On the Hundred Battles Arena. Ling Feng let out a faint laugh as he faced Linghu Yudao, who stood with six inscriptions of different attributes swirling behind him. If it came down to who held more attributes, there was probably no one in this world who could rival him! Linghu Yudao burst into laughter. A cold flash flickered and, at some point, a blade thin as a cicada's wing appeared in his right hand. It was shaped like a willow leaf, curved and slender. Rather than calling it a saber, it looked more like a sharp blade. A saber was meant for force and dominance. A sword often moved with finesse and surprise. Blades were known for their boldness, wide swings, and crushing force. In theory, the heavier and larger the better. Yet Linghu Yudao's blade did the opposite. Ling Feng's eyes grew serious. He knew that, in his current state, defeating Linghu Yudao would be hard. Defeating Linghu Yudao in a single move would be even harder. "Heavenly Secrets Blade!" Linghu Yudao's aura surged like a rainbow. Rules of nature gathered and merged into a giant blade light that spun with five colors. Its presence pressed down like a mountain. A single strike carried the force to crush rivers, shatter mountains, break the stars and split the sun. Its power rumbled forward like a tide devouring the sky. The audience within fifty zhang instantly froze in fear. All of them scrambled back as fast as they could. Those who moved too slowly fell to their knees on the spot. Cold sweat poured from every pore. Some turned pale and lost control of their bodies entirely. And these people were no weaklings. Each was at least in the Transformation Realm or Spiritual Element Realm! Yet facing a single strike from Linghu Yudao, they were so powerless. This alone showed just how terrifying Linghu Yudao's strength had become. "This boy is truly something." Far in the distance, Wang Meng's brows twitched. He sucked in a deep breath. "In twenty years at most, Linghu Yudao will stand at our level!" "He might not even need twenty years." Sun Boce's face tightened. "Once he steps into the king-tier, he will have the power to match us immediately." Wang Meng and Li Qing both gasped. Though Sun Boce held an adviser's position, his true strength surpassed even theirs! If he said so, there was no doubting it. Facing Linghu Yudao's strike head-on, Ling Feng felt a pressure that no onlooker could ever imagine. Even with the Eight Desolations Body Refinement Art and the blessing of Chaotic Power, his powerful physique still trembled under the weight of that overwhelming force. "The rules I command are not inferior to the average king-tier." Linghu Yudao's expression remained calm. "The five elements cycle endlessly. Space shifts freely. I stand above all." "You are no match for me!" A trace of loneliness replaced the fervor in Linghu Yudao's eyes. That solitude which only the heights could bring. "You speak too soon!" Ling Feng gave a faint smile. "Are the five elements yours alone? Is space yours alone?" In the next instant, inscriptions of the five-element attributes and space attribute flickered into life and shone around Ling Feng. Everyone watching felt their eyes twitch wildly. Ling Feng truly was a monster! In the midst of that stunned silence, more inscriptions appeared. Reincarnation attribute! One after another, dazzling the eyes and blurring the senses! Fortunately, the force of his attributes did not yet reach the mastery Linghu Yudao had achieved. Otherwise, Linghu Yudao might not even be qualified to stand against him. Linghu Yudao laughed again. Light blazed in his eyes. He knew now that the man before him truly deserved to be his rival! A rival in every sense! The massive blade energy formed by the Heavenly Secrets Blade swept forward. It carried the force of the five rule-based power, ever flowing, wrapped in the shifting power of space, impossible to predict! Ling Feng drew a deep breath. In that moment, he unleashed the Soul Splitting Art's Soul Dao secret technique. His spiritual consciousness surged at a rate that defied belief! First level: his spiritual consciousness doubled! Second level: it multiplied by four! In just over two months, Ling Feng had pushed the Soul Splitting Art to the fifth level. His spiritual consciousness multiplied thirty-two times over, surpassing king-tier and reaching emperor level! Ling Feng endured what felt like his skull splitting apart. Jaw clenched against the pain, he forced out the words: Compared to before, this was the true Terrifying Gaze. A desperate strike, thrown with everything he had! A terrifying wave of spiritual consciousness burst outward. Down below, the audience stepped back again and again. Even with the protective barrier, they could feel the suffocating dread of that pressure. In the VIP seats, Wang Meng, Li Qing, and the others couldn't stop their eyelids from twitching violently. Their hands trembled uncontrollably. In all of Tianmang Fortress, only the Human Emperors who rarely appeared had ever radiated this depth of spiritual consciousness. Even their commander-in-chief's spiritual consciousness strength was slightly weaker than what Ling Feng now displayed. Was this really a martial practitioner at the Spiritual Element Realm? His spiritual consciousness had reached emperor level! "Emperor-level spiritual consciousness! How did this brat train himself to this point? This is terrifying!" Wang Meng sucked in a sharp breath. He could not even fathom how someone not yet at king-tier could wield spiritual consciousness equal to a Human Emperor. "If he were only a soul cultivator, that would be one thing. But he has refined his body and his energy too!" Li Qing swallowed hard. Watching this, he felt as though everything he knew about the world had begun to crack apart. "This boy must have found some secret art to boost his spiritual consciousness. If I am not mistaken, his soul essence source is at least ten times stronger than ours!" Sun Boce's voice turned solemn. "And that is a conservative guess!" A deep shock filled Wang Meng and Li Qing's eyes. Even Su Dongling found himself at a loss for words. No one could have guessed her daughter's eyes had chosen so well! On the arena, Ling Feng and Linghu Yudao both poured every shred of their strength into this one final clash. Both bet everything on a single move. The Heavenly Secrets Blade roared forward! The Terrifying Gaze tore the sky apart! Two unmatched forces collided at last! The Heavenly Secrets Blade and the Terrifying Gaze crashed together, releasing a surging wave of power. Cracks spread like a spider web across the Hundred Battles Arena, and the air above the stage twisted and shattered. A figure in white and a figure in blue flew backward, blown to the very edge of the platform. Both men stood one step away from falling. Ling Feng withstood Linghu Yudao's strike! This clash ended in a deadlock!
