"Ling Feng! Ling Feng!..." The entire crowd roared for him. Even though Ling Feng had not defeated Linghu Yudao in a single strike, not a soul dared look down on him now. Everyone knew that Ling Feng was already at the brink of exhaustion, while Linghu Yudao still fought at his peak! Those who had waited with hope in their hearts finally let loose their wildest cheers. The legend of Linghu Yudao, the man who defeated every foe with a single move, had ended tonight. "Ling Feng! Fight! Fight! Fight!" "Defeat Linghu Yudao and you will be the new Calamity God of War!" "No, with that unmatched sword, he should be called the Peerless Sword God!" No one could tell who shouted it first. But in the next breath, countless fists rose high in the air as the arena thundered with the same cry. "Peerless Sword God!" "Peerless Sword God!" The whole place erupted like a festival in full bloom. Tonight would be remembered as the birth of a new legend, a name to echo through history! Linghu Yudao threw back his head and laughed. His eyes burned bright with battle will. His laughter was raw and unrestrained, as if a heavy burden had lifted at last. The rival he had waited so long to meet now stood before him! "At last, I have found you!" Blood ran down the corner of Linghu Yudao's mouth. He had clearly taken a light wound in their last clash. "For almost three years, I have stood alone on the Hundred Battles Arena. No one could match me. No one could break my undefeated streak. Now, I have finally met a foe worth facing!" Linghu Yudao laughed as if there was no one else in the world. His eyes stayed fixed on Ling Feng. Around them, the deafening cheers fell into silence. One by one, people looked at Linghu Yudao with stunned faces. They could not grasp the loneliness that came with standing so high above everyone else. But watching him laugh so wildly, they felt they understood a little more. So this was the truth behind his longing for a worthy rival! So this was the loneliness hidden behind his invincible might! Linghu Yudao lifted his sword across his chest. His aura climbed even higher, pushing his strength to the limit. "Come, defeat me!" He raised his head to the heavens and roared for all to hear. "Come! Strike me down if you can!" Ling Feng met Linghu Yudao's burning eyes and drew a deep breath. He understood this feeling. It was just like the invincible sword demon from the Holy Tianbai Dynasty's history, the man who spent his entire life seeking one defeat. All he wanted was a rival who could finally best him! "Very well. Today, I will grant you defeat!" Ling Feng's aura flared once more. In that moment, he seemed to forget how drained he was. The only thing left in his mind was battle will, raging like fire. Even though his Terrifying Gaze had almost emptied his spiritual consciousness, none of that mattered now. Inside the arena, every spectator held their breath again. This was the true peak of battle! "All five elements at once!" Linghu Yudao's wild laughter rang out as five-colored inscriptions danced around him like dragons. They roared through the air, swallowing wind and clouds, sweeping across the arena like an endless tide. All around them, people stood frozen. Under the turning of the five elements, the very rules of the world seemed to twist and bend. That wind was no mere wind, but the force of rule inscriptions! Those clouds were no true clouds, but the might of heaven and earth! Ling Feng's pupils narrowed. This move carried more than just the terrifying power of rules. There was something deeper in it. A force that did not seem to belong to Linghu Yudao alone. It was a unique will! Just like the trace of spiritual thoughts left in his body by the Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation. It was a power Ling Feng could hardly imagine. A power that only the greatest experts could possess! A flicker of shock rose in Ling Feng's heart. Did Linghu Yudao also carry the mark of a mighty soul left by some unimaginable expert? If Ling Feng could meet the Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation, then on this vast continent, why should it be strange for another monster to gain a similar inheritance? "If you use spiritual will, then so will I!" A faint smile curved Ling Feng's lips. "Senior, it is time for you to perform!" Deep inside Ling Feng's sea of mind, the Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation slowly opened its eyes. Though the first trace of spiritual thoughts had shattered when Ling Feng fought the Great Emperor Tiance, another had been left behind afterward. A golden light flashed through Ling Feng's eyes. A sharper, unstoppable spiritual will burst from him, sweeping across the arena in an instant. That force crushed Linghu Yudao's spiritual will completely. After all, the Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation was no ordinary emperor. He had founded the Holy Tianbai Dynasty and was known as the eternal sovereign of his age! He was the living embodiment of the divine way, a being far beyond the reach of any ordinary great emperor. Linghu Yudao's eyes twitched wildly. For a moment, raw panic flickered in his gaze. "How... how is this possible?" He had thought his final hidden card, the spiritual will left by a great emperor, would sweep aside any rival. Yet here stood Ling Feng, wielding an even more terrifying spiritual will. Linghu Yudao roared and stepped forward without hesitation. Every drop of his elemental force erupted at once. The panic vanished as quickly as it came. What replaced it was a fierce joy. At last, today, he might taste defeat. Power surged from the arena in a violent wave. Those standing too close screamed and spat blood as they fell unconscious from the shock alone. Farther away, Li Qing and Wang Meng moved in a flash. The two king-tier experts joined forces to seal the rampaging power. Wang Meng shouted at the top of his lungs. "Everyone, fall back three hundred zhang!" The combined might of two king-tier experts pushed back with devastating rule-based power to hold the storm in check. These two stood in the Spiritual Sea Realm, where the inscriptions of rule had been refined countless times. Compared to the embryonic rule-based power grasped by Spiritual Element Realm warriors, theirs was hundreds of times stronger. Even so, working together, they felt their own vitality churn and their blood boil under the power that Ling Feng and Linghu Yudao had unleashed. "Heavens, is this really a clash at the Spiritual Element Realm?" Tie Wushuang clenched his fists so tightly they shook. He had always known Ling Feng stood ahead of him, but he could hardly believe the gap could be so vast. "Big Brother is already this strong!" Jiang Xiaofan took a deep breath. In his mind, Ling Feng had become a mountain he could only look up at. Li Bufan also clenched his fists. This goal seemed impossibly high, but only by chasing such a goal could he unlock his true potential. People only found their limits when they were pushed to the edge! Around the arena, countless people sucked in sharp breaths. This was a true monster! A monster born once in a thousand years! Thunder rumbled through the arena. The ground of the stage turned to ash under the crushing force. Two figures shot into the sky. One blade. One sword. They crossed paths in a blur! Metal clashed against metal as light split the air. Sword and blade danced through the sky and slammed back to the earth, then tore into the ground itself. This was a battle so fierce and fast that no eye could follow it for long!
