Outside Wudi City's sea area, among the newly arrived spectators, Great Grandmasters were no longer rare, and experts of the Three Shattered Realms could be seen from time to time.
Although no new Heavenly Phenomenon Realm powerhouses had appeared, the convergence of numerous Vajra Realm and Finger Profound Realm martial artists had significantly elevated the overall strength of the spectator ranks.
They were either clad in sturdy attire, wielding weapons, exuding an imposing presence; or possessed an extraordinary aura, with sharp eyes, radiating a powerful presence.
With anticipation for this battle of the century, everyone had arrived early, securing advantageous positions, their eyes fixed on the sea, lest they miss any spectacular moment.
However, the moment Wang Ritain and Wang Xianzhi clashed, the terrifying combat aftermath...
Martial artists of lower cultivation levels felt an irresistible force surge towards them, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, legs weakening, making it difficult to stand.
Even when martial artists of the Three Shattered Realms stepped forward to fully block the residual waves, they still penetrated their defenses, causing the faces of those with weaker cultivation to instantly turn pale, cold sweat pouring down like rain.
"This... this is the strength of Wang Xianzhi and Wang Ritain? Just the aftermath of their battle is this terrifying!"
A young Vajra Realm martial artist said, his voice trembling.
"Indeed, such immense power is simply beyond imagination,"
An elder of the Finger Profound Realm beside him sighed, his face grave, shaking his head slightly.
"Fortunately, Wang Ritain didn't display this level of strength when he fought me yesterday. If he had been like this then, I probably wouldn't have been able to withstand even one move," Yu Xinlang muttered to himself, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.
On the sea, Wang Xianzhi was initially parrying Wang Ritain's attacks with one hand, his expression relaxed.
Suddenly, Wang Ritain unleashed his sword energy. A colossal wave of sword energy, like a bolt of lightning, tore across the sky, streaking towards Wang Xianzhi. A flicker of surprise flashed in Wang Xianzhi's eyes as he felt the immense power contained within the sword energy. Without time to think, he quickly raised his right arm, colliding head-on with the sword energy. With a deafening "Boom!", like the sky collapsing and the earth cracking, Wang Xianzhi's sleeve was instantly destroyed, turning into countless fragments that scattered with the wind. A shallow gash appeared on Wang Xianzhi's arm, and a trickle of blood slowly seeped out.
Seeing this, Wang Ritain pressed his advantage, unleashing Sword Twenty-Two. In an instant, countless sword energies poured down like a torrential rain, their sharpness as if capable of slicing everything in the world into pieces. Wang Xianzhi felt the threat of the sword energy; his previously robust true qi was almost torn apart by this fierce onslaught. His expression changed slightly, and with no other choice, he extended both hands, fully engaging Wang Ritain's attack.
This scene shocked the onlookers. For years, Wang Xianzhi had faced numerous challengers, always fighting with one hand, never going all out. Yet now, facing Wang Ritain, he used both hands, demonstrating that Wang Ritain's strength had grown to a point where Wang Xianzhi dared not underestimate him.
"Wang Ritain, to force Wang Xianzhi to use both hands, what level has his strength reached?" a Great Grandmaster exclaimed, his eyes wide with disbelief.
"Indeed, this Wang Ritain is truly impressive," another expert of the Three Shattered Realms nodded slightly, his eyes filled with admiration.
After using both hands, Wang Xianzhi's strength instantly doubled. His hands moved like two dragons churning in the sea, tearing apart each sword energy of Wang Ritain's Sword Twenty-Two. Ferocious true qi churned wildly on the sea's surface, stirring the water as if it were boiling, constantly rolling. Following this, Wang Xianzhi clapped his hands together forcefully, and a colossal water column surged from the sea towards the sky. In mid-air, the water column instantly transformed into a giant water dragon, charging towards Wang Ritain with bared fangs and claws.
Where the water dragon passed, the seawater was pushed aside, forming a wide channel. The water dragon radiated a powerful aura, causing the observing martial artists' legs to weaken, making it almost impossible to stand steady. Deng Tai'a stood amidst the crowd, squinting as he watched the battle on the sea. He nodded slightly and said softly, "Wang Xianzhi, as expected, lives up to his reputation. This 'Pushing the World with Both Palms' ability certainly deserves the title of invincible." In Deng Tai'a's eyes, there was both admiration for Wang Xianzhi's strength and anticipation for Wang Ritain; he wanted to see how Wang Ritain would counter Wang Xianzhi's terrifying attack.
Facing Wang Xianzhi's terrifying assault, the sword energy surrounding Wang Ritain was instantly shattered by the water dragon. Wang Ritain's expression turned grave; he knew that without going all out, he would surely be defeated today. Without further hesitation, he flicked his long sword fiercely, and his golden primordial spirit instantly appeared. In the golden primordial spirit's hand, it held a golden long sword, emitting a dazzling radiance. With the appearance of the golden primordial spirit, a sword energy space enveloped the entire East Sea. The originally surging seawater instantly solidified under the effect of the sword energy space, and the water dragon was frozen in mid-air, unable to move. The golden primordial spirit raised its long sword high, as if to sever Wang Xianzhi's head.
Wang Xianzhi felt the terrifying power of Sword Twenty-Three, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. "A good Sword Twenty-Three, but I fear it will be useless against me," Wang Xianzhi's voice was calm and firm. His state of mind was as unshakeable as a rock, and his Martial Dao Will was immensely powerful. In his opinion, Sword Twenty-Three, though strong, was not enough to defeat him.
Within the sword energy space of Sword Twenty-Three, Wang Xianzhi slowly moved his body. His gaze was resolute, as if nothing could stop him. He walked step by step towards the golden primordial spirit, and with each step, the surrounding sword energy space seemed to suffer a massive impact, emitting cracking sounds. Finally, Wang Xianzhi reached the golden primordial spirit, and he reached out, grabbing the long sword in the golden primordial spirit's hand.
With a "Boom!", a powerful force erupted from Wang Xianzhi's hand. This force instantly destroyed the surrounding sword energy space. Countless sword energies scattered like fireworks. The residual power from Wang Xianzhi spread outwards, creating waves tens of feet high wherever it went. However, Wang Xianzhi remained unharmed, radiating a powerful aura as if he were a celestial being.
Wang Ritain looked at Wang Xianzhi, a hint of unwillingness flashing in his eyes. The long sword in his hand shattered instantly under Wang Xianzhi's power. A trickle of blood seeped from the corner of Wang Ritain's mouth, but his gaze remained resolute. Using his hand as a sword, he swung it fiercely, unleashing a world-destroying sword energy. The sword energy slashed across, knocking down the seawater that Wang Xianzhi had held aloft. The seawater fell like a torrential rain, shrouding the entire sea surface in a mist.
Seeing this, a hint of solemnity flashed in Wang Xianzhi's eyes. He hadn't expected Wang Ritain to unleash such formidable power in such a desperate situation. He no longer held back, fully confronting Wang Ritain. For a time, sword energy crisscrossed the sea, seawater splashed, and the battle between the two reached a fever pitch.
Although Wang Ritain unleashed all his moves and did not defeat Wang Xianzhi, he forced Wang Xianzhi to fight with all his might. This achievement alone was enough to place Wang Ritain on the list of top experts, and at a high rank. Because in the entire martial world, no one could force Wang Xianzhi to fight with such intensity. Xuanyuan Dapan stood in the distance, watching the battle on the sea, his face filled with shock. He knew well that if Wang Ritain continued to grow, he would inevitably become the second Wang Xianzhi, which posed a significant threat to him. "Wang Ritain, you must not be allowed to continue growing. Once this battle ends, it will be your death day," Xuanyuan Dapan vowed inwardly, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.
