Chapter 463: A Clash of Titans

Xiahou Chen was well aware that if he refused to admit defeat, the mental energy attacks, still lingering around his mind like electric drills, could collapse his mental sea at any moment. So, the moment he regained clarity, he made the right decision.
Ye Feng indeed intended to teach him a lesson, but seeing him surrender, he decided to stop.
“Just one move…” The onlookers couldn’t help but marvel.
“Although I can’t see the pattern of his mental energy attacks, judging from Xiahou Chen’s reaction, it should be enough to kill him. That means his mental energy strength is at the peak of the Emperor God level, or even higher.” Ye Feng’s move also caught the attention of some who weren’t at the arena.
Ye Feng looked up at a tall building in the distance. During the fight, he sensed three streams of mental energy coming from there, all at the level of Ancestral Gods.
“He actually noticed us?” A man in green clothes on the high building was surprised.
“That’s not surprising. He must have practiced mental energy techniques. Our probing earlier wasn’t very discreet either.” A middle-aged man in purple robes watched Ye Feng’s direction with interest. Though the distance was great, his sharp eyes could only barely make out which arena the gaze was coming from—though that arena appeared no larger than a thumbnail in his sight.
“A mental energy strength close to that of an Ancestral God, along with combat skills on a similar level. A hundred consecutive victories would be a piece of cake for him.” The speaker was a young man in white, gently fanning himself with a white feather fan, looking utterly pleased.
“It’s a shame that Ancestral Gods are prohibited from participating in arena battles. Otherwise, I’d really like to give it a try,” the man in green said, eager for action.
“Don’t worry. In a few more matches, we’ll likely see something interesting,” the young man in white replied with a smile.
“Are you referring to Thunder God, who’s currently first on the newcomer rankings? He seems to have arrived in our Cana City just three days ago. He’s a troublemaker,” the middle-aged man in purple frowned slightly.
“Quite troublesome. At the peak of the Emperor God level, he’s already defeated five early-stage Ancestral Gods and is searching everywhere for stronger Ancestral Gods to challenge,” the man in green said, also looking displeased.
“I’ve heard that too. Apparently, he’s already started challenging mid-stage Ancestral Gods… and seems to have a target in mind…” The young man in white said, glancing secretly at the man in green.
“He’s also paying attention to that guy named Blade Edge. I guess it won’t be long before he can’t hold back and steps in himself,” the young man in white continued.

At this moment, those who challenged Ye Feng also stepped onto the arena one after another, only to lose convincingly. Unlike before, all these challengers were powerhouses at the Emperor God level, including some at the peak of that realm. The moment the ninety-ninth challenger lost, a bolt of lightning flashed in the sky, and then a tall man suddenly appeared on the arena. Ye Feng narrowed his eyes slightly—he knew this guy was extremely strong. As soon as the opponent stepped onto the stage, his overwhelming aura made it clear just how powerful he was. “A powerhouse at the Ancestor God level?” Ye Feng dismissed this guess immediately. “No, he must be at the peak of Emperor God level. But with such an intense aura, he’s truly terrifying—almost on par with ordinary Ancestor God level beginners.” “It’s Thunder God…” murmurs came from the crowd. “Yes, a terrifying guy…” “You’re not bad,” the man said without hesitation, praising Ye Feng. “I’m Thunder God. I challenge you.” “You’re quite strong too!” Ye Feng smiled, knowing he had encountered a formidable opponent this time. With that, he extended his right hand. “Let’s follow my old rules!” Thunder God raised his eyebrows slightly. “Let me strike first? You might not get a chance to retaliate…” “You can try!” Although Ye Feng appeared relaxed, his muscles were tense, ready to react at any moment. Without any warning, Thunder God disappeared from the arena. The people below looked around in shock. Yet Ye Feng’s gaze remained unchanged, though he was surprised inwardly. “So fast!” Ye Feng knew such speed was beyond even his own capabilities. Thunder God’s speed had surpassed the limits achievable by Emperor God level warriors, which was one of the main reasons he could defeat Ancestor God level opponents. In the blink of an eye, Thunder God had launched hundreds of attacks, all of which were easily blocked by Ye Feng. Although Ye Feng wasn’t as fast, his exceptional combat awareness allowed him to react before attacks reached him. “That speed is just warming up,” Thunder God said as he reappeared. “A good warm-up,” Ye Feng replied, realizing he had encountered a tough opponent. “Such fast speed—far faster than ordinary Ancestor God level beginners!” From atop a high building, a man in purple robes couldn’t help but exclaim. “No wonder he can defeat Ancestor God level warriors.”

“That guy named Blade Edge doesn’t have much of a chance…” The man in green wore no optimism for Ye Feng. “His speed is completely suppressed, his strength isn’t as great as the opponent’s, and his mental power is at most on par. He no longer has any advantages over the others.”
“It’s a bit early to draw conclusions, isn’t it?” The young man in white continued to wave his fan leisurely, his gaze fixed on Ye Feng.
“I may not have that guy’s speed, but the combat techniques and movement skills I know are beyond his reach forever…” Ye Feng’s lips curled slightly. The moment Thunder God disappeared from sight, he too vanished.
“Blade Edge has disappeared too???” The onlookers were shocked once again. They had thought Thunder God’s speed was a huge advantage, but it seemed not to be the case now.
“What’s going on? How did Blade Edge’s speed…?” The man in green atop the building’s roof suddenly stopped speaking. “No, that’s not achieved through speed—it’s movement skills… Such exquisite movement skills.”
In fact, what Ye Feng did was quite simple—he simply used Instant Step, a technique he hadn’t used in a long time for short-distance movement. Although he had learned Instant Step back when he was still in the cultivation world, using it with his current strength produced a completely different effect.
Even Ye Feng was surprised; he hadn’t expected this technique to work so well.
The figures of the two appeared and disappeared repeatedly, with each appearance resulting in a fierce collision. The intense roaring sound spread across the entire city, attracting more powerful fighters to arrive.
“Are these two really not at the level of Ancestral Gods?” Many Emperors and Gods wondered.
“It’s not surprising that Thunder God can reach this level, but who is that strange boy? How can he also be this strong?” Among the onlookers, there were also Ancestral Gods who could clearly see the movements of the two.
The battle between them lasted about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Although Ye Feng was at a disadvantage, those who could observe clearly knew that if this situation continued, it would likely take more than ten days or half a month to determine a winner. From their observations, Ye Feng’s strength was slightly weaker, but comparable to Thunder God’s. Moreover, someone at such a level surely had a trump card to turn the situation around. In their eyes, although Thunder God was stronger, it wasn’t impossible for him to lose this fight.

Thor himself was well aware that he had truly encountered a tough opponent this time. He had fully regarded Ye Feng as a master on his own level, and in his eyes, Ye Feng was even more difficult to deal with than the five Ancestral God-level warriors he had defeated. Before challenging those Ancestral God-level warriors, he would always conduct thorough research—knowing their combat techniques and their comeback moves, as well as each person’s weaknesses, so he could adapt in battle.

But against Ye Feng, he knew nothing—no idea about his background, his skills, or his weaknesses. The most frightening part was that he didn’t know what Ye Feng’s trump card for a comeback was. The only thing that gave him slight comfort was that his opponent also didn’t know much about him. Thus, this was a fairer battle than before.

At that moment, Ye Feng was also shocked inwardly. “Even at the Emperor God level, he has such strength. If it weren’t for my ability to recognize the aura of a Void Walker, I might have mistaken him for one who has obtained the complete inheritance.”

“You’re truly strong.” After failing to defeat him after prolonged attacks, Thor stopped again. Standing proudly in the void above the arena, admiration flashed in his eyes. “You could be said to be the strongest opponent I’ve ever faced.”

This evaluation surprised everyone present even more. Most of them knew that Thor had already defeated five Ancestral God-level warriors. By evaluating this young man named Blade in such high terms, it was clear that Blade’s strength had surpassed that of Ancestral God-level warriors. How could anyone remain calm when that Blade’s cultivation was only at the Emperor God level?

Ye Feng, however, was unaware of Thor’s background. In fact, even if he had known, he wouldn’t have cared much. He stood there, smiling, while wondering what moves Thor would use next.

“To show my respect for you, I will use my strongest move to end this battle.” Thor’s voice was deep as he extended his right hand, forming a claw with his palm facing upward. A faint buzzing sound arose, followed by a tiny arc of electricity appearing in his palm, the purple arc jumping continuously within it.

“This move was something I stumbled upon by chance. Though I’ve only learned the basics, many strong warriors have been defeated by it.” Thor’s expression seemed unnatural, clearly indicating that mastering this move was difficult for him.

“The power of thunder elements—quite impressive.” Ye Feng’s lips curled slightly, seemingly unbothered at all.

“Do you know about elemental power?” Thor was surprised.
“Indeed.” Ye Feng also extended his right hand, and a similar purple arc appeared in his palm.
Thor was stunned. He hadn’t expected Ye Feng not only to know about elemental power but also to be able to use it. Yet this only fueled his fighting spirit even more. “Just having elemental power isn’t enough—you’ll still lose to me!”
“Go ahead and use your strongest move,” Ye Feng said, standing patiently in place.
“My move is called Three Thousand Thunder Roars…” Thor’s voice grew ethereal as he slowly split into two people, both of whom held elemental power in their palms.
“At its peak, it can create three thousand clones…” Thor’s voice remained distant, while the number of clones had doubled to four.
Ye Feng showed little expression, but it was clear he wasn’t afraid of this move.
“The essence of this move isn’t the clones, but rather…” Thor’s figure blurred again. “The accumulation of elemental power…”
Hearing this, the anticipation in Ye Feng’s eyes vanished instantly, and he quickly returned to his calm state.
“I can create up to sixteen clones at most. That means, with accumulation, I can possess sixteen times my original strength, including elemental power.”
Ye Feng glanced briefly at Thor’s original form and clones surrounding him, then focused on his right palm, continuously forming strange seals with his left hand.
“The elemental laws are one of the most fundamental laws that constitute the universe, as well as the simplest. Many of the secret patterns I’ve learned are related to elemental laws. So, to strengthen the lightning elemental power in my hands, the simplest way is to embed the elemental law patterns within them…” Ye Feng’s logic was straightforward—he used the law patterns to enhance the power of those laws. As for the results, he didn’t know, as he had never tried it before.
Meanwhile, Thor’s clones disappeared one by one, while the lightning in his hand grew more intense and powerful.
The lightning in Ye Feng’s palm also grew stronger and more solid with the addition of the secret patterns.
The onlookers held their breath, watching this scene. Many of them knew they might never get another chance to witness something so spectacular. Battles at the level of ancestral gods weren’t something one encountered every day.
The three ancestral god-level warriors atop the high building all stared at Ye Feng, closely observing the seals he was forming.

There were also twoancestral god-level powerhouses among the crowd, both of whom wanted to obtain what they desired from Ye Feng’s hand seal.
“This is the elemental rule—he actually mastered it…” The young man in white on the high building showed a serious expression for the first time.
“Let’s decide the winner with just one move!” The Thunder God’s clones finally disappeared completely, and the purple lightning in his hand reached its peak intensity.
“Let’s go!” Ye Feng felt every cell in his body becoming excited.
The two of them vanished simultaneously and reappeared right in the center of the arena. The two bolts of lightning collided with each other…
