"Boom, boom, boom!"
Inside the arena at Deathtrap Ridge, the gongs and drums sounded three times.
The three beats signaled the start of the contest.
Within the arena, all four star domains moved at once on the eastern and western battlefields.
The Eastern Star Region launched an all-out assault with its Combined Strike Technique, the Heavenly Stems Battle Formation. Under the formation's enhancement, almost everyone's strength doubled.
Meng Qingwan led the charge. The instant the third beat sounded, she surged forward and swung her sword.
"Long Wind Swordsmanship, Gale Fatal Strike!"
"Boom, boom, boom!"
A slash of sword qi shot from Meng Qingwan's blade. Its vast, razor-sharp force extended hundreds of meters in an instant, sending both Mu Yunsheng and Chen Lili of the Western Star Region flying.
"What a powerful Combined Strike Technique! It can actually unleash this much strength!"
Seeing Meng Qingwan's ferocious attack, Wen Ning of the Western Star Region sounded somewhat surprised. She advanced with her sword and engaged Meng Qingwan.
"Extreme Ice Sword Qi, kill!"
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Their sword qi collided, instantly sending countless waves of sand and shattered rock flying around them.
As one of the formation's main anchors, Zhu Jingxuan, the crown prince of Great Yan, thrust his spear at Guang Hengze of the Western Star Region the moment battle began, bolstered by the combined formation.
"Metal Firmament Tyrant Spear!"
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The fierce spear radiance drove straight ahead, breaking through Guang Hengze's protective true qi.
But Guang Hengze raised a black spirit saber and slashed down, forcibly blocking the spear radiance.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
As Zhu Jingxuan's spear collided with Guang Hengze's saber, a series of explosions instantly rang out across Deathtrap Ridge.
Battle erupted between the Eastern and Western Star Regions in an instant. Zhu Jingxi faced Xuan Minghua
