Chapter 130: An Evenly Matched Battle

"Hmm?"

Hearing the voice, the expressions of both men changed in unison, and they simultaneously withdrew their divine abilities.

That is... Senior Pavilion Master's voice!

Jin Chen's heart tightened. He glanced at the Sacred Son of Primal Beginning, a trace of unwillingness in his heart.

It was rare to encounter a worthy opponent, and to miss the opportunity today went against his character. But the Senior Pavilion Master had spoken, and he had no choice but to obey.

"Do you dare to fight outside the city?"

Jin Chen's eyes were filled with aggression, his fighting spirit soaring, piercing through the clouds.

"Why wouldn't I dare?" the Sacred Son of Primal Beginning responded.

As a prodigy of the human race, he didn't believe he was weaker than his opponent. How many weaklings could make it onto the Prodigy Leaderboard?

"Good!"

Jin Chen's wild hair flew. He transformed into a streak of golden light and was the first to fly out of the city. The Sacred Son of Primal Beginning mounted the Golden Divine Beast and followed closely behind.

After the two left, many people in Great Desolate City grew excited.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If their predictions were correct, this battle would be recorded in history, because the identities of these two were too high.

One would become the Sacred Lord of Primal Beginning in the future, and the other would become the patriarch of the Golden-Winged Peng clan.

The records of their battles in their youth would surely spread throughout the world.

"This battle cannot be missed!" someone said aloud.

"Indeed!" the person beside him agreed.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The sound of breaking wind rang out as streaks of light shot into the sky, following the two prodigies out of the city.

...

In the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.

Li Yun watched the two departing figures, breathing a sigh of relief in his heart.

Having just experienced the incident with the killing formation, he didn't want Great Desolate City to suffer another calamity. Although these two were young prodigies, their strength was not to be underestimated.

If they really fought, destroying Great Desolate City would be a simple matter.

Even with the protection of a Sacred Lord-level killing formation, the City Lord probably wouldn't dare to activate it. He would rather see Great Desolate City destroyed than provoke either of these two.

If one of them were to die here, the wrath of either side would be more than he could handle.

"Senior, in your opinion, who is stronger and who is weaker between these two?" Bei Chenheng asked.

"Hmm?"

Li Yun glanced at him without answering, extending a hand and placing it before Bei Chenheng.

"Er..."

Bei Chenheng's face froze.

He gave a dry laugh and said, "Ahem, I was just curious. It's fine if Senior doesn't want to say..."

The two were about to fight.

He didn't want to spend this wasted money. If he waited for an hour or two, the result would probably be out.

"Heh."

Li Yun sneered and said no more. He spread his divine sense, following the footsteps of the two prodigies, extending outward. After all, he was also very curious about this battle.

But as they got farther and farther away, Li Yun's expression changed.

Right now, he only had the cultivation of an early-stage Sacred Lord, which could cover a radius of about a thousand li. Any farther, and he couldn't reach.

"These two are too obedient. Five hundred li would have been enough. Did they have to fly a thousand li away?" Li Yun's face darkened slightly.

He said in a deep voice in his heart, "System, raise my cultivation to the Saint realm!"

[Ding, spending 260,000 Heavenly Secrets Points, the host's cultivation has been raised to the early stage of the Saint realm!]

As the system's voice fell, Li Yun's cultivation soared. His divine sense surged out like a tide, covering a radius of ten thousand li. Everything within ten thousand li was imprinted in his mind like a projection, every detail clear.

From the early stage of Sacred Lord to Saint cost so much. Wouldn't each subsequent realm cost several times more? Li Yun clicked his tongue in his heart.

He had just saved up 350,000 Heavenly Secrets Points, and in the blink of an eye, he had spent more than half of it.

Although he hadn't become a pauper, he was close.

"To have to increase my strength just to watch a fight... there's no one else like me," Li Yun complained in his heart.

...

A thousand li outside Great Desolate City.

The sky was filled with cultivators, all gazing at the two figures hundreds of li away. Today's battle was the focus of all attention.

At this moment, someone had already taken out a jade slip, intending to record the contents of this battle and sell it to other prodigies later. Such precious footage—the others on the Prodigy Leaderboard would surely be tempted!

As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win a hundred battles. Who would give up a chance to understand their opponent?

In the field.

Sunlight fell, and Jin Chen's whole body was like cast gold, shining with brilliant light. His golden hair was very bright, like a golden river of stars!

His eyes opened and closed, cold light shooting out, devouring people's minds, his killing intent like the sea.

"Om!"

A great halberd appeared, black as ink, a zhang long, hanging down. The blade of the halberd shone with a cold light, and the killing intent it radiated made the mountains below tremble.

On the other side, the Sacred Son of Primal Beginning stood tall and motionless, like a mountain. He stood in the sky, his long hair flying, his clothes fluttering. A purple ancient pagoda hung above his head, blooming with ten thousand rays of light.

The two had yet to fight, but an invisible killing intent had already begun to stir. Anyone who was slightly closer felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their hair standing on end, a huge sense of panic rising in their hearts.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

Below, one after another, towering old trees toppled over, torn to dust by the invisible killing intent. Even the ground began to crack, with one fissure after another appearing.

"BOOM!"

A loud crash.

A huge mountain peak instantly collapsed. For a time, rocks flew through the air, and dust rose, covering the sky. Such a terrifying scene made many people gulp nervously.

In the mountains, countless birds and beasts fled in all directions, a scene of chaos.

"Another evenly matched battle!" someone said in a deep voice.

This battle reminded many people of the battle between Feng Nishang and the Shimmering Light Sacred Son.

Although the two who were about to fight were not on the same list, from the might they were displaying now, their strength was probably on par!
