A colossal purple sun hung in the sky, its divine flames blazing, with countless strands of purple qi veiling the heavens.
“The Heavenly Monarch is invincible, shattering all myths!” Many voices cried out as they gazed upon the celestial purple sun.
Among them were numerous young women, including noble maidens from prestigious clans, all shouting excitedly for the Purple Sun Heavenly Monarch.
Meanwhile, some men, like Wu Tai, wore cold smirks as they watched Shi Hao in the arena, eagerly anticipating his downfall.
Having suffered a crushing defeat in the Boundary Tomb and losing his azure armor to Shi Hao, Wu Tai had nursed his hatred ever since, thirsting for vengeance.
The page shrieked, “My lord, you must suppress him! What is this ‘Huang,’ this so-called undefeated myth? Before your might, he is nothing but a dead man!”
The Golden-Horned Rhinoceros widened its eyes, golden pupils gleaming with eerie light. It trembled with excitement, knowing that if the Purple Sun Heavenly Monarch subdued Shi Hao, it would be safe. It, too, let out a low growl.
The scene was chaotic, the place alive with energy as countless experts gathered.
The purple sun moved slowly, halting not far from Shi Hao. Within it, a blurred figure exuded overwhelming divine majesty!
The Primordial Purple Qi Seed—renowned as the invincible treasure of the Immortal Ancient Era!
Throughout history, those who merged with this seed became some of the strongest warriors across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Legends of its power were countless!
All eyes were fixed upon the celestial sun, reverence and awe filling their hearts.
The Purple Sun Heavenly Monarch stood as the center of attention, his indistinct form resembling a peerless immortal, unrivaled under the heavens. The purple sun around him blazed with terrifying radiance, growing ever more intense.
Some trembled, unable to resist the urge to prostrate themselves.
The purple auspicious light rippled outward like waves, causing even the mightiest to shudder, their souls trembling in fear.
On the other side, Shi Hao remained calm, his robes fluttering in the wind. He appeared thin, almost lonely, carrying an air of detachment—yet lacking the domineering aura expected of a conqueror.
Most eyes were locked onto the purple sun and the Heavenly Monarch. Few paid attention to Shi Hao, save for Cao Yusheng, Chang Gongyan, and the Little Rabbit.
For the gathered experts, the outcome was already decided. Today, Huang would fall. No matter his past glories, he would soon become a stepping stone for the Purple Sun Heavenly Monarch.
Some sighed in pity, lamenting the impending ruin of Huang’s illustrious name.
Others, like Wu Tai, the page, and the Golden-Horned Rhinoceros, smirked in anticipation of his humiliating defeat.
“Come, Huang. Let us battle at the Heavenly Deity Realm. Show me the strength you once boasted of—if it was ever real!” The Purple Sun Heavenly Monarch’s voice was icy, devoid of emotion, suffocating in its oppressive weight.
“Shi Hao!” Behind him, the Lunar Jade Rabbit, Cao Yusheng, and Feng Wu wore expressions of concern. Even at the Heavenly Deity level, the outcome was uncertain.
After all, his opponent had merged with a perfect seed, undergoing a complete evolution. Even suppressing his cultivation, his physical prowess remained unmatched.
“Don’t worry.” Shi Hao smiled at them before stepping forward to meet the purple sun.
The moment had finally arrived. Tension gripped the crowd, and some turned their gazes toward Shi Hao.
“He actually dares to face him?” someone from the Immortal Academy sneered, their tone mocking.
“Hah, he is Huang, after all—once the supreme youth sovereign. How could he retreat now? He’ll fight to the bitter end,” Wu Tai gloated, relishing the moment he had long awaited.
No one favored Shi Hao. Whether his enemies in the Immortal Academy or neutral observers, all believed the Purple Sun Heavenly Monarch, having merged with the Dao Seed, was invincible at any realm!
“How pitiful. Once glorious, now destined for a tragic end!” Even the timid Golden-Horned Rhinoceros spoke up, thrilled.
“Fear not. Once my lord strikes, none can resist. From this day forth, Huang shall fall from grace!” the page declared coldly.
**BOOM!**
A deafening tremor silenced the crowd as a surge of Dao essence swept through, chilling their hearts with unease.
The purple sun rotated slowly, as if it had existed for eons, descending from the depths of the cosmos into the mortal realm.
It was the Primordial Purple Qi—ancient beyond reckoning!
Now, it enveloped the Purple Sun Heavenly Monarch, carrying unfathomable Dao laws as it pressed down upon Shi Hao.
Auspicious qi surged, purple radiance flooding the heavens like roaring mountains and seas, the spectacle both awe-inspiring and terrifying.
Heavenly Deity-level power?
The onlookers shuddered. This surpassed even some sect masters! How could one resist? It was like facing an immortal’s wrath!
**THUD!**
Shi Hao moved. With a slow palm strike, the descending purple qi rippled violently, howling like wind and thunder.
The purple qi that sought to engulf him scattered, unable to touch his form!
The crowd stiffened. At the Heavenly Deity Realm, Huang truly possessed peerless grace. Could even the unrivaled Purple Sun Heavenly Monarch fail to subdue him?
“Had fate not intervened, our paths would never have crossed. But I’ve always wished to witness the height of your former glory,” the Purple Sun Heavenly Monarch declared.
His meaning was clear—without extraordinary circumstances, he would never deign to face Shi Hao at the sect master level, for the latter no longer qualified as his rival.
Now, restraining himself to the Heavenly Deity Realm, they barely shared a stage.
“You overestimate yourself,” Shi Hao replied calmly, offering no further rebuttal.
“Huang, unleash your full strength. Do not disappoint me!” the Purple Sun Heavenly Monarch roared, his voice like thunderclaps. Then, he lunged forward.
In an instant, the sun and moon dimmed, mountains and rivers lost their color. The heavens trembled as space itself shattered!
The Primordial Purple Qi sun cloaked him as he descended like a celestial emperor’s star, bearing matchless majesty and pressure.
**BOOM!**
Purple light drowned the world!
A terrifying aura surged like an ocean—an unstoppable force meant to crush all opposition!
All stood dumbfounded. Was this the Purple Sun Heavenly Monarch’s true power? At the Heavenly Deity Realm, he was already peerless. What heights would he reach unrestrained?
Below, Shi Hao’s figure was nearly buried under the purple qi. He seemed frail, delicate—almost pitiable.
Was this the end? The Purple Sun Heavenly Monarch’s might dwarfed even Shi Hao’s battle against the Nine Nether Hound years ago!
To Cao Yusheng, it seemed hopeless. The Lunar Jade Rabbit and Feng Wu paled, their worst fears confirmed—Shi Hao was likely doomed.
“I knew it! Huang is finished. My lord will crush him effortlessly!” the page crowed.
“Hah! Huang, see this? The Purple Sun Heavenly Monarch is many times stronger than you ever were!” Wu Tai laughed, exhilarated.
“Has it ended before it even began?” someone mocked.
The purple sun unleashed radiant divine beams, flooding the space below.
At first, all seemed still. But soon, unease crept in—why hadn’t the sun crushed its target?
Then, the silence broke. A slender figure beneath the sun formed a fist seal, striking with thunderous force against the purple orb.
The serene qi and purple light shattered, unable to hold!
**BOOM!**
A thunderclap tore through the void, shaking the heavens!
**THUD!**
The figure beneath the sun became clear—Shi Hao, still serene yet now exuding dominance. His unadorned fists, though unlit, struck with such force that the purple sun quivered, on the verge of collapse!
The crowd was stunned into silence.
What had happened? Moments ago, the Purple Sun Heavenly Monarch seemed unstoppable. Now, his sun was fracturing!
Those who had jeered fell quiet, cold dread gripping their hearts.
Even the page clamped his mouth shut, watching tensely. Wu Tai choked mid-laugh, his voice cut off. Others trembled.
Huang… was stronger than before!
At the same Heavenly Deity Realm, he had grown even mightier!
Hearts churned with complex emotions. This once-peerless sovereign—why had he not obtained an ancient seed?
While others advanced through treasures, Huang had not fallen behind. At the Heavenly Deity Realm, he remained unrivaled.
**THUD!**
Another earth-shaking impact! Shi Hao spread his arms like a Kunpeng’s wings, unleashing overwhelming pressure!
He sent the purple sun cracking, hurling it skyward.
**SWOOSH!**
The sun split into countless strands of purple qi, flooding the heavens before surging back into the Purple Sun Heavenly Monarch.
“We agreed not to use higher-realm power. These purple qi are a distraction—I retract them!” he declared.
Now, the qi receded, yet his true visage remained obscured by a radiant purple haze.
But his form was visible—tall, draped in violet hair, eyes like cold lightning. His bearing was domineering, a stark contrast to his earlier calm.
“Huang, come! Give me a worthy battle!” the Purple Sun Heavenly Monarch roared, charging back.
**BOOM!**
Lightning tangled, thunder roared. The battlefield crackled with terrifying energy.
The Purple Sun Heavenly Monarch moved like a thunderbolt, clashing with Shi Hao hundreds of times in an instant—a sight both awe-inspiring and horrifying!
**SHING!**
Cloaked in dazzling purple light, he streaked across the sky like a comet!
Behind him loomed a monstrous violet Qilin, its roar shaking the heavens, its mountainous form piercing the clouds.
The oppressive aura stole breaths away.
The crowd gasped—this was the Qilin Treasure Technique!
The Purple Sun Heavenly Monarch had opened with one of the Ten Fierce Techniques, showcasing his immense heritage. His Qilin Fist shook the world!
Shi Hao’s body erupted in light for the first time, transforming into a Kunpeng—meeting the Ten Fierce Technique with another.
**BOOM!**
A colossal roc spread its wings, tearing the sky asunder with a cry that shattered mountains and churned seas—unstoppable, overwhelming!
In this moment, Shi Hao stood like a demon sovereign, exuding invincible grandeur.
Fear gripped the onlookers. Huang was far more terrifying than imagined, his aura matching the Purple Sun Heavenly Monarch’s!
**ROAR—**
The Qilin howled, its gargantuan form dominating the heavens, purple light flooding the world.
**BOOM!**
Its massive claw swiped at the Kunpeng, space shattering beneath the impact, black fissures spiderwebbing across the sky.
The Kunpeng shrieked, soaring upward as if to pierce the cosmos.
Yet Shi Hao did not retreat. He met the strike head-on.
**THUD!**
Claws collided, void crumbling.
The mountainous Qilin bellowed, scattering clouds as thunder descended. It stood cold and merciless before lunging for the kill.
In an instant, the Kunpeng’s wings clashed, black and gold qi intertwining—yin and yang colliding, birthing chaos light.
**BAM!**
The Qilin was sent flying, blood gushing from its maw.
The Purple Sun Heavenly Monarch reeled, staggering back.
Shi Hao, now fully the Kunpeng, dove after him, their battle escalating to life-or-death intensity.
**”GROWL!”**
The Qilin and Kunpeng tangled in midair, blood spraying as space collapsed around them.
The battle reached white-hot ferocity, hundreds of exchanges in mere moments.
**SPLAT!**
The Qilin wailed as a horn was torn clean off by the Kunpeng’s talons, blood raining down.
Though formed of technique, the backlash struck the caster—the Purple Sun Heavenly Monarch’s brow split, blood streaming.
He stumbled back, disbelief flashing across his face.
He had been wounded—by Huang!
For one who believed himself peerless among the younger generation, this was unacceptable!
The spectators stood frozen. None had foreseen this—the Purple Sun Heavenly Monarch, bleeding from his brow.
**”ROAR!”**
A deafening cry erupted as the Purple Sun Heavenly Monarch’s body swelled, transforming into a divine bird—a violet phoenix, its feathers gleaming like mountain ranges, its presence boundless.
The crowd gasped.
“The True Phoenix Technique!”
This was one of the most revered divine abilities—who could stand against it?
In the minds of many, the True Dragon and Phoenix were invincible symbols of supremacy.
**BOOM!**
The violet phoenix’s emergence darkened the heavens, summoning thunder from the void.
Shi Hao remained the humanoid Kunpeng, now clashing with another avian overlord—Kunpeng versus Phoenix!
**SHING!**
They collided like lightning, erupting in blinding radiance.
Thunder roared, winds howled, and blood-colored waves surged as feathers rained down. The two avian monarchs fought savagely.
This was a battle of annihilation, brutal beyond measure.
**”SCREECH—”**
Though a phoenix, its cry was bestial, shaking onlookers to their cores. Some coughed blood from the shockwaves.
The phoenix expanded instantly, towering into the firmament as if reaching beyond the world. Then—it swallowed the Kunpeng whole!
The Kunpeng, already larger than mountains, vanished into its maw.
Such was the phoenix’s might—to devour and refine its foe!
The crowd watched, hearts pounding.
But before the page could cheer—**BOOM!**—the phoenix’s belly bulged, then exploded in a cataclysmic detonation!
Light erupted as a humanoid Kunpeng emerged—Shi Hao, his fist seals unstoppable, tearing through feathers and bone runes alike!
**BAM!**
With an invincible strike, he ripped free from the phoenix’s gut.
Though not the Purple Sun Heavenly Monarch’s true body, the backlash was severe. The phoenix shrank, revealing his form before he was sent flying!
**THUD!**
The Purple Sun Heavenly Monarch crashed down, blood gushing from his lips.
The earth-shaking battle—too fast to count the exchanges—had it truly ended like this?
He rose, face icy, fists clenched. But after a tense pause, he did not advance.
Those poised to celebrate now stood silent, mouths agape.
“Shall we continue?” Shi Hao asked.
The question made the Purple Sun Heavenly Monarch’s brows furrow, his fists tightening.
His former detractors had no words.
“Heh… hahaha—!” The Little Rabbit was the first to laugh, unrestrained.
Cao Yusheng and others joined in, their mirth grating to the Immortal Academy’s ears.
“Victory! Huang has triumphed! The Purple Sun Heavenly Monarch is no match for our Huang!” the Heavenly Deity Academy’s disciples roared.
“Don’t gloat! This proves nothing!” the page spat, seething.
“What’s so amusing?!” Wu Tai snarled at them.
**BAM!**
Shi Hao struck—a single finger, expanding rapidly, crushing the page’s bones and sending him flying, half-dead once more.
“You—!” The page coughed blood, enraged, but Shi Hao ignored him, kicking him away.
To act so brazenly before the Purple Sun Heavenly Monarch—this was utter disregard!
“Annoying,” Shi Hao said simply.
**BAM!**
Next, his fist seal shattered Wu Tai’s bones, nearly pulping him.
“And you—come here. Let me taste Golden-Horned Rhinoceros,” Shi Hao called, freezing the beast in terror.
The crowd was stunned. Huang showed no restraint, humiliating his foes openly, as if the Purple Sun Heavenly Monarch were beneath his notice!
