Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

In front of the ancient sacred mountain.

The two figures faced each other across the distance, the atmosphere so heavy it was suffocating.

Outside, countless people held their breath.

"It's starting! It's starting!"

"The battle between the Celestial Phoenix and the Golden Crow may not be the strongest battle, but it is definitely a very special one!"

"Donghuang, a legend from the ancient times! Can Di Chen handle it?"

"Nonsense, Di Chen is the successor of the Heavenly Emperor. If Qin Ming can win, he certainly can too!"

"It's different. The opponent is different. Donghuang is the first emperor of the ancient times!"

"Don't worry, since the Heavenly Emperor is conducting a test, he couldn't possibly have overlooked this point. So this is definitely not the Eastern Emperor at his peak. It should be similar to Di Chen's current situation."

That makes sense.

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, but their eyes were glued to the light screen, not daring to blink for a moment.

……

In front of the ancient sacred mountain.

Di Chen took a deep breath, and his body began to glow.

That was the light of the Celestial Phoenix; seven-colored flames surged from its body, illuminating the entire void.

Wherever the flames passed, the Great Dao wailed, and the void itself melted.

The flames were so pure and powerful that even the Eastern Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The Celestial Phoenix True Fire is pure and flawless," the Eastern Emperor said slowly. "As expected of the Phoenix Clan from the Celestial Realm, their bloodline power is unparalleled."

"You flatter me, senior. Please!"

Donghuang didn't speak, he just raised his hand.

when!

A single bell tolled, shaking the ages.

A large golden bell appeared above his head.

The bell was entirely golden, engraved with sun god patterns, each line glowing as if it carried a sun.

As the bell rang, the entire ancient sacred mountain trembled, and countless rocks tumbled down.

"This bell is called the Eastern Emperor Bell, the weapon I have forged my entire life," the Eastern Emperor said calmly. "To be defeated by this bell would be your honor."

Di Chen's gaze fell on the bell, and the corners of his mouth slightly turned up.

"Defeat? Senior, you're speaking too soon."

He raised his hand, and a five-colored celestial blade appeared in his palm.

The blade was shimmering with five-colored divine light, and the faint image of a phoenix soaring on its surface was visible.

Wherever the blade pointed, the void silently split open, and chaotic energy surged out from the cracks.

Why do all beings in the Origin Realm say that Di Chen is like the Heavenly Emperor? It's not only because Di Chen's personality and way of doing things are similar, but also because his weapons are similar.

They all use a sword as their natal weapon.

"This blade is called the Undying Heavenly Blade." Di Chen gripped the blade, his aura surging. "Today I will defeat my senior and begin my path to enlightenment!"

Immortality perfectly aligns with the Phoenix Clan's ability to be reborn from the ashes.

The moment the words left their mouths, the two of them moved simultaneously.

With a single palm strike, the Eastern Emperor Bell resounded, and golden sound waves transformed into a colossal wave that crashed down upon Emperor Chen.

Wherever the sound waves passed, stars shattered and the void collapsed.

Instead of retreating, Di Chen advanced, raising his Heavenly Blade.

With a single slash!

The five-colored sword light cleaved through eternity, splitting the towering wave in two and causing it to dissipate.

"Hmm?" A hint of surprise flashed in Donghuang's eyes. "Impressive swordsmanship."

Di Chen did not stop. In a flash, he appeared in front of Donghuang and swept his Heavenly Blade towards Donghuang's neck.

Donghuang raised his hand, and Donghuang Zhong stood in front of him.

when!

The sword and bell clashed, exploding into a shower of golden light.

The two of them stepped back at the same time.

"Not bad, not bad."

A hint of admiration flashed in Donghuang's eyes.

"Again!"

He took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of Di Chen, striking down with his palm.

This palm strike pierced through the void; wherever the golden palm print passed, the Great Dao collapsed and chaos burned.

That was the Sun God Palm of the Golden Crow Clan, extremely powerful and yang, indestructible.

Emperor Chen did not back down.

He also unleashed a slash.

Knife and palm collided.

boom!

The void between the two exploded, the laws of the Great Dao intertwined, and chaotic energy surged.

The devastating aftershocks swept in all directions, shaking the ancient sacred mountain and causing large sections of the mountain to collapse.

The two parted ways again.

Donghuang looked down at his palm; there was a knife mark on his palm, from which golden blood seeped out.

A trickle of multicolored blood spilled from the corner of Di Chen's mouth, but a flash of five-colored divine light caused his injury to heal rapidly.

A hint of a smile flashed in Donghuang's eyes.

"The Celestial Phoenix's recovery ability is truly astonishing, continue!"

He took a step and instantly appeared in front of Di Chen.

There are no fancy supernatural powers, only the purest and most direct fists.

A punch was thrown!

This punch pierced through the void; wherever the golden fist imprint passed, the Great Dao collapsed and chaos burned.

That was the Sun God Fist of the Golden Crow Clan, extremely powerful and yang, indestructible.

Di Chen's eyes lit up.

This is what he's been waiting for.

"Well done!"

He sheathed his Heavenly Blade and met the attack with a punch of his own.

Five-colored divine light condensed on his fist; it was the Heavenly Phoenix Fist of the Immortal Phoenix Clan, domineering and incomparably powerful.

boom!

The two fists collided.

It exploded, filling the sky with golden light and five-colored divine light.

The void beneath their feet completely collapsed, turning into chaos.

The two looked up at the same time, exchanged a glance, and both saw the fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

"Well done!" Donghuang roared, "Again!"

He charged again, this time with a relentless offensive.

Fist, palm, elbow, knee, leg!

Each strike contains boundless divine power; each strike is enough to shatter stars and pierce through the universe.

Emperor Chen did not back down.

He responded in the same way.

Fist to fist, palm to palm, elbow to elbow, knee to knee, leg to leg.

The two were like two ferocious humanoid beasts from ancient times, exchanging blows wildly in the ancient sacred mountain.

boom!

Donghuang punched Dichen in the chest, and Dichen spat out colorful blood, but he retaliated by punching Donghuang in the face.

The blow sent Donghuang's head tilting to the side, and golden blood splattered everywhere.

boom!

Di Chen struck Dong Huang in the ribs with his elbow, and the sound of bones breaking was clearly audible.

Donghuang grunted and swept his leg across, sending Di Chen flying.

Emperor Chen crashed through more than a dozen massive mountains before regaining his footing and panting heavily.

But he didn't stop. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and rushed forward again.

"kill!"

The two clashed again.

This time it was even more intense and more frantic.

Both men's fists were covered in each other's blood, and their bodies were covered in wounds, with blood splattering everywhere!

They had both severely injured each other, but neither cared. They both recovered quickly and continued their battle.

Both are top-tier immortal beings with astonishing recovery and vitality.

Donghuang was blasted away once again, his golden crow blood splattering everywhere, but he wasn't angry; instead, he was laughing.

"Good! Good! Good!"

He said "good" three times in a row, and then punched Di Chen in the chest.

A bloody hole exploded in Di Chen's chest, but he didn't even flinch. He swung his fist back and punched Dong Huang.

Both were covered in blood and swaying precariously, but neither of them stopped.

The two were like tireless madmen, completely disregarding their injuries and exchanging blows wildly.

Outsiders were stunned.

"This is terrifying..."

"Aren't these two noble immortals? Aren't they top-tier geniuses? Why are they fighting so barbarically? Anyone who didn't know better would think it was two powerful barbarian warriors battling it out!"

"What do you know? This is real fighting, every punch landing with flesh, blood splattering like stars!"

"That's right, this way it looks better and you can see it clearly. They're really two ruthless people."

Everyone stared intently at the light screen, not daring to blink.

At this moment, one of them suddenly asked in confusion:

"But why is Donghuang so friendly to Dichen? Isn't Donghuang supposed to be an extremely arrogant emperor? I've heard he doesn't even put many Heavenly Venerables and Primordial Emperors in his eyes, so why is he treating Dichen like this? It's completely different from the legends!"
