Cold sweat was trickling down the Lone Silence Ancestor's forehead. Ever since he had reached the peak of the Saint Martial realm, the Lone Silence Ancestor had never encountered such a dangerous situation. The enemy was right in front of him, but he couldn't attack. But though his mind was extremely uneasy, the Lone Silence Ancestor would never doubt the Demonic Emperor Old Man's judgment.
Seconds went by, and with each moment, Wang Chong felt a suffocating pressure on his body, like he was standing on a tightrope.
Bang! The others could only watch as the divine and armored figure of the second-generation successor stomped forward. He soon brushed past the third-generation successor.
Wang Chong thought about having the third-generation stand in the second-generation's way, but just when the third-generation successor began to move, Wang Chong noticed the sword of the second-generation successor vibrate and immediately stopped.
Two feet!
The boundless high-level Stellar Energy of the Subtle realm forced its way into the Stellar Energy of the third-generation successor. Everyone broke out in cold sweat. Everything depended on Wang Chong now. If even the smallest thing went wrong, a fierce battle would ensue.
One foot!
The second-generation successor took another step forward, which took him right in front of Wang Chong. With less than one foot separating the two, the Wushang Village Chief, Lone Silence Ancestor, and Demonic Emperor Old Man felt their hearts leap to their throats. This was an extremely dangerous situation, and they were ready to immediately attack the moment Wang Chong gave the signal.
Even if they couldn't win, they didn't have time to worry about such things.
But to their surprise, Wang Chong remained motionless, not making a single gesture.
He's too powerful! He's already reached the middle stage of the Subtle realm!
Wang Chong felt a pressure like never before at this distance. Only when he faced the second-generation successor alone could he tell just how powerful he was.
Wang Chong felt like the second-generation's strength was a bottomless pit, and he could sense the energy of a higher dimension from his body.
This was the source of the Subtle realm's power.
If one wanted to surpass the peak of the Saint Martial realm and reach an even higher realm, one needed to break the barriers of space and reach that dimension of indescribable power. But doing this was incredibly difficult. Wang Chong had felt this energy once on the body of Arab War God Qutaybah, but the dimensional energy had been incredibly unstable that time. With the second-generation successor, however, this dimension was as firm as steel.
Wang Chong once more felt insignificant and completely outmatched.
Now is definitely not the time to fight with the second-generation successor!
As countless thoughts ran through his mind, Wang Chong sealed up all his pores and drew all his energy into his dantian, only allowing the Origin Immortal Stellar Energy in his body to spread throughout his limbs and cover his skin.
Suddenly, the first layer of the Origin Immortal Art he had obtained from the third-generation successor appeared in his mind. Wang Chong had a flash of insight and began to comprehend the mantra while circulating his energy in the method outlined by the Origin Immortal Art.
Time seemed to stop.
Meanwhile, the second-generation successor continued to stare at Wang Chong, the doubt in his eyes increasing and his eyes growing brighter. He slowly raised his sword, intent on stabbing it at Wang Chong.
”Not good!”
The Demonic Emperor Old Man and the Wushang Village Chief grimaced. If this continued, even if the second-generation successor didn't sense their energy, Wang Chong would be left heavily injured or dead.
”Village Chief, prepare to strike!” The Demonic Emperor Old Man sent his thoughts into the Wushang Village Chief's mind as he readied himself.
A battle seemed imminent, but suddenly…
Buzz!
Wang Chong's body trembled and all his pores opened. Faint streams of Origin Immortal Stellar Energy began to rise from Wang Chong's body.
It was an extremely immature energy, completely different to the energies of the second-generation and third-generation successors, but it was undoubtedly the energy of the Origin Immortal Art.
”How could this be?!”
No one was more shocked than the Lone Silence Ancestor. Before moving out, Wang Chong had given each of them a stream of Origin Immortal Stellar Energy, but that energy was completely different from the one Wang Chong now exuded.
No matter how pure it was, a borrowed Origin Immortal Stellar Energy was still fake. A lack of caution could lead to the second-generation successor's finding out and subsequently killing them. But Wang Chong's Stellar Energy, while weak, was clearly something he had cultivated on his own.
In essence, it was identical to the energies of the two successors.
Buzz!
The second-generation successor's sword suddenly froze and confusion appeared in his bright eyes. It seemed like he had encountered some incomprehensible question.
Silence!
