462: Evenly matched

"Exhilarating! Again!"

Mo Yu's Battle Intent surged even higher as monstrous flames swept out from his body!

Qilin True Fire!

"Ten Thousand Fires Burning the Heavens!"

Mo Yu roared, and the sky-filling Qilin True Fire transformed into a dark-gold sea of fire covering nearly half the arena.

Within the sea of fire, nine Qilin True Fire Orbs, compressed to the extreme and resembling miniature suns, drifted up and down, locking onto Wang Zhan and ready to strike!

The temperature was so high that even the distant observers felt their mouths go dry and their hair curl!

Wang Zhan did not dare to be careless. With a low shout, the Void Realm behind him vibrated, and layered phantoms of the vast and boundless Nine Heavens appeared, radiating a supreme Concept that suppressed all things and governed all Laws!

The Nine Heavens cast down curtains of azure light, shielding him within as they violently collided with the Qilin True Fire that could burn the heavens and boil the seas!

"Chi chi chi—!"

The True Fire scorched the light curtains, making heart-stopping sounds; the curtains rippled violently but held firm.

"Explode!" Mo Yu's gaze sharpened, and the nine Qilin True Fire Orbs shot toward the Nine Heavens phenomenon like meteors, exploding with a bang!

"Boom boom boom...!"

Nine destructive fireballs erupted in succession, and a terrifying energy storm instantly swallowed the area where Wang Zhan stood!

The phantoms of the Nine Heavens flickered wildly, dimming and brightening as if they might collapse at any moment!

"Delusion Shattering!"

From the center of this destructive storm, a calm low shout rang out, piercing through all the roaring!

An extremely condensed azure fist seal, seemingly able to pierce through the Origin of all delusions, tore out directly from the center of the explosion like the light of dawn!

The Fist Intent was pure, aimed straight at Mo Yu's true body! The Delusion Shattering Fist was specialized in breaking all Laws and striking the core!

Alarm bells rang in Mo Yu's heart; he hadn't expected Wang Zhan to be able to counterattack under such a violent assault!

He hurriedly crossed his arms, his Qilin scales glowing brilliantly as he withstood the punch head-on!

"Bang!"

Mo Yu was shaken back, stumbling as the scales on his arms shattered, leaking pale gold blood.

"Take another move from me! Heaven's Collapse!"

Wang Zhan pressed his advantage, stepping out from the dissipating sea of fire and turning into an all-sweeping azure torrent, like the entire sky collapsing, crushing toward Mo Yu!

Unavoidable, unstoppable!

Facing this disaster-like offensive, a look of madness flashed in Mo Yu's eyes; he knew he could no longer hold back!

"kirin dharma body, appear!"

He roared to the sky as his body expanded violently, and the Void Realm behind him twisted. A mountain-sized, incredibly solid Mo Yu kirin dharma body suddenly appeared!

The dharma body stepped on auspicious clouds, its scales cold and stern, breathing out True Fire from its mouth and nose, exuding the supreme majesty of an ancient emperor!

"True Fire Purgatory!"

The dharma body's massive mouth opened, and what it spat out was no longer ordinary True Fire, but an ultimate flame, dark red bordering on black, containing the Origin of the Law of Destruction!

Wherever the flames passed, space twisted and collapsed, turning into a true purgatory to meet the collapsing heavens!

"Rumble—!!!"

The Heaven's Collapse torrent and the True Fire Purgatory collided once more!

This explosion far surpassed all previous ones!

The entire Cloud Sea Platform shook violently, the protective Formation making ear-piercing cracking sounds, and fine cracks actually appeared on the light barrier!

A destructive energy storm, mixing azure airflow and dark red flames, swept wildly in all directions!

"Not good!"

Lu Chenzhou, Si Chen, and Gu Yueting, who were at the forefront, saw their expressions turn incredibly grave in an instant.

Stepping forward simultaneously, they joined forces to strike out a thick wave of spiritual power, reinforcing the tottering Formation barrier and barely managing to neutralize the dissipating force.

The three of them exchanged looks, each seeing deep shock in the others' eyes.

These were the top Prodigies from the outside world; was their strength actually this terrifying?!

Just the aftershocks of the collision required the three of them to join forces to withstand?

The storm gradually subsided, revealing a truly tragic scene in the arena.

Mo Yu's kirin dharma body had dimmed significantly; blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, showing he had clearly exhausted himself greatly.

Wang Zhan's breathing was also ragged, his blood and Qi churning, and the Nine Heavens phenomenon had already dissipated.

"Wang Zhan! One move to decide the winner!"

Mo Yu hissed, crimson-gold blood flames burning around his body as the kirin dharma body behind him let out a mournful cry and began to merge with his true body!

Mo Yu's figure expanded and transformed rapidly within the brilliant blood light!

As the light faded, a magnificent and lifelike Mo Yu Qilin True Body stood proudly in the arena!

Qilin True Body, appear!

Its front hooves, burning with blood flames, carried a supreme will capable of shattering stars and slaughtering gods and demons.

It stomped down violently toward Wang Zhan!

This stomp seemed to condense his entire life's power, unyielding Battle Intent, and even the glory of his Bloodline!

At the same time, Wang Zhan's buildup had also reached its peak!

"Dao Judgment!"

Wang Zhan uttered only two cold words and pointed forward with his fingers!

One side was the extreme power of savage dominance, carrying the might to incinerate the world!

The other side was the mysterious and unpredictable judgment of Laws, performing the act of severance and annihilation!

At the moment the two were about to collide, time seemed to freeze!

The hearts of all the observers stopped beating as they stared wide-eyed, fixed on the point that was about to decide the outcome!

An indescribable ripple of destruction suddenly spread out, centered on the point of contact!

Wherever this ripple passed, space shattered inch by inch like a mirror, revealing the pitch-black void behind it!

The protective Formation of the Cloud Sea Platform couldn't block it for even a second, annihilating silently like a bubble!

"Not good! Retreat quickly!"

"Join forces!"

The expressions of Lu Chenzhou and the other two changed drastically; no longer caring about appearances, they simultaneously spat out a mouthful of life Origin Qi, which turned into three brilliant pillars of light injected into the Formation.

Several other of the strongest senior students also immediately stepped in to help. With more than ten people joining forces, they barely managed to restrain the dissipating destructive energy within a certain range, but every face was filled with horror!

The destructive power of these two had completely exceeded the scope of the ordinary Saint Realm!

Was this the duel between the world's strongest Prodigies?

"Rumble—!!!"

The ripples of destruction slammed violently into the defense set up by everyone! The defensive light barrier twisted violently, flickering uncertainly!

Lu Chenzhou and the others standing at the very front groaned in unison, blood seeping from their mouths and their bodies swaying, but they ultimately managed to withstand the terrifying shockwave!

And at the center of the explosion, the scene was even more tragic!

"Crack! Crack crack!"

Heart-stopping sounds of bones cracking rang out!

Mo Yu let out a painful roar as one front leg of his Qilin True Body was forcefully severed more than halfway by the finger light of the Dao Judgment!

Pale gold Qilin Emperor Blood fell like a waterfall, each drop containing majestic essence and burning deep pits into the ground!

But Wang Zhan was also far from well!

Although Dao Judgment was sharp, it could not completely offset the massive destructive force contained in Mo Yu's final stomp!

The remaining power was like billions of volcanoes erupting simultaneously, slamming violently into him!

Wang Zhan was struck as if by lightning, flying backward like a kite with a broken string; his surrounding azure blood and Qi instantly dimmed, and his chest caved in!

The dust and smoke slowly cleared, revealing a battlefield riddled with scars.

In the center of the Cloud Sea Platform, a massive, shocking pit was visible, its edges covered in spiderweb-like cracks that stretched into the distance.

The protective Formation was completely shattered; had everyone not joined forces to resist at the last moment, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

In the arena, both were heavily injured and unable to fight further.

Everyone was shocked into silence by this duel, which was tragic to the extreme yet also magnificent to the extreme.

A draw!

Both sides suffered losses!

Truly evenly matched!
