Lin Yuan's words caused Feng Wuyang to fall into thought.
Since Xiao Yun was accepted by their Chaos Sacred Land, he had been under their protection after his physique was initially repaired.
Although many elders in their Chaos Sacred Land would spar with Xiao Yun to supplement his deficiencies and combat experience, it was not a battle for life and death. It was merely guidance-based combat. While it might enhance Xiao Yun's martial arts and divine abilities, it could not temper his fighting will and combat techniques.
Moreover, due to his powerful physique and cultivation technique, Xiao Yun had always overwhelmed others, rarely encountering evenly matched opponents who could make him fight with all his might.
Therefore, while Xiao Yun's combat power was indeed strong, his techniques, mastery of martial arts, and development of the Chaos Immortal Physique were still inferior to Jiang Li's.
"Perhaps you are right. Unrivaled talent and unrivaled cultivation techniques are not enough to cultivate the most invincible peak expert!" Feng Wuyang sighed after a long pause.
Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow, surprised that his old rival actually agreed with him.
"Let's not talk about that. How is that matter progressing?" Lin Yuan asked, watching the distant battle.
High in the sky, with Xiao Yun activating the heaven-defying divine ability of magic immunity, he was no longer so passive and began to counterattack.
However, after Jiang Li unleashed his terrifying spiritual fire, Xiao Yun appeared somewhat restrained.
After all, Jiang Li's spiritual fire had fused numerous flames. Not only could it inflict terrifying damage to spiritual power, but it also possessed extreme temperatures that could turn everything into nothingness.
Therefore, even though Xiao Yun had cultivated the magic immunity divine ability, he was still extremely wary.
"Everything is proceeding smoothly. We are just waiting for their final frenzy!" Feng Wuyang murmured, a flicker of ardor in his eyes.
"That's good. It's a pity that these two haven't fully matured yet. If only we could wait for them to become true peak experts; our chances of victory would be much greater!" Lin Yuan said softly, a hint of lament in his eyes.
Feng Wuyang nodded and then turned his gaze back to the distant battle…
On the battlefield not far away, terrifying and peerless Void Nether Emperor Flames swirled around Jiang Li.
The extreme heat caused the surrounding space to become incredibly distorted.
Even with magic immunity, Xiao Yun still endured the searing pain of the intense heat, and his purple-gold long robe was already tattered in many places.
He had completely lost his former elegant and distinguished demeanor.
"Chaos Divine Fist!!!"
After a long while, Xiao Yun unleashed his terrifying and unparalleled fist-path divine ability once more.
Chaos energy surged continuously within Xiao Yun's body, then condensed onto his fist, striking towards Jiang Li.
"This is interesting!" Jiang Li muttered to himself, noticing the terrifying power emanating from Xiao Yun.
"Divine Demon True Body!!!"
Jiang Li then activated the ultimate divine ability of his Divine Demon Town Prison Art. The divine demon seeds within his body radiated light, and Jiang Li transformed into an ancient divine demon, his entire being filled with an unparalleled, resplendent black-gold radiance.
Simultaneously, Jiang Li unleashed the Eternal Reincarnation Fist. The power of reincarnation and Jiang Li's myriad immortal force surged continuously.
Wielding his terrifying power, Jiang Li also struck towards Xiao Yun.
Seeing Jiang Li dare to collide with him head-on, a look of joy flashed across Xiao Yun's face.
This Chaos Divine Fist was the Chaos divine ability he had comprehended most deeply, and he was confident that he could suppress Jiang Li with this divine ability alone.
"Boom!!!"
In an instant, the two who had unleashed their terrifying divine abilities collided.
A destructive aura spread outwards, and the surrounding space reverberated with successive explosions.
In the center, the immense power formed by the convergence of countless black-gold lights and vast amounts of Chaos energy shone brightly.
"How is this possible..." Xiao Yun, mid-collision, was utterly horrified. The terrifying impact force was constantly tearing at his body, causing him excruciating pain.
Yet, he saw that Jiang Li on the other side seemed completely unfazed, as if unaffected.
He possessed the heaven-defying divine ability of magic immunity; how could Jiang Li…
"Bang!!!"
Just as Xiao Yun was still lost in bewilderment, Jiang Li's power erupted again.
A fist imprint imbued with the violent will of the Ancient Demon Heavenly Fist struck again.
Xiao Yun, already in a precarious situation, his pupils contracted, and infinite fear rose in his heart. He quickly crossed his arms, circulating his Chaos Divine Power to protect himself and resist the fist imprint.
In an instant, the fist imprint struck Xiao Yun. Even with magic immunity, this fist imprint carried a brutal and frenzied will, directly hitting Xiao Yun's arms.
With a ferocious impact, Xiao Yun's arms were instantly reduced to a bloody mess, with countless drops of blood splattering everywhere.
Xiao Yun immediately lost consciousness and fell straight down.
"This Ancient Demon Heavenly Fist is so powerful," Jiang Li mused inwardly, looking at the defeated Xiao Yun.
What Jiang Li had just used was the Ancient Demon Heavenly Fist obtained in the Northern Plains. After numerous practices, coupled with the help of the Dao Enlightenment Stone, Jiang Li had successfully cultivated this terrifying fist technique.
"This blood!" At this moment, Jiang Li suddenly felt a vibration from the Creation Immortal Stone within him.
It was the blood splattered from Xiao Yun's shattered arms. Some of this blood contained an inexplicable aura that triggered the movement of the Creation Immortal Stone.
This was the innate essence blood of the Chaos Immortal Physique. Why would it cause the Creation Immortal Stone to vibrate?
Never mind, I'll collect it first. Jiang Li took a deep breath, then collected the innate essence blood of the Chaos Immortal Physique among the scattered blood.
"Ah, and Xiao Yun's spatial ring too?" Jiang Li's eyes lit up. Amidst Xiao Yun's shattered blood, there was an ancient spatial ring.
Looking at the spatial ring, Jiang Li unhesitatingly accepted it.
Since he could not kill Xiao Yun, taking his spatial ring would be his reward.
"He was defeated so easily?" Feng Wuyang, watching from afar, felt a sense of daze as he saw Xiao Yun, with his arms shattered, fall straight down.
He didn't even notice Jiang Li collecting Xiao Yun's immortal body essence blood and spatial ring.
Since his debut, Xiao Yun had been invincible all the way. Now, he was so easily defeated by Jiang Li.
Xiao Yun had used all his means, fought honorably and squarely, and given his all, yet he lost without any suspense.
This meant that no matter how many more times he fought, Xiao Yun would still have no chance of winning.
"This defeat might not be a bad thing for Xiao Yun!" Lin Yuan said calmly from the side.
Feng Wuyang pondered, nodding slightly. Perhaps.
Xiao Yun's journey had been too smooth, without any setbacks or failures.
How could he become a supreme expert on such a smooth path?
Rather than letting him fail in a more critical confrontation in the future, it was better for him to experience the pain of defeat now.
Hopefully, this defeat will allow him to take another step forward, Feng Wuyang murmured to himself.
