âIf Skysword is regretting that he agreed to the challenge, we donât have to do this.â God-like was smiling, and he sounded scornful.
âNo need. Letâs begin,â said Han Sen calmly.
âNo wonder youâre Skysword. Youâre definitely confident,â God-like complimented Han Sen, then grabbed the Eternal Shield and rushed forward.
White light flowed across the shield, and it flew toward Han Sen like a comet The light on the shield was getting brighter and brighter, and the physical space in front of the shield seemed like it was starting to twist.
Han Sen looked at God-like and his Eternal Shield, but he remained very calm. His physical strength was already at the pinnacle level in the Fourth Sanctuary, and he wasnât weaker than any of the super creatures or spirits. Though God-like was powerful, not even a berserk super creature was enough to scare Han Sen.
He raised his arm and brought out the Overbearing Shield. It became as tall as a human being and stood in front of Han Sen. Hong!
The Eternal Shield hit the Overbearing Shield, and the powerful shock waves shook the space around them, forming a twisted black hole.
âMom, do you think Han Sen can win?â Lotus Empress felt kind of anxious. Han Sen had only entered the Fourth Sanctuary a few years earlier than her, so she wasnât sure if he could defend against such a power.
Before Night Empress answered, she heard a sound of clashing metal. The Eternal Shield hit the Overbearing Shield with terrifying power, but it couldnât damage the Overbearing Shield. It didnât even force Han Sen to take any steps back. Instead, the Eternal Shield and God-like bounced back. God-like took four steps back before he could balance himself again, and he was shocked.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYou deserve your reputation, Skysword!â God-like yelled, and the light on the shield got brighter and brighter. He rushed toward the Overbearing Shield again.
The Eternal Shield kept hitting Han Senâs shield, and it kept bouncing back. It couldnât make Han Sen move even a little bit.
âI canât believe Han Sen is already this powerful.â Lotusâs eyes were gleaming.
Night Empress also praised, âIâve heard about Skysword before, but I can hardly believe that this is him. The rumors about him certainly seem to be true, though. His power is indeed amazing. I would never have imagined that he would already be this powerful after only a decade of being a demi-god.â
Night Empress and the others didnât know that Han Sen had actually been absent from the sanctuary for almost ten years.
Han Sen was just standing there, and his arm shield was hit again and again. Though the Overbearing Shield wasnât damaged, it couldnât damage the Eternal Shield of God-like either.
âIt seems that my shieldâs reflecting power isnât enough to break the Eternal Shield.â Han Sen looked at his opponent, but he didnât feel anything. Heâd agreed to the competition because he was already well-prepared.
Seeing that the strikes from God-like didnât do anything to Han Sen, the creatures from Sacred were all dazed.
They all knew how sturdy God-likeâs shield was. Even though the Eternal Shield had hit the Overbearing Shield many times, Han Senâs shield still hadnât cracked. That meant Han Senâs shield had to be just as sturdy as the Eternal Shield.
âAre you done?â Han Sen asked, looking at God-like.
âIâve never stopped you from making attacks. You can do so whenever you want.â God-like was surprised by how solid Han Senâs shield was, but he wasnât that worried.
He couldnât break Han Senâs defense, but he was still confident in his own Eternal Shield. He was confident that Han Se couldnât damage his shield, and it would end up in a tie.
Han Sen smiled, and he summoned an object into his hand.
God-like was suddenly anxious. After all, the reputation of Skysword preceded him. Though he had the invincible Eternal Shield, he still couldnât help being nervous.
He looked at Han Senâs hands, and he saw that Han Sen was grabbing an object about the size of an egg instead of something sharp.
Even so, God-like didnât dare underestimate it. He summoned all the power in his body and infused it into the Eternal Shield, and the shield started to shine like a sacred object.
Han Sen was holding his Crystal Core. He took a look at the radiant Eternal Shield. He grabbed the Crystal Core, and he pulled his arm back. And then, he threw the Crystal Core out like a baseball.
The Crystal Core flew between them like lightning, and then it hit the Eternal Shield.
âHou!â At the same time, God-like yelled as well, and all his power burst out, condensing in the Eternal Shield and making it much more solid.
Everyone stared at the place where the Eternal Shield and the Crystal Core would connect. However, what happened next shocked everyone and made their eyes pop out. They couldnât believe what they were seeing.
The Crystal Core hit the Eternal Shield hard, like a china cup hitting an iron plate, and the Crystal Core was smashed into pieces.
Everyone was startled. They originally thought that the object Han Sen threw out would be a powerful one, but nobody had expected it to be immediately smashed, so all of them found it quite unacceptable.
However, after the Crystal Core got smashed, that wasnât the end of it. A small skeleton climbed out and hit the Eternal Shield with one punch.
God-like was scared again because he didnât know what the skeleton was. He condensed his power again and used his Eternal Shield to ward off that punch.
What confused God-like was that the punch from the jade skeleton didnât have much power. When its small fist hit the Eternal Shield, it barely made any sound, and God-like didnât even feel his shield tremble. The jade skeleton then flew back into Han Senâs hands.
âI thought that was going to be impressive, but you were just bluffing,â said the giant dragon.
Everyone else thought the same thing that the giant dragon did. They all thought that Han Sen was just bluffing, since the attack didnât do anything.
âNo wonder. After all, this is the Eternal Shield of our leader. Even if Skyswordâs shield is impressive, it wonât be able to damage the Eternal Shield,â said another creature, smiling.
However, God-likeâs expression suddenly changed, and he made a small squeaking sound. Everyone looked to him and his Eternal Shield.
A jade color was spreading across the surface of the Eternal Shield, and after only a short while, it covered the entire Eternal Shield and turned it into a jade sculpture. It looked completely different from the original Eternal Shield now.
All the mutant creatures from Sacred were stunned because they didnât know whether the change was good or bad. All the creatures from Night Shelter looked at the Eternal Shield curiously, as they didnât know what was going on.
As for God-like, his face was already deep red, and his eyes were filled with horror.
