The final showdown

Purple Emperor sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed, completely focused on clearing his mind and adjusting his state. Although he had just defeated Thunder Flame Emperor, he dared not be careless in the final battle against Zhuge Xiang, who only possessed the strength of a Purple Emperor Asura King. In Purple Emperor's view, Zhuge Xiang posed a threat to him that even surpassed that of Thunder Flame Emperor.

Zhuge Xiang remained silent, also adjusting his own state. The Purple Emperor's victory over the Thunder Flame Emperor Zhuge Xiang somewhat unexpected, but facing the Purple Emperor and that Void Burial technique, Zhuge Xiang wasn't confident he could withstand it. The surrounding space was completely collapsing; how could he defend himself? How could he dodge?

Beams of light appeared on Sole Dominance Mountain. The Sacred War had lasted until now, and there were very few participants left on Sole Dominance Mountain. After all, it was a battle in the Asura Path. Apart from those who surrendered like the Wine Emperor or lost their fighting power, all the others had been killed. Therefore, in the final battle, the Nine Great Emperor used their Divine Ability powers to bring those who had been defeated and died but had been resurrected from the Asura Path to Sole Dominance Mountain.

"The final battle is actually between the Purple Emperor and Zhuge Xiang?" Upon returning to Sole Dominance Mountain, the White Bone Emperor couldn't hide his astonishment upon hearing the news of the two finalists. Zhuge Xiang had actually made it to the final battle? Following the Fox Emperor's words, the gazes of the other resurrected powerhouses also fell upon the Thunder Flame Emperor. Clearly, they hadn't expected that he, the leader of the Five Emperors, wouldn't even make it to the finals and would be defeated. Facing the gazes of these powerhouses, the Thunder Flame Emperor remained silent, only his expression was extremely ugly, and he let out a cold snort.

"Alright, the final battle of the Sacred War. Zhuge Xiang versus Purple Emperor Jing Wuming, begin," the Great Emperor, who was presiding over the Sacred War, announced after a full hour of rest between the two.

The Purple Emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stood up, walking out step by step. His pace wasn't fast, but each step seemed to carry a Profound Mysteries rhythm. With each step, ripples appeared in the space. A dense and powerful Demonic Qi emanated from his body. The Purple Emperor was a powerful figure from the Demon Realm, which was no secret in the Asura Path.

"The championship? I'm determined to have it!" Zhuge Xiang stood up as well, his Essence, Qi, and Spirit fully restored to their peak, his belief unwavering. A single victory would allow him to face the Immortal-Demon Tribulation and enter the Great Accomplishment Stage. With such cultivation, even if he returned to the Cultivation World and was suppressed by the power of Heavenly Dao, Zhuge Xiang believed his strength would be second to none.

Secondly, he had promised Great Emperor Xuan Luo the championship. Although Zhuge Xiang did not consider himself a gentleman, a man of his word should naturally keep his promise.

Finally, the champion will have the right to choose the prize first. The real Demon Artifact? Zhuge Xiang certainly likes it, but Zhuge Xiang values more is the part of the South Heaven Gate. Once he obtains this part, he will have successfully collected most of the parts of the South Heaven Gate.

Although he didn't know what would happen if all the South Heaven Gate were collected and repaired, Zhuge Xiang's intuition told him that the benefits he would gain once the South Heaven Gate were collected and repaired would definitely exceed his imagination.

"The final battle is here. Your strength far exceeds my previous expectations. I am looking forward to this battle." As he stood before Zhuge Xiang, the Purple Emperor's aura had reached its peak, and his eyes were filled with fervent fighting spirit.

"I will win this battle," Zhuge Xiang replied without hesitation to Purple Emperor's words. This single sentence revealed his strong conviction. Whether he was truly speaking to himself or not, Zhuge Xiang was also radiating an intense fighting spirit, ready to meet him head-on.

Whoosh whoosh...

The battle intent emanating from Zhuge Xiang and Purple Emperor clashed, transforming into a super hurricane. Anyone with slightly weaker strength would likely be unable to stand in the face of this storm of their battle intent.

"The Purple Emperor is the most outstanding genius in the thousands of years of our Asura Path, while Zhuge Xiang's talent is even greater than the Purple Emperor's. Both of them have punished the Heavenly Sound War Drum. I wonder who will win this battle, this fierce clash between the two?" The Demon Dragon Emperor stared at Zhuge Xiang and the Purple Emperor with shining eyes, full of anticipation.

"I'm curious too," the Poison Emperor and the others nodded in agreement, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation as they sensed the fighting spirit emanating from the two.

"Husband," Mo Lingna, looking at Zhuge Xiang with a complex mix of worry, pride, and expectation in her eyes, revealing the intricate emotions within her.

"Heavenly Flying Immortal".

Zhuge Xiang made his move, unleashing an incredibly powerful ultimate technique—a flawless sword strike aimed at the Purple Emperor. Although the Heavenly Flying Immortal n't inflict particularly devastating damage, it had previously triggered its effects to instantly kill the Fox Emperor. Therefore, by the same logic, he might also have a chance to instantly kill the Purple Emperor.

"This sword strike is truly the most beautiful Swordsmanship I have ever seen," Purple Emperor said, his eyes also filled with fascination as he watched Zhuge Xiang's noble and elegant sword strike. However, he then spoke, clearly not completely immersed in the Sword Moves.

"Space Distortion," just like when dealing with Thunder Flame Emperor's Flame attack, the Space Distortion around Purple Emperor distorted. Zhuge Xiang's Heavenly Flying Immortal sword still slid towards Purple Emperor, but upon entering the distorted space of Purple Emperor, Zhuge Xiang felt that his sword had not changed, yet there seemed to be an insurmountable chasm between him Purple Emperor, which he could not cross no matter what.

Previously, Thunder Flame Emperor's attack was diverted by Purple Emperor's Space Distortion. Although Zhuge Xiang's attack was strong, it was not necessarily stronger than Thunder Flame Emperor's. Naturally, Zhuge Xiang's Heavenly Flying Immortal sword strike was ineffective.

However, Zhuge Xiang not discouraged at all. On the contrary, he found it unbelievable that a single move like "Heavenly Flying Immortal" could achieve such success.

"Since that's the case! Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect!" The move "Heavenly Flying Immortal" had no effect whatsoever. Zhuge Xiang 'Zhuge Xiang body suddenly changed. His cultivation was about to enter the Great Accomplishment Stage. Once Zhuge Xiang's Heaven and Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect was activated, Demonic Flame soared into the sky. His Nine-Orifice Demon Heart throbbed, sending out countless pure and powerful Demonic Qi that circulated within Zhuge Xiang's body.

"A clever fellow..." Looking at Zhuge Xiang's Hundred Zhang- tall Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect, the Purple Emperor said with a hint of helplessness and admiration in his eyes. As he spoke, he could only follow behind Zhuge Xiang and unfold his own Hundred Zhang- tall Asura True Body to confront him.

"His true form? Why is that?" On Sole Dominance Mountain, many powerful figures looked at each other in bewilderment at Zhuge Xiang's actions.

While it's true that unleashing one's true form, which is Hundred Zhang tall, will increase one's power, that's only at the lower stages. In the Asura Path, most powerful beings can unleash their true forms. Therefore, whether or not to unleash one's true form becomes somewhat pointless. They really don't understand why Zhuge Xiang would unleash his true form to fight. If someone like Purple Emperor did the same, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?

"A clever fellow," however, despite most people's confusion, the Fox Emperor's beautiful eyes were filled with amazement as she said, "Although the Purple Emperor's spatial abilities are strong, the power required to induce spatial changes over a larger area must be even greater. In a battle between his Hundred Zhang- tall true bodies, if he were to mobilize spatial power to fight and form an effective attack, his consumption would definitely be more than a hundred times that of ordinary power."

"I see," the Fox Emperor said, not deliberately lowering his voice. Naturally, all the powerful figures on Sole Dominance Mountain heard him and suddenly understood.

Indeed, for someone of average build, using Space Distortion to deflect Zhuge Xiang's attack would require a much larger area to distort, if the distorted space were only about the height of a person. However, against a true form Hundred Zhang tall, the required distortion range would be significantly greater. In that case, wouldn't the Purple Emperor have to expend more than a hundred times the energy of a normal person to execute spatial techniques?

Unfolding his Asura True Body, the Purple Emperor gazed at Zhuge Xiang. He had to admit that although Zhuge Xiang's choice left Purple Emperor feeling helpless, he also admired Purple Emperor Zhuge Xiang's wit.

"Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword!" Having gained a slight advantage, Zhuge Xiang did not relax. His expression remained solemn as he raised both hands and then pressed them down hard.

A colossal Giant Sword, Hundred Zhang tall, appeared and slammed down on the Purple Emperor, ignoring defenses and forcibly deducting half of his HP. For a powerful being like the Purple Emperor, this was undoubtedly his strongest ultimate move.

"Void Barrier!" Looking at the Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword descending from the sky, the Purple Emperor's eyes were filled with solemnity. This wasn't the first time Zhuge Xiang had used this move during the Sacred War; the Purple Emperor still felt lingering fear at its formidable power. How could he dare allow this move to land on him again?

Before the Purple Emperor, the Void suddenly solidified. The already incredibly solid space, under the Purple Emperor's control, transformed into an indestructible Void Barrier. Although the Purple Emperor and the Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword still existed within the Asura Path, the Void Barrier separated them as if they existed in two different spaces.

"Space? Can it stop my Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword?" Zhuge Xiang smirked as he watched the Purple Emperor's actions. The Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword was a powerful move that could ignore defenses and deal damage equivalent to half of the opponent's HP. How could it be blocked so easily?
