He had always stayed at the Golden Core Stage, continually amassing power, now nearing the very limit of the Golden Core Period.

He truly did not believe that at the Golden Core Stage someone could still stand against him!

No one could be like him, continually accumulating power at the Golden Core Stage!

All around, people were taken aback by what they heard.

"Is this really the life-and-death arena?"

"Isn't the Hundred Peaks Sect hosting a grand event; a direct life-and-death arena seems inappropriate?"

"But look, no one from the Hundred Peaks Sect is stopping it."

"The Firmament Sect and Hundred Peaks Sect don't have such deep a grudge, do they? Why are they having a life-and-death duel?"

As the crowd murmured in surprise, on the platform, ten peculiar Golden Cores appeared behind Kong Fanchao, immense mana surged from within him, weaving through the ten peculiarly conjoined Golden Cores, causing his aura to climb steadily.

Shen Lijiao sensed the aura emanating from Kong Fanchao, sneering inwardly, "Nearing the Golden Core Period limit? No wonder he's so arrogant, daring to accept this life-and-death duel."

But this is far from enough.

His own aura surged, the mana within the ten peculiar Golden Cores behind him grew even more tumultuous, an aura no weaker than Kong Fanchao's surged out boldly.

Below the platform, a wave of astonishment struck the crowd.

"Nearing the Golden Core limit, both are nearing the Golden Core Period limit."

"It's no longer the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, how can there still be people nearing the Golden Core Period limit?"

"Indeed, they couldn't have stayed in the Golden Core Stage all this time, could they?"

"No way, even though both are at the Golden Core Period limit, why does it feel like the aura of that disciple from the Hundred Peaks Sect is stronger!"

"Indeed, his aura continues to rise even now."

Upon the arena, Shen Lijiao and Kong Fanchao stood at opposite ends, their eyes meeting in the air, making the atmosphere on the stage heavy, powerful gusts emanating from them, rushing towards the ground.

Between them, evil qi mingled within the winds, colliding continuously with crisp sounds.

Kong Fanchao, sensing Shen Lijiao's aura, displayed a look of surprise – someone had actually reached the Golden Core Period limit just like him.

In his hand, the paper fan retracted, transforming into a pitch-black sharp sword.

Shen Lijiao, clad in white, wielded a sharp sword that materialized.

Flying Immortal Sword!

Once one of the Ten Great Divine Weapons of the Hundred Peaks Sect, the strongest weapon of Flying Immortal Peak.

Intense killing intent surged from him, soaring straight into the sky.

The next moment, a golden light erupted from the Flying Immortal Sword, shaking the surrounding void, sword qi filled with endless sharpness cut through the air, shattering the clouds above, charging towards Kong Fanchao with unstoppable force!

Kong Fanchao, with a stern face, met the assault with his sword unabashedly, the pitch-black blade grinding against the air, sparking brilliant flames.

As the two swords were about to collide, Shen Lijiao's longsword suddenly shuddered, a crane's cry echoed from it.

In that instant, his body soared upward, like an Immortal Crane taking flight.

Flying Immortal Peak!

The initial Peak Master founded it upon experiencing the flight of the Immortal Crane.

Kong Fanchao sneered, his longsword slanting upwards to stab at the rising Shen Lijiao.

Changing stances mid-air, challenging me in swordsmanship?

For how long have I been in the Golden Core Stage, how many years have I cultivated, moreover, without Cao Zhen, the Hundred Peaks Sect is just a sect, what sophisticated swordsmanship could they have?

Leaping mid-flight is practically courting death!

Seeing his sharp sword about to pierce Shen Lijiao, suddenly, Shen Lijiao's figure rose slightly again, his body flipped head over heels in the void, spinning rapidly to produce a series of phantasmal images.

Utilizing the force of the spin, his sharp sword cleaved fiercely downward.

Though only one person, for a fleeting moment, it seemed as if dozens of figures spun, furiously executing over ten consecutive strikes.

Ordinarily, swords are used for thrusts, but now, he struck repeatedly, cleaving as if with a longblade.

His entire aura surged violently once more, in just a blink, it vaguely touched the Golden Core Period limit.

With a single slash, it felt as if The Sky-Pillar from the heavens smashed down, wielding the power to sweep across the world.

Kong Fanchao, sensing the terrifying might of the slash, hurriedly placed his sword before him in defense.

The next moment, his opponent's sharp sword heavily struck his blade, an earth-shattering crash rang out, an irresistible force pressed in, causing him to stumble backward uncontrollably.

This power was too strong!

Kong Fanchao was utterly shocked; in all his Golden Core Stage battles, it was always he who overwhelmed others with strength, but now, for the first time, he was being overpowered by another's force.

Boundless power surged into him, shaking his blood and qi within, but before he could steady his aura, the second sword strike came crashing down, its terrifying might no weaker than the previous one hurtling directly at him.
