Chapter 1393: The Strengths of All Schools

After speaking, Feng Huang Shen Zi stepped onto the battle platform, his divine eyes blazing like torches, his qi and blood surging like a tidal wave.

He certainly had the capital to be arrogant. As the divine child of the Feng Huang clan, his bloodline was extraordinarily powerful. Every gesture he made was accompanied by the cry of a phoenix, creating an oppressive atmosphere.

"Let's make this clear first: regardless of win or loss, there's no revenge involved."

Ye Chen rolled his neck, and golden qi and blood overflowed from him, each strand vigorous and domineering.

"You won't have a chance to step down." Feng Huang Shen Zi chuckled coldly, soaring into the sky with a single step and pressing down with a palm. An immortal mountain peak instantly materialized, crashing toward Ye Chen to crush him beneath it.

Ye Chen didn't respond with words; he countered with his most powerful attack, striding against the heavens. Grasping various divine abilities, with seal scripts swirling around his fingers, he threw a punch that dominated all, making the world lose its color.

On the spot, the descending immortal mountain was shattered by his punch in a thunderous collapse.

However, amid the scattering rubble, a bolt of lightning shot out, fired from Feng Huang Shen Zi's forehead and aimed straight at Ye Chen's primordial spirit. It was a secret technique to annihilate the true self, silent and chilling.

Ye Chen ascended into the sky without dodging or defending, allowing the lightning to enter his sea of consciousness. But before it could approach his primordial spirit, it was devoured by a seven-colored phoenix.

"Feng Huang Xian Yu." Feng Huang Shen Zi recognized it at a glance and laughed even more mockingly. "Did you really think obtaining a secret technique from my clan's ancestors would qualify you to stand on equal footing with me?"

"Such a waste of words." Ye Chen charged forward like a golden divine dragon, wasting no time on talk. He swung his arm and struck down with a palm, splitting the entire expanse of the void.

Feng Huang Shen Zi sneered, his palm enveloped in immortal qi and lightning, and he struck out across a hundred zhang of empty space.

Their strikes collided head-on, and the newly healed void space collapsed once more. Fresh blood spilled down—some golden, some crimson red. Both were injured, their palms and fingers stained with blood.

"I underestimated you." Feng Huang Shen Zi licked his bloody lips, and dazzling immortal light swirled around his mangled palm. The fresh blood dripping from it reversed flow in an instant, and his wounds healed immediately. This overwhelming regenerative power left many veteran spectators sighing in amazement.

Ye Chen was no pushover either; the regenerative ability of his Huang Gu Sheng Ti was in no way inferior. The sacred blood on his golden palm transformed into golden qi, merging back into his sacred body, and his wounds healed in a single breath.

"The Huang Gu Sheng Ti, invincible at the same level? What a joke." Feng Huang Shen Zi's mocking laughter echoed faintly as he attacked again, treading the void and soaring through the nine heavens. He thrust out a palm, unleashing a brilliant immortal sea that swallowed the sky and earth, flooding the heavens and submerging Ye Chen.

This was a powerful secret technique; the immortal sea was Feng Huang Shen Zi's divine repository, infused with his dao principles and enhanced by the supreme divine abilities of the Feng Huang clan, painting a magnificent scene.

In the divine sea, Ye Chen had transformed into a golden dragon coiling and thrashing, but he couldn't break free. He was repeatedly forced back into human form by the surging waves, and before he could steady himself, the immortal sea closed in to devour him.

Ye Chen frowned; this immortal sea was extraordinarily strange, carrying its own divine abilities and containing an extremely domineering sealing force. Even his golden qi and blood was being eroded by it.

The spectators sat up straight, their eyes gleaming as they stared at the immortal sea. Every strand of immortal qi felt as heavy as a mountain. Not to mention a quasi-saint, even a saint swallowed within would likely be crushed.

Yet, just as they were shocked, a pitch-black vortex appeared at the center of the immortal sea, spinning rapidly and expanding endlessly. Chunks of the immortal sea were swallowed up and dissipated into nothing.

"Tun Tian Mo Gong." Feng Huang Shen Zi's eyes narrowed sharply, recognizing the divine ability Ye Chen was using—it was the supreme secret technique of the Tun Tian clan, terrifyingly powerful.

"You guessed right." Ye Chen stood at the vortex's center, flashing a set of white teeth, his expression relaxed and content. Since it was Feng Huang Shen Zi's divine repository, why not devour it?

"Miscalculation." Feng Huang Shen Zi's face darkened, his divine body trembling slightly as he retracted the brilliant immortal sea.

"Keep going." Ye Chen crossed the void to approach, having absorbed some of Feng Huang Shen Zi's divine repository. His golden qi and blood became even more vigorous, and he was full of energy and fighting spirit.

"Kill!" Feng Huang Shen Zi roared in anger, gripping his secret techniques and divine abilities, his body enveloped in overwhelming killing intent.

The true great battle erupted, with the two clashing in the heavens, bombarding each other with secret techniques and divine abilities.

It was a grand spectacle: Ye Chen stood with his feet on a golden divine sea and his back against a chaotic world, like an eight desolations war god. His qi and blood surged, and his divine abilities and secret techniques flowed endlessly.

Feng Huang Shen Zi, on the other hand, stood with his feet on a brilliant divine river and his back against the Feng Huang Xian Di, like a supreme divine king. His Feng Huang immortal laws were peerless, shattering the heavens and splitting the earth.

The world trembled, and the roaring sounds were deafening. Many disciples of Yao Chi Holy Land activated their protective forces, with blood overflowing from their ears and their faces pale.

Seeing this, the great saints of Yao Chi quickly formed seals and acted, setting up a powerful barrier to enclose Ye Chen and Feng Huang Shen Zi, preventing the shockwaves from harming the innocent.

The fluctuations from their battle were indeed immense, turning the entire void into a chaotic realm. If anyone foolishly rushed in now, they would likely be ground to dust, their souls scattered.

"Perhaps only these two beasts dare to fight like this." Gazing up at the void, many veterans sighed. "Youth is wonderful! Can they really go all out like this without exhausting their power?"

"The facts prove that the Huang Gu Sheng Ti is no joke." Many took a deep breath. "It's been so many years since I've seen Feng Huang Shen Zi in such a sorry state."

"The Huang Gu Sheng Ti, invincible at the same level—it's not just empty talk." Someone laughed.

"The Huang Gu Sheng Ti against the divine child of the Feng Huang clan—this scene is truly sigh-worthy." While marveling, the many quasi-emperors on site also sighed quietly.

"Who would have thought that in this era, the Huang Gu Sheng Ti and the Feng Huang clan's divine child would end up as enemies?" Yao Chi Xian Mu gazed up at the void and murmured softly.

"I wonder what Dong Hua Nü Di and Sheng Jun Di Huang would feel if they were still alive and saw these two fighting." Ji Ning Shuang muttered to herself, lost in thought.

"Feng Huang Shen Zi has activated the Feng Huang Dao." Amid the discussions, someone exclaimed in surprise, making all the spectators widen their eyes. Even the quasi-emperors looked up.

Before the words settled, a figure plummeted from the void, smashing a deep crater into the battle platform.

Looking closely, the person who crawled out of the crater was Ye Chen, his powerful sacred body covered in fresh blood.

He was covered in wounds, each one entwined with annihilating light that eroded his essence and slowed his recovery. Even with his surging sacred body qi and blood, he appeared weakened.

Meanwhile, Feng Huang Shen Zi still stood in the nine heavens. His form had changed, with an ancient immortal mark on his forehead and his surging qi and blood turned black, each strand fused with annihilation.

Along with the change came a surge in his combat power, instantly breaking through taboos and elevating to a new level. Though not at the saint realm, it surpassed saint-level might, a divine power that inspired awe.

This was a forbidden secret technique, achieved by sacrificing lifespan with blood offerings to temporarily boost power. Ye Chen's fall from the void was precisely due to Feng Huang Shen Zi activating this domineering forbidden art.

"This is impressive." Ye Chen wiped the blood from his mouth, marveling at the Feng Huang Dao.

"You're the first to force me to use the Feng Huang Dao." Feng Huang Shen Zi looked down from the heavens, his voice ethereal and authoritative, though his ferocious eyes undermined his regal demeanor.

"Then I'm truly honored." Ye Chen smiled leisurely, and a symbol slowly etched itself on his forehead—it was an ancient demonic mark. Strands of his long hair turned blood-red, and his golden qi and blood gained a cold, demonic aura of violence and slaughter.

"Mo Dao." Seeing Ye Chen's transformation, the spectators furrowed their brows slightly.

"What a surprise—he actually has demonic blood within him." Man Zu Shen Zi narrowed his eyes into slits, sensitive to demonic blood as the divine child of the demon clan, confident he wasn't mistaken.

"Bring it on." Ye Chen's roar shook the heavens and earth as he charged into the ethereal void once more.

"Kill!" Feng Huang Shen Zi gritted his teeth and struck out with a palm, manifesting a phoenix—not a real one, but a weave of various secret techniques and divine abilities in the form of a phoenix.

"Fight!" Ye Chen countered with a palm, summoning a golden divine dragon to clash against the descending phoenix.

"Hmm?" Watching Ye Chen summon the dragon, Man Zu Shen Zi below couldn't help but exclaim softly, scratching his head. "He actually knows our Kang Long divine ability."

"Suppress him for me." As Man Zu Shen Zi marveled, Feng Huang Shen Zi unleashed another great divine ability, manifesting a Nine Heavens Immortal Palace and pressing it down on Ye Chen to trap him within.

"Break it for me." Ye Chen shrank the distance in a single step, a golden dragon blade appearing in his hand. With a strike full of domineering power, he split the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace in two.

"Bai Long Shen Dao." Long Zu Shen Zi also narrowed his eyes, staring at the golden broken blade in Ye Chen's hand—it was a relic of the dragon clan, lost for countless ages, yet now in Ye Chen's possession.

"Die!" As Long Zu Shen Zi frowned, Feng Huang Shen Zi summoned a crimson immortal sword, shooting it toward Ye Chen with devastating force that pierced through the void.

"Shen Huo Lei Ting." Ye Chen called forth immortal fire and heavenly thunder, shaping them into a divine bow and arrow. He fired a shot with unmatched piercing power, obliterating the crimson immortal sword.

"She Tian secret technique." This time, Wu Zu Shen Zi frowned, recognizing as the divine child of the witch clan that Ye Chen was using their supreme secret technique.

"Exterminate!" While Wu Zu Shen Zi murmured, Feng Huang Shen Zi unleashed another powerful attack, firing a thunderbolt from his forehead. Its power was greater than before, enhanced by another secret technique that could bypass the Feng Huang Xian Yu guarding Ye Chen's sea of consciousness.

"You're not the only one." Ye Chen snorted coldly, immortal light swirling at his forehead as he shot out a brilliant divine beam that pierced from the western void to the eastern heavens, shattering the domineering thunderbolt.

"Shen Shang." Below, another divine child narrowed his eyes—it was Shen Zu Shen Zi, who furrowed his brows at Ye Chen. He wouldn't mistake it; Ye Chen was using Shen Shang, a secret technique of the god clan.

"This is truly fresh." Watching Ye Chen chain one secret technique after another, many veteran quasi-emperors stroked their beards. "The Mo Dao of the demon clan, the Kang Long of the barbarian clan, the Bai Long Shen Dao of the dragon clan, the She Tian of the witch clan, the Shen Shang of the god clan—this Huang Gu Sheng Ti really embodies the strengths of a hundred schools!"

"I wonder if Xian Zu Shen Zi would jump up in excitement knowing he also possesses the Liu Dao Xian Yan." Ji Ning Shuang still rested her chin on her hands as she gazed up, glancing at the nearby Xian Zu Shen Zi. "It's really strange how Ye Chen has the Liu Dao Xian Yan."
