Chapter 2537: Final Showdown on the Summit of the Great Ruins

Innocent's pupils also constricted sharply. Dodging the Instant Slash with sheer speed alone?
Was that something a person could do?
This was the first time Innocent had encountered such a thing. For some reason, at this moment, Jiangnan always gave off the feeling of being like the center of the world!
And even his gaze unconsciously fell on him, as if it couldn't be moved away!

In reality, it wasn't that Jiangnan's reaction speed was that fast, but that space told Jiangnan everything!
Under the Starry Sky Sovereign's Third Domain, it seemed completely normal—not even detectable as a domain, only because Jiangnan hadn't activated anything!
Constantly maintaining a state of integration with space, even the slightest change in space would be fed back to Jiangnan in real time!
He didn't even need to look!
Although the Instant Slash came from a higher-dimensional attack, in essence it still descended into three dimensions to kill, appearing the moment it was sensed by Jiangnan!
Add to that the Warp Speed Drive, and naturally he could dodge it.

As for Xuexue, Jiangnan was even less worried. She wasn't weak enough to need him to hold her in his arms at all times!

But! Jiangnan was still furious!
Even though Innocent's two slashes missed, he still had to make up for them!
Innocent gripped the sword hilt with one hand, about to move!
Night Emperor anxiously warned:
(งᵒ̌┏།皿།┓ᵒ̌)ง "Break his slashing motion, and Innocent will be unable to complete that strike because—"

Before the words were finished, Jiangnan had already appeared behind Innocent, the Godslayer Blade in his hand cutting a dazzlingly brilliant cold gleam across the starry sky, dragging out a scarlet blade light!
Innocent's arm was severed clean from the shoulder, spinning and flying through the air!

Only then did Innocent's gaze turn slightly toward his shoulder, his pupils constricting into pinpricks!
His other hand instinctively went to draw the sword, but terrifyingly, a pair of Space Wormholes suddenly opened in front of Jiangnan and beside Innocent's shoulder!
Jiangnan had already slashed his sword into the wormhole, sliding across Innocent's other arm!
In just an instant, both of Innocent's arms were severed!

"Pwah..."

A large mouthful of jelly was spat out by Innocent. No more delays!
Infinite Bose Particles erupted, and at that moment, Jiangnan's large hand was already aimed at Innocent's head!
His black hair flew wildly, and his eyes were full of rage!

Dimensional Reduction Strike!
Dimension Descent!
"Boom!"

Both techniques were released simultaneously! The surrounding thousands of kilometers were directly engulfed by a bizarre and dazzling four-dimensional world!
The next second, a two-dimensional plane burst out from the range of Dimension Descent like a sky-defying force!
Expanding madly, more terrifying than any charging method!
Within the range of Dimension Descent, there was pure, extreme energy, all of which was nourishment for the two-dimensional plane!
This was the result of the clash between Dimension Descent and Dimensional Reduction Strike!

Dimensional Reduction Strike couldn't erase Dimension Descent by one dimension and turn it into three-dimensional, because four dimensions are not simply a matter of length, width, and height!
Similarly, Dimension Descent was completely unable to do anything to the two-dimensional plane; the massive amount of energy instead became a source of expansion!

With a mark teleport, Jiangnan returned to Zhong Yingxue's side, rested the Godslayer Blade on his shoulder, lifted his head, and looked coldly into the battlefield with a sharp gaze!

Night Emperor's eyes widened. He... he just went up and cut?
"(º┏།口།┓º*)
Without even needing my reminder? Jiangnan directly went to break Innocent's Instant Slash motion, and immediately severed both his arms?

Under the void fluctuation, Innocent's figure reappeared, a sword held in his mouth—clearly, the two slashes just now had been completed by holding the sword in his teeth!
However, his complexion was still somewhat pale. His arms grew back, and he grabbed his Holy Judgment Blade, his expression as gloomy as water!

Jiangnan half-opened his eyes and said indifferently, "Hey, hey, hey—the ace of the Bose Clan, the strongest Bose body below the Star Devourer level, is this the extent of your strength? Are you being a bit too careless?"
"Who do you think you're up against?"

As he spoke, Jiangnan's expression turned cold, and his eyes gradually became bloodshot!
"How many lives do you have to die?"

Zhong Xu said angrily, (งᵒ̌益ᵒ̌)ง⁼³₌₃ "Don't you dare slander my Brother Innocent!"
"He just didn't react in time, and he lost one horn during the fight with the Silicon-based and used a forbidden technique, so he's a bit weak! Otherwise, he'd take you down in seconds!"

But Jiangnan turned his head to look at Zhong Xu, the Godslade Blade pointing directly at her brow!
Boundless Baleful Flame burst out, the firelight staining the starry sky blood-red, and his killing intent crashed down like a raging tidal wave!
Zhong Xu's face turned pale, and her body froze in place!
(☍﹏⁰。) Whimper...

Jiangnan said coldly, "Shut up! Otherwise, I'll slash you next!"
"This is a battlefield. In a life-and-death struggle, no one argues with you!"

Night Emperor's pretty face flushed with excitement, and she waved her fists excitedly!
Ahhh! The Southern God is so direct! So tough!

Innocent took a deep breath, calming his restless emotions.
"Zhong Xu, no need to say more. He's right. On the battlefield, no one argues with you. I was careless!"
"You know, there's only one kind of duel worth people's attention—and that's life-and-death combat!"
"No matter what happens with the Cosmic Seed, this duel is within my plan. So let's have a fight worth remembering in this starry sky!"
"You are worthy enough to be called my opponent! Today, only one of us will walk out of the Creation Great Ruins standing—and that person will be me!"

Jiangnan said coldly, "I doubt it. You're so weak that I can barely muster any interest."

Du Lingyu was sweating profusely. What kind of arrogant speech is this?
As the righteous side, is it really okay to talk like this?
The Southern God's arrogance, the King of the Starry Sky!

Hearing this, Innocent actually smiled!
"I'll force you to use the Black Hole Devouring Star!"
"Zhong Xu, take your people and kill the others. I'll hold Jiangnan!"
"After all, we can't let others disturb the fight between us, can we?"

As he spoke, a faint blue light flashed on his body, and he directly activated the Fourth-Dimensional Body!
Transforming into a bizarre, colorful figure, he stood in front of Jiangnan, and the surrounding Bose Particles surged toward him wildly!

The other Bose bodies were stunned. He just started using the Fourth-Dimensional Body right away?
It was the first time they had seen Innocent this serious!

At the beginning, Innocent had indeed underestimated Jiangnan, thinking he was still at his previous strength.
But the two slashes just now taught Innocent a lesson. In just one Cosmic Grand Hunt, Jiangnan's strength had increased so much!
Instead of feeling annoyed, Innocent felt unusually excited!
He even temporarily put aside the matter of the Cosmic Seed!
Now he just wanted to have a good fight with Jiangnan, to cut down this Jiangnan who had been arrogant ever since his debut in the starry sky!
To completely crush that so-called dignity of his!

"What's wrong? Too afraid to accept the challenge? Come on! I'll give you what you want!"

Jiangnan turned around and looked at Xiao Chuihuo, whispering something unknown.
Xiao Chuihuo was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily, making an O98K gesture at Jiangnan!
"It's rare to encounter an opponent in life. Have fun!"

Jiangnan grinned and nodded.
Then he actually untied the Jin Kela sack that had been hanging on his body and stuffed it into Zhong Yingxue's arms!
With just one person and one sword, he walked toward Innocent's direction!

Zhong Yingxue looked worried. Little Nan wasn't even bringing his luck weapon? Was he going to fight hard?
"Little Nan, you..."

Jiangnan turned back with a brilliant smile: "Don't worry! Have I ever lost? Wait until I cut off his horn and roll it into beads to give you guys to play with!"

Zhong Yingxue was taken aback by Jiangnan's bright smile, then she smiled gently and nodded heavily.
"Mm-hmm~"

As soon as he turned back, Jiangnan's expression turned wild, with flames seeming to burn in his eyes!
The strongest ace of the Bose Clan below the Star Devourer level?
The leader of the younger generation of the Starry Sky Overlord?
The face?
Then today, right here, I will completely crush him!
Tear off the last piece of fig leaf of the Bose Clan, throw it on the ground, and trample it to pieces!
Let the Ten Thousand Races Sequence of the starry sky see how shallow and ignorant the Bose Clan's understanding is!
What potential humanity, once deemed a slave race and repeatedly exploited, truly possesses!

Jiangnan wanted to prove it to the Ten Thousand Races, to his human compatriots, to the ancestors who died in the God-Slaying War, and also to himself!
Humans are not inferior to any life form!
Even if what stands before them is the insurmountable mountain of the Starry Sky Overlord, it's the same!
No tricks, no shortcuts, no need for others to assist—by his own strength, defeat Innocent!
This was what Jiangnan wanted to do at this moment!
Simple and pure!

Innocent laughed wildly: "What? Are you finally serious? Can your people without you really withstand the siege of the Lawkeeper Troops?"

Jiangnan said indifferently: "Isn't that what you want? We're not as weak as you imagine. Humanity, without me, still shines with stars!"
"As for you, you should be glad I gave you a chance for a one-on-one duel! Otherwise, I have many ways to kill you, and you would have no way to resist!"
"But that wouldn't be intuitive enough; people would think I, Jiangnan, used tricks, insufficient to showcase humanity's potential, and also insufficient to shatter the dignity of the Bose Clan!"

For example, Mila, or Qing Ke—with cooperation, it would be possible to kill Innocent without much effort!
In Jiangnan's eyes, Innocent was indeed a threat, but far from being a fatal one!
He wasn't even qualified!

Innocent narrowed his eyes: "Is that so? I wonder, when you die under my blade, whether you'll regret this decision!"

Jiangnan chuckled lightly: "I'm more curious how many slashes it will take to kill you. Be careful not to let your will collapse. This life-and-death struggle was your idea!"
"At least let me have my fill!"

Both of their expressions turned cold at the same time. No one spoke, only staring at each other!
Innocent frantically accumulated Bose Particles, continuously charging!
Jiangnan activated Blood Incineration to the max, gripped the Godslayer Blade tightly, pushed the Baleful Spirit Technique to its limit, and his killing power blazed like a blazing sun, impossible to look at directly!
Then he began to pour in, pulling it straight to one hundred percent, leaving no room!

A peak showdown between the strongest in the Creation Great Ruins was about to begin!
Meanwhile, Zhang San and Li Si, the two brothers, were still riding a butterfly on their way...
