Zhou Fan stretched his arms and legs unnecessarily while Tong and Ying Xiong solemnly waited.
Far far behind them, the two children were standing in a bubble. The bubble was strong enough to protect them even in front of a great attractor.
Zhou Fan, Ying Xiong, and Tong had moved to the opposite side of the galaxy in order to fight. Otherwise, the cosmic sect would have ended up being destroyed.
While Zhou Fan stretched and the children watched from inside the bubble with a built-in telescope, Ying Xiong solemnly whispered to Tong.
"Do not hold anything back. Immediately use your full strength." Ying Xiong said.
"Everything? Are you sure?" Tong asked.
Asking him to use everything signified how incredible the future battle would be.
"Yes. Absolutely everything. I will do the same." Ying Xiong said.
Tong nodded, and Zhou Fan finally spoke.
"To make this fairer, I'll limit myself to the first level of the inner world realm. I also won't use my divine physique. Instead, I'll just use my talent." Zhou Fan said.
In his last battle, it seemed that he had been evenly matched with Ying Xiong until he used his divine physique, but that was not true. He had not fully utilized the power of his talent, or Ying Xiong would have been defeated without the divine physique even appearing.
"I'll also limit myself to only 1 type of Qi." Zhou Fan said as a wheel appeared in front of him.
It had many colors on it, each one representing a different Qi.
Tong felt he was being looked down upon, but when he looked at Ying Xiong, he still saw the same expression of deathly seriousness.
This caused Tong to instantly abandon all thoughts of underestimation.
Zhou Fan spun the wheel, and watched as it landed on a dark black color.
"Death Qi it is." He said as he held his hand out and formed a black scythe.
The children watched on in amazement and excitement as the battle began. Tong instantly began to wave his hands and arms around, while Ying Xiong charged at Zhou Fan and used his full strength.
A giant phantom of a buddha appeared around his body as his shirt ripped apart and his back painting glowed.
"Fiftyfold Buddha phantom." He said as the buddha phantom covering him was layered 50 times.
He jumped up in the air and slammed a palm down at the unmoving Zhou Fan.
"Thousand fold cosmic buddha's palm." He said.
A familiar scene of layering buddhas palms repeated itself, but this time, there were stars surrounding and moving around the buddha's palm as it fell towards Zhou Fan.
As expected, the cosmic sect was not just a name, Ying Xiong had created techniques to go along with it.
As the giant palm fell towards him, Zhou Fan finally moved.
"Death God's slash." He said as he waved his scythe towards the falling palm.
A giant dark line that seemed to absorb the very space surrounding it shot towards the buddha's palm, slowly growing in size to match it.
When the two attacks collided, the Death God's slash began to absorb the Qi that made up the buddha's palm, before their brute force collided and canceled each other out.
Although it seemed that Zhou Fan had never bothered much with creating techniques, he had spent billions of years alive, and even if he only casually created techniques every now and then, it still piled up to him having an uncountable number.
Ying Xiong focused on improving the power of a few techniques, but Zhou Fan's talent extended to everything, so he practiced everything.
Ying Xiong only showed small amounts of surprise before he prepared another attack, but it was at that time that Tong finally made a move.
As he had waved his hands and arms, multiple desolate planets seemed to collapse and come towards him. Before long, he had a near endless amount of earth circling around him.
But that was not all. In his mind, there seemed to be two existences.
"It's been a while since I've come out. What's happening?" The new existence spoke.
"I wish we could talk, but we're in a serious spar. We need to go all out." Tong said.
"Good. What else would I wish for. Let's go!" The voice said as Tong's body seemed to burst out with a large pressure and his Qi doubled.
At that moment, Ying Xiong's attack ended and Tong moved forward.
The endless amount of earth surrounding him was infused with nearly all of Tong's doubled Qi and formed a large spear that moved towards Zhou Fan.
Zhou Fan was surprised by its power, but even Ying Xiong's attack was stopped, much less an attack from someone in the lesser dao creation realm.
Zhou Fan waved his hand, and the earth spear shooting towards him turned mushy and deathly, instantly losing its form and dripping down.
Even planets lived and died in some way, so earth could be easily affected by death Qi.
Tong could not even react before Zhou Fan appeared in front of him and reached out. Tong watched as the hand grew bigger in front of his eyes, until a yellow slash of buddhist Qi covered by moving stars stopped the hand from advancing.
Zhou Fan spun his body and shot a death gods slash at Ying Xiong, who hastily dodged and appeared behind Zhou Fan with a straight palm.
Zhou Fan ignored Tong and turned around to fight Ying Xiong, but Tong launched a sneak attack with the very little amount of his remaining Qi.
A needle of earth Qi appeared and shot towards Zhou Fan. It was weaker than most attacks, but Zhou Fan could not afford to ignore it unless he wanted to get pierced.
Still, Zhou Fan ignored Tong and a black mist surrounded his body that easily blocked the needle of earth Qi.
Ying Xiong's stretched out palm launched a tiny buddha's palm with stars moving around it, but Zhou Fan met the mini palm with his actual hand covered in Death Qi.
