Chapter 1473: Chapter 1456: Kindred Spirits

(Sorry, writer’s block hit me hard, took me forever to finish a Chapter, but I promise there will be no breaks in updates.)

The number of martial artists rushing to watch near Unrivaled Peak was increasing, reaching hundreds of thousands, yet no one noticed the figure releasing demonic qi appearing.

At this moment, the peak battle at Unrivaled Peak was getting more intense.

The void within a hundred miles trembled, with various anomalies engulfing heaven and earth, as the boiling Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi surged forth.

This was the peak collision between two great young Supremes, using their strongest physiques!

From Tie Xue’s body erupted bursts of blazing starlight, resonating with tens of thousands of stars in the heavenly dome, causing terrifying starlight to converge from all directions, enveloping him, with every move he made carrying the power to split the heavens.

Xiao Ye was equally formidable, unleashing the Fourth Layer of the Perfect Dominator Body and True Martial Physique simultaneously. Two completely different divine lights forged the most powerful physique, making his physical body radiate immortal brilliance, with his skin glistening like jade and each bone shining, eternal as one.

He seemed like an ancient ferocious beast, with a powerful physical body, surging blood qi, and a plethora of powerful combat techniques, emerging endlessly from his hands, confronting Tie Xue directly.

Tie Xue possessed a complete Star Battle Body, terrifying in power. This time, with countless stars appearing, his strength multiplied several times over.

If truly calculated, Tie Xue’s current strength definitely reached the level of a Twelve Star Emperor Martial Title.

Twelve Stars!

This was an exceedingly terrifying level!

Looking into the future young generation of the True Spirit Continent, besides Chou Duantian, the future reawakening Young Master of the Ultimate Palace, no other Heavenly Pride has become an Invincible Title Emperor, let alone reached the strength rating of Ten Stars or even Eleven Stars.

As for the Twelve Star Title Emperor, how many could there be throughout the eons of the True Spirit Continent?

This level of strength was definitely on par with a Half-step Emperor, arguably the strongest under the Half Emperor, likely also the extreme strength Emperor Realm Martial Artists could unleash.

Xiao Ye, though initially at a disadvantage, managed to bridge the gap with the dual support of True Martial Physique and Dominator Body, along with the Four Emperor Skills, Emperor-level Battle Techniques, and other trump cards, fighting Tie Xue fiercely, growing stronger as the battle progressed!

After receiving the True Martial Baptism, Xiao Ye transformed entirely, his strength surged rapidly, catching up with Tie Xue.

Buzz!

The terrifying aura enveloping the entire Unrivaled Peak almost shattered, and amidst the roaring Martial Arts Sound, two imposing, phantom figures appeared in the void.

One of these phantom figures looked ordinary but exuded an overbearing aura of supremacy over all heavens and worlds, seemingly treading the entire Heavenly Capital underfoot.

The other phantom figure was a short-haired youth, equally impressive, with a cold demeanor, fiercely charging at the opponent, resembling the peak duel between Tie Xue and Xiao Ye.

This scene, incredibly realistic, bore an air of ancient desolation, as if these two phantom figures were transcending all obstacles to descend upon the world.

"My god, is this... the battle between the Unrivaled Emperor and his strongest opponent back then?"

"Legend has it that that battle was extremely fierce, leaving terrifying Martial Arts Marks at Unrivaled Peak, enveloping it in a terrifying aura for millennia. Unexpectedly, the duel between Tie Xue and Xiao Ye evoked the Martial Arts Marks inscribed within Unrivaled Peak, recreating the scenes of the Unrivaled Emperor’s fierce battle with his opponent centuries ago. It’s truly terrifying."

"It seems one of these two is destined to walk the path of the Unrivaled Emperor."

...

The spectators were all shocked, the sound of sharp inhales resonating throughout.

At this point, whether Xiao Ye or Tie Xue, the strength they displayed was enough to make many among them feel ashamed.

No matter the final outcome of this peak duel, Xiao Ye and Tie Xue would both be the most brilliant geniuses of this era!

"All Heavens Stars!"

At this moment, atop Unrivaled Peak, Tie Xue suddenly raised his palm, where a vast, boundless small universe appeared, pressing down towards Xiao Ye, fierce and swift.

In that instant, the void shattered, with tens of thousands of stars in the sky above shaking, leaving the martial artists watching to hold their breath.

"Wind and Fire Floating Steps!"

Xiao Ye directly deployed an Emperor-level body technique, transforming into a stream of light, narrowly evading Tie Xue’s palm and then pointing at Tie Xue: "Prisoner Heaven Finger!"

Instantly—

Boom!

Strands of terrifying Emperor’s Power spread out, as a vast energy storm interwove, causing a jolt in the hearts of the martial artists watching, as a massive finger light enveloped Tie Xue with overwhelming might.

There’s no denying that obtaining the True Martial Physique bestowed immense benefits on Xiao Ye.

Not only did it transform his physical body, compensating for his martial arts talent’s deficiencies, but it also amplified the power of all his combat techniques.

For instance, even the top Emperor Martial Battle Technique, the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, was deduced and comprehended by him to a Super Perfect realm.

Although the Emperor-level combat technique was profound, Xiao Ye, due to his martial arts realm limitation, hadn’t cultivated it to perfection, yet the True Martial Physique still considerably amplified its power.

These successive displays unleashed unparalleled power, effortlessly annihilating Invincible Title Emperors.

Rumble!

The Prisoner Heaven Finger soared across the sky, instantly unleashing terrifying power, causing even a prodigious genius like Tie Xue to be blasted back several steps in the void, only then stabilizing, leaving the martial artists watching in amazement.

These two great geniuses had fought for so long, yet there was still no clear victor.

"You truly didn’t disappoint me, able to contend with my Star Battle Body."

"But I’ve discovered that the reason you possess such formidable strength, other than your True Martial Physique, largely lies in your cultivation of high-level skills and techniques."

"Your understanding of martial arts, like the Law Profound Mystical Path, is still relatively weak. This is your flaw, which will hinder your progress to higher realms."

Tie Xue’s hair was somewhat disordered, but his eyes remained bright, staring at Xiao Ye, hitting the nail on the head.

"Brother Tie Xue is indeed extraordinary. I have flaws, and you have yours."

"At least, Brother Tie Xue, your cultivation techniques and combat skills are quite rough. A martial artist’s future depends on martial arts insight and talent, but also cannot be separated from skills and techniques. Do you think I’m right?"

Xiao Ye didn’t deny, smiling gently, confronting Tie Xue head-on.

Tie Xue’s martial arts insight was indeed terrifying, far exceeding his, commanding his admiration.

"Haha, it seems you’ve guessed what I wanted to say." Tie Xue laughed with his head raised, unangered by Xiao Ye’s words.

Between Xiao Ye and Tie Xue, there unexpectedly arose a sense of mutual respect.

At this moment, the spectators all looked at each other perplexedly.

These two suddenly ceased their battle and began speaking these inexplicable words. What were they planning?

"Could it be they’re going to..." Only the Half-step Emperor expert Qi Zhan seemed to realize something, entering a state of amazement.
