Although Li Zhengzhi was outstanding and had been planning for a long time, he had already lost. He lost to Yang Haohan, the previous leader of the Temple Alliance, who didn’t even participate in this year’s Temple Great Competition. Yang Haohan was the truly cunning one!

After receiving Chen Zidian’s confirmation, Yang Haoyu nodded to Long Haochen and said, “Alright, you can put on your equipment now.”

“Thank you, Senior.” Long Haochen nodded, leaped down, and stood on the fine gold base. The armor shimmering with orange-red light instantly covered his body. When he jumped back onto the back of the Divine Unicorn, he held a heavy sword in each hand.

The heavy sword in his left hand shimmered with emerald green light, with white light faintly visible. The heavy sword in his right hand shimmered with golden-red light, with rainbow colors flashing. They were precisely Blue Rain, Light’s Hibiscus, and Aria of the Goddess of Light.

Looking at Long Haochen, who was fully equipped, a trace of appreciation unconsciously appeared in Yang Haoyu’s eyes. He admired Long Haochen’s composure.

If other young people had achieved such accomplishments at Long Haochen’s age, they would definitely develop arrogance. In this Temple Great Competition, in front of so many powerful figures, Yang Haoyu proposed that he wear his equipment to fight. This was undoubtedly a form of contempt towards him. However, after obtaining the permission of the Chief Judge Chen Zidian, Long Haochen calmly put on his equipment without any arrogance or impetuosity. His gaze remained peaceful, and his emotions did not change in the slightest. This composure far exceeded what he should possess at his age.

“Please give me your guidance, Senior.” Long Haochen tapped his left shoulder with Aria of the Goddess of Light in his right hand, indicating to Yang Haoyu.

Yang Haoyu nodded slightly, pointed his two heavy swords diagonally at the ground, and said calmly, “Begin.”

Accompanied by his word “begin,” both of them almost simultaneously shone with light.

Vast golden light burst out from around Long Haochen’s body, and with melodious sounds, it seemed as if it was about to fill the entire Great Trial Field as it did when facing Qiu Yonghao.

However, Yang Haoyu also erupted with brilliant light. It was also golden light, but unlike Long Haochen’s, his golden light manifested in the night sky.

With Yang Haoyu’s body as the center, a large area of space around him transformed into a starry sky. It was as if he had moved the starry sky here. Within this starry sky, there were countless golden light spots, carrying strange spiritual power fluctuations, which forcibly formed a confrontation with Long Haochen’s Domain of the God of Light.

The two domains pushed against each other, further widening the distance between them.

On one side was vast and pure gold, and on the other side was a mysterious and infinite starry sky. After their appearance, the two great domains clearly demarcated their boundaries.

Yang Haoyu’s calm voice sounded, “Your Domain of the God of Light is established based on the Favored One’s affinity and understanding of light. However, my light originates from the starry sky and does not belong to this world, nor is it under the control of the God of Light in this world. Therefore, you cannot deprive me of my light. This is my Star Domain. Take my Starburst Strike.”

As he spoke, Yang Haoyu remained still, and his right-hand heavy sword suddenly rose, pointing towards Long Haochen. Instantly, thousands of starlight beams shot out from his domain, gathered at the tip of his sword, and then transformed into a straight golden light, striking directly at Long Haochen.

Transforming the power of the stars for his own use was Yang Haoyu’s unique Star Law.

The path of that starlight seemed very peaceful, but when it entered Long Haochen’s Domain of the God of Light, it seemed unaffected and reached Long Haochen in an instant.

Long Haochen did not attack head-on. The huge six wings behind him unfolded simultaneously. The Blue Rain, Light’s Hibiscus in his left hand suddenly disappeared, and a small, colorful shield replaced their position, blocking in front of him.

“Ding!” The moment the starlight landed on the Shield of Sun and Moon Divine Snail, it actually made a sound similar to metal clashing.

Long Haochen had already used Divine Guarding Block, but at this moment, he felt as if a star had hit him head-on.

In an instant, the Shield of Sun and Moon Divine Snail shone with a great colorful golden light. It could be clearly seen that a ball of golden light was violently beating at Long Haochen’s chest. It was the Heart of Eternity.

During the battle with Qiu Yonghao, Long Haochen had relied on the Heart of Eternity to knock back his opponent with one punch. And at this moment, each beat of the Heart of Eternity was rapidly restoring his spiritual power, and the colorful golden light on the Shield of Sun and Moon Divine Snail became even more intense.

The Domain of the God of Light turned into circles of golden halos, converging towards Long Haochen’s body. The space within the Great Trial Field actually appeared to be on the verge of collapsing.

On the VIP platform, Chen Zidian, as the Chief Judge, now wore a solemn expression. With him at the head, all the judges were injecting spiritual power into the barrier to maintain its stability.

The starlight finally gradually weakened, and Long Haochen’s body was pressed tightly against the barrier.

What a powerful strike. Long Haochen had used almost all his strength to resist this starlight. He really hadn’t expected Yang Haoyu’s strength to reach such a level. Perhaps he couldn’t compare to the Demon God Emperor, but he was definitely at the level of the Moon Demon God and Star Demon God.

Yang Haoyu smiled slightly and said, “Interesting. This is not your full strength. Let me see where your limit is.”

Within his Star Domain, thousands of stars shone again. He raised both swords simultaneously, drawing mysterious trajectories in the air, and finally transformed the thousands of starlight into nine points. The nine points of starlight rotated in the air, then converged into one, transforming into a flawless white starlight, attacking Long Haochen.

As soon as this white starlight entered the Domain of the God of Light, it immediately caused Long Haochen’s domain to fluctuate violently, as if it wanted to tear his Domain of the God of Light apart.

This strike had the power to change the world.

Long Haochen’s face was very solemn. The Divine Unicorn beneath him let out a long hiss, and a strange seven-colored light was released from its horn, spreading outwards. But Long Haochen didn’t continue to use the shield as before. Instead, he closed his eyes, and the beat of the Heart of Eternity at his chest became significantly more intense.

Amplified by the Divine Unicorn, Long Haochen’s entire body was rendered in seven colors. The fluctuation of the Domain of the God of Light suddenly became strange. The golden light converged and instantly returned to a diameter of ten meters around his body, and pulsed with the beat of the Heart of Eternity. It was as if the entire Domain of the God of Light had become an extension and expansion of his Heart of Eternity.

At the same time, with the ebb and flow of the domains, except for the area of Long Haochen’s contracted Domain of the God of Light, the rest of the Great Trial Field was covered by the Star Domain. It seemed that Long Haochen had been suppressed to the limit.

However, when the white starlight came into contact with this contracted Domain of the God of Light again, it encountered strong resistance. It only penetrated a little before stagnating in the fluctuation of the Domain of the God of Light accompanying the heartbeat. With each fluctuation of the Domain of the God of Light, the white starlight was clearly weakened. The white color on it gradually disappeared, turning into gold, and the gold color gradually faded as well. Finally, it transformed into countless crystalline starlight.

Only at this time did Long Haochen open his eyes, and Aria of the Goddess of Light in his right hand made a forward slashing motion.

“Please also receive a strike from me, Senior.”

Aria of the Goddess of Light instantly turned into a brilliant gold. The golden light that contracted the Domain of the God of Light transformed into rounds of light halos that gathered on it. Long Haochen brought his right hand, and a golden light blade detached from the sword body, slowly flying forward.

The starlight that Yang Haoyu had launched earlier was instantly shattered and scattered. After shattering the starlight, the golden light blade continued to fly forward. In the process, its color actually changed, gradually changing from gold to white. Even more strangely, a melodious sound rang out wherever the light blade passed. The sound gave anyone who heard it a feeling of peace and tranquility. Behind the light blade, even two white wings appeared.

Yang Haoyu’s eyes turned solemn for the first time. He raised his right-hand heavy sword, and all the starlight in the Star Universe lit up.

The white light blade entered the Star Domain almost as soon as it left the Domain of the God of Light, and it didn’t seem to encounter any resistance at all.

A star closest to it shot out a beam of light, landing on the white light blade. A strange scene appeared: after being impacted, the white light blade’s forward speed decreased again, but its volume increased by one point. And the starlight was shattered.

This was the first time Yang Haoyu had encountered this situation. He raised his right-hand heavy sword and drew in the void. Thousands of starlight beams instantly condensed into a huge light blade, slashing at Long Haochen’s seemingly light sword.

The two light blades, whose sizes were completely disproportionate, touched in the air. A magical scene followed.

It seemed that the light blade launched by Long Haochen should have been destroyed instantly, but in reality, a stalemate occurred after the two light blades came into contact.

The two light blades stopped in mid-air at the same time. The huge light blade surrounded by starlight slowly crushed, and the small light blade of Long Haochen slowly retreated. However, in the process of retreating, the small light blade gradually increased in size, while the large light blade gradually shrunk. Moreover, the retreating speed of the small light blade was also gradually decreasing.

“Decompose, break.” Yang Haoyu shouted loudly and swung both swords down at the same time. With a loud bang, the Star Domain shook violently. The starlight blade he launched shattered instantly, transforming into countless starlight beams that burst out. The light blade launched by Long Haochen was also finally shattered by this powerful explosive force, transforming into countless white light beams. But they did not collapse, but quietly flew back and merged into Long Haochen’s Domain of the God of Light.

The sound of a violent heartbeat resounded throughout the entire field. At the moment when the white light was recovered, the Domain of the God of Light launched a counterattack against the Star Domain, pressing the Star Domain back to its original range with astonishing momentum. The situation where each occupied half of the sky reappeared.
