# Chapter 1234: Wen Tian Ge Battles Wutian
"Hum!" A wave of intense and terrifying fluctuating power rolled out. On the arc-shaped battle platform, it seemed as though a curtain of light was falling. This curtain of light was transparent, but the crowd could easily sense the terrifying fluctuations within it.
At this moment, the area around the enormous arc-shaped battle platform was already packed with people. The Old Master of the Wen family stood on a high vantage point, his face beaming with radiance.
"Today, the Wen family's battle platform is rarely opened. All heroes, anyone who wishes to come up and try is welcome. However, today is this old man's birthday, so I ask everyone to remember to give this old man face. Settle victory and defeat, but do not take lives."
Old Master Wen's voice was resonant, ringing like a great bell in everyone's ears. The crowd naturally understood. On Old Master Wen's birthday, who would dare to kill someone in the Wen residence? It was clearly impossible.
"Hum!" At that moment, a figure soared into the air. His entire body exuded a wild and domineering aura, as if he were lawless and heaven-defying. He stood proudly in the void and stepped onto the battle platform. This person was none other than Wutian of Purgatory.
"Wen Tian Ge, come out and fight!" Wutian's gaze fell on Wen Tian Ge. His eyes were extremely sharp, carrying a faint trace of evil aura. His battle intent soared to the heavens, as if he wanted to contend for supremacy over heaven and earth.
When he saw the Prophet in the City of Fate, the Prophet had said that his path of slaughter might not be comparable to Wen Tian Ge's. To Wutian, who was known as the Slaughterer, this was an utter humiliation, something he held a grudge over. Today, he would shatter the Prophet's prophecy, soar to the heavens from here, and prove his Dao through slaughter. No one could stop his footsteps. Wen Tian Ge was merely a stepping stone on the path of slaughter, unable to block him.
A figure in white robes shot into the sky. His long robe fluttered, elegant and unrestrained. The Wen family had a son, one who slaughtered and questioned the heavens!
Arriving at the battle platform, Wen Tian Ge met Wutian's gaze with proud eyes. They had completely different temperaments but the same goal: to defeat the other and prove their Dao through slaughter. No one could stop them. Those who could be called prodigies naturally had unyielding pride, unwilling to fall behind anyone. Thus, Wutian of Purgatory had traveled thousands of miles just to challenge Wen Tian Ge, stepping on him to move forward. And Wen Tian Ge, who slaughtered and questioned the heavens, how could he be afraid!
The two stood proudly, as if an invisible gale was ravaging the void. The transparent curtain of light closed, sealing the battle platform. No matter how violent their battle became, it would not affect the crowd, so they could watch with peace of mind. And they, in turn, could fight without restraint.
Before they moved, killing intent preceded them. Both Wutian and Wen Tian Ge emitted a terrifying aura of slaughter. Behind Wutian, it seemed as though a blood demon, formed from endless white bones, was taking shape. But the feeling Wen Tian Ge gave people was that of a god of slaughter, a white-robed god of slaughter.
A sword appeared. Three feet of azure blade, pure white as snow. As the sword emerged, Wen Tian Ge's temperament seemed to change. He was no longer calm and carefree, no longer unrestrained and handsome. On his body and face, there was only the aura of slaughter. Slaughter, Wen Tian Ge.
The intent of slaughter spread wildly. After a long time, the two finally moved. But the crowd only saw two afterimages, a blood-red afterimage and a white shadow, moving at an inconceivable speed.
"Boom!" Endless blood light and white radiance ravaged the void. The two came together. In just an instant, many could not see how many attacks Wutian had launched, nor how many sword strikes Wen Tian Ge had made. They only saw terrifying shadows in the void, constantly being torn apart, yet remaining unharmed. The crowd knew that what was constantly being torn apart were merely afterimages.
"Speed Essence, both focused on slaughter. Both have comprehended Speed Essence. Whether it's body speed or attack speed, it's incredibly fast. If I were facing them, could I handle it?" Lin Feng watched the battle and naturally put himself in their place, as if he were facing Wen Tian Ge or Wutian.
Wen Tian Ge and Wutian, who proved their Dao through slaughter, were terrifyingly fast. Moreover, their attacks were condensed and not dispersed, with terrifying power. This kind of battle was extremely dangerous. Whoever was slightly weaker could very well be killed on the spot. Victory and defeat were entirely determined in a single thought. Even though the two had terrifying control, if victory and defeat were decided in such a situation, someone would inevitably be severely injured.
"Boom, crack!" A violent collision sound rolled out. The two separated for the first time. Although the transparent curtain of light could block attacks, it did not block sound. The terrifying airwaves stirred up by their battle made people's hearts tremble.
"Chi, chi..." The void seemed to be torn apart. Between the two, at the point of collision, white radiance and blood light suddenly appeared, tearing through the void, crisscrossing.
"If I were there, I would have been torn apart already." Many low-level Venerables sighed. The speed of slaughter was too terrifying. With a single tremor of his sword, Wen Tian Ge had unleashed countless slaughter sword beams.
"Purgatory Blood Slaughter!" Wutian spat out a cold voice. Then, his body was filled with destructive blood radiance, surging toward Wen Tian Ge. His body constantly shifted positions. Soon, the crowd saw Wen Tian Ge as if he were trapped in an endless, terrifying purgatory. Ghosts wailed and wolves howled. Blood light annihilated the sky. The aura of destruction surged toward Wen Tian Ge, who was surrounded in the middle, filled with incomparably terrifying Destruction Essence. Eroded by this purgatory, Wen Tian Ge would surely die.
Wen Tian Ge held his sword. At this moment, he seemed to merge with the sword. Traces of slaughter aura spread out. His body moved, charging toward the purgatory. His long sword trembled, as if countless forces of slaughter were constantly tearing apart the purgatory blood light. Even the incomparably terrifying purgatory had to be torn open.
Chi chi sounds rang out. The purgatory seemed to be torn open. Wutian stepped into the purgatory, like a demon king of destruction, holding a purgatory demon lock. "Purgatory of Destruction, who can escape!"
"Boom!" Terrifying purgatory destruction light wildly surged toward Wen Tian Ge, endless and infinite. True purgatory blood slaughter, no one could escape. Even if thousands of people fell into it, they would all be annihilated. Here was purgatory, and he, Wutian, was the lord of purgatory, the true purgatory demon king.
"He is integrating his Essence power into his purgatory, destroying everything. When Wutian steps into the Venerable Lord realm, he will become a true slaughterer. No matter how many people there are, they won't be enough for his purgatory to refine and slaughter." Beside Old Master Wen, the Purple-Eyed Venerable said in a low voice. That purgatory was the terrifying divine ability power of the King of Assassins, the power of a domain. Clearly, this Wutian had cultivated a terrifying technique and possessed a domain!
"Although Wutian's strength is formidable, his slaughter power is still far from that of the King of Assassins. He even relies on domain power and Destruction Blood Essence. Tian Ge does better than Wutian in this regard." Old Master Wen said in a low voice, seemingly not at all worried about Wen Tian Ge, who was trapped in the purgatory.
At this moment, Wen Tian Ge's sword moved again. His figure seemed to turn into a white beam. The crowd could no longer even see Wen Tian Ge himself, only traces of sword light cutting through the purgatory. The dazzling white sword light was startling, spanning across the purgatory, as if that sword light was a sword itself, never disappearing.
"Chi, chi..." Terrifying tearing sounds rang out. More and more sword light appeared, making everyone's hearts clench tightly. How terrifying! Wen Tian Ge was no longer visible, only his sword tearing apart the purgatory!
"Slaughter Essence has actually condensed into form, lasting endlessly. And that is..." Some Venerables were shocked in their hearts. Wen Tian Ge had disappeared, only the sword moving. Was this the power that the low-key Wen family had always concealed?
Space. It must be related to Space Essence. Many people wondered. The Wen family resided in Sky-Gazing Ancient City. How could they not cultivate Space Essence? Wen Tian Ge's current method was undoubtedly declaring to the crowd that the Wen family was no longer keeping a low profile.
Wutian of Purgatory frantically used his Destruction Blood Essence power, but he could not destroy Wen Tian Ge or his sword. Within the purgatory domain, there was endless white radiance.
"Si, si..." Tearing sounds rang out. Then, the crowd saw the purgatory domain being torn apart, as if it had shattered into countless pieces, completely collapsing. But those slaughter sword beams remained. Light flickered in the void. An extremely sharp sword beam swept past Wutian's side. Wutian's expression froze. He suddenly retreated. But then another beam of light flashed on his other side, causing his expression to stiffen.
Wen Tian Ge appeared again, but he left only shadows for the crowd. Chi chi sounds continued. In the void, dazzling white slaughter Essence appeared. When Wen Tian Ge's figure solidified again, the crowd saw that where Wutian stood, an enormous, three-dimensional character for "slaughter" had appeared, enveloping Wutian within it, radiating endless slaughter power.
Wutian had no way to dodge. He was right in the center of that enormous slaughter character. When the Slaughter Essence bloomed, it would tear apart everything in that space.
"You're not the only one who possesses the power of comprehension. Don't forget, I am also at the Venerable Martial Realm!" Dressed in white, Wen Tian Ge sheathed his sword and stood proudly. Victory and defeat were decided!
"Wen Tian Ge of the Wen family, you are stronger than everyone imagined. Among the Ten Great Prodigies, perhaps you can enter the top three!" Wutian sighed. He had lost. In the battle of prodigies, he had been defeated.
"Top three? Wen Tian Ge is that terrifying?" The crowd's hearts trembled. But Wen Tian Ge remained calm. He waved his hand, and the Slaughter Essence disappeared. His control was so terrifying.
The curtain of light on the battle platform opened. This battle was over.
"What does defeat matter? Your strength only drives me forward. A powerful opponent makes my blood boil. Next time we meet, we'll fight again!" Wutian's dejection suddenly vanished. His back seemed to straighten again. He stamped his foot, and his body soared into the air, his pride reaching the clouds.
"Wen Tian Ge, wait for me to fight again!" As his voice fell, a gale swept past. Wutian of Purgatory departed. But defeat did not make him dejected; instead, it ignited his fighting spirit.
"I'll wait for you!" Wen Tian Ge watched Wutian's disappearing back, his gaze sharp. He would never think that one victory meant eternal victory. Who knew what would happen in the future? In martial arts, one could not afford the slightest slack or stagnation. He had to constantly grow stronger to avoid being surpassed. He was certain that the next time Wutian appeared before him, he would be even more terrifying. But how could he, Wen Tian Ge, waste his time!
