Chapter 1059: Chapter 296: Surely the Foremost in the Human World (10,000-word Thank you Note to Book Friends)_6

But for the opponents in battle, what was terrifying was that this powerful lifesaving divine skill... could be used more than once!

Even Bao Bozhao, merely witnessing this scene, was so astounded—imagine what Chao Yu, who directly faced Zhongxuan Zun, must have felt.

In fact, facing Chao Yu’s cut, which was not as formidable as before, Zhongxuan Zun did not need to use his lifesaving divine skill again.

He did so...

Of course, because he wanted to resolve his opponent in the shortest amount of time!

For many, it was already a fight breathtaking enough.

For him... the battle had dragged on too long!

When the line shattered, Zhongxuan Zun had already reached out and grabbed the sun disk.

Under the influence of the No Light Ability, the sun disk had also lost its radiance.

It was now a pitch-black, disk-shaped object, deprived of infinite light and The Evil Suppressing Power, almost perfectly restrained by the No Light Ability... but that did not affect its heft and solidity.

Bang!

The sun disk smashed onto Chao Yu’s forehead once again, sending her sprawling facedown on the ground.

This time, she had no extra strength to resist.

Her helpless body cracked the stone slabs of the ground.

Zhongxuan Zun had held back, otherwise that strike would have killed her—there was no need to kill in such a martial confrontation, and with so many powerful spectators around, it would not have been allowed for a heaven’s chosen to be slain.

Although she did not die, the self-esteem of a strong cultivator would not permit Chao Yu to continue in the fight.

So now, only Bao Bozhao remained.

Zhongxuan Zun turned around, and although he could not see clearly, he still stood opposed to Bao Bozhao.

Under the envelopment of the No Light Ability, many on the high platforms on both sides could not see the true state of the combat within the arena.

But Jiang Wang, who quietly held the Red Mirror, "saw" the entire battle clearly.

Looking at the handsome man in white, standing opposite Bao Bozhao, who had a Heavenly Eye on his forehead.

Jiang Wang couldn’t help asking himself, was this the cultivator of Tianfu from the Inner Mansion Realm, Zhongxuan Zun he had intended to challenge?

If he released everything, combining the Voice Broadcast Immortal Style with the Astray Path, might there be a chance to win?

He also observed through the Red Mirror that Lei Zhanqian already had lightning in hand, apparently feeling very insecure under the influence of the No Light Ability.

And that Cui Zhu, still stood there coldly, unmoved, as if he could adapt to this lightless environment.

As for Ji Zhaonan... he still maintained a relaxed posture.

Jiang Wang raised his assessment of Cui Zhu in his heart once more, increasing his respect.

And the battle on the field... continued.

Even after Xie Baoshu and Chao Yu were consecutively defeated, Bao Bozhao’s fighting spirit was still unyielding.

He even launched an attack the moment Chao Yu fell!

From the beginning of the fight until now, in life-or-death struggle, Zhongxuan Zun certainly had the upper hand, and he, Bao Bozhao, was still unscathed.

Zhongxuan Zun had clearly avoided engagement with him. He must understand his strength. This was the respect between the powerful.

This was their ultimate showdown.

And Bao Bozhao’s real trump card was that he had already seen through what Zhongxuan Zun was relying on to move freely in the absence of light.

So...

Between his brows, his vertical pupil, the Heavenly Eye, opened wide!

The golden radiance of the Divine Punishment Light was dim in the realm of no light.

But its potency had not diminished in the slightest!

At the same time, Zhongxuan Zun could not see his attack immediately, merely sensing it through the feedback of the Zhong Xuan Ability—he could not possibly avoid the Divine Punishment Light!

In Bao Bozhao’s vision, he saw clearly that Zhongxuan Zun’s figure only violently moved as the Divine Punishment Light approached—too late to evade!

Another jewel-like object dissipated, again vanishing beautifully, leaving Zhongxuan Zun unharmed.

This was the third time... this was Zhongxuan Zun’s lifesaving divine skill at work for the third time.

Zhongxuan Zun took a step and leapt into the air, closing the distance with Bao Bozhao at a terrifying speed.

Bao Bozhao blinked his vertical pupil, and the Divine Punishment Light lashed out again.

Deprived of sight, even with Zhongxuan Zun’s astonishing speed, he could not mislead his judgment.

The Divine Punishment Light once more struck the target precisely.

Snap.

Just like before, another jewel-like object dissipated, protecting Zhongxuan Zun from the lethal harm.

How could there be any left!?

This was the fourth time!

Could it be that this divine skill could be used infinitely? How could such a divine skill possibly exist in the world!

There must be a limit.

Bao Bozhao was convinced that the lifesaving Divine Skills must have their limits, still, he couldn’t suppress the irritation welling up inside him. As a result, his next Divine Punishment Light... missed its mark!

It should not be this way! The battle isn’t over!

In the distant western expanse of the Star Vault, a star flickered.

Suddenly, from within the Star Sea, a little bell leaped out and gave a gentle shake!

Ding!

This bell was not a Magic Artifact; it was a warning bell imbued with the character of "kill"!

Bao Bozhao studied both Confucianism and commerce, but when establishing the Star Tower, he based it on Confucian principles, adopting the Azure Dragon’s "trust," Vermilion’s "virtue," Black Tortoise’s "benevolence," and White Tiger’s "kill."

These four characters "trust, virtue, benevolence, kill," were, in a sense, his guiding principles.

In theory, the Star Sea is divided into four directions, corresponding to the four limbs, but the relationship is not exactly one-to-one. The limbs are on either side of the torso, whereas the Star Sea is in fact mixed in one place.

Bao Bozhao rang the alarm bell in his heart to maintain his composure and sustain his peak state.

As the bell sounded, all the irritability, worry, and fear of gain and loss dissipated without a trace.

Bao Bozhao’s mind became clear, and he accurately locked onto the fast-moving Zhongxuan Zun. His Heavenly Eye between the brows opened wide, and the Divine Punishment Light was released again!

Once more... once more he saw that jewel-like object disappear.

Zhongxuan Zun evaded the nearly fatal blow for the fifth time!

Bao Bozhao felt as if his Heavenly Eye was about to split, knowing he was close to his limit, but the echo of the alarm bell still allowed him to stay composed and attempt to lock on again.

But then, an endless, crushing pressure suddenly rolled over his entire body.

It was the Zhong Xuan Ability!

Bao Bozhao reacted with incredible speed, immediately bolstering his mountain-moving strength to resist the terrifying force, but a white shadow had already flashed before his eyes!

Zhongxuan Zun had arrived!

In the roaring wind, the sun wheel smashed head-on.

Boom! It was like the sound of thunder.

Snap!

The mountain-moving whip lashed out explosively with a crack, bringing with it the illusion of mountains as it struck at his opponent. Bao Bozhao couldn’t dodge in time, but he refused to submit easily and decided to exchange blow for blow.

Bang!

The two figures collided instantly.

Bao Bozhao was thrown backward, blood spraying!

In that extremely brief moment.

Zhongxuan Zun manipulated gravity and repulsion hundreds of times, successfully delaying Bao Bozhao’s mountain-moving whip and speeding up his own sun wheel.

The result was that the sun wheel crashed down on his opponent’s forehead, while Bao Bozhao’s mountain-moving whip swiped at thin air!

Zhongxuan Zun stepped on the fallen Bao Bozhao, pinning him to the ground, shattering all resistance, and then he loosened his grip!

The sun wheel expanded rapidly and crashed down violently!

From the looks of it, he intended to smash Bao Bozhao into a pulp.

"The victor is decided!" a voice outside the fight shouted.

This voice unveiled the lightless "night"...

It was the voice of Great Qi Country’s State Minister, Jiang Rumo.

...

...

...
