Chapter 767 The Ultimate Power of the Cave Heaven
The two faced each other, neither willing to back down, a pure clash of strength.

To outsiders, it appeared that Chen Guan was using the power of sword energy, while Xiu Jieming was using the power of his physical body.

In reality, Chen Guan's power wasn't purely sword energy; the Immovable King Technique also enhanced his physical strength. Only by combining these two powers could he contend with the second stage of Returning to One's True Nature.

The second stage of the top-secret state is significantly stronger than the first stage.

Chen Guan's spiritual power was so strong that it was comparable to a level 60 Mystic God material, and even stronger than some Mystic God treasures.

Combined with the power of the Pure Yang Sword Immortal, theoretically, its destructive force could destroy most level 60 Mystic Treasures.

A section of returning to one's true nature was able to contend with Chen Guan in this state, but was still inferior in strength. When it collided with the Pure Yang sword light, it also used some techniques to deflect the trajectory of the Pure Yang sword light.

At that time, Xiu Jieming was at a disadvantage, but in the second stage, his Return to Originality technique was able to withstand the pure Yang sword light head-on and shatter it. The improvement in physical strength was indeed very strong.

Currently, there aren't many people who can complete the second stage of the top-secret state. It's also possible that they have, but Chen Guan didn't see it, so the cheerleader's soul couldn't record it.

Judging from the second phase of top-secret status that Chen Guan has already recorded, each one is indeed very buggy.

After Qin Ziyu's Wuji Zhiji entered the second stage, it became almost impossible to defeat him with techniques, as his body could naturally make the most perfect response.

After Xiu Jieming entered the second stage of returning to his original nature, his physical strength reached an unimaginable level. In a head-on confrontation, it would indeed be difficult for someone of the same level to defeat him.

This was only because the person he fought was Chen Guan. If it were any other cultivator, even a top-tier level 60 cultivator, they would probably find it difficult to confront Xiu Jieming head-on, and even their secret treasures would be directly destroyed.

The two fought fiercely face to face, their fists clashing like a storm, the shockwaves and fragments of sword light generated by the explosive force destroying everything nearby.

The earth shattered and collapsed beneath their feet, as if there were huge voids beneath, and the earth continued to sink after it crumbled.

Centered on the place where the two were fighting, the area within a kilometer radius was rapidly collapsing and sinking deeper and deeper, soon forming a huge circular pit.

As the massive circular pit collapsed, the two bodies sank deeper and deeper until they were no longer visible.

The circular pit seemed to have become a deep abyss leading to hell. People outside could only sense bursts of power surging out from inside, but could not see how the two were fighting.

The destructive power of their battle had already made the expressions of the experts from the ten major families extremely serious.

With such a level of combat intensity, it would be difficult to find anyone within the cave who could rival them head-on.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they are invincible in their own right.

"These two are too strong. Among the younger generation of the ten great families, is there anyone who can stand up to them head-on?" Wang Lian asked in shock.

She had always wanted to compare herself to Chen Guan. After completing the "Afang Classic" and obtaining the title of Lord of Ten Thousand Soldiers, she felt that given time, she should be able to catch up with Chen Guan.

But today's battle left Wang Lian sweating profusely and deeply shaken. She realized that even though she had tried her best, the gap between her and Chen Guan was widening and widening, and they were no longer comparable.

Let alone her, even if the Lord of Ten Thousand Soldiers were at his peak, could he defeat Chen Guan in a head-on battle?
Wang Lian didn't know, but she had a vague feeling that it was probably impossible.

"They are indeed very strong. One has explosive energy, and the other has unparalleled physical strength." The purple-robed man exclaimed, "Within the cave, they are truly exceptionally strong, and it can be said that they are hard to find opponents."

Sensing the veiled meaning in the purple-robed man's tone, Wang Lian asked, "You seem to be holding back some of their strength?"

“It’s not that they’re holding back. If the Cave Heaven is the limit, then they are indeed so powerful that they’re practically lawless. But above the Cave Heaven, there are Greater Cave Heavens,” the purple-robed man said.

"With such a strong foundation, shouldn't you be even stronger after advancing to the Great Cave Heaven?" Wang Lian had some understanding of the Great Cave Heaven, and it was precisely because of this understanding that she knew the importance of a strong foundation.

"The foundation is certainly important, but the Seventh Sense relies on inspiration, a flash of inspiration. No one knows what kind of secret law they will have, and the secret law is the foundation of the entire Great Cave Heaven."

The man in purple robes explained, "Whether it's physical strength or spiritual energy, both are very useful in the Great Cave Heaven, allowing one to withstand many secret laws. However, due to the diversity of secret laws, this kind of strength is not absolutely invincible within the Great Cave Heaven."

"For example, the famous Great Cave Heaven Treasure, the Non-Killing Blade, possesses a secret power that makes its blade unable to even cut through the skin of living creatures. However, if it is used to cut materials such as metal and jade, no matter how strong the metal is, it will be easily cut by the Non-Killing Blade like cutting tofu."

"For example, there is a mysterious spirit in the Great Cave Heaven called the Steel Bell Beast. Its secret law can reverse hardness and softness. The harder something is, the softer it is to the Steel Bell Beast, and the softer something is, the harder it is to the Steel Bell Beast. If Xiu Jieming's body encounters the Steel Bell Beast and he does not understand the Steel Bell Beast, he is likely to suffer a great loss."

"These are just two examples. Within the Great Cave Heaven, there are many ways to restrain those with high physical strength. Whether they can remain invincible within the Great Cave Heaven depends on whether they can awaken powerful secret laws."

"If they can awaken secret laws like the Invulnerability of All Laws, combined with their current strength, that would be truly terrifying."

"Of course, the secret law that is unaffected by all laws is not so easy to awaken. However, their foundation is good, so the chance of them awakening a powerful secret law is also very high. They won't be too bad, but whether they can be as invincible as they are now depends on whether they have the fate to do so."

Wang Lian's hope was rekindled. If she could awaken a powerful secret law, she could overtake others within the Great Cave Heaven.

"Without entering the Great Cave Heaven, one can never be considered a true strongman," Gu Shan added.

Even so, the battle between Chen Guan and Xiu Jieming was still incredibly moving.

Inside the abyss-like cave, Chen Guan and Xiu Jieming continued their frantic battle, but neither of them could gain an overwhelming advantage.

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time. Today, I can finally fight you without any scruples," Xiu Jieming said telepathically, stepping back a little.

"So, you really want to settle things with me?" Chen Guan asked Xiu Jieming.

“Naturally, a victor must be decided. You can’t fool those people with lies.” A light seemed to flicker in Xiu Jieming’s eyes. “You don’t need to hold back. Just fight me with your strongest power.”

As he spoke, Xiu Jieming's body changed once again.
