155: Chapter 155 Sparring!

When Wang Chen saw Daoist Master Cangxuan's solemn expression,

he immediately spoke with a smile on his face.

“Since you are both powerhouses of the Domain Realm Late Stage, why not... try exchanging some pointers?”

He spoke very casually.

However, the trace of anticipation in his eyes was impossible to hide.

It couldn't be helped.

Mainly, in his heart, he was truly too curious about the famous Lightning Five-Chain Whip.

In his past life, he could only watch the excitement through videos.

With a few 'crack, crack, crack' sounds, it would end before he could even see clearly, followed by a screen full of ridiculing comments.

Now that he finally had the chance to see it with his own eyes, how could he not be curious?

Of course.

Wang Chen also understood in his heart.

This was a Xuanhuan world, not the... normal world of his past life.

Furthermore, the System had said so.

The Lightning Five-Chain Whip was a very powerful Divine Ability; it should possess terrifying power capable of destroying heaven and earth.

It was definitely not like that of his past life...

In short.

He really wanted to see it for himself...

After hearing Wang Chen's words,

Daoist Master Cangxuan's expression became even more solemn.

As for Lightning Daoist Venerable,

he maintained a calm appearance from beginning to end.

It was as if he were not about to face a spar with a powerhouse of the same level, but was simply going for a stroll in the park.

Watching his composed manner, Wang Chen couldn't help but marvel in his heart.

Holy crap!

As expected of a Grandmaster!

This demeanor of remaining unfazed even if Mount Tai were to collapse before him was not something an ordinary person could achieve...

“I obey... Your Majesty's command!”

After receiving the order,

Daoist Master Cangxuan immediately turned to look at Lightning Daoist Venerable, cupped his fists, and said,

“Fellow Daoist, please.”

Lightning Daoist Venerable's expression was indifferent as he nodded slightly with an air of immense pretension.

“Fellow Daoist, please.”

After the two exchanged glances,

they simultaneously soared into the air.

In an instant,

they had already appeared high in the sky, ten thousand feet up.

Wang Chen sat upon his throne, his gaze piercing through the palace to lock onto those two figures.

In the Void Realm,

Daoist Master Cangxuan and the other stood a hundred feet apart, facing each other from a distance.

“Fellow Daoist,”

Daoist Master Cangxuan said in a deep voice.

“We are both in the Domain Realm Late Stage. If we strike with full force, I fear this world will not be able to withstand it.”

“Why don't we both manifest our Domain barriers and constrain our power within them, how about it?”

“Excellent.”

As the words fell, both raised their hands simultaneously.

“Hum—!”

Two invisible Domain barriers instantly spread out from their bodies.

Daoist Master Cangxuan's barrier was dark in color, with faint images of stars being extinguished and the Void Realm collapsing within it.

In contrast, Lightning Daoist Venerable's barrier was a scene of Chaos.

While it was called Chaos,

it was not pure Chaos.

Within it, black and white Qi faintly circulated, Yin and Yang intertwined in a seamless whole, as if encompassing all things, yet as if all things existed within it.

The two barriers collided and intertwined, finally merging into one, completely enveloping the space within a ten-thousand-foot radius.

Inside the barrier

was their battlefield.

While outside the barrier,

all remained calm.

...

Daoist Master Cangxuan took a deep breath, and the Aura around his body began to surge.

He knew

that facing this inscrutable old man in white, he had to go all out.

“Fellow Daoist, watch out!”

He gave a low shout, and with a flash of his figure, he appeared right in front of Lightning Daoist Venerable!

He struck with a palm!

This palm strike

seemed simple, but it contained Daoist Master Cangxuan's insights into the Law from hundreds of thousands of years.

However—

Lightning Daoist Venerable moved.

He merely tilted his body slightly and shifted his feet gently, letting Daoist Master Cangxuan's palm brush past his robes.

It was effortless.

Handling the heavy as if it were light. Daoist Master Cangxuan's pupils constricted, but his hands did not stop.

One palm missed.

A second palm followed immediately!

A third palm!

A fourth palm!

...

His offensive grew faster and more ferocious, each palm carrying enough power to destroy heaven and earth!

However—

Lightning Daoist Venerable continued to only slightly tilt his body, gently shift his steps, and slowly raise his hands.

His movements appeared extremely slow, yet they always managed to perfectly evade Daoist Master Cangxuan's attacks.

He even

occasionally brushed his hand, neutralizing most of Daoist Master Cangxuan's palm force.

Tai Chi!

Deflecting a thousand pounds with four ounces!

Using the opponent's strength against them!

When Wang Chen saw this scene, his eyes lit up.

As expected.

This was no longer the Tai Chi from his memories, though the movements still bore a slight resemblance.

But.

With every gesture, he could manipulate the power of the Law; this was a completely different concept from the Tai Chi he knew!

The more Daoist Master Cangxuan fought, the more alarmed he became.

He had already used eighty percent of his strength, yet he couldn't even touch the corner of the other's clothes!

The other's footwork seemed casual, but every step landed in his blind spot.

The other's hand movements seemed slow, but every time they precisely neutralized his offensive.

It was as if all his attacks were seen through by the opponent.

It was as if all his power was being 'borrowed' by the opponent.

“Fellow Daoist, try this!”

He gave a low shout, and his Move suddenly changed!

He was no longer trying to suppress with force, but rather to win with speed!

His figure instantly turned into countless afterimages, attacking Lightning Daoist Venerable from all directions simultaneously!

Every afterimage contained real power!

Every attack was enough to heavily injure a powerhouse of the same level!

This was another of his ultimate techniques—Phantom Thousand Kills!

However—

Lightning Daoist Venerable's face remained calm.

His steps were still unhurried.

His hands still moved slowly.

But the strange thing was—

no matter which direction Daoist Master Cangxuan's afterimages attacked from, he could just happen to turn, just happen to raise his hand, and just happen to neutralize it.

It was as if his body were the center of the entire world.

“Crack!”

A light sound.

One of Daoist Master Cangxuan's afterimages was swatted by Lightning Daoist Venerable and instantly dissipated.

“Crack!”

Another afterimage was brushed aside, vanishing into nothingness.

“Crack, crack, crack, crack—!”

Amidst a series of light sounds, Daoist Master Cangxuan's countless afterimages were neutralized one by one!

Finally,

his true body appeared, standing a hundred feet away with a solemn expression.

He stared at Lightning Daoist Venerable, his eyes full of wariness.

“Fellow Daoist! May I ask what kind of Divine Ability you were just using?”

“Fellow Daoist Cangxuan is too kind. What I just used was a Divine Ability I created myself—Intercept... Neutralize... Release!”

“Your talent is brilliant, I, Cangxuan, am impressed!”

“Haha... Fellow Daoist overpraises me...”

Afterward,

Daoist Master Cangxuan took a deep breath, and then his gaze sharpened.

“Fellow Daoist, watch out for what comes next!”

As the words fell, an Aura terrifying to the extreme suddenly erupted from around his body!

That Aura was more than ten times stronger than before!

That was the ultimate killing Move he had comprehended during hundreds of thousands of years of secluded cultivation—

World-Ending Thought!

“Boom—!!!”

Dark light surged frantically from within Daoist Master Cangxuan, instantly filling the entire barrier!

Within the barrier, the Void Realm collapsed, the Law shattered, and everything seemed about to be swallowed and destroyed!

That was true world-ending power!

That was a terrifying strike enough to make any powerhouse of the same level tremble with fear!

At this moment,

Daoist Master Cangxuan's eyes were full of confidence.

One must know

that this Move was his strongest trump card.

In his view,

no matter how strong the opponent was, it was absolutely impossible to easily block this killing Move of his!

However—

facing his attack, Lightning Daoist Venerable also moved.

This time,

he no longer slowly raised his hands or slowly shifted his steps.

His Aura

suddenly became incomparably sharp!

He discarded his previous softness; his whole person was like an unsheathed sharp sword, and like a bolt of lightning ready to strike!

Then—

he struck!

“Crack!”

A crisp sound!

It was precisely the first whip of his famous ultimate technique, the Lightning Five-Chain Whip!

With the first whip strike,

a terrifying whip shadow instantly shot out from Lightning Daoist Venerable's hand...
