Facing this terrifying sword strike, Qin Han Chu first continuously swung his mid-grade divine artifacts to deplete its power.
After his attacks were all broken, he immediately channeled divine power to fortify the protective shield of the Five Elements Divine Banners.
Boom...
The terrifying sword aura directly struck the protective shield of the Five Elements Divine Banners, causing the shield to tremble violently!
Seeing how formidable Qin Han Chu's shield was, Tian Mu Shen Zun attacked again, intending to destroy Qin Han Chu's shield completely.
Just as Tian Mu Shen Zun was charging up his second strike, Qin Han Chu finally unleashed a secret technique.
Tian Mu Shen Zun had used his secret technique earlier than Qin Han Chu. Although Qin Han Chu only managed to delay him for five to six minutes, this time was enough to influence the final outcome of the battle.
As Qin Han Chu's strength increased, the protective shield of the Five Elements Divine Banners also became stronger.
The original shield was shaking violently, but as Qin Han Chu's strength grew, the shield stabilized.
Even though Tian Mu Shen Zun's second strike had already fallen, Qin Han Chu's protective shield remained incredibly sturdy.
With their strengths being relatively equal, it was difficult for Tian Mu Shen Zun to breach Qin Han Chu's defense.
One was relentlessly attacking, while the other was fully focused on defense.
At this moment, neither of them was employing any techniques; they were purely pitting their divine power against each other.
Tian Mu Shen Zun also knew he was at a disadvantage. Without a stroke of good luck, he was destined to lose.
Firstly, Qin Han Chu still had his Ancestral-grade divine skills yet to be unleashed.
Furthermore, he had managed to use his secret technique before Qin Han Chu.
Even if Qin Han Chu didn't use his Ancestral-grade divine skills, he might still be defeated by the advantage of the secret technique alone.
Tian Mu Shen Zun unleashed his strongest attack once more, and at this moment, Qin Han Chu activated the Burning Heaven Divine Flame Banner.
Now that Qin Han Chu had also used his secret technique, his Burning Heaven Divine Flame Banner could once again contend with Tian Mu Shen Zun's icy power.
With the assistance of the Burning Heaven Divine Flame Banner, the teleportation function of the Five Elements Divine Banners was restored.
Just as Tian Mu Shen Zun delivered this sword strike, Qin Han Chu, carrying the Five Elements Divine Banners, vanished from his spot.
Tian Mu Shen Zun's attack missed its mark!
Although Qin Han Chu's teleportation also consumed divine power, the consumption was very small compared to Tian Mu Shen Zun's attack.
"Damn it!" Tian Mu Shen Zun roared furiously, and he suddenly vanished from his position.
Qin Han Chu had not expected Tian Mu Shen Zun to possess a God-Emperor level divine skill.
Facing this move, Qin Han Chu did not evade. He stood his ground and relied on the protective shield of the Five Elements Divine Banners to withstand it!
Boom!
Tian Mu Shen Zun's attack slammed heavily onto the shield, and Qin Han Chu used the force of Tian Mu Shen Zun's attack to create distance.
Tian Mu Shen Zun vanished again, closing the gap in an instant.
This skill was very similar to Qin Han Chu's Void God Slash.
Although the power of this divine skill was also potent, it did not exhibit the same ferocity as his previous attacks because it was not compatible with the top-tier divine artifact in his hand.
As Tian Mu Shen Zun initiated his third pursuit, Qin Han Chu suddenly vanished from his position.
At this moment, he directly used the power of teleportation to move to the edge of the arena.
The distance between them immediately widened.
Qin Han Chu ceased engaging in head-on clashes with Tian Mu Shen Zun and began to dodge rapidly.
As long as he could wait for the power of Tian Mu Shen Zun's secret technique to wane, Qin Han Chu could counterattack with an absolute advantage.
"This Bai Li Han Su is indeed very strong, but even if he wins, he won't be a match for Gu Tian Yi."
"Gu Tian Yi doesn't seem much stronger than Bai Li Han Su!"
"Haven't you heard? Gu Tian Yi still has the Wind and Thunder Twin Wings he hasn't used!"
"Wind and Thunder Twin Wings? What are those?"
"I heard it before, that it's a top-tier divine artifact that has merged with its user."
"Gu Tian Yi has another top-tier divine artifact?"
"Two top-tier divine artifacts? Is he that strong?"
"Even with two top-tier divine artifacts, he might not gain an advantage."
"That's true. If he uses both top-tier divine artifacts simultaneously, his divine power consumption will double."
"However, no one knows the attack method of the Wind and Thunder Twin Wings, so that's an advantage!"
While the fierce battle raged on the arena, all the spectators were discussing.
Only a small number of people knew about Gu Tian Yi possessing the Wind and Thunder Twin Wings, but as more people discussed it, the news spread through the crowd.
Ah Xiang, standing amidst the crowd, also learned of this news.
On the arena, the battle between Qin Han Chu and Tian Mu Shen Zun had reached a critical juncture.
The secret technique power of Tian Mu Shen Zun was showing signs of waning.
At this moment, Tian Mu Shen Zun was extremely anxious; the good fortune he was waiting for had been long delayed.
Qin Han Chu's Heaven Splitting Divine Axe was a Treasure of Origin, and its profound power could naturally resist the intrusion of bad luck.
Just as Tian Mu Shen Zun began to despair, a peculiar power suddenly surged from within him!
Boom!
At this moment, a fluctuation emanated from Tian Mu Shen Zun's body.
He had actually advanced a minor realm at this very moment!
He was already in the late stage of God Venerable, and now he had reached the peak of God Venerable.
Even with the Ascension Creation Pill, he couldn't use it himself.
However, this Ascension Creation Pill could be exchanged for other cultivation resources.
"Breakthrough?"
"How is this possible? How can one break through a minor realm while under the effect of a secret technique?"
"This... this is unheard of!"
"He actually broke through a minor realm at this time?"
Everyone was stunned and dumbfounded by the unexpected change in Tian Mu Shen Zun.
Using a secret technique was already consuming one's own divine seal power. How could a breakthrough occur under such circumstances?
This defied all logic!
Even Tian Mu Shen Zun himself found it hard to believe. He hadn't expected his good fortune to arrive in such a manner.
Although it was only a minor realm advancement, this small progression allowed his divine power to be replenished.
With the reinforcement of this divine power, he could unleash a peak-level attack.
If this single strike succeeded, he would be able to turn the tide and win!
Qin Han Chu knew that Tian Mu Shen Zun possessed the blessing of Bai Ze, but he hadn't anticipated Tian Mu Shen Zun becoming stronger through a breakthrough.
"Your luck is truly heaven-defying. Did you perhaps receive Bai Ze's blessing!"
Qin Han Chu revealed Tian Mu Shen Zun's secret in front of everyone.
Tian Mu Shen Zun, surprised that Qin Han Chu had guessed correctly, roared, "Get out!"
Seeing Tian Mu Shen Zun unleash his strongest attack once more, Qin Han Chu no longer held back!
With the replenishment of divine power, Tian Mu Shen Zun's attack was incredibly powerful.
Qin Han Chu, on the other hand, utilized his Ancestral-grade divine skill, whose power was not inferior to Tian Mu Shen Zun's attack.
At the same time, those around them were already stunned by Qin Han Chu's words.
"Bai Li Han Su is absolutely right; his luck is too heaven-defying."
"Bai Ze's blessing! He actually received Bai Ze's blessing! No wonder he has so many fortunate encounters."
Bai Qiu Han, standing in the crowd, clenched his fists. "So it was Bai Ze's blessing. No wonder I suddenly felt inner demons!"
