Chapter 302: Chapter 178: The Number One Person of Purple Mansion! Chapter 302: Chapter 178: The Number One Person of Purple Mansion! “Decades ago, our brief encounter ended without a victor, which was truly regrettable.”

“Today, let’s settle it once and for all, and let me see what makes you so confident to have deliberately provoked this battle.”

Lu Li stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his expression serene.

A gentle breeze lifted strands of his hair, giving him an exceedingly carefree appearance.

“Among the cultivators of the Outer Sea, only you, Lu Li, are worthy of being my opponent. In my pursuit to catch up to you, I have labored tirelessly for decades. Today, my divine skills have finally matured. I hope you will appreciate them. As for the other so-called ‘true experts’, they are but chickens and dogs. It’s an insult to our stature to be ranked among them.”

Mu Chen smiled lightly, his handsome face coupled with his domineering tone creating a striking contrast.

Below the platform, a group of cultivators from the Purple Mansion, upon hearing these words, all had their faces tighten.

They clenched their teeth in anger but dared not retort at all.

After all, they couldn’t even withstand a single move from Mu Chen, so the gap in strength was too great.

“The battle begins.”

Just then, with a command from Liu Luoxin, the battle officially commenced.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

The momentum of both fighters exploded instantaneously, each crushing towards each other.

Their immensely powerful auras stirred up fierce Gang Winds, causing their robes to flutter violently.

Countless cultivators below felt a tightness in their chests as if a giant mountain weighed upon their hearts.

A group of Purple Mansion cultivators looked on with faces filled with shock.

This level of momentum was extremely close to that of a Golden Core Venerable.

Who would have thought that both the righteous and the demonic paths of the Outer Sea would produce such prodigies, capable of competing with the top ten of the Inner Sea’s real experts?

Even nearby Golden Core Venerables wore faces of surprise.

Many Golden Core Venerables had believed it exaggerated that these two could escape from the hands of other Golden Core cultivators.

Seeing them in action today, their reputations were indeed well deserved.

Many women from the Flowers Sect gazed at Lu Li, their eyes bright with admiration and their faces filled with pride.

They believed that their Junior Master Lu would surely win this battle.

As thoughts varied among the crowd,
sudden changes occurred in the arena.

Lu Li channeled his divine power to its peak with full force.

The intense force of his aura shot up into the skies, scattering the clouds above.

He amplified every bit of his momentum, brutally suppressing it downwards with a powerful will.

He was determined to gain the upper hand in this clash.

Mu Chen showed no weakness either, similarly elevating his momentum to the max and fiercely pressing down towards Lu Li.

Neither hurried to physical blows–both wanted to suppress the other first.

“Sssss…”

Endless fierce winds swept all around, while the surrounding mist churned wildly, the air filled with piercing screeches, excruciating to the ears.

Countless cultivators below circulated their spells to fend off the Gang Winds, their eyes filled with terror.

As time slowly passed and both sides reached their limits, it ended in a draw, with neither gaining an advantage.

At that moment, Lu Li made a move.

Seeing the strength of the opponent and unable to suppress him with momentum, he fiercely initiated his attack.

His first strike was startlingly ferocious.

He transformed instantaneously into a huge figure over thirty feet tall, exuding an ancient and wild aura, incredibly formidable.

Then with a thought, a Divine Axe appeared in his hand, swiftly expanding to over three feet long, its blade gleaming coldly, emitting a deadly aura all around.

“Kill!”

He lifted the Divine Weapon, his divine skill flashing by, and closing in on Mu Chen like a falling galaxy, he brutally slashed at his opponent.

As Lu Li made his move, Mu Chen also erupted instantly.

Mu Chen also transformed, becoming a tall Dharma Body about thirty feet high, surrounded by dazzling, multicolored lights, spectacular yet possessing a terrifying power.

“Whoosh…”

Simultaneously, a large iron hammer Magic Treasure appeared in his hand, its treasures light flickering uncertainly in the void, exuding a formidable presence.

“Kill!”

He maneuvered the Dharma Body, lifting the huge hammer and harshly smashing it toward the approaching Divine Axe, with extreme force.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

The huge collision resonated through the skies, the fierce Gang Winds sweeping fiercely in all directions, uprooting countless plants, and crisscrossing the ground in disarray.

After one strike, both sides retreated several meters, surprisingly ending in a stalemate.

With an astonished face, Lu Li knew this strike was just a probe and he hadn’t used his full strength. But the fact that the opponent could firmly catch it indicated his formidable strength.

Moreover, he seemed very familiar with the opponent’s Dharma Body.

“Five Elements Dharma Body?”

Lu Li’s gaze sparkled, seeing the Five Elements Power swirling around the opponent’s Dharma Body, its aura was incredibly formidable.

Unexpectedly, the opponent had mastered the Five Elements Divine Technique, and had proficiently trained in all aspects, which was quite shocking.

It was known that the powers of the Five Elements interfered with each other, making it incredibly difficult to master another after perfecting one, let alone mastering all five, nearly an impossible feat.

Even Lu Li himself had only trained in one Water Technique and wielded the Three Flavors True Fire, aided immensely by numerous Divine Power Fruits.

This man was indeed incredibly talented, with a brilliance that could dazzle through the ages.

Mu Chen stared intensely at Lu Li, his eyes blazing with a formidable will to fight.

“Good… I was indeed not mistaken about you. Having you as an opponent makes the journey to immortality less lonely, what a fortune.”

With that strike, he had thoroughly felt Lu Li’s strength, which seemed to slightly surpass his own.

In his hands, his Lifebound Magic Treasure, though inferior, had been significantly enhanced by vast resources from the Demon Sect.

Unexpectedly, Lu Li as well wielded a Lifebound Divine Weapon.

Below the platform, many Purple Mansion true experts were looking at the two with shocked expressions.

This exchange of blows had already reached the level of Golden Core Venerables.
