Chapter 1521: Chapter 1521: State Preceptor Xia Yao, Peak Battle
The entire universe was astir with the news of the impending duel.
Countless cultivators were abuzz with heated discussion.
But soon, more news came out.
"We have news!"
"Sect Master Ye and National Adviser Xia have mutually decided to engage in a duel at the Thirty-third Layer Immortal Emperor cultivation level, and the location is the Void Realm."
"I wonder who will emerge victorious."
"I think it will be National Adviser Xia."
"I, on the other hand, believe it’s Sect Master Ye."
The news gradually spread, and everyone immediately headed for the Northern Emperor Star in the Starry Sky World, attempting to enter the Void Realm to watch the battle up close, only to find the Three-legged Golden Toad standing at the entrance, preventing anyone from stepping into the Void Realm.
"The Void Realm is too small; if all of you crowd in, it will disturb Lord Void Beast. Don’t worry, the fight will be broadcast outside; you can watch it anytime."
So said the Three-legged Golden Toad.
Upon hearing this, the multitude of strong practitioners felt quite frustrated, but didn’t want to oppose the Three-legged Golden Toad, considering they still needed its service to test their battle strength with the Void Beast.
...
Three days later.
At this moment, the Northern Emperor Star was packed with people, with all the large and small taverns completely filled, especially the North Pole Ice Field area, which was full of cultivators.
In the sky, a gigantic light screen appeared.
Everyone immediately looked up.
In the scene.
Ye Feng and Xia Yao floated in midair.
At this moment, they were hovering deep in the Void Realm’s void, surrounded by strange black mist, forming a vast space for them to battle freely.
Under the effect of the black mist, both their cultivation levels were forcibly suppressed to the Thirty-third Layer Immortal Emperor level.
"Very interesting feeling."
Xia Yao sensed her current state, finding indeed her cultivation was suppressed, and even her secret techniques couldn’t forcibly enhance her cultivation.
This feeling was unprecedented.
Ye Feng stood still, discovering his body felt restrained by some sort of force field; even though the power of his microcosm was still strong and continuous, it could only display a cultivation level equivalent to the Thirty-third Layer Immortal Emperor.
At this point, Xia Yao, the state preceptor of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom, looked at Ye Feng and asked with a smile, "Sect Master Ye, in this battle, how confident are you in your chances of winning?"
Ye Feng calmly replied, "You’ll only know after fighting."
"Your answer surprises me; I originally thought you would feel you have a ten percent certainty of winning." With that, Xia Yao’s lips curved in a slight smile.
On the Northern Emperor Star, everyone was watching the duel.
"Why haven’t they started fighting yet?"
"Why are they wasting time talking?"
"Start the fight already!"
The crowd kept urging, having come from afar to watch the battle, not to see the two exchanging jabs.
In the Void Realm.
Ye Feng stood quietly in the void, gazing at the state preceptor Xia Yao in the distance, and said, "Less talk, let’s begin sparring!"
Xia Yao suddenly asked, "How do we determine a winner or loser? Surely it can’t be a life-or-death battle? Deciding by life and death wouldn’t be very friendly."
Ye Feng said, "Then, let’s fight with all our strength; whoever admits defeat first will be declared the loser."
Xia Yao nodded, "Alright, let’s proceed then."
"Feel free to make your move," Ye Feng said.
With a sweet smile, Xia Yao exhaled a breath of mist; it seemed gentle, yet suddenly accelerated in the next moment, like a terrifying bolt, instantly striking in front of Ye Feng.
"Nice speed."
Ye Feng allowed the bolt to slash at his body but easily deflected it, remaining unharmed.
"Impressive defensive capability," Xia Yao remarked.
"My turn now." Ye Feng similarly exhaled a breath, which spun in mid-air, transforming into a sharp long spear, piercing Xia Yao’s chest instantly.
"Sect Master Ye, this area isn’t meant for stabbing!"
Xia Yao suddenly let out a shout, shattering Ye Feng’s aura spear and, with a flicker, charged up to Ye Feng, forming hand seals to unleash a scorching treasured seal.
Boom!
The surrounding black mist churned violently, turning into numerous black air currents that rushed out, all attacking Ye Feng.
"Bring it on!"
Ye Feng waved his large sleeve; behind him appeared a phantom of an Ancient Giant God, which stomped fiercely, crushing the black air currents, and continued its assault, shattering Xia Yao’s treasured seal, forcing her to retreat several steps.
"Impressive power."
Xia Yao praised, forming hand seals again, this time not launching at Ye Feng but striking herself on her proud chest, causing her aura to surge dramatically.
"Shocking God Piercer!"
She suddenly shouted, lights bursting from her eyes, rotating and merging in mid-air, like an indestructible sword, slashing towards Ye Feng’s spiritual sea at his brow.
At that moment, Ye Feng felt a tremor in his heart and soul.
The surrounding scene flipped abruptly.
It felt as if he had entered a deep ancient universe starry sky from the black mist space of the Void Realm, pulled by the gravity of innumerable stars, making his head feel like it’s splitting, his whole body drawn by forces from different directions.
"What a domineering divine skill!"
Ye Feng gritted his teeth; when he came back to his senses, he found his body immobilized at the spot, a towering black peak heavily pressing down in front of him.
"Sect Master Ye, you are defeated!"
National Adviser Xia Yao laughed, pressing down with her foot on the heavy black peak, enveloped by an extremely terrifying power, looking like it would crush Ye Feng.
"Defeated? Impossible!"
Ye Feng raised both hands skyward, holding up the heavily descending mountain, unleashing powerful world force, lightly shaking to crush the mountain.
"Such formidable power!" Xia Yao’s expression changed slightly, acknowledging Ye Feng’s strength indeed.
This was combat power at the nine-star pinnacle level of a king, yet it was unexpectedly easy for Ye Feng to dissipate it.
The other party was indeed invincible at the same rank!
On the Northern Emperor Star.
The crowd looked at the light screen, discovering that during the battle, the screen could display the level of divine skills’ power they unleashed.
Initially, they only unleashed power at the level of a King of Seven Stars; to everyone, that was surely just warming up. As the battle progressed, both of their powers easily reached the nine-star pinnacle level of a king.
"These two are definitely Invincible Supremes!"
"It seems they haven’t even gone all out, yet they’ve reached the nine-star pinnacle level of a king; if they go all out, any genius with nine-star pinnacle king-level power before them would be defeated in one blow."
"Is this what an Invincible Supreme is?"
"So strong!"
The onlookers were astounded.
Nearby in the void.
Lei Wudao and his protector stood on a meteorite, coldly watching the scenes.
"They’ve already reached the nine-star pinnacle of a king; soon, their combat power might break into the invincible domain, leaving other same-rank cultivators far behind."
The protector said as such.
His battle power was no less, reaching above the King of Seven Stars, among the top of the same rank.
However, compared to Ye Feng, Lei Wudao, Xia Yao—these Invincible Supremes—he was far lacking; in a duel of the same rank, he couldn’t withstand a single move from them.
"Humph, what of invincibility?"
"I, Lei Wudao, am invincible too!"
Lei Wudao spoke with a sullen face, unwilling to accept otherwise.
In the Void Realm.
After Ye Feng shattered Xia Yao’s black mountain, he stood with arms crossed, saying, "Your method of disturbing my divine soul perception just now was quite remarkable; under an Invincible Supreme, no one can respond in time."
"Indeed." Xia Yao nodded.
That was a soul attack.
Once struck, even an absolute genius with nine-star pinnacle king-level power would be drawn into a soul trap, unable to fend off the outside world.
In such a situation, they could only be at the mercy of others.
"But sadly, your strength is too formidable; even after being hit by the ’Shocking God Piercer’ divine skill, you were able to regain your senses quickly."
National Adviser Xia Yao gently sighed.
Ye Feng urged,
"Enough with the flashy tricks, let’s showcase real skills with our hands!"
Before the words fell, his aura began to gather, giving a feeling of facing immense terror, even Xia Yao’s expression sank.
