Chapter 99

The name of the legendary war god, which has shaken the world according to rumors, is already familiar to me.

Especially the unparalleled power of the Warlord Immortal Body, acclaimed as unmatched in the world, today, Lin intends to personally experience it!

Lin Lin breathed slowly, articulating each word clearly.

In response, Gu Fang maintained his calm demeanor.

"The reputation of Master Lin has long been heard of by Gu. Today, to spar with Master Lin is indeed a fortunate event that Gu has long sought."

"Very well!"

Lin Lin nodded in acknowledgement. As soon as the words fell, a long sword appeared in an instant. It transformed into countless shadows of divine swords, swiftly slashing towards Gu Fang with majestic sword intent, radiating a cold gleam.

The divine sword was incomparably sharp, its sword qi as cold as frost. As it traversed the arena, it stirred a soul-shaking sword cry.

In an instant, it seemed as if Gu Fang's skin was pricked by invisible needles. Even before the sword qi reached him, the chilling intent made one's heart tremble in fear.

In the blink of an eye, the blood and qi within Gu Fang surged like the raging sea. The intense blood energy seemed to forge the heavens and earth like blazing suns. His fist strength surged out, accompanied by thunderous winds, and the sound of explosions deafened the ears.

"Bang!"

Two immense forces collided. In an instant, the countless divine swords exploded like fireworks, splashing sword qi all around, filling the entire arena.

Yet before Gu Fang could catch his breath, the long sword broke through the barrier of blood mist once again, directly attacking his vital neck.

Gu Fang's pupils shrank suddenly, his eyes widened in anger. With a light tap of his fingertip, the mountains and rivers shattered, the universe overturned, a force that shook heaven and earth directly struck the tip of the sword. The sword cried out mournfully, actually being shaken back.

At the same time, a faint white mark appeared at Gu Fang's fingertip, disappearing in an instant.

This scene caused a slight change in Lin Lin's eyes.

Body-refining cultivators consider the body as the foundation of cultivation, and blood refinement starts from the skin. The stronger the body cultivation, the more indestructible the physical protection. Breaking through this defense is no easy task.

Lin Lin had long planned for this.

The long sword returned upside down, standing steadily in front of him. His ten fingers continued to flicker, forming mysterious seals one after another. In an instant, dark clouds densely covered the sky above the arena, thunder rolling, and in an instant, they descended, shrouding the entire arena.

At this moment, in the spectator seats packed to capacity, countless eyes were focused on this pinnacle duel.

Whether it was Lin Lin, the Sect Master of Shangyang Sect, or Gu Fang, who was known as the War God.

Both were the top figures in the Qingyang Immortal Realm, attracting worldwide attention. The ferocity of the battle between the two was self-evident.

When thunder interwove and illuminated the heavens and earth in a flash, everyone couldn't help but be greatly shaken.

"This is the strength of top experts... truly astonishing!"

"It is said that Gu Fang has already reached the peak of the Fourth Stage, and it should have been a foregone conclusion that he would surpass Lin Lin. Who would have thought that the Sect Master of Shangyang Sect had hidden such depth, truly beyond expectations."

"So strong..."

Many spectators showed expressions of astonishment.

And in the seats of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, Zhang Ming watched the fierce battle on the arena with a focused gaze, a hint of brilliance flashing in his eyes.

"Gu Fang bears the Warlord Immortal Body, and has now reached the peak of the Fourth Stage. His strength is extraordinary, surpassing the realm of saints. For Lin Lin to contend with him to this extent, he must possess some rare physique."

"His cultivation is probably also at the peak of the Fourth Stage!"

Thinking up to this point, Zhang Ming harbored hidden fears.

As someone with the Body of War Saint, he deeply understood the power of special physiques. With Gu Fang's advancement to the peak of the Fourth Stage, Zhang Ming acknowledged that he would find it difficult to compete with him.

And Lin Lin demonstrating such strength undoubtedly indicated that he also possessed a special physique, hidden and never publicly acknowledged.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ming's fighting spirit surged, the blood of the War Saint within him was restless, wishing he could immediately leap onto the arena and throw himself into this historic battle.

On the arena, Gu Fang's blood and qi surged like the tide, his fist technique fierce like a violent storm sweeping through, he appeared as an invincible war god;

Lin Lin, on the other hand, controlled thunder and lightning, appearing as if an ancient immortal descended, manipulating flying swords with divine thoughts, aided by the power of heavenly thunder, launching a fierce offensive against Gu Fang.

"Heavenly Thunder Mastery!"

Ji Xuan's expression grew solemn, a hint of astonishment flashed in her eyes.

Heavenly Thunder Mastery is one of the renowned Fourth Stage superior techniques in the markets of the Heavenly Court.

As a cultivator, Ji Xuan had also once dedicatedly studied this technique through offerings.

However, compared to Lin Lin, Ji Xuan realized with astonishment.

The gap between her own mastery of Heavenly Thunder Mastery and his was not just slight.

At the beginning of her practice, she needed to thoroughly understand the principles, then step into the hall. If she could make further progress, she could be considered proficient;

Further on, with occasional fortunate discoveries and profound skill, she could reach the peak.

In summary,

If any technique could reach its peak, the power of its practitioner could almost rival that of the founder of the technique.

Ji Xuan had spent over thirty years meticulously studying the Heavenly Thunder Mastery, and until now, she had barely touched the realm of proficiency, far from the profound skill.

In contrast, Lin Lin wielded the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder as effortlessly as flipping his hand, forming seals with a natural and perfect manner. Within them, the profound charm of the Heavenly Thunder Dao appeared as if he were the reincarnation of an ancient Thunder God.

Clearly,

Lin Lin had already practiced the Heavenly Thunder Mastery to a profoundly advanced level. Judging by his power, he should already be ranked among the highest attainments.

Ji Xuan's emotions surged, sighing deeply, "The outcome of this battle is difficult to predict!"

Little did she expect that the Sect Master of Shangyang Sect, Lin Lin, had hidden such sharpness until now, revealing his full strength in the realm of immortal country contests.

Although Ji Xuan also harbored deep expectations for Gu Fang, the outcome of this battle was truly unpredictable.

...

Everyone held their breath, concentrating on the battle, and Lu Qingyang was also immersed in it.

Witnessing Lin Lin's control of thunder, Lu Qingyang couldn't help but nod:

"The Great Dao Immortal Body is renowned for its extraordinary insight. Today's sight truly lives up to its reputation. Among the many Fourth Stage superior techniques, the Heavenly Thunder Mastery can be considered a pinnacle in terms of difficulty."

"Ordinary cultivators would find it rare to comprehend its profound mysteries even after thirty years of study. For Lin Lin to reach such heights truly demonstrates the extraordinary nature of the Great Dao Immortal Body."

As the founder of the Heavenly Court, Lu Qingyang was familiar with all the techniques in the markets.

Therefore, he deeply understood the hardships of practicing the Heavenly Thunder Mastery.

However, relying on the innate talent bestowed by the Heavenly Dao Immortal Wood, coupled with his early Sixth Stage cultivation, Lu Qingyang had long pushed the Heavenly Thunder Mastery to its limits, and even the power he exerted far exceeded its original limits.

"Gu Fang bears the Warlord Immortal Body. His battle intent is fervent, growing stronger with each setback, which shares similarities with the War Saint Body."

"As long as the battle intent does not extinguish, the power of the Warlord Immortal Body can surge endlessly. For other immortal bodies to match him in combat prowess is exceedingly difficult."

"However, the Great Dao Immortal Body is peerless in its insight. Lin Lin wields the Heavenly Thunder Mastery. The outcome of this battle is truly difficult to speculate!"

Lu Qingyang pondered silently.

At this moment, the two were evenly matched. The decision of victory or defeat would depend on who could hold out longer or find the other's weakness.

Initially, Lu Qingyang had judged that Gu Fang had a slight advantage, but now he realized his underestimation of other immortal bodies.

Just as Lu Qingyang was lost in thought, the situation on the stage changed in an instant, stirring up waves once again.
