Chapter 433: A Worthy Opponent

"Now!"

Swoosh!!!

Behind Ye Wuque, the celestial demon wings instantly expanded to their fullest!

The world's ultimate speed burst!

His figure, as if breaking the limits of space and time, left a slowly fading afterimage at the spot, while his true body, like a phantom, appeared directly in front of the rippling energy wave!

"Chaos Heavenly Emperor Fist!!!"

Clenching his right fist, the Chaos Divine Power, Sacred Battle Qi, Space-Time Power, and the primal combat intent within his body… all forces, under the cold, precise control of the Supreme Heavenly Dao, converged into the fist blade in the most perfect, most concentrated, most explosive manner!

One punch erupts! Returning to the root! A supreme fist intent that destroys all laws, suppresses the heavens, and reopens Chaos, like the first speck of light at the dawn of Open Heaven and Split Earth, suddenly bursts forth!

Boom!!!!

Where the fist blade points, that seemingly empty Eternal Night Void, like the surface of a stone thrown into a mirror, erupts… and shatters!

A terrifying black hole over ten million li in diameter, its edges coursing with Chaos Qi and shattered laws, instantly formed!

Within the black hole, destructive power raged wildly, mercilessly devouring and shredding all matter, energy, even light!

"Hm?!"

From deep within the Eternal Night, a barely perceptible, slightly surprised hum came.

Ye Junlin's figure was forced to emerge from concealment, right at the edge of the black hole's eruption!

He clearly did not expect Ye Wuque could so precisely seize the almost non-existent flaw in him and launch such a fierce counterattack!

In the haste, he did not panic; the Eternal Night Heavenly Dao power roared wildly!

"Eternal Night... Swallow Star!"

He single‑handedly lunged and grabbed fiercely into the endless dark Void beside him!

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz...

In the distant starry sky, ten ancient stars already eroded by Eternal Night, stripped of all light and turned into pitch‑black dead silence, were astonishingly summoned by him with his supreme Great Power!

The ten black giants spun and compressed rapidly in his palm, eventually forming a fist‑sized yet heavy enough to crush a Star Domain… Dark Star Core!

Then he also launched a punch; on the fist blade, the terrifying Dark Star Core coiled, brazenly colliding with Ye Wuque's Chaos Heavenly Emperor Fist!

Bang——!!!!

This collision's sound was muffled to the extreme, yet made every spectator's heart seem to miss a beat!

The Dark Star Core and the Chaos fist aura exploded simultaneously!

Ye Wuque's supreme fist intent that destroys all laws and suppresses the heavens, like the sharpest chisel, forcibly pierced the Dark Star Core's Jiemie, and with unabated momentum, struck fiercely onto Ye Junlin's fist blade!

Crack!

A faint bone‑cracking sound rang out.

On Ye Junlin's jade‑white fist, a subtle crack appeared, and dark‑golden blood seeped out!

His entire arm tingled slightly, and under the impact of that massive force, his body uncontrollably staggered backward… taking a step!

Although it was only a step, although it was only a slight fracture of the fist bone.

But for Ye Junlin, who had never suffered a loss in a head‑on clash nor been forced back by peers, it was… unprecedented!

"Underestimated you..." Ye Junlin steadied himself, looked down at the crack on his fist, and in the abyss of his double pupils, not only was there no anger, but the spark of excitement burned even brighter!

"Very good! This is… interesting!"

Before the words finished, his figure flickered, and he voluntarily… dispersed!

His whole being turned into a strand of pure, writhing darkness, which then stretched, deformed, and coalesced rapidly…

Finally, it became a… entirely black sword, its blade seemingly carved from solidified Eternal Night, its edge flowing with void ripples that devour all light, exuding a terrifying sword intent that severs causality and ends reincarnation — the Eternal Night Heavenly Sword!

"Eternal Night... Heavenly Sword Slash!"

The dark sword light, silent and soundless, yet moved at a speed beyond the limits of thought!

As if cutting from the beginning of Time to its end, from the birth of the universe to Jiemie!

Where the sword light passed, even existence itself was slashed with a black wound!

Ye Wuque's figure instantly shifted sideways, his celestial demon wings fluttering, evading the lethal sword by a hair's breadth!

At the same time, he pointed his finger like a sword, a formless, intangible yet seemingly able to sever all worldly ties and destinies, a profound sword intent soaring skyward!

"Space-Time Slash!"

The hazy sword light arrived from behind, not a blunt clash against the Eternal Night Heavenly Sword, but like the most deft scalpel, precisely cutting the invisible law line that linked the Eternal Night Heavenly Sword to Ye Junlin's body!

Snick—!

A faint slicing sound rang out.

The Eternal Night Heavenly Sword's blade light paused slightly, its power reduced by a third!

Seizing the chance, Ye Wuque launched a punch; the Chaos fist aura collided fiercely with the weakened Eternal Night sword light, both annihilating each other!

The two figures retreated apart amid the explosion, standing far from each other.

At this moment, both were stained with blood.

Ye Wuque's black robe over his chest was slit open, revealing beneath a deep wound down to the bone, still bearing the Jiemie sword intent.

Ye Junlin's white robe also bore several fist and palm marks, with a strand of dark‑golden blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

In just half an hour of fierce battle, the two had progressed from probing to serious, then to employing Heavenly Dao power, unleashing all killing techniques!

Yet still… they were evenly matched, hard to tell who had the upper hand!

Countless spectators below were already shocked into silence, staring blankly at the two god‑like figures, their minds seized by the battle beyond imagination.

"These two… truly like needle against wheat… a worthy opponent, a meeting of great talents…"

An elder cultivator muttered to himself, his eyes filled with complexity.
