That day, the conference concluded. The Councilors who had attended the meeting at the Sky Island Hall were supposed to disperse, but instead, they all remained, as if by unspoken agreement. The void trembled. Nangong Ling, who had vanished without a trace, reappeared atop the Hall. Her tall figure filled out her combat suit, her black trench coat billowing in the wind. Giant metal slabs, supported by anti-gravity devices and trailing fiery plumes, ascended from the White Jade Plaza, rising hundreds of meters into the sky. Within a mere ten seconds, they had assembled into a floating landmass nearly a thousand meters across high above the Sky Island. Simultaneously, silent force fields quietly unfurled, forming a blue light curtain that spread outward, isolating the surrounding cloud layer and the high-altitude sky. "The Military is remarkably efficient. They managed to set up this arena on such short notice." "Heh, who wouldn't want to witness a battle between two Legendary-grade figures?" Amidst the murmurs of curiosity and anticipation, Chen Feng emerged from the Hall. Nangong Ling, standing on the rooftop, met his gaze for a moment before leaping into the air. A pair of silver wings instantly materialized, spanning several meters. With a slight flutter of its wings, the Silver-Masked Ancient Eagle transformed into a streak of light, landing gracefully on the floating arena. "Interesting," Chen Feng thought, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. He wasted no time. A flash of Thunder Light erupted as he shot into the sky. The two figures landed simultaneously at the center of the arena, the silver-gray anti-gravity metal surface perfectly smooth. The cloud layer billowed around them, and the azure sky seemed to stretch endlessly overhead. Finally, the silent force field Barrier slowly closed, completely isolating the two combatants. "Who do you think will win?" "If it's just a friendly spar, it's hard to say. Perhaps Grandmaster Chen?" "I doubt it. Ancient Creatures possess extraordinary abilities, especially the Silver-Masked Ancient Eagle. While Grandmaster Chen is incredibly strong, he might be outmatched in terms of techniques." The hushed discussions of the inner city councilors reached Chu Shihong and Han Chao's ears. They exchanged a knowing glance and smiled faintly, choosing not to argue. The Nanjiang black tide had shown them firsthand just how terrifying Chen Feng's power truly was, especially his unwavering resolve in the face of the Evil God Angel. "I hope they'll keep it civil and not let things get out of hand," Chairman Li Yun sighed, shaking his head. Both were pillars of Feng Province's future, and he didn't want either to get injured or harbor grudges. The Military Security Personnel and the Red Guard behind them remained silent. They had unconsciously projected their respective factions onto the two combatants. In an instant, countless eyes turned skyward, and the scanning devices of numerous aircraft silently activated, eager to record this sparring match. "Let's be clear," Nangong Ling said, her silver wings gleaming like polished metal, reflecting the azure sky. Her short hair cascaded over her shoulders, framing her delicate features and lending her an otherworldly beauty. "If you lose, don't make excuses." "Likewise," Chen Feng replied calmly, his feet planted firmly on the silver-gray metal floor. Their eyes met, each sensing a flicker of curiosity and battle lust in the other's gaze. Nangong Ling vanished in an instant, reappearing before him. The white vapor of her Mach Ring exploded outward, the roar of a sonic boom piercing their ears. Her supersonic movement left a trail of lingering afterimages, like a silver blade slicing through the dense air. The floating barrier rippled with dense concentric waves, and the cloud layer above split in two as if cleaved by a primordial force. A shockwave erupted, but Chen Feng remained rooted to the spot. The sound of friction and sparks erupted simultaneously. Chen Feng's left palm, like a tiger's claw, gripped the silver wing inches from his face. He was about to make a move. The silver wing shuddered, unleashing a surge of power. It violently broke free from his grasp, and Nangong Ling flashed behind him. The resulting gale stirred the cloud layer, causing thousands of steel-hard feathers to converge. Her silver wings transformed, morphing into conical blades that pierced the air a dozen times in an instant. Shu shu shu shu shu!! The dense, piercing sounds of air splitting erupted almost simultaneously, causing dozens of white rings to explode in the air. Yet, despite this relentless assault... Inch by inch, crystal tendrils spread, forming a protective barrier of glazed armor. Golden Qi, radiating a foot from his body, absorbed most of the impact. Clang clang clang clang clang!! Clear, ringing sounds echoed endlessly as sparks erupted from Chen Feng's shoulders and back. The powerful recoil momentarily stunned Nangong Ling, her bright eyes flickering. Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Chen Feng spun around, twisting his waist and clenching his fist. Invisible currents of air, drawn by his breath, coalesced into two white streams that flowed into his nostrils. His chest swelled like an inflated balloon, bulging several times its normal size. Veins stood out prominently, muscles layered upon muscles, and an indescribable sense of oppression instantly filled the entire world. All aircraft Scanning Module data spiked dramatically, like a volcanic eruption. Below, on White Jade Plaza, the crowd's expressions shifted. Then they saw Chen Feng unleash a punch. The earth-shattering explosion echoed endlessly. It was as if the heavens had collapsed. A pillar of white energy shot straight forward, piercing through everything in its path. The Blue Light Barrier was torn open, and the cloud layer above shattered instantly. "What incredible power," Nangong Ling murmured, sliding back dozens of meters from the center of the blast. A look of astonishment flashed across her delicate features. Two long black streaks remained etched on the ground before her, where her silver wings had scraped as she shielded herself. The wings had closed into a circular shield, each feather now dull silver, with a fist-sized dent that was shocking to behold. They had barely managed to withstand the terrifying blow. Chen Feng didn't respond. He simply stood in place, slowly retracting his right arm, which had just fired like a cannon. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝙣𝙚𝙩 So this is the power of a Legendary-grade super ancient creature? Curiosity flickered in his eyes. He had just used Pinnacle Intent, perfectly coordinating and controlling every ounce of his body's power without any leakage or waste. Thousands of tons of explosive force failed to harm the Silver-Masked Ancient Eagle, a testament to its extraordinary nature. The durability of its wings alone rivaled that of rainbow iron. Not to mention its incredible speed and agile reflexes. "If that's the case..." Chen Feng composed himself, suppressing all distractions. Crimson Gold Flames slowly rose from his body. Meeting Nangong Ling's gaze, he clenched his fist, and a Blazing Sun materialized behind him, suspended in the air. "Then we can fight with everything we've got." His aura surged, piercing the clouds. The force field Barrier, still not fully restored, rippled with dense waves of energy. Sensing his soaring battle intent, Nangong Ling's eyes brightened, and she stood her ground without flinching. Silver wings roared as they spread behind her. Ancient silver armor, formed in the blink of an eye, enveloped her body and face. Even her legs transformed, becoming razor-sharp Eagleman claws etched with countless sharp beak-like patterns. Her Eagleman form fully activated. Two figures shot out simultaneously, colliding in midair. A fist print of Scarlet Gold, burning and exploding. Eagle claws of dark silver, tearing through the sky with lightning speed. A storm-like wave of energy erupted, causing cracks to appear in the floating floor beneath them. The sound of cracking echoed continuously until finally— The floating floor shattered completely, and the surrounding Blue Light Barrier was torn apart by the shockwave. The onlookers below watched in stunned silence, their mouths agape. Then, two figures transformed into streaks of light, using the floating debris as leverage to collide again and again. Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! The sound of metal clashing rang out endlessly, their afterimages moving too fast to be captured, exceeding Mach speed. Boom! Boom! Boom! The explosions continued to reverberate, and the Red Guard and military Flying Generals wore grim expressions, instinctively wiping sweat from their brows. They knew that if it were them in the arena, they would have long since been reduced to scrap metal. Just then, the figure with the silver mask and feathered wings was sent flying backward, smashing through one floating fragment after another. The Red Guard's hearts clenched. That was their highest commander in Feng Province. If he lost... Someone snapped back to reality. Chen Feng, standing on a large floating fragment, frowned slightly. Looking up, he saw Nangong Ling move. Her silver wings suddenly stretched out, reaching a span of over ten meters. In an instant, with a flap of her wings, she had soared high into the sky, her back to the blazing sun. Her cold gaze, looking down from above, remained confident. The dent in her silver chest armor, left by Chen Feng's punch, was slowly repairing itself. Strands of golden sunlight cascaded down her short, flowing hair and delicate features, transforming her into a legendary deity wielding the sun itself. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Hundreds, even thousands, of silver feathers shot forth, piercing the air with a blinding, whistling roar. Sonic booms left trails of expanding white vapor rings in their wake, as the overwhelming attack sealed off the entire sky. It surrounded Chen Feng like a torrent of missiles and laser beams. The military flying general's expression darkened. He could clearly see the skyrocketing data reflected on his Scanning Module's internal screen. Each feather moved faster than Mach speed and possessed the hardness of melting-grade rainbow iron. The destructive force of their impact was equivalent to a single shot from a beginner-level Energy Cannon—and there were hundreds, even thousands of them! "Has she really lost her temper?" Chairman Li Yun was equally stunned, never expecting her to unleash such a lethal move. Everyone's expression changed. They wanted to intervene, to stop the sparring match, but the feather storm had already struck its target! Deafening explosions echoed endlessly, shaking the very earth and structures of the Sky Island. Even the Military and Red Guard stationed at the Sky Island's entrance, as well as the Radiant Light Inner City far below, felt the terrifying tremors. Countless eyes turned upward in alarm, casting a pall over the sky. A silver torrent, unstoppable and all-consuming, surged across the heavens, the Silver-Masked Eagleman looming like a second sun. Just as all seemed lost, as someone cried out for rescue... A flame pillar erupted into the sky! The compressed energy of the explosion suddenly unleashed, erupting in a crimson-gold inferno like a volcanic eruption. The silver torrent, which had devoured everything in its path, was torn open, and the temperature on the Sky Island soared. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of feathers were flung backward in unison, piercing through the surrounding floating debris. The rapidly regenerating force field Barrier became riddled with holes, and the White Jade Plaza and Hall below were caught in the blast. Bricks crumbled, stone pillars shattered. Chairman Li Yun and the other inner city councilors paled, dodging repeatedly under the protection of Security Personnel. At the forefront, Nangong Ling, suspended high in the sky, also showed a flicker of surprise. For the first time, a look of genuine shock appeared on her delicate face beneath her silver mask. First and foremost, Nangong Ling, who was suspended high in the sky, visibly paled. For the first time, her delicate features beneath her silver mask revealed a flicker of surprise. 📖Read (MF) on Pa.treon@CinderTL - c578.
