Conferred Gods: Master Tongtian is my master

Chapter 355 Self-destruction

His eyes were like torches, staring at the coffin lantern that was approaching, and he said in a deep voice:

“Randeng, do you think you can defeat me with this coffin palace lantern? You underestimate me!”

After saying that, Zhao Gongming swung his iron whip, and the iron whip seemed to turn into a black dragon, which, with a whistling sound, rushed towards the oncoming coffin palace lantern.

When the two collided, there was a loud earth-shaking noise, and the whole valley seemed to tremble.

The flame and heat released by the coffin palace lantern, and the strong wind and power brought about by the swing of Zhao Gongming's iron whip, intertwined and collided with each other, forming a shocking picture.

The battle between the two seemed to tear the entire world apart.

Upon seeing this, Taoist Master Ran Deng's eyes widened and his angry roar shook the sky like thunder. He formed seals with his hands and increased his control over the coffin lantern floating in the air.

The palace lantern seemed to sense its owner's anger, and the flame within it instantly became more violent, raging like a mad dragon, releasing unprecedented heat and pressure, illuminating the entire space in a crimson red, with heat waves rolling as if even the air was about to be ignited.

Seeing this, Zhao Gongming curled up a sneer at the corner of his mouth. He was not willing to be outdone. He clenched the iron whip with both hands, his muscles tensed, and every muscle contained infinite power.

He swung the iron whip violently. The whip shadow was like a dragon, with a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air, as if it was going to split the world in two.

Wherever the iron whip passed, the space seemed to be cut apart, leaving behind black cracks, demonstrating its terrifying power.

However, although the iron whip was strong, it was not comparable to the spiritual treasure. After several fierce collisions with the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the coffin palace lantern, finally, with a crisp sound of "crack", the iron whip could not bear the weight and broke into several pieces, with fragments flying everywhere, reflecting Zhao Gongming's stern face.

Zhao Gongming frowned, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. He knew very well that ordinary iron alone could not compete with the spiritual treasure in Randeng's hand.

So, he threw away the broken whip in his hand without hesitation, and waved his sleeves. Twenty-four Dinghai Pearls flew out from his sleeves, surrounding his body, emitting a faint light, as bright as stars, and carrying an indescribable mysterious power.

When Ran Deng saw the twenty-four Dinghai Pearls, his heart could not help but tremble. He could clearly feel the vague connection between the twenty-four beads and himself, as if they were originally a part of him.

However, the reality is cruel. He knows very well that although he has a destiny with the Dinghai Pearl, the gap in strength makes it impossible for him to seize it easily.

What's more, Zhao Gongming's strength is there. Even if he tries his best, he may not be able to defeat him, let alone snatch the treasure from him.

"Randeng, you are looking for death!"

Zhao Gongming shouted angrily, his voice full of murderous intent. He mobilized his spiritual power, formed seals with both hands, and controlled the twenty-four Dinghai Pearls to smash towards Ran Deng like meteors.

Each bead contained terrifying power, as if it was going to completely submerge Ran Deng in this endless attack.

When Randeng saw this, his face became solemn. He knew very well the horror of this attack and did not dare to be careless at all.

He quickly formed seals and mobilized all the spiritual power in his body to form an indestructible shield in an attempt to resist this deadly attack.

However, the twenty-four Dinghai Pearls seemed to have their own will. They flexibly shuttled through the air, avoiding Randeng's shield and heading straight for his vital points.

The battle between the two sides entered a white-hot stage, and every attack contained the power to destroy the world.

Randeng and Zhao Gongming continued to fight in the air, their spiritual powers collided, sparks flew, and the entire space seemed to be torn apart by their battle.

Their figures moved quickly in the air, sometimes engaging in close combat and sometimes attacking from a distance. Every confrontation was terrifying.

Relying on the power of the coffin palace lantern, Randeng continuously released terrifying fire attacks, trying to force Zhao Gongming into a desperate situation.

Zhao Gongming, relying on the twenty-four Dinghai Pearls in his hand, kept looking for Randeng's flaws, attempting to kill him with one blow.

After a long time, the two finally separated briefly after a fierce collision.

I saw Randeng in a Taoist robe, his clothes were disheveled and messy, and there were faint traces of blood on them.

His face was pale and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that he had suffered considerable injuries in the previous battle.

Apart from his unstable breathing, Zhao Gongming's clothes were still neat and tidy, as if the previous battle did not have much impact on him.

There was a cold light flashing in his eyes as he stared at Randeng, as if ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.

“Ran Deng, you do have some tricks!” Zhao Gongming snorted coldly, his voice revealing endless murderous intent, “However, these alone are not enough to defeat me!”

“Zhao Gongming, don’t be too confident!” Ran Deng panted and said, with a hint of unwillingness and stubbornness in his voice, “How can I, Ran Deng, give up easily? Today, even if I die, I will take you with me!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ran Deng suddenly put away the coffin lantern and mobilized the spiritual power in his body to the extreme. His body began to swell, as if endless power was surging in his body and was about to burst out.

Zhao Gongming was shocked when he saw this. He never expected that Ran Deng would choose to self-destruct to end the battle.

You know, self-destruction is an extremely tragic way for a cultivator. Not only will it destroy the physical body, but even the soul may not be able to escape.

"Ran Deng, you...you are actually going to self-destruct?" Zhao Gongming exclaimed, with disbelief in his voice.

Ran Deng sneered, his eyes flashing with determination. "Humph, Zhao Gongming, I want to see how you can survive the self-destruction of a cultivator at the initial stage of Quasi-Saint!"

As Randeng finished his words, his body had expanded to the extreme, as if it would explode at any time.

Zhao Gongming's heart trembled. He knew that he had to make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise if Randeng succeeded in self-destructing, he would probably not be spared.

However, at this moment, Randeng's body suddenly stopped expanding, as if a mysterious force was stopping him.

Zhao Gongming was stunned, and then he found that Randeng's face became extremely ugly, as if he was suffering from great pain.

“Hahaha, Randeng, do you think that self-destruction can threaten me?” Zhao Gongming laughed, his voice revealing pride and sarcasm, “I tell you, I, Zhao Gongming, am not so easily defeated!”

Ran Deng gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain in his body. He knew that his current state was very dangerous. If he could not control the spiritual power in his body, he might really explode and die. However, he was unwilling to lose to Zhao Gongming like this.

“Zhao Gongming, don’t be too complacent!” Ran Deng roared, his voice revealing endless anger and unwillingness, “Even if I, Ran Deng, explode today, I will make you pay a heavy price!”

As he spoke, Ran Deng once again urged the spiritual power in his body to try to break the shackles of the mysterious power. Sure enough, with his unremitting efforts, he broke the shackles.

Then, his body instantly turned red, as if wrapped in flames. A terrifying energy accumulated in his body and was about to explode.

Zhao Gongming's face visibly sank when he saw this. He had never expected that Randeng would actually choose to self-destruct his own body, wanting to die with him.

At this moment, he felt an unprecedented threat, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.

However, as the eldest brother of the Jiejiao outer sect, Zhao Gongming was not intimidated. He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then tried his best to resist the pressure from Ran Deng's self-explosion.

"boom--!!!"

With a deafening explosion, Randeng's body was instantly torn into countless pieces and flew around.

The terrifying energy swept in like a violent storm, causing Zhao Gongming to feel a severe shock.
