I Am Really Not The Son of Providence-Chapter 432: Shen Tian Vs. Shi Tianzi!

This was a Small World that Huang Shi had constructed.

Only those recognized by Huang Shi could step into this world. Otherwise, even Sages wouldn’t dare to trespass this place.

Huang Shi was a legendary figure in Middle Ground and even across the five regions. He was known to be invincible for the past thousands of years!

Even someone as talented and powerful as Shi Tianzi was extremely respectful in front of this seemingly ordinary purple-robed man.

He stood respectfully in front of Huang Shi and said, “Imperial Lord, I’ve met Shen Tian before this. Although this kid does have some capabilities, he doesn’t seem to be that amazing!”

...

Huang Shi had issued a special recruitment order to invite Shen Tian into Jixia Academy. He had even said that if Shen Tian was willing, he could personally teach him for a period.

One must know that he was the Imperial Lord of the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty. He was the faith of Shi Tianzi and everyone in the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty.

Even someone as wild and untamed as Shi Tianzi idolized Huang Shi.

When he had first heard that the Imperial Lord was willing to guide him, Shi Tianzi had been so excited that he could not sleep for days.

It was one thing for such an existence to be willing to personally guide Shen Tian, but to first obtain Shen Tian’s opinion?

What do you mean if Shen Tian is willing?

Could it be that this brat was unwilling?

That’s right, Shi Tianzi’s hostility toward Shen Tian was due to this.

Even though Shen Tian had displayed extraordinary talent that far surpassed the other geniuses of the five regions, Shi Tianzi did not think that he was worthy of the Imperial Lord’s favor.

After all, in the 5,000 years since Jixia Academy’s establishment, although there weren’t many peerless geniuses that could match Shen Tian, such people weren’t unheard of.

However, no one had ever been treated with such importance by Imperial Lord Huang Shi like Shen Tian. Even Shi Tianzi dimmed in front of Shen Tian!

Frankly speaking, Shi Tianzi was jealous as the only direct descendant of the Imperial Lord Huang Shi.

A faint smile appeared on Huang Shi’s face. He looked as calm as the wind.

“Shen Tian is not as simple as he seems. His talent is far above yours, and his strength also surpasses yours!”

Shi Tianzi was stunned. He hadn’t expected the Imperial Lord to give Shen Tian such high praise.

One had to know that he was the legendary supreme youth with the strongest talent since the establishment of the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty.

Shi Tianzi had been the center of attention since he was young, and he boasted of being peerless amongst his peers. No one could compete with him!

This was his confidence!

Now that Imperial Lord Huang Shi said he was inferior to Shen Tian, Shi Tianzi naturally wasn’t convinced.

Shi Tianzi said in a fit of pique, “I don’t believe that I cannot suppress a mere Shen Tian with my bare hands.”

Shen Tian’s reputation had spread far and wide. It was said that he had once been invincible against True Sages!

However, for Shi Tianzi, this type of battle accomplishment wasn’t enough to move him!

Moreover, the combat power that Shen Tian had displayed previously was at most comparable to a One Tribulation True Sage. Given that level of strength, he wouldn’t even be able to withstand a single blow from Shi Tianzi.

Shi Tianzi had unparalleled combat strength and had once fought against a True Sage of the Evil Spirit Sect. Wouldn’t it be easy for him to suppress a mere Divine Firmament Saint?

Huang Shi did not speak, only slowly shaking his head.

Shi Tianzi’s aptitude wasn’t bad, but he was too arrogant. This wasn’t good for his future growth.

One had to know that there would always be someone stronger than you. There were many great secrets hidden in the five regions that even he was wary of.

If he was too arrogant and overconfident, it would instead become his own shackles. He would suffer greatly in the future!

At that moment, the void surged, and Shen Tian’s figure suddenly appeared.

The two of them instantly sensed each other, and their gazes converged.

...

Shi Tianzi’s eyes narrowed. He didn’t expect Shen Tian to arrive just as they were talking about him!

Seeing the two of them look over, Shen Tian stepped forward with a smile and cupped his hands respectfully. “Greetings, Imperial Lord Huang Shi!”

Shen Tian’s behavior was refined, neither arrogant nor rash, and he was very polite. After all, the person in front of him was a supreme expert who dominated the five regions and was ranked at the peak.

Even though he looked ordinary, there was no doubt about his strength.

Furthermore, Huang Shi cared about the world and was the guardian of the five regions. He was worthy of respect.

When facing such a peerless expert, Shen Tian naturally wouldn’t be rude.

Actually, the main reason was that he couldn’t win...

“You’re finally here!”

Huang Shi smiled as his gaze gathered on Shen Tian. His face was filled with the kindness of an elder.

However, Shi Tianzi was not happy. The dissatisfaction in his heart was completely displayed on his face.

Shi Tianzi walked up to Shen Tian and said, “Shen Tian, fight me.”

He wanted to fight Shen Tian and see who was stronger and who was weaker.

Shen Tian was stunned. He looked at Shi Tianzi, who was full of fighting spirit, and felt helpless and confused.

What happened to this kid? Why does it seem like he has eaten gunpowder? You want to challenge me to a duel right after meeting me?

Shen Tian shook his head out of courtesy and... the desire to groom him.

“Brother Tianzi, although this isn’t our first time meeting, we can’t just fight whenever we meet!”

Shi Tianzi was slightly taken aback. He hadn’t expected Shen Tian to reject him!

Cultivation was like sailing against the current. Fighting was the best and fastest way for cultivators to improve.

Shi Tianzi didn’t react to Shen Tian’s rejection.

Typically, those who rejected challenges from others were either too strong or disdained challenges from the weak.

Either they were too weak and knew that they were no match for him, or they would be beaten up even if they accepted it.

Shi Tianzi felt that Shen Tian was definitely not the former.

With this thought in mind, Shi Tianzi said calmly, “At most, I’ll suppress my cultivation to your level!”

Fighting at the same cultivation level was fair and just. Shi Tianzi didn’t believe that Shen Tian would reject him like this.

However, Shen Tian still shook his head and refused. “Brother Tianzi, forget it!”

He had always won others over with virtue and hated fighting and killing. This was especially so when faced with those with great providence.

What if he accidentally beat this brat up too badly and caused him to have an opinion about him?

How would he then be supposed to fleece them in the future!?

This was a super Son of Providence, and Shen Tian didn’t want to make a mistake.

With that thought in mind, no matter how much Shi Tianzi ground his lips, Shen Tian shook his head and refused!

Shi Tianzi stomped his feet in anger. He didn’t expect Shen Tian to be so docile and not accept his challenge at all.

If it weren’t for Huang Shi’s presence, he might have charged forward to force Shen Tian to attack.

At that instant, Imperial Lord Huang Shi said smilingly, “Shen Tian, if you win, I’ll give you a Thearch herb!”

Thearch herb?

Shen Tian’s eyes lit up. “Since Brother Tianzi sincerely asks of me to give you a fight, I’m willing to fulfill your wish. Brother Tianzi, I will gladly have a fight with you!”

Shen Tian solemnly looked at Shi Tianzi as if he was moved by his words!

Shi Tianzi, “???”

Didn’t this kid keep rejecting me just now? He even looked like he was afraid of hurting our relationship previously.

I have spent so much effort trying to persuade him, but he never agreed. In the end, when he heard that there was a treasure, he immediately became excited and agreed to have a match with me?

This brat probably didn’t want to compete with me. He is merely aiming for the Thearch herb!

Shi Tianzi’s lips twitched violently.

He had once heard of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus. It seemed like Shen Tian had learned a lot from him!

Shen Tian’s face wasn’t red, and his heart wasn’t pounding. His expression was completely natural.

Yes, I merely want to exchange pointers with Shi Tianzi. It’s definitely not because of a Thearch herb!

I am not affected by treasures~

However, if someone is willing to give it to me for free, I will definitely not stand on ceremony. I don’t even have any stock of Thearch herbs left in my treasury!

...

Shi Tianzi’s expression turned cold upon seeing Shen Tian’s smile.

This kid agreed so readily as if the Thearch herb is going to be given to him for free!

Didn’t you hear clearly? Only by defeating me will there be a reward!

He is simply looking down on me!

Shi Tianzi leaped up and transformed into a beam of divine light that shot into the sky.

“Shen Tian, fight me!” Shi Tianzi roared. He wanted to see how Shen Tian would dare to fight him.

Shen Tian smiled and lightly stepped into the other end of the sky.

Shen Tian smiled and said before making his move, “Brother Tianzi, this can be considered a friendly match. How about we stop when victory is determined? Let’s not fight to kill.”

Shen Tian still hadn’t forgotten his fleecing plan.

“Cut the crap, let’s fight!”

Shi Tianzi was the first to attack. An invincible fist strike blasted out, shaking the heavens!

At that instant, the void shattered.

This seemingly ordinary punch contained a terrifying power that could severely wound or even kill a Sage!

However, when Shi Tianzi’s attack was about to land on Shen Tian, Shen Tian’s figure suddenly disappeared.

Lightning flashed beneath his feet, and his figure was like a swift shadow that transformed into a chilly lightning bolt that instantly appeared on the other side!

Shi Tianzi’s attack directly missed, creating a large hole in the void.

However, he quickly came to his senses and followed up with another fist, aiming at where Shen Tian landed.

Crash!

However, Shi Tianzi’s attack still didn’t hit as Shen Tian was able to use the Electric Shadow Footwork to dodge it.

Damn!

Shi Tianzi’s body trembled slightly. He hadn’t expected Shen Tian’s speed to be so fast that even he was unable to match it!

The Electric Shadow Footwork was known as the fastest in the world. It was comparable to the Kun Peng arts, and its close combat evasion ability was even more extraordinary.

Shen Tian, who possessed the Connate Constitution, had long cultivated this technique to an extremely high realm.

Although Shi Tianzi’s battle prowess was unparalleled, his advantage wasn’t in speed, so he naturally couldn’t catch up to Shen Tian.

Incomparably resplendent divine radiance was outlined in his eyes. Dao law runes crisscrossed as if they wanted to peer into the void.

Shi Tianzi activated his four pupils and saw through all illusions. He even predicted where Shen Tian would land and threw a punch in advance!

Crash!

Another loud bang could be heard.

Shen Tian’s figure finally appeared, his body glowing with lightning as a terrifying phenomenon appeared.

Shi Tianzi’s attack was neutralized in an instant.

“Can you stop hiding? Do you dare to fight against me head-on?”

Shi Tianzi’s lips twitched. He could find Shen Tian’s location. However, it wouldn’t be easy for him to catch up and defeat Shen Tian with his speed!

Unless this space was completely sealed, there was no way for him to hit Shen Tian.

This was the Desolate Void Small World, created by Huang Shi. It was impossible for Shi Tianzi to completely seal space here.

Shi Tianzi gnashed his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do.

Shen Tian’s expression stiffened slightly before a smile appeared on his face. “Why wouldn’t I dare!”

Although he did not like fighting, it did not mean that he was afraid of trouble!

Since the other party was so aggressive, then he would give him a fight!

Shi Tianzi looked up to the sky and roared, “Alright, take this!”

“Fist of Calamity!”

Shi Tianzi’s entire body shone, the Thearch Bone within his body surging with incomparably resplendent radiance.

A magnificent phantom condensed behind him. It was incomparably majestic, like a great emperor of the ancient era looking down on all lifeforms!

The Thearch Bone trembled, and its majestic divine might was unstoppable. It instantly raised Shi Tianzi’s battle prowess to a terrifying level!

With a single punch, a calamity seemed imminent.

All space was instantly crushed into powder while the laws shattered, and it was like the world was about to be obliterated!

The power of this attack was not inferior to that of a strike from a Four Tribulation True Sage!

Shen Tian’s body sank slightly. He could feel a copious force pressing down on him, and the power was extremely shocking!

Even an ordinary Four Tribulation True Sage might not be able to withstand this attack and would be forced back!

However, Shen Tian’s expression didn’t change. He suddenly activated his technique and mobilized the power of the extraordinary items in his body to activate the God of War Transformation.

His entire body emitted a resplendent golden light, and a terrifying divine might burst out like a tidal wave.

His hair danced in the air. Shen Tian’s aura became increasingly terrifying, and his combat strength increased exponentially!

With the augmentation of the God of War Transformation, Shen Tian’s battle prowess increased significantly, and he was now no weaker than Shi Tianzi.

He suddenly waved his hand, and a dazzling light surrounded his arm.

A thousand beams of light, with every beam like the tail light of a comet, flickered with resplendent divine radiance and blasted apart the void!

“Sky-Smashing Palm!”

Divine light radiated from Shen Tian’s hand as if he was holding a dazzling galaxy of stars.

At that moment, he was waving his gigantic hand, and it was as if endless galaxies were crashing down to shatter the mountains and rivers!

Crash!

Divine light trembled, and the world cracked apart!

The Sky-Smashing Palm collided with the Fist of Calamity, causing a heaven-shaking explosion!

If this place wasn’t constructed by Huang Shi and protected by the supreme laws, it would probably have been blasted into pieces.

Their attacks were too terrifying!

Even a Four Tribulation True Sage would be severely injured or even die from either of their attacks.

However, the two of them were merely forced back, and the exchange could be said to be evenly matched.

Shi Tianzi’s body trembled. He didn’t expect Shen Tian’s battle prowess to be so powerful.

However, Shen Tian charged forward again and instantly engaged in a fierce battle with Shi Tianzi!

Shi Tianzi’s divine fist was unparalleled. Dazzling divine light swirled around his fist as it continuously brought with it the power of world destruction.

When he brandished his fist, even the heavens began to tremble. Endless blood essence overflowed into the heavens as if it wanted to shatter mountains and rivers and destroy the stars!

Shen Tian’s body was robust, and golden lightning flashed beneath his feet.

He summoned the Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer with his right hand and unleashed the Heavenly Wilderness 36 Hammers, engaging in a fierce battle with Shi Tianzi!

The enormous hammer didn’t seem to stand out in Shen Tian’s hand at all. Instead, it became incomparably ferocious under the extreme speed boost!

Heavenly Wilderness 36 Hammers—Star Shattering Hammer!

Heavenly Wilderness 36 Hammers—Sun Splitting Hammer!

Heavenly Wilderness 36 Hammers Moon-Lifting Hammer!

...

Every single hammer strike would cause the surrounding space to completely collapse and transform into ruins.

After each hammer, the following strike would have a greater strength!

Instantly, countless cracks appeared in the void.

The void cracks covered heaven and earth, making everything fall into darkness!

The sun and moon lost their color, and the world was devoid of light. It was as if the world couldn’t withstand this power and was about to be torn apart!

Both of them were exceptional heavenly talents. The battle strength they erupted with resonated with heaven and earth, their auras devouring mountains and rivers, their every movement able to shatter the void!

The entire sky was covered by the boundless divine light that was extremely dazzling, and it caused others to be unable to open their eyes.

If there were other people here, they might have long been smashed into minced meat by this divine might, unable to resist at all!

Huang Shi stood tall and divine energy surged around him as if he did not exist in this world.

Nonetheless, his eyes shined as he witnessed the scene before him.

As expected, the young will one day surpass the old!

...

In the dark void, Shi Tianzi’s appearance was exceptional. He was untainted by dust or blood, looking extraordinary and transcendent!

He brandished his divine fist, bringing with it the power of the sun, moon, and stars. His might was vast and boundless as if stars were falling from the sky.

In that instant, a large hole was blasted through the sky, drawing down countless natural laws. The chains of order were even more chaotic to the extreme.

This fist intent was invincible and unstoppable, capable of crushing all enemies!

Shen Tian’s expression was calm. It seemed as if matter how many schemes Shi Tianzi had, he would shatter them all with a hammer!

The Heavenly Wilderness 36 Hammers was a mystic technique that did not belong to this world, so its might was terrifying.

It was enough to pierce through heaven and earth and shatter the void with a swing of the hammer!

Crash!

Another loud explosion could be heard!

Shi Tianzi was finally forced back several dozen steps.

Every step he took caused the void to collapse.

Clearly, the void was already bearing the weight it should not have.

Shen Tian was fine, but the Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer was smashed into pieces during the fight.

The main reason was that Shi Tianzi used the power of his Thearch Bone. His body was incomparably firm, no weaker than a Sage artifact.

The Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer was only a supreme-grade Spirit artifact and naturally could not withstand it.

Shi Tianzi stared at Shen Tian in shock.

Never would he have thought that he had misjudged Shen Tian’s battle prowess.

In this confrontation, he was completely suppressed by Shen Tian.

If the hammer had not shattered, he would have suffered a huge loss.

Shi Tianzi took a deep breath and began to take Shen Tian seriously.

His battle intent burned like a raging inferno as he laughed heartily. “Shen Tian, you’re very strong! I have indeed underestimated you, but you are destined to lose this battle!”

Shi Tianzi spoke up as horrifying power, and divine light burst forth from his body.

The blazing divine light was like a scorching sun that illuminated the heavens and the earth.

An enormous avatar appeared behind him, covering the sky and shaking the heavens!

This was the Avatar of Creation manifested from the elements of earth, water, wind, and fire. It was majestic and imposing as if it was going to evolve into the world of primal chaos.

Shi Tianzi’s battle prowess was unparalleled. His cultivation level had reached Late-Stage Soul Formation, and he was also a Godfiend practitioner and Qi Refinement cultivator.

His body-tempering cultivation had also reached the Mighty Prowess realm. He had transformed his 365 large aperture acupoints and 3,000 small aperture acupoints into divine acupoints, creating the divine skill—Creation Calamity Baptism.

Back then, he had relied on this ability to defeat the True Sage of the Evil Spirit Sect!

When he had unleashed the Creation Calamity Baptism, it was as if heaven and earth were going to be overturned and endless divine might rushed into the heavens!

The sky was immediately stirred by endless divine radiance. Clouds in all directions were blasted apart as if Yin-Yang was going to be reversed and a new world was about to be established.

Shi Tianzi’s aura became incomparably terrifying. His pupils flickered with soul-stirring power, and the light from the Thearch Bone within his body erupted to the limit!

At that moment, he was like a god that controlled the heavens and the earth, intending to punish all living beings!

“Shen Tian, this is my strongest attack! If you can block it, consider it my loss!”

Shi Tianzi had already acknowledged Shen Tian’s strength, but he still refused to admit defeat!

As a renowned paragon, he had an unyielding spirit. Ever since he had appeared in this world, he had been unmatched and invincible among his peers!

How could he be willing to be suppressed?

No matter what, he had to fight Shen Tian!

There can only be one top paragon in the five regions!

That was him—Shi Tianzi!

...

Shen Tian took a deep breath. “Bring it!”

Shi Tianzi’s battle prowess was extraordinary. He was the strongest paragon he had ever met.

Shi Tianzi’s battle prowess was comparable to a Five Tribulation True Sage with the help of his divine ability.

Shen Tian could feel how heavy the pressure was coming from Shi Tianzi. He felt as if stars were falling down upon him from the sky!

“Creation Calamity Baptism!”

Shi Tianzi released a long roar, the aura within his body surging to the limit.

His four pupils immediately erupted with resplendent divine radiance. Countless symbols poured out, forming an incomparably terrifying divine might!

At the same time, dazzling light coiled around the Thearch Bone within his body, and it transformed into golden markings that coiled around his body, once again causing his aura to skyrocket to the extreme!

He was like a king of heaven and earth, about to unleash an earth-shattering attack with a wave of his hand.

Those with the dicoria had always been mysterious and unfathomable and held great divine might. Every generation of those with dicoria was a peak existence that was unrivaled since ancient times!

Meanwhile, not only did Shi Tianzi have the dicoria, but he also had the Thearch Bone. He could be said to be the favored child of the world!

Shi Tianzi, who had amassed such power, had unimaginable power!

Immediately after, he swiftly took action, his eyes shooting out resplendent divine light. It was dazzling to the extreme!

The divine light was mighty and unstoppable, with everything being obliterated wherever it went. It was as if it was carrying out the punishment of the heavens, and it was unstoppable!

Behind him, the Avatar of Creation descended from the sky, suppressing heaven and earth and seeming to exterminate all life!

Shi Tianzi, who had gathered all his strength, had let out a terrifying attack. Even a Five Tribulation True Sage might not be able to withstand this.

Shen Tian’s body trembled slightly as he sensed the terrifying power crashing toward him, threatening to crush him into minced meat!

However, his expression did not change. A purple light flashed in his hand, and the Purple-Green Double Swords appeared.

Shen Tian gripped the swords in his hand and closed his eyes. A terrifying aura suddenly rose from his body!

Clang!

The Purple-Green Double Swords cried out, shaking the nine heavens!

Dazzling divine light shot out of the Purple-Green Double Swords. The light was resplendent, seeming to cover the entirety of the world and making everything pale in comparison.

An incomparably shocking sword intent erupted, rushing into the heavens, straight into the clouds of the nine heavens, as if it wanted to pierce through this world.

Shen Tian slowly moved, waving the two swords in his hands.

The sword energy was light and graceful. It seemed ordinary, but it shot out a blazing divine light.

Surrounded by sword light, Shen Tian was like a peerless Sword Immortal, unleashing his most ferocious attack!

Chi!

The sword slashed out, and a sword beam that went tens of thousands of kilometers could be seen!

The sword qi was vast and mighty like a river of stars, and it descended with awe-inspiring might to invade the heavens and the earth!

In an instant, the void shattered. Countless spatial cracks swallowed up the entire space. Under the peerless sword light, everything was obliterated and completely fell!

This was precisely the Flying Sword Intent. It seemed to cut through the past and present, breaking apart heaven and earth!

Boom!

The shocking sword beam instantaneously shattered the Creation Calamity Baptism that could destroy everything.

Even the Avatar of Creation manifestation behind Shi Tianzi was shattered by the sword and completely exploded.

...

Splat!

Shi Tianzi spat out a mouthful of blood as his body was sent flying back, crashing heavily onto the ground.

His attack had been broken. Even Shi Tianzi couldn’t withstand such a backlash and was instantly defeated!

His white clothes were stained with blood, and his aura was weak. He had clearly suffered a certain degree of injury.

However, Shi Tianzi didn’t care about his injuries. Instead, he stared at Shen Tian in shock.

The power Shen Tian displayed filled his heart with shock and astonishment. Especially that peerless sword beam. Its aura was so terrifying that it made Shi Tianzi’s heart palpitate.

Even his attack was unable to go against it. Its might could be said to be world-shocking.

Only by personally fighting Shen Tian could one sense how terrifying his combat strength was!

This sword strike was simply unprecedented and magnificent.

This was not a sword move from the mortal world because it was impossible for such a sword move to exist in the mortal world.

Until now, Shi Tianzi’s mind was still filled with the invincible heroic bearing of Shen Tian executing that sword move!

That sword strike felt as if it was unleashed by a Sword Immortal that had descended from the heavens, causing all other sword moves in the world to pale in comparison.

It was truly extraordinary and unparalleled!

...

“I’ve lost!” Shi Tianzi mumbled to himself.

He sat on the ground in a daze, doubting his life. This was the first time he had been defeated by someone of the same generation, someone even younger than him.

Frankly speaking, this failure had dealt a huge blow to Shi Tianzi. The arrogance in his body was restrained.

However, in the eyes of Huang Shi, this was not necessarily a bad thing. After all, it was easy to break down from being too unyielding. It was not necessarily a good thing for young people to be too complacent.

...

Meanwhile, Shen Tian also heaved a sigh of relief.

Shi Tianzi’s battle prowess far exceeded Shen Tian’s expectations.

Even after using the Flying Sword Qi, he only barely managed to defeat Shi Tianzi.

As expected of a supreme genius of Middle Ground. His strength was so shocking that he had almost failed to get his reward.
