Chapter 687: Chapter 688 Sword Edge Breaks River

The Spiritual Power collision between these two had shaken the entire arena.

The restrictions on the martial arts tournament’s platform made it difficult for even the peak Martial Artists at the life-and-death realm to shake it.

The strength of Chu Fengmian and Night Sky Monarch was almost surpassing the domain of the life-and-death realm.

What astonished the crowd even more was that the realms of Chu Fengmian and Night Sky Monarch were still at the very limit of the Divine Power realm, and neither of them had passed the life-and-death great tribulation.

Without having passed the great life-and-death tribulation, reaching the strength they possessed now, their future prospects were immeasurable.

In this battle, regardless of who won, the victor would become an absolute influential figure in the northern region.

Many pondered this as they watched.

Above the platform,

The brief exchange between the two had ended, and both fighters had taken several steps back due to the force they had unleashed.

In this short exchange, their strengths were evenly matched.

Night Sky Monarch took several steps back to stabilize his stance and revealed a mocking expression as he spoke.

"Very good, I didn’t expect you to indeed be able to withstand my thirty percent strength. It seems I have somewhat underestimated you."

Thirty percent strength?

Upon hearing Night Sky Monarch’s words, the previously quiet stands erupted with shock.

The power of Night Sky Monarch’s punch had seemed terrifying to the extreme, and the fact that Chu Fengmian could withstand it was already unimaginable.

But now, based on what Night Sky Monarch implied, was that punch only a mere thirty percent of his full power?

If thirty percent of his power was already so terrifying, what level would Night Sky Monarch’s true full strength reach?

Among the Martial Artists present, many realized that Night Sky Monarch’s supreme status within Beimang Academy, the foremost sect in the northern region, was not unearned.

It was his strength that allowed him to reign supreme in a place like Beimang Academy, teeming with geniuses, his power spoke for itself.

Night Sky Monarch might indeed be the most concealed amongst them.

"If this is merely Night Sky Monarch’s thirty percent strength, then how could Chu Fengmian possibly contend with him?"

"While Chu Fengmian has encountered numerous adventures, Night Sky Monarch has also had his share of incredible experiences, not to mention he is an Innate Divine Body, inherently invincible within his realm and surpassing the talent of any other."

"Without any other methods, Chu Fengmian may be unable to stand against Night Sky Monarch."

In the hearts of the audience, the scales of this battle were already tipping towards Night Sky Monarch.

"Your strength is indeed sufficient for you to have reached this point, but encountering me is your absolute misfortune. If you had another ten years of devoted cultivation, you might really have a chance to contend with me. Unfortunately for you, that chance no longer exists."

Night Sky Monarch looked at Chu Fengmian and spoke amidst laughter.

"Boy, you’re not so lucky today, and even if you want to run now, it’s impossible. Today, you’re bound to die without a doubt!"

As he spoke, Night Sky Monarch suddenly stepped forward, and his aura climbed once again, becoming several times stronger than before.

The thirty percent strength he mentioned before was not false; the power he was unleashing was indeed much more formidable than what he had shown earlier.

When Night Sky Monarch suddenly stepped forward, the chaotic force condensed onto his fist and he launched another punch.

This punch, unlike the previous one, had distinct power.

As the punch was thrown, the Spiritual Power burst forth on the platform, spreading outwards, instantly turning into a long river of Spiritual Power—a river formed from the chaotic force.

The Chaos River Technique spread to every corner of the platform, leaving no place to hide.

The spiritual power in Ye Tianjun’s punch was enough to create such a Chaos River; any martial artist trapped in it would be constantly bombarded by the power of chaos.

The entire platform was sealed off, with no possibility to dodge.

How immense must one’s spiritual power be to achieve this?

On this platform, there was no escape from this move, unless Chu Fengmian left the platform entirely.

But leaving the platform would mean admitting defeat.

And with Chu Fengmian’s character, how could that be possible?

"Chaos River Technique! This is a powerful secret technique created by Ye Tianjun himself. Who knows how many strong fighters have died at the hands of this move."

Many martial artists recognized Ye Tianjun’s technique.

Outside the platform, countless strong fighters had died to this move.

On this platform, with no room to retreat, the power of this move was many times more terrifying than outside.

"By using this move, it seems Ye Tianjun has no intention of giving Chu Fengmian any chance."

"With Ye Tianjun taking this so seriously, Chu Fengmian has no chance at all."

The crowd looked at Chu Fengmian, who now seemed backed into a corner.

Only if Chu Fengmian truly had the power to counter the Chaos River could he withstand this move; otherwise, he was certain to lose.

"Sword!"

Facing the onslaught of the Chaos River, Chu Fengmian’s expression remained unchanged as he calmly uttered a single word.

In his palm, the Ancestor Dragon Supreme Sword burst forth, and at the moment it did, its Sword Edge slashed fiercely towards the Chaos River.

"Hisss!"

At the moment the Sword Edge appeared, it carried the force of Heaven Creation.

The Sword Light swept across, striking directly at the Chaos River. It tore open a gash in the river—conjured by Ye Tianjun’s concentrated effort—so forcefully.

Following that, as the rip grew larger, the Chaos River completely tore apart, and the countless chaotic forces within it shattered and dissipated.

Chu Fengmian stood his ground, unmoved, and with just his Sword Edge, he easily fended off Ye Tianjun’s full power.

"How is this possible? The Chaos River has been torn apart by his Sword Edge!"

"His swordsmanship, could it be that what he’s shown before wasn’t his limit?"

"Such ancient swordsmanship should have been long lost. How does he possess it?"

Witnessing Chu Fengmian’s single sword stroke tearing through the Chaos River, many stood up in shock.

The moment Ye Tianjun exhibited his full power, everyone considered Chu Fengmian as good as dead.

Nobody thought Chu Fengmian could compete with Ye Tianjun.

Chu Fengmian demonstrated a truly astonishing power, especially his swordsmanship, which was unparalleled among the young generation of the Northern Region.

But against absolute power, even swordsmanship should crumble.

Yet Chu Fengmian actually went against the tide, tearing apart the Chaos River with his Sword Edge, presenting an outcome that defied everyone’s expectations.
