The Third Match! Kunpeng Battles Xingchen!

That battle had cost Venerable Yuanshi all his dignity.

"Whoosh!"

As he recalled it briefly, Venerable Yuanshi drew a deep breath and muttered to himself:

"Lord of Stars is no weakling, but compared to Kunpeng, it's hard to say who would win!"

On the other side, Jieyin and Zhunti of the Western Teachings both looked grave.

The Western Heavenly Court had lost the previous two contests.

If Kunpeng lost to Lord of Stars as well, the Western Heavenly Court would suffer a crushing humiliation.

Everyone would think there was no future in joining the Western Heavenly Court, and might even regard the Eastern Heavenly Court as the true authority.

Naturally, that was not what Jieyin and Zhunti wanted to see.

"Kunpeng had already reached the Quasi-Saint realm long ago."

"Throughout these endless years, he has devoted himself to studying the Dao of Nirvana in our Western Teachings."

"With his strength, he should have no problem defeating Lord of Stars, right?"

Jieyin spoke quietly.

Meanwhile, in the void,

Lord of Stars and Kunpeng stood facing each other.

After a brief silence, Kunpeng spoke first:

"Fellow Daoist Xingchen, please!"

With that, Kunpeng made the first move!

"Boom!"

His hands formed seals rapidly, while demonic aura and Buddhist light intertwined around him.

"Beiming Swallowing Heaven!"

In an instant, the two forces merged and became a vast black vortex that swept straight toward Lord of Stars.

The vortex contained the swallowing power of the North Abyss and the true meaning of Buddhist nirvana.

Space shattered and spiritual energy was annihilated wherever it passed.

For a moment, it seemed ready to devour everything!

At the sight of this, Lord of Stars remained expressionless. He raised a hand, gathering starlight across the sky.

A closer look revealed a barrier of starlight appearing before him.

"Boom!"

"Bang!"
