Keeping the Appointment, First Battle Against an Imperial Son

The Eastern Wasteland Northern Region are mostly barren.

Green Flame Ridge is one of these desolate places.

Legend has it that before the Desolate Era, a great battle took place there, and the once picturesque landscape was burned by the Azure Flame, so it was eventually renamed Green Flame Ridge.

An ordinary-looking young man stood quietly in the barren mountains; it was Ji Zi.

Suddenly, he turned his head and looked into the distance, where he saw Zhou Tong flying over from a short distance away.

"You've finally arrived!" Ji Zi exclaimed.

"The son of the Void Great Emperor truly keeps his word!" Zhou Tong nodded.

He had already scouted the area and found that he was the only one there, with no one else present. There were no Dao Pattern or anything like that on the ground, so there was no ambush.

As he spoke, Zhou Tong casually waved his hand, and immediately four members of the Ji Family appeared not far away.

"Zhou Tong, how dare you treat us like this..." As soon as one of the old men regained his freedom, he immediately reached out a large hand to Zhou Tong.

"Puff!"

Zhou Tong didn't even look at him, and slapped him across the face. The old man's body split open and he flew hundreds of feet away.

"You are..." At this moment, the Ji Family Holy Lord looked at Ji Zi, who was opposite Zhou Tong.

That appearance, that demeanor, immediately shook him to his core.

"Little... Little Ancestor!!" The Ji Family Holy Lord immediately bowed in respect.

"What? The Great Emperor's own son?"

"My clan's Imperial Son?"

The other powerful figures from the Ji Family also showed expressions of shock and bowed to Ji Zi.

"As per our agreement, regardless of victory or defeat in this battle, these people are free!" Zhou Tong said calmly. "However, did you bring what I asked for?"

Ji Zi remained silent, then casually flicked her wrist, causing a burst of celestial light to radiate, and various Immortal Material appeared before everyone.

"Dragon Pattern Black Gold, Immortal Tear Green Gold, Dao Tribulation Gold, Phoenix Blood Red Gold, Feathered Green Gold. But why is there only so little?" Zhou Tong frowned, somewhat dissatisfied.

Among this pile of Immortal Material, the Dragon Pattern Black Gold is about the size of a human head, weighing approximately 150,000 jin. It is evident that this is the accumulation of the Ji Family over the past 100,000 years. The amount of Immortal Tear Green Gold is about the same, also representing the accumulation of the Ji Family over the years.

The Dao Tribulation Gold, Phoenix Blood Red Gold, and Feathered Green Gold were clearly weapon fragments, but the quantity was significantly less than Zhou Tong had anticipated.

Among them, the Dao Tribulation Gold is a fragment of two weapons, weighing approximately 300,000 jin; the Phoenix Blood Red Gold weighs approximately 100,000 jin; Feathered Green Gold is also a fragment of two weapons, weighing approximately 240,000 jin.

These fragments weigh approximately 640,000 jin (330 tons), but judging from the marks on them, it is clear that these 640,000 jin of fragments account for about one-tenth of the four Imperial Weapon.

According to Zhou Tong's speculation, there should have been five or six Ancient Supreme who died at the hands of the Void Great Emperor, not just this few Immortal Material.

"That's all. There's nothing I can do if you don't believe me. I can't produce any more Immortal Material!" Ji Zi replied.

"I believe you!" Zhou Tong nodded; he had already figured out the reason.

He remembered that in the original work, there was also a super-large Emperor Formation hidden in the Void Mirror. That Emperor Formation was secretly set up by the Void Great Emperor to deal with the future Dark Turmoil, and was specifically used to kill the Forbidden Zone Supreme.

"The rest of the Immortal Metal must have been used to set up the Emperor Formation ... Even the remaining immortal Immortal Metal was left behind because the Void Great Emperor didn't have enough time to refine the Imperial Dao Laws within it!" Zhou Tong roughly guessed the situation.

Even if the Great Emperor himself were to take action, it would require a great deal of time and effort to completely remove the Imperial Dao Laws from the Imperial Weapon without harming the Immortal Metal itself.

Annihilation Imperial Weapon is not difficult for Great Emperor; the difficulty lies in separating the Imperial Dao Laws and materials.

It's like slaughtering a pig. Slaughtering a pig only requires one cut, but separating every tissue and even every cell of the pig intact is difficult.

The Void Great Emperor must have cleared away some of the Imperial Dao Laws from the fragments of the Imperial Weapon back then, but he didn't have time to refine the rest before going out to fight again...

After all, the Void Great Emperor spent most of his life either fighting or healing. He even orchestrated his own death to kill two Supreme Beings; where would he find the time to do anything else?

It must be said that throughout history, the Void Great Emperor was definitely one of the most tired and suffering Great Emperor.

He was even able to refine a portion of the Imperial Weapon fragments and set up a super-large Emperor Formation, which was already a feat of squeezing out time by all means.

"Fine, since there's nothing left, let's leave it at that!" Zhou Tong didn't say anything more.

Ji Zi also collected these Immortal Material.

"Then, let's start the war!" Zhou Tong roared, causing the surrounding clouds to collapse. He transformed into a streak of purple light and charged forward, immediately unleashing the Kirin Method for a fatal blow, without uttering any more words.

"Boom!!"

Zhou Tong unleashed a punch, Kirin roared, its blood energy surging. The force of his punch tore through the sky, and a lifelike Purple Kirin charged forward with the imprint of his fist.

Ji Zi raised her hand, and a terrifying handprint was unleashed, rolling in like a dark cloud, with terrifying power surging in the Void the Great.

"Boom!!"

As their fists and palms collided, their bodies trembled violently, and endless light burst forth, like two Sun Emperor radiating billions of rays of light, dazzlingly bright and blinding.

"This person is actually able to fight against our clan's Imperial Son?"

"Just who is Zhou Tong? How could he possess such terrifying combat power!"

The very first clash was enough to turn the faces of the Ji Family members watching from a distance pale and cause them to break out in a cold sweat.

Their clash was like two great worlds colliding, with boundless divine light bursting forth, illuminating heaven and earth, shattering the clouds and wind, and causing the sky and earth to crack like porcelain.

This was a truly disastrous scene. The powerful members of the Ji Family who had just been released by Zhou Tong were all retreating, not daring to approach the battle in the arena.

This is hardly a battle between powerful beings; even a battle between kings is nothing more than this!

The powerful figures of the Ji Family were pale and weak. Just watching the battle had almost completely eroded their confidence in the future, dealing them the most severe blow.

"Roar!!"

The Kirin roared, and Zhou Tong's tall figure danced wildly in the Void the Great like a god or a demon. Purple Qi filled the air, heavier than mountains. Every strike was enough to make the heavens and earth tremble. Terrifying purple blood energy spread out, demonic clouds covered the sun, and divine power shattered the entire sky.

Confronting it was a phantom, like wisps of green smoke, with no visible substance, seemingly moving through the Void the Great, as if nothing in this world could stop it.

On one side is a madman, on the other is a phantom, but every collision makes the world shine brightly.

The battle between Zhou Tong and Ji Zi shattered the heavens, like two ancient stars colliding. The aftershocks were widespread, shaking all directions, and the rumbling sounds were incessant.

It was as if two gods were dueling; everything in the world seemed to have vanished Shadowless, and they became the only light in the world.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...

The continuous massive collisions were filled with divine light and battle aura, and terrifying roars echoed endlessly. The Dao Sound resonated throughout the heavens and earth, shaking people's primordial spirits to the point of shattering.

"Boom!!"

With the final strike, Zhou Tong and Ji Zi unleashed a dazzling display of light and a deafening roar. They then temporarily ceased their attack, standing at a distance and silently observing each other.

"As expected of the son of the Void Great Emperor, not bad!" Zhou Tong's voice was calm, but it seemed as if he was looking down on Ji Zi and giving him a light evaluation.

Ji Zi remained silent and did not respond.

Zhou Tong continued, "The pointless probing is over; let's get serious now!"

Upon hearing this, the Ji Family members' expressions changed drastically. Was this level of combat strength merely a test?

He was only at the sixth level of the second Second Layer of Immortal Platform, but his combat power was already more terrifying than those so-called top experts. And this was just a test?

Is this the true prodigy who walks the Emperor's Path?

What about Ji Haoyue, the Divine Body that his family has always been so proud of?

Compared to these two, Ji Haoyue is like a firefly compared to the sun!

Ji Zi was taciturn, but he harbored a fierce ambition. Though he remained silent, his actions spoke volumes.

"Boom!!" Ji Zi was enveloped in a layer of divine light. She slashed down with her Great Tablet Smashing Hand, and a Void Divine Stele appeared, directly suppressing Zhou Tong.

"Roar!!" Zhou Tong unleashed a deafening dragon roar, his blood energy surging and scattering the clouds in all directions, like a purple sun. His divine fist was unparalleled, as if a True Dragon was coiled around it, Void the Great.

"Boom!!"

The Void Divine Stele and the Dragon Fist collided, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to cave in, unleashing an aura of utter Annihilation.

Zhou Tong and Ji Zi were both like flames burning, Zi Xia filled the sky, the purple sun covered the sky, the divine stele suppressed the mountains and rivers, and the Void the Great Annihilation.
