The instant the Great Void Primal Spirit's voice fell:
Chen Qingyu unhesitatingly cast [Soaring on Clouds and Riding the Mist]. An auspicious cloud rose beneath his feet, and he was about to soar into the sky.
Since he was going all out, he naturally had to make the most of his advantages.
But though he moved fast, Chen Qinggu opposite him was actually a fraction faster.
Earth Star Primal Magnetism!
He gave a low shout, and pale blue True Qi surged out of his entire body, all but forming a ring of light that abruptly expanded to fill a hundred-zhang radius.
Not good!
Chen Qingyu, who had only just ridden his auspicious cloud three zhang off the ground, suddenly swayed and nearly fell off it.
At that instant, he felt the earth's gravity grow more than dozens of times stronger.
Under that terrifying pull, he seemed to be carrying a giant mountain on his back. His auspicious cloud crawled like a snail, barely able to leave the ground.
He's mastered the power of Earth Star Primal Magnetism.
No wonder he isn't afraid of my flying escape technique at all.
In the flash of a spark, understanding flickered through Chen Qingyu's mind.
Without another word, he immediately dispelled [Soaring on Clouds and Riding the Mist], intending to land back on the ground.
After all, maintaining the auspicious cloud in midair while barely able to move would only make him a sitting duck.
But at that very instant:
Chen Qingyu's mistaken tactic had cost him the initiative, and Chen Qinggu was already charging in for the kill. Pale blue True Qi blazed around him like flames as he drove a punch at Chen Qingyu's head.
Countless stars could faintly be seen shining upon his fist, which carried enough power to tear through Gang Qi.
Hah!
Without thinking, Chen Qingyu abruptly opened his mouth. As True Qi gushed out, the great divine ability [Flying Sand and Moving Stones] sprang into action.
Boom!
A terrifying yellow-brown sandstorm surged out, blotting out the sky and earth.
The terrifying power of this move of Chen Qingyu's was already acknowledged throughout the Divine Capital.
Yet Chen Qinggu neither dodged nor evaded, continuing to charge straight through.
The pale blue ring of primal magnetism hummed and shuddered!
Under the influence of the dozens-fold power of Earth Star Primal Magnetism, countless grains of True Qi sand in the yellow-brown sandstorm fell to the ground before they could fly far, their power drastically reduced.
Starlight shone all over Chen Qinggu, and even his face took on a metallic sheen, making him look like a primordial star god of legend.
Smack, smack, smack!
The remaining gale carried a small portion of the sand as it struck his body relentlessly, yet it could only leave white marks before bouncing off helplessly.
Die!
Chen Qinggu's gaze was icy, his face utterly devoid of emotion. His fist was already less than three inches from Chen Qingyu's head!
With the power of this punch, Chen Qingyu's protective True Qi absolutely could not withstand it. His head would be blasted apart!
In less than two blinks, the outcome already seemed about to be decided.
"Oh no! Chen Shaojun is going to lose!"
"Exactly! He has too little combat experience! He used two martial techniques wrong in a row!"
"Chen Qinggu is too strong! Chen Shaojun is getting crushed!"
"Tch, I thought we'd get a clash of dragons and tigers..."
In the spectator space, quite a few people immediately began booing, dissatisfaction showing in their eyes.
Anyone could see it:
Chen Qingyu had far too little combat experience. Compared with the battle-hardened Chen Qinggu, he fell far short and was simply no match.
"He's going to win!"
Excitement shone in the eyes of Chen Qingju and the others.
Yet in the next instant:
Their smiles froze on their faces.
Boom!
Chen Qinggu's punch, which he had been certain would land, actually went astray.
Not only did it miss, it swept right past Chen Qingyu's cheek, leaving a massive opening.
Meanwhile, Chen Qingyu's figure blurred and twisted. At an inconceivable angle, he instantly slipped into the blind spot behind Chen Qinggu.
The initiative reversed in an instant!
In a single moment, Chen Qinggu went from holding an overwhelming advantage to being at a disadvantage!
This is the Celestial Star Attraction Method, the power of Celestial Star Primal Magnetism!
He cultivates the Taihao Limitless Ascension True Scripture and has forged the strongest foundation!
A bolt of lightning suddenly flashed through Chen Qinggu's mind, making him understand everything:
Using a flying escape technique at the start was indeed a mistake, but unleashing the sandstorm afterward was a deliberate lure to draw me close. Then he used the movement method powered by Celestial Star Primal Magnetism to turn the situation around.
I actually believed he had no combat experience. One moment of carelessness, and I fell into his trap instead.
At that very instant:
Die!
Chen Qingyu had already exhaled with a shout and thrown a punch.
Vast True Qi surged mightily, driving the fist intent of the Taihao stars. A punch as heavy as a primordial star was about to slam into Chen Qinggu's back.
His True Qi was far stronger than Chen Qinggu's. With the might of this punch, even the lightest outcome for Chen Qinggu would be ruptured organs and a broken spine.
He had indeed never fought anyone and lacked experience.
But his talent for combat was likewise rare beneath the heavens. Instead, he had used this disadvantage to create a trap, turning defeat into victory in an instant.
"What?!"
In the spectator space, everyone's eyes widened at that moment. They held their breath, their hearts rising into their throats.
Hum!
In an instant, the pale blue ring of Earth Star Primal Magnetism shuddered again.
The terrifyingly powerful gravity of the earth actually transformed directly into an immensely strong repulsive force centered on Chen Qinggu.
What?
Caught off guard, Chen Qingyu was nearly flung away.
His body swayed repeatedly before he barely steadied himself, but the momentum of his punch had long since fallen into complete disarray.
Seizing that instant, Chen Qinggu had already turned to face Chen Qingyu and hurled another punch.
At the same time, the ring of Earth Star Primal Magnetism shuddered again!
The very instant Chen Qingyu barely adapted to the repulsive force, that powerful repulsion was abruptly reversed into attraction.
Thud!
This time, Chen Qinggu's starlit fist truly struck Chen Qingyu's head, producing a violent, muffled impact.
The terrifying force poured entirely into Chen Qingyu's head, instantly tearing through his deep blue protective True Qi.
In terms of True Qi strength, Chen Qinggu fell far short of Chen Qingyu.
But his mastery of martial techniques far surpassed Chen Qingyu's, and the destructive power unleashed by this punch was not much weaker than Chen Qingyu's.
I won!
At that moment, even Chen Qinggu's icy heart could not help stirring slightly.
Bang!
Chen Qingyu was sent flying dozens of zhang like a ball.
Something's wrong!
Chen Qinggu reacted instantly, his expression changing.
With the might of my punch, Chen Shaojun's head should have been blasted apart. Why isn't he dead?
And my Earth Star Primal Magnetism is still maintaining the state of "all stars drawn to me." How could Chen Shaojun have been blasted away by my punch? And how is he flying so fast?
Whoosh!
Though Chen Qingyu was in midair as he flew backward, his body actually accelerated again, instantly crossing a hundred zhang.
He had already escaped the range of the ring of Earth Star Primal Magnetism!
Hum!
A white auspicious cloud formed and lifted his body, soaring straight into the clouds in an instant.
"Hahahaha!"
Chen Qingyu stood atop the cloud. Though his head was split and bleeding, staining his white clothes red, he laughed aloud.
"Cousin Qinggu, thank you so very much!"
"If not for you, I wouldn't have discovered that the powers of Celestial Star Primal Magnetism and Earth Star Primal Magnetism can counteract and cancel each other out, or even reverse each other!"
"Now, this is my home ground!"
