Chapter 1198: Reversing Heaven and Earth, Inverting Yin and Yang

Lan Xuanyu’s gaze instantly turned solemn. The ability Qi Tianlong was displaying now was somewhat similar to a human Soul Master’s Martial Soul Avatar—extremely domineering. His already formidable strength surged along with his explosively growing body.

Without pause, Qi Tianlong gripped his saber with both hands and suddenly swung upward. A massive flame blade light soared into the sky, heading straight for the air. This strike ignored Lan Xuanyu entirely and slashed directly at Bai Xiuxiu in the sky. When that flame blade light appeared, heaven and earth changed color. Even the radiance of the distant dragon-force pillars seemed overshadowed by that blade light.

Overwhelming skill with raw power—this was Qi Tianlong’s tactic.

The Celestial Dragon Head had once told him that in this world, absolute power was the nemesis of all things. As long as you made your cultivation strong enough, any technique became unimportant. Because you simply didn’t need technique to amplify your cultivation. Absolute strength was enough to crush everything.

He did exactly that. No matter what skills you used, he would overwhelm skill with power, attacking fiercely with his strongest strength. If you have the ability, block it. If you couldn’t, you lost.

This strike, the Fire God Slash, fused essence, energy, and spirit into one almost instantly. Although he was not yet a god-rank powerhouse, when this blade came out, many god-rank powerhouses present changed expression.

Huang Daoqi was one such person. Although he wasn’t on the field, he could clearly feel that if it were him, he likely wouldn’t be able to block this strike.

At this moment, if Lan Xuanyu moved to block, he would have to take that terrifying blade head-on. If he didn’t block, the blade’s target was Bai Xiuxiu in the air. The blade light was locked on, unavoidable—especially in the Martial Soul Avatar state.

And whether she dodged or not, the blade’s goal was simple: to break her Heaven Demon Dance .

Did Lan Xuanyu block the blade for Bai Xiuxiu? No. As if he hadn’t seen the strike at all, he ferociously descended from the sky, pouncing straight at Qi Tianlong, who had just unleashed that blade. Besiege Wei to save Zhao—attack what the enemy must rescue?

Among the watching Dragon Clan higher-ups, many had already furrowed their brows. Because in their eyes, Lan Xuanyu’s action was simply foolish beyond measure.

The blade light was already out. What was the point of besieging Wei to save Zhao? More importantly, Qi Tianlong, who had unleashed that strike, was hardly depleted to the point of being unable to fight. After that blade, the Fire Dragon Saber had already been recalled. Though the cost was significant, he definitely still had the power to fight.

And Bai Xiuxiu, whom Lan Xuanyu had “abandoned”—how could she possibly block a strike at the god rank level?

How could she? How could she…

In the next instant, all the god-rank Dragon Clan members, including the eighteen Dragon Knights, had their eyes filled with shock.

How could she? It was possible!

Everything suddenly changed in an instant. Just as that earth-shaking blade light was about to strike the edge of Heaven Demon Dance, heaven and earth suddenly reversed. Everyone felt their vision blur, and all the light around Heaven Demon Dance vanished in an instant. But at the same time, the enormous blade light in the air abruptly turned, descending from the sky with even more magnificent momentum than before, heading straight for Qi Tianlong.

The true essence of Heaven Demon Dance was reversing heaven and earth, inverting yin and yang.

Although Bai Xiuxiu couldn’t yet unleash the full power of Heaven Demon Dance, she had been charging it for so long that it was enough to complete one heaven-and-earth reversal.

The situation on the field reversed in an instant. Qi Tianlong discovered with shock and fury that Lan was charging at him with full force, while his own earlier full-power strike was coming back right behind him. Lan’s attack wasn’t something he considered a threat, but he knew very well just how strong his own full-power strike was!

Although he had long guessed that Bai Xiuxiu had field-control ability, he hadn’t expected it to be returned to him in this manner.

But Qi Tianlong was worthy of being the Celestial Dragon Head’s chief disciple. Even at this moment, he showed no panic whatsoever. The long saber in his hand slashed out—not toward Lan Xuanyu, but toward empty space.

Instantly, an enormous flame vortex condensed at the blade light’s location. A powerful attractive force abruptly pulled at Lan Xuanyu’s body, forcibly dragging him askew. And the direction he was dragged was exactly where the descending blade light was.

“Brilliant—” Seeing this strike, a Dragon Clan higher-up couldn’t help but cry out in praise.

This battle seemed less intense on the surface, but it could absolutely be described as spectacular. Whether it was Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu’s coordination and adaptability, or the formidable strength Qi Tianlong displayed, none of the previous matches could compare.

In this situation, Qi Tianlong could still think of such a response—it was truly excellent. Relying on absolute tyrannical strength, he was forcing Lan Xuanyu to block that blade. Bai Xiuxiu, having just used the heaven-and-earth reversal, certainly couldn’t help Lan Xuanyu now. And once struck by that blade light, the outcome of this battle was likely decided.

The flame vortex’s powerful suction was indeed extremely difficult for Lan Xuanyu to resist, and he hadn’t expected Qi Tianlong to still be able to use such a method in this situation.

At this moment, Lan Xuanyu didn’t panic. On the contrary, he made a move that puzzled everyone. His enormous body instantly contracted, reverting to human form.

And having become human, because his volume shrank, the speed at which he was pulled over became even faster.

Qi Tianlong’s brows furrowed slightly. The only benefit of Lan Xuanyu doing this was that because his body shrank, when he was struck, the blade’s residual force would also slash into Qi Tianlong’s own body, causing him some injury. But what was the point of that?

At this moment, the blade light in the air was already approaching, carrying incomparably magnificent momentum. Qi Tianlong’s slashing saber swept upward, pulling Lan Xuanyu’s body toward the position above his head.

That flame vortex didn’t just have pulling power—it also had powerful defensive capability. It could not only use the momentum to strike Lan Xuanyu, but also help Qi Tianlong himself block the vast majority of the attack.

But just then, a bizarre scene appeared—one no one had expected.

A seven-colored figure, as if emerging from the void, silently appeared behind him. And in front of Qi Tianlong, the “Lan” who had already become human and drew his attention vanished like a bubble the instant the blade light reached him.

In that instant, Qi Tianlong even had an illusion that Lan had been obliterated by his own blade. His heartbeat skipped a beat. He wanted to defeat Lan Xuanyu, but he had absolutely never thought of injuring her! He wanted to marry her as his wife.

And when he sensed something was wrong, it was already too late. The blade light had already fiercely slashed onto the flame vortex.

“Boom—” A terrifying heat wave erupted along with a violent roar.

Even taking his own attack, Qi Tianlong struggled greatly. That blade was his charged burst, and under the heaven-and-earth reversal, it even had an acceleration effect. This was heavenly mystery evolution.

His 15-meter height instantly sank several meters, both feet plunging deep into the ground. Amidst bursting firelight, his entire Fire Dragon King Armor blazed with piercing light, clearly doing everything possible to shed the blade’s might.

At this moment, Qi Tianlong’s heart sank to the bottom of his chest. Although he didn’t know how “Lan” had done it, he sensed something.

The seven-colored figure behind Qi Tianlong was also not dragon-shaped—it was a human form covered entirely in seven-colored scales.

When that enormous blade light descended from the sky, in the eyes of all the spectators, he drew back his right fist like one drawing a bow to shoot an arrow. Everyone clearly saw that on the surface of his fist, four-colored lightning coiled, and all the seven-colored light across his body converged toward that fist.

The blade light slashed down, and Qi Tianlong’s towering body blocked all the attack’s residual force, bearing the full might of that blade. And in the next instant, that fist wreathed in four-colored lightning had already ferociously slammed into Qi Tianlong’s back.
