Chapter 354: The Ultimate Duel
As the Purple Extreme Venerable delivered his second palm strike, the heavens and earth instantly changed color. Above the vast Poberun City, thunderous roars echoed incessantly. The sound seemed to come from the thunder in the heavens, causing the entire island to tremble.
“This Purple Extreme Venerable truly deserves to be called the greatest in the immortal realm. His strength is so formidable that it could be considered divine even in the celestial realm. Just this one palm strike has caused such upheaval in the heavens and earth—it’s truly terrifying!” Ye Feng frowned slightly. Although he had known from the start that the Purple Extreme Venerable was a half-god-level warrior and that he ranked among the top among such warriors, he hadn’t expected his strength to be so astonishing. A phenomenon that could alter the heavens and earth only occurs when one reaches the energy threshold that a world can withstand. It’s not due to resonance with the forces of the world, but rather because the world exerts a repulsive force, resulting in such a terrifying sight.
“What incredible strength!” The Third Demon Emperor, who was watching from the side, couldn’t help but praise. “If anyone in the celestial realm were hit by this palm strike, they would likely perish.”
At that moment, the white puppy finally shifted its attention from Ye Feng to the Purple Extreme Venerable, examining him carefully before slowly lowering its head and continuing to watch the battle.
As for the woman who called herself Scorpio, she stared anxiously toward the battlefield—more precisely, at Ye Feng. The worry in her eyes was unmistakable.
Like many other cities in the demon realm, Poberun City was located on a huge island. Poberun City occupied two-thirds of the island’s area, situated in the center, while the remaining one-third consisted of smaller towns and villages, home to weaker demon cultivators.
The Purple Extreme Venerable’s palm strike affected not just Poberun City; the entire island felt its power, trembling slightly under the immense force. Combined with the terrifying changes in the sky and the deafening roars, many who were unaware of the truth might truly think the end of the world had arrived…
“With such a powerful palm strike, even if I use all my cultivation skills and this top-tier equipment to defend myself, I’d likely suffer serious damage. That kid named Blade hasn’t even formed a divine essence yet. If he doesn’t handle things carefully, he might perish…” The Third Demon Emperor now felt a hint of regret.
Across the entire floating island, everyone looked up at the strange phenomenon in the sky, filled with terror. Although various battles broke out in Broken Army City almost every day, none had ever been as frightening and oppressive as today.
Ye Feng, who was at the heart of the battlefield, naturally knew just how powerful Zi Ji Zun Zhe’s move was, yet not a trace of fear showed on his face.
With a slight movement, five identical men appeared beside Ye Feng. This change was also noticed by some of the onlookers.
“It’s a clone technique!” The Third Demon Emperor whispered. “Where did he get a manual for such a high-level physical clone technique? In the entire Heavenly Realm, only a few people know how to use it.”
The little white dog in his arms also raised its head slightly, its fluffy face showing a human-like expression—surprise.
The five physical clones took up the same stance as Ye Feng in mid-air, the same stance they had when they had just blocked the first punch.
“Still that move?” The Third Demon Emperor’s expression showed clear disappointment. The power of Zi Ji Zun Zhe’s punch was vastly different from the first one. In his view, although Dao Feng used five clones, using the same move was merely a quantitative change and was far from enough to withstand that punch’s force. “Is this his greatest strength? If so, even if he manages to survive this punch, he definitely won’t survive the next one…”
Ye Feng, of course, paid no attention to others’ thoughts; he didn’t have the time for that now. Yet, his confident expression made it clear that he was fully assured of himself.
“Punch to Determine the Universe!” Ye Feng’s true self and the five clones beside him swung their fists in unison.
Without any elaborate prelude, just a simple punch—six tiny spatial ripples slowly spread out. The rhythmic vibrations began to merge together: six became three, three became one, forming a massive spatial ripple that acted like a huge shield in front of Ye Feng.
Most of the onlookers below didn’t understand what was happening. After Ye Feng’s punch, a powerful oppressive aura filled the world, but they had no idea what was going on.
Those with sharper eyes could see a huge distortion in the space in front of Ye Feng, but they still didn’t know what it was.
Only those who had reached the highest levels could clearly sense that immense spatial power.
The Third Demon Emperor’s slightly open mouth left him speechless for a long time. He never expected Ye Feng’s move to be so ingenious—six punches combined to produce such an effect. Even the little white dog stared intently at the spatial shield in mid-air, not blinking.
“It seems I underestimated him!” It took the Third Demon Emperor some time to recover. Gently stroking the little white dog’s head, he laughed self-mockingly. “With that spatial force blocking it, at least 80% of the power in Zi Ji Zunzhe’s palm strike will be reduced. That little guy, Dao Feng, managed to block this move.”
The moment the Third Demon Emperor reached this conclusion, the collision between the two finally began. Continuous loud booms reached everyone’s ears. The giant palm descending from the sky transformed into a claw, wielding the power of heaven and earth to strike at the colorless shield, aiming to destroy it in one blow.
Yet the colorless shield was incredibly resilient. Under the impact of the giant claw, it only produced ripples, suffering no real damage and showing no signs of breaking at all. Those who didn’t understand what was going on looked up at the sky in confusion. They didn’t know what was happening, only that the golden claw was blocked by some invisible force. Most of them simply watched the spectacle.
The powerful warriors above the ultimate realm who were observing the battle became thoughtful after seeing Ye Feng’s move. They couldn’t figure out why Ye Feng, who seemed to be at a complete disadvantage in terms of strength, could block such a terrifying attack. That palm strike was powerful enough to destroy most of the floating island where Pojun City lay…
Only Ye Feng remained calm, watching the scene before him. His eyes showed no trace of surprise, only an unfaltering composure.
