113: Peak Showdown

As the Buddha light dissipated, Lin Ye's figure appeared, but his body was now filled with divine light, dazzling and bright, almost illuminating the entire arena. Countless Dao Rhymes swirled around him, each one incredibly distinct.

Hum...

His Sword Dao sublimated to its limit. His hands continuously drew circles; this was the Pacifying Chaos Sword Art!

Besides consolidating his cultivation these past few days, he had also been constantly exploring his own Dao and his own techniques.

The Sword Dao and the Dao of Killing were his paths. Coupled with the Sword Intent from that mysterious scroll, Lin Ye had pushed the Pacifying Chaos Sword Art a step further!

At this moment, he was devoid of joy or worry, his mind free of distracting thoughts. He seemed to have transcended the mundane world, his heart completely ethereal. He paid no heed to the incoming ring; his hands formed sword fingers, moving slowly.

Boom!

A Yin and Yang Taiji diagram appeared behind him.

His hands rotated, one jet-black as ink, the other white as jade, tracing the trajectory of the Dao.

The previous Pacifying Chaos Sword Art evolved into the sun and moon, forming the Sun and Moon Sword Seal!

Now, having advanced further, it naturally evolved into the Taiji truth of the primordial Universe!

His hands became the two poles of the Taiji Great Dao, representing Taiyin and Taiyang!

Within the Taiji divine diagram behind him, a terrifying Sword Intent was concealed.

Crack, crack, crack, crack...

The moment this Sword Intent appeared, the incoming light ring shattered inch by inch!

"Hm?!" Jiang Yunmei was somewhat shocked. In just a few short days, Lin Ye didn't even need to strike directly to shatter her ring? What kind of talent was this?!

But the anger in her heart did not cease.

With a light wave of her jade hand, a ring in her grasp erupted with thousands of rays of holy brilliance, dazzling beyond compare. Those rays transformed into blades filled with Killing intent, striking toward Lin Ye.

In the air, the blades resembled a river, rumbling as they passed, with waves towering to the heavens.

At this moment, Lin Ye's gaze sharpened. Pushing the Taiyin and Taiyang with his hands, he charged forward.

That terrifying Aura made Jiang Yunmei's heart tremble, but before she could think, a loud noise erupted behind her. She turned her head to look.

She didn't know when, but Xiang Tiange had already charged toward her side. His purple Qi and blood soared into the clouds, his entire being radiating heat, as if he would evaporate everything. This was the utilization of Qi and blood to the extreme. He was like an immortal divine furnace, shining brilliantly.

"Hm?!" With Lin Ye in front pushing the Taiyin and Taiyang, and Xiang Tiange behind with his Qi and blood transformed into a furnace, burning everything, Jiang Yunmei was dumbfounded.

"Why are these two charging at me at the same time?! Am I already this strong? Do I require Lin Ye and Xiang Tiange to join forces to deal with me?"

In the sky, Jiang Yunmei's river of blades continued to pour out toward Lin Ye; at this point, she could no longer retract her move.

Thinking of this, a faint light appeared on Jiang Yunmei, enveloping her entire body. She intended to withstand Xiang Tiange's attack head-on, and then teach Lin Ye a lesson first!

Boom!!!

Just as Jiang Yunmei covered her entire body in spiritual power, a roar sounded, and she felt as if her bones were shattering.

Xiang Tiange had slammed directly into her. This impact was like a mountain fiercely crashing into her body. Jiang Yunmei's eyes rolled back on the spot, and she lost consciousness. Her entire body was sent flying away.

Clang, clang, clang...

On the other side, Lin Ye casually unleashed a Taiyin Sword strike, and the incoming river of blades was instantly shattered.

The spectators on the high platform all held their breath. They had realized that Lin Ye and Xiang Tiange were about to begin their Peak Duel!!!

They saw both men charging toward each other simultaneously, with no spiritual power wrapping their bodies. Lin Ye pushed the Taiyin and Taiyang with his hands, embodying the ultimate of the Dao, his Sword Qi soaring into the sky. On Xiang Tiange's arms, purple Qi and blood erupted, each strand containing the Great Dao of Killing.

Before them, the Laws of Heaven and Earth intertwined and surged, with destructive energy rampaging. The two had eyes only for each other, and as if they intended to kill one another, the Killing intent on their bodies continuously solidified.

Finally, under the gaze of everyone, the two collided.

Boom!!!!!! A massive roar resonated throughout the Universe.

Black, white, and purple Dao Rhymes intertwined continuously.

Endless light became the only thing in heaven and earth, submerging the arena. Such a violent collision was something no one had expected. Some ordinary Cultivators were even more shocked; if they had appeared on that arena, they would likely have been reduced to broken bones and blood mud in an instant.

The Elder in charge of the Grand Competition also immediately moved the other Sequence Disciples off the stage. He had already realized that neither Xiang Tiange nor Lin Ye could be compared to the other Sequence Disciples now. Let alone contending with them, they probably didn't even have the qualifications to test their swords!

The talent of the two could not be described in words. Although they were Soul Transformation Cultivators, their first collision had directly shattered the arena, and even the great formation had begun to fluctuate. Who could have imagined that this was a battle between the younger generation!

On the platform, Chu Hao widened his eyes: "Senior Sister! Did you see that? This is Brother Lin's true strength!!! He is too strong!"

Ling Ruoqing's beautiful eyes looked at the figure on the stage, wondering what she was thinking. Her hands unconsciously gripped the corner of her clothes, seemingly worried, and seemingly conflicted.

Seeing this scene, the Mystic Moon Holy Master, though her face was covered by a light veil and her expression could not be seen, just by the constantly fluctuating Aura on her body, it was clear that she was also shocked by the terrifying strength of Lin Ye and Xiang Tiange. She even thought of her own eldest disciple. If Lin Yu were here, would he be a match for these two?

...

At this moment, Lin Ye and Xiang Tiange stood in the very center of the arena. Their surroundings were covered in gravel; that collision just now had instantly shattered the arena around them. Powerful spiritual power ravaged the arena and the surrounding air. If not for the obstruction of the great formation, it was estimated that those Cultivators nearby would all have been affected.

"As expected of you! Lin Ye!" Xiang Tiange had a wild smile on his face. He hadn't felt this way in a long time. Sure enough, his judgment hadn't been wrong; Lin Ye was terrifyingly strong! Whether it was that Taiji diagram or his own physique, it all seemed top-notch! Such a Prodigy, even compared to that person he met in the forbidden zone, seemed to be a cut above!

"..." Lin Ye did not speak, but the smile on his face proved that he was in a good mood. Lin Ye was equally filled with desire for battle! After all, to become stronger, the fastest shortcut was battle, especially with such a top-tier Prodigy!

As the two looked at each other, they both saw the Battle Intent in each other's eyes.

The next second! Boom! Powerful Auras erupted from both of them simultaneously.

The testing phase had ended; what followed was the real battle. In the sky, a massive Immortal Palace and that Taiji divine diagram collided continuously; this was a duel of visions.
