Blood Li stood in midair, his Blood Robe snapping in the wind and blood mist roiling around him, radiating the terrifying pressure of peak mid True God. His aura was deeper than it had been three years ago. Clearly, he had not been idle either. His gaze swept over the Azure Profound Sect's Mountain Gate, a flicker of killing intent crossing his eyes as the corners of his mouth rose in a confident smile.

Chen Feng and his five hundred men spread out around them, keeping watch.

Blood Li looked at him, surprise flickering in his eyes. He could sense that Lin Feng's aura was completely different from three years ago. It no longer had the insubstantial quality of peak demigod, but the solidity of early True God. That solidity made him feel a trace of pressure.
"You've broken through to True God? Good! I knew I hadn't misjudged you," Blood Li declared. "Three years ago, I said I hoped you would break through to True God. Otherwise, this fight would be no fun. It seems you haven't disappointed me. Those three years I spent waiting for you weren't wasted."
"Enough talk," Lin Feng said. "Make your move. I've waited three years for this day too."
Blood Li smiled,
