Boom—
The fire sword pierced through the sky, its might overwhelming and tyrannical.
Though many couldn't see the spectacle of the fire sword cleaving through the air, they could feel the ferocious aura radiating from the blazing crimson sword — far more terrifying than before.
Crack—
However, what happened next took everyone by surprise. The golden war god's massive hand reached out and caught the Magma Emperor Sword directly in its grip, clamping down on it tight.
"Hahaha, so this is your so-called half-forged Ancestral Weapon? From where I stand, it's nothing but bluster. Your half-forged Ancestral Weapon must be a fake, right?" Seeing that his own half-forged Ancestral Weapon had won the initial clash, the Dark Hall Master burst into smug laughter.
"A fake? Could Lord Chu Feng's half-forged Ancestral Weapon really be fake?"
After hearing the Dark Hall Master's words, many within the Gate of Illusion began to doubt.
It wasn't that they didn't trust Chu Feng — but since both were half-forged Ancestral Weapons, how could the gap between them possibly be this vast?
Boom—
Yet in the very next instant, the golden war god's enormous hand suddenly exploded.
At the same time, a towering pillar of flame erupted forth, engulfing the sky within a ten-thousand-meter radius in the blink of an eye.
Boom—
But before anyone could make sense of what was happening, the golden war god's colossal body suddenly toppled to the ground.
And upon its body stood a massive flaming foot — it had been kicked down.
Looking more closely, every observer turned pale, their jaws dropping in shock.
At this very moment, standing atop the golden war god that towered a thousand meters tall was a flame giant — and this flame giant stood several thousand meters high, more than twice the size of the golden war god itself.
"Damn it all! If this Emperor doesn't show his power, you think this Emperor is some sick cat?"
What shocked everyone the most was that the flame giant actually spoke.
And the moment those words left its mouth, the Magma Emperor raised its massive foot high, then stomped down with devastating force.
Boom—
A thunderous impact rang out, and even those sheltering inside the Gate of Illusion felt the ground shake beneath them.
Outside the Gate of Illusion, golden light exploded in all directions as shockwaves ravaged the surroundings — the golden war god had been completely crushed to dust.
"No — impossible. This is absolutely impossible!"
In that moment, the Dark Hall Master grabbed his own head with both hands, his face filled with utter disbelief. He was on the verge of a complete breakdown.
Everything before his eyes was unreal — not because of how powerful the Magma Emperor Sword was, but because the Magma Emperor Sword could actually speak.
He knew full well that only a half-forged Ancestral Weapon capable of speaking was a true half-forged Ancestral Weapon. Only after being thoroughly conquered by its master would a half-forged Ancestral Weapon fight with its own will and speak in its own voice.
And that was something he had never been able to achieve.
Yet what he could not do, Chu Feng had done it all.
He finally realized that Chu Feng's humiliation of him was not arrogance or conceit — Chu Feng truly had the power and the right.
"Everyone, look! The golden giant is gone — completely gone!"
"Lord Chu Feng won! Lord Chu Feng won!!"
"Incredible! Lord Chu Feng truly is unrivaled under heaven!"
Though the Dark Hall Master was having a mental collapse, the billions of people within the Gate of Illusion erupted in jubilant celebration.
They could all see that this battle was finally coming to an end. Chu Feng had triumphed over the Dark Hall Master — he had defeated the Dark Hall Master that even Lian Yue Xian could not overcome.
"No — how can this be? How can this be?!"
