BOOM— The fire sword cleaved through the sky, its might overwhelmingly tyrannical.
Though many could not see the fire sword as it pierced through the void, they could all feel that the pressure radiating from the crimson blade was even more ferocious than before.
CRACK— However, what happened next caught everyone off guard. The Golden War God's colossal hand reached out and seized the Magma Emperor's Sword directly, gripping it tight.
"Hahaha, so this is your so-called Half-Ancestral Armament? In my eyes, it's nothing but a bluff. Your Half-Ancestral Armament—it's fake, isn't it?" Seeing that his own Half-Ancestral Armament had won in a single clash, the Dark Hall Hall Master burst into triumphant laughter.
"Fake? Could it be that Lord Chu Feng's Half-Ancestral Armament really is fake?"
After hearing the Dark Hall Hall Master's words, many within the Gate of Illusion began to doubt as well.
It wasn't that they didn't trust Chu Feng. It was simply that both were Half-Ancestral Armaments—how could the gap between them possibly be this enormous?
BOOM— But in the very next instant, the Golden War God's massive hand suddenly exploded.
At the same time, a towering inferno erupted alongside it, swallowing the sky for ten thousand meters in every direction in the blink of an eye.
BOOM— Yet, before anyone could make sense of what was happening, the Golden War God's colossal body toppled to the ground.
And planted upon its chest was a massive flaming foot. It had been... kicked to the ground.
Upon closer inspection, every onlooker went deathly pale, their jaws hanging open in disbelief.
At this moment, standing atop the thousand-meter-tall Golden War God was a giant of flame. The fire giant towered several thousand meters high—more than several times the size of the Golden War God itself.
"Damn it all, does this Emperor need to remind you who he is before you stop treating him like a sick cat?"
And what shocked everyone the most was that the fire giant actually spoke.
The moment those words left its mouth, the Magma Emperor raised its towering foot high—then slammed it back down.
BOOM— A deafening explosion rang out, and even those sheltering inside the Gate of Illusion felt the earth and sky shake beneath them.
Outside the Gate, golden light erupted in every direction as shockwaves of devastation tore through the air. The Golden War God had been ground to dust.
"No—impossible. This is absolutely impossible."
In that moment, the Dark Hall Hall Master clawed at his head with both hands, his face a mask of utter disbelief. He was... on the verge of complete breakdown.
What he found so inconceivable was not the power of the Magma Emperor's Sword—it was that the Magma Emperor's Sword could speak.
He knew full well that only a true Half-Ancestral Armament could speak, and only one that had been thoroughly conquered by its master would fight with its own will and find its own voice.
And that... was something he had never achieved.
Yet what he could not do, Chu Feng had done.
He finally realized that Chu Feng's humiliation of him hadn't been empty arrogance—Chu Feng had the power and the right to back it up.
"Look everyone, the golden giant is gone—it's completely gone!"
"Lord Chu Feng won! Lord Chu Feng won!!"
"Incredible! Lord Chu Feng truly is unmatched under heaven!"
Though the Dark Hall Hall Master had shattered, the hundreds of millions of people within the Gate of Illusion erupted in celebration.
They could all see that this battle was finally coming to an end. Chu Feng had triumphed over the Dark Hall Hall Master—the very same Dark Hall Hall Master that even Yue Xian had been unable to defeat.
"No... how can this be? How can this be?!"
Yet just as the crowd erupted in jubilation, the Heaven Reaching Immortal and several elders of the Ancient Elves' faces changed drastically, contorted with terror.
