Just as Hei Zi shut his eyes and activated the Black Sun Technique, Fang Xingjian also made his move.
His actions were quick as lightning, and streams of sword marks moved out from his body. They seemed as if they were tearing through space as they extended out toward Hei Zi.
However, the sword marks had just come into contact with Hei Zi when the latter’s figure dissipated completely without a trace.

It’s useless. Under the Dark Shadow Dominion…

At the next moment, a hint of astonishment flashed on the face of Hei Zi who was standing in the sky. Countless black sword marks slashed his body, rendering it into dust.
Fang Xingjian stepped out slowly from behind him.
What did you say?

In the darkness, Hei Zi’s body regenerated once again. However, his countenance was paler than it had been before.
‘In the Dark Shadow Dominion, he shouldn’t be able to receive any waves or light…’
However, Fang Xingjian did not appear to be experiencing any abnormalities. This could only go to show that Fang Xingjian’s grasp over the microscopic world was not below Hei Ze’s.
With a cold snort, Hei Zi opened his eyes, and the world returned to its original appearance. Since the Dark Shadow Dominion was ineffective, he would not continue performing it.

Fang Xingjian, you aren’t bad. Probably even Saint Adam might not have been able to reach the same level of understanding of the world as you when he was your age.

As Hei Zi spoke, he continued to step forth. With each step he took, streams of black flames started burning up from his body.
His eyes were filled with killing intent, and black flames shot out from his eyes. Simultaneously, he put out his palms and formed a unique hand seal.
With the forming of this hand seal, all the black flames throughout his body were suddenly attracted to it.
Concurrently, the world seemed to be going through tremors. All of the darkness seemed like it had been gathered onto Hei Zi’s hand seal.
Accompanied by the coagulation of the darkness, the entire palace and even the city seemed to have suddenly become bright as day. There were no longer any visible traces of darkness, and even the shadows under his feet had disappeared. It was as if everything and every creature within the range of 100 lis was emitting light.
Using absolute darkness to create absolute light, this was the Eternal Night Great Palm Imprint that Hei Zi had activated using the powers that were at the pinnacle of tier five of the Divine level.
Rumble! 
The great palm imprint that had turned pure black slapped out toward Fang Xingjian. The explosive strength seemed to want to return everything in the world to darkness.
Hei Zi’s series of means to control light and darkness, thereby changing the world with a single thought, demonstrated his remarkable capabilities. It also gave off a mysterious feeling that was beyond one’s imagination.
Moreover, the Eternal Night Great Palm Imprint that erupted in the end was extremely vicious. Wherever the pure black palm imprint passed by, the atmosphere would be turned into vacuum and the space would be distorted into darkness. This was a technique that had reached the pinnacle below that of tier five of the Divine level.
As the palm came slapping down, it was with a force that could instantly tear apart the land, shatter several tens of mountain peaks, and turn the entire city into a huge and bottomless crater.
Looking at the darkness in the sky that descending like splashing ink, Duan Tianhao laughed out loud and his eyes filled with excitement.
Confronted with Hei Zi’s attack that was at the pinnacle of what one could reach at tier five of the Divine level, Fang Xingjian’s expression remained calm and emotionless. He merely tapped out a single finger.
A stream of black sword mark that was like black lightning extended out from his fingertips, tearing through everything in its path and clashing out fiercely toward the Eternal Night Great Palm Imprint.
In comparison to Hei Zi’s Eternal Night Great Palm Imprint, Fang Xingjian’s sword mark was the accumulation of the products from the four types of sword intents that were the pinnacle sword arts—Light Pursuit, Infiltrating Void, Instant, and All-Conquering. Despite not performing Spatial Translocation and Void Space Sword Mark, it was still a sword technique which would not lose out to the Eternal Night Great Palm Imprint.
As the two gushes of power clashed fiercely together, the entire sky seemed shatter instantly. The space was distorted into countless pieces of fragments, and black spatial gaps instantly filled up the sky above the entire city.
The repercussive waves landed on the ground, immediately tearing up the land and shaking up rocks and boulders. Over ten huge cracks extended out from the city, creating a valley. This occurred amidst the cries of countless people as they their houses were shattered.
An aura that was as if the world would be annihilated and would be coming to its end came gushing forth. Everyone who saw the sight of the sky and the land being torn apart concurrently could not help but drop to their knees, worshipping the world-astonishing powers.
Both Hei Zi’s Eternal Night Great Palm Imprint and Fang Xingjian’s sword mark were at the pinnacle of tier five of the Divine level in terms of their technique.
However, despite the similarity of their realms, there was still a difference in their strength.
Hei Zi’s strength had been depleted in exchange for 1,000 years of lifespan. So, right now, it had reached an all-time low. However, Fang Xingjian had the reinforcements from countless heavenly and earthly treasures, as well as mysterious martial techniques. Furthermore, after having incessantly absorbed the Sun’s energy and cultivated the Thunder-Inducing Technique, his martial will had also reached 8,500 points.
At this moment, with each of their clones performing an attack at full-power, it was clear who was the better of the two.
With an explosive rumble 
and under Hei Zi’s disbelieving gaze, Fang Xingjian’s finger pressed down, and the sword mark instantly tore the Eternal Night Great Palm Imprint apart, making its way right up to Hei Zi with great ease.

Too weak.
Fang Xingjian looked at Hei Zi coldly. Then, like he was crushing an ant with one hand, Fang Xingjian’s finger came pressing down explosively again.

Ahhh!
Streams of back Qis were instantly torn apart, and Hei Zi seemed to turn into a tattered cloth bag, plunging down toward the surface.
With an enraged bellow, black martial will transmitted out like enraged tidal waves in all directions. Hei Zi formed hand imprints with both of his hands as his entire body burned up in black flames.

Infinite light, unending darkness, bottomless lifespan!

Fang Xingjian, take this attack! Longevity Night Emperor Fist!

With a rumble 
, Hei Zi, whose entire body was burning in flames, sent out all of the powers in this clone explosively. Black flames continued to burn, and there seemed to be the shrill cries from many wrathful spirits, giving off the feeling of endless viciousness and evil.
If the previous Hei Zi could be said to a great man who felt great compassion and loved all lives in the world, then with his full powers erupted at this moment, he had instantly turned into a great devil.
Accompanied by the series of burning flames, over 2,000 people in the entire palace also let out an agonizing cries together with him as their bodies started to burn in black flames.
These people’s appearances seemed to be aging at a rapid rate as they burned in the black flames.
At this moment, Hei Zi had not just erupted his martial will. He had even plundered and burned the lifespans of others to use for his attack.
However, such a secret art of extracting the lifespans of others was clearly one that could not be sustained for a prolonged period of time. Instead, it could only be used for a one-time explosion. As Hei Zi extracted the lifespans of others, his clone also started disintegrating at a rapid rate.
However, the prowess of the Longevity Night Emperor Fist was indeed massive. As his lifespan diminished, a stream of massive and mysterious power that was hard to describe gathered onto Hei Zi’s palm imprint. Then Hei Zi let out an explosive bellow, and the power went gushing out, pressing toward Fang Xingjian’s finger.
Seeing this attack, even Fang Xingjian was a little surprised. However, how could he possibly be afraid of the other party in a competition of strength?
At the next moment, streams of black sword marks soared into the sky, as if wanting to encase the entire world in a net of swords.
The myriad black sword marks had already extended out from his body, torn space-time apart, and launched an assault toward Hei Zi.
Wherever the sword marks passed by, all living things were destroyed and the world was being wiped out. All physical matter in the world seemed to be unable to survive as they faced this gush of power.
The full-power of the Sword Realm was unleashed explosively, and it engulfed Hei Zi instantly—body and fist included.
Streams of sword marks wrapped up Hei Zi’s clone like bandages. Right now, Hei Zi’s face was full of astonishment and disbelief.
‘Is this the power that a tier five Divine level expert can possess?
‘How? How is it that his martial will can be this powerful even though his realm is only at tier five of the Divine level?’
At the next moment, as Fang Xingjian’s finger came pressing down once again, Hei Zi’s body disintegrated completely and scattered off explosively, turning into countless black air currents that drifted off in midair.
With a cold snort, Fang Xingjian turned his gaze toward the stunned Duan Tianhao.
There seemed to be a deafening rumble 
in void space.
Amidst his agonizing cries, the lower half of Duan Tianhao’s body was completely crushed into a series of light spots. However, his upper body was still concealed in void space together with a series of black Qis.
From the horizon, Hei Zi’s vicious and evil voice rang out,
Fang Xingjian, we’ll give you the plains.

But the next time we meet, I’ll definitely kill you.
