Time seemed to pass very quickly. Unknowingly, Lin Buzheng and Heavenly King Wu had already fought for close to two hours. The two of them had exchanged more than a thousand moves.
Heavenly King Wu had activated his Three-legged Golden Crow bloodline and combined it with the Nine Forms of the Sacred Crow. Every time he attacked, he was extremely powerful. Terrifying heat swept through the surroundings.
The world suddenly became extremely hot and bright. It was as if they had returned to the terrifying time when the ten suns had appeared simultaneously in ancient times. The boundless heat could burn everything, and the dazzling light blinded all living beings.
Lin Buzheng's counterattacks were also extremely powerful. Although he did not use any high-level cultivation techniques, every move contained the profound and unfathomable principles of the Martial Way. The profoundness of his moves was vaguely above that of the Nine Forms of the Sacred Crow.
Although Lin Buzheng had not cultivated any high-level cultivation techniques, he had obtained the Reincarnation Imperial Sutra, Demon Refinement Sutra, and Divine Might Original Imperial Sutra — three Emperor-level cultivation techniques.
These three imperial sutras did not contain any martial techniques. However, every word and sentence pointed to the most profound and mysterious source of martial arts.
It was not an exaggeration to say that every word and sentence in the three imperial sutras could evolve into a supreme Sage Technique that far surpassed the Nine Forms of the Sacred Crow.
It was precisely because of this that although Heavenly King Wu's Nine Forms of the Sacred Crow seemed unfathomable and powerful enough to kill kings and emperors, he could not gain the upper hand in the battle at all. Instead, he was firmly suppressed.
Apart from that, Lin Buzheng's strength and speed were also above Heavenly King Wu's.
As the battle progressed, Heavenly King Wu circulated his secret technique and continuously absorbed Spiritual Qi from the surroundings. He maintained his peak condition.
On the other hand, Lin Buzheng not only maintained his peak condition, but he also became more and more ferocious as the battle progressed.
As time passed, the power of his attacks became more and more terrifying. Compared to the beginning, his strength had increased by more than five hundred tons.
Each punch was enough to shatter a small mountain. Heavenly King Wu found it difficult to block. His dazzling golden armor had already become tattered and unrecognizable.
His speed also became increasingly faster. His unpredictable figure even formed a series of indistinguishable illusions in Heavenly King Wu's eyes, making it difficult to distinguish which was real and which was fake. His attacks repeatedly missed.
Such a scene shocked all the spectating cultivators. Only now did they realize that what Lin Buzheng said was true.
In the beginning, he had shown that he was on par with Heavenly King Wu, but that was only half of his true strength.
Now that Lin Buzheng was using the remaining half of his strength, Sky King Wu's weakness was obvious. His final defeat was only a matter of time!
"Heavenly King, let me help you!"
Yue He was like a clear moon that stood on the horizon. From the beginning until the end, she hadn't spoken a single word, and she silently watched the battle from afar.
Seeing that Heavenly King Wu had fallen into a disadvantageous position and was gradually showing signs of defeat, he finally couldn't help but speak out of concern. He wanted to join the battle and turn the situation around.
When the spectators heard this, they were shocked.
Although Yue He kept a low profile and was willing to serve as Heavenly King Wu's foil, her true strength was extremely strong.
Not only had his cultivation reached the Fifth Step of the Spirit Path, but he had also cultivated the Pure Moon Skill, one of the three King Level Cultivation Methods of the Chongsheng Sect, to an extremely profound realm. His strength was comparable to Heavenly King Wu's.
If the two of them joined forces, this battle would definitely be full of variables, and the situation might even be turned around!
"Yue He, step back!"
"This is a battle between me and Senior Brother of the Shenwei Sect. No one is allowed to interfere!"
However, when Heavenly King Wu heard this, his face immediately darkened. He rejected Yue He's request without hesitation.
In the Trial of a Hundred Battles, one could use all means to defeat one's opponent. However, the battle between Heavenly King Wu and Lin Buzheng was no longer as simple as the last battle of the Trial of a Hundred Battles. It was also a clash between the top disciples of the Chongsheng Sect and the Shenwei Sect.
If Lin Buzheng's cultivation was much higher than Heavenly King Wu's, then there would be no problem for Heavenly King Wu to join forces with Yue He.
However, the reality was that Lin Buzheng's cultivation was not only two levels lower than Heavenly King Wu's, but he was also one level younger than Heavenly King Wu.
If Heavenly King Wu joined forces with Yue He, even if he defeated Lin Buzheng, it would be an unfair victory.
Whether it was his identity as the Eldest Senior Brother of the Chongsheng Sect or his pride as a Martial Arts expert, neither would allow him to do so.
"Golden Crow Illuminates the World!"
Heavenly King Wu roared furiously. His voice hadn't finished resounding through the air when Martial True Essence that was vast like an ocean rumbled and charged out from within his body. It was like a myriad of golden flames that burned wantonly in the horizon, and it even dyed half the sky golden yellow.
Heavenly King Wu's Martial Qi soared, and his strength suddenly increased by a large margin. He was once again on par with Lin Buzheng.
Evidently, Heavenly King Wu had also noticed the gradually widening gap in strength between him and Lin Buzheng.
As such, he did not hold back at all and completely activated his strength. He did not even hesitate to overdraft his potential and finally managed to make up for the gap in strength between him and Lin Buzheng.
However, it was obvious that Heavenly King Wu could not maintain this state for long. As time went on, he would inevitably fall back.
Moreover, because he had overdrafted his physical strength, his condition would be even worse when his strength fell back. In fact, Lin Buzheng would not even need to use his ultimate move for him to naturally lose.
In other words, if Heavenly King Wu wanted to defeat Lin Buzheng, this was his only chance. If he missed this opportunity, he would have no chance of winning and would definitely lose!
"I'll kill you in ten moves!"
Heavenly King Wu roared angrily. Before he finished speaking, golden inner Yuan gathered behind him. In the blink of an eye, it condensed into a totem hundreds of feet tall.
It was shaped like a crow. Its wings were spread wide, and it had three legs. Its entire body was burning with inextinguishable golden flames.
It was the legendary divine bird of the sun, the Three-legged Golden Crow!
Rumble!
As Heavenly King Wu used the Three-legged Golden Crow, his aura suddenly soared again. He finally surpassed Lin Buzheng for the first time.
At this moment, Heavenly King Wu gave off the feeling that his entire body was burning. His entire body was emitting endless light and heat. It was as if he could turn the entire Hundred Battles Small World into ashes!
"Ten moves?"
"There's no need for so many moves. I can defeat you in three moves!"
However, when Lin Buzheng saw this scene, his expression was indifferent. There was not the slightest change in his emotions.
His aura also soared. In the blink of an eye, it had caught up to Heavenly King Wu's aura and was not the slightest bit weaker.
He had a relaxed expression and looked like he still had strength to spare. He was not in a hurry to attack. It was obvious that he wanted to wait for Heavenly King Wu to reach his strongest state before attacking and defeating him.
"Arrogant!"
Heavenly King Wu had clearly seen through Lin Buzheng's thoughts. He shouted. Before he finished speaking, the golden flames around him danced wildly and manifested countless scenes.
There were stone houses, palaces, spirit pools, immortal tombs, spirit trees, perilous peaks, true dragons, phoenixes, and even immortals … Everything in the world was included.
