Lu Changsheng vs. Liu Yan

"Hmph! You're just a good-for-nothing who just became an Outer Disciple, yet you're so arrogant. With your strength at the eighth level of Core Condensation Realm?"

Liu Yan laughed in extreme anger.

His eyes were filled with disdain. He hadn't expected Lu Changsheng to dare provoke him; it was indeed quite courageous. It was just too foolish, though, because provoking him would likely come at a heavy price!

What difference was there between someone at the eighth level of Core Condensation Realm and a dog in his eyes?

Boom!

With that, Liu Yan's body trembled violently, and a scorching, majestic crimson spiritual energy surged out like waves of heat. This scorching spiritual energy contained an extremely terrifying temperature, causing the surrounding vegetation to ignite.

Hiss—

The surrounding disciples also retreated in shock and fear. They could clearly feel the surging, scorching spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy within their own bodies felt like it was about to burn uncontrollably!

"What domineering spiritual energy!"

"I heard Liu Yan cultivates the Blazing Sun Art, and his spiritual energy is as domineering as flames!"

"..."

The disciples exclaimed in shock.

Even more terrifying was that the aura emanating from Liu Yan had already reached the first level of the Divine Palace Realm!

Lu Changsheng felt the scorching spiritual energy enveloping him, and a hint of solemnity appeared in his eyes.

This Liu Yan was indeed a powerhouse who had entered the Divine Palace Realm. The mere pressure of the spiritual energy within his body was enough to make Lu Changsheng feel a powerful sense of oppression.

However, there was no fear in his eyes. He took a deep breath, and then circulated the Heaven Swallowing Creation Art within his body, causing a surge of majestic spiritual energy to erupt.

Boom!

Lu Changsheng clenched his fists, releasing his aura at the eighth level of Core Condensation Realm!

"Hmph! Let me show you the vast difference between the eighth level of Core Condensation Realm and the Divine Palace Realm!"

Swish!

As soon as Liu Yan finished speaking, his figure, like a ball of flame, surged towards Lu Changsheng.

A scorching aura instantly covered everything, and a sense of danger arose. Without any hesitation, Lu Changsheng's fists became covered in streaks of lightning.

"Wind Thunder Fist!"

Lu Changsheng shouted in a deep voice, then slammed his lightning-covered fists fiercely towards the ball of flame!

"A mere parlor trick!"

Liu Yan sneered dismissively.

"Sky Burning Palm!"

Boom!

The ball of flame, wrapped in flames, resembled a scorching red palm like a branding iron, striking fiercely against the Wind Thunder Fist.

Bang!

One palm and one fist collided instantly. Lightning and fire clashed violently, creating a scene of intertwined lightning and fire.

However, this head-on collision only lasted for a moment before Lu Changsheng was sent flying back, his back slamming heavily against a large rock, causing the rock to instantly crack.

"As expected of the Divine Palace Realm!"

Lu Changsheng was inwardly shocked.

He had clearly fallen into a disadvantage in this exchange. After all, Liu Yan was a powerhouse in the Divine Palace Realm, and the power he unleashed was far more formidable than his own!

However, Liu Yan clearly had no intention of giving Lu Changsheng a chance to breathe. His figure, like a ball of red flame, whistled forward like a phantom, unleashing streaks of sharp and scorching palm winds.

Bang bang bang!

In an instant, the two figures engaged in a fierce battle. Liu Yan's attacks were incredibly swift. His scorching palms moved like streaks of red afterimages, and his palm strikes came like a storm, constantly attacking Lu Changsheng's vital points.

Facing such an onslaught, Lu Changsheng did not dare to be careless. He circulated the Heaven Swallowing Creation Art within his body, unleashing a surge of majestic and powerful spiritual energy, instantly increasing his strength by more than tenfold!

Boom boom boom!

Lu Changsheng's attacks were as swift and powerful as lightning. He pushed the power of the Wind Thunder Fist to its limit, his fists erupting with terrifying lightning might!

Bang bang bang—

The two figures clashed fiercely, their powerful spiritual energies colliding continuously, causing the air to explode. The energy generated by the collision of spiritual energies surged out like a storm, shattering countless rocks in the surroundings!

"This brat actually has such majestic spiritual energy within him!"

Liu Yan was secretly surprised.

He had originally thought that with his strength at the first level of the Divine Palace Realm, crushing Lu Changsheng would be effortless. However, after the fierce exchange, he finally understood Lu Changsheng's toughness!

This fellow, despite only being at the eighth level of Core Condensation Realm, unleashed a power that even Liu Yan, at the first level of the Divine Palace Realm, couldn't help but be secretly shocked by.

And all of this was due to the Heaven Swallowing Creation Art!

The Heaven Swallowing Creation Art could continuously devour spiritual energy during battle, providing inexhaustible power.

Moreover, the spiritual energy it provided was even more majestic and domineering!

"Raging Waves Palm!"

Boom—

Lu Changsheng clapped his palm, and instantly a powerful palm force, like layers upon layers of giant waves, surged towards Liu Yan.

"Flame Spirit Shield!"

Liu Yan grunted, and flames quickly condensed around him, forming a shield of fire in front of him.

Bang!

The surging palm force waves crashed heavily onto the Flame Spirit Shield.

"Hmph! Your martial art can't break my Flame Spirit Shield!"

Liu Yan said contemptuously.

"Is that so?"

"That's not necessarily true!"

Lu Changsheng smiled faintly.

Boom!

Immediately after, he unleashed the Raging Waves Palm again. However, this time he struck three times in a row.

Three palms stacked!

The Raging Waves Palm's power could be continuously stacked, making the palm force like layers of giant waves piling up, thus doubling its power!

Boom!

In an instant, the Raging Waves Palm with its three stacked strikes unleashed terrifying power. A spiritual energy giant wave several feet high, carrying immense palm force, slammed fiercely into the Flame Spirit Shield.

Bang!

In an instant, the seemingly indestructible Flame Spirit Shield shattered!

"What?!"

Liu Yan retreated several steps in disarray.

He looked astonished. The Flame Spirit Shield he used was difficult for even those in the same Divine Palace Realm to break, yet this brat could shatter it!

What shocked him even more was that Lu Changsheng could actually wield this Yellow-tier martial art to such a degree!

"My goodness, Lu Changsheng is actually fighting Liu Yan to a standstill!"

"This guy is terrifying when he fights..."

"Am I seeing things..."

Suddenly, a commotion arose from the surrounding disciples.

Seeing this, Liu Qingqing stomped her feet in anger, as this was not what she had expected.

She had originally thought that with Liu Yan's realm and strength in the Divine Palace Realm, he would easily crush Lu Changsheng.

But it was clear that she also saw Lu Changsheng was no ordinary person.

"Miss, what's the rush? The Alliance Leader is just warming up,"

one disciple sneered.

"Hmph!"

"Flame Emperor Saber!"

Liu Yan snorted coldly. He lightly clenched his palm, and scorching spiritual energy surged, transforming into a crimson blade in his hand.

As this saber appeared, the surrounding temperature soared, and a sharp saber energy caused the skin to sting. This saber, named the Flame Emperor Saber, was a Yellow-tier seventh-grade magical artifact!

"Today, I will use your blood to consecrate my Flame Emperor Saber!"

Boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yan brandished the Flame Emperor Saber, and streaks of sharp saber energy tore through the void, lunging fiercely at Lu Changsheng
