Chapter 539: Living Fossil
The training ground, built from massive cliff stones, was etched with the marks of time, ancient and mottled, where many Saint Lord-rank figures had fallen.
The blood of peerless experts had long since dried, their bones and bodies gone without a trace, yet a fierce killing intent permeated the air. It was a true ancient battlefield.
This old man moved like a specter, silent and soundless, pressing a palm forward as if a ghostly lord had descended upon the world, bringing with it gusts of yin wind and a heavy, deathly stillness.
Peacock King felt a chill run through his body, sensing the danger. He shot sideways for over a thousand zhang, narrowly dodging the strike in the nick of time.
"Slap"
The old man’s move was light and casual, seemingly unremarkable, yet his palm imprinted a black hole into the void. It did not dissipate but remained fixed there, devouring everything.
"Bang"
He struck again, like a ghostly shadow, incredibly yin and soft, moving through the void. A sinister wind howled, ghostly qi dense, but the killing power was immense.
Peacock King roared, his entire being surging with vital energy. He was like a divine furnace, radiating light for ten thousand zhang, his blood energy churning like a vast ocean.
"Boom!"
He swung his fists with force, unleashing nine savage dragons, each carrying a golden sun, bursting forth to clash with the yin-soft energy.
"Rip"
When the ultimate yang met the ultimate yin, the space between them silently became a realm of light and darkness. A terrifying collapse began, spontaneously generating the sacred force of the Sun and the sacred force of the Moon.
"Thud!"
A thunderous sound erupted in the training ground. A terrifying radiance exploded there, engulfing both combatants, creating a scene of great destruction.
The sacred force of the Moon and the sacred force of the Sun, though they appeared only for a fleeting moment, were terrifying to the extreme. Their collision annihilated all things.
"Heh"
The old man from Yaoguang emerged like a ghost, a wisp of black blood trickling from the corner of his mouth as he rapidly retreated.
At the same time, Peacock King coughed up a mouthful of blood, his hair flying wildly. Like a demon god, he broke free from the shackles of the Sun and Moon forces, charging out of the zone of destruction.
With just the first strike, both were already injured. Clearly, they wanted to end the battle quickly, both employing lethal killing moves.
From the very start, it was a fight to the death, with no room for retreat. Neither would rest until the other was dead, and only one could leave alive.
"Whoosh"
The living fossil from Yaoguang attacked again. His palms and fingers were earth-yellow, falling like yellow mud. He did not use any shocking sacred art, merely pressing forward with a plain motion.
Yet Peacock King felt a chill in his heart. This old man, at his current level, had long since returned to simplicity. That ordinary palm strike contained the lethal sacred art of Yaoguang.
It was the terrifying Yellow Mud Hand. No matter your path, it stirred the same intent, seeking to decide victory in an instant.
"Boom!"
The living fossil from Yaoguang, Wang Zheng, his withered body erupted with ten thousand zhang of radiance, sweeping across the entire training ground like a golden sacred spirit.
In that moment, he was overwhelmingly powerful. His physical form brimmed with endless life force, his blood energy like a sea. The Chaotic Sacred Light covered the sky and earth, incomparably terrifying!
"Boom!"
The boundless sacred light, within the void, coalesced into a golden ancient cauldron, densely covered with dragon patterns, suppressing the great world!
"He... he actually used the Chaotic Sacred Light Art to evolve the form and partial laws of Yaoguang's Dragon-Pattern Blackgold Sacred Cauldron!"
Everyone exclaimed in shock, their faces changing color. They had an illusion, sensing a trace of extreme imperial might.
Red Dragon Daoist let out a long roar, his hair flying wildly, his eyes sharp as blades. As if he had eight arms, he unleashed eight types of hand seals in an instant.
"What! This is the Heavenly Demon Eight Forms, the oldest and most terrifying supreme inheritance of the demon clan, and he actually combined them into one strike!"
The crowd was stunned, their hearts shaken, their bodies icy cold, nearly suffocating.
The Heavenly Demon Eight Forms merged into one. Red Dragon Daoist evolved a red dragon in the void, incredibly real, exuding an ancient, desolate aura, the dragon’s pressure surging.
This ancient battlefield was on the verge of collapse!
If not for the Immortal Tear Green Gold Tower of Yao Chi protecting the area, flowing with a trace of true extreme divine might, the training ground would have long ceased to exist.
"Friend!"
The two living fossils clashed, unleashing their strongest attacks, deciding life and death!
Black holes appeared in clusters, as if giving birth to universes, containing starlight within, as if creating heaven and earth. The aura of destruction and regeneration surged like tides.
A moment of eternity!
It felt like a long hundred lifetimes had passed, yet also like only an instant had gone by. Time was eternal, impossible to distinguish.
"Pfft"
Red Dragon Daoist spat out a large mouthful of blood, flying backward from the void black hole. His entire body was cracked, on the verge of falling.
"Pfft"
On the other side, the eyes of Yaoguang's living fossil dimmed. His skull split open, brain matter spilling out. His torso separated, broken and tattered.
Blood stained the sky red. His flesh became bloody mud, his bones shattered into white fragments. He was killed on the spot by Red Dragon Daoist.
