The Second Battle!

Get out!

Marvin's voice rumbled like rolling thunder, echoing across the entire Holy Altar. Combined with the might of the Reincarnation, it actually left everyone under the protection of the barrier feeling uneasy.

"This Marvin's strength is quite decent. If things go on like this, I'm afraid he will have the qualifications to contend for a Fire Spirit elder seat within a thousand years."

Watching the end of the first round of trials, Second Elder Marin smiled and nodded toward the latter. The strength displayed during their combat was far too formidable compared to ordinary Single Reincarnation stages.

Hmph!

Old rascal Marvin!

A few years ago you were oppressed by our Western Tribe, reduced to a stray dog; what right do you have to bark here today?

Diff reached out to catch the unconscious Allen without even glancing at him, a terrifying aura sweeping out from around his body as he directly matched Marvin's momentum.

Marvin was an unrestrained spirit among the Spirit Clan, but alas, back when the Three Tribes stood in tripartite opposition, he had been cordially invited by the Western Tribe to join them. When the invitation failed, Diff had nearly led a group to assassinate him; if not for Xiao Yi's covert assistance, he would likely have been beheaded long ago. This also caused Marvin to place absolute trust in Xiao Yi's orders.

"Based on you alone, that qualification is still not quite enough."

Hearing this, Marvin's mouth twitched slightly, a rare and gloomy murderous intent diffusing from his gaze.

"Since you're ready."

"Then let it begin."

As the voice fell, the second battle officially commenced.

"Old rascal, you managed to escape by sheer luck last time, but this time this seat will definitely reduce you to ashes!"

A mocking, arrogant smile curled the corners of Diff's mouth, and with a single command, the energy within the entire barrier began to tremble slightly.

"My thoughts exactly!"

Marvin's gaze turned exceptionally cold, veins bulging on his arms as his smiling mouth deepened into a chilling expression. At the same time, he slammed his foot viciously against the void, sending a ring of invisible flame ripples expanding outward. The terrifying high temperature and profound power were enough to make one's heart skip a beat.

Rumble!

Their bodies instantly vanished from the spot, taking a step forward to cross into the center of the altar barrier where they began to fight.

Since both possessed the strength of the First-Reincarnation Stage and were evenly matched, the moment it started, their terrifying Reincarnation might, coupled with the unique power of the Fire Spirits, actually transformed into two meteors that wreaked havoc across the barrier. Wherever they passed, the void hummed, and faint wisps of violent energy ripples spread outward.

"Second Brother, let me go up in a moment."

Watching the two intensely fighting in the arena, Xiao Yi moved closer to Xiao Yan and spoke in a low voice, a deeply worried expression in her tone.

If they lost this election, I'm afraid their situation would...

"No need to rush..."

"That's right, tell me specifically about Princess Qianqin of the Eastern Tribe. I always feel that this fellow's dangerousness might even surpass Alice's."

Xiao Yan's eyes constantly drifted between Alice and Qianqin. Relying solely on his soul power and sense of smell, Xiao Yan was already able to roughly judge the level of danger posed by the two of them.

Whether it was posture or strength, Princess Alice and Princess Qianqin could both be considered truly top-tier figures among the Fire Spirit Clan.

Princess Alice always carried an aura of faint, superior confidence, whereas Princess Qianqin seemed no different from a delicate princess. Yet, based on Xiao Yan's years of combat judgment, he could easily deduce the extraordinary nature of this Princess Qianqin.

Most importantly, the Baxia shell within his own body, along with some of Baxia's power, actually began to leap bizarrely the moment Xiao Yan gazed at Qianqin, a sensation akin to facing a formidable enemy.

"Princess, that human brat behind Lord Xiao Yi seems to be scanning you intentionally or unintentionally. What do you think?"

The two female Reincarnation spirit guards beside Qianqin furrowed their brows, then lowered their voices to speak in her ear.

"It's fine. In any case, between him and me, there will eventually be a battle."

Princess Qianqin smiled faintly, her slender, delicate fingers plucking the strings of her zither as a captivating melody diffused, seeming to hint at something deeper.

"Princess, in my opinion, you are overthinking it."

"Among the three from the Southern Tribe, only Marvin is at the First-Reincarnation Stage, and the other two have yet to step into Reincarnation at all. Even if they hold the renowned Holy Flames of the Great Thousand World in their hands, they are by no means Princess Alice's match."

"What the Princess needs to worry about is how to deal with Princess Alice."

"After all, we have a very high chance of winning this contest."

The female spirit Sami smiled with narrowed eyes, evidently already calculating Qianqin's probability of securing victory.

Princess Qianqin suddenly smiled, then kept her silence with a smile, watching the battle in the sky quietly as if everything were in the palm of her hand.

Only she knew that strong though Alice might be, due to some sort of intuition, she knew the latter was no match for Xiao Yan. After all, Xiao Yan possessed something that made even her First Reincarnation stage strength fearful.

Bang, bang, bang!

Just as everyone's thoughts varied, a series of rapid metal-on-metal collision sounds formed extremely violent waves of Reincarnation power, sweeping out from the altar space. The terrifying, booming echoes of explosions were endless!

Everyone hurriedly raised their heads to look. The entire altar space held a rare sense of blurred distortion, and the culprits were none other than the two experts at the First-Reincarnation Stage!

Thud, thud, thud!

Upon Diff's palm, a brown fire sword bloomed with terrifying heat, while in Marvin's hand, a fire chain was unleashed. The void within a radius of a thousand meters was vaguely distorted by these two forces, and the bursts of humming, explosive sounds in the air shook everyone's minds.

"It seems I must use my trump card!"

Astonishment welled up on Marvin's face. Evidently, this fellow's strength was virtually on par with his own. If things continued like this, it would merely be a waste of time, so he immediately prepared to unleash a full-power strike.

Reincarnation Fire Chain!

With the thought in mind, the Reincarnation Qi inside Marvin surged, pouring out like a tidal wave as the brown flames wrapped unreservedly into a thousand-foot fire chain. A thread of ancient, profound ripples pulsed across the fire chain, and wherever it spread, the void trembled, causing even the heaven and earth energy to dim.

Anyone with discerning eyes could see at a glance that the attack this fellow was now unleashing was worlds apart from the fire chain used against Allen earlier!

Fire Spirit Sword!

Faced with Marvin's full-power strike at this moment, Diff's gaze turned cold as brown flames gushed from his arm like a fountain, imparting an extreme chill to everyone. Countless brown flames then poured into the Fire Spirit Sword, the brilliant brown flames resembling a scorching sun that outlined countless brown patterns while blooming with boundless, searing pressure.

Rumble!

As the two attacks swept downward, the wailing cries of countless living beings rang out. The wildly violent Reincarnation power ravaged the altar barrier, causing the entire barrier to twist and tremble.

"Just who is going to win?!"

Facing such a searing and terrifying collision of energy, the hearts of countless Spirit Clan experts hammered violently, their inner curiosity no longer suppressible!
