Chapter 1014: Chapter 549: Battle of the Power Dao! Heaven-Opening Nine Forms!

Zhan Feng was the first to step onto the stage, his vast vitality blazing like a scorching sun across the sky.

Every pore on his body breathed, roaring like thunder.

As soon as he stepped onto the stage, Zhan Feng was completely immersed in the moment, his eyes blazing with battle intent.

On his shoulder, he carried a bronze giant axe, three zhang long, covered densely in green rust, exuding a forbidden aura.

On the other side, Jiang Shu, with his white robe billowing, stepped forward, becoming the focal point of the world.

This arena, paved with white jade, possessed a miraculous self-repairing property, condensing into a vast white jade square that seemed to stretch endlessly.

"Since my birth three thousand years ago, I have never met an equal in the same realm!"

Zhan Feng declared loudly, ten scarlet halos slowly rising behind him: "Brother Jiang, proving the Dao through strength, has come to challenge!"

Zhan Feng’s muscles were knotted, his face resolute, and a masculine aura emanated from him.

As he spoke, the bronze battle axe on his shoulder began to buzz, the blood-colored Dao Patterns on its blade slicing the air into fine cracks.

Jiang Shu clasped his fists, his gaze swept across the blade, but he spoke lightly:

"Jiang Shu"

"Please."

As Jiang Shu’s words fell.

The bronze battle axe in Zhan Feng’s hand cleaved out a beam of light a hundred zhang long, sweeping forth.

It was as if an endless mountain range collapsed in that instant.

The heavens and earth seemed about to shatter.

Before the axe light even arrived, the white jade stones beneath Jiang Shu’s feet were inch by inch shattered, the violent energy forcibly pushing the watching geniuses back a hundred zhang.

At this moment, in the center of the battle, a tiger roar and dragon chant erupted from Jiang Shu’s spine, and chaos thunder coiled around his right fist as he struck forth.

"Clang!"

The clash of metal shattered clouds for thousands of miles, Zhan Feng and Jiang Shu simultaneously blasted back, their chests heaving violently as they calmed their surging blood.

"Again, again!"

"Let me show you, my path!"

Zhan Feng’s black hair danced wildly in the wind, the battle intent in his eyes growing ever more intense. A three-thousand-zhang phantom rose from behind him, the ancient battle marks on his skin distorting and tearing the surrounding air.

Jiang Shu’s long hair hung loose, advancing instead of retreating.

The 365 acupoints on his body surged with blood energy, his figure enlarging, transforming into the Heaven and Earth Great Dharma Form.

The fists and palms of the two giants collided, the aftermath turning into a circular shockwave, shattering the ground, annihilating the space, and even the asteroid belt hovering outside the stars was crushed into dust, disappearing without a trace.

"Tenth Realm? Has this Jiang Shu really just recently advanced to the Forget Form Realm? It feels like he’s been at this realm for a thousand years, accumulating power."

"They’re too strong, their struggle is something we can’t even interfere with. Ordinary Ninth Realm cultivators would be casually killed in the aftermath."

"Zhan Feng is so strong because he was born in the War Alliance, tempered by countless cosmic treasure medicines. I didn’t expect this Jiang Shu to be so powerful too; even I may not be his match!"

The surrounding geniuses watched the duel between these two, utterly shocked and stunned, unable to believe their eyes.

Compared to the long-renowned Wind Cloud Pride with a distinguished track record, Jiang Shu’s potency seemed a bit thin.

Compared to Zhan Feng, Jiang Shu’s prior history in the Star Ruins Realm hadn’t left much impression, a figure emerging from an unknown small planet.

Such figures are countless in the vast cosmos.

But at this moment, everyone understood why the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance backed Jiang Shu!

As the battle commenced, the previous rumors and gossip vanished.

To contend with Zhan Feng using pure physical strength alone was beyond the expression "Supreme Genius."

Many people could no longer discern the specific moves between the two, only seeing the vast Dao Rhyme and Order Chains entwining between them.

"Exhilarating!"

Zhan Feng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, laughing heartily.

"Since my birth, I’ve never met anyone who could rival my physical strength. Today’s battle is truly delightful!"

The violent winds born from space shattering blew Zhan Feng’s hair, and though blood flowed on his body, he didn’t appear desolate, only endless heroic spirit manifesting.

Many parts of his body were scorched black, the exposed flesh twisted as if roasted.

This was the injury caused by Jiang Shu’s chaos thunder, though it wasn’t extremely severe, only appearing a bit tragic.

Jiang Shu wasn’t faring any better, the corners of his mouth blackened, his once white robe now marked with several crimson handprints.

From the void behind Zhan Feng, ten bronze chains reached out, intertwining with each other, each wrapped around different laws of order.

Jiang Shu’s pupils shrank sharply, the Void Soul Splitting Void Pupil Light sweeping across the vastness, only to see a Taotie Divine Beast’s shadow materializing on the surface of the chains, its blood-red mouth opening to swallow the powerful Great Technique whole, making it vanish.

Simultaneously, Zhan Feng seemed to suffer some trauma, a flush rising suddenly on his bronze face, blood threads appearing in his eyes, and a sound like rushing water echoing from within, akin to roaring waves.

The ancient bronze battle axe gradually revealed lines forming a pattern resembling Taotie.

"Such powerful skill!"

"While comprehending other laws, he was also able to cultivate the Law of Power to this level. Jiang Shu, everyone underestimated you!"
