Since ancient times, those who tread the path of the Outer Building realm were already dragons amongst men, phoenixes amongst the common folk.

As for cultivators of the Heavenly Treasury realm, they were a rarity, one in ten million…

Now, two Heavenly Treasury cultivators, who had advanced to grasp the very essence of the Dao, faced each other in mortal combat. Regardless of divine abilities, techniques, cultivation base, or battle prowess, they were the pinnacle of their realm.

One could say this was a battle seldom seen in a thousand years.

Behold the brilliance of clashing divine abilities, witness the surging magnificence of their might!

The entire arena fell silent, no one willing to avert their gaze. To witness this battle was a form of providence!

But for the two combatants, victory and defeat were the sole considerations.

In Chongxuan Zun’s world, the concept of losing did not exist.

As for Jiang Wang, since emerging from seclusion in the Wumengdu Mountain Range, and his eastward return to Great Qi, he had been invincible along the way. Now, he even stood shoulder to shoulder with the Four Buildings, having grasped the Dao itself. Naturally, he was unwilling to yield even a sliver.

Victory and defeat hung in the balance, determined in an instant. It was a full collision of techniques, laws, moves, divine abilities, the Dao, and sheer will. Any minute flaw would be infinitely magnified in this confrontation.

Finally, Jiang Wang felt the immense difficulty!

While the exchange of divine abilities was spectacular, the strong under heaven were not limited to Chongxuan Zun alone.

However, Chongxuan Zun’s physical body held a too-obvious advantage. The back-and-forth of divine abilities would ultimately test the endurance of both sides. Even if one could precisely block the opponent’s every strike and each time target their vital points, the backlash of divine abilities and the accumulation of injuries were still inevitable!

In this extreme confrontation, Chongxuan Zun’s divine soul was consumed slowly, but Jiang Wang’s physical body sustained clear and tangible wounds!

Jiang Wang was tough enough and possessed sufficient will to endure pain, but a wounded physical body would undoubtedly affect overall battle performance.

Continuously mending his insight through twisted divine abilities allowed him to become increasingly sharp in his struggle with Chongxuan Zun. This could be considered a form of “getting stronger” in a certain sense.

But his speed of getting stronger could not keep pace with his speed of weakening.

The saying “what the heart desires, the hand accomplishes” held true for the heart, but the hand could not keep up.

Even more fatally…

Chongxuan Zun’s Star Wheel still held six full opportunities for error correction, allowing him six mistakes.

While Jiang Wang did not even have the chance to make a single error!

Although the battle had progressed to this point without either side making a mistake, Chongxuan Zun had only used his Star Wheel once, in pursuit of seizing the initiative.

But Jiang Wang now held a clear understanding –

If this continued, there was no logical reason for him to win.

He had relied on the exchange of divine abilities to salvage and pull back the situation.

But in the exchange of divine abilities, Chongxuan Zun’s performance was also flawless, pressing forward step by step.

Slight disadvantages, accumulated, would ultimately lead to overall collapse.

Jiang Wang realized he had to make some changes.

But he also understood that this point was a consensus shared with Chongxuan Zun.

Chongxuan Zun had painstakingly relied on the advantage of the first move to push the battle to this stage; how could he willingly allow Jiang Wang to easily escape?

Thus…

Red-gold immortal light veiled all emotions within Jiang Wang’s eyes.

His right hand again struck towards Chongxuan Zun’s face, the killing growth nails in his palm chillingly cold.

His left hand dispersed the Bi Fang seal and pressed outward from a distance.

The human body has the spine as a dragon, capable of leading the eight winds as a tiger.

Locking the Heaven-Piercing Sea, anchoring the cultivator’s body.

This was the Dao technique, Dragon Tiger!

But just as Jiang Wang had prepared for this battle for a long time, how could Chongxuan Zun face him without any preparation?

Initially, at Guanhe Platform, Chongxuan Zun had merely felt some regret at not being able to contend with Jiang Wang in the same realm. This battle today could be considered the fulfillment of that wish. Of course, he was willing to wait for Jiang Wang’s Four Buildings to be complete, to wait for Jiang Wang to grasp the Dao, to wait for the strongest state of Jiang Qingyang.

And at this moment!

His Heavenly Treasury body was firm as a mountain.

Within the Heaven-Piercing Sea, the sun wheel shone brightly.

Within the Five Mansions Sea, the moon wheel hung in the sky.

Within the Hidden Star Sea, the star wheel illuminated the world.

The Heaven-Piercing Sea, the Five Mansions Sea, the Hidden Star Sea – all were unshakable!

Those so-called eight winds had only appeared on the surface of his physical body before being torn to shreds by the surging, chaotic Chongxuan force.

He advanced his body with hardly any influence, suppressing the Dragon Tiger, while Jiang Wang wasted a valuable opportunity in vain!

Just like in the battles of two armies, the moment of greatest killing often appeared when one side collapsed and fled.

Jiang Wang wanted to disengage from the battle; he had to give Chongxuan Zun an opportunity.

Who dared to give Chongxuan Zun an opportunity in battle?

This was the turning point of victory and defeat; he would inevitably seize it!

White clothes like snow flew across; the force of the sun wheel in his hand smashed out! With absolute precision, absolutely not missing, it smashed the killing nail back into a wisp of Buzhou wind.

Such a sharp thing, though its killing force was unmatched, was most afraid of hitting a copper wall or an iron wall, just like an iron hammer striking an iron nail.

Chongxuan Zun had already moved a step closer to Jiang Wang!

At the same time, terrifying Chongxuan force surged from all directions, as if forming a Chongxuan prison, the iron walls closing in from all sides!

The Chongxuan Zun, who had removed the restriction of his divine abilities, mobilized the Chongxuan force in this instant, how many times more powerful than Chongxuan win, a hundred times?

The Wu Yu Smoke Armor on Jiang Wang’s body was almost instantly extinguished.

Shoulders bore ten thousand catties, feet bore ten thousand catties, body bore ten thousand catties!

But even though his body bore the weight of ten thousand catties, Jiang Wang still had… his sword!

The Heavenly Treasury body strongly bore ten thousand catties, and the Wu Yu Smoke Armor extinguished and then rose again.

Heaven and earth suddenly opened a line, the sword of a renowned scholar in distress horizontally chopped onto the sun wheel.

Only a barely perceptible pause… the sun wheel stopped for this brief moment.

Chongxuan Zun then welcomed the most magnificent sword technique storm he had ever seen in his life!

Boundless sword qi had already become threads.

There was also the Acacia Killing Sword like a bright moon rising high.

One only heard the sword whistle shake, sword qi soar, sword light shining in all directions!

Acacia and the sun and moon wheels intersected a hundred times in an instant.

Jiang Wang’s extreme intent and extreme momentum concentrated everything in his sword technique, without the slightest distraction, not even connecting techniques and divine abilities.

Because as long as he paused for a thousandth of a moment, Chongxuan Zun would certainly seize the gap and counterattack.

The Dragon Tiger was an inevitably failed outcome; he waited for Chongxuan Zun to enter his trap, and he would not give Chongxuan Zun a gap!

Within Jiang Wang’s absolute peak sword momentum and sword intent, within the surging roar of the sword technique storm.

Chongxuan Zun either blocked with the sun wheel or chopped with the moon wheel, each time by a hair’s breadth, cutting through the false to reach the true!

But for a time, he could only resist and not counterattack.

Clang clang clang clang clang, continuous striking sounds rose almost like a tide.

Acacia’s sword light completely filled this square heaven and earth.

Jiang Wang attacked non-stop, horizontal strikes, vertical picks, diagonal chops, reverse lifts!

Thus an old general in decline, thus a renowned scholar in distress, thus a body not under one’s control, thus young and frivolous… thus the Human Character Sword!

This path of sword style had evolved to its extreme; the Human Character Sword could no longer be blocked.

Finally, one sword picked open the moon wheel!

The Human Character Sword propped open heaven and earth, naturally transforming into Absolute Peak Tilt!

Heaven and earth initially opened and then closed.

Now, with this sword, the human world was absolute.

Such a tiny, but such a crisp sound.

The brilliant stars floating around Chongxuan Zun’s body shattered another one.

But at the same time the Star Wheel shattered – one only saw starlight flowing down from the sky. Chongxuan Zun’s Holy Building of starlight shone for a moment, brilliantly contending with Jiang Wang’s Beidou Four Buildings.

Outer Building star force gathered divine ability light and condensed into a dazzling giant fist, smashing towards Jiang Wang’s head!

The killing force of the Dao path manifested.

The starlight controlled the five divine ability fist!

At this moment, Jiang Wang had already exhausted the extreme of sword momentum and sword intent, reversing a declining situation to chop apart the Star Wheel; it could not be said that he was not at his peak.

But when he displayed the peak of his sword technique, it was also when he was most unable to defend.

This one fist simply hit a vital point!

It was as if – Chongxuan Zun had precisely used the shattering of this Star Wheel to secure the final victory!

Jiang Wang instantly opened his Fire Realm, but the Fire Realm collapsed on the spot.

He again pressed out Flame Flower Burning City, but Flame Flower Burning City was also bombarded and exploded.

The Disaster Fighting Seal pressed out dim light, but under this terrifying pressure, it could not even form and already scattered.

He wanted to turn his sword momentum again, but his sword momentum and sword intent had already reached their limit.

He desired to withdraw and leave, but Chongxuan Zun’s body techniques were not inferior to his.

This move, the Five Divine Ability Fist, was absolutely not Chongxuan Zun’s strongest killing method, but at this moment, it was the most appropriate, most suitable, most unavoidable, and directly reached its true target!

It seemed as if there was no way to respond.

How should he respond?

People only saw –

Jiang Wang, within the collapsing firelight.

Rise up, welcoming this fist head-on!

His four Holy Buildings all shone; starlight from the edge of the sky shook down, bathing his body.

Through the methods of the star path, he could instantly mobilize star force, far exceeding Chongxuan Zun.

Chongxuan Zun’s starlight was like rain.

His starlight was like a waterfall!

He rushed from the human world to the high sky, seemingly rolling up a river of stars, hanging upside down in the sky.

Terrifying star force gathered into momentum.

Jade light emerged from his ears.

In this instant.

He activated the Voice-Hearing Immortal State.

He activated the Contemplate Self-Ear.

Ten thousand sounds came to Contemplate Self!

The sound of the wind, the sound of the air, the sound of the fist head smashing down… and the “sounds” that originally did not exist, of divine abilities entwining each other!

Those sounds in front were originally the coming of ten thousand sounds, and under the blessing of the Suspended Temple’s top secret technique, the Contemplate Self-Ear, they became more concrete and minute. The “sounds” that were not sounds behind were the hearing traced back by the Contemplate Self-Ear.

The Voice-Hearing Immortal State is the control of sound for nineteen breaths.

The burst of the Contemplate Self-Ear is only for an instant, but it allows him to penetrate subtle checks of truth and understand their fundamental nature.

In the instant state of ten thousand sounds coming to Contemplate Self, he had already penetrated the essence of this one fist.

Facing this starlight-driven Five Divine Ability Fist, his entire body burned with blazing red flames.

This was the Samadhi True Fire!

He met the fist with his body, neither dodging nor avoiding!

The giant fist, gathering starlight and divine ability light, fell down. At the same time it struck his body, it was already nearly infinitely decomposed.

Clearly, it was such a terrifying fist.

Clearly, it was a fist that struck a vital point.

Yet it was like a piece of tofu smashing on a steel knife!

In this instant, Jiang Wang was truly terrifyingly strong.

His entire being was trapped within this giant starlight fist, yet he was unharmed within the fierce flames and instead gained freedom through it.

In a situation already difficult to salvage, he withstood the pressure. In a fundamentally impossible situation, he created the possible!

But beneath that magnificent figure, where red flames soared.

There was a set of white clothes, following like a shadow.

Following a sudden turn, following high into the clouds.

Just as Jiang Wang decomposed that giant starlight fist and suddenly gained freedom.

The sun and moon in Chongxuan Zun’s hands were both pinched and shattered.

In the moment his wide sleeves fluttered, his slender and powerful left hand probed the air. A point of light appeared in his palm.

A point of red light was the sun wheel.

A point of snow light was the moon wheel.

A point of treasure light was the star wheel.

Three points of light lined up.

The sun wheel, moon wheel, and star wheel that had been pinched and shattered in both hands and circled around his body…

Suddenly appeared in his left hand, connected together, the three lights shining as one, reaching the extreme of magnificence!

This was a divine ability knife in the shape of three curved moons connected together. The instant this knife appeared… it seemed to have already cut and injured the eyes of the viewer.

Heaven and earth were without light, because all the brilliance was on the knife body.

It only needed to go forward, because in front was the location of the vital point, the fundamental anchor.

Whether it was the extreme intent of sword technique, or understanding its Samadhi and then burning it.

Jiang Wang never escaped Chongxuan Zun, never!

And at this moment, he had to face Chongxuan Zun’s strongest knife.

This one knife, once magnificent at Guanhe Platform, once forced the nearly invincible Dou Zhao into a draw –

The Sun Moon Star Three Wheels Cut False Knife!

Where was this a knife technique?

This knife was close to the essence of divine abilities, close to the Dao.

This knife absolutely anchored heaven and earth, breaking the foundation of the human body.

Jiang Wang could not block it, Jiang Wang absolutely could not block it.

Even Li Longchuan, whose body possessed the Candle Micro divine ability, made such a clear judgment.

His eyes held hidden worry, for a time difficult to dispel.

There were so many strong individuals present; he did not worry about Jiang Wang’s life and death. But as a friend, he worried about this one knife chopping and shattering Jiang Wang’s “momentum”.

Once Lei Zhanqian single-handedly dominated heaven and earth, his momentum difficult to match, but after being successively frustrated by Jiang Wang and encountering Jiang Wuji’s death, he declined by a thousand li.

Now, in today’s campaign against Xia, he was even unable to enter the field.

Once Wang Yiwu was invincible throughout the army, the first Heaven-Piercing Realm cultivator from ancient times to the present, and in Linzi, he claimed to be invincible in the same realm. But after being defeated by Jiang Wang, people of the world have long not seen his name.

The world knows the first, but who knows the first’s defeated general?

This was momentum, this was hope, this was reputation.

If Jiang Wang were defeated today, how would he be?

Before things happened, no one had an answer. He also did not dare to think!

And facing this one knife himself, how could Jiang Wang not feel its terrifying nature, directly chopping at his life soul?

The moment he saw this one knife, his heart seemed to have already been chopped open.

He himself seemed to have already been decapitated.

His body, soul, heart, and intent all seemed to be torn apart.

He seemed to have already died first, and then seen this one knife.

Within the red-gold immortal eye light, Jiang Wang had no feeling of powerlessness at all.

He saw, he faced.

So simple!

At this moment, Jiang Wang was at the extreme of momentum, the extreme of intent, regardless of sword law, technique law, or divine abilities, all were fully displayed in this peak duel.

At this moment, he had already reached the strongest state of his life up to now.

Then, the sword came!

Thus the star path penetrated, thus the starlight flowed, and then in that distant starry sky, together with the Seven Stars Road, it penetrated the Dao of the Four Buildings… all of everything, merged into the human world Jiang Wang’s palm sword –

Beidou Move Shake!

People saw the distant starry sky manifest the Beidou, as if it were moving.

No, it wasn’t as if.

It was truly moving.

Jiang Wang’s Dao path force, Jiang Wang’s true self Dao.

Jiang Wang merged this one sword, which had penetrated the Dao path, as if shaking the force of the nine heavens. It was an immortal sword flying from the outer heavens, just merging with the human world to contend with Chongxuan Zun’s sharpness!

Chongxuan Zun was truly very strong, truly too strong!

So strong that Jiang Wang had to use this one sword that he fundamentally did not yet grasp or control.

Those four starlight Holy Buildings standing in the distant starry sky were truly moving!

He had already exhausted his greatest possibility to prove his words, “or can match it!”

This one knife that seized all the brilliance of the human world and this one sword that hung down from above the nine heavens had not yet formally intersected, but they had already emptied everything within the space they were in!

Terrifying pressure made all onlookers solemn.

Who could have imagined that this was a duel that could happen at the Outer Building level?

Who wins? Who loses?

The outcome was once again confusing!

And at this moment.

Chongxuan Zun lowered his eyes and said, “I have already seen all the scenery on this road.”

The smile that seemed to be there and not there at the corner of his mouth truly emerged.

He really laughed.

This one smile made heaven and earth lose their color.

This one smile made the human world lose its splendor.

At this moment, he moved from the great earth to the high sky, his left hand grasping that extremely brilliant Sun Moon Star Three Wheels Cut False Knife. He seemed to possess everything, and the world could not possess him.

His person like the moon, his clothes like snow.

Heaven and earth resonated, the resonance of the Dao!

His muscles were mountains and rivers, his blood was rivers.

He was a born cultivation seed, a protagonist destined by fate.

He was born to grasp himself, born to do as he pleased.

He was an existence of absolute generation splendor; today, in front of a myriad of armies, he achieved Divine Arrival!

Heaven and earth were trembling!

He was so magnificent, as if a heaven-destined person.

Standing in this world, he was undoubtedly the center of the human sea.

And this vast promotion, the congratulations of heaven…

Suddenly, it disappeared.

He burst forth with light shining in the human world in an instant and retracted it in an instant, turning into fluttering clothes.

Like a wisp of wind around his sleeve, so gentle, so peaceful.

At the critical moment when the human world knife confronted the nine heavens sword, he said Divine Arrival and just arrived at Divine Arrival, achieving it so easily in one step.

This was a truly absolute person of the world!

Cutting down falsehoods in one’s grasp, what barrier is there to cultivation?

He was still in the low sky, stepping towards the high sky.

He was still in the human world, moving from here to there.

But the Sun Moon Star Three Wheels Cut False Knife in his palm had already disappeared.

But the light in his body also returned to peace.

At this time, why did he need to use a knife again?

Why did he need to rely on divine abilities again?

He calmly walked towards Jiang Wang, both hands empty, directly facing the one sword that hung down from the nine heavens and made people tremble.

All people were watching, and all were expecting –

Expecting whether a miracle would still happen.

Expecting whether it was still possible to see the possible in the impossible.

And Jiang Wang recognized the result even earlier than everyone else.

In an instant, he scattered the vast sky waterfall, hid the Beidou star path, extinguished the Heavenly Treasury wheel light that co-illuminated the Four Holy Buildings… returning his sword to its sheath.

“I lost.” He said seriously.
