The Battle's Conclusion
"Boom!"
Those guarding the outside world felt a sudden tremor, and the gazes of many Elders of the Heavenly Barbarian Sect were fixed on the Grand Palace that had become the battlefield.
Immediately...
Two beams of Flowing Light, one gold and one blue, suddenly pierced through the barrier of the main hall, and at that moment, the majestic palace collapsed and was reduced to ruins.
A fierce roar erupted high in the sky, and in just a few breaths, the two streaks of Flowing Light collided with each other thousands of times.
The terrifying aftershocks of the battle opened a black hole thousands of feet in diameter in the sky, and even the barrier painstakingly maintained by a group of powerful individuals showed dense cracks and was on the verge of collapse.
Noticing this, Xiao Han and the other exchanged a glance and nodded knowingly. They separated again and immediately entered the black hole.
Finally, the power of the barrier was exhausted, turning into countless fragments that crumbled and dissipated into the world, leaving behind a group of exhausted Elder leaning on each other, slumped on the ground without any regard for their image.
Wiping away a cold sweat, Huang Yan, the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Barbarian Sect and the second strongest under Huang Jing Tian, whose strength was at the level of Four Star Dou Sheng Huang Yan, stared in awe at the void in the sky, feeling the spatial fluctuations emanating from it. He couldn't help but feel a mix of pride and shame.
What they are naturally proud of is the unparalleled strength of their Heavenly Barbarian Sect Master, who is destined to reach the pinnacle in the future.
What's shameful is that at his advanced age, almost on the verge of death, he couldn't even withstand the aftershocks of a junior's battle; it's truly ironic.
Xiao Han and Huang Jing Tian, who were currently engaged in a battle of wits with others, were unaware of, and would not care about, the thoughts of others.
They were all in a state of excited anticipation of a close match. With the improvement of their cultivation levels, especially at their current stage, there were very few opponents who could fight them with all their might.
Huang Jing Tian could only choose to cultivate diligently to break through his bottleneck, while Xiao Han had been carefully suppressing his strength for many years. Even when dealing with Hun Miesheng and others, he was worried about slapping them to death. Such an exhilarating battle was unprecedented.
That's why what was originally just a friendly spar gradually changed its rhythm.
The two men's momentum grew stronger, and they even gave up using their Dou Techniques. Although this situation was somewhat unfavorable to Xiao Han, due to the special nature of Dou Qi, the two men still fought back and forth.
A long spear and a pair of iron palms intertwined in the Endless Void, creating a dazzling display of sparks. Every move was filled with killing intent. As the battle progressed, the two felt their shackles gradually loosening and their restraints diminishing.
Another collision, the shockwave shattered the surrounding Spatial Storm that was powerful enough to kill an ordinary Dou Sheng Expert, and the two separated once again.
Feeling the surging blood and qi within their bodies and the dwindling Dou Qi they possessed, the two exchanged a knowing smile.
"One move to decide the outcome?" The two men's eyes conveyed this meaning precisely, which was then understood by each other.
Xiao Han, his Dou Qi circulating through his limbs and bones. A chilling aura gathered several feet around him, freezing everything in the entire space, including the ceaseless flow of time. The raging storm quietly stopped, forming a dazzling frozen star river.
The Ice Spear in his hand grew increasingly imposing, and upon closer inspection, the crystalline cold light at the tip of the spear emitted an invisible vortex that could engulf everything.
"The Spear Lock, Destruction imminent!"
Xiao Han's melancholy voice echoed in the Void Space, and a wisp of cold star, light yet swift as a Flowing Light, pierced through the space and shot toward the golden body in the distance.
"Hahaha~" Sensing the intense killing intent contained in Xiao Han's shot, Huang Jing Tian was not alarmed but delighted, laughing loudly to the sky.
"Good timing!"
He immediately clasped his hands together, and his body suddenly expanded, growing from two meters to a hundred feet in size. The golden light disappeared at the same time, replaced by the gentle moonlight that resembled white jade.
His eyes no longer held the fervor and excitement of before, but were filled with indifference, with a detached disregard for all living beings, like a god descended to earth, devoid of joy or sorrow.
"The Barbarian King Art, the Huang Emperor Descends!"
With a voice as loud as a bell, a Jade Palm, dozens of feet in size, traversed space and arrived in an instant, colliding with a spear that was only about one foot long.
The moment the spear tip and the Giant Palm hand met, the surrounding space suddenly froze. A point of light stood out in the dim, Void Space. Then, the firefly-like point of light rapidly expanded, instantly engulfing all the darkness.
The powerful figures of the Heavenly Barbarian Sect outside noticed that the movement in the Space Rift had suddenly stopped. The Elder, who thought everything was about to end, were about to go in to check when they were suddenly stopped by Huang Yan with a solemn expression.
"Don't move!"
Seeing Huang Yan's serious expression, the others, though puzzled, also stopped their advance.
"Retreat ten thousand feet!" Huang Yan took a deep breath and then gave this order.
"Execute the order!" The tone was firm and unyielding, causing those who disagreed to immediately back away.
His body moved like Flowing Light, tracing countless arcs across the sky before disappearing in an instant, the entire process taking less than five seconds.
And as it turned out, Huang Yan's order was incredibly wise!
Just seconds after everyone left, the spatial void suddenly erupted with intense fluctuations, followed by a violent explosion. The black hole, tens of thousands of feet wide, suddenly swallowed the entire battlefield, and the main hall and mountain where the initial battle took place had long since turned to dust.
The sky is clear and the air is fresh!
Even though the other powerful figures in the Wildlands Region noticed such a huge commotion, seeing it above the Heavenly Barbarian Sect, they had no choice but to give up the opportunity to investigate. The former's domineering nature was not just talk.
Everyone from the Heavenly Barbarian Sect stared blankly at the earth-shattering scene, Forbidden Ground swallowing hard.
"Is this the power that is close to that of Nine Star Dou Sheng?" someone murmured.
The sheer force of the battle and the clashes was terrifying!
Huang Yan opened his mouth, but ultimately remained silent.
In his long life, he had naturally witnessed battles between Nine Star Dou Sheng, but the opponents had never made such a commotion!
It can only be said that these two have almost reached the limit at the Peak Eight-Star level, and even a strong person who has just entered the Nine Star level may not be able to do anything to them.
Suddenly someone said:
"This..."
"I hope nothing bad has happened to the Sect Master and the others?"
As soon as these words were uttered, they attracted the attention of everyone. Indeed, with such a commotion, even the Sect Master's strength would not be unaffected!
Most people rushed toward the empty cave, while only a few Dou Sheng Expert, including Huang Yan, disregarded it.
What a joke! With the physical strength of our Sect Master, he could withstand a Peak Dou Sheng attack and still be alive and kicking. This aftershock, though terrifying, is nothing to our Sect Master leader.
As for Xiao Han's safety, that was not within the scope of their Heavenly Barbarian Sect's consideration. It was better that he was dead; a top-tier expert who could go toe-to-toe with the Sect Master was far too much of a threat, and besides...
He's still eyeing the Saint's Remains —unforgivable!
In the Void Space, Xiao Han and Huang Jing Tian stood facing each other, both wearing carefree smiles.
Both of them felt a slight tremor in their almost stagnant cultivation, and a breakthrough was a certainty, just a matter of a few years!
"This time, my Heavenly Barbarian Sect owes you a favor," Huang Jing Tian said casually.
"Our Heavenly Barbarian Sect agrees to the matter of the Saint's Remains!"
The Elder of the Heavenly Barbarian Sect had just excitedly arrived at the battlefield, heard news that immediately soured their mood.
