The appearance of the two monarchs brought the atmosphere on Heaven-Rending Peak to its absolute zenith. Countless people looked up at the sky, their faces filled with fanaticism and awe. Of course, most were eagerly anticipating the clash between the two great emperors.
Arthur Yang looked at Dominic Su. Dominic was also gazing at Arthur. Between the two monarchs, there were no superfluous words.
Arthur Yang raised his hand. A pitch-black spear materialized in his grasp.
"Hmm?" Dominic's eyes narrowed as he looked at the spear. He could sense an incredibly ancient and powerful aura emanating from it. It was undoubtedly an Ancient Weapon; otherwise, such an aura would never manifest.
"Dominic Su, do you recognize this object?" Arthur Yang flourished the pitch-black spear as if showing off.
"An Ancient Weapon," Dominic said indifferently.
"Correct! This is indeed an Ancient Weapon," Arthur Yang smiled smugly. "Today, you, Dominic Su, shall fall beneath this spear."
Dominic laughed. "Wait until you actually defeat me before uttering such words."
"Hmph! Let us battle!" Arthur Yang could no longer restrain himself.
With a roar to battle, the two monarchs struck almost simultaneously.
BOOM!!!
Accompanied by a thunderous explosion, their fists collided, an awe-inspiring force that seemed to shake heaven and earth. The terrifying power instantly poured out in all directions as if the firmament itself were about to be shattered.
The crowd on Heaven-Rending Peak was utterly shocked. Is this the clash between the top powerhouses of two great empires?
It is truly terrifying to such an extent! One couldn't help but gasp in shock.
"What a horrifying contest!"
"I feel like I'll be torn apart just by the shockwaves!"
"I wonder if I'll ever reach the realm of these two monarchs in my lifetime..."
...
Countless people marveled repeatedly.
Watching the clash in the sky, Quinn Ye felt his blood boiling with excitement. This was his first time truly witnessing a battle between genuine powerhouses. He had never seen it with his own eyes before.
Only now did Quinn truly realize just how "cheating" the powerhouses of this world were. It was like a dream.
While excited, Quinn felt a pang of envy in his heart. That damn shitty System had slinked away before even teaching him how to cultivate, leaving him with zero cultivation. He didn't look like a transmigrator at all. It was embarrassing for his fellow transmigrators.
Look at other transmigrators—every one of them was "unbeatable," conquering the world single-handedly. Then look at him: standing on the ground, staring wide-eyed at others having all the fun.
Sigh. We're both transmigrators; why is the gap so huge?
While Quinn was lamenting, the two monarchs had already exchanged several blows. They struck repeatedly, resulting in both sides being forced back at the same time. Both Arthur Yang and Dominic Su grew solemn.
"Again!" Arthur Yang roared, abruptly swinging the pitch-black spear. He hadn't used it earlier because he wanted to probe Dominic's strength. Now it seemed that without this spear, it would be difficult to defeat him.
Arthur Yang stopped holding back and unleashed the spear's true power.
BOOM!!!
As the spear swung, black light filled the sky. For a moment, the heavens seemed to transform into an ancient battlefield from eons ago. Murderous intent soared! A desolate roar echoed from the void, making one's heart feel heavy.
Suddenly, the black light in the sky condensed into a massive spear.
"Suppress!" Arthur Yang swung his weapon, and the giant black spear crashed down toward Dominic Su.
Faced with such an offensive, Dominic didn't dare be careless. He raised both hands simultaneously. Two phantom images of Flood Dragons appeared in his palms, spiraling continuously.
"Go!" Dominic struck out with both palms. The two dragon phantoms intertwined, abruptly expanding in size, and violently collided with the black spear.
RUMBLE!!!
Heaven and earth shook. The terrifying airwaves even threatened to affect Heaven-Rending Peak below. Fortunately, experts like Lance Xu were presiding over the mountain and immediately moved to neutralize the force, ensuring the crowd wasn't hit.
When everyone looked up again, Dominic was no longer in his original position, having been blasted back over a hundred feet. Arthur Yang, however, stood unmoved, a smug smile on his face.
"Dominic Su, how does the taste of my spear suit you?" Arthur Yang sneered.
Dominic's face was slightly pale, but that was all. He was secretly surprised; the power of that pitch-black spear was indeed extraordinary. He had used almost all his strength just to block that strike.
It truly is a formidable weapon! Dominic thought.
The next moment, Dominic took the initiative to strike. There were no flourishes—it was a very simple punch. But this single punch made Arthur Yang feel as if he were facing a mortal enemy.
Dragon Emperor Fist!
This was a technique created by the Su Clan after years of observing the Violet Cloud Flood Dragon. When it reached Dominic's hands, it had been further refined. Because Dominic had attained an Epiphany on Cloud-Drifting Mountain, the power of the Dragon Emperor Fist was even greater than before. It was Dominic's trump card.
The moment this punch was thrown, it was as if a Dragon Emperor had descended in person, suppressing the heavens! Even someone as strong as Arthur Yang felt an intense wariness in his heart.
Swinging his spear, Arthur poured all his spiritual energy into it. The spear vibrated violently and then flew out on its own, heading straight for Dominic.
The Dragon Emperor Fist arrived. Dominic's punch slammed directly onto the black spear. There was a moment of absolute silence, followed by an explosion like a volcanic eruption.
Dominic's body was sent flying back, barely able to stabilize himself. The black spear also flew back toward Arthur Yang. Arthur hurriedly reached out to catch it, but he was unexpectedly dragged backward by the force of his own weapon.
The webbing between his thumb and forefinger was shaken open and bleeding. Once Arthur managed to stabilize himself, his face was full of horror. He discovered that the glow of his spear had actually dimmed.
I didn't expect Dominic Su to be this powerful! Arthur thought with a chill. He had originally believed that with the Ancient Weapon, he could easily win. But now it seemed he had oversimplified things.
Without the spear, Arthur was no match for Dominic in terms of raw power. In fact, Dominic's cultivation was superior. Having gained much from Cloud-Drifting Mountain, Dominic was at the Peak Heaven-Reaching Realm, nearly a Half-step to the Spirit Refining Realm. Arthur was only at the Late Heaven-Reaching stage.
Only with the spear could Arthur fight Dominic to a draw.
"Arthur Yang, I recently comprehended a new move and haven't found anyone to use it on," Dominic suddenly laughed. "Today, I shall test this move on you."
Before his voice faded, Dominic's figure blurred. Suddenly, the sky was filled with countless images of Dominic Su. Every single figure appeared to be in a state of drunkenness, striking various boxing poses.
This was a technique Dominic had created himself after witnessing the Drunken Fist on Cloud-Drifting Mountain.
Myriad Images Drunken Fist!
"What kind of technique is this?" Arthur Yang was pale with shock.
Below, Lance Xu was also stunned. He actually managed to comprehend the Drunken Fist to such a level?
As he spoke, Lance glanced at Quinn Ye beside him. He saw Quinn watching with great interest, seemingly unaware of the monumental impact of what he was witnessing.
