The Powerful Zhong Shan

Just as Sima Zongheng's longsword was about to cleave into Zhong Shan, something suddenly appeared above the sword—a jade seal ten zhang in size.

It was the Square Heaven Jade Seal. The instant it pressed down, an Emperor Aura—a presence that suppressed all beneath Heaven—erupted from it.

Sima Zongheng, who was battling Zhong Shan, was startled.

In Sima Zongheng's mind, Zhong Shan's only Great Immortal Artifact was this large saber. But the aura of this jade seal... A terrifying presence bore down, and even Sima Zongheng himself felt an inward tremor.

A Great Immortal Artifact—absolutely a Great Immortal Artifact! Was this jade seal also a Great Immortal Artifact?

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"

The Square Heaven Jade Seal and the longsword collided violently. Upon impact, an incomparably terrifying force struck the longsword. The sword was smashed deep into the earth by that immense power, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

At that moment, Zhong Shan and Sima Zongheng's sabers also collided. Both blades seemed to bring forth a different world—one scorching, the other freezing. As they crashed together, the mountains in all directions exploded into fragments.

Farther away, some areas froze into ice mountains while others turned into lands of magma. Everything in the surrounding area became ruins. Only Daji's tomb behind Zhong Shan remained unchanged.

Their first collision had actually ended in a draw? No. With the longsword driven underground, Sima Zongheng was horrified to discover that he seemed to have lost by a slight margin.

How was that possible? He was only a Heavenly Immortal.

The longsword drilled out of the ground and once more revolved around Sima Zongheng. Sima Zongheng stared coldly at Zhong Shan, never having imagined that this Zhong Shan was so powerful.

Had he been pretending all along? Had he concealed his strength ever since opening Heaven?
