Chapter 682: The Divine Kingdom Opens
Su Jingzhen spoke calmly, yet with an unprecedented seriousness.
His confidence was not groundless.
He was well aware that Shen Yifeng had already reached over 3,000 layers in the Nascent Soul realm.
Back then, Shen Yifeng was able to sweep through everything with only 300 layers of power.
If he were to unleash all 3,000 layers of his power, the extent of his abilities would be something even Su Jingzhen could hardly imagine.
At the very least, he believed that the Celestial Being Realm would not be able to withstand it.
Upon hearing his words, Qing Mo and the others were somewhat surprised.
Although Qing Mo had only interacted with Su Jingzhen a few times, he knew that Su Jingzhen was not one to make groundless claims.
Qing Mo then said, “Brother Su, could you perhaps share a bit more to satisfy our curiosity?”
His words already indicated that he believed Su Jingzhen’s claim.
Su Jingzhen smiled and replied, “Wait and see.”
He did not elaborate any further.
Qiu Yaoyao stood quietly by Su Jingzhen’s side, her eyes shining with excitement.
As Shen Yifeng and Yan Ling’s aura became more and more fierce and imposing, the crowd of onlookers gradually fell silent.
Their eyes were fixed on the two of them, filled with anticipation.
At this moment, Shen Yifeng stood on a flying sword, with the Killing Sword in his hand.
His aura was still at the Nascent Soul realm, but the momentum he exuded was enough to match Yan Ling, who was at the late Celestial Being realm.
“Today, I will cleanse the humiliation of Yan Ling and the Yan clan.
You should never have existed in this world!”
Yan Ling spoke again.
As soon as he finished, nine afterimages appeared where he stood.
He once again pushed the Netherworld Ghost Technique to its limits.
Within a thousand feet of where they stood, the void seemed to twist and distort.
He used the abilities of a high realm cultivator to control the rules and space, aiming to strike Shen Yifeng in a lower dimensional manner.
However, at this moment, an incomparable sword intent suddenly emerged from Shen Yifeng.
It formed a sword qi field, powerfully resisting the overwhelming pressure from Yan Ling.
At the same time, nine afterimages of Shen Yifeng also appeared on the spot.
Although Su Jingzhen and the others did not know why both of them had mastered the Netherworld Ghost Technique, Shen Yifeng had also reached the Ghostly Step level.
“Brat, watch carefully. This sword, a thousand years!”
The sword intent surrounding him completely repelled Yan Ling’s attacks.
Then, Shen Yifeng suddenly spoke out loudly.
Su Jingzhen’s mind was shaken; he naturally knew that his master was reminding him to pay attention.
“Killing Sword, one sword to kill!”
Shen Yifeng shouted clearly.
The Killing Sword in his hand suddenly burst into a crimson glow.
The sword intent became even stronger, surpassing its previous level.
Shen Yifeng held the sword in one hand and slashed at Yan Ling with a single, straight blow.
Even though it was a simple, straight strike, it locked onto Yan Ling directly.
Moreover, it locked onto Yan Ling’s true form.
Even after activating the Netherworld Ghost Technique a few more times, he still couldn’t break free from Shen Yifeng’s sword lock.
At this point, speed seemed to be irrelevant for both of them.
The only way out was through sheer force.
“Interesting, it seems like the past few decades were not wasted on you.”
Yan Ling’s eyebrows furrowed and his expression became more serious.
A layer of brilliant light blue radiance condensed around his body, and with a gesture, a large water droplet formed in the air in front of him.
He immediately used it to shield himself.
The Yan Clan’s special constitution was a water spirit body, and it was unknown whether Yan Ling had awakened the water spirit holy body. However, his mastery of water attributes was extremely powerful.
Water, being formless and shapeless, could be both hard and soft.
Since Shen Yifeng had taken the initiative with this first strike, Yan Ling saw no reason not to defend first.
He also wanted to use this strike to gauge the extent of Shen Yifeng’s fighting power.
The moment Shen Yifeng’s sword qi approached, the large water droplet in front of Yan Ling instantly solidified into a block of blue ice.
“Boom!”
In the next instant, Shen Yifeng’s sword qi predictably struck the ice block.
A thunderous sound echoed out.
Where the sword qi cut, a blinding ice blue light flashed, accompanied by almost endless ice shards.
As Su Jingzhen and the others’ vision cleared, they saw Shen Yifeng and Yan Ling standing a hundred paces apart in the air, their auras still as strong as ever.
Neither of them showed any signs of weakening.
“The power of that previous strike was undoubtedly within the Celestial Being Realm.
Shen Yifeng is only at the mid Nascent Soul stage, yet his combat power is so formidable.
This curse is truly not a curse, but a supreme transformation.”
“If someone had told me before that a mid-nascent soul could face off against a late-Celestial Being Realm in a fair fight, I would have dismissed it as a fairy tale.
Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, my understanding of this world has been refreshed once again.”
“Just now, both of them were merely testing each other.
I’m becoming more and more curious about the final outcome of this battle.”
“…”
As the crowd discussed, Su Jingzhen’s expression remained calm.
At this moment, Shen Yifeng’s eyebrows furrowed as he looked at the Killing Sword in his hand.
“It’s not as useless as I thought.”
Murmuring to himself, the aura around him grew even more impressive.
The crimson light on the Killing Sword became even more intense.
He looked at Yan Ling again, his voice cold as he spoke.
“Brat, look closely. This sword stroke is two thousand years of cultivation!”
Su Jingzhen’s heart trembled once again, but then he relaxed completely.
With one thousand years of cultivation, Shen Yifeng had already been able to unleash an attack on par with the Celestial Being Realm.
Now, with twice as much power, two thousand years of cultivation, wouldn’t this attack kill Yan Ling instantly?
Even if Yan Ling hadn’t used his full strength just now, this two thousand year cultivation strike wasn’t Shen Yifeng’s all-out attack.
This was a sure thing!
However, just as Shen Yifeng’s aura reached its peak, he was about to strike,
In the next instant, a dazzling pillar of light shot out from the Void Eye, accompanied by a huge and holy aura.
At that moment, everyone on Heavenly Deity Island was stunned.
Then there was a wave of ecstatic joy.
“This is the Divine Kingdom!”
“The Divine Kingdom has opened!”
“…”
