At this moment, the Concealed Sovereign – Yang Ce felt his entire body going numb.
Not only was his Immortal Aura unable to circulate properly, even his mind seemed to have entered a state of stillness.
Fortunately, the Concealed Sovereign – Yang Ce always considered the possibility of losing before thinking about winning. He had already predicted the possibility of him receiving the Three Feet Freezing Technique and being heavily injured.
As such, although his mind was in a state of blankness, as if he didn't feel anything, a treasure that he had prepared beforehand took effect.
The strong yang qi and blazing fire essence exploded within Yang Ce's Niwan Palace, causing his mind to wake up from the frozen state.
Under the intertwining of ice and fire, the Concealed Sovereign felt dizzy and felt as if his soul was being torn apart.
However, he quickly recovered and retracted the dim radiance on his body, suppressing the icy cold qi within his body. Then, he quickly retreated.
After the seven slashes, the crack on the Astro Sovereign – Chen Xuanzong's forehead had an ice-blue devilish light faintly appearing.
Chen Xuanzong forcefully suppressed his mind, but he still slashed towards the Concealed Sovereign – Yang Ce.
Although it wasn't as strong as the previous seven slashes, it was still extraordinarily sharp.
If Yang Ce was still in the frozen state, he would have to suffer from this slash.
However, he had already recovered. He managed to alleviate the stiffness on his body and retreated without hesitation. Finally, he managed to avoid Chen Xuanzong's slash.
Even so, the injuries on Yang Ce's body were more severe than he had expected.
Even if Chen Xuanzong's body wasn't in a good condition, he was still stronger than him.
The outcome of this battle had already been determined.
The Astro Sovereign – Chen Xuanzong won!
"Being frozen for a thousand years and constantly wrestling with the Water Demon, although it is not a real fight with a human, it also made your blade sharper." Yang Ce's Xuan Immortal body was no longer a human body of flesh and blood.
However, his skin had become extremely pale, as if it was covered by a layer of frost.
He looked at Chen Xuanzong and let out a long sigh.
Yan Zhaoge's eyes flickered with brilliance. He nodded continuously and felt that this trip was worthwhile.
The Exalted Water Luminary – Chen Xuanzong and the Exalted Concealed Luminary – Yang Ce were part of the New Kunlun Nine Luminaries. They were once the pride of their era, and now, they were legendary figures.
Even before the Great Calamity, Profound Immortal Sovereigns with such standards were extremely rare.
Needless to say, a battle between two emperors of such a high level was even rarer.
Although the battle didn't last long and the victor was decided within ten moves, both sides had used their full strength. The danger involved was far beyond the imagination of the onlookers.
"The Concealed Sovereign could tell that the Astro Sovereign couldn't endure a long battle because of the devilish seal, so he wanted to end the battle as soon as possible. Therefore, he didn't intend to fight with the Astro Sovereign head-on." Yan Zhaoge praised, "His strong attack at the beginning was intentional."
The Sword Sovereign – Yue Zhenbei, who was at the side, said, "That's right. Firstly, it's to gain the upper hand with a show of strength. Secondly, it's to suppress the Astro Sovereign's accumulation of power, causing it to become hasty."
No matter if it was the Astro Sovereign – Chen Xuanzong, or the Concealed Sovereign – Yang Ce, they were both people who were most proficient in battles of attrition.
It wasn't because their strength was thick and boundless, but because the two of them were the type of people who grew stronger the more they fought.
On the other hand, their opponents might become weaker as they fought.
In fact, Chen Xuanzong's fighting style was rather slow.
It didn't mean that he wasn't strong at the beginning. Instead, as his frigid qi continued to spread out, he would become stronger and stronger. Only when he reached the peak would he reach his strongest state.
As for his opponent, due to the frigid qi's continuous corrosion and accumulation, even if he didn't explode from the Three Feet Freeze, he would still be affected. As a result, he wouldn't be able to display his full strength like usual.
Yang Ce's style was similar to Chen Xuanzong's.
On one hand, it was similar to the Dim Radiant Twelve Arts' Wilderness Devouring Art. When the Concealed Sovereign – Yang Ce's Ketu Dim Encompassing Mantra was unleashed, the corrosive power would devour his opponent's strength and strengthen Yang Ce's body within a short period of time.
On the other hand, other than the Heaven Enveloping Palm and the Ketu Dim Encompassing Mantra, Yang Ce still had the Soul Eroding Mist.
Previously, Chen Xuanzong's frigid qi saber intent was constantly being corroded by Yang Ce's corrosive power.
Affected by this, Chen Xuanzong's body was also slowly being corroded by the corrosive power.
As time passed, his body and soul would become weaker and weaker.
Hence, those who fought against the Concealed Sovereign – Yang Ce would also become weaker and weaker. In the end, they might even lose without knowing why.
Under normal circumstances, when the two of them fought against each other, unless one of them made a huge mistake, they would probably fight until the end of time and see who would starve to death first.
However, Chen Xuanzong had the devil seal hidden in his body. After a long battle, the seal would be affected. Hence, he used a different fighting style from his usual fighting style.
He wanted to end the battle quickly and determine the winner within seven moves. If he didn't win, he would lose.
If the Concealed Sovereign could withstand his seven attacks and not be defeated, he wouldn't have to continue fighting. If he continued fighting, the Water Devil would be the one to benefit. If he was distracted to suppress the devil, he would definitely lose.
The Concealed Sovereign – Yang Ce could also see this clearly.
He naturally didn't intend to fight against Chen Xuanzong head-on. Delaying would mean victory.
However, delaying would also require strategy.
If he were to passively take a beating and give up everything to Chen Xuanzong, he wouldn't be able to resist even if he wanted to. He would only be completely suppressed by Chen Xuanzong and eventually defeated.
Yang Ce had been famous for many years and had experienced countless battles. Naturally, he knew that the best defense was offense.
As such, he immediately took the initiative and attacked first. Moreover, he used the Heaven Enveloping Palm with his full strength, which was extremely tyrannical.
Not only did he seize the initiative, but he also disrupted Chen Xuanzong's rhythm of accumulating power. He didn't allow Chen Xuanzong to continuously unleash one attack after another until he reached the pinnacle with an unstoppable momentum.
The earlier stages of the battle were all within Yang Ce's expectations. It had proceeded as he had planned.
However, the strength of Chen Xuanzong's saber intent had increased by another level, which exceeded Yang Ce's expectations. As a result, Yang Ce's plan failed.
Yang Ce was able to receive the full strength attack of the two-foot-long Broken Cold Wave. However, when Chen Xuanzong once again broke through Yang Ce's defense, he still managed to break through.
As such, the Water Luminary won against the Concealed Luminary!
"However, if he didn't intentionally conceal it, the Concealed Sovereign doesn't seem to know the Origin Heavenly Scripture." Yan Zhaoge was deep in thought.
The Concealed Sovereign – Yang Ce's gaze swept past Chen Xuanzong, Yue Zhenbei, and Yan Zhaoge. His gaze lingered on Chen Xuanzong and Yue Zhenbei. In the end, he let out a sigh and smiled, "Forget it. Win or lose, the final result is the same."
Even if he won against Chen Xuanzong, it would only be his personal victory.
The Sword Sovereign had returned to the World beyond Worlds before the Exalted Earth Luminary. Before the Exalted Earth Luminary – Jiang Shen returned, Yang Ce naturally couldn't continue sitting on the Mountain Tai.
He shook his head and flew backward. He entered the void and was about to disappear.
The Astro Sovereign and the Sword Sovereign frowned.
However, before they could do anything, a treasure light suddenly flew out from the World beyond Worlds, which was far away. It disturbed the cosmic void in this area.
Using this as a cover, the Concealed Sovereign's figure quickly disappeared.
Yan Zhaoge didn't continue caring about the Concealed Sovereign's whereabouts. Instead, he looked towards the World beyond Worlds.
"What's that?"
