Chapter 1469: Chapter 1452: Struggle for Supremacy

Above the Heavenly Dome beside Unrivaled Peak, two young figures stood facing each other across the void.

They did not make a move, but instead gazed at each other. All sound and external distractions vanished; within their vision, there was only each other. Their spirit soared to its peak at this moment, bursting forth from their bodies.

Their invincible war intent erupted like a volcanic explosion, shaking Heaven and Earth, colliding like tangible attacks.

This silent collision instantly tore the void apart, causing the entire world to tremble, with visible ripples spreading outward, carrying a howling gale.

However, the two young figures remained like rocks amidst stormy waves, unmoved by the mighty surges around them.

"Only those with strong self-confidence in their abilities possess such war intent. Your response to my challenge in Wuling City proves your prowess," Tie Xue praised, looking at Xiao Ye, full of admiration.

"Likewise, I am intrigued by you. This battle between us is unstoppable," Xiao Ye smiled slightly, his gaze on Tie Xue growing intense.

Reflecting on his cultivation journey, despite having encountered Great Emperors in alternate ways, this was his first true duel with a Great Emperor in their youth.

Before him, Tie Xue was absolutely terrifying, even more formidable than the future Young Palace Master of the Ultimate Palace, Chou Duantian. Just how strong was he would only be revealed in their duel.

Given his current power, only a duel with Tie Xue was worth anticipating for him.

He also wanted to test his full strength through Tie Xue.

In the next moment, they exchanged knowing smiles, both moving in unison, soaring towards the nearby Unrivaled Peak.

These two super-geniuses were about to engage in a showdown, using Unrivaled Peak as their battlefield.

"Xiao Ye and Tie Xue have ascended Unrivaled Peak. Quick, follow them!"

"It’s rumored that after appearing in Wuling City and defeating the Green Dragon Four Brothers and Xu Teng, Xiao Ye secluded himself in a mountain gorge outside the city for cultivation. There, a dazzling golden light prevented anyone from approaching, causing terrifying anomalies. Has he made significant progress? Can he contend with Tie Xue?"

"Tie Xue possesses a physique comparable to True Martial; Xiao Ye doesn’t have a high chance of victory in this duel."

"Regardless of who wins or loses, they’re both stronger than us. Perhaps we can achieve breakthroughs in our own power by watching their duel."

"Unrivaled Peak, where the Unrivaled Emperor once defeated his strongest opponent and broke the shackles of martial arts, is this duel a sign that one of them will become an Unrivaled Emperor?"

...

Martial artists from various factions who came to watch were immediately thrilled, engaging in heated discussions while rising into the air to approach Unrivaled Peak, finding suitable positions to observe the battle.

East State’s top power, the Heavenly God Palace, was the most domineering, directly floating in midair on flying fierce beasts, securing the best vantage point.

"Ha ha, these two interesting lads, if I were born in the same era as them, I’d probably live in their shadow my whole life."

The Half-step Emperor from Ancient East State, Qi Zhan, tall and with disheveled black hair, flew close to Unrivaled Peak and stopped, even forcing the Heavenly God Palace to yield. He stood with arms crossed, a peculiar smile on his face.

Such figures only need one to appear in an era; both appearing in the same era means a destined path to confrontation.

When paths cross, who will emerge victorious?

Even Shen Tu and Guo An’an of the Pure Yang Alliance looked worried.

Young martial artists, like the severely injured Xu Teng and the Green Dragon Four Brothers, clenched their fists, feeling heavy-hearted.

Xiao Ye’s True Martial Physique was far superior to theirs. The longer he cultivated, the wider the gap between them grew.

They no longer qualified to be Xiao Ye’s opponents.

...

Unrivaled Peak stood nearly ten thousand feet tall, piercing the clouds, steep and rugged, shrouded in a terrifying aura.

It’s a legacy from when the Unrivaled Emperor broke the martial arts shackles.

Hua la!

The howling wind swept through like unyielding heroic spirits roaring, as if Unrivaled Peak itself was cheering for the upcoming peak duel.

Many Emperor Martial Realm experts attempted to climb to the summit but exhausted their strength before nearing the top.

But at this moment, Xiao Ye and Tie Xue each chose a direction, climbing towards the summit of the peak, like scaling a Heavenly Ladder, appearing at ease, with graceful, elegant movements.

Hong! Hong! Hong!

With each step they took, their feet landed in the void, creating ripples in the air under the immense pressure, each ripple colliding in the void, triggering explosive sounds. The terrifying vibrations gently shook the cliff face of Unrivaled Peak, as if a giant was attempting to shake it, sending stone shards flying, dust billowing.

"Have these two begun their duel as they climb Unrivaled Peak?"

"Truly monstrous!"

This scene left the observing martial artists dumbfounded, the aura radiating from the scene even leaving young martial artists breathless.

Ordinary Emperor Martial Realm experts couldn’t even reach the summit, yet these two emitted such terrifying aura as they climbed. It was truly frightening.

Rumble!

Rumble!

...

As Xiao Ye and Tie Xue continued their ascent, their aura grew increasingly violent, like two ancient fierce beasts battling, until their figures disappeared into the ethereal mist.

Only those Emperor Martial Realm experts with high cultivation, spreading overwhelming Emperor’s Martial Intent, could observe that Xiao Ye and Tie Xue had reached the peak of Unrivaled Peak in less than an hour.

From the base to the summit, Unrivaled Peak became increasingly steep, with a summit area of only about a hundred meters, like a broad stone platform, marked by the traces of fierce battles and indelible traces of time.

There, a terrifying aura was faintly present, spreading over the peak.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The two young figures arrived almost simultaneously at the summit, with no unnecessary words, then charged towards each other.
