Chapter 1925 - 1953: Evenly Matched
Di Yun’s cultivation was two whole realms higher than Ye Feng’s, so he managed to make up for his lack in momentum and aura, forcing a stance of equal footing against Ye Feng. Just as the two men’s auras surged and collided in that instant, Ye Feng and Emperor Yun Dao Venerable simultaneously erupted with True Essence, which then gathered beneath their feet as they both stomped down on the Void.
"Boom~~ crack crack crack~~" In a flash, space caved in, cracks webbed across the Space Barrier. Their stomps shattered the space beneath them, True Essence jetting from under their feet like columns of air, and the two of them shot out like fighter jets in an instant.
"Swish!" In the blink of an eye, the two collided, their bodies slamming heavily into each other.
"Boom!" The Void let out a muffled roar, like a massive drum being struck all at once.
Then, the two directly began to clash in physical strength, their hands tightly locked together.
Ye Feng and Emperor Yun Dao Venerable’s arms bulged, muscles swelling, veins popping one after another. Their arms looked as if they had been tempered with molten iron, radiating a steel-like explosive power. That strength was enough to make one feel fear.
Both of them clutched the other’s hands and exerted force at the same time, trying to push the other down. The Blood Qi erupting from their bodies collided and churned together, as if forming a blood-colored sphere. That sphere of blood light continuously expanded, constantly smashing against itself, the impact making heaven and earth tremble, the ground shatter, endless rubble annihilated under that pressure.
Ye Feng pushed the power of his Burning Sky Annihilation Body to the extreme, directly forcing Emperor Yun Dao Venerable’s body to stagger backwards. Shock flashed in Emperor Yun Dao Venerable’s eyes; he had never imagined that a mere Martial Artist at the peak of Proof of Dao could unleash such terrifying physical strength. Emperor Yun Dao Venerable felt as if his fingers were about to be crushed.
"Back for me!" With a furious roar, Emperor Yun Dao Venerable circulated his True Essence. All one hundred and eight meridians simultaneously drew True Essence, and the hundred and eight thousand pores across his body suddenly erupted with endless, overwhelming energy, crushing straight toward Ye Feng.
"Boom!" Their auras surged. Emperor Yun Dao Venerable, whose body had already been bent by Ye Feng’s push, saw his power soar in an instant and pressed back. Ye Feng’s body began to bend instead, but Ye Feng refused to back down.
Ye Feng’s Slaughter Heaven Battle Technique burst forth, True Essence surging. Endless Power of Destruction coiled around Ye Feng’s body.
In an instant, heaven and earth shook. Ye Feng’s aura skyrocketed and once again crushed toward Emperor Yun Dao Venerable.
The two instantly returned to a stalemate, evenly matched. Their auras raged as Ye Feng and Emperor Yun Dao Venerable, just in brute strength alone, found neither could overcome the other. Their terrifying auras collided, forming a world-ending storm that swept out in all directions, crushing wall after wall within the great labyrinth.
The crowd hurriedly condensed True Essence barriers to wrap around their bodies, resisting the rubble that kept flying toward them. Everyone watched Ye Feng and Emperor Yun Dao Venerable, feeling a deep, indescribable shock at the sheer might of their strength.
A bitter look appeared on Li Yan’s face. "Originally, I thought that among the younger generation, my strength was already in the top tier. But seeing them now, I finally realize my power is still far behind theirs!"
The others could only nod helplessly. Were they any different? They had thought that even if their strength wasn’t the absolute strongest among the young generation, the gap between them and the strongest wouldn’t be too large.
But now, after seeing Ye Feng and Emperor Yun Dao Venerable, they realized just how naive they had been.
In the Void, Ye Feng and Emperor Yun Dao Venerable were locked in a deadlock, neither able to do anything to the other for the moment.
At this moment, a vicious glint flashed in Emperor Yun Dao Venerable’s eyes. True Essence gathered at his knee, which he then viciously drove toward Ye Feng’s abdomen. However, Ye Feng had long since prepared.
Almost at the same time, Ye Feng lifted his own knee and smashed it heavily into Emperor Yun Dao Venerable’s knee.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Their knees collided again and again. The dull, heavy impacts echoed clearly through the Void, like two flying mountains constantly slamming into each other.
Ye Feng and Emperor Yun Dao Venerable gripped each other’s hands, contesting strength as their knees continuously crashed together.
At the same time, their bodies kept dropping from the Void. In just a short while, the two landed on the ground. With each collision of their knees, the earth beneath them caved in, sending out a fierce wave of wind. The wind surged, shaking the Void, and the crater on the ground grew larger and larger.
Yet at this point, both ceased using their knees to strike and instead began searching for an opening.
They pushed against each other with all their strength, but neither could do anything to the other. Just then, light flared.
Almost simultaneously, a Sword Roar and Dragon cry resounded through the Void. Ye Feng and Emperor Yun Dao Venerable both summoned their own treasures. The Blood Killing Sword burst with blood-colored radiance, exuding an incomparably Ling Li, iron-slicing-like-mud aura.
Meanwhile, Emperor Yun Dao Venerable’s Black Dragon Spear erupted with endless black light, as if it could devour space itself. A massive black dragon phantom coiled around the spear’s shaft. Both men wielded their treasures and lunged toward each other almost at the same time.
"Shua~~" The Blood Killing Sword shot out like a streak of Lei Ting, instantly cutting through the Void.
The Black Dragon Holy Spear let out a furious roar, smashing space apart as it collided head-on with the sword. The two treasures met.
"Rumble~~" Heaven and earth trembled. Terrifying Sword Qi and Gun Element crashed together, Sword Qi exploding, Gun Element scattering. Then the two treasures slammed into each other, sparks flying in all directions.
"Clang~~" A crisp, unmistakable metallic crash resounded through the Void as the two treasures were simultaneously blasted backward, smashing through wall after wall. Only after shattering dozens of walls did they finally come to a halt.
Ye Feng and Emperor Yun Dao Venerable were also struck by a massive backlash and almost simultaneously released their grips on each other’s hands.
Ye Feng’s figure was blasted back a full hundred zhang before he barely managed to stop, Blood Qi surging chaotically within his body...
