305: Chapter 305 What a formidable War Asura!

A hundred miles outside the desolate valley, atop a cloud-shrouded mountain peak.

Xing Lan, clad in a simple grey robe, stood silently amidst the clouds, seemingly merging with the surrounding heaven and earth.

His gaze was fixed intently on the earth-shattering duel a hundred miles away in the desolate valley.

From Xiao Ruobai's sudden burst of Peak Celestial Realm cultivation, to his bare-handed confrontation with the Imperial Scripture buddhist weapon, and finally to the overbearing and tragic War God Slaughtering the World that decided the battle with a single punch... every detail fell precisely into his deep, star-sea-like eyes.

When Xiao Ruobai finally shattered the Reincarnation Millstone with a single punch, breaking Fakong's golden body and shattering his Buddhist heart, Xing Lan's hand, holding a compass, paused almost imperceptibly.

A faint ripple appeared in the ethereal and transcendent aura around him, which seemed to calculate all heavenly secrets.

For the first time, his eyes, which reflected the trajectories of the stars, revealed an undisguised shock and solemnity.

"Such combat power can no longer be described merely as stunning. This defies common sense and overturns all understanding."

Xing Lan's pupils contracted slightly.

Although he had previously found the Battle Asura mysterious and assessed his potential as extremely high, due to his cultivation still being in the Heavenly Human Realm and his elusive whereabouts, he had ranked him after Wang Zhan and several other King Realm Prodigies who were already renowned throughout the world in his internal ranking of Prodigies.

But at this moment, this battle completely overturned his judgment!

"Overthrowing a Late Stage King Realm Buddhist Son with a Heavenly Human Realm cultivation, the battle record is true. His profound Foundation, the purity of his Battle Intent, and the exquisite control of his power all far surpass his peers, and he has even touched the forbidden Domain of breaking laws with force."

Xing Lan's thoughts raced, rapidly deducing.

"Wang Zhan, with the potential of a Great Emperor, possesses unmatched sharpness, but his battle records are mostly against opponents of the same realm or crushing victories, lacking such Heaven-Defying empirical evidence."

"The Jiang Family's Divine King Body, with an ancestral Bloodline, possesses monstrous Divine Power, and in his battle with Shi Man, he did not exert his full strength."

"Ji Xuanye is unfathomable, imbued with Imperial Dragon Qi, but his battle with Fakong was meant as a test; the outcome was undecided, making it difficult to estimate his limits."

"Only this Battle Asura, with the invincible posture and Heaven-Defying combat power displayed in this battle, has surpassed all currently prominent Prodigies! He is the number one of this generation!"

He arrived at this conclusion, one that even he found somewhat startling.

"The waters of the Eastern Regions are deeper than Revered Master deduced. Such a variable has completely stirred the heavenly secrets.

The Golden Age, the struggle for the Imperial Path, it seems, is not merely a superposition of Luck, but a true emergence of Dragons and Serpents, with Prodigies appearing in droves."

He finally cast a deep glance in the direction Xiao Ruobai had departed, and his figure slowly dissipated into the clouds, as if he had never appeared.

Only a trace of lingering, solemn starlight in the air testified to a violent tremor within someone's heart.

The Eastern Regions, undercurrents surged.

The news that the Battle Asura had bare-handedly overthrown the Buddhist Son of the Western Regions, nearly shattering his Buddhist heart, swept through the minds of everyone who heard it like a silent tsunami. The battle record itself was enough to explain everything.

For a time, all Prodigies' attention focused on the name Battle Asura, but their emotions were complex and difficult to describe.

It was a silence in the face of an absolute disparity in strength.

Overthrowing a Late Stage King Realm opponent, and one as top-tier as Fakong, such a battle record stood like a solitary peak rising from nowhere, making most of the younger generation feel suffocated even at the thought of looking up.

To live in the same era as such a figure was both fortunate, to witness a legend, and unfortunate, as an insurmountable name seemed to have been carved onto the Imperial Path in advance.

Beneath this immense shock and silence, the younger generation's gaze involuntarily began to turn towards another upcoming Peak, one that seemed more potentially reachable.

The battle between Wang Zhan of the Archaic Royal Family and the Qilin Son of the Southern Region Demon Clan at the Old Site of the Demon Heaven Sect!

The Battle Asura's combat power was Heaven-Defying, while Wang Zhan and the Qilin Son were like two great stars about to collide, their brilliance equally dazzling.

Their outcome was still unknown, and their contention represented the Dragon-Tiger Battle that ignited passion and expectation in this era!

The entire Eastern Region's anticipation thus quietly converged.

The Demon Heaven Sect ruins several days later were destined to attract all eyes... Eastern Regions, Peak of a solitary mountain.

Wang Zhan stood with his hands behind his back at the edge of the cliff, his dark battle robe unmoving in the fierce wind.

He had just finished comprehending a battle technique; the Evil Qi swirling around him had not yet fully retracted, and his aura was even deeper and more terrifying than before.

A follower, moving like lightning, swept onto the Peak, respectfully kneeling on one knee, his voice filled with uncontrollable excitement.

"Young Lord! There's news! News of that Battle Asura!"

Wang Zhan suddenly turned, and a terrifying glint instantly erupted from his eyes, sharp as heavenly blades. The immense Battle Intent, previously restrained around him, rippled slightly, causing the surrounding Void Realm to undulate.

"He finally reappeared?"

Wang Zhan's voice was low, with a hint of imperceptible urgency, "Speak, what news?"

"Reporting, Young Lord!"

The follower took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and spoke rapidly: "Just yesterday, in the Northwest Desolate Valley, the Battle Asura encountered the Buddhist Son of the Western Regions, Fakong!

A great battle erupted between them. Fakong used the Imperial Scripture ultimate technique, 'Great Sun Tathagata Seal,' and even unleashed his buddhist weapon, the Demon Subduing Pestle!"

Wang Zhan's eyes narrowed slightly: "Fakong? That bald monk from the Western Regions, his strength is decent enough. What was the result?"

"The result..." The follower's voice trembled with extreme shock.

"That Battle Asura bare-handedly confronted the Imperial Scripture buddhist weapon, and with his Peak Celestial Realm cultivation, he utterly shattered Fakong's Tathagata Dharma Idol and broke his buddhist weapon!

Fakong's golden body was broken, and his Buddhist heart nearly shattered. If his Dao Protector hadn't used a secret technique to forcibly save him at the last moment, he would have been killed on the spot!"

"What?!"

Even with Wang Zhan's composure, his pupils suddenly constricted at this moment!

The terrifying and suppressed Battle Intent around him could no longer be controlled, surging skyward with a roar, instantly tearing a huge hole in the churning sea of clouds above, as if it were solid!

"Bare-handedly confronting an Imperial Scripture buddhist weapon and cross-realm overthrowing, beating Fakong to the brink of death?"

Wang Zhan repeated these key phrases in a low voice, each word seemingly carrying immense weight.

The calm on his face completely vanished, and from his eyes, sharp as heavenly blades, an unprecedented brilliant light suddenly erupted, followed by a torrent of scorching Battle Intent, like a volcanic eruption!

"Good! What a Battle Asura!"

His voice suddenly rose, filled with uncontrollable excitement and ecstasy.

"I thought he was already stunning enough, but I didn't expect that I still underestimated him!"

Although he had previously valued the Battle Asura, he mostly regarded him as a future opponent with great potential who needed to be surpassed.

After all, in his eyes, there was an insurmountable chasm between the Heavenly Human Realm and the King Realm.

He had even thought that the other party was ultimately lacking and would only be qualified to fight him after breaking through to the King Realm.

But at this moment, this earth-shattering battle record completely overturned his understanding!

Fakong was not an ordinary King Realm cultivator; he was the Buddhist Son of the Western Regions, bearing an Imperial Scripture. Wang Zhan knew his strength.

To defeat him bare-handedly, this was no longer a simple cross-level challenge; this was Heaven-Defying!
