Chapter 98: Chapter 88: Battle of the Twin Prides, Ye Chen Fights the Crown Prince!

Here’s the fifth update!

"Battle!"

At this moment, hearing the two would duel, everyone consciously stepped back, including Guu Yang Martial God and the two Martial God Realm elders, who also stopped talking. They were all anticipating this battle with great expectation.

This was going to be the absolute peak battle of the younger generation in Xiafeng Country, unparalleled by any other.

Beneath the Pillar of Strength, the Martial Arts Square was cleared, and despite a part of it being previously demolished, the Martial Arts Arena was still vast. With both the length and width of a hundred meters, there was more than enough space for the two to fight.

The two contestants stood on opposite sides of the Martial Arts Arena, one clutching a silvery-white long spear, the other wielding a Divine Spear. They faced each other from a distance, spear against spear, with their momentum rapidly climbing at a startling speed.

During their standoff, the blue stone slabs of the Martial Arts Square were rapidly cracking at an astonishing speed.

This made the onlookers shiver in awe of such a terrifying aura which could reach this extent.

It was likely nearing the level of the Martial God Realm.

Boom——

Above the top of the skull of each fighter, a terrifying pillar of light shot up, drawing everyone’s gaze.

The pillar of light that rose from the Crown Prince was a pillar of spiritual energy, encapsulating his entire might. It soared dozens of hundreds of feet high, like a giant dragon ascending into the nine-layered clouds, spreading an astonishing sense of oppression that made one submit.

And Ye Chen was even more shocking. It was a colossal pillar of Blood Qi. Even the Martial Gods such as Guu Yang Martial God were astounded. Although only dozens of hundreds of feet high, it was nonetheless breathtaking. To possess such mighty Blood Qi, he must have a physical body that not only matched but was possibly even more robust than that of Martial God Strong People.

"No wonder his strength is so formidable, he’s a Body Refiner!" Guu Yang Martial God said with a grave expression, realizing that only when one truly engages with such individuals can one understand their terrifyingly unique support.

It was laughable that earlier he had offered to take Ye Chen as a disciple and teach him the Body Refining Method when truly speaking, the other’s Physical Body and Blood Qi were in no way inferior to his own.

The momentum of the two accelerated at an alarming rate, and in the end, their terrifying auras merged with their respective pillars of light, transforming into a True Dragon that shot towards the nine-layered clouds, roaring and battling in the Heavenly Dome, leaving onlookers in shock.

The two hadn’t even started their battle and it had already reached such an intense stage. Once the real battle commenced, it was unfathomable how terrifying it would become, sending shivers down one’s spine.

The Thirteenth Prince watched the two, a hint of sorrow flashing through his eyes. He had thought he could match Ye Chen, but who could have expected Ye Chen to be so formidable, utterly unmatched?

Bang——

The Crown Prince’s Divine Spear landed on the ground with a clang, slicing a deep scar into the hard blue stone slab, sparks flying. He then pointed at Qian Yue, his spear bursting with vigor, and coldly said, "Are you ready?"

Ye Chen’s war intent boiled over. Pointing his long spear at his opponent, he said, "Battle!"

Boom——

Almost at the instant the words were spoken, the two disappeared from their spots, vanishing without a trace.

Just as countless onlookers were searching for their whereabouts, the Martial Arts Arena trembled mightily. Dazzling Light Radiance burst forth as two exceptional Heavenly Prides erupted in a fierce conflict, shaking the Martial Arts Arena.

Boom boom boom——

Their speed was so fast that ordinary people simply couldn’t keep up with them. All they could hear were booming sounds like thunder, as the entire huge Martial Arts Square rapidly cracked.

The audience was shocked, their expressions changing. They were too powerful. The Martial Arts Square couldn’t withstand their violent confrontation. Was this really the Innate Realm?

Even if it was said to be the Martial God Realm, they would believe it, because the fluctuations from the battle were too horrifying, beyond imagination.

The expressions of the three Martial Gods shifted subtly. Being at the Martial God Realm, they could see the exchanges between the two clearly, but they couldn’t help being alarmed themselves. In just a brief moment, both sides collided at least a dozen times with high frequency, almost on par with the Martial God Realm.

As for the Crown Prince, that was to be expected. He was a peerless genius amongst his generation in the Xiafeng Royal Family, even more extraordinary than the Thirteenth Prince, with an exceptional cultivation. He was an absolute Innate High Rank expert, with immense combat power.

Under the circulation of streams of True Essence, the air itself could explode, creating continuous roars as if a sovereign was striking with a Divine Spear in hand. The attacks were so fierce that wherever they went, the ground crumbled inches by inch, ceasing to exist.

But Ye Chen was equally exceptional. There was no sign of True Essence fluctuations on him, yet one could clearly see strands of golden mysterious light circulating on his body. Holding a pale white Demon Bone Spear, he was fighting the Crown Prince on equal footing at close range.

The Crown Prince moved, his expression extraordinarily stern. He felt the strength of Ye Chen but feared nothing, his War Intent boiling rapidly. The Divine Spear stirred, and the Innate True Essence surged forth, condensing into fierce beasts that looked like demonic gods, creating twelve forms that lunged at Ye Chen with their claws and fangs bared.

Without a doubt, he was of the Heavenly Pride, able to mold Innate Condensation at will during battle, turning True Essence into Demon Beasts to attack, and not just one but twelve, far surpassing the number that ordinary Innate Strong People could reach.

Ye Chen, however, held a Long Spear in his right hand, and behind him emerged a massive Golden Lion Head roaring and howling.

Innate Martial Technique, Golden Lion Roar!

Roar——

With a bellow, the invisible force of sound waves dispersed. It wasn’t just the force of sound, but also Ye Chen’s Supreme Level unbeatable will, visible to the naked eye, that directly destroyed the condensing fierce beasts. Then Ye Chen’s figure moved, like lightning traversing the long sky, charging at the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince stood tall and unafraid, his Divine Spear pointed directly at Ye Chen’s throat, aiming for the vital spot.

Ye Chen bellowed, shaking the entire Martial Arts Square. He channeled Human Origin Power into his right hand, transforming it into a lustrous golden Hand Blade to clash head-on with the Divine Spear. The strike sparked the most dazzling Divine Radiance, engulfing everything.

Both were engaged in close combat, their momentum soaring to the sky, fiercely battling. Only the three Martial Gods could clearly see all of this. The Thirteenth Prince and the elite students from the Heavenly Level Academy could barely make out the fight.

One has to marvel at the strength of Ye Chen’s Physical Body, able to withstand the Crown Prince’s Divine Spear. Otherwise, even a Martial God might get hurt.

No wonder Ye Chen, even without True Essence fluctuations, could dominate his peers, hitting the strength monument to release Seven-colored Light. All of this was not merely talk. Such a supremely strong Treasure Body made everyone incredulous.

The two continued to fight without pause, neither outmatching the other, eliciting continuous exclamations of awe from the audience. There was satisfaction in witnessing a real peak battle among the younger generation; such an event was not an everyday occurrence.

Moreover, both could be called peerless geniuses of Xiafeng Country, a once-in-a-millennium occurrence. This battle between the youths could be regarded as the battle of the millennium.

Boom rumble——

Finally, amidst the great battle, the Martial Arts Square could no longer withstand it. The arena, a hundred meters in length and width, completely collapsed, the sound of its destruction echoing incessantly.

This scene left everyone’s mouths agape, struck speechless by shock.

They were too strong. The Martial Arts Arena, built of sturdy rock, was hard to damage even by Innate Experts, but now it had been destroyed by their might. One had to admit the terrifying battle power of both sides.

Shua——

In the midst of the battle, both sides separated at the same time, standing on opposite sides of the ruined Martial Arts Arena, each unscathed and without a wrinkle in their clothing, standing atop the rubble looking at each other, their momentum undiminished.

Both of them were as aggressive as a rainbow, facing each other.

Such stamina could make their peers feel ashamed.

The Crown Prince spoke, showing a hint of admiration, "Ye Chen, you are indeed strong, to actually fight me to a standstill. This makes you worthy of being my opponent. However, if that’s all the strength you have, you might as well admit defeat, because I only used half of my power just now."

As he spoke, his overall momentum suddenly increased by a great margin, even more oppressive, his terrifying aura bursting forth, causing even the three Martial Gods to change color, as it was already approaching the Martial God Realm.

The Crown Prince, only twenty-two years old, had reached this stage, which was shocking.

The others all gasped in awe, exclaiming at how fierce the battle had been, realizing it was only half his fighting power.

Wasn’t the Crown Prince too terrifying?

"Is that so?"

Ye Chen’s expression unchanged, he lightly replied, his body also releasing a terrifying aura. It was merely the aura of the Innate Realm, but the Blood Qi surging from the top of the skull slowly merged with the True Essence Power, turning into red Blood Essence, rolling forth like surging waves, mighty and vigorous.

He looked at the Crown Prince and said with a light smile, "So, another battle, then?"
