Chapter 1027 - Real Ace in the Hole

“How scary! How horrifying!”

The crowd was terrified, especially the younger martial artists. When they witnessed a battle of that level, they felt utterly mediocre in comparison.

Under the Legendary realm, they could be called peerless, making their years of cultivation seem meaningless.

Clang!

The lightning-fast exchanges between the two came to a stop. Beishan Hong’s Holy Spear was trembling, and his eyes were filled with shock.

He had fought with countless people. Ever since achieving major mastery in his Solar Sacred Body, he had been peerless—most either fled after a single exchange or didn’t dare face him at all.

In all these years, he had never known defeat even against stronger foes. Chen Fan was the first to fight to push him this far.

His killing intent surged to an unprecedented level.

In this world, one Beishan Hong was enough. Wouldn’t Chen Fan only steal his glory?

If he lost, his name would become a mere stepping stone for Chen Fan’s rise. That was unacceptable!

It had always been him using others as stepping stones; never had he been the one trampled.

He was destined to reign supreme and become a behemoth of the Tianwu Continent. Failure was not an option—if he lost, the stain on his legacy would never fade.

Wielding the Brilliant Blade, the Heaven Seizing Furnace revolved furiously inside Chen Fan, refining away the terrifying force inside him.

The Solar Sacred Body, though slightly inferior to Chen Fan’s level 29 Hegemonic Golden Body, was still a terrifying force. Each exchange sent a tremendous shock through him.

However, Chen Fan was exhilarated. Boiling with excitement, he felt truly unleashed.

“Die!” A fierce shout rose to the sky, his qi reaching the clouds.

Chen Fan did not give Beishan Hong a chance to catch his breath. He charged toward his opponent again, his aura as vast as the sea.

Their attacks were direct and overwhelming, crushing and slashing anything in front of them no tricks, no flourishes. They were incredibly confident in their strength.

The Brilliant Blade’s aura tore heaven and earth apart. No special technique—just a simple slash, yet its power surpassed even lower-heaven tier martial arts.

Beishan Hong received the attack head-on.

Clang!

He couldn't afford to show weakness.

Their battle was raw and brutal—no deception, no finesse, just sheer strength colliding. In the face of such power, all techniques were nothing more than tricks.

Boom, boom, boom!

Suddenly, the crowd noticed a shift. They no longer seemed equally matched.

At first, Chen Fan was overwhelmed, barely holding on. Then, he resisted. Next, his cultivation broke through, and both fighters became evenly matched.

Now—he was firmly suppressing Beishan Hong.

“Is this for real? Beishan Hong is being suppressed. My god, I’m not seeing things, am I!”

“What exactly is going on here?”

“I know what’s happening. He just advanced to the seventh level, so he is using Beishan Hong to gradually gain mastery over his strength. That’s why Chen Fan’s slowly suppressing him.”

“That’s right. He was struggling to control his newly attained seventh-level Manifestation realm strength before. And things are different now. The battle helped him master his strength, so his overall combat strength has increased.”

“At this level, even the slightest improvement can determine victory.”

“Doesn’t this mean that this battle...”

No one understood the shift better than Beishan Hong himself. He was both shocked and enraged.

“Hahahaha, Beishan Hong, I really have to thank you. You helped me advance to the next level and fighting with you saved me immeasurable time, allowing me to fully master my strength. To express my gratitude, I will now fight with all my strength and defeat you!” Chen Fan laughed out loud.

With each clash, Chen Fan’s strength grew as his cultivation stabilized. His aura became even more overwhelming, his brilliance more dazzling and terrifying. Every strike forced Beishan Hong back—he was losing control.

Boom, boom!

Beishan Hong had completely fallen into a disadvantage.

“How could this be? Is Senior Brother Beishan Hong’s undefeated legend about to end?”

“It won’t! Senior Brother Beishan Hong is invincible. How could he possibly lose?”

"I refuse to believe it!"

The Sun Moon Divine Sect’s disciples struggled to accept what they saw. Some even coughed up blood in frustration.

“Brother Beishan, it looks like Xiaohong is about to lose,” Ji Huang said indifferently as he observed the huge battle in the sky.

To the side, Beishan Ling’s expression did not show the slightest change, and he said, “No need to worry, Brother Ji, Hong’er won’t lose.”

Ji Huang’s eyes flickered, but he said nothing more.

In the sky, the two figures blurred past each other, and fresh blood splattered.

Boom!

Everyone’s eyes widened. Someone was injured. Who could it be?

Immediately afterward, the crowd saw Beishan Hong shaking. A streak of fresh blood spattered out from him. Chen Fan had drawn a new hideous, bloody gash on Beishan Hong’s chest, deep enough to see his bones.

“His chest is cut open again!”

Although the crowd was shaken inside, they felt that this was only to be expected, as Chen Fan had completely suppressed Beishan Hong. It seemed that he was no longer a match for Chen Fan, so another injury was only expected.

“Beishan Hong, it’s time for this battle to end!”

Chen Fan’s killing intent surged. His Brilliant Blade hummed with power as he roared forward, aura growing wilder.

“Die!”

He shot forth like a flash of lightning, rushing toward Beishan Hong.

Beishan Hong remained stationary as if he was frozen in fear.

“You...”

Suddenly, a voice rang out; next, Beishan Hong raised his head. His eyes showed neither sorrow nor joy. Looking at Chen Fan rushing toward him, he said, “I have to admit, you really are incredible. To show my respect for you, I shall show you my real ace in the hole.”

Before his voice faded, the light of the sun on Beishan Hong erupted suddenly and violently. Next, he grabbed at the void, burning fiercely.

“Blazing Sun Divine Fist!”

Blasting out with a punch, his fist shone with a blinding light. The infinite power of the sun condensed, forming a huge fist seal that flew toward Chen Fan.

Chen Fan came to an abrupt stop, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.

“The power of law!”
