The battle erupted instantly. Chen Ping launched the first attack, transforming into a whirlwind of energy, and punched the divine projection. Wherever the force of the punch passed, space shattered like a mirror, leaving behind cracks.

However, the divine projection did not dodge. It simply raised an invisible arm and gently blocked, and Chen Ping's fist force was completely absorbed as if it had been plunged into a bottomless abyss.

Upon seeing this, Chen Ping raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Oh, not bad."

Upon hearing this, the divine projection laughed heartily, "Hahaha, of course! I'm about to launch my counterattack!"

The divine projection's laughter subsided, and suddenly, a dazzling divine light erupted from its palm, like a star compressed to its extreme. The energy waves it released instantly filled the entire battlefield. The divine light, like a brilliant galaxy cascading down, carried the power of the vast universe and charged towards Chen Ping with unstoppable force.

However, Chen Ping reacted with unusual calm and speed to this seemingly devastating attack. He slightly tilted his head, his body moving with the agility of a fish breaking through water, instantly dodging the powerful blow from the divine projection.

Not only that, Chen Ping not only dodged, but also used the opponent's force against them, turning the passive situation into the active one. He clenched his right fist, which contained boundless power, and struck the divine projection like a thunderbolt in an instant.

A deafening crash resounded as Chen Ping and the divine projection collided violently in the void, their powers merging in an astonishing way at that moment.

They sometimes separated, and sometimes collided violently, the continuous "bang bang bang" sound resounding throughout the world, like thunderous drumbeats striking the heartstrings of every viewer.

The divine projection gradually adjusted its battle strategy, abandoning its initial ranged energy attacks and instead choosing to engage Chen Ping in the most direct and primal hand-to-hand combat. Each collision generated a powerful shockwave, causing ripples to spread through the surrounding space, like flowing ink paintings depicting this ultimate duel between forces.

As Chen Ping and the projected divine bodies collided, they gleamed with a metallic sheen, their muscles taut and veins bulging. In their head-on battle, they were constantly sweating profusely, every muscle and every bone giving their all to withstand and generate powerful force.

Each punch seemed to ignite a fire within them, making them more passionate and determined.

They are no longer simply individuals, but have become embodiments of strength and conviction, demonstrating their perseverance and dedication through their actions. Every separation and collision is a challenge to the limits, a yearning for self-transcendence, and a symbol of courageous exploration of the unknown.

......

The divine projection lying on the ground suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha, that was exhilarating! It was truly incredibly exhilarating! I never imagined that the feeling of every punch landing on you would be so satisfying! Hahaha!!!"

Hearing this, Chen Ping, who was lying two meters away from it, rolled his eyes and said, "Hey, hey, hey, don't talk so strangely."

"You've already lost, and you're still so happy? You're really optimistic."

The divine projection turned to look at Chen Ping and laughed, "Hahaha, so what if you lost? It's just a projection anyway. Good brother, let's have another fight when you get to the core sea area!"

Chen Ping: "What? You're not convinced? Your projection can't beat me now, and your real body will be the same. Are you looking for a beating?"

The divine projection: "Hahaha, I don't deny that, brother. When you fought me, you clearly suppressed your strength, didn't you?"

"Although the projection only has about 70% of my own strength, it is clear that even if the real me came, I would not be your match."

Chen Ping: "Oh~ you actually saw through me, hehe, so you still want to fight again in the core sea area? It's a 100% loss, what's the point of fighting?"

The divine projection said: "Victory or defeat is not everything. The key is the understanding and growth in battle. Just because you can see that I am not strong enough does not mean that I will always be stuck here. This battle has indeed made me realize my shortcomings, so I should improve myself. When we meet again, even if I lose to you again, at least I can put pressure on you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping rolled his eyes and said, "Alright, alright, we'll talk about it when we get to the core sea area. Now you can hurry back and start cultivating."

The divine projection said, "Hehe, remember that, by the way, my name is Rossi, Corbin. Remember that, don't forget it!"

Chen Ping rubbed his slightly sore shoulders, savoring the fierce battle he had just fought against the divine projection Rossi Corbin, secretly admiring the uniqueness and intrigue of his opponent. Watching Rossi's projection gradually disappear into the air, he murmured, "Rossi, Corbin, I'll remember that name. I hope we'll be stronger when we meet again."

Soon, a new divine projection appeared in the center of the battlefield where the battle had just taken place. Unlike Rossi's enthusiasm and exuberance, this newly appeared projection immediately displayed a cautious and orderly aura.

It did not launch an attack immediately, but instead circled around, seemingly searching for something, while also analyzing the environment and Chen Ping.

He quickly received the message from the Pantheon, and after sorting it out, his eyes brightened.

"The Pantheon Trial? I actually won the Pantheon Trial this time? That's amazing!"

You should know that there are rewards for serving as a trial participant in the Pantheon, and the rewards are quite good. At the very least, they can improve one's strength and save him a lot of time.

Hmm? Chen Ping looked at the divine projection in front of him and felt that compared to Rossi, not only was he much weaker, but he also seemed to be a bit dim-witted. Could he really be an idiot?

After thinking for a moment, Chen Ping took out the Seven Deadly Sins and transformed them into Gluttony. Instantly, a Gluttony sphere more than a meter tall appeared in front of him.

Well, Chen Ping looked at Gluttony, which had returned to its original size, and was somewhat speechless. Sigh, he could only say that Gluttony was indeed worthy of the name, its consumption rate was really fast.

Once the gluttony appeared, it immediately leaped towards the divine projection, its enormous mouth already open. All that was left was to shove the divine projection into its mouth with a loud "whoosh."

Smash it! Smash it! Smash it! Smash it!

(⊙o⊙)…

Chen Ping stared blankly at the projection of the god whose body had been half-eaten by Gluttony. What the hell was going on? It was resolved so easily?

At least put up a little resistance, right? While a projection at the level of a god-king is powerless against a creator god like Gluttony, surely making a move would be possible, wouldn't it? Gluttony hasn't even unleashed his divine power.
