The three days have been building up, and all living beings are eagerly anticipating this battle.
Even some of the top ten prodigies on the Battle Ranking are planning to observe this battle.
If Lin An wins, then he is indeed qualified to challenge them, and they need to understand his situation.
If Ao Che wins, it will naturally be necessary to understand Ao Che's strength.
Lin An paid no attention to the outside disturbances; he devoted himself to refining pills for the past three days.
He didn't stop until three days later, when he had finished refining a batch of pills.
"It should take about five more days to refine the remaining materials into pills."
"Perfect timing. After today's battle, we can use the remaining time to refine all the pills."
Lin An tidied himself up and then left the room, where Meng Yuan was already waiting.
"There's still an hour until your duel with the Dragon Race Ao Che, so there's no need to rush."
"Here is some information about Ao Che; you can take a look."
As he spoke, Meng Yuan handed a jade talisman to Lin An.
Lin An took the jade talisman and examined it, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
This Ao Che is no ordinary person. He was born at the Immortal Realm and has been at the Immortal Seventh Grade for over five hundred years, making him virtually invincible among those in the same realm.
The opponent's true form is Five-Clawed Golden Dragon with extremely high blood purity, having undergone the bloodline baptism of the Dragon Ancestor.
The Dragon Ancestor was a powerful Dragon Race in the Eternal Realm.
The document also records some of Ao Che's past achievements.
"He actually slew Sin Beast whose bloodline had undergone seven transformations."
Lin An's face showed interest. Although the bloodline quality of this Sin Beast was not high, it was clear that Ao Che was very strong.
Moreover, the other party killed this Sin Beast a hundred years ago, and now that a hundred years have passed, their strength must have increased even further.
"He's a decent opponent," Lin An said with a smile.
"Will a slap solve it?" Meng Yuan asked curiously.
"Who knows?" Lin An shrugged.
He had never even seen his opponent. Although he had gathered some information, he didn't know the opponent's exact strength.
Especially since the other party is from a top-tier clan like the Dragon Race.
He never underestimates his opponents, because every instance of underestimation could lead to a heavy price.
As they talked, the two arrived in the Battle Realm.
Outside the main hall, the arena remained the same, but now it was surrounded by countless beings of all races, many times more numerous than before.
"Look, it's Lin An! Lin An is here!"
"I didn't expect him to actually dare to come. This time, his opponent is the second-ranked prodigy of the Dragon Race."
"I didn't expect Ao Che to make a move, especially since Lin An of the Human Race is currently ranked below fiftieth."
"It's not important anymore. You all know Lin An's strength; getting into the top fifty will be a piece of cake for him. The only question is whether Ao Che can be his match."
"What a joke! Although Lin An defeated Zi Ping and the other prodigies with just one move, there are still differences between prodigies. If Zi Ping were facing Ao Che, she probably wouldn't have been able to withstand a single move."
"Don't worry, we'll have the results soon."
"..."
The surrounding crowd was buzzing with discussion; they had been anticipating this battle for the past three days.
Aww...
About ten minutes before the battle was about to begin, a dragon's roar rang out, followed by the void shattering as several giant dragons swept out.
Among these dragons, a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon stands out the most.
The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon appeared to be cast entirely from pure gold, with each scale shimmering with the brilliance of the Solar True Fire, its body winding like a mountain.
A pair of majestic dragon horns pierced the void like sharp swords, their surface sparkling with starlight. The vertical pupils resembled two blazing suns of molten gold, and wherever the gaze passed, space itself became distorted.
"It's Ao Che, Ao Che has finally arrived."
"I saw him a hundred years ago; he's even stronger now."
"Hahaha, it's finally about to begin. I just hope Ao Che can unleash his full power and suppress that Human Race Lin An, so that guy won't be so arrogant."
"..."
As one of the top races among all races, the Dragon Race cause countless creatures to gasp in astonishment wherever they go.
At this moment, Lin An was also sizing up Ao Che, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He had to admit that he underestimated Ao Che; the opponent's strength was greater than he had imagined.
In particular, the aura emanating from the opponent was comparable to that of the first Hundred-Eyed Evil Dragon he had slain.
Most importantly, he sensed a trace of Eternal aura emanating from the other party.
Although it was faint, based on this alone, the opponent's combat strength far exceeded that of others in the same realm.
"It'll probably take two slaps to fix this," Lin An for a moment, adding that it might even require three.
If he still possessed the strength he had before entering the Sin Domain, defeating Ao Che would be quite difficult.
However, after he emerged from the Sin Domain, his combat power increased more than three thousand times, making it much easier to suppress his opponent.
At the same time, Ao Che was also sizing up Lin An.
He appeared unremarkable, but Ao Che dared not underestimate him.
At their level, no one underestimates their opponent; those who did are long gone.
"Interesting. Even I can't see through this guy. His strength might be even greater than I imagined."
"It seems there's no need for probing now; let's unleash our strongest attacks and end the battle as quickly as possible."
A series of thoughts flashed through Ao Che's mind.
Lin An and Ao Che looked at each other but did not exchange a word.
There was no need for communication; everyone was quietly waiting for the appointed time to arrive.
Ten minutes passed quickly.
Lin An issued a challenge, and Ao Che readily accepted.
Everyone present was ready, waiting for both sides to enter the battlefield so they could watch the battle.
Ten seconds passed quickly. Lin An and Ao Che exchanged a glance, then simultaneously transformed into white light and disappeared.
[The battle will begin in thirty seconds. Please prepare.]
A notification sound popped up, but Lin An looked at the number of spectators.
Ten million, fifty million, two hundred million...
In just ten seconds, the number of viewers exceeded 500 million, and the number continues to surge.
Lin An was quite satisfied. After this battle, he would gain hundreds of billions of contribution points.
Thirty seconds is not long, and it passed quickly, at which point the number of spectators reached 1.5 billion.
[Battle begins!]
Boom...
As the notification sound rang out, a terrifying aura erupted, sweeping across the entire battlefield.
Ao Che enveloped in a dazzling golden light, and a golden bead flew out of his mouth. On the golden bead, a majestic figure appeared.
"That's a dragon Dragon Pearl from the Dragon Race, and Ao Che Dragon Pearl is imbued with the aura of the Dragon Ancestor. I'm afraid even beings whose bloodlines have undergone five or six transformations wouldn't be his match."
"I didn't expect Ao Che to unleash such a powerful move right from the start. It seems he's extremely wary of Lin An and wants to end the battle in one fell swoop."
"I wonder how Lin An will deal with this. Will he also be Ao Che in one move?"
Those with knowledge in the spectator stands all showed expressions of shock. Although the Dragon Pearl was only imbued with the aura of the Dragon Ancestor, the Dragon Ancestor was, after all, an existence at the Eternal Realm.
Even a wisp of its aura is not so easy to contend with.
