Requiem Of The Fallen.

The two warriors clashed in a spectacular display of martial prowess, their movements lightning-fast as they exchanged blows. The air was filled with the sound of crashing energy, the ground shaking beneath their feet as they fought.

Tianyang's shoulder was a mass of pain, the wound inflicted by Ryūjin's metal-energy infused sword still bleeding profusely. But he refused to yield, drawing upon his vast reserves of energy to launch a counterattack.

Ryūjin, however, was relentless, his own energy fueled by his malevolent intentions. The two warriors clashed, their powers locked in a struggle that seemed to shake the very foundations of the earth.

The grounds cracked and splintered, buildings shattering beneath the force of their blows. The air was filled with the acrid smell of ozone, the sound of crashing energy echoing through the landscape like thunder.

And then, in an instant, Liè Renwǒ came to his senses. The demonic energy still coursed through his veins, but he was no longer its slave. His eyes swept the battlefield, taking in the carnage and destruction wrought by his own hand.

His gaze fell upon Xiǎo Wēi's lifeless body, and a cry of anguish tore from his throat. The demonic energy surged through him once more, but this time, he harnessed its power.

With a single, mighty blow, Liè Renwǒ unleashed the full fury of his twelve-tier cultivation. The energy exploded outward, a blast of destruction that obliterated the Heavenly Above Faction Sect.

When the dust settled, only Tianyang and Ryūjin remained, both warriors injured but still standing. Ryūjin's eyes gleamed with malevolent intent, his laughter echoing through the desolate landscape.

The desolate landscape was eerily silent, the only sound the soft crunch of rubble beneath the feet of the few remaining survivors. Liè Renwǒ's eyes blazed with fury as he charged towards Ryūjin, his fists flying in a flurry of punches that the latter couldn't dodge.

Ryūjin's laughter echoed through the air, his eyes gleaming with malevolent intent even as he stumbled backward under Liè Renwǒ's relentless assault.

Just as Liè Renwǒ was about to deliver the killing blow, three goddesses materialized on the battlefield.

- Xiao Yu Hua - Goddess of Jade Destruction, Peak Bronze Stage (Dong Tong Du)

- Ling Bo Wang - Goddess of Spiritual Chaos, Late Silver Stage (Yin Hon Du)

- Mei Xie Dian - Goddess of Beautiful Lightning, Early Gold Stage (Jin Chu Du),

Their faces etched with anger. "Who dares to wreak havoc on our realm?" one of them thundered.

Tianyang hastily intervened, grasping Liè Renwǒ's arm in an attempt to restrain him. "Wait, Liè Renwǒ! They're goddesses – we can't afford to provoke them!"

Liè Renwǒ shook off Tianyang's grip, his eyes flashing with defiance. "I'll challenge them to the end!" he declared, his voice dripping with determination.

The goddesses' faces darkened with anger, and one of them summoned a massive, ethereal palm that descended from the sky like a thunderbolt. "You dare to defy us?" she spat.

Ryūjin, sensing an opportunity to escape, turned to flee – but one of the goddesses caught him in a burst of light, banishing him to a mystical prison cell.

Liè Renwǒ, undaunted, raised his hands to block the descending palm. The impact was tremendous, the force of the blow sending shockwaves through the ground.

Tianyang watched in horror as Liè Renwǒ stumbled backward, his body battered by the relentless pressure. The goddesses, sensing victory within their grasp, poured even more energy into the palm.

The ground trembled, the skies grew dark, and Liè Renwǒ's body seemed on the verge of collapse. But then, a miracle occurred – five brilliant, shimmering lights erupted from beneath the palm, imbuing Liè Renwǒ's body with an extraordinary energy.

The palm, its power disrupted by the sudden influx of energy, began to crack and shatter. Liè Renwǒ's body, now aglow with an intense, golden light, began to rise into the air.

As the goddesses watched in stunned silence, Liè Renwǒ's body reached the Iron Stage, a realm of power previously thought to be the exclusive domain of the gods.Liè Renwǒ's transformation was nothing short of breathtaking. His hair turned a brilliant white, and the pendant mark on his neck migrated to his forehead, where it shone like a phoenix emblem. His eyes gleamed with an unearthly green light, and his face, now chiseled and handsome, wore a serious, unyielding expression.

His attire, too, had changed – he now wore a gorgeous warrior's garb, complete with intricate, shimmering patterns that seemed to dance in the light. With a fierce cry, Liè Renwǒ launched himself into the air, soaring towards the goddesses with a fierce determination.

The goddesses, taken aback by Liè Renwǒ's sudden transformation, swiftly separated into three distinct entities, each one radiating an intense, divine energy.

"We'll crush you, mortal!" one of the goddesses spat, her voice like thunder. "You dare to challenge the gods?"

Liè Renwǒ's response was a defiant laugh, his eyes flashing with green fire. "I'll take you down, one by one!" he declared, his voice ringing through the skies.

The battle that followed was nothing short of epic – Liè Renwǒ clashed with the goddesses in a spectacular display of martial prowess, his movements lightning-fast as he dodged and weaved between their divine attacks.

Liè Renwǒ's battle with the goddesses was a clash of titans, each side trading blows that shook the very foundations of the realm. But despite his valiant efforts, Liè Renwǒ was unaware of the treacherous attack that was about to strike him down.

One of the goddesses, with a cunning smile, had secretly unleashed a powerful mental sword that pierced Liè Renwǒ's mind, threatening to shatter his very soul.

But just as all hope seemed lost, Tianyang threw himself into the fray, using his own body to shield Liè Renwǒ from the mental sword's deadly blow. The sword pierced Tianyang's heart, and with a soft gasp, he fell to the ground, his life slipping away.

Liè Renwǒ's eyes widened in horror as he watched his friend and ally die before his eyes. His eyes turned a milky white, and his body began to tremble with rage.

The three goddesses, sensing victory within their grasp, combined their powers for a final, devastating attack. A blast of divine energy shot towards Liè Renwǒ, threatening to obliterate him from existence.

Liè Renwǒ, his mind consumed by grief and anger, stood frozen, awaiting the inevitable blow...
