Chapter 16: The Ultimate Showdown
A dense wave of Vital Energy surged behind He Rongsheng, forming thick white clouds. A gigantic white horse descended from the sky, riding the clouds and exuding the might of Vital Energy. On its head was a Spirit Horn, radiating a blinding light.
"The Azure Cloud Sect's phenomenon has been activated."
At the same time, Lin Feng immediately unleashed his sect's phenomenon. With his hands forming seals, Vital Energy transformed into Desolate Smoke in the Desert, fully activated. Lone Smoke floated ethereally, forming a massive blood-red Ancient Cauldron.
"The Solitary Moon City phenomenon has been activated. This is the final showdown."
For those who practiced Fate Realization, once it involved a phenomenon battle, it was always a last-ditch effort.
He Rongsheng did not blend into the white clouds like the disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect to launch a sneak attack. Instead, he merged with the white horse, towering like a mountain. At times he took on human form, and at other times he transformed back into the white horse. Lin Feng fused with the Ancient Cauldron, sometimes becoming a towering giant and other times transforming into the blood-red Ancient Cauldron for an assault.
Thunderous Roars echoed…
The mountain-sized white horse, carrying vast Vital Energy, galloped through the air with powerful strides. Wherever it went, the void twisted, displaying an unparalleled might as it charged toward Lin Feng's Ancient Cauldron.
Lin Feng countered with the cauldron, showcasing astonishing defensive power. The surface of the blood-red Ancient Cauldron shimmered with intricate red patterns. Some depicted human forms while others illustrated beast forms.
The repeated clashes reverberated throughout the arena, causing the defensive array to tremble violently. The white horse neighed while the Ancient Cauldron hummed as if the defensive array was on the verge of collapse.
Several elders watched gravely as the defensive array shook. This was the ultimate defense array of Fate Realization, emanating a faint golden light and filled with numerous force patterns. However, cracks began to appear in these patterns.
"This involves an intent to kill; we are nearing the limits of Fate Realization's power. It seems we must intervene," one elder spoke softly, and the others nodded in agreement.
A group of four descended onto the corners of the Arena, preparing to enhance the formation.
Boom...
An unprecedented and violent collision erupted. The defensive formation's barriers were unexpectedly smashed open by the combined force of two individuals. The elders from the Azure Cloud Sect, who had just landed at the corners, couldn't help but be taken aback, quickly demonstrating their Divine Ability to repair the breach.
"You truly have some skills, but today you will surely be defeated by me."
He Rongsheng's arrogance grew even more pronounced. He sensed that Lin Feng was becoming increasingly formidable; his cultivation was gradually rising amidst the battle. How strange was that?
Both combatants unleashed extraordinary phenomena with each strike, showcasing the pinnacle power of Fate Realization. The two battled for half an hour, leaving the Arena littered with Residual Energy.
"What a fierce showdown; these two are evenly matched. Lin Feng is truly astonishing."
"If this battle continues, who knows who will ultimately emerge victorious."
"It will definitely be He Rongsheng. He possesses the Eye of Destiny; if he activates it, he can amplify his advantage and secure victory in one fell swoop."
Amidst the spectators' discussions, the battle within the arena intensified.
Lin Feng was fully engaged, not daring to show any signs of carelessness. With Indomitable Sword Intent, Great River Sword Technique, and the phenomenon of Solitary Moon City, his terrifying physical prowess merged and transformed in a clever interplay, pushing his physical combat to its limits—truly mind-boggling.
Only in Ancient Times did such domineering physical martial arts exist. In this era, it was all about techniques and spells.
He Rongsheng maintained control over the battlefield with Azure Cloud Sword Technique and the phenomena of Azure Cloud Sect. His myriad of profound Divine Ability applications reached an unparalleled level.
Bang...
Lin Feng gathered various Divine Abilities within himself, trying every possible way to get within ten feet of He Rongsheng. Finally, in a fleeting moment, he kicked He Rongsheng right in the chest.
At the same time, He Rongsheng unleashed a kick infused with Sword Technique, channeling all his intense Vital Energy. The power was astonishing. This kick landed squarely on Lin Feng's shoulder.
He Rongsheng staggered back three steps after taking Lin Feng's kick to the chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng was sent flying by the full force of He Rongsheng's kick, blood spraying from his mouth. He couldn't help but marvel inwardly; this He Rongsheng was indeed an unprecedented opponent. Though his physical strength was not as great as Lin Feng's, his mastery of Divine Techniques was unparalleled. Every strike was imbued with skill.
Lin Feng steadied himself, feeling a sharp pain in his shoulder. Looking down, he saw it had swollen up, as if it were dislocated.
"Lin Feng's left shoulder has been shattered."
"Lin Feng's greatest asset is his physical strength. Now that his left arm is incapacitated, does he still have the strength to fight?"
As the crowd murmured among themselves, their eyes widened in fear of missing any detail. Everyone wondered if this battle was nearing its end.
So far, both fighters had showcased their personal Cultivation prowess without relying on any external artifacts or means. Their combat abilities were enough to dominate the younger generation.
"To take one leg and cripple one arm—it's a fair trade."
As He Rongsheng spoke, he transformed into a streak of white light and charged forward. Having gained the upper hand, he intended to seize this opportunity to suppress his opponent.
"Come on."
Lin Feng let out a fierce roar, his fighting spirit soaring. Once again, he harnessed the power of the strange phenomenon, transforming his body into a sword as he charged forward.
He Rongsheng, wielding the might of the Spirit Horn, launched a full-force strike aimed at Lin Feng's right shoulder. This time, he intended to cripple Lin Feng's right arm, leaving him utterly defeated.
In Lin Feng's eyes, there was a resolute calmness. He did not retreat or evade; instead, he met the attack head-on.
"What does Lin Feng intend to do?"
"Is he really willing to sacrifice his other arm for a mutual destruction with his opponent?"
As Lin Feng closed in on He Rongsheng, his seemingly limp left hand suddenly sprang to life. At the same time, his other hand formed into an eagle claw, descending toward He Rongsheng's head.
He Rongsheng believed that Lin Feng had lost one arm and moved in closer, aiming to disable Lin Feng's remaining arm. Such an opportunity for close combat would not be missed by Lin Feng.
Once they were near, He Rongsheng felt a surge of extreme danger wash over him.
Crack...
With the sharp sound of bones intertwining echoing through the air, Lin Feng's once-limp left hand suddenly straightened, infused with divine power.
"This is bad. Lin Feng's arm wasn't broken; it was merely dislocated. Truly a terrifying physique. After taking He Rongsheng's Sword Technique strike, it only dislocated."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just ten feet ahead of him, Lin Feng's domain had arrived.
At that moment, Lin Feng erupted completely, unleashing a storm of strikes. He dominated the battlefield, each punch and kick carrying the might of thunder.
Lin Feng struck He Rongsheng squarely in the forehead. He Rongsheng immediately raised his hands to block. Seizing the momentum, Lin Feng spun in mid-air and landed on the back of a white horse. Then, he unleashed a flurry of kicks.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In close combat, Lin Feng showcased the full extent of his physical prowess. He Rongsheng was pushed back step by step, ultimately unable to withstand the onslaught and could only endure Lin Feng's relentless punches and kicks.
From a distance, it appeared as though Lin Feng was almost riding on He Rongsheng, much like Wu Song battling a tiger. Despite enduring excruciating pain, He Rongsheng struggled desperately to break free from Lin Feng's grip, but Lin Feng clung too tightly for him to escape.
He Rongsheng had no idea how many punches and kicks he had taken from Lin Feng before he began to cough up blood.
"Indeed, one cannot let Lin Feng get close. He Rongsheng is in grave danger."
The Elder Steward of Qingyun Sect watched as his top disciple was being overwhelmed, his face devoid of color. He shouted angrily, "Open your eyes!"
"Open!"
He Rongsheng let out a roar reminiscent of an Ancient Beast awakening. A third eye appeared between his brows, slowly opening. A terrifying power immediately radiated from it.
The defensive formation trembled violently as if an Ancient Beast trapped within was awakening.
"The eye has opened. What terrifying power."
"This power is blinding and instills fear in the heart. I wonder if Lin Feng can withstand it."
At this moment of the peak confrontation, He Rongsheng finally set aside his arrogance and unleashed the strongest power of his eyes. This was the forbidden Divine Ability bestowed upon him. Even in ancient times, beings like the Ethereal Body and the Eye of Destiny were considered prodigies, capable of dominating and commanding respect.
Golden light blazed forth. This radiance seemed to emanate from the essence of the sun, carrying a destructive aura within its intensity. It twisted the void, threatening to collapse the formation.
What kind of terrifying power was this? The crowd couldn't help but tremble in fear. This was an ancient force, a legacy from times long past.
This was the first time the Eye displayed its divine might before the world. Even Lin Feng felt a chill run down his spine, directly abandoning his advantage. He dodged the golden light's strike, opting for evasion.
The power radiating from the Eye's golden light was too overwhelming, making Lin Feng uneasy. He felt that even his physical body could not withstand it.
As Lin Feng dodged, the golden light struck like a tangible beam, hitting the edge of the Arena's formation barrier. With a sizzling sound, one corner of the barrier turned to ash.
"This..."
The disciples of Fate Realization were left speechless in shock. Such a destructive force—who could withstand it? Who could possibly rival it?
Several elders activated their Divine Abilities once more, enhancing the defensive formation's power.
He Rongsheng had repelled Lin Feng but did not rush to attack; instead, he assessed himself.
His white robes were stained with blood, tattered and disheveled. His bones were fractured in many places. His appearance was disheveled, hair in disarray, and his complexion pale.
"Lin Feng, I didn't expect you could push me to this extent. It seems I underestimated you," He Rongsheng said solemnly, still exuding an air of pride as if he had been born with it.
At this moment, He Rongsheng regarded Lin Feng as an equal opponent. The disdain and condescension were gone.
Lin Feng dared not look directly at He Rongsheng's third eye and sincerely said, "Your eye is indeed extraordinary; it's truly terrifying."
In response to Lin Feng's praise, He Rongsheng remained indifferent. A talent like him had received too much admiration throughout his life and had grown numb to it.
He Rongsheng said, "I originally thought that in this Jiu Zhou Gathering, the only one who could challenge me was the Ethereal Body. Only she could continuously unleash her extraordinary powers to rival my eye."
"Unfortunately, she chose to withdraw and let you advance. I still find it hard to understand. Although you are impressive, compared to me and the Ethereal Body, you are still lacking."
He Rongsheng's tone was calm, yet he spoke an ironclad truth. Those like him, who were favored by the heavens, could not be compared to a mortal like Lin Feng.
Only by being a divine body could one truly understand the extraordinary nature of divine bodies. Thus, when He Rongsheng learned that Lin Miaomiao was the Ethereal Body, he visited her as soon as she arrived in Gaojing.
In He Rongsheng's eyes, the Ethereal Body was the only one qualified to converse with him. They belonged to the same level, looking down upon all beings. (To be continued...)
