The number of followers of the Ancestral God Religion is in the hundreds of millions.
With so many inheritors, conflicts and hatred are bound to arise. However, the Ancestral God Religion cannot act arbitrarily in places other than the Secret Realm Land. Ancestral God Religion has its own methods for resolving these hatreds.
This wager is only one aspect.
Beyond the Divine General Continent, there is a continent covered by Five-Colored Aurora Lake, which is the arena for gambling.
The rules of the duel are simple: either one side dies or the other side concedes. Once one side concedes or dies, the duel is lost. The winner receives the prize money, but cannot continue to attack.
Venerable Pei Feng arrived very early.
They were waiting on a mountaintop on the mainland.
Beyond the mainland, deep within the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, there are also inheritors who have come to watch the battle.
A battle between two Universe Overlord is a rare spectacle. For many inheritors, there may never be a chance to witness such a scene in their entire lives. Now that this opportunity has come, many are naturally unwilling to miss it.
The familiar inheritors gathered together, whispering and speculating about the outcome of the duel.
However, compared to Venerable Xue You, there are more people who are optimistic about Venerable Pei Feng.
no way.
Although Venerable Xue You is a top genius, he has only been Universe Venerable for a few epochs, while Venerable Pei Feng is a renowned Universe Overlord and Reserve Divine General —it is obvious to anyone with discerning eyes that the gap between the two is enormous.
despite this.
No successor dared to underestimate the Venerable Xue You.
When King Level, the Venerable Xue You could advance one level of the Path of the Beast God every hundred years, defeating the Demon Race inheritors in a rout. Even the two strongest Fourth Layer Inheritor of the Demon Race, one dared not fight him, and the other died at his hands. After becoming Universe Venerable, he easily killed three Demon Race Universe Venerable. It is said that he also killed the Mirror King.
The Venerable Xue You's reputation was earned through real battles!
"They're here!"
A voice came from inside.
Everyone looked up and saw a blood-red figure flash by, appearing in the sky above the continent, standing opposite Venerable Pei Feng. He stood there, his blood-red robes fluttering even without wind.
Lu Qingshan turned to look at the people around him, then his gaze fell on Venerable Pei Feng opposite him, and he said with a smile, " Venerable Pei Feng, I'm not late, am I?"
"Not too late!" Venerable Pei Feng snorted coldly.
"Since that's the case, let's get started. It'll be better to finish quickly so we can wrap things up sooner."
Lu Qingshan said.
" Venerable Xue You —don't be arrogant! Today I'll show you that even among Universe Overlord, there's a huge gap!" Venerable Pei Feng said coldly.
"Hehe, if you're very familiar with me, that's fine. Let me see for myself."
Lu Qingshan raised his hand.
A jet-black War Blade appeared in his hand; it was none other than the Top-tier Supreme Treasure War Blade, the Azure Chi Ink Abyss Blade.
Although Venerable Pei Feng is Universe Overlord, the level of his Supreme Treasure is clearly inferior.
Seeing the jet-black War Blade in Venerable Xue You's hand, which seemed to seal countless phantom dragons, a hint of shock flashed in Venerable Pei Feng's eyes. He also took out a Supreme Treasure War Blade.
Venerable Pei Feng made the first move.
With a swipe of his War Blade, countless cyan whirlwinds appeared, hurtling towards the Venerable Xue You opposite him.
His first move was a powerful secret technique he had created himself; Venerable Pei Feng had no intention of getting entangled with Venerable Xue You.
For a newly promoted Universe Venerable, failing to resolve a battle swiftly and decisively will only lower his reputation.
Countless blue hurricanes roared in, like blue venomous snakes, their tongues spitting out deadly poison.
Once swallowed by these hurricanes, even the divine bodies of Universe Venerable will be annihilated.
Lu Qingshan took a step.
In the instant the hurricane swept in, it retreated tens of thousands of kilometers, at a speed comparable to Teleportation.
Having dodged the attack, Venerable Pei Feng's secret technique did not dissipate. He once again lunged towards Lu Qingshan, determined to devour him, and would not give up until he succeeded!
Lu Qingshan easily dodged it again.
Even if a blue hurricane came from all directions, he could find the most suitable position and easily dodge it.
Seeing that his secret technique was having no effect, Venerable Pei Feng's expression changed slightly.
"Wow, that's fast!"
The Venerable Xue You was incredibly fast; even he had to admire him. He realized that his secret technique would likely remain untouched until it completely dissipated.
His expression hardened, and he began to take things seriously.
Venerable Pei Feng's divine body began to expand, and his original three hundred-meter divine body almost instantly increased to over a thousand meters.
Then, his divine body flickered with blue flames, making him appear like a giant of fire.
"This Venerable Pei Feng is angry!"
Deep within the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, Purple Rain Venerable chuckled lightly, unconcerned.
Beside him was a powerful human with a wolf's head, who was also the human's Universe Overlord within the Ancestral God Religion, Jiu Feng Venerable —Venerable Purple Rain Venerable. He had a good relationship with humans and was also happy to associate with the powerful members of the Hongmeng Alliance.
A hint of worry flashed in Jiu Feng Venerable's eyes.
" Venerable Pei Feng is planning to use that secret technique, and he's even burned his divine body. It seems he wants to end the battle quickly. Venerable Xue You is in danger—"
As fellow Reserve Divine General, Jiu Feng Venerable naturally knew what Venerable Pei Feng was planning to do.
That move was a powerful secret technique at the level of Universe Master. Combined with the burning of his divine body, its power was immense, enough to threaten beings of the same level.
"It's not that simple, you'll see."
Purple Rain Venerable chuckled softly.
Jiu Feng Venerable was taken aback.
Looking again at the Venerable Xue You who was entangled by countless hurricanes, both the Purple Rain Venerable and the Venerable Xue You were Special Lifeform, and they certainly knew more about the Venerable Xue You than he did. Could it be that the Venerable Xue You had some trump card that he hadn't used yet?
But what trump card could he have to withstand Venerable Pei Feng's attack without Burning Divine Body?
"Roar!!"
Venerable Pei Feng suddenly opened his mouth.
The invisible, Phantom Demon transformed into a venomous giant python, which caught up with the Venerable Xue You in an instant at a speed exceeding the limits of the universe.
The enormous beast opened its blood-red maw and swallowed Venerable Xue You whole.
The illusory divine power had no form, but the onlookers felt a terrifying soul pressure descend directly upon Venerable Xue You.
Even watching from afar, one could feel the oppressive aura emanating from the battle.
Those inheritors all felt how terrifying this Soul Attack was; even a single wisp of it could easily annihilate most of them!
However.
Just when some inheritors thought that Venerable Xue You wouldn't be able to withstand it, an even more powerful soul pressure erupted from Venerable Xue You, directly shattering Venerable Pei Feng's illusory divine power.
Conversely, another invisible and Phantom Demon attacked Venerable Pei Feng from an extremely tricky angle.
"How is this possible? He blocked my ultimate attack without even burning his divine body? He has Soul Defense Supreme Treasure!!"
A hint of shock flashed in Venerable Pei Feng's eyes.
His move...
Even a typical Universe Overlord, even one Burning Divine Body, would not be able to completely withstand it; their soul would certainly be damaged, and they might even be directly annihilated. But unexpectedly, the Venerable Xue You not only withstood it, but also had the strength to retaliate.
Venerable Pei Feng guessed that the other party possessed Soul Defense Supreme Treasure.
He was right.
Lu Qingshan does indeed possess Soul Defense Supreme Treasure, and it is even High-grade Supreme Treasure treasure, bestowed upon him by the Old Ancestral God when he accepted him as a disciple.
But clearly, whether or not this Supreme Treasure exists makes little difference.
For him, who is now the Universe Master, Venerable Pei Feng's Soul Attack was almost no different from a tickle.
Soul Attack are easy to use to crush weaker opponents and gain an advantage in battles of the same level, but to fight opponents of a higher level is simply wishful thinking.
Venerable Pei Feng clearly sensed the invisible divine power transformed into sharp arrows before him.
He opened his mouth again.
"Whoosh!!"
Two giant pythons formed from invisible divine power reappeared, attempting to block Lu Qingshan's Soul Attack and counterattack.
However.
Just for a moment.
The invisible divine power of Venerable Pei Feng was easily pierced by the arrow, and less than one-tenth of the divine power on the arrow was consumed.
An invisible arrow easily pierced into Venerable Pei Feng's divine body.
Even while Burning Divine Body, Venerable Pei Feng felt excruciating pain in his soul.
My entire consciousness went completely blank almost instantly.
Right now.
Lu Qingshan easily broke free from the onslaught of the hurricanes and appeared before Venerable Pei Feng in the blink of an eye, wielding the Azure Chi Ink Abyss Blade in his hand with a sudden swing!
Pfft!!!
Without the protection of the Supreme Treasure Armor and with his consciousness in a blank state, Venerable Pei Feng had no way to resist this strike.
His divine body vanished like a bubble.
A moment later.
They coalesced once more.
At this moment, Venerable Pei Feng's Divine Power Burning had disappeared, and a normal person could see that he was extremely weak.
"How is this possible?!"
Venerable Pei Feng was greatly alarmed.
He was still unaware of what had happened; his divine body had already lost nineteen percent of its strength.
Adding to the portion that just burned, more than 20% has already been lost.
However, before he could react...
Another slash came down.
The top- Heavy Treasure Armor worn by Venerable Pei Feng finally gave way, and with a crack, it shattered into countless fragments.
The divine body was annihilated once again.
Without burning his divine power and with his soul damaged, Venerable Pei Feng simply couldn't withstand such a rapid attack.
"Admit defeat"
By the time Venerable Pei Feng uttered the words "I admit defeat," his divine body had already perished three times, suffering a loss of more than fifty percent.
In his current state, let alone fighting Venerable Xue You, he might not even be able to defeat a High Venerable.
Seeing the blade of light stop in front of him, Venerable Pei Feng broke out in a cold sweat. At this moment, he finally understood why he had a bad feeling before the duel.
This Venerable Xue You's Soul Attack is terrifying; it probably possesses the will of Universe Master.
And it's fast too.
He surpassed him without Burning Divine Body.
Using a weapon War Blade is considered a Top-tier Supreme Treasure.
Their basic strength even surpassed his.
It can be said that he was completely outmatched by the Venerable Xue You and had no chance of winning.
If it weren't for the fact that he could concede the bet, he probably would have lost his life here.
" Venerable Pei Feng —thank you—I happen to be lacking a high-grade, Supreme Treasure Armor."
Lu Qingshan chuckled softly.
Venerable Pei Feng conceded defeat, and the superior Supreme Treasure Armor naturally became his.
The battle ended too easily. He didn't even use the Ultimate Secret Technique the Universe Overlord, nor the strongest Innate Secret Technique of the Universe Master. He only used the Soul-Shaking Technique to retaliate against Venerable Pei Feng's Soul Attack, causing damage to his soul and leaving him in a blank state of consciousness for a moment.
Then, with a few simple strikes, the battle was easily ended.
Of course, the reason why Venerable Pei Feng used his superior Supreme Treasure Armor as a wager was also because of this.
He handed over the Supreme Treasure Armor to the Ancestral God Religion Sect, as his own defenses were too weak to withstand the power of Top-tier Supreme Treasure weapons; otherwise, things would have been a bit more complicated.
Originally, Venerable Pei Feng thought that Venerable Xue You had no chance of getting close.
This outcome was completely unexpected for him.
" Venerable Xue You —you are very strong, I admit defeat this time."
Venerable Pei Feng let out a sigh of relief.
After saying this, he didn't hesitate any longer and immediately turned to leave. The Venerable Xue You's strength far exceeded his expectations, and he had lost face big time today.
Moreover, given the Venerable Xue You's growth rate, he will have no chance to take revenge in the future.
Unless his teacher is willing to intervene.
Deep within the Five-Colored Aurora Lake.
Countless inheritors also witnessed this scene, and they were all shocked. Venerable Xue You had defeated Venerable Pei Feng Venerable Pei Feng so easily, without even Burning Divine Body. This strength seemed to have exceeded the limit of Universe Overlord.
Could it be that Venerable Xue You has become Top Universe Overlord, comparable to a true Divine General of the Ancestral God Religion?
" Purple Rain Venerable —I didn't expect Venerable Xue You to be so strong. No wonder you said that before."
Jiu Feng Venerable was also amazed.
When Venerable Xue You first went to receive the Beast God Inheritance, he was the one guarding the Inheritance Space. At that time, Venerable Xue You had only comprehended the Second Layer the Path of the Beast God, but unexpectedly, in just tens of thousands of years, his strength had far surpassed his.
His strength was not much different from that of Venerable Pei Feng. Venerable Xue You could easily defeat Venerable Pei Feng, so defeating himself would naturally be just as easy.
Although his ultimate Divine General technique is different from Venerable Pei Feng's —it's not Soul Attack but a physical attack—the outcome is unlikely to be different.
Purple Rain Venerable smiled slightly but did not answer.
In his view, Venerable Xue You was not just holding back, but holding back the whole world—if he had used that powerful Innate Secret Technique directly, a candidate for Divine General like Venerable Pei Feng could have been easily killed in one move, without any chance of admitting defeat.
However, he also guessed what Venerable Xue You was thinking.
Without using that powerful secret technique, his identity wouldn't be exposed. No one else could then confirm that Venerable Tianhua was killed by him.
"Brother Xue You, you really are a steady and reliable person!"
