Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven

Chapter 1926 - 1917: Battle of Equals

"That just shows your lack of insight."

Mo Wangchen smiled faintly and continued, "Lizhou isn’t too big, but it’s not small either. Among the various realms and forces, there are numerous hidden talents who have never shown themselves. Can you really say you’re certainly better than them?"

Jiang Li scoffed, "If they’re truly capable, why would they stay hidden? Ultimately, it’s because their cultivation isn’t strong enough, and they don’t dare to show themselves."

"Say what you like, but in my opinion, your arrogance needs to be checked. Otherwise, when you’re out in the world, you’ll suffer one day." Mo Wangchen replied.

"Do you think you’re qualified to say such things to me?" Jiang Li raised his head, looking down at Mo Wangchen disdainfully.

Throughout, he never placed Mo Wangchen in his eyes. What Divine King Body? In the end, without reaching the Unity Realm Stage, he’s nothing but an ant, unworthy of mention.

"It seems you’re quite confident in your strength. Why? Do you wish to challenge me on the Martial Battle Platform?" His face bore a look of contempt as he stared at Mo Wangchen, his words carrying a provocative tone.

"I admit my cultivation isn’t as high as yours, but I’m not afraid of you. I may not boast too much, but in the same realm, I consider myself invincible. If you don’t believe it, you can try." Mo Wangchen returned the stare.

"How do you propose to test this?" Jiang Li asked.

Mo Wangchen chuckled, "With your arrogance, do you dare to suppress your cultivation and fight me within the same realm?"

With the Divine King Body and Heavenly Emperor Secret Technique among his cards, Mo Wangchen feared no one in the same realm battle.

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned, and some even showed excitement in their eyes.

Clearly, today’s Thousand Realms Assembly was somewhat dull and tedious for these top talents.

If they could witness a top-tier showdown, it truly wouldn’t be a futile trip.

Mo Wangchen with the Divine King Body, and Jiang Li, the Shuiyun Saint, one of the top twenty young talents in the Yan State region.

Should the two clash, it would surely be a thrilling battle.

"You’re indeed arrogant and proud, yet to me, you’re merely an ant. Fine, since you claim to be invincible within the same realm with the Divine King Body, today, I’ll show you what it means to have people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens!" Jiang Li stood up slowly.

With that, the Unity Realm Stage aura on him gradually receded, as if suppressed by some Forbidden Power, finally leaving him with a Reverse Life Realm sixth level cultivation.

Yet even so, the aura from him remained terrifyingly strong. The prodigies at the pinnacle of Reverse Life Realm level nine couldn’t help but show deep apprehension in their eyes.

The Unity Realm Stage truly lives up to its name; even suppressing his cultivation to the sixth level of the Reverse Life Realm, his strength could still overlook most of the prodigies present.

"Whoosh!"

Mo Wangchen smiled faintly, put down the wine cup in his hand, and his figure vanished into the bamboo grove.

Jiang Li moved immediately, and not just him; everyone in the bamboo grove followed, heading towards the nearby square.

"Huh?"

"What’s happening?"

"What’s going on?"

"Holy Dragon Body Du Feiyang, Ye Family’s Heavenly Emperor Bloodline Ye Tiange, Linghong Saint, Xuanling Saintess..."

"Why have all these top talents suddenly appeared?"

The square was bustling with a crowd originally chatting about various topics.

The sudden appearance of everyone caused an uproar throughout the square.

"Whoosh!"

Two figures flashed, instantly appearing in the center of the Martial Battle Platform.

"Is that..."

"The Divine King Body Mo Wangchen!"

"No wonder Du Feiyang and the others have come; Mo Wangchen is about to spar with someone on stage?"

"Who is his opponent?"

"That person... seems to be Shuiyun Saint Jiang Li?"

"Jiang Li? One of the top twenty young talents of the Yan State?"

"Rumor has it his cultivation has reached the Unity Realm Stage, and Mo Wangchen’s opponent is him?"

"Is this for real? That’s a Unity Realm Stage expert."

"Wait, haven’t you noticed Jiang Li’s aura seems to have diminished?"

"He’s suppressed his cultivation; could he be planning to battle Mo Wangchen within the same realm?" An elder expert sharply noticed this detail.

"Even with his cultivation suppressed, Jiang Li’s aura is still this terrifying. Does Mo Wangchen really intend to fight him?"

"After all, he’s a Unity Realm Stage expert, vastly stronger compared to the Reverse Life Realm, even with suppressed cultivation. It’s unlikely that Mo Wangchen can compete, right?"

"Not necessarily. Don’t forget, Mo Wangchen has defeated Cangli Saint, understood the Heavenly Emperor Secret Technique, and possesses a physique as strong as the Holy Dragon Body. This battle is not without hope."

The square was abuzz with speculation, with a wide range of opinions.

Overall, most people were not optimistic about Mo Wangchen.

After all, his opponent was no ordinary person but one of the top twenty young talents of the Yan State, the Shuiyun Saint, Jiang Li!

"Today, in front of the world, I will show you that the so-called Divine King Body is nothing in my eyes."

On the Martial Battle Platform, Jiang Li stood with hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over Mo Wangchen. His body surged with Reverse Power, a presence so formidable it surpassed those at the pinnacle of Reverse Life Realm level nine.

"Noisy."

Mo Wangchen let out a cold chuckle, taking a step forward.

In an instant, the spot where his foot landed cracked open.

Rippling waves of energy dissipated, akin to ripples on water, spreading outward.

At that moment, the space twisted, and the Heavenly Universe darkened, causing the atmosphere to become intensely tense.

"Buzz..."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Mo Wangchen lightly raised his right hand. Two fingers pointed out, and nine sword lights materialized from thin air, intertwining with an immense reverse power, locking onto Jiang Li, instantly striking toward him.

"Mere firefly light."

Jiang Li snorted, never having taken Mo Wangchen seriously.

As the nine sword lights slashed toward him, he neither dodged nor retreated but lightly extended his right hand, snapping forward.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

The nine sword lights abruptly shattered, breaking inch by inch, vanishing into nothingness before they could reach Jiang Ze.

"Now take my sword." Jiang Li raised his head, speaking arrogantly.

With his words, he brought his two fingers together, swinging down through the void.

"Buzz..."

In an instant, a vast sword force emerged, enveloping the entire arena, causing everyone below the Martial Battle Platform to hold their breath.

Above Mo Wangchen’s head, the void tore apart, and a world-ending sword light appeared, slashing downward.
