Chapter 1257: Evenly Matched
Ling Xiao Immortal told Sheng Tianzi that Sun Wukong was a lucky latecomer who gained good strength relying on his own luck.
Sheng Tianzi originally believed this deeply, but now after personally battling Sun Wukong, he realized that Sun Wukong was far more than just some fortunate successor!
Relying solely on luck may be temporarily successful, but it is absolutely impossible to attain such extraordinary combat power!
This is battle power refined through thousands of trials, not something that mere supreme divine powers can achieve!
"Damn Ling Xiao Immortal, you really got me into trouble!"
Sheng Tianzi cursed inwardly but had to muster all his focus to deal with Sun Wukong's attacks.
After all, emerging from a sea of corpses and blood, he quickly calmed down after the initial confusion, his spear shaking and releasing powerful gun rays to intercept the shadow of the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod.
Between them, spear and rod clashed fiercely, circles of power ripples spreading out to all directions, stirring up the void.
The Destiny Star Cloud was shaken continuously by the power of their exchange, terrifying sounds transmitted to the outside world.
Experts from all sides watching outside the Destiny Star Cloud had their expressions changed.
"Such strong power fluctuations, this is just too frightening!"
"Oh my! Is this really a battle between the Golden Divine Realm? Even Saint Divine Realm experts aren't this exaggerated, right?"
"Feeling such strong power shock waves even outside the Destiny Star Cloud, being inside it might reduce one to dust with just a single hit?"
"Sheng Tianzi, Great Sage Sun Wukong! These two are simply monsters! They're absolutely insane!"
The intense power shock waves spreading out from the Destiny Star Cloud forced experts from all sides to retreat to avoid being affected and injured.
They gained new insights into the strength of Sun Wukong and Sheng Tianzi.
Especially Sun Wukong!
Initially, they thought it would be a one-sided battle, that with Sheng Tianzi's power, taking down Sun Wukong would be an easy task.
But now it seems clear that the two are evenly matched!
Otherwise, how could they send out such power shock waves?
Indeed, it's a time of great contention, one heroic figure after another!
After this battle, the survivor will truly be the hero among heroes, with fame shaking the entire Han Hai Realm!
Even those Saint Divine Realm experts would treat Sun Wukong and Sheng Tianzi as equals!
Boom!
Boom boom!
The fierce impact echoed continuously within the Destiny Star Cloud, as Sun Wukong and Sheng Tianzi turned into two streaks of light, clashing back and forth at lightning speed.
The overwhelming power pushed the surrounding star clouds to retreat, turning their battlefield into a void zone.
After another intense collision, the two retreated, standing a hundred feet apart in the void, quietly watching each other.
"Sun Wukong, I must admit, I underestimated you!"
Sheng Tianzi looked sinisterly at Sun Wukong; over the years, he had faced many opponents, but none had ever exerted so much pressure on him as Sun Wukong.
"You're not bad either, it's my first time encountering an opponent like you."
Sun Wukong smiled lightly, eyes full of battle intent.
Indeed, Sheng Tianzi's strength was considerable, Sun Wukong felt he was even comparable to Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor!
Such an opponent is truly rare for Sun Wukong.
For him now, isolated practice has slow results, far less effective than a battle with an opponent like Sheng Tianzi.
As for the possibility of losing, it never crossed Sun Wukong's mind.
Without the belief of invincibility at the same level, how could one talk about reaching the pinnacle?
"Hmph! Stubborn guy! Do you really think you can compare with me? Just now I only unleashed seventy percent of my strength..."
"Is that so?"
Sun Wukong smacked his lips, "Well, I only unleashed fifty percent...
"Sharp-tongued fool! Die!"
Enraged, Sheng Tianzi's spear was enveloped in astonishing sharpness as he thrust it at Sun Wukong.
The entire void seemed pierced through, as if a supreme fierce beast from ancient times had shattered the void, displaying vicious brutality.
"Space-time Law! And there's a trace of darkness law..."
Purple-golden light flickered in Sun Wukong's eyes; in the blink of an eye, he had completed the analysis of the power of laws contained in Sheng Tianzi's attack.
Feeling the gravity of the situation, Sun Wukong didn't dare delay, his Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod extend, seemingly slow but fast, directly colliding with Sheng Tianzi's spear tip.
With a light sound, time seemed to freeze at that moment, and then a spacetime black hole appeared at the collision point, suddenly expanding.
The two, feeling like they were struck by lightning, hurriedly retreated as fast as possible away from the center of the black hole expansion.
"What a strong opponent! Today's battle will be tough!"
Both simultaneously reached the same conclusion in their hearts, looking at each other with solemn expressions.
The spacetime stability of the Han Hai Realm is extremely high; even battles of Saint Divine Realm experts find it hard to damage it, yet Sun Wukong and Sheng Tianzi's strike tore open spacetime!
Fortunately, both retreated quickly; otherwise, if caught, they might be dragged into some unknown spacetime!
Even potentially ground to dust by the tumultuous spacetime turbulence inside the black hole, disappearing forever!
"Hmph!"
Both snorted coldly, each wielding their weapon and charging at each other again, reigniting the fierce battle.
Yet both deliberately avoided the area where the spacetime black hole had appeared.
With the spacetime stability of the Han Hai Realm, the black hole may appear but without continued support, it will eventually restore itself.
During this time, the black hole and its surroundings are extremely vulnerable, a bit of external force could expand it again.
Once the spacetime black hole reaches a certain size, it can no longer recover on its own.
Then the disaster created would surely be of destruction level!
Their purpose is to defeat each other, not obliterate everything, so naturally, they wouldn't fight near the black hole.
After several clashes, they were already far from the vicinity of the black hole, their attacks seemed fast and direct, yet the dangers secreted were clear only to them!
These contained their individual understanding of Heavenly Dao Laws, and being caught in the attack would severely damage both physical body and divine soul!
