Chapter 60: Fierce Battle for 3 Days and 3 Nights!

Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Fierce Battle for 3 Days and 3 Nights!

Wang Chongyang shook his head and sighed, "The concept of Ascension is merely fragments hidden in ancient texts. I only read a few secrets about the ’Innate’ and ’Ascension’ from Daoist Scriptures, and so I created the Innate Skill. Although I have cultivated diligently since then, even today, I still have a long way to go before reaching the true Innate Realm."

And an important term he mentioned:

Innate?!

Chen Sha raised an eyebrow. "Master, do you mean to say that martial artists can achieve Ascension upon stepping into the Innate Realm?"

Was the Immortal Realm mentioned by Chongyang Master the world of the Nine Heavens behind the Southern Heavenly Gate?

Assuming the "Innate" he spoke of was the same realm as the "First-Grade Great Innate" of the outside world, then why didn’t the First Grade experts in Chen Sha’s world achieve Ascension...

Was it because the rules of the World of Legend of the Condor Heroes were different from his own world?

Wang Chongyang let out a breath. Gazing down below Hua Mountain at the boundless, dim snowy plains at the edge of his vision, he couldn’t help but say, "I have scoured numerous Daoist Scriptures and can confirm that the concept of ’Innate Ascension’ is ninety percent true. However, the most important thing is how to cultivate to the Innate Realm."

After speaking, he looked at Chen Sha. "Originally, I was exploring this path alone. But today, seeing that you, Fellow Daoist Chen, have also stepped into this realm above Grandmaster, it truly means I am not alone on this Dao. Throughout history, past sages recorded in the Daoist Scriptures all searched on their own, while I am fortunate enough to meet a fellow Daoist in the same realm. If we can verify our martial arts with each other, it would be my great fortune!"

Chen Sha simply chuckled. "For me, the best way to verify is through exchanging blows and battling."

Wang Chongyang flicked his sleeves behind his back, his eyes shining brightly. "That is exactly what I wish for."

He had wanted to fight Chen Sha just a moment ago. He was incredibly curious about what kind of Martial Arts Chen Sha had cultivated to reach such a realm.

However, he was the initiator of this Hua Mountain Sword Discussion and one of the only two Grandmasters in the world. If he stepped in to gang up on Chen Sha with the others, it wouldn’t be the act of a gentleman, so he waited until the very end.

WHOOSH.

The cold wind howled back and forth at the top of Hua Mountain.

"You have fought fiercely for a long time, Fellow Daoist Chen. I am taking some advantage now," Wang Chongyang said as he let his hands hang naturally by his sides. He continued calmly, "Please, make the first move!"

"Alright!" Chen Sha did not decline at all. With a shout, all the muscles and bones throughout his body vibrated and hummed. He was like a red-hot boiler, hot steam seeping from his skin.

BOOM!

He stomped forcefully, shaking the rocky ground within a radius of several dozen feet with a thunderous tremor, as if trampled by elephants. The moment he attacked, his figure lunged like a Divine Dragon brandishing its claws. Thrusting out five fingers, he charged straight in front of Wang Chongyang.

WHOOSH.

Hong Qigong and the others only saw the battle erupt the moment the two finished speaking. As the young Daoist moved, he was so fast that he left behind afterimages. The group was horrified; with their Grandmaster Level eyesight, they actually couldn’t capture Chen Sha’s speed.

Was this the Grandmaster Level strength that far surpassed their realm?!

RIP.

In Wang Chongyang’s eyes, the air within a ten-foot radius was instantly torn apart like fabric. Then, what appeared just a foot in front of him were five crystal-clear, pristine fingers.

"Shattering Divine Claw!"

Wang Chongyang’s heart trembled. Wasn’t this the Martial Arts recorded in the Nine Yin Scripture? Although he hadn’t practiced the Martial Arts in the Nine Yin Scripture, as a Martial Arts Grandmaster, he had definitely read its contents. Therefore, he was completely certain that what Chen Sha was executing was exactly the "Shattering Divine Claw," also known as the "Nine Yin Divine Claw"!

The claw wind was already rushing at his face. Wang Chongyang had no time to think about anything else. Divine light blossomed in his eyes as he abruptly met Chen Sha’s five fingers with a palm strike!

BOOM.

With one collision, shattered stone fragments flew into the air, causing everything within dozens of feet to violently tremble!

In this clash with Wang Chongyang, Chen Sha only felt that the moment the opponent’s Palm Wind made contact with him, it rapidly transformed from soft and powerless into a sudden blizzard, carrying an incredibly terrifying, fierce power!

He had probed using the Nine Yin Divine Claw, a Martial Arts renowned for its Gold-Breaking Jade-Smashing power, but he hadn’t expected Wang Chongyang’s counterattack to be equally fierce and domineering.

Self-created Martial Arts—Frost-Breaking Palm!

This palm strike executed with Wang Chongyang’s full strength—if it were anyone other than Chen Sha receiving it, any Grandmaster would have been slapped to death in a single move!

However, both men were exceptionally strong figures. Thus, in this clash of palm and claw, they matched each other evenly!

After separating upon contact, Wang Chongyang’s arm moved like lightning as he took the initiative to step forward. With a flick, one palm turned into three before Chen Sha’s eyes. It then transformed again, becoming nine palms that struck out continuously!

One Qi Transforms into the Three Pristine Ones!

Although this Martial Arts was a Sword Technique, it was created by Wang Chongyang himself and could be executed with either a sword or a palm. Seeing that Chen Sha was bare-handed, he voluntarily refrained from using the longsword on his back.

For a moment, Chen Sha’s vision was entirely filled with Wang Chongyang’s striking palms. They flooded the sky, as if this Quanzhen Sect Master had transformed from a mortal into a Daoist God of Magic with three heads and six arms, sweeping away Demon Fiends!

SWISH SWISH SWISH!

Chen Sha was completely unable to judge which palm was the true strike.

RUMBLE.

He didn’t dare to hold back anymore. He formed the Dao Yi Seal with a smashing fist, propelling the Essence of Martial Arts from his entire body and evolving it between his palm and fingers into an incomparably terrifying and fierce punch!

Raising his arm high, he explosively punched through the air!

The two struck so simultaneously that it was impossible to tell who went first.

Hong Qigong, the other three Grandmasters, and the numerous experts on Hua Mountain Peak couldn’t even follow their movements. They only heard a deafening explosion like a bolt of lightning out of a clear blue sky, shaking Hua Mountain Peak!

BANG!!

Chen Sha’s punch blasted out, directly flattening all the air in front of him. No matter how many palms Wang Chongyang’s strike multiplied into, he simply crushed them all with a single punch!

The two clashed violently once again!

The wind and snow at the top of Hua Mountain abruptly spiraled up around them like a tornado, shaking and surging furiously in all directions! At the moment of impact, the two tall figures were simultaneously blown back several dozen feet by each other’s terrifying Qi Power, flying apart like shooting stars.

Chen Sha stumbled back, first surprised, then excited. "Ever since I stepped into the Cosmic Light Fragments, no one in the same realm has been able to take this strike head-on when I use the Dao Yi Seal. Today, I’ve finally met a worthy opponent!"

He let out a long, internal howl. His Daoist Robe fluttered wildly in the wind as his fighting spirit was thoroughly ignited.

"Then let’s see how many punches you can take, Chongyang Master!"

With a fierce stomp, his body lunged toward Wang Chongyang again like a giant earth-turning dragon. At the same time, he formed fist seals once more. It started as a Palm Seal, then turned into a Finger Seal, and then a Claw Seal...

He shifted through more than a dozen Fist Seals in succession before finally clenching them into a fair-skinned fist in front of him.

During this process, Hong Qigong, Huang Yaoshi, Ouyang Feng, and the others turned pale with shock. "The Mental Realm and True Qi within those Fist Seals are actually..."

They were actually identical to their own lifelong learnings, perfectly integrated into Chen Sha’s Martial Arts.

When Chen Sha executed the Dao Yi Seal the first time, he didn’t reveal too many different Fist Seal variations. This time, after adding layer upon layer of Martial Arts variations into the Fist Seal, the momentum of his punch was ten times fiercer!

"What a great Fist Technique!" Wang Chongyang praised highly, realizing he had finally met the first true rival of his life. Facing this punch, a powerful aura flashed in his eyes.

Innate Skill!

BANG!

The two collided with their full strength once more, fist meeting palm!

Chen Sha smashed his fist right in front of Wang Chongyang. He felt as though he wasn’t fighting a person, but rather the natural heaven and earth of Hua Mountain’s peak. With every breath, he could sense the vast, majestic aura emanating from Wang Chongyang.

"Innate Skill? So this is the Innate Skill?" The battle intent in Chen Sha’s eyes grew even more intense.

After their clash this time, the two did not separate.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

In the blink of an eye, there were more than a dozen clashes of fist and palm, as fast as lightning and as fierce as thunder crashing from the sky.

RUMBLE. RUMBLE RUMBLE.

Hua Mountain Peak was subjected to a continuous devastation of Power Dao like Celestial Thunder and Earth Fire. None of the rocks, the ground, or even the snowflakes drifting in the air in all directions could survive.

Amidst the terrifying momentum of the battle, Hong Qigong and the others were already dumbfounded. This didn’t look like two people fighting at all; it was exactly as if two divine statues from a temple had come alive. Such powerful physical stamina, such a terrifying reserve of True Qi, coupled with various Martial Arts executed to the pinnacle of perfection!

"Over a hundred moves have been exchanged, yet it seems neither has fallen into a disadvantage. They are completely evenly matched!"

"A person like this is already a monster, yet there are actually two of them in the world!" The crowd gasped collectively.

"If they keep fighting like this, I’m afraid they might not even determine a victor by tonight!"

However, they still miscalculated.

This battle lasted from the afternoon of the first day all the way to noon of the third day.

RUMBLE.

Both Wang Chongyang and Chen Sha began to emit a blood mist. This was the result of pushing their bodies past their limits, causing their Essence Qi to leak. They were fighting with their very lives!

Hong Qigong and the others had long been starving, their stomachs rumbling, but right now, they were even more terrified by the two fighting on top of Hua Mountain. They shouted loudly, "We can’t let them keep fighting! At this rate, they’ll end up killing each other!"

They immediately wanted to rush up and stop them.

SMASH!

But the moment Hong Qigong touched the hundred-foot radius of the battlefield, he was like a tiny fish swept into the eye of a storm in the middle of the ocean. The air from all directions slammed into him like heavy ocean waves, slapping him thirty feet away and causing him to cough up a large mouthful of blood.

The crowd was entirely horrified. This...

Even a Grandmaster couldn’t intervene!

Thus, they could only watch helplessly as the two exchanged fists and palms. Like tireless human-shaped great dragons in a horrifying clash, the blood mist covering their bodies evaporated as if it cost them nothing!

The battle continued deep into the night. Stars began to emerge over Hua Mountain Peak, gradually enveloping the area in a sea of stars. Looking up, there was only a boundless, dotted river of stars.

BANG!

In their final clash, the two blasted each other thirty feet away and stood still where they landed. Heaven and earth seemed to fall silent in that instant.

The crowd only saw that after Chen Sha and Wang Chongyang separated, both men stood blankly in place, as motionless as statues.

"Have they... determined a result?" Huang Yaoshi and the others were full of uncertainty and shock.

Just then, one of the two let out a long sigh. "I never imagined there would be a day when I fought until my strength was entirely exhausted. This battle was truly exhilarating."

It was Wang Chongyang.

Hearing this, the crowd turned pale with fright and hurried over to look. The auras of the two standing men were incredibly weak. They looked as if all the fat in their bodies had been boiled away, leaving nothing but empty sacks of skin.

"No, they..."

Hong Qigong walked up to Chen Sha and reached out to touch him in disbelief.

With that simple touch, Chen Sha’s body directly scattered on the spot.
