Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Outside the Immortal Spirit Tower, countless students focused their eyes on An Lin.

Almost no one was spectating the other three battles. An Lin, the legend of the university, was about to fight the War God of the Immortal Spirit Tower; there was simply no way anyone would want to miss this battle!

This was going to be a battle that was sure to go down in the history books.

An Lin’s strength was tried and true. Although many people were not optimistic about his chances of passing the trial of the ninety-eighth level, it was an indisputable fact that An Lin was the most powerful student in the entire school, perhaps even the most powerful student that the university had seen in the past ten thousand years.

There were often people who would tease him and give him all sorts of weird nicknames.

However, An Lin was an insurmountable peak in the eyes of all the students within The United University of Cultivation. He was a legendary figure within The United University of Cultivation who everyone would think back on with relish when they reminisced about their time at the university.

No one knew just how powerful An Lin was, but they all knew that he was extremely monstrous!

Hence, his battle attracted the attention of almost all the spectators. Even Bai Zhong and the Celestial Thearch were silently spectating the battle that was about to unfold.

Within the ninety-eighth level of the Immortal Spirit Tower.

Xing Tian stepped forward, and the bottomless abyss underfoot suddenly expanded to encompass the entire area within the level, thus enshrouding An Lin within it in the process.

Boom!

An extremely formidable sense of battle intent swept toward An Lin.

The battle intent was imbued with even more fearsome might than An Lin, who had activated his body of the War God, making Xing Tian appear as if he were a God of Slaughter emerging from mountains of bodies and a sea of blood.

At the same time, a strong sense of falling assaulted An Lin’s senses, and he felt as if his body was being engulfed by the boundless darkness below.

This was the first time An Lin had faced off against a mighty figure at the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage as a Soul Formation Stage cultivator, and every single cell within his body trembled with excitement. A battle against such a powerful opponent struck fear into An Lin’s heart but also filled him with a sense of adrenaline-fuelled exhilaration.

Xing Tian spoke with a soft voice, but his tone exuded boundless killing intent, “The darkness on the ground is the domain of my Dao of abyss. Weaker cultivators would be paralyzed by fear and lose all battle intent before being swallowed up by the darkness. Hence, I must give you a bit of credit for being so calm and collected.”

Xing Tian pointed a finger toward An Lin. “Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance; show me your domain! Show me your full strength, and I will crush it!”

“Er, I don’t have a domain,” An Lin replied with an awkward expression.

“Hehe, no domain? Are you a fake cultivator?” Xing Tian sneered coldly.

His words instantly resonated with An Lin. He was right!

“Well, I’ve given you a chance, so don’t blame me for being too brutal and merciless.” Xing Tian did not waste any more words. As he clenched his fists, a suffocating aura of slaughter swept toward An Lin.

A golden lotus insignia surfaced on An Lin’s forehead as he stepped forward and initiated the first attack.

He threw himself at Xing Tian like a cannonball while throwing a mighty fist that was imbued with the vast power of the earth.

Xing Tian’s expression remained completely unchanged in the face of An Lin’s attack as he chose to fight fire with fire and threw a fist of his own.

Boom!

The golden power of the earth exploded forth, and the monstrous resulting shockwave caused the abyss on the ground to tremor slightly.

Xing Tian felt an extremely vast power flowing from his arm through his entire body.

He was then knocked flying under the shocked gazes of countless spectators before his body struck the wall of the Immortal Spirit Tower…

“Gasp…” Countless students drew a collective sharp intake of breath. So strong!

The earth-shattering clash they had envisaged did not take place. Instead, the legendary War God, Xing Tian, was knocked flying by a single punch from An Lin?!

“Gasp…” An Lin also drew a sharp intake of breath. So weak!

After listening to Xing Tian flex so much, An Lin knew that he was quite powerful. Therefore, he immediately unleashed his full power by activating the power of his body of the War God to the max from the get-go. To his surprise, Xing Tian was immediately knocked flying…

Xing Tian was a little dumbstruck too. Was An Lin really that powerful?

After evaluating the strength imbued within that one punch, he was able to come to the conclusion that An Lin was indeed quite powerful. It appeared that he had underestimated him.

“Very good… It looks like you’re certainly not weak, and as such, you are worthy of experiencing my full strength.” Xing Tian dusted himself off before stepping forward. His body suddenly shot forth at an alarming speed as he appeared right before An Lin in the blink of an eye before launching a fearsome fist!

The golden lotus insignia flashed on An Lin’s forehead as his fist also whistled through the air.

Boom!

Another monstrous clash took place.

This time, it was An Lin’s turn to be forced into retreat.

Xing Tian continued to press his advantage as his fists rained down upon An Lin, leaving a series of afterimages in their paths.

An Lin didn’t dodge. Instead, he too chose to fight fire with fire.

Boom boom boom…

A series of devastating clashes caused the entire tower to tremor incessantly as the violent shockwaves threatened to pulverize the ground below.

“Hahaha… I’ve missed this feeling. How long has it been since I’ve fought like this!” Xing Tian’s attacks grew in power as the battle progressed, and he chortled with glee.

An Lin’s initial success stage body of the War God was extremely powerful, but his control of power and technique in his punches were greatly inferior to Xing Tian.

As a seasoned veteran of countless battles, Xing Tian became the best fist-technique coach for An Lin.

An Lin was also basking in the exhilaration of a straightforward fistfight like this. It was the purest form of battle, and he too grew in power as the battle progressed. This was how true men battled!

Thus, the two of them exchanged one blow after another. At times, An Lin’s fist would strike Xing Tian’s well-built chest while Xing Tian would retaliate with a punch to the face, but the adrenaline and exhilaration drowned out any pain or fear from being struck.

From an objective point of view, Xing Tian held the upper hand in all aspects, regardless of whether it was the fearsome might imbued within his fists, his ability to find holes in An Lin’s defense, or the number of times he struck his opponent.

Outside the Immortal Spirit Tower, most of the spectating students had also figured this out for themselves.

At the same time, as they were shocked by how intense the battle was, they were also shaking their heads while sighing forlornly. “It looks like An Lin is firmly on the back foot and should suffer defeat before too long…”

“Despite all that, I have absolutely no regrets from this trip to the Immortal Spirit Tower. Not only did I reap some rich rewards for myself, but I’m also able to witness a battle for the ages!” a male student exclaimed with a fervent expression.

“Is it really a battle for the ages? They’re only using their fists; I feel like this is a bit boring,” some of the female students countered.

“You don’t know sh*t!” The male student rolled his eyes at her before turning his attention back to the crystalline screen.

One minute later, An Lin was still firmly on the back foot but still somehow remained undefeated.

The two of them were still engaged in a fierce fistfight.

Many of the students who had proclaimed that An Lin was going to suffer defeat soon were all feeling a little embarrassed as they were forced to swallow their words. At the same time, they were quite confused. How had he not lost yet? He had copped over a hundred punches already!

One student came to a sudden realization as he exclaimed, “Have you guys forgotten that God An recently attained some sort of divine ability? His skin is as thick as a f*cking fortress now!”

His words instantly answered everyone’s questions.

Everyone’s expressions became even more reverent as they looked up at An Lin.

Thick skin was an ability too!

In contrast to everyone else, the Celestial Thearch was observing things on a deeper level. “I can tell that An Lin’s combat prowess is inferior to Xing Tian, but his fist techniques are growing stronger as the battle progresses. It’s quite clear that he’s attaining enlightenment during the battle. What monstrous aptitude.

“On top of that, he remains exuberant even though he has been at a disadvantageous position for so long in this battle. This is an indication of formidable stamina and defensive ability. It appears that the divine body he had attained that day is extremely powerful. It really is difficult to predict the end result of this battle…”

Xing Tian was also slowly beginning to realize this problem.

He became more and more in awe of An Lin as the battle progressed. It was clear that his challenger possessed an outstanding talent and the combat prowess to match. This wasn’t some ignorant challenger that stumbled into battle; this was an opponent to be reckoned with!

“Hahaha… very good, An Lin!

“You’re not an admirer, and you’re certainly not some clueless fool. You are someone from the third category; you are a worthy opponent!”

Xing Tian’s battle intent suddenly soared as his muscles bulged, and a red aura imbued with monstrous killing intent enveloped his entire body.

He launched a fist, which resembled a massive mountain, toward An Lin. The devastating force instantly created an extremely violent shockwave.

Boom!

An Lin’s blood churned as the earth-shattering force behind the fist launched his body into the air , causing him to crash into the wall of the Immortal Spirit Tower.

The Dao of slaughter had been fully unleashed!
