796: Chapter 797 Dual Clash
"Your courage is commendable. But, that is all."
Gu Shitian's voice was calm, revealing neither joy nor anger.
He did not unleash any earth-shattering Aura, but an indescribable, profound pressure quietly permeated the surroundings, as if wherever he stood was the center of the world and the source of all laws.
He also took a step forward, his figure appearing on the Dao Discussion Platform, standing opposite Ling Xi from afar.
His robes fluttered without wind, and fine, indistinguishable ancient runes flashed and vanished around his body.
"Since you have ascended the platform, let us begin."
He said indifferently, his tone as casual as if he were discussing a trivial matter.
Two supreme Dao Discussion Platforms, two Peak duels—they began almost simultaneously!
The frenzy that had just swept through the entire Pure Land due to Sword White Robe had not yet fully subsided before these two even more explosive and frantic challenges ignited it completely!
Everyone's breath hitched, their gazes locked tightly onto the figures on the two platforms, their hearts involuntarily tightening.
On the left platform, Xiao Ruobai faced Ao Zhan.
On the right platform, Ling Xi faced Gu Shitian.
Would they continue the Heaven-Defying, monster-like miracle of Sword White Robe, or would they be crushed by the absolute strength of the top of the rankings and the Son of God, thereby proving their own worth?
"Roar—!!"
Ao Zhan moved first; he clearly did not intend to give Xiao Ruobai any chance to catch his breath or prepare.
Since the other party dared to challenge, he must bear all the consequences of challenging the top of the rankings!
A tyrannical, peerless dragon roar shook the Void Realm, and golden light flared intensely around Ao Zhan, as if a golden sun were rising slowly above the Dao Discussion Platform.
The terrifying Dragon might was no longer just an Aura; it had transformed into a tangible golden torrent, carrying the will to crush everything and tear apart all things, pouring down toward Xiao Ruobai!
This shockwave of Dragon might alone made countless Prodigies off the platform turn pale, their Divine Souls trembling as if they were facing a truly awakened Primordial Vicious Beast!
"Ao Zhan is getting serious! He's using the might of a True Dragon to crush his opponent right from the start!"
"That Battle Asura will likely find it difficult to even get close!"
Just as the golden torrent of Dragon might was about to engulf Xiao Ruobai, a more violent, fierce, and pure radiance erupted from his body!
"Fight!"
Xiao Ruobai spat out only one word, simple, direct, and violent!
His dark golden Battle Intent boiled, and instead of retreating, he stepped forward, meeting the monstrous torrent of Dragon might head-on!
Rumble!
Two wills, equally tyrannical and peerless, collided violently!
The two lights crazily intertwined, eroded, and exploded, emitting a deafening roar!
The light barrier of the entire Dao Discussion Platform flickered wildly, bearing the terrifying pressure.
The scene everyone expected, where Xiao Ruobai would be instantly crushed, did not happen.
That Battle Intent was like the sturdiest Divine Iron, yet also like the most violent raging waves, tearing a gap in the golden Dragon might and holding its ground!
"What?!" Exclamations arose from below the platform again.
A golden light flashed in Ao Zhan's eyes; his playful expression faded slightly, replaced by a touch of seriousness:
"Interesting. This Battle Intent of yours is not just for show. Unfortunately..."
Before he finished speaking, his figure had vanished from where he stood.
The next moment, a fist covered in fine golden Dragon scales and wreathed in supreme Dragon power appeared out of thin air in front of Xiao Ruobai's face, as if it had traversed space!
A punch that was simple, direct, and tyrannical to the extreme! It abandoned all flair, leaving only absolute power and speed!
Almost at the same time Ao Zhan vanished, blood-red light surged in Xiao Ruobai's eyes; he did not dodge or evade, but also threw a punch!
His fist was not covered in Dragon scales, but it shimmered with a heart-palpitating dark golden luster.
As if soaked in the blood of countless strong enemies, a Battle Qi that sought to slaughter gods and demons, never dying and never ceasing, rushed forward!
Bang—!!!
The fists collided, like two Primordial Divine Mountains slamming into each other in the most violent manner!
A visible, terrifying shockwave, carrying turbulent golden and blood-red energy, exploded outward.
It frantically scoured the light barrier of the Dao Discussion Platform, causing the barrier to twist violently and emit groans of being unable to bear the load!
The two figures separated upon contact, each sliding backward several steps, leaving deep gullies on the surface of the Dao Discussion Platform beneath their feet.
A draw!
No, it seemed that Xiao Ruobai had taken half a step less than Ao Zhan!
In an instant, countless gazes across the entire Pure Land were locked onto that blood-red figure on the Dao Discussion Platform, filled with incomparable shock and absurdity.
To clash head-on with the Physical Body of a True Dragon, to take a punch from Ao Zhan directly, and not concede a single step?
Is... is this even human?!
Ao Zhan slowly withdrew his fist, looking down at the faint red mark on his knuckles, which was almost imperceptible and was being rapidly healed by his Dragon power.
The playfulness in his eyes completely vanished, replaced by a blazing Battle Intent that burned like molten gold!
"Good! Good! What a Battle Asura!" Ao Zhan's voice carried a strange excitement.
"It seems that I, this Crown Prince, will be able to fight to my heart's content today!"
On the other side, the battle between Ling Xi and Gu Shitian was making Gu Shitian's blood boil with anger.
The Devouring Dao Rhyme around Ling Xi was like a layer of endlessly flowing mist, faintly shrouding her body.
Gu Shitian unleashed waves of Glazed Divine Radiance; fist imprints, finger winds, Divine Runes, and Dao Principles—his offensive was like an endless Divine Mountain, continuously pressing down.
Yet, every single one of Gu Shitian's attacks, the moment it neared within three feet of Ling Xi, would be entangled, disintegrated, and dissolved by an invisible Devouring Dao Rhyme!
The power diminished layer by layer, the Aura constantly dropped, and by the time it actually landed on Ling Xi, less than thirty percent remained!
Relying on the Devouring Great Dao, Ling Xi casually dissolved Gu Shitian's offensive, which was said to be capable of suppressing his peers, into nothingness.
Gu Shitian's attacks became increasingly fierce, and his Divine Power grew stronger, but no matter the might, once it touched that Devouring Dao Rhyme, it was like a clay ox entering the sea—dissolving without a sound.
"I didn't expect that among our generation, someone could actually Cultivate the Devouring Great Dao to this extent."
Gu Shitian's tone turned cold, and the Glazed Divine Radiance around his body tightened slowly.
He was a dignified Son of God; with a single punch, his Divine Power could collapse stars and shatter moons.
Yet at this moment, that vast Divine Power, capable of crushing all things, landed on Ling Xi and didn't even stir the slightest ripple.
The feeling was like throwing a Primordial Divine Mountain into a bottomless abyss—having strength with nowhere to use it, and hatred with nowhere to vent it.
"Good, very good!"
Gu Shitian laughed in extreme anger, cold light flashing in his eyes, and the originally gentle Glazed Divine Radiance around him instantly became violent and blazing, as if it would ignite the entire Dao Discussion Platform!
"Since you only know how to devour, then I will make you unable to devour anything! I will make you devour until you burst!"
"Glazed God-Extinguishing Seal!"
He pressed his hands together, and in the center of his palms, a thousand-foot giant seal condensed out of thin air.
The seal was not a physical entity, but was formed by the intertwined phantoms of countless Primordial Divine Veins; it was so heavy that even the Void Realm could not support it, and as it pressed down, it emitted a piercing sound of shattering glass!
Beneath the Divine Seal, all things fell silent, save for a force of Ancient God that suppressed the ages, crashing down toward the crown of Ling Xi's head!
Facing this fatal blow, Ling Xi's expression did not change.
"Hum—!"
The Devouring Dao Rhyme around her, which had been faint and elusive, completely boiled over at this moment!
The Devouring Dao Rhyme spun, compressed, and condensed crazily, transforming into a huge, incomparable Devouring Millstone above her head!
The millstone turned, the power of devouring roared, and it smashed directly upward against the ten-thousand-foot Divine Seal!
"Boom—!!!"
The crimson millstone and the Glazed Divine Seal collided violently, pure and savage!
The terrifying shockwave swept in all directions, causing the light barrier of the Dao Discussion Platform to roar, twist, and nearly shatter!
The next moment, the Glazed God-Extinguishing Seal, capable of suppressing peers, was forcefully blocked by Ling Xi's Devouring Millstone, unable to descend even a fraction further!
Amidst the violent energy turbulence, the two giant objects remained deadlocked.
The crimson millstone did not move a hair, its surface Devouring Dao runes flowing endlessly, emitting a terrifying suction force that devoured everything.
And that huge Glazed Divine Seal, under the devouring and crushing force of the millstone, sank inch by inch and slowly dimmed!
The ancient Divine Runes on the Divine Seal flashed crazily, erupting with brilliant light, but no matter how it struggled or exploded, it could not shake the Devouring Millstone in the slightest.
The speed of the millstone's rotation increased, emitting a dull grinding sound, as if all things in the world were about to be crushed, devoured, and turned into nutrients.
The Glazed God-Extinguishing Seal, under this terrifying crushing pressure, began to crack and dissipate, inch by inch, from its edges!
Gu Shitian's pupils constricted, his face filled with disbelief, his eyes brimming with extreme shock and fear.
His fatal blow had actually been crushed, devoured, and obliterated by the opponent?
The speed at which the Divine Seal cracked increased, its brilliant light dimmed rapidly, and finally, amidst the scattering light, it vanished completely with a roar!
The Devouring Millstone, its momentum undiminished, carried the terrifying might to crush everything and smashed down fiercely!
"Puff—!!"
Gu Shitian felt as if he had been struck by lightning; his whole body shook violently, and he spat out a mouthful of golden Ancient God blood, his body retreating uncontrollably!
One step, two steps, three steps!
He retreated a full three steps before barely steadying himself, his body trembling violently, his breath in utter chaos.
