"Let's fight!"
At this moment, upon hearing that the two were about to duel, everyone quite consciously stepped back. Even Martial God Gu Yang and the two Martial God realm elders fell silent, eagerly anticipating this battle.
This would be the pinnacle battle of the younger generation in Xia Feng Kingdom, with nothing else comparable.
Beneath the Power Monument, the training ground plaza was cleared. Although a part of it had been shattered earlier, the training ground was still very spacious, with both length and width reaching a hundred meters, sufficient for the two to engage in combat.
The two stood on opposite sides of the training ground, one holding a pale white long spear, the other a divine lance, facing each other from a distance. Spear and lance confronted each other, their auras rising at an astonishing speed.
As they faced off, the bluestone slabs on the training ground plaza began to crack at a shocking rate.
This made everyone shudder. How terrifying must their auras be to reach this level?
It was probably already approaching the Martial God realm.
Boom—
From the crowns of their heads, a terrifying pillar of light erupted from each, drawing everyone's attention.
The pillar of light erupting from the Crown Prince was formed from his essence, energy, and spirit, containing his entire imposing aura. It was dozens to hundreds of zhang high, like a fearsome dragon soaring into the sky, spreading its wings through the nine layers of clouds, radiating an astonishing pressure that compelled submission.
Ye Chen was even more astonishing—his was a pillar of blood energy. Even Martial God Gu Yang and the other Martial God experts were shocked. Although it was only dozens to hundreds of zhang high, it was still astonishing enough. To possess such powerful blood energy, his physical body must be comparable to that of a Martial God expert, perhaps even stronger.
"No wonder his strength is so great. He's a body cultivator!" Martial God Gu Yang's expression turned grave. Only by truly encountering such individuals could one feel their terrifying potential; they were absolutely extraordinary.
It was laughable that he had previously said he wanted to take Ye Chen as a disciple and teach him body cultivation techniques. In truth, the other's physical body and blood energy were not the slightest bit inferior to his own.
The auras of the two continued to rise at an astonishing speed. In the end, their terrifying auras actually merged with their respective pillars of light, transforming into a true dragon that charged into the heavens, roaring and battling in the sky, astonishing everyone.
Even before the battle had truly begun, it had already reached such an intense level. Once the real fight started, who knew how terrifying it would become, making one's heart pound with fear.
Thirteenth Prince looked at the two, a flicker of gloom passing through his eyes. He had originally thought he could match Ye Chen, but who would have thought even Ye Chen was this terrifying, simply unbeatable.
Bang—
The Crown Prince's divine lance clanged as it struck the ground, carving a deep mark into the hard bluestone slab, sparks flying. Then, pointing it at Qian Yue from a distance, it actually emitted surging internal energy as he said coldly, "You, are you ready?"
Ye Chen's fighting spirit boiled intensely within him. His long spear pointed at the other from afar as he said, "Let's fight."
Boom—
Almost the instant his words fell, the two instantly vanished from their original spots, disappearing without a trace.
Just as countless people were about to search for their traces, with a loud boom, the training arena shook violently, brilliant light blooming as the two peerless geniuses erupted into a great battle, shaking the entire training ground.
Boom boom boom—
The speed of the two was simply too fast, so much so that ordinary people couldn't keep up with them at all. They could only hear thunderous explosions ringing out one after another as the entire massive training ground plaza rapidly cracked apart.
Everyone's expressions changed in horror. They were too strong! The training ground plaza couldn't even withstand their battle. Was this still the Xiantian realm?
Even if someone said it was the Martial God realm, they would believe it, all because the fluctuations from the battle were too terrifying, frightening beyond imagination.
The three Martial Gods' expressions changed slightly. As Martial God realm existences, they could clearly see the exchanges between the two, but they still couldn't help but change color. Because in just a short moment, the two had collided at least dozens of times, with an extremely high frequency, almost comparable to the Martial God realm.
The Crown Prince was one thing—he was the peerless genius of this generation of the Xia Feng royal family, even more extraordinary than Thirteenth Prince, with supreme cultivation, an absolute expert at the high Xiantian stage, and extremely powerful combat strength.
As streams of True Yuan flowed, even the air could be blasted apart, booming incessantly. Wielding a divine lance, he attacked like a king, his strikes sharp and fierce. Wherever he passed, the ground shattered inch by inch, ceasing to exist.
But Ye Chen was also exceptionally extraordinary. No True Yuan fluctuations could be felt from him, but clearly visible on his body surface were streams of golden mysterious light flowing. Wielding a pale white demon bone long spear, he actually fought the Crown Prince to a standstill at close quarters.
The Crown Prince moved. His expression was extremely cold and stern. He felt Ye Chen's strength, but he feared nothing. His fighting spirit boiled rapidly. His divine lance danced, Xiantian True Yuan surging forth, actually taking shape and transforming into ferocious, savage beasts—twelve forms condensed at once, baring fangs and brandishing claws as they pounced toward Ye Chen.
Undoubtedly, he was a genius. Even in battle, he could freely perform Xiantian form condensation, transforming True Yuan into demonic beasts to attack, and twelve of them at that, far surpassing the number an ordinary Xiantian expert could achieve.
But Ye Chen held a long spear in his right hand, a massive golden lion head appearing behind him, roaring mightily.
Xiantian martial technique—Golden Lion's Roar!
Roar—
An invisible sonic wave force spread out. It wasn't just sonic force; it also contained Ye Chen's supreme-level invincible will. Visible to the naked eye, the Xiantian condensed beasts directly shattered. Then Ye Chen's figure moved, flashing across the sky like lightning as he charged toward the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince stood firm, unafraid. His divine lance happened to thrust forward, aiming at Ye Chen's throat, striking at a vital spot.
Ye Chen let out a great roar, the entire training ground plaza trembling. His right hand infused with Human Yuan Power transformed into a crystalline golden palm blade that directly clashed with the divine lance, producing the most brilliant sparks and divine radiance that engulfed everything.
Both were engaged in close-quarters combat, their auras soaring to the heavens, fighting extremely fiercely. Only the three Martial Gods could clearly see everything happening in this battle. Thirteenth Prince and even the elite students of the Heaven-tier Academy could barely make it out.
One couldn't help but marvel at Ye Chen's physical body being too strong. He could actually withstand the Crown Prince's divine lance with his fleshly body. Otherwise, even a Martial God going up might be injured.
No wonder Ye Chen, even without True Yuan fluctuations, could overpower all heroes and make the Power Monument emit seven-colored light. This wasn't just empty talk. Such an ultimate treasure body made everyone unable to believe it.
The two continued their relentless battle, neither inferior to the other. The onlookers exclaimed repeatedly, feeling satisfied to actually witness this true pinnacle battle of the younger generation. This wasn't something one could see anytime.
Moreover, both could be called peerless geniuses appearing once in a thousand years in the entire Xia Feng Kingdom. This battle of the younger generation could be called a millennium battle.
Rumble—
Finally, during the great battle, the entire training ground plaza could no longer withstand it. The plaza, a hundred meters long and wide, completely disintegrated, rumbling sounds of shattering ringing out endlessly.
This scene made everyone's jaws drop, unable to utter a word for a long time, filled with shock.
Too strong! The training ground was built from hard rock. Even Xiantian experts would find it difficult to damage, but now an entire training ground had been smashed apart like this. One had to admit the combat power of both sides was terrifying.
Swish—
Both combatants separated at the same time, standing on opposite sides of the shattered training ground, unscathed and intact, not even their clothes the slightest bit disheveled. Each stood on a pile of rubble, looking at the other from afar, their auras undiminished.
Both had auras like rainbows, facing each other.
Such endurance alone was enough to make their peers feel ashamed of their inferiority.
The Crown Prince spoke, revealing a trace of appreciation. "Ye Chen, you are indeed strong, actually able to fight me to a draw. This is enough for me to consider you an opponent. But if this is all the strength you have, you should admit defeat. Because I only used half my strength just now."
As he spoke, his entire aura suddenly rose by a large margin, becoming even more oppressive. A terrifying aura wantonly bloomed, making the three Martial Gods change color, because it was already quite close to the Martial God realm.
The Crown Prince was only twenty-two years old, yet he had already reached this step. It was astonishing.
Everyone else sucked in a cold breath, exclaiming repeatedly. The battle had been so intense, yet it was only half his combat strength.
The Crown Prince was simply too terrifying.
"Is that so?"
Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged. With a light movement, an equally terrifying aura bloomed from his body. It was only an Xiantian realm aura, but the blood energy erupting from the crown of his head slowly merged with True Yuan power, becoming crimson blood yuan that surged forth like crashing waves, extremely vigorous.
He looked at the Crown Prince and said with a light laugh, "Then, shall we continue the battle?"
