Chapter 309: Lao Feng

Lao Feng and Lei Yuhuang!

Their battle is finally about to begin!

Moreover, Senior Chu specially warned that some "other thing" has set its sights on Lao Feng! What could it be? The bizarre lifeforms birthed by this battlefield? Remnants linked to that "bizarre Great Calamity"? Or perhaps… beings from other epochs?

Whatever it is, any brother daring to covet him is an enemy of Ye Wuque!

Without any hesitation, Ye Wuque's divine power surged around him; after gauging the direction, his whole body instantly became a brilliant golden arc that tore the Void, racing north at the fastest speed!

Where he passed, the chaotic spatial fissures and turbulent energy were directly smashed aside by his forceful flesh and divine power, unable to hinder him in the slightest.

His speed was extreme; before long, a vast, endless canyon that seemed to have been forcefully split by supreme might appeared at the horizon's edge.

Above the canyon, the Void was relatively stable; two figures stood far apart, and the invisible aura already collided and compressed in the middle, causing the air in that region to solidify.

One person, dressed in snow‑white robes, tall and upright, with a handsome face, was Feng Caichen!

He wielded the Yangwu Sword; the sword intent around him had not fully erupted, yet it was like a volcano about to erupt, suppressing a terrifying power capable of slashing through millennia.

Especially his eyes, cold as ten‑thousand‑year ancient ice, where swirling killing intent and hatred almost solidified, locked firmly onto the opponent across from him.

The other figure, towering and majestic, wore a luxurious battle robe embroidered with thunder patterns; dazzling electric light coiled around him, and tiny lightning arcs leapt among his fluttering hair.

His visage was handsome and imposing, his aura lofty, with an innate brilliance and domineering air between his brows, as if the lord of thunder had descended to the mortal world—he was the Thunder Clan demon, Lei Yuanhuang!

The two had not yet moved, yet the tense atmosphere of needle‑point versus wheat‑blade already permeated the entire canyon sky.

Around the canyon, on relatively safe floating mountain masses or shattered stars, a dozen or so figures had already gathered.

These figures exuded auras that were forceful, obscure, or fierce—none weak—indeed they were other Young Supremes who had stepped onto this fractured spacetime battlefield alongside Ye Wuque.

Ye Wuque's arrival did not deliberately conceal his aura, immediately drawing the attention of some.

A streak of light flashed, and a figure landed not far from Ye Wuque.

The person wore a brocade robe, dashing and charming, with a handsome face bordering on the uncanny; he toyed with an apparently ordinary folding fan, a faint smile at the corner of his mouth—he was Chen Shimei, one of the Ten Great Emperor Fiends, of the Reverse Chaos Heavenly Demon clan.

"Brother Ye, have you been well?" Chen Shimei greeted with a smile, as old acquaintances meeting.

Ye Wuque nodded at him, but his gaze never left the two figures at the canyon's center.

Chen Shimei also restrained his smile; his fluttering fan paused slightly, his solemn gaze turned to the battlefield, and in a low voice he said, "Looks like we have a good show ahead. This battle may not be as simple as just deciding a winner… I smell an undying, relentless aura." He clearly sensed Feng Caichen's unabashed, resolute killing intent.

The other beings around whispered among themselves, their eyes filled with anticipation and scrutiny.

"Truly needle‑point versus wheat‑blade… what do you think, who among these two will prevail?"

"Hard to say; both are top‑tier demons, their hidden cards unknown, the outcome unpredictable."

"The Thunder Clan forbidden demon, Lei Yuanhuang! He is the undisputed young‑generation leader of Yong Heng Tian! He has created countless miracles! Since his debut, he has surged forward, crushing his peers, never once defeated! His fame has already shaken the entire Nine Heavens Ten Lands! Many Ancient Entities have praised him as a terrifying figure destined to shake the world in the future!"

Beings more familiar with Yong Heng Tian spoke of Lei Yuanhuang in extremely high regard, their tone tinged with deep awe.

"Hey, Brother Ji, you hail from Yong Heng Tian and are the Ji family's top young generation; having spent a day with Lei Yuanhuang, you should know more about him, right? What exactly… is his caliber?" a being asked, casting a gaze toward a distinguished handsome young man not far away.

The man wore cloud‑patterned elegant attire, his face noble, his brows bearing an innate dignity and authority; his aura was as deep as an abyss and as towering as a mountain, unfathomable.

He was Ji Hongyu, the young master of the Ji Clan, the top of the young generation, a supreme forbidden force of Yong Heng Tian!

In this Young Supreme trial, he likewise swept through invincibly, forcefully seizing the top position; his strength was beyond doubt.

At this moment, when asked about Lei Yuanhuang, Ji Hongyu's usually calm face revealed an unprecedented solemn hue.

He fell silent for a moment, his gaze complex as it turned to the distant figure entwined in lightning, and finally, he slowly uttered four words:

"Unfathomable."

For Ji Hongyu, himself a top demon of Yong Heng Tian, to give such an appraisal, the terror of Lei Yuanhuang is evident.

Of course, there were also beings who highly praised Feng Caichen.

"Yet Feng Caichen is far from an easy opponent! He rose like a sudden meteor, blazing! First, he dominated everything in the Sword Son Trial of the countless Sword Dao lineage, seizing the top spot; now he has been confirmed as the current inheritor of the mysterious Ancient Sword Tomb, a disciple of a supreme titan who participated in divine transformation!"

"His sword Dao attainment, when compared across all the young generation of the Nine Heavens Ten Lands, yields few peers! This battle's outcome remains uncertain!"

Ye Wuque listened to the surrounding chatter, his expression calm.

He looked toward the awe‑inspiring Lei Yuanhuang, his eyes flickering slightly.

Indeed, this person was extraordinarily remarkable; his presence felt countless times more forceful than the previous Ye Clan Three Heroes, with power coiled inside like a dormant thunder sea—once unleashed, it would shatter the heavens.

Nevertheless, Ye Wuque naturally trusted Feng Caichen!

Lao Feng's sword‑heart purity, his steadfast will, and his dedication and insight into sword Dao are unparalleled in his life!

In this battle, he firmly believed Lao Feng would never be defeated!

At that moment, in the battlefield's center, Lei Yuanhuang's voice, like distant thunder, sounded faintly—soft yet clear across all directions, bearing absolute confidence and arrogance:

"Hehe, Feng Caichen, you truly are extraordinary, worthy of my attention, and to duel me!"

He stood with his hands behind his back, lightning swirling around him, as if a deity wielding heavenly punishment, scrutinizing his opponent.

"Make your move. I've long heard that the current inheritor of the Ancient Sword Tomb possesses dazzling talent, sword Dao that reaches divinity; today, I shall truly experience it, to see whether your sword's sharpness or my thunder's might prevails!"

Feng Caichen still said nothing.

All words, before the bone‑deep hatred and resolute killing intent, appeared pale and powerless.

Answering Lei Yuanhuang was a sudden, earth‑splitting, dazzling sword light!

"Clang—!!"

The Yangwu Sword emitted a thunderous sword cry that resonated through the nine heavens!

Feng Caichen moved!

His strike was a shattering of the heavens!

A blade honed to perfection, as if containing the Heavenly Dao's judgment will, burst across the sky, illuminating the dim canyon!

Within the sword light merged an unmatched, overwhelmingly forceful, supreme yang and rigidity power of heavenly punishment!

The sword light surged grandly, like the Milky Way rolling back, akin to divine punishment from the Heavenly Dao, bearing supreme authority to judge all things and annihilate all laws, crushing toward Lei Yuanhuang!

The sword's ferocity and pure intent moved even the distant spectators.

"Well timed!"

Lei Yuanhuang's eyes flashed; not only unafraid, but a hint of hunting‑joy appeared on his face.

He likewise raised his hand, pointing his finger like a sword, and jabbed forward!

"Boom— Crack—!!"

A massive, Dragon‑sized, dazzling purple Lei Dian, like a Destruction‑giant python breaking free of its shackles, roared as it burst from his fingertip!

Within this Lei Dian also contained an extremely intense force of Heavenly Punishment!

Moreover, because it itself is a lightning‑path talent, naturally aligned with the force of Heavenly Punishment, the Destruction aura radiated by this Lei Dian seemed even purer, even more ferocious!

The brilliant sword light and the ferocious Lei Dian collided fiercely in the canyon sky, without any flourish!

"Dong—!!!"

As if two Ancient Stars collided, the deafening roar burst instantly!

The terrifying Energy Storm expanded suddenly in a ring, stripping a thick layer off the canyon walls on both sides, and countless rocks turned to dust!

Sword light and Lei Dian crazily eroded, annihilated, and exploded each other!

The dazzling glare made it impossible to look directly.

A moment later, the Energy Storm slowly dissipated.

In the Void, sword light and Lei Dian simultaneously vanished, fading into nothingness.

This time, the unadorned head‑on clash resulted in... an even split!

The original calm and pride on Lei Yuanhuang's face was, for the first time, replaced by a clear, faint sense of surprise.

His Lei Dian power, innate and nurtured by the earth, contains a trace of Primordial Heavenly Punishment's true intent, boundless in might, with no peer at its level.

He did not expect that Feng Caichen's seemingly casual sword intent, which fused the force of Heavenly Punishment, could be so precise and so overwhelmingly strong in standing toe‑to‑toe with his Lei Dian Heavenly Punishment, without a hint of inferiority!

"Interesting..." The battle intent in Lei Yuanhuang's eyes finally ignited completely, becoming even more fierce, "It seems that the immovable true‑strength can no longer take you down."

The Lei light that enveloped his body began to grow deeper, its color shifting from brilliant purple to a darker, more terrifying indigo... an aura far more dreadful than before started to awaken slowly.
