Chapter 573 Strongest vs. Strongest
Just as the Awakener charged towards Yunlan with his sword, he was blasted away by a golden light. The Awakener spun around in space until he crashed into the wreckage of several warships before finally coming to a stop.
Everyone looked towards the golden sphere of light, only to see the gold gradually fade, and Li Chenglong, now in his armored form, stood there slowly. Yun Lan, who was closest, couldn't help but shout through the communicator, "Li Chenglong, is that you?"
Li Chenglong, now in his armored form, slowly turned his head, looked at Yun Lan who was staring at him, and nodded slightly. Then his voice appeared directly in everyone's minds: "You all retreat. Only when you successfully retreat can I fight without restraint. You have already done enough for me. Now it is my turn to fight."
Everyone nodded in unison and then quickly retreated. The warships that were fighting the special forces also received orders from their commanders to seek an opportunity to break away from the enemy and retreat.
A short while later, Yunlan, Zhao Liying, Sun Menghua, and the others returned to the Flying Dragon. At this point, the entire Earth-United Interstellar Fleet was reduced to only four large warships and seven medium warships. The other warships had been destroyed in special operations, resulting in heavy losses. Even the remaining warships had suffered varying degrees of damage.
As soon as Yunlan entered the cockpit, she said, "Immediately turn around and retreat, providing mutual cover with other warships. Once you reach a safe place, stop there and keep a close eye on the situation in the central battlefield while you retreat."
The Apocalypse watched the retreating fleets from three universes without moving, and shook his head slightly: "Let them retreat. What's the point of fighting you? Only he can ignite my fighting spirit!"
After speaking, he looked at Li Chenglong, who was staring at him, and then extended his right hand. All the special forces that were chasing the warship group stopped and returned to their original positions.
Having completed this task, the Awakener unleashed a surge of powerful battle aura: "End Armor, Combine!" Instantly, the battle aura emanating from him enveloped him, and after a while, a suit of armor interwoven with white and gold covered his entire body. His aura had increased by at least twice as much as before.
Li Chenglong dared not be careless and immediately said, "Holy Dragon Armor, Amazing All-Round Disintegration Upgrade! Ultimate Combat Type!" As he gave the command, the armor that had been encasing him instantly disintegrated, and then two giant dragons, one golden and one black, flew out from his body, circling him several times before rushing back into his body. The ultimate combat type Holy Dragon Armor, with its main body being dark gold and its accents gold, was complete!
The Ultimate Battle Type Holy Dragon Armor is almost entirely black, with only gold and crimson dragon patterns on the limbs, chest, and back. The edges of the armor also feature gold stripes. Overall, it appears significantly heavier than the Amazing All-Round type. Most surprisingly, the Holy Dragon Armor's belt is a striking feature.
Three dragon heads are arranged side by side at the front of the belt, each holding a bright dragon pearl in its mouth—the three gems fused with Li Chenglong. The head of the armor is also very ornate, mostly in dark gold, with a majestic five-clawed golden dragon pattern on the top, flanked by a golden dragon horn.
Without a word, the battle erupted. One wielded a sword, the other a saber, and they engaged in fierce close combat. This battle between level 15 was unprecedented in history. Although neither used any special techniques, the entire space trembled with every swing of their weapons or the clash of their swords.
"Great Prison Flame Slash!" The Enlightened One launched the first attack, several blood-red blade lights rushing straight towards Li Chenglong. Li Chenglong maintained his charging posture, flying while using his sword to unleash several moves: "Dimensional Combo Slash!" Several golden sword energies flew out, completely neutralizing the blade lights.
The two fought for only five minutes, and this space region was already riddled with holes. Numerous terrifying spatial rifts, large and small, appeared within the once-normal space, from which large amounts of black and red substances poured in. The fleet, which had already moved to a safe zone, was forced to retreat a considerable distance due to the waves of energy emanating from it.
When masters clash, there are often no fancy techniques or moves, but the simplest punch or sword strike often contains endless killing intent.
Because the Apocalypse had closed those passages, everyone who was watching the live broadcast could no longer see what was happening on the battlefield. Even the fleet that had withdrawn from the area could only see a little bit of the situation through some high-powered optical telescopes due to the interference of the powerful energy and the influence of the collapsing space.
"Samsung Dragon Force Cannon!" Li Chenglong slashed out with his sword, and then the dragon head on his chest opened and suddenly spewed out a golden energy beam that shot towards the Awakener. The Awakener swung his sword to block, but Li Chenglong had already appeared behind him: "Dimensional Slash!" The sword pierced through the shoulder armor of the Awakener's outer armor. If he hadn't reacted quickly, this blow would have severed his shoulder.
After thirty minutes of fierce fighting, Li Chenglong was still in an unstoppable momentum, while the repair speed of the Apocalypse Armor on the other side had obviously slowed down, clearly because its energy was running low.
Li Chenglong pointed his sword at the Apocalypse: "After reaching level 15, I learned a lot of things and realized that you are not an evil being, but only stood on the opposite side of us for various reasons. You can't beat me now. If you promise not to attack our homeland again, I can let you go, and we might even be friends."
The Awakener paused for a moment, then burst into laughter: "This is nothing! Are you already so sure you'll win? You can draw upon the power of everyone in these universes, but I can't?"
After speaking, the Awakener raised his blood-red longsword high: "All my servants, heed my call and give me your power!" As soon as he finished speaking, the special forces that had been waiting around the universe began to automatically disintegrate. Not only that, but at the same time as they disintegrated, a beam of energy flew toward where the Awakener was.
Instantly, the space where the two were located was like a red rainstorm, with billions of energy streams, some thick and some thin, surging towards the Enlightened One. The Enlightened One, who was just covered in wounds, had now fully recovered, and his aura was still rising.
Fan Xiaoxuan, who was monitoring the special situation with various instruments, was the first to notice this. She immediately reported, "Reporting to Team Leader Yun, we just discovered that those special forces have all disappeared, but at the same time they disappeared, they fed back their energy to the center of the battlefield. Something must have happened there."
Zhao Liying, who was also operating the main control computer of the Flying Dragon, said, "According to Ada's calculations, one of the two energy points that are fighting in the central battlefield has just been significantly enhanced. It is speculated that the Apocalypse used a similar method to us, concentrating all the special energy on himself."
Just as the fleet members were engaged in heated discussion, Li Chenglong looked at the Apocalypse Warrior, whose aura had increased by at least tenfold compared to before, and revealed a faint smile: "Is this your trump card? Very well, let's neither of us hold back and fight with all our might!"
Li Chenglong sheathed his sword and clenched his fists: "Yaaaaaah! Holy Dragon Blood, maximum power! Three G-gems, unleash your full energy!"
The panel in front of Zhao Liying suddenly exploded, and she exclaimed, "The energy of one energy point has also suddenly increased explosively, and the values of the two energies are completely unpredictable." Sun Menghua also said from the side, "Report to Team Leader Yun, Commander-in-Chief Pistos has sent an order for all our warships to immediately retreat at maximum speed, retreat as far as possible, the entire space region here is about to collapse!"
Yunlan looked at the main screen of the Flying Dragon, and then glanced at the battlefield in the center of the galaxy through the observation window. She said with difficulty, "Notify all warships of the Chinese fleet to retreat immediately."
