"Heavy breathing sounds arose as Muria, holding the Demon-Subduing Sword and the Seven Sins Blade, somewhat helplessly looked at the elemental lord not far away. Even under a hundredfold gravity, Muria's speed was greatly reduced, but he was still faster than the earth elemental lord.
Thus, he could still slash at the earth elemental as before, only that the physical exertion was quite significant, so much so that after about an hour of continuous attack, Muria felt fatigue.
Moreover, the earth elemental lord is a legendary being. Although it currently appeared in bad shape, its defense hadn't changed much.
Muria helplessly watched the elemental lord, towering over sixty meters tall and covered in slash marks. At its feet, an astonishing number of earth elements surged out, clinging to its body, repairing the slash marks.
"I can't cut through." Watching the slash marks on the body of the earth elemental lord gradually become shallower and slowly disappear, returning to its original state, Muria felt somewhat helpless.
The elemental lord's elemental body was far more durable than the earth elemental elders Muria had previously faced, cutting them down with a single slash. Muria didn't even know how many hundreds of slashes and stabs he had delivered, but he just couldn't kill it.
"Yingdi La, you might as well step aside and watch." Muria, frustrated by the defense of the earth elemental lord, looked towards Yingdi La. She had just transformed into a nine-tailed demonic dragon and joined the fight, but she couldn't even scratch off a piece of stone from the elemental lord's body.
Instead, under the hundredfold gravity, she was punched by the elemental lord. Her ferocious dragon body was almost burst open, then, she once again displayed her astonishing recovery ability. The moment her dragon body shattered, it immediately healed.
"Alright, this food is too tough." Hearing Muria suggesting her to step back, Yingdi La immediately complied. She had already tried; she could leave bite marks on the body of the earth elemental lord, but this slow-moving lord did not give her the chance to tear off a piece.
"Keep cutting!" Muria took a deep breath and once again charged at the elemental lord with his sword and blade. His Sun-Chasing Spear was still embedded in the chest of the elemental lord, not pulled out, continuously causing damage.
"Clang!" The sword and blade resonated. As Muria charged at the elemental lord, thick, crystalline earth spikes shot out from the ground towards Muria.
At the same time, within thousands of meters around the elemental lord, massive earth balls condensed out of nowhere and smashed towards Muria.
This is the earth elemental lord, able to manipulate earth elements at will to attack. As for defense, it doesn't need it, even Muria, wielding his unique weapons, is somewhat unable to cut through it now.
"I can only slowly grind it to death." Muria slashed through three earth spikes shooting out from the ground and kicked a huge stone ball condensing out of nowhere beside him, then charged next to the earth elemental lord.
Streaks of sharpness flashed, Muria left two deep slash marks on its slowly raised arm, which was blocking in front of it.
Due to the gravity suppression, Muria's attack speed was much slower, but even so, in just a moment, Muria had made more than twenty consecutive slashes with his sword and blade.
Each strike was aimed at the same spot as the previous one, leaving these two deep slash marks.
"This defense is a bit excessive." After cutting, Muria immediately jumped aside. "Boom!" Right after he dodged, the elemental lord's fist smashed where Muria had just stood, creating a huge stone pit.
After such a long battle, Muria had fully grasped the attack pattern of the elemental lord, which didn't vary much because it was sufficient.
Not everyone has Muria's physique, able to move and continuously attack within the elemental lord's gravity field.
It's worth noting that Yingdi La, in her nine-tailed demonic dragon form, couldn't even fly in the gravity field released by several elemental elders.
Not counting Titans and beings of divine heritage, among legendary dragon species, the physique of a nine-tailed demonic dragon is among the top in the soul level, and it's still like this, let alone the fate of a normal soul level being entering the elemental lord's gravity field.
Crushed by a hundredfold gravity, unable to move, then smashed to death by the elemental lord's elemental attacks. This is the normal fate of a soul level being facing an elemental lord.
Like Muria, who could circle around the elemental lord and cut it, there aren't many in the whole of Elasia. After all, it's not enough to have a physique that can withstand a hundredfold gravity; one also needs a weapon that can break through the elemental lord's body defense.
"Really tough to beat!" After dodging an elemental lord's punch, Muria flashed to its back, delivering a straightforward backstab. He thrust his Demon-Subduing Sword into its spine.
"Clang!" Only half of the sword's tip pierced into its body, the elemental lord's body was unbelievably hard.
"Troublesome!" Seeing this, Muria cursed under his breath, then grasped the sword and blade, jumped back again, dodging the elemental lord's punch as it turned around.
He didn't want to test the elemental lord's strength. Yingdi La had already tried, and her nearly shattered dragon body said it all.
"Really tough to beat!" Muria, with his chest heaving more and more, charged again at the elemental lord, entangling with it.
If it weren't for his weapons having soul-destroying attack properties, Muria would have already left with Yingdi La. Each of Muria's slashes actually caused soul damage to the elemental lord that was difficult to heal.
Compared to the elemental lord's powerful soul, these damages were minor, like scratches from a small knife on a human body, not a big deal.
The elemental lord, already in a bad state, even ignored these soul damages. But it ignoring them didn't mean Muria couldn't feel them. These, to the elemental lord, insignificant soul injuries gave Muria hope of defeating the elemental lord and a reason to keep going.
...Time slowly passed, Muria's breathing became heavier and heavier, but his eyes were full of excitement because of the two cross-shaped, nearly three-meter-deep slash marks on the chest of the elemental lord not far away.
Muria had never cut such deep marks before. Due to the continuous accumulation of soul injuries, the elemental lord's state declined again. Its body's defensive power was much weaker than before, along with a decrease in the elemental lord's attack power. Soul injuries affect all aspects.
After an unknown amount of time, Muria pierced the elemental lord's head with his Demon-Subduing Sword. "Roar!" The elemental lord, on the verge of death, let out a painful scream.
In the end, the elemental lord, not in its best state, was still ground down to death by Muria.
