the wall of the valley. Even the metal wall shattered and caved in.
puff!
Lu Ming spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling as if his arm was about to break. The divine weapon sword in his hand was actually chipped.
"A low-grade fifth-tier divine artifact!"
Lu Ming's heart skipped a beat.
The bald, burly man's battle blade was a low-grade fifth-tier divine weapon, while his own battle sword was only a low-grade third-tier divine weapon. It was normal for the other party to chip it.
In the primordial universe, divine artifacts are divided into four major levels: low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, and supreme.
Each level is further divided into nine grades.
The sword in Lu Ming's hand was given to him by Bai Ya. It is a third-tier low-grade divine artifact, and it is the highest-level divine artifact that Lu Ming currently possesses.
boom!
At this moment, the metal ball rushed towards the bald man again. It became even larger, with a diameter of ten meters, like a small hill, and crashed down on the bald man.
Xie Nianjun,
Dark Light!
Xie Nianqing sent a telepathic message to Xie Nianjun.
"good!"
Xie Nianjun nodded.
Boom! Boom!
A dazzling light emanated from the two of them, one black and one white, like a black sun and a white sun.
Then, the black and white light intertwined, forming a cage that instantly enveloped the bald man.
boom!
The bald, burly man struck the cage with all his might, but failed to break it.
This is a cage of dark holy light, a secret technique that can only be performed by Xie Nianqing and Xie Nianjun working together.
Back when the Heavenly Realm and the Evil God Realm were locked in battle, the two of them joined forces to trap the Killing Heart Saint Ancestor for a period of time.
At that time, the two of them were only at the demigod level, yet they were able to trap the Killing Heart Saint Ancestor, who was at the Void God Realm.
Now that they have both broken through to the Void God Realm, their cultivation techniques have undergone a transformation, allowing them to control Saint-grade divine power. The power of this move they unleash is now incomparable to what it was before; it is far stronger.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The bald, burly man went berserk, his blade flashing as he launched a frenzied attack, but all of it was blocked by the cage of dark holy light, and for a time, he couldn't break through it at all.
"Lu Ming, attack!"
Xie Nianqing drank coquettishly.
"kill!"
Lu Ming roared and unleashed his full power, his battle sword slashing wildly, unleashing countless sword energies that rushed towards the bald, burly man as if they were free.
At the same time, Tong Xi'er also arrived and launched a full-scale attack.
In addition, the metal ball seized the opportunity to deliver a blow to the bald giant from time to time.
The dark holy light cage posed no obstacle to Lu Ming and his group; their attacks could freely bombard the bald, burly man.
At this moment, the bald, burly man was like a sitting duck, allowing Lu Ming and his group to attack him at will.
The bald, burly man swung his sword with all his might to fend off Lu Ming and his men's attacks.
However, the Dark Holy Light Cage cast by Xie Nianqing and Xie Nianjun not only trapped him, but also had offensive capabilities.
Within the cage of dark holy light, black and white lotuses emerged, transforming into sword energies that flew swiftly and attacked the bald, burly man.
For a moment, the bald, burly man was in a panic, and could only desperately defend himself.
However, he could only defend, not attack, making him a sitting duck, and there were bound to be times when he made a mistake.
puff!
A black sword light slashed across his body, leaving a deep sword wound from which blood flowed freely.
He roared and retreated rapidly, crashing into the cage of dark holy light. A white sword light flashed, and his chest was almost pierced through.
roar!
The bald, burly man let out a roar like a wild beast.
He, a dignified being at the fifth level of the Void God Realm, was actually injured by a few juniors at the first level of the Void God Realm. He was furious.
Unfortunately, no amount of anger can change anything.
After a while, he was even more outmatched and staggered when he was hit by the metal ball. Lu Ming seized the opportunity and almost decapitated him with a sword, leaving a sword wound several feet long on his chest.
With his injuries compounded, the bald, burly man's strength began to wane.
"Today, it is you who will die!"
Lu Ming spoke coldly, his attacks becoming increasingly ferocious.
"Don't even think about it, you bunch of juniors, you won't kill me!"
The bald, burly man roared, and his aura suddenly surged, as if a flame was burning fiercely within him.
Burning divine power!
The bald, burly man is going to fight to the death!
Ordinary people will not burn their divine power unless it is a critical moment, because if they burn their divine power too much, their cultivation level may regress, or even leave terrible aftereffects, making it difficult to improve their cultivation level in the future.
Normally, one wouldn't risk their life like this unless faced with an exceptionally dangerous situation.
However, the bald, burly man had no choice but to fight desperately; otherwise, he might perish here.
Boom! Boom!...
Burning his divine power boosted the bald giant's strength considerably. He deflected all the attacks with a single strike and then slammed his blade heavily into the cage of dark holy light.
boom!
The cage of dark holy light trembled violently.
Boom! Boom!...
Then, the bald, burly man frantically bombarded the Dark Holy Light Cage, causing it to tremble more and more violently.
Xie Nianqing and Xie Nianjun's delicate bodies trembled, and their faces turned somewhat pale.
The bald, burly man unleashed fifty or sixty consecutive attacks, and he specifically targeted one spot.
Click!
That area finally couldn't withstand the pressure and cracked, then the crack burst open, creating a gap.
Whoosh!
Seizing the opportunity, the bald giant burst through the gap, then transformed into a streak of light and sped away into the distance.
"I will avenge this sooner or later!"
The bald, burly man's roar echoed, and he dared not linger. He needed to find a place to stop burning his divine power and heal his injuries; otherwise, if he continued, not only would his cultivation level regress, but he would also suffer terrible aftereffects.
If it leaves terrible aftereffects that prevent future cultivation, it would be a huge loss. Compared to killing Lu Ming and the others, his future is of course more important.
There will be other opportunities to kill Lu Ming and the others later.
In the blink of an eye, the bald, burly man had vanished without a trace.
"pity!"
Lu Ming sighed inwardly.
However, he also knew that their cultivation level was too low. It was already extremely amazing that they could force a fifth-level Void God Realm being to this extent.
