Chong Xuan Zun now clearly displayed restraint, devoid of greed and arrogance. He did not seek to press his advantage in other aspects, but instead tightly clung to this sole point of superiority, relentlessly driving Dou Zhao towards the precipice!

If they were truly pushed to that height where the sun of the mortal realm blazed, Dou Zhao would be the first to be consumed by its heat.

Naturally, the victory would then belong to Chong Xuan Zun!

All upon the observation deck, with heads craned upwards, gazed with fervent anticipation.

They watched the figures of the two peerless prodigies grow ever smaller…

Their line of sight blurred accordingly.

Especially as their backdrop, the scorching sun of the clear sky, made it difficult to behold them directly.

Gradually, many could no longer clearly perceive the battle, seeing only vague human forms, or even merely two black dots…

Inevitably, hushed discussions arose.

“What in the world! Where have they flown to?”

“If they fight somewhere beyond sight, and someone secretly intervenes, how is that to be explained?”

“Can I fly up and follow to watch?”

“How long must we wait here? What if they don’t return?”

Of course, many were merely voicing their frustration at missing the wondrous spectacle. They knew full well that the battle between Dou Zhao and Chong Xuan Zun could not possibly escape True Monarch Yu Xi’s watchful gaze.

There was certainly no question of fighting too far, impacting fairness, or them not returning.

They were either simply complaining or hoping Yu Xi would act, pulling Dou Zhao and Chong Xuan Zun back into view so they could continue their appreciation—though this was, of course, an impossible notion.

Such were the clamorous sounds and miscellaneous noises.

Even extraordinary cultivators could not escape the mundane.

Those capable of discerning the subtlety of the battle were entirely focused, with no leisure to be distracted or noisy.

Jiang Wang, at this moment, had already opened his Qian Yang Pupil.

His left eye transformed into a crimson orb, red light surging, firmly locked onto the figures of Chong Xuan Zun and Dou Zhao.

This was undeniably the most unmissable battle between contemporary Outer Tower prodigies.

He saw—

In the heavens, tens of thousands of *li* high, Dou Zhao was still being relentlessly pushed upwards and accelerated by Chong Xuan Zun.

The very air around them exploded with incessant sound.

The Star-Controlled Chopping God Blade and the Star-Controlled Five Divine Powers Fist clashed fiercely around the two individuals, yet they remained evenly matched, neither able to truly harm the other. They shattered countless streams of light, which then circled the two flying prodigies, as if offering encouragement and cheer.

This astonishing altitude was still confined within the range covered by the Six Harmonies Pillar.

It had also not exceeded the height of the six Supreme Ones’ Dharma Idols.

Even exhausting one’s eyesight, one could not perceive the end of the Six Harmonies Pillar, nor, of course, the faces of the six Supreme Ones.

A corner of a dragon robe was a piece of the sky.

A realization dawned in Jiang Wang’s heart: the “supporting heaven and standing earth” of the Six Harmonies Pillar and the six Supreme Ones’ Dharma Idols was confined to the range of Guan He Platform.

It was not, in truth, propping up the “heaven” of the entire mortal realm.

He could not comprehend the existence of the six Supreme Ones, nor was it clear if they possessed such power.

But evidently, the Six Harmonies Pillar’s act of supporting heaven and standing earth was limited to the area of Guan He Platform. Otherwise, the Six Harmonies Pillar would have been visible in any corner of the mortal realm.

Yet, in reality, only upon stepping onto Guan He Platform could one behold the Six Harmonies Pillar.

His attention had not been focused on this before, thus he hadn’t considered these points.

Now, following the soaring figures of the two combatants, his field of vision continuously rose, allowing him to see more and, involuntarily, to ponder more.

Was this realm an independent heaven and earth? Or was this heaven and earth encompassed within Guan He Platform?

Such profundity, with Jiang Wang’s current cultivation and understanding, was still beyond his grasp.

His sole comprehension was that the present battle’s height, though terrifying, had not truly transcended Guan He Platform.

Even if they flew higher, flew farther, even if they were stirred by the astral winds and hurtled towards the great sun, it was all still within the domain belonging to Guan He Platform.

Truly worthy of being the world’s foremost mighty platform, the great existence eternally suppressing the long river.

The more he understood, the more he recognized the meaning of “greatness.”

The sky dome of Guan He Platform was also the true sky dome.

Thus, when the knife-like astral winds, appearing and disappearing without warning, suddenly swept through, slicing at the battling Dou Zhao and Chong Xuan Zun…

The turning point was nigh.

Because in a peak duel like that between Dou Zhao and Chong Xuan Zun, any slight increase or decrease in power could sway the direction of victory. And in this moment’s circumstances, all external influences were disadvantageous to Dou Zhao.

This was precisely why Dou Zhao had continuously struggled to break free, while Chong Xuan Zun had held him back with such tenacity.

“Unable to witness your fifth divine power, I am deeply regretful.”

With the aid of the Sheng Wen Immortal State, Jiang Wang’s ears caught such a voice.

It was Dou Zhao’s bright and confident voice.

Why would he utter such words?

This truly did not sound like the tone of someone at a disadvantage.

Subsequently came Chong Xuan Zun’s response, proud and composed: “Regret is the privilege of the vanquished.”

“Hahahahaha!” Dou Zhao suddenly burst into wild laughter in the high heavens.

The sound was unrestrained.

His entire person’s momentum shifted dramatically.

From that kind of warm, brilliant state, he became flamboyant and rampant!

His clothes fluttered, his eyes blazed.

Beginning from his knife-wielding hands, a trace of golden color began to spread.

Golden brilliance rapidly “flowed” over his entire body.

His eyebrows, eyes, hair… his body, even his clothes, even the Tian Xiao Knife.

All were covered by a brilliant golden hue.

He was like a scorching sun, rampant and unrestrained.

In that ten thousand *zhang* high sky, Dou Zhao manifested the Dou Zhan Golden Body!

There was a sound of explosion in the extreme heights.

Like muffled thunder rolling over ten thousand *li* of clear sky.

Jiang Wang watched in shock—

In that ten thousand *zhang* high heaven, Chong Xuan Zun, in the state of Five Mansions shining simultaneously, like a god or a demon…

Was actually cleaved downwards by a single strike!
