Chapter 553: Chapter 400: Battle of the Two Heroes, Ascending to the Top!” (Books can be nurtured)

This time, Chen Yuan triumphed in three battles, and his momentum had peaked, consolidating an invincible stance. Although his aura was somewhat wilted, it did not detract from his grandeur.

His overall state had completely soared to its highest.

And this was his goal.

To suppress Zuo Chengzong with an invincible stance and firmly secure the top position on the Hidden Dragon List.

His current situation was perilous, having offended a True Master of the Gu Family and simultaneously facing joint elimination by the Qingyun Sword Sect and the Yun Family. His only reliance was the Taoist Divine Palace.

But all this rested on one premise, Chen Yuan reaching the top, seizing the Ascending Immortal Fruit.

Only then would he be valuable enough for the people of the Taoist Divine Palace to help him dissolve this grudge.

The number one spot on the Hidden Dragon List was critical, any error now and he could likely be killed, so he had to strategize early.

Consolidating an invincible stance was a crucial part of this.

Facing Zuo Chengzong, who had dominated the rankings for many years, Chen Yuan did not underestimate him and knew he had to give his all; otherwise, with Zuo’s tactics, the outcome of who would win or lose was still unknown.

After all, Chen Yuan’s cultivation had only recently reached the Reach Profound Peak, but Zuo Chengzong was not the same—his cultivation had attained Perfection long ago.

He had been suppressing his cultivation merely for this battle of Ascension.

This fight would be the most formidable one he had ever faced at this realm!

“Brother Zuo, we stand side by side at the top, let us now decide who truly surpasses the other,” Chen Yuan said solemnly.

The Martial Artists below buzzed with excitement.

Previous skirmishes had already treated them to great spectacles, and now with the Hidden Dragons settling their rivalry, how could they not be extraordinarily thrilled?

This Ascension Battle was hailed as the strongest in a century precisely because Chen Yuan and Zuo Chengzong were honored as the Two Hidden Dragons, and many were here with that very goal in mind.

“Fellow sect members, who do you think will emerge victorious and ultimately claim the top spot?”

Someone spoke up.

Upon hearing this, multiple voices immediately responded from around.

“In my humble opinion, Chen Yuan is destined to win for two reasons: first, his cultivation is profound and his strength extraordinary, his experiences alone are the stuff of legends—how could he not create another miracle this time?

Second, having won three battles, he has already amassed an unstoppable momentum; even figures like Wei Wuya and Xuanming have become mere stepping stones under his feet; Zuo Chengzong will be no exception.”

“Heh, I disagree,” said another. “Zuo Chengzong’s fame has long been established, born with a thunderous heart, his mastery of the Five Thunders Righteous Skill has reached an impeccable state of perfection,

having been nurtured from a young age by an expert from Wudang Mountain, his strength is naturally superior.”

“Indeed.”

“Like the fellow before me, I too believe Chen Yuan has a greater chance at victory.”

“I disagree.”

“I…”

The surrounding Martial Artists ignited a wave of debate, each expressing their views.

Shangguan Hong watched Chen Yuan with sparkling eyes, filled with respect.

Zhang Xuan and Shangguan Yu exchanged glances and smiled; having witnessed several battles, they now held strong confidence in Chen Yuan, believing he could indeed defeat Zuo Chengzong.

Song Zhilun stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes sweeping over Chen Yuan and Zuo Chengzong, his gaze flickering, pondering something unknown; City Lord Fang Hongtai of the Ascending Immortal Tower also straightened up at this moment.

At his level, watching battles of the Lower Three Realms was like watching children fight; however, Chen Yuan and Zuo Chengzong were exceptions. This century’s most astonishing Reach Profound battle also warranted his close attention.

Atop Immortal Mountain, the void gently fluctuated; Ye Xiangnan, the city master of Martial Emperor City, slowly appeared, his gaze fixed on Chen Yuan and Zuo Chengzong, eyeing them somewhat critically.

And in the space enshrouded by immortal mist at the summit, the mist also began to stir slowly.

The dynamics in the arena changed, and everyone’s gaze focused on Chen Yuan and Zuo Chengzong.

In the crowd, a seemingly ordinary woman, her eyes flickering with sharpness, a palpable aura began to slowly radiate within three meters around her; with a flash of light in her hand,

A primitive Jade Mirror appeared, indeed the Heavenly Book.

And she was none other than Su Ziyue, the Daoist who had concealed her cultivation and identity.

At this moment, a thought slowly transmitted into the Heavenly Book:

“Everyone, Chen Yuan is about to duel Zuo Chengzong!”

“Cast this image into the Heavenly Book.”

A deep male voice responded.

“Okay.”

In the void, upon a cushion, hearing Chen Yuan’s challenge, Zuo Chengzong slowly stood up, smiled, and said:

“Okay!”

His words fell, and thunder rumbled through the void, as if welcoming Zuo Chengzong.

Initialy, he indeed did not know Chen Yuan’s intentions, but after the latter had defeated Wei Wuya and turned his sights to Xuanming and Dao Xuansheng,

he had roughly figured out Chen Yuan’s plans.

But he did not mind, even hoped that Chen Yuan was stronger.

Moreover, he had also been amassing momentum, now with a movement of his body, thunder enveloped him.

In front of Zuo Chengzong, Chen Yuan placed the Blood Bodhi into his mouth, his eyes gleaming with fighting spirit, his aura reached its peak, and surged upwards dramatically, surpassing his earlier state.

In the void, due to the disturbance of the aura, a thousand-meter radius began to gather dark clouds.

It was like the end of the world.

Zuo Chengzong’s gaze remained calm, surrounded by thunderous light, merging faintly with the thunder Above the Nine Heavens, he softly said:

“Brother Chen, please!”

“Brother Zuo, please!”

Both their auras burst forth instantaneously, and they began to covertly clash; black robes fluttered, Zuo Chengzong’s Daoist robe, under this surge of aura, also billowed noisily.
