Ascension of The Unholy Immortal-Chapter 286: Dual Essences

Without waiting for Lin Xue’s response, Liang swiftly summoned two imposing runes that materialized above him. The first rune glinted ominously black while the second was hazy and gray.

The black rune vanished and seamlessly merged with Liang’s body, enveloping him in an ethereal shroud of darkness. Abyssal Armor spread across his form, transforming his skin into a shimmering void of obsidian. Jet-black spikes extended from his gauntlets and boots, giving him the appearance of a demonic warlord.

Liang’s eyes flickered with an unholy glow, their depths shimmering like a starless abyss

The gray rune, Voidforge Rune, transformed into a streak of light and etched itself on his forehead. Instantly, Liang’s aura surged, distorting the space around him.

The Abyssal Armament Rune’s energy began to merge with his Voidwing Sword, its blade turning an eerie pitch black. With a determined gaze, Liang raised his sword and swung it fiercely in Lin Xue’s direction.

Abyssal Void Slash!

Darkness and void converged at the sword’s tip, creating a fracture in the very fabric of space. The pitch-black sword ray shot towards Lin Xue with terrifying speed and force.

Recognizing the overwhelming power of the attack, Lin Xue knew that it would be unwise to try to defend against it directly.

In response, he hurled his trident toward the incoming sword strike. The trident transformed mid-air into a magnificent azure dragon. Wasting no time, Lin Xue summoned his remaining runes, and in a blink, the Imperial Dragon Palace Array took form, its majestic structure emerging once again.

Boom!

A deafening explosion echoed as the azure dragon was obliterated by the sword ray. The destructive force continued, and in an instant, the sword ray loomed perilously close to Lin Xue.

Yet, Lin Xue’s visage remained calm and unworried. With a subtle flick of his finger, the Dragon Palace doors swung open, and a formidable dragon emerged with incredible speed. This new dragon had five heads, its scaly body gleaming a vibrant azure.

Each of the dragon’s five heads opened its jaws wide, and five streams of colorful energy converged into a blazing multicolored fireball. The multicolored fireball collided with the incoming sword ray.

Boom!

A terrifying explosion rang out, sending shockwaves through the entire dimension. Both mighty attacks neutralized each other, filling the air with residual energy.

"The attacking power of this Five-Headed Elemental Dragon exceeds that of the Azure Divine Dragon," Liang thought, his eyes narrowing as he assessed the new threat. "But it has one significant flaw."

Liang’s face radiated with a confident smile as he advanced towards the Dragon with unwavering steps.

The mighty dragon roared with an earth-shattering intensity, its colossal claws poised to strike Liang with deadly precision.

Undeterred, Liang brandished his sword and met the dragon’s claws head-on in a deafening clash. A thunderous shockwave erupted from the impact, propelling both combatants backwards.

Startled gasps rippled through the crowd, both inside and outside the arena. To their astonishment, Liang had withstood the dragon’s onslaught, appearing to be an equal match in terms of strength.

With lightning speed, Liang propelled himself above the dragon and unleashed another relentless strike. The unprepared beast lunged to evade his blade, but its efforts proved futile as one of its five fearsome heads was severed with a clean slice.

Horror spread across Lin Xue’s face as he witnessed the decimation of one of the dragon’s heads. What he had just witnessed defied his understanding.

Driven by rage, the now four-headed Dragon roared with deafening fury. It unleashed a torrential onslaught of elemental energy waves, each wave imbued with the destructive forces of nature.

Liang’s lips curved into a devilish grin as he raised his hand distorting the fabric of the space, In an instant, the waves changed it’s direction and surged towards Lin Xue, catching him unsuspecting.

With wide eyes filled with terror, Lin Xue desperately attempted to dodge, but his agility proved insufficient. One of his arms was severed by the relentless elemental forces, leaving a gaping wound that spewed crimson blood upon the arena’s surface.

The Dragon’s roar escalated in volume as it charged towards Liang with renewed ferocity. Liang, however, remained unfazed. His Voidforge rune , flickered into life as he teleported behind the Dragon and, with a swift stroke, decapitated another of its heads.

The Dragon whirled around in confusion, but Liang’s presence had vanished. Moments later, he materialized in front of Lin Xue, his malicious grin as sharp as the blade he wielded.

Lin Xue’s face grew ashen as he attempted to fend off Liang’s advance with his Trident, but his efforts were swiftly extinguished. A second arm was severed, leaving him armless and utterly vulnerable.

Blood spattered across the arena as Liang approached the defenseless Lin Xue, his smile twisted in amusement.

The Dragon, now reduced to three heads, watched in horror as Liang teleported behind it once more.

With a sickening thud, another head fell from the Dragon’s body.

The crowd erupted in a chorus of shock and disbelief. Never before had they witnessed such a display of overwhelming power and ruthless precision.

"What kind of power is that?" a low-level expert couldn’t help but exclaim, his eyes wide with astonishment.

"It’s the void essence!" another expert responded, his voice tinged with awe as he took a deep breath."Indeed, he has formed a void essence," an elder confirmed, taking a deep, steadying breath. "Ordinary void power runes wouldn’t be able to elevate his strength to such an extent."

"It’s not just one essence," one of the paragons remarked grimly,

One of the paragons spoke with a grim tone, "It’s not just one essence."

The elder nodded in agreement, continuing, "Yes, the other rune he possesses also contains its essence."

"A dual essence expert," a Runic Mastery expert blurted out, barely containing his excitement.

"He only used two runes, right?" another Runic Mastery expert questioned with a puzzled expression.

No one answered, leaving the question hanging in the air like a dense mist. It was clear that no one among them had a definitive answer.

"Interesting," Dong Tian Di said with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, clearly reveling in the unfolding drama. "This Liang isn’t simple."

Back inside the parallel dimension...

Lin Xue glared at his dragon, now reduced to a single head, and then turned his furious gaze toward Liang.

He knew exactly what Liang had done. It was a deliberate humiliation, a calculated move to make him appear defenseless and powerless before everyone.

Determination sparked in Lin Xue’s eyes. He had never attempted this before, but desperate times called for desperate measures.

The palace suddenly begin to trembled. The dragon transformed into a cascade of multicolored light and vanished within the palace walls.
