The battle space of Martial Arts Mountain.
At this moment, waves of tempestuous roars could be faintly heard. Although the sea waves were invisible, their sounds were enough to make one’s heart tremble.
Lin Chen stood in mid-air, his posture upright, with a faint golden flame flowing around him. The invisible scorching pressure caused the air to slightly distort.
Opposite him, Zhang Xu’s smile faded, and his face bore a serious and vast expression. As he slowly raised his hands, the roaring sound of deep-sea waves grew even louder with the movement of his hands.
A mighty blue energy surged out from within him, quickly gathering and compressing in front of him.
This was not a real water flow, but an evolution of Zhang Xu’s Innate Qi.
The turbulent water condensed rapidly into a massive dark blue palm seal, with clear palm lines, as if forged from millennium-old mysterious ice and vast seawater.
"Junior Brother Lin, be careful."
Zhang Xu glanced at Lin Chen. From his pale complexion, Lin Chen could also tell that executing this move wasn’t easy for Zhang Xu.
The opponent truly did not hold back.
"Azure Sea Tide Seal!"
Zhang Xu shouted angrily, his eyes gleaming brightly. This battle was the focus of much attention. Even if he had no personal grudge with Lin Chen, even if Senior Brother Hu had good relations with Lin Chen, he could not hold back.
Because he represented the East Sea Divine Palace, representing its face.
The massive dark blue palm seal, with the weight of crushing mountains and penetration power, instantly filled the entire challenge space, pressing down towards Lin Chen!
Where the palm seal passed, even space seemed to be filled with viscous seawater, creating a sense of sluggishness, seemingly wanting to completely imprison Lin Chen within.
"Senior Brother Zhang’s Azure Sea Tide Seal..."
At this moment, the disciples of the East Sea Divine Palace watching the battle could sense the power of Zhang Xu’s palm, with shock written all over their faces.
As disciples of the East Sea Divine Palace, they were naturally very familiar with the palace’s martial arts. Many disciples had even started practicing them, clearly knowing how much talent it took to reach Senior Brother Zhang’s level.
"Indeed, Junior Brother Zhang’s understanding of the Azure Sea Tide Seal has reached a highly skilled level."
The stewards of the East Sea Divine Palace also wore satisfied expressions. This palm was almost the extreme that Junior Brother Zhang could unleash, after all, he was only at the Innate First Realm.
Compared to the East Sea Divine Palace, the disciples of the Canglan Sect were now staring closely at the light screen, looking tense, with many disciples even holding their breath.
They didn’t know what Zhang Xu and Lin Chen talked about on Martial Arts Mountain, but from the process of unleashing this move and the power of the palm seal, they could deduce that this should be the full-force strike of this East Sea Divine Palace martial artist.
"Little Junior Brother, hold on."
Chai Daoqi whispered. This East Sea Divine Palace disciple’s strength was not below that of the Guixu Sword Tomb disciple earlier.
"Is the thirtieth-ranked Innate Martial Artist on Martial Arts Mountain this strong?"
Qiao Yuan frowned, realizing this was just the thirtieth, how much stronger would the top twenty-nine be?
...
On Martial Arts Mountain.
Faced with the overwhelming might of the palm seal, Lin Chen’s pupils slightly contracted. He could feel the power contained in Senior Brother Zhang’s palm was entirely different from Zhao Feng’s attack.
Zhao Feng’s sword was sharp, focusing all its power in an instant.
As long as he withstood one sword, the follow-up would naturally be no problem.
But this Senior Brother Zhang’s palm released power that was vast, thick, and unending.
It was a stacking power, each wave stronger than the last.
In that case!
At the moment when the overwhelming Azure Sea Palm Seal was about to strike his body,
a piercing sound like the cry of a Golden Crow erupted from within Lin Chen!
The golden wings of flame behind him exploded with fire, and the golden-red flames soared up, transforming into two gigantic blades of flame that tore through space!
Lin Chen’s wings snapped forward, crossing each other! The Inextinguishable Divine Face Technique was fully operational, and the domineering divine power of the Golden Crow Radiance Flame, capable of incinerating everything, was released without reservation.
Whoosh!!!
Lin Chen’s figure transformed into the ultimate golden light, as if rushing into the sea. A large amount of white, high-temperature steam instantly spread, enveloping the entire space.
Outside the scene, countless martial artists watching through the light screen held their breath, sensing the terrifying energy fluctuations from the clash between the two.
The disciples of the Canglan Sect and the East Sea Divine Palace clenched their fists tightly, extremely nervous.
At the center of the boiling white steam, the golden light surged like riding the wind and breaking waves, cutting a golden wave of flame in the ocean, with speed unaffected.
After three breaths!
Zhang Xu looked at the terrifying flame that appeared in front of him and the figure within the flames, his eyes filled with astonishment, but he soon smiled wryly: "Brother Lin, you have won."
Lin Chen’s strength earned his recognition, and the address changed from "Junior Brother Lin" to "Brother Lin."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhang, for letting me win."
"This was no concession, this palm was already my full-force strike, and I still couldn’t inflict any harm on you, Brother Lin. Continuing would also end in defeat, so it’s better to end with dignity."
"With your strength, Brother Lin, the top fifteen should be no problem."
Zhang Xu smiled slightly, and in Lin Chen’s astonished gaze, his figure began to disappear.
Lin Chen was surprised because of Zhang Xu’s words, suggesting that he had no problem reaching the top fifteen. What did that mean?
Zhang Xu’s figure disappeared, and the battlefield returned to calm, with all the mist dispersing as well.
However, the countless martial artists watching the scene were all stunned when they saw the situation on the battlefield, wondering where Zhang Xu of the East Sea Divine Palace had gone.
