Chapter 2150: Song of the Moon Part 4
"Hmm?"
From the Moon and Star Divine Kingdom seating area, several heads turned.
"Hmm?!!!!"
Their Divine Sons and Divine Regents abruptly stood.
"!!!!!!!!!!!!"
One by one, the elders rose from their seats.
Their eyes locked onto the battlefield—onto the sword in Shen Wuyi's hand.
That aura… that color… that power…
With her sword raised high into the sky, Shen Wuyi coughed up blood.
The deep crimson liquid trailed down her lips before she tilted her head up—her gaze unwavering, filled with absolute resolve.
Drip.
A single drop of her blood fell onto the blade.
Then—
"WUUUUUUUUUUUOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!"
A deafening roar erupted from the sword as if it had been awakened from a slumber spanning countless eons!
The blade trembled violently, releasing a divine pulse that spread across the battlefield like a tidal wave!
In the God Realm, many of the most legendary divine artifacts—swords, spears, relics of True Gods and True Devils—were unable to manifest their full power.
This was because the Heavenly Laws had weakened, limiting the very essence of divinity within that realm.
But here…
In the Abyss…
Where the Heavenly Laws were untouched by the passing of time…
Where the world was still as it was during the Ancient Era of Gods and Devils…
Here—
The sword's full might erupted without restraint!
"!!!!!!!!!!!"
A collective gasp echoed across the Divine Kingdoms as the heavens shook.
The ground quivered, cracks forming beneath Shen Wuyi's feet as the pressure from the sword skyrocketed.
A power long buried—one that had slumbered for countless generations—had awakened at last!
From the Moon and Star Divine Kingdom, the Divine Regents' expressions shifted drastically.
"That power…"
The Moon Divine Regent's breath caught in his throat, his pupils shrinking to pinpricks as he stared, stunned beyond words.
Out of everyone present, his reaction was the most intense—as if he had seen something impossible come to life before his very eyes.
A Divine Moon had appeared in the sky.
The Divine Moon that the Moon Divine Son had summoned with his power had been a sight to behold.
It had strengthened him, elevating his abilities beyond his usual limits, and when combined with the Star Divine Son's power, their domain had reached a terrifying level of enhancement.
Yet now—
That same moon seemed insignificant.
Utterly eclipsed by the celestial body looming before them now.
The Purple Pylon Divine Domain had fully descended.
As its presence solidified, the surrounding battlefield transformed.
The vast arena faded into darkness, replaced by a boundless night sky.
There was nothing—
No stars. No constellations. No distant lights.
Only the Divine Moon.
Hanging high above, its purple glow illuminating the void.
It was not simply a manifestation of power—
It was reality itself bending to the will of the domain.
"!!!!!"
Even Dian Jiuzhi—completely consumed by the power of the Vein of the Great Rage—felt the alarm bells ring in his soul.
A sense of danger—unlike anything he had ever experienced before—washed over him.
It was a primal warning, screaming at him that he had to act now.
He had to strike before it was too late.
But—
He hesitated.
Because he was Dian Jiuzhi.
Because his pride refused to let him move.
From the very start, he had declared to everyone watching—
That he would crush Shen Wuyi at her full power.
That he would prove his superiority.
That he would show the entire Abyss why he was still the strongest Divine Son.
If he attacked now—
If he struck before she fully unleashed her strength—
Wouldn't that mean he feared her?
Wouldn't that mean his earlier words were hollow?
The conflict in his mind was like a roaring storm, his body trembling as his instincts fought against his ego.
But that conflict—
Only worsened his situation.
The Vein of the Great Rage did not allow hesitation.
It thrived on raw emotion—on chaos, anger, and destruction.
And now, that hesitation was feeding it.
The power that had once been under his control was now controlling him.
His veins pulsed violently across his skin, the golden glow deepening as his body involuntarily tensed, rage bubbling up beyond his ability to contain it.
From the seating area, Dian Rahu watched his son, his expression darkening.
His fingers tightened against the armrest, his Divine Aura fluctuating for the first time since the match began.
"Son…" Dian Rahu muttered, his voice so low that only those near him could hear.
"It seems… your plan will fail."
Unlike his foolish son, who was still caught up in his false arrogance and pride—
Dian Rahu, like the other Divine Regents, understood the true implications of what was happening.
The Purple Pylon Divine Domain—the ultimate technique of the Pylon Moon God—had descended upon the battlefield.
It was not just a technique.
It was a declaration.
A proof of ancestry, of inheritance, of divine right.
Only those of the Moon God's bloodline could cultivate the Moon God Divine Arts.
This was an undeniable law.
A truth written into the very essence of the Moon and Star Divine Kingdom.
Even if Dian Jiuzhi won today's battle—
Even if Shen Wuyi fell beneath his fists—
Everything had already changed.
Dian Rahu could already see it—his plans crumbling before his eyes.
As his gaze flickered to the Moon and Star Divine Kingdom's seating area, he saw exactly what he expected—
The Moon Divine Regent and Star Divine Regent had already turned their heads.
But they were not looking at Shen Wuyi.
No—
They were staring straight at the Lightless Divine Regent.
A suffocating weight pressed upon the arena.
A tension that had nothing to do with the battle itself.
It was a battle of authority, of identity, of legitimacy.
Because Shen Wuyi should not have been able to use this technique.
Because Shen Wuyi should not have had the Pylon Moon God's power.
Because Shen Wuyi was supposed to be a distant relative of the Eternal Night Divine Regent.
But now?
With the Purple Pylon Divine Domain unfolding in front of everyone—
That claim was laughable.
If Shen Wuyi was capable of displaying the Moon God's highest divine technique—
It could only mean one thing.
She was not simply an orphan discovered by the Eternal Night Divine Kingdom.
She was not just a distant relative of the Lightless Divine Regent.
She was Moon and Star Divine Kingdom's people!
And now, before the entire Abyss, this truth had been exposed.
This was no longer just a battle between two Divine Children.
This was no longer just a fight for engagement rights.
Even if Shen Wuyi lost—
Even if Dian Jiuzhi won—
The Moon and Star Divine Kingdom would never allow Shen Wuyi to be taken away so easily. Even if the Moon and Star Divine Regent had never met her, never known her parents, and had no prior connection to her, the undeniable truth remained—she possessed the bloodline of the Purple Pylon Moon God. That alone was more than enough reason to claim her as one of their own.
But it wasn't just her lineage that made her invaluable.
Her talent.
If even a fraction of the rumors about her were true—no, even if less than half of them were accurate—they would still fight tooth and nail to have her within their ranks. A talent like hers was not something they could afford to lose.
Dian Rahu's fingers curled tightly against the armrest.
His plan was falling apart—
And there was nothing he could do to stop it.
The moment the Divine Domain fully settled, the battlefield changed completely.
Shen Wuyi floated in the sky, bathed in the divine glow of the Purple Pylon Moon, her long hair cascading behind her in shimmering waves of violet light.
Her once-crimson eyes that contained the might of Vermillion Flame had turned a deep celestial purple, their radiance otherworldly—
Like a goddess who had just descended from the heavens themselves.
She looked up at the Divine Moon hanging high above, the power of the domain flowing through her very being.
"...This is the power of my previous self."
Her voice was soft, but firm as she quietly thought inside her mind.
A quiet realization that echoed through the abyss of her memories.
For the first time, she felt whole.
The Vermillion Bird's power had never truly belonged to her—
But this…
This was hers.
This was who she was meant to be.
The sword in her hand roared with excitement, its blade pulsating with divine intent, as if answering her soul's awakening.
Even though her cultivation was only level six Divine Extinction, within the Purple Pylon Divine Domain, her power had reached a level that could rival Dian Jiuzhi himself!
"Since you're allowing me a move, then I won't decline."
Her voice rang across the battlefield—
Clear. Serene. Unshaken.
Then—
She ascended.
Her figure floated into the night sky, her presence illuminated by the divine moonlight.
As she rose, the veil covering her face slipped away, gently fluttering in the wind—
And the world stood still.
A collective gasp spread across the spectators.
Her ethereal beauty—now fully revealed beneath the glow of the Purple Pylon Moon—
Surpassed even myths.
Her bloodied robes, the countless wounds marring her delicate skin, only amplified her celestial radiance—
Like a battle-scarred goddess standing above all creation.
"So… pretty…"
Hua Caili, seated among the Heaven Breaker Divine Kingdom, murmured in a daze.
She had already known Shen Wuyi was beautiful.
But now…
The Divine Moon had transformed her.
She was no longer simply beautiful.
She was divine.
She was untouchable.
Dian Jiuzhi's grin faltered for the first time.
Something deep inside him stirred with unease.
But before the thought could fully take shape, Shen Wuyi moved.
Her sword trembled with power, glowing brighter than ever before, as she focused everything into a single strike.
This was no longer the Vermillion Bird's power.
No longer the Eternal Night's techniques.
This was her own power.
A power that had slept within her soul all this time—
Now fully awakened.
She swung the blade downward.
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!"
Before the sword beam even reached him, Dian Jiuzhi felt his entire world collapse.
The sky turned dark.
The Divine Moon's radiance drowned out all other light.
The space around him tore apart.
For the first time since the battle began—
For the first time in his entire life—
Dian Jiuzhi felt death.
His body screamed—
His instincts roared—
He moved!
The Divine Pylon Moon Slash was unstoppable.
It descended upon him like judgment itself.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Dian Jiuzhi's roar shook the heavens, his voice raw with desperation as he struggled to escape the descending sword strike. Yet, no matter where he turned, there was no refuge—no corner of the battlefield left untouched. It was as if this single slash had enveloped the entire world itself, sealing off every path of retreat.
A terrifying pressure bore down on him, warping space as if the very fabric of reality was bending under its might. He gritted his teeth, his muscles screaming as he tried to summon the last vestiges of his strength, but his body refused to obey. His instincts howled—there was nowhere safe, nowhere to run, no way to survive unscathed.
For the first time in his life, he truly felt fear.
His confidence.
His arrogance.
All of it shattered in an instant.
The vein on his forehead shone with blinding brilliance, pulsing wildly as if sensing his desperation.
The moment he released his fear—
The Vein of Great Rage responded. It too want to survive!
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!"
Shen Wuyi's Divine Pylon Moon Slash struck him head-on.
A deafening shockwave tore through the battlefield, shaking the entire Pure Land!
The divine light from the slash illuminated the abyss, ripping apart the void itself.
And at its center—
Dian Jiuzhi's body crumpled beneath its might.
"ARGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"
A howl of agony tore from his throat.
Blood exploded from his body in all directions, the gilded aura that once radiated absolute power was now drenched in crimson.
His bones cracked.
His flesh burned.
His entire being was flung like a broken doll, tumbling wildly through the sky—
Soaring far, far away from the battlefield!
"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The entire audience leapt to their feet, their eyes locked onto the sight of Dian Jiuzhi's limp figure flying uncontrollably toward the edge of the combat area!
"Go out… go out… GO OUT!!!"
Yun Che clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms, his heart pounding violently in his chest.
If Dian Jiuzhi fell out of the battle boundary—
Shen Wuyi would win!
On the battlefield, Shen Wuyi staggered.
Her breath shuddered, her entire body trembling from exhaustion.
The Divine Moon flickered above her, its radiance dimming as her power waned.
She had given everything to that final attack.
And now—
Her body swayed, her vision darkening at the edges.
The Purple Pylon Divine Domain trembled violently, its once-unshakable foundation now wavering under the strain. Cracks spread like spiderwebs through the illusory night sky, and the vast, endless darkness that once dominated the battlefield began to distort, flickering like a candle on the verge of being extinguished. The overwhelming power that had sustained it had weakened to an extreme, yet—even as the domain threatened to collapse—the divine moon remained.
Suspended in the heavens, it continued to radiate its celestial glow, an unwavering beacon that refused to fade. Even as the domain crumbled around it, the divine light of the moon shone brighter than ever, a reminder to all present that this was not an illusion.
"Go out... go out..."
From the Moon and Star Divine Kingdom's side, whether it was the Divine Regents, elders, or ordinary members, all eyes locked onto Dian Jiuzhi's rapidly retreating figure. Their voices, filled with urgency and anticipation, echoed the same desperate plea.
"Out… go out…!!"
Their fists clenched, their breaths held—every muscle in their bodies tense with expectation. This was it! He had taken the full brunt of Shen Wuyi's ultimate attack, and his battered form was hurtling toward the very edge of the combat area.
"Out… go out…!!"
Their voices grew louder, more desperate. Victory was so close they could taste it.
Yun Che's heart raced—
But just as Dian Jiuzhi's body was about to cross the battle boundary…
"BOOM!!"
The air shuddered—
And suddenly—
Dian Jiuzhi STOPPED. His body trembled in the air, but still, he stopped!
"!!!!"
Yun Che's breath hitched, his fingers tightening in frustration and horor.
The crowd fell silent.
Dian Jiuzhi—
Barely within the battle limits—
Had stopped himself midair.
A faint golden glow still flickered across his battered body, his veins bulging grotesquely beneath his skin as he forced himself upright. His chest rose and fell in ragged, uneven gasps, blood trickling down his chin, his eyes burning with unyielding defiance.
He was alive.
He was still in the fight.
"Bang!!!!"
Dian Jiuzhi's feet slammed back onto the battlefield, the force shaking the broken ground beneath him. His body trembled—his legs barely holding him upright, his arms twitching as if every muscle screamed in protest—
But he did not fall.
"Cough…!! Puke…!! Cough…!!!"
A fountain of blood splattered onto the ground, its crimson stain stark against the ruined battlefield. His insides churned, his organs writhing from the aftershock of Shen Wuyi's attack. Yet, even as his body cried for rest, his aura refused to fade. It flickered, unstable, but the golden radiance of the Vein of the Great Rage still pulsed through his body, refusing to let him collapse.
A murmur spread through the arena.
The elders of the Boundless Divine Kingdom sighed in relief, their tensed bodies loosening ever so slightly.
From her seat above, the Lightless Divine Regent remained expressionless. She had shown no concern throughout the battle, yet even she had not expected Shen Wuyi's power to reach such a level. Her fingers, hidden beneath her sleeves, tapped lightly against her armrest.
Among them—
Yun Che's hands clenched into fists.
"Damn it!"
His prayers had gone unanswered.
Dian Jiuzhi was still standing.
And Shen Wuyi—
She had nothing left.
Nothing.
"Cough... cough... cough..."
Each ragged breath rattled through Dian Jiuzhi's chest, his body convulsing violently as another mouthful of blood splattered from his lips.
The golden glow around him flickered, dimmed, then surged again— erratic, unstable, as if his body itself was struggling to contain the power of the vein.
Cracks spread across his aura like fractured glass, yet even through the pain, his bloodstained gaze never wavered.
Gone was the smug arrogance, the haughty pride.
Gone was the false pretense of a gentleman's grace.
All that remained—
Was madness.
His veins pulsed grotesquely, the ancient patterns on his forehead expanding, spreading like wildfire across his face, chest, and arms.
His vision blurred.
His mind burned.
Everything around him—
Was drowned in rage.
"Ugh....argh...."
"You...."
"You... YOU... YOUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!"
His roar shook the battlefield, his voice no longer that of a man—
But a beast.
A beast who had lost all reason.
Then—
"DIEEEEEEE!!!!!!"
A violent BOOOOOM erupted as Dian Jiuzhi's golden aura exploded outward!
He launched himself forward, his figure streaking across the battlefield like a falling star!
His power and speed surged past the limits of Divine Extinction—
Bordering the realm of the Divine Limited Realm!
"!!!!!!!!!!"
