It's not that the Saint Venerable Wangdao doesn't have the Sacred Court in his heart, but rather that his vision is beyond the imagination of ordinary people in his position.

The gains and losses of a single Dragon Platform Feast have absolutely no impact on him; whether he wins or loses, his position will not be shaken in any way.

For the sake of his bet, and for the sake of his reputation.

Han Xuanji should lose.

"The power of Imperishable is still too authoritative."

Han Xuanji was secretly amazed.

While engaging in close combat with his fists, he also probed with the Power of Principle, unleashing the Five Elements Divine Lightning and the Yin-Yang Great Seal in turn.

Hui Feng neither dodged nor evaded, letting those Principle Divine Ability bombard his body. The patterns on his Eternal Indestructible Physique flickered slightly, absorbing and dissolving all the attacks.

Fortunately, even without using Unfettered Ultra Instinct Technique, his strength and speed were slightly superior to Hui Feng's, so Hui Feng couldn't do anything to him.

The two remained locked in a stalemate, with Han Xuanji holding the upper hand but unable to inflict a fatal wound.

"His resistance to physical attacks is extremely high, but his resistance to various Principle varies."

Han Xuanji's probing for so long was not without its rewards.

If it were a fully realized, Eternal Indestructible Physique, it might be flawless, but Hui Feng's current use of his power is clearly not yet up to par.

A cultivator who Dao of Principle possesses numerous methods; he seeks to find an attack capable of penetrating the defenses of Indestructible Physique.

For example, the Spacetime Principle can delay the opponent's reaction, ensuring that the attack hits their weakness; the Principle of Death can determine life and death and amplify the opponent's weakness; the Reincarnation Principle can drag someone into reincarnation, causing irreparable damage; Dao of the Mind can directly attack their mental will and dismantle their inner defenses.

Of these methods, the one most likely to be effective is the Dao of the Mind.

Even though Hui Feng's will was extremely firm, he was ultimately just a cultivator of an Eternal True God, and could not possibly compare to him, who possessed numerous powerful attributes.

Han Xuanji's eyes flickered slightly, and he had already made up his mind.

The mental attack was invisible and formless, and coupled with multiple powerful Principle Divine Ability, as well as the Power of Primordial Beginning he once possessed, it might not be able to kill his opponent, but... after all, this was a contest, not a life-or-death battle.

Even the restrictions on the battlefield cannot predict everything; even if the opponent is rendered "dead," he can still claim victory.

Thinking of this, Han Xuanji formed a hand seal, and the light of Principle around his body suddenly surged.

The Ten Directions Return to Origin Instruction and the Nine Heavens Heavenly Mandate Instruction were activated simultaneously, and numerous Principle destiny, time and space, reincarnation, life and death, destruction, and creation intertwined in his palms to form one mysterious Divine Ability after another.

The threads of fate, like gossamer threads, coiled around Hui Feng, attempting to sever the causal link between his physical body and the power of Imperishable.

The spacetime chains followed closely behind, sealing off several meters of space around Hui Feng.

A vortex of reincarnation rose from beneath his feet, attempting to drag the Hui Feng into the illusion of life and death.

"Good timing!"

Hui Feng laughed loudly, neither dodging nor avoiding, and fully activated his Eternal Indestructible Physique, forcefully shattering the chains of time and space, stepping out of the vortex of reincarnation. The threads of fate wrapped around him were broken by his brute force.

His body shimmered with golden light, and his Imperishable power flowed like a river. Although those Principle and Divine Ability could leave marks on his body, they could not penetrate deep into his body.

Hui Feng unleashed a punch, the force of which forced Han Xuanji back several feet, his tone tinged with a touch of heroic pride:

"Brother Han, aren't you underestimating me? I won't lose to an attack of this magnitude."

Outside the arena, some cultivators shook their heads in disapproval upon witnessing this scene.

People were whispering among themselves:

" Han Xuanji's Principle Divine Ability look flashy, but they're like a tickle to Indestructible Physique. It seems his Dao of Principle is still inferior to Fairy Linglong's."

"Yes, he won before because of his physical body; his Principle Divine Ability probably couldn't even break through Hui Feng's skin."

Some even said sarcastically:

"Having gone astray, they may be enjoying great success now, but once they reach the level of Sage, they will likely become just another ordinary person."

Han Xuanji was unaware of the discussions among the crowd.

He continued to use his divine Divine Ability of Principle. Although he had not been Eternal True God for long, his comprehension was far beyond that of ordinary people. With the aid of a supreme treasure like the Hongmeng Dao Source Stone, his attainments in the Dao of Principle were actually no worse than anyone else's.

Dozens of Principle and Divine Ability powers were seen layered upon each other, surging towards the Hui Feng like waves.

Its momentum is no less than that of Li Linglong back then.

These attacks, individually, are not fatal, but when they are applied to Hui Feng simultaneously, the cumulative suppression begins to become apparent.

At first, Hui Feng could handle it easily, but gradually, he realized something was wrong.

Han Xuanji's Divine Ability became increasingly dense and rapid. Although the Power of Principle could not directly break through his Indestructible Physique, they were constantly weakening his recovery speed and interfering with the operation of the Imperishable power within his body.

Even the highest lineage of body refinement cannot be invincible.

The Immortal Legacy boasts the strongest attack and fastest speed, but its defense and recovery are relatively weak.

The legacy of Undying grants extremely strong regenerative abilities, followed by attack and speed, while defense is the weakest.

His Imperishable inheritance, compared to the other two great inheritances, has the weakest attack, speed, and recovery abilities, but the strongest defense.

The problem is that he does not currently possess a perfect, Eternal Indestructible Physique; his will and soul are unable to bear the full weight of Imperishable will.

Therefore, he still has weaknesses.

Hui Feng now felt like he was stuck in a swamp, and each exertion of force was more difficult than before.

Something's not right.

He muttered to himself, a hint of worry in his heart, thinking that he should continue to stimulate the Imperishable power within him, otherwise he might really lose.

But it was only in that instant.

Hui Feng's will wavered.

This was the moment Han Xuanji had been waiting for.

In that instant, an invisible and formless fluctuation quietly spread from between Han Xuanji's brows.

The Shengxin Tribulation.

This attack, without any earth-shattering light, silently pierced through Hui Feng's Eternal Indestructible Physique, penetrating directly into the depths of his soul.

Hui Feng shuddered, his resolute eyes suddenly losing focus, as if something had struck him hard in the deepest part of his consciousness.

"You..."

Hui Feng opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a complete sentence.

In that instant, his five senses were instantly stripped away.

Unable to see, hear, or smell... unable to perceive anything.

His figure froze on the spot, the patterns on his Indestructible Physique flickered violently a few times, and then dimmed.

It was at this point that battlefield protection mechanisms emerged.

A white light enveloped the figure of the Hui Feng.

The outcome was clear.

At this moment, Hui Feng slowly regained consciousness, opened his eyes, and was still shaken:

"What terrifying power..."

He accepted his defeat wholeheartedly; the feeling just now was so intense that he was now somewhat afraid of Han Xuanji.

Han Xuanji looked at him quietly:

"Your Indestructible Physique is indeed powerful, but your mental defenses still have weaknesses."

This move was prepared especially for you.

"Really."

Hui Feng was silent for a moment, then nodded with a wry smile.

It was a feeling of powerlessness that was even more powerful than when his physical body was broken.

"I lost."

Hui Feng readily admitted his defeat.

He didn't feel there was anything wrong with losing to Han Xuanji. He wasn't too demanding of himself, and getting this far had already far exceeded his expectations.
