I'm not just human!

At this moment, some unknown "realm" descended.

Even though Xia Fa was still hundreds of meters away from his youthful 【Absolute Defense】, he was still enveloped in the "domain".

In an instant, he instinctively felt that his platinum skin began to become extremely fragile, like rusty iron. Not only that, his bones also immediately became loose, as if they had turned into foam. Even his metallic muscles immediately began to loosen, like wires about to fall apart.

boom!!!

Just then, two bursts of energy erupted from beneath [Absolute Defense]'s feet, and he pounced like a tiger.

Fortunately, Xia Fa was already on high alert. Upon seeing this, he swayed and a large amount of star silver steam burst out behind him. He circled around in the air and actually dodged the attack of his younger self's [Absolute Defense], instead circling behind him!

In any case, this was just a "time clone" of the elder brother, and had no connection with the elder brother himself. Xia Fa understood that he didn't need to hold back, so he directly raised the horse-slaying sword.

At this moment, both of their double-edged swords emitted an incomparably dazzling silver light, while at the same time, faint black lines that seemed capable of severing everything gathered on the blades.

Xia Fa didn't hesitate and slashed down directly!

"Ok?"

To his surprise, the younger version of [Absolute Defense] seemed not to have reacted, perhaps because the punch had missed its mark and he hadn't been able to retract his force in time.

In short, He was facing away from Him, and it seemed like He didn't even have time to turn around, let alone dodge those two blows.

Xia Fa knew that even with the strength of a god's body, even the [Absolute Defense] of his youth, it would be absolutely unable to withstand the strike of the [Ancient Treasure - Rhine Dawn Blade Armor]!

What's more, he also used the Silver Slash and the Calamity Slash in those two strikes!

Seeing that the first sword had already struck the back of the young [Absolute Defense], the second sword struck the same spot immediately afterward.

It's like two bullets, both aimed at the same spot, in order to completely break through the opponent's defense!

This is because Xia Fa took into account the fact that his body, formed from the muscles, bones, and skin of the Sun God King, possessed the [Absolute Defense], before unleashing such an attack!

But then—

Clang! Clang!

Two metallic clangs echoed throughout the vast boxing ring.

Xia Fa felt a numbness in his hands, and almost dropped both of his swords. He was thrown back several steps by the shock, and the muscles in his arms were cracked, from which mercury-like blood gushed out, dripping onto the ground and emitting silvery steam.

Those two blows just now... felt to him as if he had struck an unshakeable metal wall. Not only did they fail to cause any damage, but he also suffered the full force of the recoil!

He looked up intently, and his pupils contracted involuntarily.

All that could be seen was that the young [Absolute Defense] had only had its robes torn at the back, revealing a muscular back with only a faint white mark on it!

With the sharpness of the ancient treasure that can cut through anything, plus the enhancement of the Silver Slash and the Calamity Severing, it only left a faint white mark on His back.

At that moment, Xia Fa suddenly understood how desperate those Great Old Ones were. How could they possibly fight like this!

The only way to use [Eternal Defense] is probably to weaken the opponent's defense without any limit, and then increase [Absolute Defense]'s own defense without any limit!

This is simply unplayable!

Suddenly, an intense sense of crisis surged from behind. Without thinking, Xia Fa once again spewed out star silver steam from his waist and forcefully shifted to the left.

The instant he moved aside, a burst of chaotic lightning erupted behind him, and his youthful [Absolute Defense] strangely appeared within the chaotic lightning. His entire body was rapidly covered in silvery-white mercury, and at the same time, he unleashed a punch brimming with power.

boom!!!!!

The punch clearly only hit the air, but the air shattered like glass, immediately creating a terrifying shockwave and airwave. Xia Fa had already dodged, but he was still caught up in the shockwave and airwave, as if he had been hit by a powerful punch, and his body flew forward backwards.

boom--!

He crashed into the thick iron wall erected at the edge of the ring, and slid down as if all his strength had been drained.

"The lightning of chaos and destruction, the lion of turmoil and strife... and a certain primordial secret technique of the Silver Throne..."

As soon as these thoughts crossed Xia Fa's mind, he felt his vision go black, his throat taste bloody, his brain foggy, and his whole body swaying.

After entering the "domain" of his youthful "absolute defense," his defense was weakened to the extreme. Taking such a blow would leave him severely injured and unable to recover.

They didn't even have the strength to stand up.

"In the history of the extraordinary, the Fear Priest Fletcher certainly wouldn't have been defeated so quickly. After all, he knew his elder brother very well in his youth and would never have entered his domain..."

Xia Fa smiled bitterly to himself. He had thought he could defeat his older brother when he was young, but he never expected that he would be defeated even faster than the fear priest back then.

But there's really no way around it. The [Eternal Defense] is simply too unsolvable. Xia Fa even suspects that, apart from the five primordial-level eternal credentials, the [Eternal Defense] and the [Eternal Power] are probably the strongest.

Of course, based on this speculation, the [Eternal Attack] should also be able to be used in a similar way, infinitely weakening the enemy's attack and then infinitely strengthening one's own attack, which is estimated to be among the strongest under the five primordial-level eternal credentials.

However, if we can't win this battle, we probably won't be able to open the Primordial Eternal Sea and enter to choose [Eternal Attack]...

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Heavy footsteps sounded at that moment. Xia Fa looked up and saw that the young [Absolute Defense] was now completely covered in silver-white metal, his whole body like an impenetrable shield. His dark eyes beneath the mask were solemn as he walked towards him step by step.

Clearly, although this is not a life-or-death battle, He would probably have to knock Him unconscious to truly win this victory.

"no……"

"I……"

"We can't lose..."

Xia Fa gritted his teeth, sensing the burning sensation in his heart meridian. He had already used up a small portion of his strength in those two attacks, leaving more than half. There should still be a chance, though it was extremely slim.

"what?"

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he had discovered something extremely incredible.

Within his own heart meridian... at this moment, an incomparably powerful burning sensation surged forth, the amount of which instantly surpassed even his divine form, reaching a state similar to that of an outer god!

"Wait, the burning sensation in my heart meridian... seems to be unaffected by the suppression of my strength?"

Upon realizing this, Xia Fa took a deep breath and remained calm.

boom!

The next moment, his entire body was enveloped in transparent flames, and he floated up on his own, his injuries healing rapidly.

boom!!!

The transparent flames actually intensified dozens of times the moment he levitated, almost covering most of the boxing ring.

With a clang, Xia Fa fused the two horse-slaying swords together, his aura reaching its peak.

He gripped his broadsword tightly with both hands, gazing at the astonished, hesitant figure—the younger version of "Absolute Defense."

"Big brother, I'm sorry, but this is just a time-based clone of yours anyway..."

Chapter 468 Defeating the [Absolute Defense]: The Secret of the Five Primal-Level Eternal Certificates?

The iron-gray metal arena, resembling a giant gladiatorial arena, was filled with a chilling atmosphere and a faint smell of blood.

The millions of spectators around were stunned into complete silence.

They stared in disbelief at Xiafa, who had been on the verge of defeat but suddenly unleashed an incredible, mysterious power, as if they couldn't believe what they were seeing.

Almost immediately, in a very short time, the transparent, colorless flames that had covered most of the arena began to gather towards Xia Fa.

And in an instant, they were all gathered together.

Xia Fa landed slowly, holding the whistling saber upright in front of him.

Instead of launching a decisive attack immediately, he adopted a stance resembling a defensive counterattack.

In that instant, it was as if an invisible domain spread out from him, instantly encompassing the [Absolute Defense] not far away. This was different from the domain that [Absolute Defense] truly unfolded as [Eternal Defense]; it was more like some kind of forbidden zone.

The forbidden zone of the gods; those who trespass shall die!

Hesitantly, the younger version of "Absolute Defense" seemed to defy fate and took a step forward.

The instant He took that step, countless enormous shield-shaped scales appeared on His body, and the phantom of an ancient dragon-elephant rose up behind Him, swinging its trunk and roaring angrily at the sky.

A majestic phantom of a lion king followed closely behind, with a golden mane growing around its neck and even its silver claws transforming into lion claws that seemed to contain boundless destructive power.

An inexplicable will surged within [Absolute Defense], and in an instant, it seemed to have transformed into an awe-inspiring and inviolable war god. The intensity of its fighting spirit was so great that even the audience, who were far away, felt a stinging pain between their brows.

[Absolute Defense] He hadn't even used his full strength before; now, he is truly unleashing his full power at his peak!

Upon realizing this, the audience members were all inexplicably alarmed, and at the same time, an indescribable excitement rose in their chests.

Both sides unleashed power far exceeding their previous strength, displaying an ability to fight even a Celestial Venerable. This battle of the strongest Gods will likely be a thousand times, ten thousand times more exciting than before!

At this very moment, the "Absolute Defense" of his youth finally took that final step, and his aura had become incredibly powerful.

He was already within Xiafa's "domain" or attack range, so whether or not he took this step, it wouldn't make any difference.

He did this to test the waters, but at the same time, he was preparing to launch a decisive blow!

However, unexpectedly, Xia Fa still did not move. He simply held the saber upright in front of him, his aura condensed to its peak.

"Ok?"

Upon seeing this, the young [Absolute Defense]'s eyes flashed, and it was preparing to make a move.

It was at this moment that Xia Fa made a move.

Swish-!

An incredible speed erupted from him, leaving a series of afterimages on the metal arena. Within these afterimages, one could see him swinging a blade with unstoppable force.

It was an extremely freehand strike, severing not the "absolute defense" before him, but time itself, a bird's feather, or flowing dust.

By the time the audience realized what was happening, Xia Fa was already standing not far behind [Absolute Defense], holding the heavy, black horse-slaying sword in one hand.

Silvery, viscous blood dripped from the blade.

As for the "Absolute Defense" of his youth, he stood there blankly, with six golden sun wings on his back about to grow, but they seemed to be abruptly interrupted by some extremely powerful force.

Immediately afterwards, a bloody gash appeared vertically between His brows, and the blood quickly flowed downwards, piercing through His head and torso.

With a loud bang, the [Absolute Defense] of his youth collapsed to the ground.

The audience around the metal ring was completely stunned.

"You won?"

"how is this possible?"
