Chapter 319: Fierce Battle with the Holy Son!
Gu Fan’s gaze turned toward the depths of Holy Son Peak, where a terrifying aura slowly rose.
Divine might surged magnificently, divine radiance illuminating the entirety of Holy Son Peak, making countless disciples unable to resist the urge to kneel in worship.
The Holy Son traversed the void and appeared above Jiang Tianxin, then waved his hand, sending Jiang Tianxin back to the rear.
Gu Fan stared at the man shrouded in divine brilliance before him, his features blurred, his aura terrifying.
At once, the battle intent in his heart began to rise as well.
“Escaping from the Rift Battlefield was beyond my expectations. Defeating Jiang Tianxin with one move was also beyond my expectations.”
Gu Fan sneered.
“Many things will be beyond your expectations. For example, next, I’ll smash your head apart.”
The Holy Son showed no fluctuation, only sighed lightly before speaking earnestly:
“I have never targeted you, nor do I deign to target anyone. Not even Fang Xue, nor the disciples of Overlord Peak.”
“What happened that day was originally your fault, damaging the relationship between the two sects. Even if I were to punish you, I would not truly take your life. If you did not resist stubbornly, I would not have made a move.”
Gu Fan raised his hand slightly, showing no intention of being persuaded.
“Cultivators fight over opportunities by nature. Can you guarantee that no disciples from other sects targeted my Brahma God Sect disciples in the Rift Battlefield? If your conscience is clear, then why, when disciples of the Pure Radiance God Sect targeted my Senior Brother of Overlord Peak, did you not step in to punish them?”
“The relationship among the Four Great Sects requires our joint effort to maintain. You’ve already offended Sacred Land Yaochi. If I were to punish the Pure Radiance God Sect again, we would make too many enemies. That would be unwise.”
“Hahaha! What a fine ‘not wise to make too many enemies.’ So according to you, other sects can act recklessly, and we must flatter them and give way?”
Gu Fan laughed heartily, finding the Holy Son before him far too hypocritical.
“Enough talking. Today’s battle is unavoidable!”
Hearing this, the Holy Son no longer spoke, only sighed again:
“Since words are useless, I’ll capture you first, then we’ll talk.”
Gu Fan simply ignored him, throwing a punch forward.
“Stop pretending with your false image—it’s laughable!”
The Holy Son raised his hand to block. The two figures instantly vanished, and the air trembled violently at a speed beyond the eyes of ordinary disciples.
The two were exchanging blows at incomprehensible speed. To those whose realms were insufficient, all they could see were two streaks of light colliding and tearing at each other.
“Qilin Step!”
“Oblivion!”
Boom!
The light of death swept across everything around, destroying all. At the center of the battlefield, after a brief separation, the two stepped toward each other once more!
Buzz! Buzz!
One black and one golden terrifying domain opened at the same time.
The instant the domains collided, space itself was ruthlessly torn apart, countless rifts appearing and then closing immediately after.
Repeating endlessly, forming a forbidden zone.
“The power of Domains…”
The Holy Son murmured in slight surprise.
“It’s just a domain. Is it really so hard?”
“Heh, true enough. Without a domain, you wouldn’t even be worthy of crossing hands with me!”
The next moment, a terrifying collision erupted. In the sky above, black and golden domains turned like two giant millstones grinding against each other, colliding ceaselessly.
Both sides attempted to devour or crush the other’s domain!
The power of laws burst forth endlessly. Just a single strand falling to the ground was enough to explode into terrifying energy!
For the moment, the two were evenly matched. Neither could overwhelm the other in a short time.
The watching disciples were already too stunned to speak.
Who would have thought that Gu Fan could actually fight endlessly against the legendary Holy Son?
Not only that—he fought on equal footing, not at all falling into disadvantage!
“Unbelievable… Gu Fan’s strength is actually this terrifying, able to battle the Holy Son for so long!”
“The Holy Son is at the Half-step Three Blossoms Realm. It’s said he has already comprehended the mysteries of the Three Blossoms Realm. Yet Gu Fan is only at mid-stage Yang Spirit, and he can still fight like this?”
“The Brahma God Sect is about to change. No matter who wins this battle, the Holy Son will no longer be an unscalable mountain. At the very least… someone has already attempted to climb it!”
…
Meanwhile, deep within the Brahma God Sect, in several folded spaces, a few figures appeared. Though not their true bodies, only manifested clones, they still possessed intelligence and could communicate with one another.
“The Brahma God Sect has indeed entered an era of tiger competition. First, Fang Xue constantly challenged the Holy Son. Then Lin Yi sought to surpass him. Now another Gu Fan has emerged—truly unexpected.”
At this moment, a white-haired old woman coughed a few times and said:
“This Gu Fan carries a strange fluctuation. Perhaps it relates to his gains in the Rift. But his strength is undeniable—his realm is even lower than the Holy Son’s, yet he can fight across realms.”
“Hmph! The Holy Son is the one the Brahma God Sect should firmly support. His future is destined for the supreme realm, his bloodline power defies the heavens.”
“Hehe, not necessarily. Evil-slaying Sword Lin Yi possesses the Twin Perfection Body, an extraordinary constitution. Later, he will cultivate two Daos at once. That is the one destined to ascend the absolute peak!”
For a time, supporters of the Ten Peaks Holy Son and those of the great families argued heatedly.
But suddenly, everyone turned to look at the young man sitting in the center.
“Ancestor Elder, what do you think?”
The youth smiled faintly before replying:
“I find this Gu Fan rather interesting. A Nine Rings Talent—hasn’t that never appeared before?”
At this, a supporter of the Ten Peaks Holy Son frowned:
“But Ancestor Elder, this person’s root bone is only white…”
“What’s the limit of white root bone? And what realm is he at now?”
The doubter fell silent. White root bones were said to have an upper limit of only the True Yang Realm, impossible to reach Yang Spirit.
But Gu Fan had already reached mid-stage Yang Spirit, and his combat power rivaled the Half-step Three Blossoms Holy Son!
“That’s enough, all of you. Sect disciples must decide their own path. No matter how big the commotion, it ends only with the Sect Master. I don’t want any of us to interfere.”
After speaking, the youth swept his gaze around, then slowly vanished into the space.
The others exchanged glances but eventually all fell silent.
His meaning was all too clear. With his presence, none of them would dare to favor anyone lightly—at least not among those gathered here.
Meanwhile, the battle between Gu Fan and the Holy Son had already entered its fiercest stage.
Gu Fan knew he had grown stronger, but so had his opponent. Only upon truly crossing hands did he understand why the Holy Son carried such arrogance.
He indeed had the capital to be arrogant. Even for the current Gu Fan, defeating him was by no means easy.
On the other side, the Holy Son’s expression had also grown far more solemn as their battle dragged on.
Gu Fan’s strength had exceeded his expectations.
Previously, whether facing Holy Sons and Holy Daughters of other sects, or even Fang Xue, he had at most felt pressure, and nothing more.
Even with Fang Xue, he had never once felt the crushing oppression he felt now…
Realizing this, the Holy Son was briefly startled, then instantly dismissed the thought.
I, Ying Langtian, am destined to sweep across this lifetime. Any opponent before me can only bow their head in submission!
Even this one before me is nothing more than a fine whetstone at best…
On this Destiny Continent, there is no opponent I cannot defeat!
