"Bang!" "Crack!"
The instant the two collided, it was like two meteors crashing together. A dazzling light flared over the arena, and the enormous shock wave battered the formation's Protective Barrier. Dust billowed, obscuring the view.
Seeing spiderweb cracks appear across the formation's Protective Barrier, the Domain Envoy's gaze sharpened. Their very first collision had already caused such destruction.
He rushed forward without hesitation, divine power surging within him. It poured from his body like a tide into the formation, repairing the cracks appearing across it.
Before the dust had cleared, Shi Hao flew backward from the center of the arena, his body punching through one enormous floating stone pillar after another like a cannonball.
Shi Yi did not pause either. His figure flickered several times as he swiftly closed on Shi Hao, clenching his fist and driving it straight at him. Even the void trembled faintly.
"I never thought Little Shi would be beaten back after just one blow."
"The Double-Pupiled One really is powerful. He lives up to his reputation as a renowned prodigy of the Desolate Region."
Beside the Fire Emperor, Huo Ling'er looked worried at the sight. Even the War Goddess beside Shi Qingyun could not help frowning.
"The battle has only just begun!"
As Shi Qingyun spoke calmly, Shi Hao gave his body a slight shake, and the enormous stone pillars around him instantly shattered into fragments.
Like lightning, he tore through the void once more and charged toward Shi Yi. Though his mastery of Precious Techniques was slightly inferior to Shi Yi's, they were evenly matched in physical strength.
Their figures immediately became two rapidly flashing streaks of lightning, colliding again and again in the void as shock waves pounded the arena.
Everyone watching the battle from outside felt the tremors beneath their feet.
