Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 1232: Skyfire As A Saber

Stark raised his arm and flicked his fingers. A seven-colored ribbon of light blocked the path of the White Emperor Sword. This spatial rift flashed towards the White Emperor Sword. The two collided, but the White Emperor Sword drilled through the ribbon of light and was unaffected in the slightest. Stark's heart skipped a beat. After Lucy's golden rose, his spatial rift failed again. He didn't know that the bullet fired by Golden Rose had the ability to pierce through all defenses and was a real attack. As for the White Emperor Sword, it was the projection of the will energy of the sword pillar in the lava well. It was neither physical nor Origin Energy-shaped, so naturally, the spatial ribbon of light could not stop it.

In the blink of an eye, the White Emperor's sword had

Stark hurriedly leaned backwards, the White Emperor Sword flashing past his forehead, cutting off a few strands of his hair, but still rushing forward. He pulled back his body and looked back, only to see that the white flame sword flew several hundred meters before turning around and rising straight into the sky. The White Emperor Sword dragged along the azure tail flames, smashing into the sky like a missile. In the sky was Stark's Skull!

Stark's pupils constricted.

At this time, the Red Skull also realized the threat. Several high-speed energy cannons dropped from the bottom of the ship, and the barrels were adjusted to fire. In an instant, crimson energy beams intercepted each other. Without a doubt, the artillery fire intertwined into a dense firepower net. If the White Emperor Sword was really a missile, it would have been successfully detonated by the Red Skull. Unfortunately, the White Emperor Sword was unable to block even the spatial rift, let alone these energy beams.

Stark could only shoot out two rainbow ribbons of light as if they were human beings, but he watched helplessly as the White Emperor Sword passed through the cannon fire, through his spatial rift, and finally sank into the bottom of the Red Skull.

A moment later, the starship swayed like a drunken drunkard. The Red Skull's bow violently swung out of control, and muffled noises and metal groans could be heard from the inside of the ship. Stark was dumbfounded as he watched a white light pierce out of the middle of the ship, bringing with it sparks and countless pieces of parts that flew out. Then more white light flew out from the corners of the Red Skull. In the blink of an eye, the starship had become riddled with holes. Strands of thick black smoke accompanied by flames shot out from the gap in the ship's hull, and the starship began to tilt and slide down. During this process, some aliens were even thrown out of the ship's hull, screaming as they fell from the sky and fell to the ground, turning into mud.

Suddenly, a dazzling flame sprayed out from the middle of the hull. The White Emperor Sword was the most frequently attacked, and the hull structure was severely damaged. In addition, the enormous inertia caused the hull structure to be unable to withstand it any longer, causing the hull to disintegrate. The Red Skull finally broke into two halves as it rotated. The front and rear halves of the ship flew in different directions and finally landed on the ground more than ten kilometers away. Two balls of fire immediately rose from the landing point, followed by an earth-shattering series of explosions. The flames that rushed up almost reached the electric clouds in the sky, and the shock waves of the explosion swept past Stark and Alan, causing Stark's black hair to rise upside down, covering most of his face.

After the shock wave disappeared, the impact point of the starship had already turned into a sea of fire. No matter what, the Red Skull was finished.

"Now, you have no way out, right?"

Stark turned around. Amidst the rising dark flames, Alan's cold voice came from behind the mist and fire.

"So you were aiming for my starship from the start!" Stark said hatefully. Although he didn't have the Red Skull, he still had other starships to guide him. It wasn't as if he wouldn't be able to leave this nameless planet without the Red Skull. However, Ellen slapped him heavily. After all, Ellen had destroyed the Red Skull right under his nose, and he could not stop it.

"Then I want to see who is the desperate stray dog!" He snorted coldly as his figure flickered as he flew towards Alan. At the same time, he stretched out his hand and flicked it, causing rainbow ribbons of light to flash by his side.

Allen went straight towards him, and with a thought, the remaining White Emperor Sword whirled and slashed away. It easily pierced through the spatial rift and slashed towards Stark's waist. The latter's feet paused as he soared into the sky, causing the White Emperor Sword to slash through the air. But in midair, Stark suddenly felt a domineering aura pressing down on his head. He raised his head and saw that there were some white fireflies flickering in the sky, like waving Mo Li flowers.

The white fireflies rapidly expanded, turning out to be dots of azure flames. Thousands of azure flames gathered in midair like a school of fish returning to the sea. In a blink of an eye, they condensed into a white flame sword that shot down towards Stark's back!

Stark shouted, his skin quickly turning red and purple. The Pirate Emperor's aura exploded at the same time, and the surrounding space was distorted by the terrifying Origin Energy.

Second phase reverse blood!

Stark, who had obtained Dolby's innate talent through the Calamity Circuit, used the second stage of the Blood-Defying Ability to gain unparalleled power. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the ground. The ground immediately rose and shattered, forming a pair of palm prints. With the help of his Qi, he pulled himself back to the ground from mid-air, and the White Emperor Sword that descended from the sky shot into the air.

At this moment, Allen drilled through the two spatial rifts, rolled on the ground, and leapt into the air. Raising the Red King high in his hand, the blade spat out black and red explosive flames. Alan shouted after the mist and fire, and Red King slashed down. The surrounding sparks flew over and converged into the explosive flames. The color of the flames completely turned dark black. At the end of the saber, Stark's long clothes and legs, and the ground around his feet, ignited without fire.

As for the blade in front of him, it was filled with boundless energy, and it had the power to split mountains and seas! Stark let out a muffled roar and suppressed his aura. The flames at his feet were extinguished by him. He raised his fist and took a step back, pushing the edge of the fist straight into Red King's saber.

The two of them were shocked at the same time.

Stark's robes suddenly bulged, and strands of scarlet flames suddenly burst out from under his robes. A boundless aura burst forth and burned his robes. Stark's purple skin was more than purple, and it was deep and nearly black. He took a few steps back, and a few strands of blood oozed out from the corner of his mouth.

The explosive flames on Allen's saber sealed Stark's fist back into Red King, and a huge amount of energy flowed back into Allen's body along the saber. Alan opened his mouth, and dark explosive flames sprayed out from his mouth, turning into a fire dragon that continued to charge towards Stark. However, the fire dragon could see blood droplets glittering with red light. However, these blood droplets were quickly activated by the flames, so fast that even Stark didn't notice them.

As the fire dragon rushed over, Stark sneered and stretched out his fingers, drawing a circle towards the incoming fire wave. Immediately, a bright, round spot appeared in front of him. The fire dragon threw itself into the round spot and disappeared. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief after blocking the fire dragon, he suddenly felt two tyrannical auras coming from the left and right. It turned out to be Alan's two White Emperor Swords from before. Two white flame swords, one on the left and one on the right, pierced through each other like a dragon. One flew straight, like lightning. Facing these two White Emperor Swords, Stark could only helplessly choose to avoid them.

Alan took the opportunity to slash at Stark's chest. The two White Emperor Swords that slashed through the air took a turn in mid-air, then each took a crafty angle to attack back. For a moment, Stark felt as if he was being surrounded by three experts. This feeling made him feel so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

On the other side of the battlefield, the battle between Alan and Stark had already come to an end in the blink of an eye.

Admittedly, the two Sword Slaves and the eighteen Shield Slaves that Stark had painstakingly nurtured were extraordinary. Adding on Diego, who was not weak, this force could be considered elite. However, the three followers on Allen's side were far better than Stark in terms of quality.

The strongest of the three was Hubble. After experiencing so much, this Gatu expert had already reached Level 28. This level of strength was enough to shock one side, whether it was in the Federation or Heavenly Star. Now that Hubble was facing Stark's weakest Blue Shield Slave, it was simply a one-sided massacre. Hubble didn't even need to activate his Fallen Body. With his own strength and combat skills, the double-edged axe in his hand swept across the area, causing a bloody storm to erupt everywhere.

The Blue Shield Slave's piercing shield was like paper in front of Hubble's axe. The weight of the axe and Hubble's Origin Energy combined made it impossible to block even a single axe. As the battle axe swept past, it was the result of the destruction of the shield. Thus, Hubble crashed into the Blue Shield Slave, but he had already killed more than half of it in a short period of time.

Belmord, who was slightly weaker than Hubble, fought Diego. Even though he wasn't as strong as Hubble, he activated Primordial Chaos Sin. Belmord, who had transformed into a Black Knight, still firmly suppressed Diego's spear. Even with Diego's spear, he still couldn't break through the encirclement formed by Belmord's Primordial Blade. After a long battle, Diego was already contaminated by the negative energy of primordial chaos, and his combat strength was slowly being worn away by Belmord.

During the intense battle, Diego took time to sweep his eyes across the battlefield, and his heart was filled with retreat. Blue-skinned Shield Slave had almost been swept away by Hubble. Once Hubble killed the last Shield Slave and helped Belmord, that would be his death. However, he didn't know that Belmord hadn't unleashed his Eye of Original Sin yet. Otherwise, Diego would have been defeated long ago if the two killing weapons had been unleashed at the same time.

As for Laura, although she fought against Stark's two strongest sword slaves, she still had the upper hand. If there was a ten percent offensive, then Laura would account for at least 65 percent of the offensive, while Merry's two sword slaves would only account for the remaining thirty percent. Under the suppression of Laura's call, the two sword slaves felt like they couldn't do anything.

Under the call of the ancestor, Laura surpassed the two Sword Servants in terms of strength and speed. In addition, the Blood Shattering Giant Sword that continuously emitted dark red cutting wave energy was even more incomparable to the broadsword in the Sword Servant's hand, which was at best of good quality. Whether it was their own strength or the quality of their weapons, the Sword Servants were at a disadvantage. How could they fight such a battle? Especially after the Red Skull was destroyed by Allen's White Emperor Sword, Merry's fighting spirit was greatly reduced.

Once again, the broadsword in Merry's hand could no longer withstand the blow of Sha Xue. The broadsword broke in the middle, and the broken blade spun to refract the halo of light and jumped more than ten meters away. With a loud sound, it pierced into the ground. Merry was absent-minded and caught Laura with one hand. The latter raised his long leg and kicked Merry's chest heavily. As the circular shockwave spread out, Merry flew out and flew backwards. She heard a dense sound of bones shattering from her chest!

"Merry!"

Another sword slave shouted, and the broadsword swung out purple sword patterns, attacking Laura like crazy.

Merry fell to the ground and the sky spun. She instinctively got up, but heard her sisters shouting in front of her, "Be careful, get down!"

In her trance, she only saw a streak of blood lightning shoot towards her. Only when her gaze was refocused could she clearly see that the blood bolt was actually the blood brake in Laura's hand. Laura used the gigantic sword as a javelin. She first withdrew from the Sword Servant's attack circle, and then used her full Origin Energy to throw out Sha Xue. The giant sword pulled up a red light like lightning, causing a wave of air to flash across the ground. Just as Merry got up, the Sword Servant let out an earth-shattering scream. Both of his hands fiercely grabbed Sha Xue, wanting to stop the giant sword.

From afar, a bolt of blood lightning was in Merry's hand, but it still pierced through her chest. Merry's flesh and blood were almost cut off by the edge of the sword. The giant sword finally stopped, but half of the sword still came out from behind her. Merry opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she finally fell down. Sha Xue supported her body and became a cruel scene on the battlefield.

The remaining Sword Servant attacked crazily with his sword. Laura didn't stop bleeding and was forced to retreat. Suddenly, the violet sword light in front of her was isolated by a black shadow. Laura then heard Hubble's loud shout. It turned out that the people of Gatu had already killed all the shield slaves. Seeing that Belmord was holding the victory voucher steadily, he ignored Diego and stabbed his axe into the battle circle between Laura and the Sword Servant. He swept his axe over, causing the sword servant's purple sword lights to scatter and shatter.

Laura made her move and bent her fingers in the direction of Merry's corpse. The Blood Braking Sword shook several times and sent Merry's corpse flying. The sword flew backwards, turning into a streak of red lightning and returning to Laura's palm. Just as she grasped the giant sword, Laura's heart trembled and she looked up. At the same time, she wasn't the only one who felt it. Both Hubble and Belmord sensed it and carelessly pushed their opponents back. Then, they raised their heads and looked up at the sky.

At some unknown time, a sea of fire vortex appeared in the center of the electric cloud above everyone's heads. Within the vortex, a fire waterfall hung down.

Void Skyfire!

Alan was standing right under the waterfall. His feet were differentiated, his arms raised, and Red King was centered above his head. Alan shouted softly as the mist and flames soared. The raised saber slashed towards Stark's direction. The Skyfire Flowing Waterfall halfway down suddenly took a turn in mid-air and stabbed straight at Stark like a giant scarlet saber.

The Heavenly Flame was used as a saber. This saber strike was domineering and filled with energy. Stark felt that the Origin Energy in his body was about to resonate and ignite. The two White Emperor Swords that were entangling him suddenly flew backwards, turning into two slender streaks of azure flames and throwing them into the giant Heavenly Flame Saber. The slender white flames were quickly swallowed by the Vermilion Flame, but the edge of the Skyfire Saber instantly turned from red to white, releasing patches of white azure flames that added to its might.

The white and red flame saber struck.

Stark shouted, his body bursting with intense arcs of lightning. Without retreating, he raised his fist and threw a punch straight at the Skyfire Saber.

The ten-meter blade at the front of the fire saber immediately exploded into a ball of fire mist. However, in the vortex of the Heavenly Cloud Sea, the Heavenly Flame continued to descend, so the Fire Saber continued to advance. Even though Stark had destroyed the Blade, the old edge had dissipated and the new edge had revived, and there was still no end to it.

Stark's pupils contracted as he raised his other hand and punched again.

One punch and two palms.

His palms stretched out with ten fingers, and it was actually the blade that constantly tore apart the fire saber. Stark's purple skin was as dark as ink, and his Origin Energy surged out frantically without holding back. His palms and hands sprayed out fiercely towards the Skyfire Blade.

On the ground, the Red King in Allen's hand was trembling, and the blade was bright red, as if blood was about to drip.

In midair, the Heavenly Fire Saber began to arch in an arc. The arc of the saber continued to arch up and spread out, and when the bottom of the arc was about to become full. Stark shouted, and the Skyfire Saber exploded in the middle, shooting out billions of streams of fire. Amongst the countless streams of flaming saber qi, the scarlet sky fire and the pale white flame threads merged together, forming countless jet streams. It was like a dense drizzle that fell onto the ground, enveloping the earth in square kilometers.

The line of fire landed on Allen's rising mist and fire, not even a single ripple could be seen. However, for the rest of the people on the ground, this drizzle was not something they could withstand so easily. Laura and the others, regardless of whether they were enemies or friends, tacitly retreated backwards, and then used their respective combat skills to block the spray of fire. After the rain of fire fell, the earth turned into a sea of fire.

Within the sea of flames, sparks of white fireflies rose, transforming into slender beams of pale flames that gathered on both sides of Allen's body, condensing into two white emperor swords that floated in midair. Alan looked up from the mist and flames. A circle of ripples spread out from the exploding fire clouds in the sky, and the fire clouds were immediately swept away. Stark slowly floated down from midair. He looked very miserable. Not to mention the many burnt holes in his coat, there were many dark red flames on the skin of his palm beside his face.

Stark's complexion changed from black to purple, from purple to red, and finally, the blush disappeared. His complexion returned to normal, but it was only three points paler than normal fashion.

He looked at Ellen for a long time before he said, "Only at this moment did I dare to believe that you have already crossed the level 30 barrier and walked on the path of the ancestral descendants. Then, your current posture is a sign of returning to your ancestors, right? But why haven't I seen your ancestral blade?"

"All you see now is my atavism, Dark King." Allen's voice came from the mist and fire. Ever since he was forced to awaken by Gulliver's Wall Mountain on Planet Heaven, Allen had completely embarked on the path of ancestral descent.

In other words, awakening into the Son of Twilight was originally a phenomenon of atavism. After that, he activated his atavism posture again, but he did not awaken into the Son of Twilight. Instead, he was now in this state. This form could be regarded as a weakened version of the Son of Twilight. It did not have the berserk power that Orfasis had when he fought, and its physical signs were obviously different. The most obvious thing was that there was no rock armor, no horns, and no dark wings formed by the mist and fire. Even the White Emperor Sword did not form a sword wheel, but could only project out two.

Therefore, Allen named this gesture after the title of Monarch he had obtained in the World of Will, to distinguish it from the Son of Twilight.

Although the Dark King's posture was far inferior to the Twilight Son's, Alan could have a clear will, unlike when he awakened into the Twilight Son, he was dominated by a violent will. He only wanted to destroy all the life he saw, and if he hadn't heard Lucy's voice, he wouldn't have been able to wake up and withdraw from that state.

However, even with the Dark King's state, Stark felt threatened. Especially Allen's ability to use Skyfire as a saber was clearly on the same level as his. Because Stark grasped violent spatial power, spatial power was clearly higher than the others in the universe's Origin Energy, but it was still a bit lower than the void's Origin Energy.

Alan had a higher level of Origin Energy, which was precisely what Stark was worried about.

Once again, he thought of the flames that were everywhere in the dream.
