The battle that countless eyes had been awaiting finally began.

After a night of guidance from the Peacock Great Emperor, 's understanding of the Asura Killing Dao had deepened considerably, giving him far more confidence.

However, also knew this opponent would be no pushover.

Setting aside how terrifying the Asura Killing Dao itself was, the mere fact that stood at the peak of the first level of the Sovereign Realm was enough to look down on the vast majority of geniuses.

Even someone as formidable as would likely have no choice but to bow before this man.

The gap between the first level and the peak of the first level of the Sovereign Realm was not trivial. The former simply represented entry into the realm, while the latter meant one was on the verge of breaking through into the second level.

wore crimson robes, his entire figure resembling a raging inferno. His gaze was wild and untamed, full of savage arrogance, as he looked down upon .

The corner of his mouth curled upward in a strange arc, lending him an air of reckless abandon and raw, primal power.

"So you're that Pill King Zhen who's been hopping around so much lately?" raised an eyebrow, his voice sharp as a honed blade, carrying an irksome edge.

Hopping around?

sneered inwardly, his expression unchanged, and regarded with a calm glance. "So the so-called foremost genius of the Asura Killing Dao is nothing more than a loudmouth, just like all the other mediocrities?"

The foremost genius of the Asura Killing Dao!

This single remark was devastatingly pointed, driving a wedge directly into the ranks of the Asura Great Emperor's lineage.

In truth, was the second-ranked genius among the Asura Great Emperor's disciples. Of course, his martial cultivation was by no means inferior to the first-ranked one.

let out a cold laugh. "Genius or mediocrity—it makes no difference. My only goal on this stage is simple: to cut down anyone who dares provoke me with a single stroke!"

"I've heard enough of these boring speeches," said, casually picking at his ear with a mocking tone. "If you've got something fresh, by all means say it. If not, stop talking and let's get to it. All this talk is tiresome."

"Good, very good," snarled through gritted teeth, furious amusement flickering in his eyes. "I've seen men who were eager to die, but never one so desperate to rush toward his own grave. Rest assured—I'll oblige you."

's lips curled dismissively. "Truly, never-ending chatter."

As he spoke, the Five-Colored Divine Light Sword materialized in his hand. He chanted in a resonant voice: "Then allow me to strike first."

This time, intended to seize the initiative.

"Qi is the mother of spirit, and spirit is the child of qi. With my Five Qi, I summon the Five Thunders. Five Thunders of Heavenly Annihilation, Sword Body Divine Voice!" he intoned, his voice ringing with power.

He had already drawn upon the momentum of heaven and earth. In an instant, the sky shifted colors as thunder boomed in rolling waves and sword energy surged forth like a geyser.

This was the ultimate technique of the Five Thunders Divine Voice Sword—Myriad Swords in Torrent!

When this technique was unleashed, it harnessed the grand momentum of heaven and earth, calling down the Five Thunders and fusing them with sword qi to create a storm of thunder-resonant sword energy—a torrent of ten thousand blades.

Facing this storm of sword energy, did not dare let his guard down. His expression grew solemn, and a defensive runic glyph flared with light around his entire body.

Clearly, even would not dare meet such sword energy head-on.

The next instant, pressed his palms together, and waves of fiery qi erupted around him, condensing layer upon layer until they formed a blazing inferno that enshrouded his dharma body within.

Every strand of sword energy that fell into that domain of flame was swallowed without a trace.

"A domain of fire?" frowned.

Myriad Swords in Torrent was a technique he had only practiced for a relatively short time. His comprehension of it was still stuck at the stage of being powerful but diffuse.

In other words, he could already unleash its effect, but he could not fully concentrate that power into a single point or a single line of attack.

This made it an excellent technique against large numbers of opponents, but against a far more powerful foe, it fell somewhat short.

Of course, this was only because his mastery of the technique was still in its infancy.

If one truly brought it to perfection, any move within the Five Thunders Divine Voice Sword could be deployed effortlessly, each one capable of delivering a killing blow.

"Hmph! This kind of attack is only good against half-step Sovereign warriors. Against those of us who truly wield the power of a domain, it's utterly useless."

A cold smirk tugged at the corner of 's mouth as he shot forward with terrifying speed.

The massive wall of flame still surrounded him, and in his right hand, a sinister war blade materialized—a blade that glowed with a blood-red sheen.

The moment this blade was drawn, a savage bloodlust surged outward in all directions, as though a rift had opened in the eighteenth level of hell. A horrifying aura of Asura slaughter roiled forth.

"What a fearsome weapon!" The terrifying killing aura swept over him, seemingly capable of penetrating one's very soul and sea of consciousness. Fortunately, had cultivated the Heart of Rock. Though his Dao heart trembled slightly upon feeling that malevolent energy crash against him, no real damage was done.

"Boy, taste my blade!"

let out an eerie laugh, his voice grating like metal scraping against a wall, unbearably harsh to the ears.

His arm twitched almost casually, and the stroke was not wide or sweeping. Yet this seemingly simple slash reached in the blink of an eye.

The speed was blinding, the technique deceptively simple—both had been refined to the level of the transcendent.
