Supreme Battle King

Zhuhe Qianlong had obtained the number one expert in the universe, Fortune Heavenly Master's inheritance, and the Supreme Divine Artifact. The Sword of Creation had created an invincible sword technique, the ultimate Sword Dao. Initially, he thought that he could defeat Chiang Zhan and prove that he was the most powerful existence among his peers.    

Unfortunately, things went against his wishes. Not only did Zhuhe Qianlong fail to defeat Chiang Zhan, he even suffered a crushing defeat.    

If it was an ordinary person, they would definitely be dispirited and in despair after suffering such a heavy blow. However, the invincible belief in Zhuhe Qianlong's heart was as firm as a rock and unshakable.    

He even burned his life force desperately, wanting to compete with Chiang Zhan once again.    

Bang!    

Incomparably powerful combat intent was unleashed from Zhuhe Qianlong's body. It was like a beacon of fire and smoke, piercing through the heaven and earth, and breaking through the firmament.    

A terrifying energy was like a surging wave. It flowed along Zhuhe Qianlong's hands and poured into the Sword of Destinies. Instantly, the crystal clear sword edge emitted a bright and blazing light, illuminating the entire Ninth Heaven.    

Immediately, a fierce and vast sword aura pierced through the space and covered the entire area. It was so powerful that even the wind and rain couldn't penetrate it.    

Chiang Zhan frowned when he saw this scene. There was no doubt about Zhuhe Qianlong's strength. He was extremely powerful, definitely not inferior to ___. However, ___ had increased his strength by burning his life force. This was equivalent to self-destruction. There was a huge drawback to this fighting style. If he continued to fight, this peerless monster would most likely run out of fuel. He would die of old age.    

In addition, although Zhuhe Qianlong's physique was extremely powerful, far surpassing that of an ordinary body refining expert, and could even be compared to an ancient divine beast, it was still inferior to Chiang Zhan's substandard divine weapon physique.    

This was also one of the reasons why Zhuhe Qianlong was defeated.    

Under normal circumstances, since Zhuhe Qianlong wanted to fight to the death, Chiang Zhan should accompany him to the end. However, in his heart, although Zhuhe Qianlong was the opponent he feared the most, he was also his most respected friend.    

Therefore, Chiang Zhan only wanted to defeat Zhuhe Qianlong, but he didn't want to kill him. He was even more unwilling to perish together with this strongest genius of his generation, who was also his enemy and friend.    

That's right. Chiang Zhan had defeated Zhuhe Qianlong with great strength. He had ascended to the peak, and his might had shaken the world. However, the battle lasted for three days and three nights, no matter if it was his own strength. Widow Hua, Feng Yu, and the other Quasi-god Stage Expert were not at their peak condition. If he and Zhuhe Qianlong were to fight to the death at this moment, both of them would suffer great losses. They might even perish together.    

Chiang Zhan couldn't be bothered to continue this meaningless battle.    

"Brother Zhuge, if I'm not mistaken, you have used up at least 100 million years of your life in the battle just now. Besides, you seem to have reached a limit. If you continue to fight, you will hurt your origin force. Under such circumstances, I advise you not to be rash. Otherwise, it will be too late to regret. Of course, if you are confident enough to turn defeat into victory, then I am willing to give you this chance. "    

While his mind was thinking, Chiang Zhan smiled coldly. His voice, which sounded like the sound of a sword being unsheathed, resounded in everyone's ears. Immediately, everyone in Divine Court Conquering Army and War King Forbidden Land Army felt a cold chill rising from underneath their feet.    

* Hong...... *    

In the next moment, Chiang Zhan took a step forward. The wind and clouds were surging, and the heaven and earth were trembling. His tall and mighty figure was like an Ancient Divine Mountain, and he was filled with a suffocating pressure.    

Behind Chiang Zhan, Chaos Devil Ancestor's remnant soul, Nether King Essence Spirit, Prehistoric Ancestral Dragon Yuan Spirit... Great Sun Buddha King's soul, Desolate Beast's demon soul... Five of them were above the heavens. Invincible Sovereign, who had dominated the Ancient Prehistoric Times, was emitting an unparalleled aura. They were the rulers of the world, looking down on everything beneath their feet.    

Everyone felt the pressure of the universe. Their hearts trembled and their souls trembled. They looked at Chiang Zhan's tall and straight figure with endless respect.    

He was a peerless genius, and his strength was unparalleled. Across the entire Ninth Heaven, there was no one who could compare with him.    

Zhuhe Qianlong fell into silence after hearing this. Although he wanted to fight with his life on the line, the intense battle just now had consumed more than a hundred million years of his life. This was definitely a fatal injury to an Eternal Stage warrior.    

After all, Eternal Stage warriors were known to have the same life as heaven and earth, and the sun and moon were the same. In fact, they only had a lifespan of one era, which was 1296 million years. Losing 100 million years of their life was equivalent to one-twelfth of their life.    

In other words, Zhuhe Qianlong could continue fighting like this for eleven more times. After that, he would die eternally because of the exhaustion of his lifespan.    

Besides that, Zhuhe Qianlong had burned his life force desperately just now, trying to turn the tide of the battle. Although he had defeated Chiang Zhan, his huge life force was still burning. His strength had once again increased at an insane rate, but unfortunately, he couldn't reach the invincible Heavenly God Stage. He even had his own soul, body, and soul... * Hong Long...... *    

This indicated that Zhuhe Qianlong had indeed reached his limit and could no longer recover to his peak state.    

In fact, Zhuhe Qianlong had encountered such a thing before. It was during his journey to the Ninth Heaven that he had defeated many Half-step to Heaven Defying Stage warriors in a row. After reaching the Eternal Stage, due to his lack of lifespan, he was unable to continue fighting. Otherwise, he would have already killed his way to the core of the universe - God Realm.
