270: Chapter 141 Discussing the Dao Approaches_3 270: Chapter 141 Discussing the Dao Approaches_3 At the point of collision, visible waves of air spread outward like ripples in water, stirring the void into trembling incessantly.
Crowds around the arena watched from afar, each of them surging with excitement.
“Too terrifying, these are, the two strongest disciples of our Hundred Peaks Sect!”
“This is the future of our Hundred Peaks Sect.”
“With such powerful senior brothers and sisters, even if the Qiankun small epoch arrives, what is there to fear!”
On the platform, the clash of sword qi and blade light continued, but the two figures didn’t stop, instead rushing towards the center of the platform.
Li Ke lightly tapped the toe of her boot on the platform, soaring forward with each tap, moving rapidly like a dragonfly skimming over water.
Whereas Nie Jie took heavy, deliberate steps on the platform, like a primal beast of ancient times, with every step leaving a clear imprint behind, each one causing the arena to shake violently as if a giant elephant from ancient times was charging forward.
The long, inky-black blade in his hand slashed down with boundless might, filling the entire arena in an instant.
With one strike, such domineering and fierce power was unleashed that it felt as if even a towering mountain would be cleaved in half by this blow!
In Li Ke’s hands, the longsword’s light flickered unpredictably, casting a chilling gleam so intense it was startling under the sunlight.
With a thrust, her sword sliced through the void as if it had fallen from the ninth heaven above.
In the surrounding air, a series of afterimages from the passing sword’s edge appeared.
The next moment, spear and sharp sword collided, abruptly sparking a massive burst of flames.
Even under the broad daylight, the brilliance of the sparks rivaled the sun’s rays, dazzling and blinding.
The area where the two stood cracked open suddenly, revealing a clear crevice in the platform.
Both of them retreated from one another as a result.
Atop the mountains, onlookers gazed at the crack on the platform, each of them gasping in shock.
“This…
this arena is maintained by an array, yet just one exchange and it’s already cracked!”
“They haven’t even used their Divine Skills!”
“This is surely the pinnacle of strength among Golden Cores!”
“There’s no distinguishing who is superior; although Li Ke achieved Perfect Completion Golden Core later, she seems to be no weaker than Nie Jie!”
“It still comes down to their Divine Skills.”
As if having agreed beforehand, after each unleashed a blade stroke and a sword thrust, from behind them, ten Golden Cores suddenly burst forth, each pulsating with an array of phenomenal activity and overflowing with the surge of Divine Skills.
The surrounding people were all astonished.
“Golden Cores!”
“They’ve summoned all their Golden Cores at the same time!”
“Are they fighting desperately?”
“The battle has just begun, are they about to decide the victor right now?”
Nie Jie’s eyes were sharp as knives as he focused intently on Li Ke, his aura climbing higher and higher.
The next moment, from within the void, his ten Golden Cores burst into dazzling brilliance, from which streams of dragon and elephant illusions emerged.
From one of the Golden Cores, an illusion of a mountain appeared; at a glance, it seemed not just an illusion but a genuine, colossal mountain as if descending from the ninth heaven, tearing through the void…
From another of his Golden Cores, an illusion of a giant elephant emerged, its vastness seeming to fill the entire sky, eclipsing the sun…
From Li Ke’s ten Golden Cores, flames leapt out, some as if falling from beyond the void, resembling celestial fire judgment, others as if ascending from the depths of the Nine Netherworld, filled with a devouring presence…
The next moment, the Divine Skills released by both collided high in the sky.
Under the onslaught of boundless power, even the surrounding void seemed unable to bear the pressure, exploding violently, eliciting a series of booms akin to thunderbolts striking the earth.
The sky above quaked wildly, and fierce winds howled around the platform.
Even those who stood far away felt the mountain beneath them tremble fiercely.
With each collision of Divine Skills, bursts of extremely brilliant light erupted, so dazzling that the disciples winced in pain, some even suffering momentary blindness.
The thunderous noises that accompanied the collisions of Divine Skills were like the explosive shattering of the sun and moon above, causing the onlookers’ ears to ache, almost causing them to go deaf.
In the sky, Divine Skills continuously collided, with terrifying waves of power radiating outward, enveloping the entire arena.
The spectators could no longer distinguish which Divine Skills were unleashed by Li Ke and which by Nie Jie.
It was just the residual shockwaves of the colliding Divine Skills that shattered the array-maintained platform, revealing cracks of varying sizes.
Not to mention what was happening to the two in the center of the Divine Skills’ clash.
A cloud of dust billowed violently.
In the midst of the dust, two lights shone with an unusual and piercing brightness.
Li Ke and Nie Jie, each had layers of protective light around them.
Despite wearing all black—clothes, hair, and blade—Nie Jie was now enveloped in strands of golden light.
Giant golden dragons coiled around him, firmly guarding him at the center.
Beyond these golden dragon illusions was an even thicker layer of golden elephant illusions, coming together like a shield.
The raging Divine Skills struck his Protective Golden Light, and the golden elephant illusions shattered instantly.
Then, the Golden Dragon illusions broke apart, and the terrifying force rushed directly into his body.
