Boom... Crash!!! Outside the grand hall, Wu Tianjun and Taishang Tianwang were already locked in battle. At this point, they were still evenly matched.
Thwack! The two figures separated. Wu Tianjun's clothes remained pristine, his demeanor calm and unruffled. As for Taishang Tianwang, his left eye bore a fist mark from Wu Tianjun, making him look somewhat disheveled.
"Hmph! The Demon Race has produced another monstrous talent!" a young Divine Realm expert sighed.
"Heh heh! It seems the Taishang clan will lose a lot of face this time!" the spectators chuckled strangely.
"Haha! Maha Xuan has also entered this grotto-heaven. If he finds out that an Ancient Demon Race member is being bullied, there might be quite a show!"
"Indeed! The Taishang clan is famously overbearing, but there are quite a few who aren't afraid of them. I heard that last time, Taishang Tianhuang was chased by Maha Xuan for millions of miles; luckily, an expert intervened, otherwise, he would have had a hard time escaping intact."
"That's right! Even if the Taishang clan is overbearing, there are still people who aren't afraid of them. Last time, the Demon Race's prodigy, the Little Dragon King, almost cut down Taishang Tianwu!"
"Haha! I heard Taishang Tianwu is a beauty! The Little Dragon King truly doesn't know how to cherish a beauty!" someone laughed and said. Many rogue cultivators like them had been suppressed by major powers, so they harbored considerable resentment.
"Hmm! Although Taishang Tianwang suffered a slight disadvantage this time, with Taishang Tiandi present, that mysterious white-robed figure might not have an easy time," someone said, looking warily at the purple-robed youth.
...At the mention of Taishang Tiandi's name, few people dared to speak further. It seemed that name commanded immense fear!
"Ahhhhh!!!! I'll kill you!" After separating, Taishang Tianwang, utterly enraged, immediately charged forward.
"Heaven and Earth Demonic Fist!" Seeing this, Wu Tianjun also charged! After all, this guy was helping him become more proficient with his Ancient Demonic Arts; he felt himself growing stronger with each strike! However, he still felt that his execution was somewhat clunky in places, a very strange sensation!
Boom! This time, one figure was sent flying far back before finally stopping.
"Impossible..." Taishang Tianwang pointed a trembling finger at Wu Tianjun, disbelief etched on his face. Others might not have noticed, but he clearly felt Wu Tianjun growing stronger with each blow; more precisely, he was becoming increasingly proficient with his Ancient Demonic Arts, growing more powerful and incomparably tyrannical! But the thought of his opponent using him as a punching bag for practice immediately enraged him.
"Ahhhhh! If I don't kill you, I swear I'm not human!" he roared frantically, then immediately dropped his sword and formed hand seals. "Taishang Heaven Seal! Human God Seal!" After forming several mysterious seals, a gigantic golden seal appeared, pressing down towards Wu Tianjun with astonishing power!
"So powerful!" Everyone present was startled and terrified. They weren't confident they could withstand that Human God Seal. Not even a few of the Starfield God Lord geniuses would be an exception!
"Huh?!?" Wu Tianjun also frowned slightly! "Destruction Demonic Fist!" He swung his fist towards the seal.
Once again, the two collided.
Boom!!! Both of them retreated far back.
"That great seal..." Wu Tianjun frowned. Using that great seal, Taichang Heavenly King's attack power had increased by more than forty percent. Just now, it had vaguely been even stronger than his own.
"Pfft!!!" Taichang Heavenly King coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with killing intent as he glared at Wu Tianjun in the distance. He couldn't believe how terrifying that guy was; the more he fought, the stronger he became, his martial skills seemingly inexhaustible. Even after using his secret technique, it had no effect. He had forced himself to use the secret technique, which was why he had coughed up blood.
"Terrifying! To withstand Taichang Heavenly King's secret technique and still be unharmed, this guy must not be some nobody!" Someone watching the battle exclaimed in shock.
"The Primordial Demon Race is truly terrifying! To think two such monstrous talents have appeared in this generation!"
"It's not over yet! Even though Taichang Heavenly King is injured, he still has the strength to fight another round!"
The young Divine Lords present all understood that Taichang Heavenly King had been defeated! He had unleashed his most powerful attack, yet it had done nothing to the white-masked figure. His defeat was beyond doubt! Unless he had an even stronger trump card.
"I have to admit, you are very powerful! But today, your death is certain!" Taichang Heavenly King said coldly, then spat out another mouthful of blood and, with a hand seal, struck the blood. He was using his vital essence to activate a secret technique. "Earth God Seal!"
The moment the seal appeared, the air seemed to solidify, an indescribable oppressive silence descending. The great seal continuously expanded. Taichang Heavenly King, holding the great seal aloft, stood in the sky like a proud War God. He believed this would at least gravely injure that guy.
"Hmph!" Wu Tianjun didn't stop him from forming the seal; he merely watched. His Demonic Vein inheritance only contained fist and foot martial skills, no great seals! As for his Divine Vein, it comprised spatial-temporal divine abilities and soul attacks, also without any great seals, so he was simply observing.
"Haha! You keep calling me a Primordial Demon, but have you forgotten something?" Seeing the great seal, Wu Tianjun no longer wished to hold back. Demonic energy immediately surged forth, its might more than double what it had been before!
"He was still holding back..." Everyone present was instantly terrified! What realm had that guy truly reached?!
"Ha! It seems the Taichang clan has kicked an iron plate this time. There's no need for Mohe Xuan; this mysterious expert alone is enough to give them a headache!" Someone said mockingly.
"Who knows! After all, Taichang Heavenly Emperor is still here!"
"You..." Taichang Heavenly King, holding the great seal, widened his eyes upon seeing this. This guy hadn't even used his full strength against him! "Take my Earth God Seal!" he gritted out.
"Fiery Demonic Fist! Be defeated!" With his Demonic Vein activated, Wu Tianjun was confident he could defeat Taichang Heavenly King. They were not on the same level!
"Boom!" The great seal shattered, and Tai Cang Heavenly King flew backward like a kite with a broken string. A white figure immediately shot toward him, intending to deliver a fatal blow. Almost simultaneously, another person appeared—a purple-robed figure of otherworldly grace, who threw a punch to block the attack!
"Bang!" A wave of energy erupted. Wu Tian Jun retreated eight steps before stopping. The purple-robed young man, holding Tai Cang Heavenly King, retreated three steps and frowned as he looked at Wu Tian Jun.
"Ha! Tai Cang Heavenly Emperor finally couldn’t hold back and made his move!" a young Demonic Divine Lord said in an odd tone.
"If he hadn’t intervened, Tai Cang Heavenly King would have either died or lost half his life!"
"Hmph! It seems the masked figure is still a bit weaker than Tai Cang Heavenly Emperor!" someone remarked, observing the number of steps they had retreated.
"Don’t be so sure!" the Phoenix Clan’s female Divine Lord said.
"You ambushed me!" Wu Tian Jun said coldly, looking at the purple-robed young man.
"Hmph! You want to kill my clan’s prodigy! You will pay a heavy price!" the purple-robed youth said coldly. "You lot, take care of him!" He tossed Tai Cang Heavenly King to those people to look after, then slowly walked toward Wu Tian Jun. "I wonder if Ma He Xuan will go mad when I kill you!" he said coldly.
"Hmph! Your Tai Cang family is nothing but a bunch of despicable wretches! What a disgrace that you’re one of the Human Race’s Twelve Peak Powers! Bah!" Wu Tian Jun said without the slightest fear.
"Ha! Let’s see if you still dare to talk big! Fist Overwhelming the Heavens!" The moment he struck, it was Fist Intent, and at the second stage!
"As if I’m afraid of you! Demonic Annihilation Hegemonic Fist!" At the same time, Wu Tian Jun also swung his fist to meet Tai Cang Heavenly Emperor's blow.
*Boom!* The two figures immediately retreated. Wu Tian Jun still fell back eight steps, while Tai Cang Heavenly Emperor only retreated six steps.
"I heard Tai Cang Heavenly Emperor cultivates several types of Intent simultaneously. I can’t believe he’s already reached the second stage of Intent! How terrifying!" someone sighed.
"In this era, few can be his match!"
"I wonder about that masked guy."
"We’ll have to see..."
"Second stage Fist Intent?" Wu Tian Jun muttered, his brows slightly furrowed. "In terms of Intent, I’m outmatched!"
"Peak first stage Fist Intent! You’ve hidden yourself quite deeply! Only showing yourself after years of painstaking cultivation!" Tai Cang Heavenly Emperor said with a hint of seriousness.
"I sense that your Intent isn’t fully perfected either!" Wu Tian Jun looked at Tai Cang Heavenly Emperor, his brows furrowed, then gave a slight smile and spoke.
