#434 - Chapter 168: The Death of the Night King (Part 3)

Liu Yuan's lips curled into a slight smile. He knew that the Night King was at the end of his rope.

In a flash, Liu Yuan quickened his pace, rushing towards the Night King like a gust of wind. At the same time, he fully gathered his strength, preparing to unleash the final, fatal blow.

Seeing the situation was dire, the Night King did his best to wield his remaining power to attack, but he was extremely weak at this point. An ice-flame sword light, even more powerful than before, slashed out, looking as if it was about to hit Liu Yuan. At that crucial moment, Liu Yuan focused his mind and quickly threw the Mo Dao. The Mo Dao spun rapidly in the air, the attached Gang energy condensing into a solid barrier, forcibly shattering the Night King's attack.

Liu Yuan's figure flashed, leaping into the air like a flying bird. His right hand reached out and firmly grasped the Mo Dao's hilt. The Mo Dao's blade shimmered with dazzling light, like a blazing sun, illuminating the entire battlefield. He gripped the hilt with both hands, using all his strength to swing it forward. A fierce blade of light cut through the void, carrying unparalleled momentum, and fiercely chopped towards the Night King.

The Night King had no time to dodge and could only take the blow head-on. He crossed his arms, trying to block Liu Yuan's attack, but the power of the Mo Dao far exceeded his expectations. With a crisp "crack," the ice armor on the Night King's body shattered instantly, turning into countless pieces of ice scattered all over the ground. His body was also sent flying dozens of meters away by the enormous force, crashing heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Liu Yuan strode forward, walking up to the Night King and looking down at him. The Night King looked very disheveled at this moment. His armor and ice shell had shattered, revealing the pale skin underneath. His body was injured in many places, and blood kept gushing out of the wounds, intertwined with the icy aura on his body, making a "sizzling" sound, accompanied by rising steam. These were all the results of the Gang energy on the Mo Dao and the Night King's internal ice magic power canceling each other out.

Liu Yuan raised the Mo Dao in his hand, preparing to deliver the final blow to the Night King. However, at that moment, the Night King, who had been lying motionless on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes, a sly glint flashing within. In the blink of an eye, his right hand quickly picked up the 'Light Bringer' and swung it upwards, the sword's momentum as swift as lightning, aiming straight for Liu Yuan's left leg.

Liu Yuan reacted extremely quickly, kicking out and hitting the Night King's sword-wielding wrist. With a 'clang,' the sword's tip grazed his skirt armor, scraping out a spark.

Liu Yuan didn't give him another chance, and with a backhand stroke, the blade flashed, and the Night King's right hand was severed at the elbow, sending it and the 'Light Bringer' flying far away.

The Night King let out a painful wail, but Liu Yuan remained unmoved. He raised his foot and stepped on the Night King, holding the Mo Dao high above his head, looking at him coldly.

"After tangling with you for so long, it's time to end this," Liu Yuan said softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Mo Dao struck down heavily. The Night King felt the fatal threat and struggled desperately, but he was firmly pinned down by Liu Yuan, and it was too late.

The Mo Dao fell like lightning, striking the Night King's neck fiercely. With a crisp "crack," the Night King's huge head fell to the ground.

Contrary to what Liu Yuan had expected, the Night King's corpse suddenly changed. The two sections of the corpse slowly floated up, as if being pulled by an invisible force. His skin began to turn transparent, and the meridians and bones inside his body were clearly visible. The transparency of the skin became higher and higher, and finally, like very pure glass, it suddenly shattered into a sky full of powder.

These powders did not dissipate, but rotated in the air, dancing as if they had life. They formed a vortex, constantly contracting inward, and the pressure in the center gradually increased. As time went on, this vortex became smaller and smaller, until finally only a ball of rich, deep blue energy remained. This ball of energy, like a peach-sized sapphire, was embedded on the ice crown, emitting a palpitating aura.

Liu Yuan frowned, this energy was extremely unstable, and seemed likely to erupt at any time. He felt like he had seen this thing somewhere, but he couldn't determine exactly what it was. He said hesitantly: "Is this thing a Divine Spark? It's so big!" Although he wasn't sure, he already had the answer in his heart. This thing was essentially the same as the Divine Spark fragments of the Lord of Mysteries and the Old Gods, except that this ball of energy was more like an unsolidified jelly, not yet condensed into a crystal.

Suddenly, the ice crown burst out with dazzling light and flew straight towards the southeast.

"Want to escape! No way, stay here!" Liu Yuan quickly darted forward, reaching out and tightly grasping the ice crown, and pulled it back. He was joking, this was a Divine Spark! How could he let it run away?

The ice crown struggled violently as if it had life, constantly trying to fly away, but Liu Yuan held it tightly. The crown emitted a blue light, and the bone-chilling ice energy invaded along Liu Yuan's arm. Liu Yuan no longer held back, he used the majestic true essence power in his body to fight with all his strength, the two energies canceled each other out, and steam rose as if boiling water.

Liu Yuan endured the pain in his arm and refused to let go. He didn't believe that he, backed by a small world, would run out of energy against a half-dead deity.

However, the stalemate didn't last long. The Divine Spark seemed to realize that it couldn't compete with Liu Yuan, and no longer tried to break free. It actively detached from the ice crown it was attached to and flew towards the sky.

As his hand loosened, Liu Yuan immediately noticed that something was wrong. He didn't hesitate to use the Art of Aerial Flight, his figure chasing like an arrow. Tightly gripping the Mo Dao in his right hand, he quickly slashed three times at the ball of light. Due to the urgency of time, he could only slash these limited three times, but each slash contained immense power. Three pieces were torn from the ball of light, falling towards the ground like meteors.

After chasing in the air for a while, the ball of light flew away at an astonishing speed, disappearing into the sky in the blink of an eye. Liu Yuan looked at the departing Divine Spark, his heart filled with regret. But he was not discouraged, but turned to look at the ice crown in his hand. Although he had lost the Divine Spark, he still had this precious treasure. He nodded with satisfaction and put the crown into his space.

Afterward, Liu Yuan turned to chase after the three falling fragments. These fragments drew a beautiful arc in the air, eventually falling into an open meadow. Liu Yuan easily chased to the ground and successfully retrieved the fragments. Carefully observing the three Divine Spark fragments in front of him, they had condensed into crystal clear crystals, emitting a mysterious and alluring light.

Unfortunately, these Divine Spark fragments contained the original divine power of an ancient alien god, and Liu Yuan could not refine the power within them before the original owner had completely died.

He looked up at the direction the Divine Spark had escaped, and secretly decided that after the matter here was over, he must go and pursue it, giving those ancient gods a decent ending.
