"Boom!"

As the words were spoken, dark clouds immediately rolled across the Heavenly Vault above, with lightning flashing and thunder booming.

A gigantic wave rose on the distant Huai River, resembling a towering mountain rapidly approaching from upstream.

Atop the mountain of water stood a tall figure.

He was clad in Golden Armor, towering around ten feet tall, with a flat nose, prominent forehead, white hair, green body, golden eyes, and snow-white teeth; his whole being was enveloped in an almost tangible Evil Qi.

Although from a distance, Kong Xuan was immediately drawn to him.

He keenly sensed that this was a belligerent figure.

As the figure rapidly approached, Kong Xuan could already feel the frenzied battle intent emanating from him.

Mo Liqing felt the immense pressure from the other and quickly shouted loudly, "Who goes there?"

The newcomer swung the Giant Spirit God Palm cleanly, covering the sky as it struck towards Mo Liqing, while bellowing, "I am the Huai River God, Wu Zhiqi!"

"The Ancient Water God, Wu Zhiqi?"

Mo Liqing couldn't help but exclaim.

Before his words ended, he was sent flying by a slap from Wu Zhiqi.

"A mere Taiyi Golden Immortal dares to run wild in my Huai River!"

Wu Zhiqi sneered and turned to Kong Xuan, saying nonchalantly, "Had enough of your bullying tactics? If you really have the capability, fight me first!"

Kong Xuan spoke indifferently, "Wu Zhiqi, I have heard of you. During Ancient Times, you were quite a figure, but you failed to recognize the destiny ordained by Heaven, causing troubles in the rising tide of the Human Race and ending up sealed and imprisoned.

I didn't expect that after millions of years, you would be able to escape your cage and see the light of day again.

However, what truly surprises me is that you have now stooped to become Yu Yuan's lapdog, which is truly disappointing."

"Heh heh..." Wu Zhiqi laughed lightly, his words carrying deep meaning, "From what you say, aren't you also a lapdog for Great Shang?"

"I have past ties with the ancestor of Great Shang."

Kong Xuan succinctly explained his reason for supporting Great Shang and then looked at Wu Zhiqi with a calm tone, "Even during the Ancient Times, you were merely a lesser Demon God. Now that you have become Yu Yuan's lapdog, you are even less worthy to be my opponent!"

"Arrogance!"

Wu Zhiqi raged, his eyes suddenly flashing golden.

Back when he dominated the Huai River, who wouldn't call him Water God Grandfather?

Back then, even if not invincible under Heaven, he was considered one of the top masters—had the Human Race not been at its peak, the outcome between him and Da Yu might have been uncertain!

Yet now, having broken out of his cage and about to demonstrate his abilities, he is scorned as a mere lapdog!

When has Wu Zhiqi ever suffered such humiliation in his travels across the world?

Even Da Yu, a formidable ruler of the past, treated him as a formidable enemy of life and death.

Yet Kong Xuan belittled him so!

How could he bear it?

Right away, he reached out to Kong Xuan with a light hook of his finger, and coldly chuckled, "Listening to your boastful words, today I have to see just how capable you really are."

Kong Xuan smiled and replied calmly, "Wu Zhiqi, if you think just by your own power you can oppose me, then you are gravely mistaken.

However, since you are stubbornly courting death, I won't mind personally sending you on your way."

Having said that, he raised his hand to gather a mantra, and slowly voiced a Mantra, "Come forth!"

In an instant, above the Nine Heavens, a towering Ancient Divine Mountain appeared out of nowhere, darkening the sky as if it were night, making it impossible to see one's own hands.

Only the Ancient Divine Mountain emitted a faint golden light.

Nearby, Princess Long Ji, Mo Family Four Generals, and others were all enveloped by the Ancient Divine Mountain.

They could only feel a sudden surge in pressure, as if the sky was collapsing.

The Ancient Divine Mountain was immensely heavy, with five peaks, each resembling pillars reaching to the heavens...

Only then did everyone realize that it was not a real mountain, but an immeasurably huge palm! The five peak-like pillars reaching to the heavens were actually the fingers of the opponent!

Referenced only by its enormity, the immortals mistook it for an Ancient Divine Mountain.

"Do you also think you can cover the sky with one hand?"

Wu Zhiqi bellowed angrily, raising his fist and striking fiercely towards the descending giant palm.

Bang!

An explosion sounded.

Dust rose everywhere.

The blocked sunlight poured down again.

As the dust settled, Wu Zhiqi's fist was bloodied, his large body twisted and deformed, obviously having sustained serious injuries.

However, Kong Xuan's Divine Skills were also broken, and the sky-covering giant palm vanished out of thin air.

"Kill!"

Wu Zhiqi, whether out of rage or excitement, roared and instantaneously turned into a golden light rushing towards Kong Xuan. He swung the Giant Spirit God Palm, his iron fist glowing metallically, smashing fiercely toward Kong Xuan.

Kong Xuan stood among the clouds, completely unflustered, gently raising his hand to meet the attack.

"Boom!"

The two fists collided, creating an extremely terrifying shockwave, causing the whole Heaven and Earth to tremble.

At that moment, numerous Dao Runes fell from the void around Kong Xuan, forming into several Order Divine Chains surrounding the two, containing the terrifying shockwave within, preventing it from leaking out.

Wu Zhiqi's expression changed slightly.

Two individuals clashed with raw force, and he did not gain the upper hand.

Meanwhile, the opponent not only caught his punch but also divided their attention to alter the spatial rules around them, turning their surroundings into a closed battlefield. This was to ensure their overflow of Mana during the fight would not affect the Human Race warriors below.

From this aspect, the opponent seemed extremely adept!

This realization sent a chill through his heart, and simultaneously stoked his fury.

"What arrogance! Today, you shall taste my power!"

With a roar, his figure suddenly flashed, striking out with a fist as fast as lightning towards Kong Xuan.

Kong Xuan dodged sideways, brandishing a long sword in his hand and fiercely slashing forward.

The radiant sword light directly targeted him.

His palm, covered in blue-grey hair, shimmered with golden light, with a faint gathering of supremely firm Divine Power.

The next instant, he thundered out with a punch.

It seemed as if the void in the sky, like a piece of paper, fiercely shook "hurra hurra," as if it was about to tear at any moment, and a forceful Yang-styled Divine Power surged towards the sky.

"Bang!"

His massive fist collided with the radiant sword light, creating a loud boom, reverberating to where the Mo Family Four Generals, Princess Long Ji, and others stood, causing their eardrums to buzz.

Many even struggled to stand firm, nearly falling from the sky.

The dazzling sword light slowly shattered in mid-air, then gradually faded, leaving only a broken Immortal Sword whining as it returned to Kong Xuan's side.

Kong Xuan slightly furrowed his brows, his gaze turning somewhat frosty.

This was the first time he was at a disadvantage, even having his close-quarter Immortal Sword shattered by a punch.

This outcome left him somewhat surprised.

However, upon seeing the blue-grey haired hand of his opponent also trembling slightly, he once again wore a confident smile, showing everything was still under his control, and lightly said, "Is this the extent of your skills?"

During this conversation, he stretched out his right hand again.

At the same time, a pitch-black enormous hand materialized from the Nine Heavens above, like a Divine Mountain covering the heavens and earth, casting a shadow over everything.

The black giant hand spanned across the sky, pressing down towards him like Mount Tai bearing down.

This hand was so heavy that it caused the void to continuously collapse.

"Ah~"

He looked up towards the Heavenly Vault, opening his mouth to emit a deep roar, his body enveloped in a faint golden light, his powerful aura shot up to the skies, causing the watching Mo Family Four Generals, Liu Huan, Quyang Immortal, and others to involuntarily tremble.

Then, he ferociously spat out a golden light column that pierced through the black giant hand.

"Rumble!"

Thunderous noises echoed across Heaven and Earth.

It was as if a mountain had collapsed, the penetrated giant hand gradually dissipating with the wind.

Simultaneously, the golden light column emitted from his mouth also revealed its true form.

It was a round stick completely golden in color, looking heavy and powerful, like a Golden Dragon descending from the sky, commanding respect and worship.

In the sunlight, that golden round stick shone with a breathtaking brilliance, unbearable to look directly at.

At this moment, he held the Golden Stick, pointing it towards Kong Xuan from afar, his golden pupils filled with high fighting spirit, his demeanor proudly commanding across all directions, his movements brimming with vigor.

"Be careful!" From a distance, Princess Long Ji suddenly shouted out loud, "That Kong Xuan has mastered a Divine Skill that can erase others' Spiritual Treasures, just now all our Spiritual Treasures were erased by him!"

He nodded slightly.

In fact, right upon his arrival, he had already witnessed Kong Xuan using the Five-Color Divine Light to erase Spiritual Treasures.

Therefore, he continually fought bare-handedly and did not use his Spiritual Treasure.

But up to now, feeling the strength of the opponent, he might likely lose if he did not utilize his Spiritual Treasure.

Elsewhere, Kong Xuan still maintained a calm and composed demeanor, seemingly placing no importance on him, casually extending his hand and releasing five rays of Divine Light, resembling five Divine Dragons lunging forward.

"Bang!"

His body burst into golden light, gripping the Golden Stick tightly, bearing a dignified and solemn presence.

He simply smashed down the stick directly.

"Puff!"

A sound of destruction echoed between Heaven and Earth, his strike directly shattered the five Divine Dragons, breaking Kong Xuan's Divine Skill.

However, at that moment, a five-colored Divine Light rose behind Kong Xuan, swiping directly towards him.

"Be careful!"

Princess Long Ji couldn't help but cry out in alarm.

Liu Huan and Quyang Immortal's expressions also changed, fearing that this Ancient Water God would also be defeated by Kong Xuan.

"Think you can succeed!"
