This Earth Is A Bit Fearsome

Lu Xuan’s sword attacks became increasingly ferocious.

The moves he brought were called ‘Three Folds of Heaven’.

Every slash was about 30 percent more powerful than the last one.

The ‘Three Folds of Heaven’ technique was best used against defenses that relied on the sheer resilience of the barrier involved.

With the attacks stacked together, Pope Innocent was clad in armor powered by the power of faith. With the attack stacked together, however, he still ended up killed with a single slash.

That slash came so quickly that even the two-winged angel, who had been on the sidelines watching the two fight, did not manage to react in time.

It looked like Pope Innocent would be able to at least fight Lu Xuan to a standstill instead of being at a disadvantage after all.

Nobody had expected Lu Xuan to swiftly cut Pope Innocent down in just the blink of an eye.

“How… how dare you!”

That two-winged angel angrily roared, making it look as if the entire Vatican was going to boil in his anguish.

The two-winged angel then burst with holy light all over him. It took only a split second of attacks from the holy light that he had generated to rain down from above. The rain of attacks then converged into a terrifying torrent before transforming into a terrifying blast of sword aura, as it headed straight for Lu Xuan.

Boom!

At that moment, everyone witnessed the holy light fluctuating in the air.

Boom!

Everyone saw Lu Xuan being drowned out by that holy light attack.

However, all that holy light was quickly crushed. Lu Xuan threw a punch that was transformed into a golden dragon, which soared in the air and crushed everything in its path.

This was what Lu Xuan was truly capable of. Despite how unbelievably formidable that holy light attack from the two-winged angel was, it did nothing to faze him.

That beam of sword aura conjured by the holy light was unable to even hurt Lu Xuan. It did not even manage to penetrate his Shield of Vigor, either.

It took only one move from each of the combatants to have the jaws of the spectators dropping to the ground.

It was apparent that what just happened took things to new heights yet again; the battle between the pope and Lu Xuan, which had already been as frightening as it could have gotten.

While there was no doubt that both beings were of the Divine Treasure Realm level of powers, both Lu Xuan and the two-winged angel were clearly far more powerful than Pope Innocent.

The attack from the two-winged angel could have cut down three to five Airborne Realm beings in a single blow with ease.

That punch from Lu Xuan was more than enough to shake the world with just the force it brought alone.

Both beings looked like they were throwing those moves casually and without thinking too much about it. This left many people wondering just how frightening things would be when the two began fighting in earnest.

“Hahahaha, seems like I get to finally fight someone worth my time. If that guy was the best that the Roman Curia could bring to the table, it would be laughable to even think that you guys would actually want to rule the world!”

Lu Xuan continued to laugh. His current level was so overwhelming that he could run over practically anyone. Pope Innocent never stood a chance against him, to begin with.

However, things were different regarding the two-winged angel’s power. As someone whose powers were suppressed from a higher level, this made him far more powerful than the pope, whose powers had yet to recover sufficiently.

The angel’s combat prowess was far above that of the pope as well, which made it the best candidate to fight Lu Xuan.

“All who dare commit blasphemy towards the glory of our Lord shall die, mortal!”

The two-winged angel’s eyes were cold and unfeeling as it glared at Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan howled right there and then, cleaving through the air. Clenching his fist, he conjured boundless force of the fist around his hand and allowed it to turn into a golden dragon.

The golden dragon was sent flying in the two-winged angel’s direction right away.

The golden dragon’s power was even stronger than what it had been in the previous attack, causing the sky to rumble as it moved.

The two-winged angel’s expression became dire as it saw how the golden dragon moved, and no longer behaved as if it owned the place like before.

The angel instantly drew a sword from its waist that was as tall as a grown man.

Clang!

A huge clang was heard as the terrifying will of its sword burst.

It became apparent that the two-winged angel was very proficient in swordplay as well.

It was painstakingly nurtured back in heaven, but now it finally got serious in the fight.

That massive and heavy sword was swung about by that angel as if it weighed nothing.

It was able to turn that casual swing into something like a field or a barrier around it, repelling that golden dragon from Lu Xuan through sheer brute force.

Boom!

The clash between those two beings was severe enough to affect their surroundings and looked utterly frightening. All the top-notch fighters around them gasped, as the power demonstrated by the two was far beyond what everyone imagined.

None of them would have been able to withstand all those attacks being thrown about at all.

“A force field, huh? This is gonna be interesting.”

Lu Xuan continued to laugh, not even bothering to evade. He leaped right away as he faced that terrifying field conjured by sword aura. He conjured a golden dragon with the Spiritual Qi generated around him.

He charged at the angel as if he was a golden dragon himself.

That golden dragon was frightening. Despite not being exceptionally huge —being only over a dozen meters in length— it nonetheless felt like the advent of a godly monarch.

Boom!

The golden dragon immediately crashed into the field and completely shattered it, reducing it to specks of light that flew in all directions.

That formidable, massive burst of qi compelled all of the Airborne Realm cultivators around them to retreat as quickly as they could.

Someone then shouted, “That two-winged angel is really balking now!” Everyone saw an imprint on that two-winged angel’s chest that was in the shape of a fist.

That punch from Lu Xuan landed squarely on the armor in front of the angel’s chest.

Unlike the pope who had been so fragile that he was unable to take even a single hit and was utterly unable to fight Lu Xuan, the angel was still able to hold its own.

Roar!

That angel was completely angered by then, continuously bursting with terrifying holy light all over him.

Everyone suddenly realized that the ground of the Vatican itself began to shake slightly.

“What’s happening? An earthquake?”

The people of the entire Vatican were able to feel the ground slightly shaking, feeling as if the soil and dust were rising.

The aura around the angel continued to rise and expand from its being.

Someone then shouted, “No need to panic. It’s not an earthquake. It’s just someone drawing the power of faith from the entire city!”

It was only then that everyone realized that it was not an earthquake; it was just a phenomenon resulting from the power of faith from the entire city.

That was what caused the entire city to shake.

The one who was drawing power of faith from the entire city was none other than the two-winged angel.

The unlimited power of faith gushed into the two-winged angel’s body in the form of holy light.

At that moment, all the beams of holy light then coalesced into an angel consisting of pure energy.

That angel of pure energy was able to cause the entire Vatican City to shake tremendously just moving slightly.

The form of that angel became increasingly clear, slowly becoming more similar to the two-winged angel until they were eventually identical to one another.

“Perish, mortal!” The two-winged angel shouted furiously. The angel that was conjured by pure energy above its head began charging at Lu Xuan and loomed over him like a mountain.

The people throughout the entire Vatican City felt as if a mountain was coming down on them all.

It felt as if the sky was collapsing upon them, soon to crush them alive.

That feeling made everyone feel as if it became harder to breathe.
