This was Yang Qi's home ground. The glorious moment was naturally reserved for him.
Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals. The group members dealt with the miscellaneous Saint-Grade soldiers, while Yang Qi directly faced The Crown Prince.
"Yang Qi, very good. Let me destroy you!" The Crown Prince, unable to suppress his emotions, suddenly moved. In an instant, winds and clouds surged, and thousands of enormous sword Qis shone between heaven and earth, rushing into Yang Qi's Pure Land of the Gods.
"Immortal-Slaying Halberd!" he shouted, tearing the void with his large hand and pulling out a Fangtian Halberd from an alternate dimension. The halberd emitted an extremely powerful, profound, and world-shaking aura.
He knew Yang Qi's strength was extraordinary, so he dared not be careless. The halberd was stained with the blood of terrifying existences like gigantic dragons and phoenixes.
The Crown Prince lightly swiped, directly breaking through the holy light surrounding Yang Qi and plunging into the Pure Land of the Gods.
"Golden Great Mace!" Seeing this, a strong battle intent flashed across Yang Qi's face. He grabbed, and a colossal golden mace appeared in his grasp. With a single strike, ten thousand layers of golden mountains and surging waves swept towards The Crown Prince.
"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes. Once you enter my Pure Land of the Gods, even if you are a god, you must die!"
The two divine weapons collided. At the same time, a large holy light hand appeared behind Yang Qi, holding a long spear. Lightning raged, and the power of Hell appeared, with illusions of various Hell planes charging straight towards The Crown Prince. This was Yang Qi's Nethergod Spear.
"Immortal-Slaying Reincarnation, Heavenly Dao is Impermanent!" The Crown Prince's eyes were like knives. The Fangtian Halberd in his hand leaped, drawing a trajectory as ingenious as the movement of stars, breaking through the golden mace while also blocking the Nethergod Spear.
"Alchemical Hell!" Yang Qi roared. An enormous space-time wormhole appeared above his head, and countless golden devil heads fell into the golden mace. Its power instantly doubled, shattering heaven and earth.
The two immediately engaged in a fierce battle. The Crown Prince's expression turned serious as he delivered a continuous barrage of attacks like a storm. Even he had not expected Yang Qi's battle intent to be so powerful.
The Pure Land of the Gods was too unfair. Even he, who had condensed an Immortal Domain, was constrained within it. In his eyes, Yang Qi was merely an ant-like character back then, but now he had become an ancient dragon. If I had known this, I should have killed him at all costs during the martial arts competition!
Watching Yang Qi grow stronger, The Crown Prince knew he could not drag this out. Therefore, he erupted.
"Yang Qi, you are nothing but a lowly ant! Do you truly believe your six-transformation Legendary Realm can contend with my Saint-Grade Realm? I am a Heavenly God descended from a higher plane!"
The Fangtian Halberd in his hand swung, unleashing a massive formation diagram. A destructive aura permeated the air. At its very center, a huge eye appeared: the Eye of Heavenly Retribution. This was a long-lost ancient supreme art, Heavenly Retribution Divine Punishment.
It triggered a Heavenly Tribulation high above, which descended with an unimaginably terrifying aura. Amidst the rumbling, Yang Qi's Pure Land of the Gods began to crack.
However, at this moment, Yang Qi's expression was calm. Four huge True Qi arms suddenly condensed behind him, each thousands of feet long. One held the golden mace, one the Great Emperor Pagoda, one the Nethergod Spear, and another the Immortal Dao Giant Cauldron.
His hands became free. He flew up, the Robe of the Gods and Wings of Angels condensing on him. He did not dodge, directly charging into the Eye of Heavenly Retribution.
"Even the heavens were created by the gods. How dare this be called punishment? I am the King of the Gods. Who dares to punish me?" His lines were as chuunibyou and domineering as ever.
The Fist of Heaven, carrying an incredibly intense aura, fiercely struck the great formation. The eye representing Heavenly Punishment instantly cracked open.
"Die!" Yang Qi was like an unstoppable force, charging straight towards The Crown Prince.
Upon seeing this, the killing intent in The Crown Prince's eyes intensified. A suit of armor with runes inscribed by immortals suddenly appeared on his body. This was an Immortal Armor, one of his trump cards. After donning it, he was like a tiger with wings, his strength doubled.
"To force me to such an extent, I have to admit, you are indeed a formidable individual. But this is as far as it goes."
"Immortal Mark, come forth!" he roared. The immortal marks on his armor began to swim like small tadpoles, moving onto his face, hands, and weapon.
At this moment, The Crown Prince's aura suddenly surged. The Fangtian Halberd pierced straight into the Pure Land of the Gods, breaching it. He strode in and, like lightning, swept the halberd directly towards Yang Qi's head, intending to behead him.
"Pure Land of the Gods. If anyone disrespects it, they shall suffer the punishment of the gods." Yang Qi stood at the core, without the slightest hint of fear.
This was the land protected by the gods, representing an absolute defense. Although The Crown Prince broke through it with the immortal marks, he also offended the gods and would incur a backlash.
From the crystal wall of the Pure Land, a great torrent of black water surged forth, engulfing the entire domain. This was soul-devouring, bone-eroding water that could destroy all living beings. It was Yamafu-ti Tribulation Water.
If a Saint-Grade expert touched this water, their flesh and bones would instantly dissolve.
"How can the Yamafu-ti Tribulation Water be in your domain?" The Crown Prince was completely enveloped by his Immortal Armor, floating in the water. The tribulation water completely suppressed the power of his armor.
"Heaven, Earth, Ghosts, and Gods, gather on my body! Ghost and God Transformation!" he roared, and an even more terrifying aura erupted from him. He was impacting the realm of Ghost and God Transformation, the seventh transformation of the Legendary Realm.
For normal people, undergoing tribulation was extremely dangerous. But Yang Qi was not a normal person. He was undergoing tribulation while fighting, and his aura only grew more terrifying. Within the Domain of the Gods, one ghost and god after another condensed.
Upon feeling this, The Crown Prince felt fear and began to prepare to retreat.
"The Crown Prince, do you want to leave?" Yang Qi stepped on the tribulation water, the fire of his tribulation burning around him, his entire being like a Heavenly God.
Fist of Heaven.
He strode forward, cutting off The Crown Prince's retreat and charging directly towards him.
"I have Immortal Armor protecting me! So what if you break through to the Ghost and God Realm?" Seeing him charge, The Crown Prince refused to be outdone and stabbed his halberd towards Yang Qi's heart.
Countless holy lights collided with it. A red light erupted from Yang Qi's fist, mixed with the holy light of the Fist of Heaven, causing the halberd to spark. Even its trajectory shifted. In terms of power, Yang Qi had won.
"Kill!" Taking the opportunity, Yang Qi roared, his voice majestic as his fists attacked continuously. Divine Fist of Heaven! Every punch carried the divine might of creating heaven and earth.
His aura became increasingly terrifying as his body suddenly grew a circle taller and more robust. He had indeed directly broken through to the Ghost and God Transformation stage. Legendary, Seventh Transformation.
The Crown Prince was beaten back repeatedly.
"Heaven on Earth!" After breaking through, Yang Qi unleashed another powerful punch. This punch caused mountains to collapse and stars to fall. He was even more powerless to resist. He was forced back repeatedly, and the operation of the Immortal Armor on his body even paused for a moment.
"Wings of the Starry Sky, Interstellar Storm, destroy everything for me!" he roared, activating another trump card. A brilliant starlight appeared behind him, and broad wings unfurled. It was a rare ancient supreme art that, once unleashed, could summon an interstellar storm.
He knew ordinary methods would not be enough.
