Chapter 337: Battle of the Twin Stones, A Fated Showdown! (Part 1)
Chapter 337: Battle of the Twin Stones, A Fated Showdown! (Part 1)
June 25, 2024
Although they were already aware that the Dual-Pupil Warrior would be fighting the Born Supreme who had risen from the ashes, and that he was even younger than the Dual-Pupil Warrior, no one could have imagined he would be this young.
How old could he be?
At most, twelve or thirteen years old?
Shi Qi was already close to twenty.
Such an age gap... Is there really a comparison?
Just as they were shocked, a series of gasps and exclamations filled with astonishment kept assaulting their ears, causing those who didn't understand to feel perplexed. "What are you all doing?"
"Even if you're surprised, there's no need to react like this, is there?"
"I also think it's unnecessary, but this child's spirit is indeed extraordinary. At such a young age, he dares to come and challenge, and his opponent is the Invincible Supreme. If I were in his shoes, I wouldn't dare."
"Your capacity is limited to this."
"Such a spirit is indeed worthy of praise."
"It is worthy of praise, but does it warrant your 'hiss' and 'ha' and 'damn' reactions? Is it necessary to be this shocked? Calm down, you guys are somewhat renowned, don't go overboard."
"Yes, it's not that big of a deal."
Many cultivators were 'comforting' those who were shocked, but in reality, they were mocking them for their lack of worldliness.
Why would they need to react like this? However...
Those who were being ridiculed weren't going to let it slide, and someone immediately rolled their eyes in annoyance. "You guys know jack!"
"Do you know who he is?"
"He's the little troublemaker!"
"The one who loves drinking beast milk the most!!!"
"A legend from the Primal Land, who consecutively broke the records left by the Dual-Pupil Warriors and received numerous rewards."
"It's because of him that Shi Qi was repeatedly suppressed in the Primal Land, almost ruining his reputation!"
"Hiss!!!"
"What?!"
"Is it him?!"
The cultivators who had just been calm suddenly became agitated, like their bottoms were on fire, and they sucked in cold air.
"This little troublemaker is so astonishing?!"
"But... he's just a Born Supreme who had his bones extracted, and even if he was reborn from the flames, how could he possibly compare to the Invincible Supreme? Moreover, their age difference is so vast."
For the elder generation of cultivators, a few years' age gap wasn't significant.
But for the Twin Stones, this gap was just too big.
However...
'Little Stone' had already fought with 'Big Stone' before and even won?
What the hell!!!
"We didn't wait in vain today!"
"We haven't wasted over half a month of waiting."
"Oh heavens, this battle will definitely be extraordinary!!!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Streams of light approached from a distance.
Others had gotten the news and were rushing over as fast as they could to witness this battle.
Lin Fan and the others had also arrived.
But at this moment, they didn't step forward to greet anyone; they merely observed from a distance, cheering and supporting Shi Hao.
The crowd kept growing!
Layer upon layer, no one knew how many there were, and the people arriving were of increasingly higher status and greater fame.
Leaders of major sects, ancestors of ancient clans, sect masters, divine prodigies...
They appeared one after another, each with a more impressive reputation than the last, but at this moment, few paid attention to them. Everyone's focus was solely on the 'Twin Stones' and Long Ao Tian.
"I'm so excited; this battle will surely be recorded in the annals of history!"
"The Born Supreme, reborn from the flames, fighting the Invincible Supreme, and between the two, there's an inescapable cause and effect! Even in a great era, this battle is one of a kind."
"Fight, start fighting quickly!"
"Why hasn't it begun yet?"
"You're too impatient, and if they really start, it won't be that easy."
"Why do you say that?!"
"Why do you say that? Didn't you see and hear that the Dual-Pupil Warrior has already agreed to fight Long Ao Tian? Now that both parties are here, who will go first, who will follow, is yet to be determined!"
"Eh?! That's true!"
"..."
......
Amidst the crowd's eager anticipation, Shi Hao and Shi Qi faced each other.
After a moment, they both spoke.
They burst into laughter.
But...
The hidden meaning behind their laughter made everyone feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
"How could I not come when my dear brother invites me?" Shi Hao replied.
"It's good that you've come. After waiting for more than half a month, I thought my dear brother was afraid." Shi Qi said with a smile.
"I am afraid, afraid that you'll regret and run away."
"So I hurried here as fast as I could, but unfortunately, I was delayed on the way. Fortunately, you're still here."
"Is that so? Good, good. However, since you're here, let's go up and fight. Let me, as your brother, measure... your capacity."
They took turns speaking, appearing to be casually chatting, but in reality, their murderous intent was fully revealed.
"Hold on."
"What was the name of that one with the eye condition?" Long Ao Tian interrupted at this moment. "Are you so sick that you've forgotten your promise to challenge me?"
"In everything, there's a matter of who comes first."
"Indeed, there should be a matter of who comes first." Shi Qi didn't even turn his head, as if he didn't care about Long Ao Tian at all, and said indifferently, "But my fight with my dear brother was agreed upon more than half a month ago."
"If you count, you're the later one."
"If you're not afraid, and if after seeing my moves, you're still not afraid, then after I measure my dear brother's capacity, it will be your turn."
Long Ao Tian's eyebrows furrowed.
He had always been the one looking down on others; when had he ever been looked down upon by others? This was intolerable!
Long Ao Tian was about to lose his temper, but suddenly, his eyebrows twitched as he received a sound transmission from Lin Fan.
"Hold on, let my disciple fight him first."
"This is my disciple's fate, and ultimately, he needs to resolve it himself.
Long Ao Tian replied with displeasure, "You must think carefully. I look down on him because I am inherently stronger than he is. However, your disciple is too young, and his chances of winning against him are slim."
"I will strike first, so your disciple will at least have some preparation."
"I appreciate your kindness, but when we have time, let’s have a drink. But today... can you give me some face?"
Lin Fan’s attitude made Long Ao Tian feel somewhat uncomfortable.
But Lin Fan had no choice.
Long Ao Tian… no, he should say Long Ao Jiao, was a stubborn donkey. You could only stroke him in the right direction; otherwise, he would fight with anyone, regardless of who they were.
This battle was too important for Shi Hao, and it couldn’t be lost! Long Ao Tian couldn’t be allowed to cause chaos.
"Phew!"
"You don't appreciate good intentions."
"Forget it!"
Long Ao Tian spat, then said, "You have a point."
"I am not an unreasonable person either. I also believe in the order of things."
"Let you two fight first."
"But..."
"That one with the eye condition, you must be careful. Don’t die here and break your promise to me."
He then crossed his legs and sat on the arena, crossing his arms and watching quietly.
Shi Qi turned his head slightly, his dual pupils staring at Long Ao Tian, "Rest assured, my capacity far exceeds your imagination."
"Words are cheap. Come, let me see." Long Ao Tian extended his hand, gesturing for him to proceed.
"You will see."
Shi Qi turned away.
At the same time, Shi Hao stepped onto the arena.
Almost everyone held their breath.
"Hum..."
Special laws spread and swept through, then Shi Qi’s realm was continuously suppressed by the Illusory Deity Realm, finally landing at the peak of the Sixth Stage.
"Woah..."
Shi Qi raised his hand, feeling his current strength, somewhat disappointed, and said, "My dear brother, you are still only at the Sixth Stage? Truly disappointing me."
"Is that so?"
"Big brother." Shi Hao continued to smile, "Then let me see if you will disappoint me."
Currently, Shi Hao was in the late stage of the Rune Inscription Realm, having inscribed the early volume of the Primordial True Explanation into his body, transforming the Divine Dawn into a Dao symbol!
Of course, this was a realm unique to him. In the Illusory Deity Realm’s assessment, his strength was roughly equivalent to the late stage of the Sixth Stage, which included the seventh, eighth, and ninth levels.
This realm was indeed not very high.
But considering his age, it still left many people in awe.
"Sixth Stage."
Xiao Ling'er sighed.
At her age, she had already begun to show promise, being called a generation's divine prodigy, yet, no matter how much she boasted, she had only been a Second Stage minor cultivator...
She suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
"Junior Brother is truly amazing." Zhu Rou Rong exclaimed.
In the previous battle at the Hidden Soul Pavilion, he hadn’t been much help, but fortunately, he had brought back many 'feeds,' so there was still some gain.
"Among all the fellow disciples, I always feel... Shi Hao exerts the greatest pressure on me!" Qin Yu muttered softly.
Beside him, a 'large bird' nodded continuously, its face showing human-like fear.
"Can’t provoke."
Xu Fenglai bared his teeth, "Junior Brother surpassing me is just a matter of time, right?"
Ya Ya remained silent.
The greatest pressure?
Amazing?
Surpassing you is just a matter of time?
Do you know...
His future is harder and more bitter than anyone else's, requiring him to stand alone through the ages.
She sighed inwardly, murmuring to herself, "The cycle of fate will start to turn, and from today, your era will begin."
"Shi Hao..."
"Let them witness your style, the style of the Primeval Heaven Emperor!"
...
"Sixth Stage?"
"So young, yet so powerful!"
"Even Dashi isn’t satisfied? Yet, Xiaoshi is only thirteen or fourteen."
"This... is the realm of a peerless divine prodigy? Damn, I suddenly feel like a nobody. When I crossed into the Sixth Stage at fifty, I was so proud, and everyone in the clan said I had great talent, a divine prodigy of the generation???"
"Damn, people are so different."
"Divine prodigies are not a class."
"They all belong to the true peerless divine prodigy category. There are very few in the world who can match them."
"Amazing..."
"Wait, what’s that?!"
Suddenly, someone shouted in alarm.
Everyone focused, and they saw a shocking and terrifying scene.
They had expected the suppression of realms to end, and the battle between the two Shi brothers to erupt, but after the suppression ended, the Illusory Deity Realm didn’t idle. Instead, it sent down another kindIn this divine radiance, there were also many runes.
This divine radiance was not unfamiliar to everyone, as they had seen it when Long Ao Tian brutally fought the Central State divine prodigies.
Its function was to...
strengthen the divine prodigy arena!
"Whoa!!!"
"Even the Illusory Deity Realm senses the terror of the two Shi brothers?"
"The Sixth Stage 'Ultimate Realm' arena isn’t enough, and the arena is being strengthened even before the battle begins? This proves that the combat power of the two Shi brothers far exceeds expectations!"
"This aura... has already reached the Seventh Stage... no, it’s still growing?!"
"Seventh... Eighth Stage Ultimate?"
"Heaven above! The battle between the two Sixth Stage Shi brothers actually requires an Eighth Stage Ultimate arena?"
The so-called Eighth Stage Ultimate refers to an arena that can withstand the clash of 'Eighth Stage Ultimate' cultivators.
Of course, this refers to regular Eighth Stage Ultimates.
Those who break the ultimate are not included.
But even so, this was astonishing.
After all, they hadn’t even started fighting yet!
The Illusory Deity Realm didn’t even 'test' or 'assess the situation,' but directly upgraded the arena to this level?
"Twin Stones..."
"How terrifying!"
"..."
"Look, they're about to fight!"
"..."
"...Oh?"
"It seems that the Illusory Deity Realm holds you in high regard, little brother," Shi Qi said slowly. "Come, let me, your older brother, give you a test."
Shi Hao chuckled, "Then... 'please' do, dear brother!"
A loud rumble reverberated as his entire body shook, and his powerful blood essence soared.
The dense blood essence almost influenced reality.
The blood within his body surged and roared, and the sound of tigers and leopards echoed.
"Oh?"
Shi Qi instantly understood Shi Hao's intentions and smiled, "A test, is it?"
"That's good."
"Only then can I show you that in every realm, you are inferior to me."
He, too, only used the power of the First Realm, intending to battle Shi Hao at the same level.
In an instant, the two of them clashed, becoming a blur of motion.
The First Realm was devoid of any fancy techniques; it was even difficult to utilize 'True Essence'. It was primarily a battle of physical bodies, testing their strength, reaction speed, and various foundational clashes.
But this straightforward, no-frills battle was all the more exciting.
Fists collided, bodies twisted and turned, and every punch landed with force, creating a thrilling and blood-pumping spectacle!
"Our clan's Divine Son is truly formidable!"
The younger generation of the Shi Clan, watching from their designated area, felt their hearts stir with admiration.
However, the older generation mostly frowned.
"Shi Qi is being a bit careless."
"He's actually choosing to compete with his opponent at the same level."
"The cultivation system that child is practicing has issues. Clearly, he can't be considered an ordinary First Realm cultivator. This kind of direct confrontation will put him at a disadvantage!"
"You shouldn't worry too much, either. Shi Qi is the Invincible Supreme; even if that child has problems, it's absolutely impossible for him to pose a threat to Shi Qi."
"Moreover, with his Invincible Belief, do you really think he'll only use the power of the First Realm? Are you going to make him go all out just because his opponent is using the First Realm's power? Winning like that would be dishonorable and would tarnish the reputation of the Invincible Supreme."
"Not just him, but you and I as well. In such a public setting, unless we're truly outmatched, why would we use our own magical treasures in a battle against someone else?"
"Er..."
Upon hearing these words, they all fell silent.
The logic was indeed sound.
But sometimes, worry clouds judgment.
In their eyes, they should go all out and kill Shi Hao to prevent any future troubles.
After all, the Shi Clan had wronged Shi Hao in the past.
The relationship between the two sides had almost no room for reconciliation, and yet this child, Shi Hao, was extraordinary. He had even managed to survive having his Supreme Bone dug out and had once broken Shi Qi's record in the Primal Land.
This child...
Must not be allowed to live!
...
"Excellent."
Lin Fan muttered.
Xiao Ling'er, standing beside him, listened intently and nodded in agreement, "Indeed, Shi Hao is truly exceptional."
Lin Fan: "..."
He felt a bit embarrassed to admit that his praise was actually for Shi Qi.
He was truly 'excellent'!
He remembered that in the original story, Shi Hao, at the age of eleven, was extremely arrogant and was killed in retaliation.
And now, this 'seventeen-year-old' in front of him was no less impressive, equally excellent, and equally arrogant!
"Hmm... It should be a sure thing."
Although he was confident that Shi Hao was following the template of the Primeval Heaven Emperor, to say he wasn't worried at all would be a lie. As the saying goes, a mother worries about her child's journey of a thousand miles, so how could Lin Fan not be concerned about his disciple's involvement in a battle of destiny?
But now...
Lin Fan felt that the situation was already seven or eight parts secure.
Even eight or nine parts.
...
A loud rumble echoed as their fists collided, as if the air itself had been crushed, emitting a deafening explosion.
Immediately, both parties retreated dozens of steps, not rushing to make the next move.
Shi Qi's expression remained unchanged, "My dear brother, it seems your foundation in the First Realm is quite solid. Since there's no clear winner, let me see how solid your foundation is in the subsequent realms..."
In truth, Shi Qi was well aware that in the First Realm, his physical body and techniques were slightly inferior to Shi Hao.
Therefore, before showing any signs of weakness, he decided to increase his cultivation level and face Shi Hao with the power of the Second Realm.
However, this did not affect his mental state.
He had already known that Shi Hao's physical body in the First Realm was stronger than his.
He just didn't know that Shi Hao was his 'dear brother' until now.
And since he knew that Shi Hao's First Realm was stronger than his, he felt confident and was not affected in any way.
"Good."
Shi Hao didn't bother arguing with him and readily accepted the challenge.
The reason he used the power of the First Realm to fight Shi Qi was to test his own strength and understand his limits. He never thought of relying solely on the First Realm to defeat Shi Qi and settle the score.
Since it was impossible to defeat him in the First Realm, it was better to move on to the next step.
Hum...
One by one, the Heavenly Perversion Realms lit up around Shi Hao.
The spectators below were taken aback.
"Hmm?"
"Weren't we talking about the Second Realm? Why did he jump straight to the Fourth Heavenly Perversion Realm?"
"No, no, that's not right!!!"
An elder among them widened his eyes, his face filled with astonishment. "He has indeed forged his own path! This Heavenly Perversion Realm is not the same as ours. His realm is completely different from the one we cultivate."
"Whether it's the location of the realm or the power it contains."
"This is..."
"His unique Second Realm!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked beyond words.
"This child..."
"Must not be allowed to live!"
The faces of the Shi Clan members turned ashen, their expressions so grim that they seemed to be dripping with water.
Shi Qi, on the other hand, was only slightly surprised.
"My dear brother, you truly are remarkable. Is your Second Realm the Heavenly Perversion Realm?"
"It seems the cultivation system you practice is truly extraordinary!"
"Nonsense!" Lin Fan muttered to himself.
The cultivation system of the Primeval Heaven Emperor, is it ordinary?
