Chapter 42: A Painful Blow
Rumble... Rumble... Rumble...
The sky rumbled while the hills trembled as the dragon hand descended.
Wherever that hand passed, space instantly distorted while the spiritual mist was also swept away.
"Hisss..."
Alu took a deep breath as she looked up at the sky.
Even though Alu had already reached the Life and Death stage, and he also possessed the power of the Primordial God Body, Alu still felt a great threat from the hands that descended on him.
Such an attack, not even the usual peak of the Life and Death stage could unleash such a powerful attack. If Alu hadn't broken through yet, he would definitely die immediately under that dragon's fist attack.
Boom...
Right after Alu took a breath, boundless spiritual energy immediately erupted from Alu's body.
Alu didn't dare to hold back his strength. He even directly let go of his Yin-Yang symbol, releasing all his spiritual resources.
But Alu didn't stop there.
"Phoenix God Blessing." Said Alu in a low voice.
After Alu said that, a black fire lotus suddenly appeared on Alu's forehead.
Boom...
Alu's body once again erupted, releasing an aura that made the mountains tremble.
Whooss... Whooss... Whooss...
One by one spiritual sources once again surged from within Alu's body. And in just a moment, Alu's spiritual source instantly exceeded thirteen thousand spiritual sources.
The increase in spiritual source made the pressure released by Alu's body surge once again.
Right now, just the pressure that Alu released was enough to render the usual peak of the Life and Death stage unable to breathe.
Only Alu knew how strong he was now, and this even made Alu admire himself.
However, even with Alu's current strength, he still felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw the dragon hand that descended on him.
ALU really didn't expect Elizabeth's first act when they met on the holy path would actually be to unleash such a powerful attack.
"Huh."
Alu took another breath.
Now Alu is in combat ready condition. Even if Elizabeth's attacks were powerful, Alu was still confident in his strength.
Whooss...
Right after Alu took a breath, black flames once again surged from Alu's body, and this time it was even more violent than before.
Phoenix God Domain.
This time ALU immediately unleashed the full power of the Phoenix God Domain. ALU wants to use the domain power to weaken the dragon hand strength before trying to hold it back.
In an instant, the area within a hundred kilometers radius around Alu was instantly covered with black flames.
"Hahahaha, don't think you can endure it." Elizabeth's shout once again resounded as Alu released his Phoenix God Domain.
After Elizabeth's words, Elizabeth's dragon hand's descending speed instantly became faster.
In an instant, it had arrived right before the flames of the God Phoenix Domain.
Busss...
The Phoenix God Domain was not a kind of barrier force. It obviously couldn't block the dragon's hand movements.
Like a fish in the water, that enormous dragon hand easily broke into the Phoenix God Domain.
It descended downward extremely fast, and wherever the hand passed, it instantly split open the flames of the Phoenix God Domain.
Only after it barged in, only then did Alu realize how powerful it was. It was definitely more powerful than ALU had expected.
"Mm..."
ALU does not remain silent. Seeing his Phoenix God Domain directly being split open, Alu instantly released even more power. And Alu also tried to focus the flames of the Phoenix God Domain onto the dragon's hand.
Buzzz...
A boundless stream of black flames then gathered towards the dragon hand. It looks like lava flowing after a volcanic eruption.
Zzzzz...
That had caused the Phoenix God Domain's zone to drastically decrease, but compared to before, it was definitely a lot better.
This time, the dragon's hand was no longer able to move freely. When met with the flames, the dragon's hand speed as it dropped began to slow down a little.
The dragon's hand could no longer pass through the flames so easily. Even though it continued to descend downward, it was also starting to burn.
Under the continuous bursts of flames, the scales on the dragon's hand had even begun to peel off.
As the scales peeled off and lost their source of power, it was even burned to ashes instantly.
ALU feels a little relieved when he sees that the flames can counterattack the dragon hand. But Alu also didn't dare to act casually at this time.
The flames only inflicted damage to the dragon's hand, but it was far from enough to solve it.
"Now is the time we see how strong the Primordial God Body is." Said Alu.
After Alu said that, a white light then shone from his body.
There was no visible change in Alu's body other than the white light that was emitting. However, even though the body still looked like before, it started releasing a different pressure.
The pressure gave people the feeling as if a mountain had fallen over their heads.
Shua...
Alu then jumped up after he released the Primordial God Body.
Whooss...
ALU flew in full speed amidst the flames of the Divine Phoenix Domain. Flames then blazed under Alu's feet and it instantly increased his speed as he soared upwards. He is like an eagle lunging at its prey.
Even though Alu's body looked very small, but when he flew upwards, the air within a few kilometers above Alu was pushed upwards as if something was pushing them from below.
Even though Alu looked very small compared to a dragon's hand, he gave people the feeling as if he was a mountain.
It only took an instant for Alu to arrive in front of the dragon fist.
When he arrived, Alu immediately directed his tightly clenched fist towards the dragon fist above him.
And when Alu sent out his fist, a white light that looked like the sun then shone from his hand. And when that light shone, Alu's hand suddenly turned very clear. It looked like a shiny diamond.
The pressure released by Alu immediately jumped drastically after Alu's hands turned like diamonds. Right now, Alu gave people the feeling as if he were dozens of mountains.
The strength he was releasing at this time made Alu quite confident.
An instant later, Alu's fist finally met the dragon's fist.
Even though the two fists were of different sizes, it didn't give people a different feeling.
"Hmph."
Just before the two fists met, a cold snort suddenly sounded from above.
"Don't think you can get away." Elizabeth's voice echoed.
But Alu didn't have a chance to digest Elizabeth's words because their fists had met.
Boom...
Alu's fist and dragon's fist collided, and as it happened, an extremely loud boom resounded across thousands of kilometers.
However, when their fists met, Alu suddenly furrowed his brows because what happened was not what Alu expected.
The power of his fists was truly extraordinary. With the dragon hand's strength drastically reduced from being burnt by the flames, Alu initially thought he would have a slight edge in this confrontation. After all, he used two techniques at once.
However, the opposite happened.
Bruakkk....
The enormous dragon's hand started to crack the moment it met Alu's fist. But compared to the dragon hand, Alu's condition was actually much worse.
As their fists collided, Alu suddenly felt a burst of power from the dragon fist, and the burst of power instantly pushed Alu's body down.
Alu didn't have time to escape. His body was immediately thrown down.
Whooss...
Even Divine Phoenix Alu's Domain was swept along as Alu's body was thrown down.
Alu's speed when his body was blown away was even faster than when he flew before.
Boom...
In just an instant, Alu's body had already hit the ground below.
Only that naturally wouldn't be able to injure Alu, but right after he landed on the ground, Alu's eyes couldn't help but widened. It was because he saw that the dragon's fist was already directly above him.
ALU doesn't know how it happened and he doesn't want to think about it now either.
Even though the dragon's fist was already full of cracks and its strength was drastically reduced, taking such an attack would still injure Alu.
Unfortunately Alu really didn't have time to escape. The only thing Alu could do was to fully push the Primordial God Body's strength to strengthen his endurance.
Boom...
The fist then hit Alu's body which was still lying on the ground.
Bruak...
It pushed Alu's body down and the ground under Alu was pushed down too. In just an instant, the ground beneath Alu had already turned into a crater that was a hundred meters wide.
Like the fall of a mountain, Alu immediately coughed up blood as his body took the blow.
But even though it hurt a lot, Alu's mouth didn't let out the slightest scream of pain.
Luckily after the dragon fist hit him, the dragon fist also collapsed completely.
The huge dragon hand then slowly disappeared, making the sky above begin to unfold little by little.
And when the sky was revealed, Alu saw the figure of a woman with golden hair and blue eyes descending towards him.
Quite surprising Alu because Elizabeth no longer covers her face when she appears in front of him.
