Yun Che landed on the Conferred God Platform and faced Luo Changsheng at close range.
The spectators were quiet, but there was no tense atmosphere. Luo Changsheng had no profound energy, but the invisible aura of the Divine King had revealed everything. In front of this aura, Yun Che's existence was full of invisible humility that anyone could sense.
The last battle was so brutal, but in just three days, there was a world of difference. Yun Che was still at the ninth level of the Divine Tribulation Realm, but Luo Changsheng had entered a completely different realm and was no longer the Luo Changsheng from three days ago.
Facing Yun Che, his expression remained the same as before, without any disturbance or ripples, as if he had not seen Yun Che at all.
“…” Yun Che took a deep breath.
"There is no need to elaborate on the rules," said the Exalted One, waving his arm, "Let the battle begin!"
Bang!
As soon as the voice of the Quhui Master fell, Yun Che’s “Heaven Booming” state gate opened, and his profound energy exploded until it reached its peak. The Heaven Smiting Sword was already in his hand, releasing a heavy sword might.
However, Luo Changsheng did not move at all, and even his profound energy did not release at all. Only his expression finally changed, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Yun Che, you really did not disappoint me. If you were scared to death and admitted defeat directly, it would be too boring."
“Humph.” Yun Che narrowed his eyes slightly: “Luo Changsheng, as your cultivation has improved, you’ve also been talking a lot more nonsense.”
In the last battle, at the shout of Venerable Quhui, the two men immediately engaged in fierce fighting without a single word exchanged.
"Heh," Luo Changsheng smiled faintly, "That's because I regarded you as my opponent last time. But today, you are no longer worthy."
Yun Che: “…”
"Oh, why is this kid so arrogant?" The God Emperor Shi Tian glanced at him.
“Human nature will not suddenly change in a short period of time.” Brahma God Emperor said: “Since you have already released the strength that you have been suppressing, why do you have to continue to suppress your nature? Especially in front of Yun Che, who made him suffer the first setback and embarrassment.”
“However, a thirty-year-old God King, even if he is extremely arrogant, has sufficient qualifications,” said the Star God Emperor.
Luo Changsheng's words, which released arrogance and contempt, surprised all the profound practitioners in the spectator seats... Previously, in every battle of the Conferred God War, Luo Changsheng never used heavy hands, even when facing the weakest opponents, and he would never despise and mock the enemy. He would even try his best to make the opponent lose without embarrassment.
Even in the last battle with Yun Che, although he looked down on him at first, he never showed any contempt or arrogance.
Today, not only has Luo Changsheng's strength entered a shocking new realm, but even his speech and posture seem to have changed.
Shengyu Realm King Luo Shangchen frowned.
“Heh,” Yun Che sneered, “It seems that your face wasn’t swollen enough from the last fight!”
With a sneer, Yun Che suddenly rose up, transformed into a swift stream of light, and slashed at Luo Changsheng with a sword.
Luo Changsheng's aura, posture, and eyes had all changed. The person in front of him was still Luo Changsheng, but Yun Che seemed to be facing a completely different person.
The Luo Changsheng in front of him did not move the slightest bit of his profound energy, but he invisibly gave him a bottomless and terrifying feeling. This feeling made him suffocate, but his mind was clear. The arrogance and contempt released by Luo Changsheng did not make him angry, but on the contrary... it was Luo Changsheng's flaw!
The moment the Heaven Smiting Sword was swung, golden flames burst forth, and the flames blazed across the sky. Three days ago, everyone had witnessed with their own eyes how terrifying the power of this sword was, causing many profound practitioners to feel nervous. However, the next moment, their eyes suddenly widened, their faces filled with astonishment.
Because, facing the sudden might of sword and fire, Luo Changsheng did something that was incomprehensible. He stood still, his right hand was casually placed behind his back, and his left hand was stretched out slowly to meet the might of the Heaven Smiting Sword that was coming straight at him.
"Ah!? Luo Changsheng...what is he doing? Could it be that he wants to..."
“That was Yun Che’s sword might, and the Golden Crow Flame. Even if he was a Divine King, it would be impossible for him to…”
boom-
The Heaven Smiting Sword collided with Luo Changsheng's palm in mid-air, but what was emitted was not the loud sound of the sword's might exploding, but an extremely dull roar. This roar echoed above the Conferred God Platform and also resounded in the depths of everyone's heart and soul.
Yun Che stopped there, his whole body stiffened, and his pupils shrank violently.
Luo Changsheng's body remained motionless, except for his outstretched left hand, which was forced to retreat slightly. In his slightly open left hand, the heavy scarlet blade of the Heaven Smiting Sword was fixed.
There was a sudden silence in the audience seats, and countless pairs of eyes were wide open, unable to believe what they were seeing.
Yun Che's terrifying sword power, which was enough to create cracks on the Conferred God Platform, was actually taken by Luo Changsheng with his bare hands... or with one hand!
Not even a single step back!
Looking at Yun Che’s suddenly shrank eyes, Luo Changsheng’s mouth curled slightly, and his five fingers slowly gathered together, grabbing onto the sword blade. With his gentle movements, the might of the Heaven Smiting Sword quickly dissipated like flowing water, and the Golden Crow Flame was suppressed layer by layer, burning weaker and weaker.
"Ah...ah...ah..." Huo Poyun leaned forward, his face pale. At his side, Huo Rulie had a solemn expression, but no surprise at all. As a powerful God, how could he not know what "God King" meant, how could he not know the huge difference between the God King realm and the God Spirit realm.
Luo Changsheng slowly raised his arm that had been pressed down. His movements were neither fast nor slow, and seemed very casual. However, Yun Che felt as if a huge force was pressing down on the sword. No matter how he concentrated his strength, he could not create the slightest resistance. He retreated violently, and the Golden Crow flame on the sword was completely extinguished at this moment.
“Not bad,” Luo Changsheng half-squinted his eyes and looked at Yun Che, with a look of pity: “It actually made my hand feel a little pain, it’s worth rewarding.”
The tone of praise, but also with undisguised contempt and ridicule. Luo Changsheng's mouth tilted slightly, and the palm holding the Heaven Smiting Sword gently pressed forward.
Bang!
An invisible force was transmitted from the Heaven Smiting Sword, causing Yun Che’s entire body to tremble violently. He retreated in panic, and only managed to stop after retreating dozens of steps. The blood and energy in his body violently churned, and a deep sense of horror welled up in his heart.
The Heaven Smiting Sword...was actually caught...with one hand...
Although Yun Che had never fought against a Divine King before, he knew clearly what it meant to cross a bottleneck in a major realm, so he would never dare to underestimate Luo Changsheng's strength at this moment.
Although he had used his full strength in the previous strike, he was testing the opponent. He was confident that with his sword power, even a God King would not be able to deal with it easily...
He really never dreamed that Luo Changsheng would catch it with one hand, or with his bare hands, and his posture was so easy, as if he was brushing away dust.
Yun Che's chest rose and fell violently, and his breathing became chaotic... How could this happen? Even if he had crossed a major realm, he was only just entering the Divine King Realm. How could there be such a huge gap between the Divine King Realm and the Divine Spirit Realm!
Yun Che was shocked, and the young profound practitioners were all dumbfounded. All of Yinxue Yanshen's disciples were stunned, and Huo Poyun was also stunned, unable to come back to his senses.
Three days ago, they fought till the sky was dark and the earth was dark, almost fighting to the last bit of strength and the last drop of blood. Only three days had passed, and Luo Changsheng had only made a leap forward... How could the gap increase so sharply! ?
Luo Changsheng did not take the initiative to attack. He stood in place, his right hand still behind his back, a lazy smile on his face, and raised his left hand limply: "Come on, continue, let me see how hard you can struggle, but please don't let me down."
He looked like a high and mighty god, mercifully delivering oracles to a humble mortal.
Yun Che's breathing gradually calmed down, and the golden flames on the Heaven Smiting Sword ignited again, burning more fiercely than before. He jumped up, concentrated all his strength on the sword, and blasted it down towards Luo Changsheng.
He couldn't believe what had just happened. He couldn't believe that Luo Changsheng, who had just broken through to the Divine King Realm, was actually strong enough to catch his Heaven Smiting Sword with his bare hands.
Facing Yun Che's sword, which was obviously more powerful than the previous one, Luo Changsheng remained motionless and directly reached out to grab it.
Bang!
The sound of the collision was still extremely dull. Luo Changsheng directly grabbed the Heaven Smiting Sword in his hand. The tyrannical sword power at that moment was like being imprisoned in a cage where one could not struggle. Before it could explode, it quickly disappeared, and the Golden Crow Flames also extinguished layer by layer.
“!!!!” This time, Yun Che was so shocked that he retreated in panic. Then he suddenly exploded, and the Heaven Smiting Sword swept across with overwhelming pressure once again.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang...
Yun Che's sword strikes were more ferocious and violent than the last, and the flaming flames ignited a larger and larger fire zone around him. However, despite the continuous bombardment of the sword and the raging golden flames, Luo Changsheng's body remained fixed in the distance without even a single step of deviation. Every strike of Yun Che was blocked by his bare left hand, and not a single sword might or golden flame touched his body. Only his long hair fluttered freely.
His right hand was always behind his back and he never retracted it for even a moment.
“…” All of Yinxue Yanshen’s disciples were petrified and stood there completely. For a long time, no one could utter a single word.
“This is how powerful a Divine King is.” Huo Rulie sighed again, “Yun’er, this is why even though you are already in the late stage of the Divine Realm, I never expected you to become a Divine King before the age of 100. Even if you stay at the peak of the Divine Realm for a hundred years with your talent, I would not be surprised. Because becoming a Divine King is really too difficult.”
"And once you can step into this realm... you will go from being an ordinary person to a king."
“Now, Yun Che himself has also seen the huge gap between him and Luo Changsheng, so it’s time to give up.” Yan Juehai said slowly: “For a not-so-big gap in strength, one can use strategies or some tricks to gain a chance of winning, but this absolute gap cannot be made up by any means.”
Mu Bingyun: “…”
BANG!!
Luo Changsheng swung away another sword with one hand. Yun Che was blown away for a long distance, but he turned around in mid-air and struck down with another sword... However, just as the Heaven Smiting Sword was about to fall, Yun Che's figure suddenly shattered and disappeared, appearing behind Luo Changsheng like a ghost.
“Destroy…the heaven…and…the earth!”
The sword's power surged wildly in an instant, and it slammed into Luo Changsheng's back with a force that could destroy the world.
boom
The sword's might exploded, bringing with it a deafening roar. However, the sword failed to hit Luo Changsheng, but instead touched a layer of pale yellow barrier. The barrier sank slightly, but completely blocked the Heaven Smiting Sword's might, and did not hurt Luo Changsheng at all.
“…” At this moment, Yun Che’s heart and soul seemed to sink into the abyss.
Luo Changsheng slowly turned his head halfway and said slowly: "There is something I should remind you of. As early as two years ago, I could have achieved a breakthrough and become a Divine King."
Yun Che: “…”
"But Master was worried that I was too dazzling and would arouse jealousy, so he placed a restriction on me, forcibly suppressing my profound strength at the peak of the Divine Realm. That's why you were lucky enough to defeat me three days ago." Luo Changsheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of cold hatred flashed across them: "In other words, the reason you were able to defeat me was because I was unable to use my full strength at that time. From the very beginning, you were not worthy of being my opponent!"
As the last word fell, the yellow barrier suddenly exploded, and a terrifying force swept across Yun Che's body.
Yun Che was hit by a heavy hammer and flew out in an instant. When he landed on the ground, his face suddenly turned pale. He forced himself to suppress the blood that was rushing up, but there was still a scarlet blood mark that quickly flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
