Battle Through the Heavens: He possesses extraordinary comprehension and is born a Battle Emperor!

Chapter 111 Sorry, you have absolutely no appeal.

"Your terms hold no appeal for us whatsoever," Xiao Chong replied coldly, a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes. He suddenly waved his hand, and a warm golden light emanated from his palm, meeting the approaching iron chains. The light seemed to possess a life of its own; the moment it touched the chains, the chill was slowly dispelled, and the luster on the chains began to dim.

Seeing this, Zi Yan was not to be outdone. She closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and chanted incantations. Purple light emanated from her body, forming a shield that enveloped the two of them, seemingly weakening most of the external attacks.

"It seems it's time to show my true power." Zi Yan opened her eyes, her gaze gleaming with unprecedented confidence.

Just then, an indescribable surge of power erupted from the black-robed man, causing the very space around him to tremble. He sneered, seemingly unconcerned by their petty tricks: "Foolish resistance will only make your end more tragic!"

However, Xiao Chong and Zi Yan exchanged a glance, conveying a unspoken trust and determination. They knew that facing such a formidable enemy, they had no choice but to fight with their backs against the wall.

"Then let's see who has the last laugh!" Before Xiao Chong finished speaking, he and Zi Yan transformed into two beams of light once again, launching an attack on the man in black robes. It was no longer a simple dodge, but a direct challenge.

The man in black robes seemed surprised, but soon, only indifference and killing intent remained in his eyes. The battle in the space intensified, with chains and light intertwining to create a breathtaking scene.

The black-robed old man's figure twisted in the void, like a demon crawling out of a dark abyss. His iron chains swept across with a power that could tear everything apart. Under his control, the spatial rifts expanded wildly, attempting to devour Xiao Chong and Zi Yan together.

"Be careful, that black energy can erode space!" Zi Yan warned, and with a flash of light in her hand, a crystal-clear shield appeared out of thin air, blocking the two of them.

The collision of light and darkness stirred up ripples. Although the shield was strong, it trembled under the eerie black aura and appeared to be in grave danger.

Xiao Chong frowned, his true energy surging within him. His long sword transformed into a bolt of lightning, each strike precise and accurate, as he tried to find a weakness in the black-robed elder's attack.

"We must find his physical body; these chains are just a decoy!"

"Hmph, looking for me? You're still too green!" The old man in black robes spoke coldly, his figure appearing and disappearing intermittently. The iron chains tumbled like living things, each swing carrying earth-shattering power, forcing Xiao Chong and Zi Yan to retreat repeatedly.

"Join forces!" Zi Yan shouted, her radiance intensifying. Her body seemed to merge with the surrounding space, transforming into a dazzling beam of light that shot straight towards the black-robed elder. Xiao Chong, meanwhile, leaped up, gathering all his power at the tip of his sword, and followed closely behind, forming a pincer attack.

Seeing this, the old man in black robes curled his lips into a mocking smile. "Well done!" With a shake of his hands, the iron chains seemed to come alive and split into dozens of strands, weaving a net of death, intending to completely engulf the two of them.

"Xiao Chong, use that move!" Zi Yan shouted in mid-air. At the same time, her light condensed into a huge mirror, reflecting part of the incoming iron chains back and colliding with the black-robed old man's attack, producing a loud boom.

Xiao Chong understood immediately, his true essence boiling to its peak. He drew upon the elemental power that was circulating around him with his longsword, and the sword gleamed with a dazzling silver light. That was his ultimate technique, "Dawn Slash," which he had cultivated for many years.

"Break!" With a roar, the sword sliced ​​through the air, leaving a slash like the first rays of dawn piercing the deepest darkness. This slash wasn't just aimed at the black-robed elder; it seemed to sever all constraints and despair.

Just as "Dawn Slash" was about to touch the black-robed elder, his figure vanished mysteriously, replaced by a chilling laugh: "Not bad, not bad, what an exciting battle... but far from enough."

Space distorted once more, and the old man in black robes appeared dozens of feet away, a playful smile on his lips. He seemed quite satisfied with the two men's performance, yet there was also a hint of undeniable contempt in his expression.

"The game is over, little guys." His tone was decisive and unquestionable, and the black aura around him intensified as he prepared to deliver the final, fatal blow.

"Is that so?" Xiao Chong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes showing no sign of retreat, but instead igniting an even more intense fighting spirit. Zi Yan also steadied herself, surrounded by light, standing firmly beside Xiao Chong.

"The real battle is about to begin!" The two said in unison, their indomitable spirit and conviction resonating throughout the room.

The old man in black robes was taken aback, then burst into wild laughter, seemingly intimidated by the two men's imposing aura, or perhaps even more eager for the battle to begin. "Fine! Let me see just how far you can go!"

"Essence of sand, give me power!" As Xiao Chong murmured, the seemingly ordinary crystal in his palm, which actually contained endless laws of sand, shone brightly, transformed into a stream of light, and merged into his body.

Instantly, the air around him seemed to freeze, and the elemental power of the desert responded to his call, forming thin but tough sand curtains that blocked the rampant black energy.

Upon seeing this, Zi Yan's eyes flashed with surprise. She formed a hand seal, and the surrounding light converged into a dazzling sun, illuminating the land that was about to be swallowed by darkness.

"Light purifies, darkness is banished!" With her soft shout, the sun suddenly shot out thousands of rays of light, complementing Xiao Chong's sand curtain and enveloping the black-robed old man in a space of interwoven light and shadow.

The old man in black robes looked solemn. He had not expected that these two young juniors would be able to find a way to suppress his black energy in such a short time.

"Hmph, interesting. But you think you can defeat me with just this? You're too naive!" With that, his body surged with black energy, transforming into a giant black eagle, flapping its wings as if to break through the barrier.

"Trying to escape? Not so easy!" Xiao Chong sneered. The sand beneath his feet surged, transforming into a massive sand beast that fought alongside Zi Yan's dragon of light. Together, they pounced on the black eagle, and the world was instantly engulfed in a storm of wind and clouds. The interplay of sand and light painted a magnificent yet intense picture.

"Young man, your will is admirable. But before this absolute power, everything will be reduced to nothing." The voice of the old man in black robes came from the black eagle, carrying an undeniable majesty.

"Is that so? Then let's see if willpower and perseverance can surpass the limits of strength!" Xiao Chong's eyes shone like the brightest star in the night sky, resolute and luminous. The essence of sand surged within him, not only resisting the black energy but also showing a faint tendency to launch a counterattack.
