Chapter 5695: Peak Duel (6)

“Too strong. Although I can’t discern the extent of his divine power, being able to easily defeat Shi Jiu, who possesses 200,000-fold divine power, means he’s probably not weaker than a Universe Master, perhaps even stronger!” Shi Han’s gaze was deep, his tone filled with despair for Shi Jiu.

Fortunately, Jian Wushuang didn’t deliver the killing blow.

Without a doubt, Shi Jiu, being weaker, was doomed.

“We won!” Elder Muchen shifted from despair to excitement.

This time, it was Shi Jiu who felt hopeless!

Today, Jian Wushuang became famous in one battle, not only within the Yue Kingdom but would also be renowned throughout the entire Ancient Wood Continent.

The Heaven-Defying Emperor!

It could even be said that he was the strongest Heaven-Defying Emperor in the entire Ancient Wood Continent.

They simply couldn’t fathom which Emperor could defeat Jian Wushuang now.

Even Princess Jincheng, who harbored some hatred towards Jian Wushuang, deep down believed that Jian Wushuang was undoubtedly the strongest Emperor in the Ancient Wood Continent.

There was no one else.

As for the entire Ancient Moon Spacetime, it was too vast, and they didn’t dare to guarantee anything about it.

But after witnessing Jian Wushuang’s true strength, they also felt that Jian Wushuang could at least rank in the top ten.

The strength described by the rumored nearly invincible High Priest wasn’t much different from Jian Wushuang’s current strength!

Facing Shi Jiu with his 200,000-fold divine power, he easily overwhelmed him.

This level of combat power was no different from that of the Universe Master.

“I’ve lost!” Shi Jiu said despondently.

But his divine power was still rising.

Although he admitted defeat verbally, there was still persistence in his heart. Obviously, he wouldn’t give up easily.

Jian Wushuang landed slowly, walked up unhurriedly, hands casually crossed over his chest, and said, “Actually, you can give up now.”

“I promised her that I would give it my all, even if it meant enduring endless tribulations. I must keep this promise!” Shi Jiu turned to look at Princess Jincheng outside the barrier, his eyes full of tenderness.

But Princess Jincheng’s eyes turned red.

She really wanted Shi Jiu to give up.

Stop pushing yourself like this.

Even if Jian Wushuang didn’t kill him, continuing like this would still lead to certain death.

Even Jian Wushuang was somewhat moved, staring at Shi Jiu’s miserable appearance, reminiscent of the past.

He had been so persistent once too.

But later, he realized that such persistence was futile in this matter.

Only by transforming this kind of persistence into cultivation would there be results.

If Shi Jiu were in the Tribulation Realm, a powerhouse at the level of the Seven Tribulations realm, would he be in such a sorry state?

Who in the Yue Kingdom would dare to stop him?

Within the royal family, the ancestor who founded the Yue Kingdom was nothing more than a feeble Scattered Tribulation expert on the brink of death.

If confronted with a Universe Master at the Seven Tribulation realm, they wouldn’t dare to obstruct, fearing they might even send Jinchen over as a gift.

Though his persistence was misplaced, Jian Wushuang admired Shi Jiu.

“If only I could be as carefree as you!”

But then again…

It was a past best left unexamined!

Jian Wushuang looked up, avoiding eye contact with Shi Jiu, and pretended to be casual, saying, “I will respect you, but don’t think I’ll hold back!”

He was determined to secure a spot in the Sacred Assembly.

Using the Wanliu Divine Tree was his great opportunity.

Across the distant expanse of Starry Sky, there lay a feeble temporal river waiting for him to rescue.

He couldn’t disappoint the hopes of countless people, nor could he afford to be soft-hearted. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Shi Jiu steadied himself, his divine power rapidly increasing. It seemed he was about to use that move.

“Jian Wushuang, I admit you are strong now, stronger than I imagined. But the move I’m about to unleash will cost me my life. Brace yourself!”

Shi Jiu laughed maniacally, a blazing light bursting from his body.

In the light, his eyes glanced one last time at Princess Jinchen of the Yue Kingdom.

It was as if he was bidding farewell.

Jian Wushuang’s expression changed, angrily shouting, “Have you gone mad?”

This was going to be a fight to the death.

And he would be trading his own life for Shi Jiu’s.

In the flickering light, Shi Jiu was left with only one arm, his feet hovering in the air. With a clenched fist, he shouted loudly, “Annihilation!”

Buzz!!!

The space shattered instantly, and Jian Wushuang shielded his face with both hands, bracing himself.

He wasn’t worried about himself.

But Shi Jiu truly didn’t need to do this.

Even if he married into the royal family, he wouldn’t share a room with Jinchen. After participating in the Sacred Assembly, if he could successfully activate the Wanliu Divine Tree, he would most likely flee with Wu Li.

He would return when his strength was formidable enough.

Opening and activating the Wanliu Willow Divine Tree.

On the surface, the Ancient Wood Sect wouldn’t interfere.

But behind the scenes, countless eyes would be watching.

Opening it wasn’t easy; killing and plundering would be much simpler.

So, it was certain he’d have to lay low for a while.

Even if he didn’t hide, he’d leave the Ancient Wood Continent and head to other regions within the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

To find the ten disciples of Qishen Temple who had come with him initially.

Then, they would venture together.

It wasn’t that Jian Wushuang didn’t trust the people in the Ancient Moon Spacetime, but it was unnecessary.

No matter how powerful they were, they wouldn’t travel thousands of miles with him to the temporal river of the Original Universe to save it.

To practitioners in the Ancient Moon Spacetime, that place was remote, with no treasures or opportunities. Who would spend a long time wandering there?

Only those who came from Qishen Temple like them would care about their homeland’s spacetime.

They were all fighting hard!

How could Jian Wushuang dare not to?

His strongest opponent was Mie Sheng, still waiting for him.

A surging force struck, but Jian Wushuang was completely enveloped by the power of the Starry Sky, unafraid!

In his peak state, even if he fought against the Universe Master, he wouldn’t suffer.

“Ah!” Shi Jiu roared to the sky, his hand clenched into a fist, unleashing the power of prohibition, which transformed into annihilation.

Crackling!

The barrier shattered instantly. Empress Fengchen personally intervened, suppressing the violent aura.

But this left Jian Wushuang in a dire situation.

If Shi Jiu’s attack had dispersed completely, it would have been fine. But the range within the barrier was too small, coupled with the empress’s suppression, causing the burst of aura to directly crush the space.

Both Jian Wushuang and Shi Jiu fell into the chaotic flow of spacetime, a colorful world resembling countless mirrors.

“What a lunatic!” Jian Wushuang’s aura surged once again, completely resisting.

Waves of heat struck, but they couldn’t harm him in the slightest.

Jian Wushuang watched the madness consuming Shi Jiu, sighing and shaking his head.

The other’s age might have been much greater than his own, but his state of mind seemed lacking.

He was undeniably bold.

But it had never occurred to him that even if he were to risk everything to change places with him, the royal family would still arrange for someone to marry Princess Jincheng.

Wouldn’t that be benefiting someone else for nothing?

Why go to such lengths?

The terrifying force sweeping over them began to gradually weaken.

Shi Jiu’s physical body began to petrify, cracks appearing on his divine body freezing as they emerged.

His life force had been drained, and what followed would be death.

Once the divine body was done for, the remaining Origin Source wouldn’t be able to withstand such backlash.

This was a spacetime dominated by divine power.

The divine body was the strongest foundation; once it was gone, even keeping the Origin Source would be futile.

Just like Bai Junwang, without the Origin Source, having only the divine body was no different from being useless.
