War(1)

Elliot snorted at Taiyi's outburst." Let's see how tough your bones are," Elliot said as disappeared from his position. Taiyi saw this and smiled. He stared at his wife before he kissed her on the forehead. When he was done he also disappeared from his position. When the duo appeared, they were already at each other's neck. Their fists met in the air and there was a loud vibration followed by a the sound of bones cracking. Elliot took a step back while Taiyi took three steps back. In this confrontation, it could be seen that Taiyi was already at a disadvantage and this was because he did not use his full strength. Taiyi was not sure about his insecurities but he felt that there might be a change in the overall situation as a variable might appear or maybe the heavenly dao itself might interfere. He used his emotionless sword dao to fight against Elliot. Even after exchanging more than a hundred moves, the dome that surrounded Taiyi, Elliot, Feng Jiu and the ancestral gods was still intact and showed no signs of being destroyed. As Song Taiyi was in a showdown of strength with Elliot, Feng Jiu was also having a hard time facing off against more than a hundred ancestral gods. Although she was a peak ancestral god and had a half of her foot on the supreme realm she still could not hold her own against more than a hundred gods but she was faring on well. She did not hesitate to use her full strength while fighting the ancestral gods as she knew that if she held back then it might cost hers and Taiyi's life so she used everything she had and went as far as transforming into her true form. After she transformed into a fire phoenix, the whole dome turned into a realm if fire and her strength was multiplied in such an environment. Taiyi saw this and smiled. Although some ancestral gods asked Elliot for help, Taiyi made sure that he had Elliot occupied and would always stop him moreover they were matched and although Elliot had a slight advantage it could not completely allow him to win and he definitely could not allow himself to make any mistake that would allow his enemy to exploit. Taiyi also could not afford to make any mistake as he did not want to expose his real strength that early. Two years passed by and the war was still ongoing. At this point many ancestral gods had already died and by a stroke of luck Feng Jiu successfully ascended to the supreme realm. On this day, the battle had reached its pinnacle and many ancestral gods were dying. The myriad diversified world did not have many ancestral gods but even then they could not be of any help in this battle. They could only watch as Taiyi and Feng Jiu fought alone against an army of ancestral gods and some ascended supreme gods but even then Elliot was still stronger." Taiyi, I thought that you were strong but it turns out that you are still so weak. We have wasted so much time so it is time to end this," Elliot said as a wheel appeared in his hand. The wheel was his weapon. He had condensed his dao artifact to be a wheel based on the wheel of samsara. For the first time since the battle begun Taiyi finally felt a sense of crisis." In history, there have only been two people who have been worthy of seeing me unsheath my sword and today you will be the third person to witness but I guess you won't disappoint me," Taiyi said as he stared at the sky. He had wasted so much time just so that Xue Kai could complete its evolution and it had done so more than a month ago. "I guess I should be proud then," Elliot said with a scornful attitude but it soon changed when he felt something. The dome that could not be broken by his full strength was sliced open by a sharp sword. The sword moved a terrifying speed and appeared besides Taiyi. Taiyi held the sword in his hand and he couldn't help but smile genuinely." I missed you buddy,"Taiyi said with a smile as he caressed the sword. The love that swordsmen had for their swords have been widely acknowledged and it is even said that some swordsmen even give up their relationships and do not involve themselves in love affairs in pursuit of their way of the sword. Taiyi was unlike the other swordsmen who pursued the pure way of the sword and loved their sword more than anything because to him the sword was just a weapon that was used for killing and to Taiyi he could not allow a weapon to control him. To Taiyi, the sword was a companion but it was neither a friend nor a foe. To him it was more of a tool that could be discarded but he would never discard his sword as he knew the sword had accompanied him on his journey. When he was lonely he always had his sword and when he was in the battlefield and believed by enemies he always held his sword and used it on many occasions to survive . His sword was a good companion that would always be with him at all times. When he was mad and sad, he would hug his sword and drink until he lost himself. This was how close they had become and Taiyi considered his sword as his brother. Taiyi stared at Elliot with a smile before he disappeared. When he appeared there was an image of a huge sword behind him. Elliot saw this and guessed what he would do next so the image of the samsara wheel appeared behind him and this time it was also bigger than before. Taiyi did not falter when he saw this nor did he retreat. It was at this moment that they finally decided to go all out. Taiyi decided to finally display the peak of his emotionless sword dao while Elliot also showcased the peak of his dao of samsara." Nothing is absolute. Everything will pass with time. What's the use of having these emotions when you can severe them for power," Taiyi chanted as his sword attacked Elliot." All living things must pass through samsara. Samsara is absolute and nothing can escape it not even non emotions," Elliot chanted as he also used his wheel to attack. The duo were equally matched and as time passed by the fight between them became more intense. After some of the otherworldly ancestral gods also broke through tobthe supreme realm, Feng Jiu started tk face a few challenges and in order to alleviate the pressure on her side Taiyi was forced to face off against a few supreme gods together with Elliot but even then he was not bothered. He was very relaxed about his current situation as he fought like a madman. He knew that they could not lose this fight so he had to do his best to win so that even if they failed at least he will have the conviction that he did his best and would not feel guilty.
