People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 218 The Sun and Moon Shine in the Sky, Thunder Venerable Falls!
"Is he the Pavilion Master of Zixiao Pavilion?"

"I never expected this Pavilion Master to be so young. He looks to be only about twenty years old. A Dou Zun powerhouse at twenty years old, wow... that's terrifying!"

On the vast plaza, as the youth's face emerged from the distorted space, gasps of astonishment resounded.

The proud and arrogant disciples of Fenglei Pavilion were also dumbfounded.

Some of them were no younger than Chen Xiao and used to think they were geniuses in Zhongzhou, but now, seeing them, they felt their faces burning with shame.

After all, even that Miss Feng only has the strength of the peak Dou Huang level right now.

On the other hand, this Pavilion Master of Zixiao Pavilion is already able to challenge their Pavilion Master!

"A peak one-star Dou Zun, not bad strength. However, if that's all you've got, and you think you can establish your authority by stepping on my Feng Lei Pavilion, then you've picked the wrong target!"

On the high platform, Venerable Lei slowly rose, his gaze like lightning, fixed intently on Chen Xiao.

In his opinion, the so-called provocation by Hong Chen and the unreasonable behavior of Yang Lei and Fei Tian were just excuses. Chen Xiao's targeting of Fenglei Pavilion was simply to establish his authority in Zhongzhou.

For a power to establish itself in the Central Plains, it is essential to establish its authority first. Only in this way can it develop peacefully in the future.

That's how the Wind and Thunder Pavilion was back then.

The Wind Venerable, Sword Venerable, and others standing nearby exchanged glances but remained silent.

On the surface, Chen Xiao is at the peak of a one-star Dou Zun, while Lei Zun is at the peak of a three-star Dou Zun. The difference is significant, making it difficult for Chen Xiao to win.

The further one progresses in cultivation, the greater the difference in strength between each star level becomes.

The difference of one star between Dou Zun is no exaggeration to say that it is greater than the gap between a low-level Dou Zong and a high-level Dou Zong.

However, something unusual must be going on. Since Chen Xiao dared to openly climb Qifeng Mountain, it must be more than that.

Upon thinking of this, the three Venerable Ones all became curious.

High in the sky, Chen Xiao met Lei Zun Zhe's gaze.

He was actually only interested in Qifeng Mountain, and incidentally, he also wanted to solve the problem of cultivating the Three Thousand Thunder Movements and the Three Thousand Thunder Illusionary Body.

This was his original intention.

However, after listening to what Venerable Lei said, Chen Xiao thought about it carefully and found that it did make some sense, so he didn't bother to explain.

"Whether we're easy targets or not, we'll only know after we fight. Venerable Lei, there's no need for further nonsense. Let's settle this with our skills."

Seeing that Chen Xiao showed no sign of backing down, Lei Zunzhe's anger intensified.

Perhaps it's because he hasn't made a move in years that even a random young upstart would want to use Fenglei Pavilion to make a name for himself.

Since that's the case, he doesn't mind taking this opportunity to show the people of Zhongzhou the strength of Fenglei Pavilion!
"Very well! As you wish, today we will determine who is superior and who is inferior, and we will also decide who lives and who dies!"

With that, Thunder Venerable stepped into the sky. The lightning patterns on his silver robe seemed to come alive, and streaks of purple lightning shot out like snakes, weaving a lightning net around him and scorching all the snowflakes that drifted by into white mist.

Seeing this scene, Feng Xian on the high platform shook his head slightly.

“Lord Lei, you’ve decided to kill me. This is not a good thing.”

Huang Quan, sitting one seat away, held a different view, laughing and saying, "Feng Venerable, you are mistaken. This is how it should be. Even though Feng Lei Bei Ge was in the wrong this time, for those of us in this position, face is more important. This person didn't even try to communicate, directly issuing an ultimatum, clearly showing that he doesn't take Lei Venerable seriously. If Lei Venerable lets this go, how will he maintain his standing in Zhongzhou in the future? Therefore, he must fight back, and not only that, but he must kill him with absolute strength. Only in this way can Feng Lei Bei Ge's damaged reputation be restored, and it can even rise to a higher level!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Xian chuckled but did not refute it.

Everyone has a different way of doing things, and there's no need to force others to change their opinions.

"Let's see how it goes," the Sword Master interjected, ending their discussion.

Above the horizon.

Chen Xiao and Lei Zunzhe faced each other from a distance. Although they appeared to be standing still, their figures were actually growing taller and taller.

As far as Venerable Lei was concerned, this was the location of the Wind and Thunder Northern Pavilion, and he certainly didn't want Qifeng Mountain to be destroyed in the aftermath of the battle.

For Chen Xiao, this was a place he valued, and he didn't want to leave it in a mess.

The two figures rose higher, their auras constantly intertwining, revealing their Dou Zun-level auras without reservation, stirring up gusts of wind as sharp as knives, tearing through the clouds a thousand meters above the sky.

At a certain moment, the two of them stopped simultaneously, and the battle broke out instantly.

"Young man, provoking my Wind and Thunder Pavilion was the most foolish decision you've ever made!"

A cold smile appeared on Lei Zunzhe's face. Then, he lightly touched the ground with his toes and rushed towards Chen Xiao like a ghost. Vast battle qi spread out all over the sky.

Seeing the Thunder Venerable charging towards him, Chen Xiao did not flinch at all. His icy blue battle aura surged, bringing with it a torrent of cold air, and he resolutely met him head-on in close combat.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

A series of muffled crashes echoed across the sky, causing space to shatter inch by inch. Before it could recover, it was reduced to ruins by new crashes, leaving a celestial void in the sky that remained unhealed for a long time in everyone's sight.

In this state, they exchanged hundreds of blows, and neither of them showed a clear advantage.

Although they hadn't really gotten to the point yet and it was just a warm-up, the evenly matched situation still greatly surprised Venerable Feng and the others.

After all, Venerable Lei's realm is two stars higher!

Given such a huge disparity in strength, even the most primitive and brutal hand-to-hand combat should have established some advantage.

However, that did not happen.

"boom!"

Another clash of weapons, and the figures in the sky suddenly parted ways.

This time, Thunder Venerable did not launch another fierce attack. His face was gloomy and his expression was somewhat unpleasant.

"You do have some skill, but this farce ends here!"

The way Chen Xiao had fought earlier struck Lei Zunzhe as somewhat strange.

His fighting style was always fierce and domineering, but Chen Xiao could always neutralize his overwhelming punches and kicks with a strange method, making his attacks seem weak and powerless, losing all threat.

Moreover, Lei Zun Zhe could also sense that every time Chen Xiao countered his attacks, his casual palm strikes could unleash power far exceeding that of a one-star Dou Zun, as if he had converted Lei Zun's power into his own.

In fact, Venerable Lei was not mistaken.

This technique was the first combat skill that Chen Xiao mastered upon entering cultivation.

Swallow counterattacks!
After many years, he had already mastered the Swallow Counterattack perfectly. With this profound fighting technique, in close combat, not to mention that Lei Zun was only a three-star Dou Zun, even a six-star Dou Zun, Chen Xiao was not afraid at all.

The advanced Xuan-rank Swallow Counterattack, in this specific situation, coupled with Chen Xiao's Dou Zun strength, is like a divine skill!

"You said the same thing before." Chen Xiao smiled faintly, showing no sign of nervousness.

He hadn't encountered a formidable opponent in a very long time. This Thunder Venerable, a three-star Dou Zun peak, was two stars higher than him and possessed considerable strength, making him a good opponent for practice.

"Sharp teeth and sharp mouths!"

Lei Zun Zhe snorted angrily, finally getting serious.

Lightning surged around him, and he unleashed the Three Thousand Thunderbolts to their fullest extent in an instant, leaving afterimages in the sky.

"I can also perform the Three Thousand Thunderclaps."

A flash of lightning appeared beneath Chen Xiao's feet, instantly spreading throughout his body and manifesting as afterimages as he launched an attack on Thunder Venerable.

boom! boom! boom!
True body against true body, true body against false body, false body against true body. For a moment, the battle in the vast sky dazzled the crowd below, who wished they could all become Erlang Shen to see the battle clearly.

The entire void was filled with the afterimages of the two, with each other's afterimages constantly shattering and more afterimages appearing.

Although there were clearly two people, it gave the uncanny impression that two armies of clones were at war.

"Three Thousand, Thunder Illusion Body!"

Seeing that the Three Thousand Thunderbolts could not subdue Chen Xiao, Thunder Venerable decisively unleashed the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body.

In an instant, the Thunder Venerable's numerous afterimages vanished like bubbles, leaving only two incredibly solid clones.

Their aura was entirely at the level of a three-star Dou Zun!
It is obvious that, as the master of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, Thunder Venerable has already mastered the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body.

He alone is equivalent to three three-star Dou Zun!
If it weren't for the special attributes of the Wind Venerable, the Thunder Venerable would probably have become the strongest among the Four Directions Pavilion Masters with just his Three Thousand Thunder Illusionary Bodies.

With a thought, Lei Zunzhe summoned two clones, which, along with his main body, immediately formed a triangle that surrounded Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao watched this scene calmly, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

The description of these three thousand Thunder Illusionary Bodies as comparable to the Heavenly Rank is not an exaggeration at all; their advantage in combat is immense!
Unfortunately, he has only just condensed the seed of his clone, and is still some distance from the microscopic level, let alone achieving great success. He cannot apply it to actual combat for the time being.

"Now that's a bit more challenging."

Looking around at the three 'Thunder Venerables', Chen Xiao smiled slightly, and his fighting spirit suddenly surged.

In an instant, the temperature of this place dropped even further. Qifeng Mountain, a thousand meters below, was frozen solid. The crowd on the mountaintop plaza could feel their fighting spirit being frozen. They immediately circulated their fighting spirit and felt a little better.

Around Chen Xiao, the three 'Thunder Venerables' felt the effects even more acutely. The circulation of their battle qi sluggish under the terrifyingly low temperature. The Thunder Venerable struggled to circulate his battle qi, barely avoiding being frozen. Even so, his strength was suppressed by a full thirty percent!
"Your fighting spirit..."

Upon noticing the situation within his body, Venerable Lei's expression changed slightly.

He had seen the Ice Venerable of Ice River Valley make a move; the Ice Venerable's battle aura was incredibly domineering and could freeze the battle aura within others.

However, it only freezes those who are weak; it has little effect on those of similar strength.

At this moment, Chen Xiao's fighting spirit was able to affect even someone of his higher realm, preventing him from unleashing his full strength.

Clearly, his fighting spirit is even more bizarre!

Possessing such strange fighting spirit is tantamount to having an innate secret technique.

After all, suppressing others and improving oneself are essentially the same thing!
Moreover, the effects brought about by this kind of battle aura will not have any aftereffects!

"Don't rush, this is just the beginning."

Sensing Lei Zunzhe's condition, Chen Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

Since refining several strands of Purple Spirit Cold Qi, he has been able to form his own domain by circulating his battle qi.

While others would be affected by such situations, he seemed to thrive in his environment.

With one side gaining at the expense of the other, the difference is obvious.

"Hmph, you're not the only one who knows secret techniques. Today, I'll show you the secret techniques of my Wind and Thunder Pavilion!"

"Thor has descended!"

Lei Zun Zhe snorted angrily, then shouted loudly, and stomped his foot. Countless silver snakes surged out from under his feet, spreading for hundreds of feet in a short moment. Lei Zun Zhe, who was in the middle, looked like the Thunder God at this moment, with terrifying power, and even his body size increased by a circle.

The suppressed aura, aided by the secret technique, negated the effects of the extreme cold and instantly returned to its peak state.

However, his two Thunder Illusion Bodies could not be restored, and he could only exert 70% of his strength.

"Heavenly Thunder Technique!"

Not daring to give Chen Xiao any more time to use his skills, Thunder Venerable quickly formed hand seals. The hand seals changed rapidly, and faintly, the sounds of wind and thunder seemed to come from outside the extreme cold domain.

A moment later, Thunder Venerable suddenly pointed his fingers together and pointed them towards Chen Xiao's direction.

laugh!laugh!
A thunderous roar ripped through the sky, and countless enormous bolts of lightning descended from the heavens like giant pythons, eventually engulfing Chen Xiao in a massive, earth-shattering force that terrified onlookers.

At the same time, the two Thunder Illusion Bodies also moved, each unleashing dazzling lightning from their hands. A fierce wind howled, and surging battle qi tore through the space, rushing towards Chen Xiao with the force of a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down.

Finally feeling some pressure, Chen Xiao's expression turned serious.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen Xiao's hands moved with lightning speed, leaving a trail of afterimages. The fighting spirit within his body surged like a flood, flowing through the meridians of his arms.

The icy blue light grew increasingly intense, and after a moment, it condensed like lightning, finally transforming into a giant icy blue energy palm print. This palm print was covered with dark marks, and a terrifying spatial force emanated from it, causing the space around the palm print to burst open in an instant, turning into dark cracks.

"Annihilation Seal!"

As the palm print took shape, Chen Xiao suddenly raised his eyes and swept them towards the two lightning phantoms attacking him. Without the slightest hesitation, he swung his arm and the mysterious palm print covered with countless strange black patterns shot out!

As soon as the energy palm print was unleashed, the energy of this world suddenly surged, stirring up gusts of energy!

After unleashing the Annihilation Seal, Chen Xiao didn't glance at the two Thunder Illusion Bodies again.

The power of the Emperor Seal Technique is self-evident. Even without using multiple seals in combination, the Annihilation Seal is more than enough to deal with the two Thunder Illusion Bodies.

With a slight lift of his gaze, Chen Xiao turned his attention to the thunderbolts descending from the sky.

This is a fighting technique unleashed by the true form of Thunder Venerable, its power and attack even more domineering.

However, for Chen Xiao, dealing with it was not difficult.

It's even simpler.

"puff!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen Xiao extended his hand, and a cluster of cold white flames immediately blazed up.

"go with!"

With a soft shout, Chen Xiao raised his hand and waved.

In an instant, the cold white flames swelled in the wind, transforming into a sky full of flames that blotted out the sun!
The dense lightning strikes were like raindrops hitting a lake, creating only dense ripples and having no real effect.

"boom!"

On the other side, the two Thunder Illusion Bodies clashed with the Annihilation Seal. As expected, they were almost instantly swallowed up and torn into countless energy fragments.

"Exotic fire!"

"Bone Spirit Cold Flame!"

Exclamations of surprise rang out from Qifeng Mountain Square.

The Venerable Wind on the high platform suddenly stood up, his expression shifting rapidly.

In his mind, the Bone Spirit Cold Flame was almost synonymous with Yao Chen, and only Yao Chen possessed this strange flame.

At this moment, however, the Bone Spirit Cold Flame was in Chen Xiao's hands!
This made Venerable Feng uncontrollably think the worst, wondering if Chen Xiao had killed someone to steal the treasure from Yao Chen.
This thought made it impossible for Feng Xian to remain calm.

Fortunately, at the last moment, he remembered something Yao Chen had mentioned.

Yao Chen once said that Chen Xiao was very well-informed and possessed many secrets, including some strange flames!
Even the Yin-Yang Twin Flames that Yao Chen and Xiao Yan found on the shores of the East Sea were based on accurate information provided by Chen Xiao.

Thinking of this, Venerable Wind forced himself to calm down.

Perhaps this is another strange fire that Chen Xiao has found!

But no matter what, he has to get to the bottom of this afterward!
High in the sky, all of Lei Zunzhe's attacks were neutralized. Chen Xiao glanced at Lei Zunzhe's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, and couldn't help but chuckle.

“It is impolite not to reciprocate. I have a killer move that I have never had the chance to use. Venerable Lei, I will borrow you to test its power.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xiao waved his left hand, and the overwhelming, cold white flames immediately swept back, transforming into a huge fireball that floated in his palm under his mental control, resembling a pale sun.

The next moment, Chen Xiao extended his right hand again, and the extremely cold battle qi within his body surged forth. The vast ice-blue battle qi poured out like a raging river, all of which gathered and compressed into his palm. An aura of destruction immediately spread out, causing the surrounding space to be constantly annihilated and reorganized.

At this moment, viewed from afar on the ground, Chen Xiao held up a multicolored orb of light filled with destructive power in one hand, as if holding up the sun and moon.

Behind him was a space torn apart and shattered, a pitch-black and eerie void.

"This is..."

"The sun and moon share the same sky!"

A calm voice came from Chen Xiao's mouth, and then, under the horrified gazes of everyone, Chen Xiao suddenly slammed the extreme cold and extreme heat in his hands together!
Everyone assumed that this encounter of opposing energies would inevitably lead to an instant explosion.

However, it did not.

Under Chen Xiao's powerful soul force, the two destructive forces appeared to merge, but in reality, they remained distinct, transforming into a strangely colored Tai Chi ball that crashed towards Thunder Venerable.

One half of it is a cold white color, filled with unparalleled extreme heat, while the other half is a brilliant ice blue, carrying extreme cold power capable of freezing thousands of miles!
Everyone saw that wherever the two-colored light sphere passed, large swathes of space collapsed, like land that had been plowed, and all the energy of heaven and earth was swallowed up, turning everything into the purest nothingness!
Upon seeing this, Thunder Venerable's eyes widened in shock. He no longer cared about his Venerable image and, without the slightest hesitation, unleashed the Three Thousand Thunderbolts to escape.

He had a strong sense of crisis; if he took the blow head-on, he might very well die on the spot!
However, no matter how fast he was, he could never escape the destructive force that had him firmly locked in place.

"burst"

A soft sound came from the sky behind him, like a death knell ringing in Lei Zun Zhe's ears.

"Do not…"

"laugh!"

Lei Zun Zhe was shocked and cried out, but his desperate shouts were drowned out by the steam rising from the fusion of ice and fire.

A terrifying white wave swept across the sky and earth, obscuring everyone's vision; even the power of soul perception could not penetrate it.

After a long, long time, as the shockwave gradually subsided, many eyes immediately turned to the sky.

All that could be seen was a handsome young man in a white robe standing in the sky, his expression calm, with his clothes slightly disheveled.

In contrast, Venerable Lei, after scanning the area within hundreds of miles with his soul perception, still could not find him.

Even the slightest trace of his aura could no longer be sensed.

It's as if this person never existed!
"Lord Lei... has fallen?"

On the high platform, Venerable Huangquan murmured.

No one responded to him, and no one dared to believe this fact. All eyes were turned to the young man in the sky, with different expressions.

At this moment, all is silent!
