Qitian City, the foremost great city in the Central Continent.

Outside the majestic city walls, which stood thousands of meters high, two figures with extraordinary auras slowly walked into the city, blending with the crowd.

One of them wore a bronze mask and ethereal white robes, walking ahead.

The other, clad in a resplendent green robe, followed behind him.

These two were Jun Wangyou and Li Jianxing, who had just arrived from the Eastern Continent via a teleportation array.

As soon as they entered the city, a middle-aged man in black armor approached them.

"May I ask if you two are Young Master Jun and Young Master Li?"

The middle-aged man in black armor inquired respectfully.

Li Jianxing immediately stepped forward, his gaze wary. "Who are you?"

The middle-aged man in black armor replied respectfully, "This subordinate has been waiting for you two young masters on the orders of the Young Master. Please follow me."

The middle-aged man in black armor made a gesture of invitation and then led the way.

Jun Wangyou and Li Jianxing exchanged a glance and followed him.

Soon, the middle-aged man in black armor brought the two to an incredibly luxurious and magnificent mansion.

Above the mansion's main gate, the large characters 'Qi Family' caught the eye.

After bringing the two here, the figure in black armor departed.

Then, a beautiful maidservant emerged from the mansion.

The maidservant said, neither subservient nor overbearing, "Please follow me, young masters."

"So mysterious, can't you just get it done in one go?"

Li Jianxing muttered, his expression showing a hint of impatience.

"Haha, Brother Li seems to be quite impatient."

A loud voice echoed from within the mansion.

Jun Wangyou and Li Jianxing turned their heads towards the sound and saw Qi Chengxian, clad in a gray and white long robe, walking out of the mansion.

The guards and maidservant at the mansion entrance immediately bowed respectfully upon seeing Qi Chengxian. "Greetings, Young Master."

Qi Chengxian waved his hand. "Your presence is no longer needed here. Go about your business."

"Yes, Young Master."

The maidservant and numerous guards then withdrew.

Qi Chengxian walked up to Jun Wangyou and Li Jianxing, cupped his hands in a salute, and smiled. "Qi Chengxian, greetings Brother Jun and Brother Li."

Jun Wangyou and Li Jianxing returned the salute, looking at Qi Chengxian with puzzled expressions.

Qi Chengxian said, "Senior Meng has already told me about you two. For the next few days, you can choose to stay here with me, or you can stay outside. After ten days, we will gather here, and then Senior Meng and Senior Bai will take us to the Myriad Law Immortal Sect together."

"However, since you two have already arrived, would you allow me to host you as a gesture of local hospitality?"

Qi Chengxian looked at Jun Wangyou and Li Jianxing very politely, his gaze expectant.

If there were anyone else present at this moment, they would surely be astonished to see Qi Chengxian being so courteous to others.

Qi Chengxian had never been so polite to anyone before.

Even towards Lu Xingyun, who was ranked second on the Heavenly Pride List, Qi Chengxian had never been this courteous.

Oh, wait, Lu Xingyun was now third on the Heavenly Pride List.

Jun Wangyou looked at the extremely polite and courteous Qi Chengxian and felt something was amiss, though he couldn't pinpoint what it was.

But since Qi Chengxian had put it this way, refusing would be too impolite.

Moreover, Jun Wangyou was quite interested in this number one on the Heavenly Pride List.

"In that case, we shall impose upon you, Brother Chengxian."

Jun Wangyou said with a smile.

"Hahaha, you're too kind, too kind."

Qi Chengxian, with a face full of smiles, took Jun Wangyou's arm and led him into the mansion.

As for Li Jianxing, he was symbolically ignored by Qi Chengxian.

From beginning to end, Qi Chengxian's sole interest was Jun Wangyou.

Inside the mansion, which resembled a manor, Jun Wangyou and Qi Chengxian walked side-by-side in front, looking very much like a pair of close friends.

Li Jianxing followed behind with a look of dejection.

"Brother Jun is truly extraordinary. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would hardly have imagined that there could be someone in this world like you, with both heaven-defying looks and heaven-defying talent."

"Brother Chengxian flatters me. In this world, strength and cultivation are everything. Looks are fleeting and not worth mentioning at all. It is Brother Chengxian, however, who not only possesses noble status but also has the greatest strength and talent among our generation, making us unable to catch up."

Jun Wangyou said with a slight smile and admiration.

Listening to the two men in front of him praise each other, Li Jianxing behind them rolled his eyes.

"Pah! Shameless bastards."

Soon, Qi Chengxian led the two to the residence prepared for them.

The residence was very quiet and luxurious.

Before leaving, Qi Chengxian suddenly said with some regret:

"Brother Wangyou, what you just said was inaccurate. Although I've crossed hands with everyone in the top ten of the Heavenly Pride Rankings, most of them were no match for me in a single move.

However, Brother Wangyou, I've never fought you before, so this number one ranking seems a bit undeserved.

Your battle in Hundred Battles City especially makes me itch for a fight. I wonder if Brother Wangyou would do me the honor?"

Qi Chengxian looked intently at Jun Wangyou.

Jun Wangyou instantly understood Qi Chengxian's meaning.

Coincidentally, he was also curious about the strength of this number one on the Heavenly Pride Rankings.

As he thought this, a trace of fighting spirit appeared in Jun Wangyou's eyes.

He met Qi Chengxian's gaze.

As if they had a telepathic connection.

Without any wasted words, they both charged into the sky simultaneously.

"Swish!"

"Swish!"

Seeing this, Li Jianxing quickly followed.

This was a true battle between top-tier prodigies. If he missed it, he would regret it for his entire life.

"Whoosh!"

The sky roared. The two passed through the sea of clouds and soon arrived beyond the heavens.

Standing above the vast sea of clouds, they stood a hundred meters apart.

Li Jianxing, who followed later, stood far away, watching excitedly.

"Brother Wangyou, how about we each use three moves? That way, we won't fight with true fury."

Qi Chengxian asked with a slight smile.

Jun Wangyou nodded, "Agreed."

"Then Brother Wangyou, you go first," Qi Chengxian said, raising his hand, his expression quite confident.

Jun Wangyou shook his head slightly, "No need, let's go together."

Qi Chengxian's expression turned serious, "Alright."

Immediately, the two began to gather their strength.

The Nine Heavens Scarlet Fire Sword appeared in Jun Wangyou's hand, its fiery red blade extremely dazzling.

Qi Chengxian also produced a black long saber, its edge sharp, emitting a chilling light that made one's heart palpitate.

Not long after, the two attacked together.

Jun Wangyou had no intention of holding back; his move was a divine ability.

"Sword Slash Azure Sky!"

With a sword strike, the terrifying sword energy seemed to split the very heavens!

Wherever the sword energy passed, space itself distorted.

In the distance, Li Jianxing's expression changed drastically, his heart feeling as if it were being clenched.

This sword strike made him, merely an observer, feel a sense of mortal danger.

Qi Chengxian's expression also changed slightly, but he immediately became excited.

He unleashed a saber strike as well!

"Heaven Destroying Divine Blade!"

In an instant, the entire sky was covered by Qi Chengxian's black saber shadow.

Each saber shadow carried an aura of destruction, and the space also twisted and deformed.

In the distance, Li Jianxing silently retreated a thousand meters.

"Boom!"

The saber and sword collided!

In that instant, the space at the center point shattered.

The spreading shockwave instantly dispersed the sea of clouds.

revealing the blurry outline of a city below.

"Hahaha! Again!"

Qi Chengxian roared with laughter, his gray-white hair flying wildly, looking utterly unhinged.

Jun Wangyou's eyes also lit up, and a boundless fighting spirit surged within him.

To this day, Qi Chengxian was the only peer who could withstand one of his sword strikes.

It was no wonder this person could rank first on the Heavenly Pride Rankings.

In an instant, the two clashed once more!

As for the prior agreement of three moves, it had long been forgotten by both of them.

Before they met, they had always been invincible among their peers.

Among their generation, almost no one could withstand a single move from them.

They were both terrifying monsters who transcended the limitations of their eras.

Now that they had met, it was a meeting of kindred spirits.

A mere three moves were far from enough!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Explosive sounds continuously echoed through the sky!

The figures of the two were like swift lightning, constantly colliding and separating!

But as they fought, Qi Chengxian suddenly felt something was wrong.

He realized that the only thing he could use to suppress Jun Wangyou was his combat skills.

Apart from that, whether it was speed, strength, endurance, or the quality of his spiritual energy, he was weaker than the other.

This made him find it hard to believe.

He had been groomed by Qi Tian Palace since childhood to be its future Palace Master.

From birth, he had been immersed daily in countless precious spiritual liquids to strengthen his physique.

The cultivation techniques and Dao methods he practiced were all top-tier.

Furthermore, he had countless renowned teachers, ninety percent of whom were Ascension Realm powerhouses.

Six of the top ten on the Ascension Rankings had taught him.

And Jun Wangyou?

After the battle at Hundred Battles City, Qi Chengxian had investigated all of Jun Wangyou's information.

He knew that until Jun Wangyou was eighteen, he had been an ordinary mortal, nothing more.

Let alone cultivation, he had never even thrown a punch before.

It had only been a short three years since he entered Heavenly Dao Sacred Land to cultivate.

In just three years, the only thing he could suppress him with was combat skills.

What terrifying talent was this!

Qi Chengxian was somewhat shaken.

The higher he stood, the more he understood how terrifying Jun Wangyou truly was.

If this was the case after three years, what about in more years?

Moreover, they would soon be entering Myriad Law Immortal Sect together.

"Good, good, good! Brother Wangyou, it is my fortune to meet you in this life!"

Qi Chengxian showed no signs of dejection; on the contrary, he was even happier.

A faint smile appeared on Jun Wangyou's face as he said slowly, "Brother Chengxian, let the final move decide the victor."

"Alright!"

Qi Chengxian nodded with a serious expression.

"Heavenly Demon Technique · Six Paths of Reincarnation!"

Qi Chengxian roared to the heavens, unleashing his ultimate move.

Suddenly, a colossal demonic silhouette appeared behind him.

The demonic silhouette had three heads and six arms, each arm wielding a divine weapon.

At this moment, the divine weapons each erupted with astonishing divine light, as if six divine abilities were being unleashed simultaneously.

Jun Wangyou's expression was calm, and his pupils suddenly turned into golden divine eyes.

Extending a palm, Jun Wangyou appeared like the Haotian God, the ruler of the world.

"Divine Ability · Vast Sun Divine Eye!"

"Divine Ability · Heaven Flipping Palm!"

Jun Wangyou's voice, as it left his lips, was like that of a deity. At this moment, he no longer seemed human, but a true divine spirit!

As Jun Wangyou's voice faded, in the heavens above, a pair of ten-thousand-zhang divine eyes simultaneously opened.

A colossal palm, reaching into the sky, also appeared!

In an instant, Jun Wangyou's two divine abilities and Qi Chengxian's Six Paths Reincarnation, as if a combined attack of six divine abilities, collided.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"

An intensely blinding light erupted.

In a flash, it annihilated everything!

It also enveloped Jun Wangyou and Qi Chengxian.

A moment later, the light vanished, and in the sky, a spatial black hole with a diameter of one hundred thousand meters appeared.

The figures of Jun Wangyou and Qi Chengxian had disappeared.

A hundred li away, Li Jianxing's eyes were wide as copper bells, his open mouth as if it could fit a goose egg, and he muttered:

"What kind of monsters are these two guys anyway?!!!"

"Are they truly human? And not some offspring of deities?"

Li Jianxing felt like crying. To be born in the same era as such monsters, he truly didn't know if it was luck or misfortune.
