Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

"Li Yuanba, Prince Zhao of the Western Prefecture of the Great Tang Dynasty!"

Seeing that Xiang Shaoyu could easily withstand his hammer blow, Li Yuanba licked his lips, his eyes blazing with intense light.

"Xinghan, Xiang Shaoyu!"

Xiang Shaoyu carried the Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd and wore the equipment of the Hegemon of Western Chu, but he did not consider himself Xiang Yu.

Xiang Shaoyu, whose youthful spirit had not been extinguished, believed that he would definitely surpass Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, in the future, because that was a failed future, and he would not repeat the same mistakes.

People cannot empathize with others, even if that person is their adult self.

The young and middle-aged Xiang Yu were completely different people, embarking on two drastically different paths.

"Come!" Li Yuanba roared, and the Dharma image, which was over a hundred feet tall, behind him shrank rapidly and perfectly merged into his body.

"Come on!" Xiang Shaoyu grinned maliciously, and the magic behind him, which was over a hundred feet long, shrank even faster than Li Yuanba's.

"How could Xiang Shaoyu's divine will have improved so quickly?" The divine cultivators suddenly noticed the changes in Xiang Shaoyu.

Without a doubt, Xiang Shaoyu at this moment possesses the ability to break through three realms, which is completely different from before.

Based on this performance alone, he is enough to compete with Lü Bu for the title of the strongest.

After all, when they broke through the double boundary before, they were able to fight Lu Bu to a standstill, and now the divine will has been sublimated once again.

Everyone was surprised; this was a qualitative change.

"They all came prepared!"

Lu Bu's eyes were equally burning with desire. Zhang Fei, Xiang Shaoyu, and the others had all come prepared. If it weren't for the Tang Dynasty's interference, these things would undoubtedly have been prepared for him.

This feeling surprised and delighted Lü Bu, as there was no point in remaining entrenched in the strongest position.

Only through continuous challenges and pursuits can he go further.

Lu Bu never liked to bully weaklings; only the strong were worth fighting.

Xiang Shaoyu and Li Yuanba attacked almost simultaneously.

It was like two meteors colliding; the terrifying force shattered everything around them.

The two collided in an instant; the purple orb of light, accompanied by a visually distorted flame, flew high into the sky, while the golden orb of light plunged straight into the earth.

Li Yuanba crawled out of the crater, his eyes filled with gloom. Because of his short stature, he had suffered a hidden loss in the previous fight.

They were clearly going head-on, but upon colliding, they were smashed into the earth.

Atmospheric stress relief is far better than secondary damage to the earth.

More importantly, during the clash just now, Li Yuanba experienced for the first time a powerful force that was in no way inferior to his own.

That's why both of them were knocked flying.

Just as Li Yuanba was getting angry, Xiang Shaoyu descended from the sky, wielding the Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd, his aura reaching its peak, ready to pierce through Li Yuanba with a single blow.

Sensing the terrifying threat descending from the sky, Li Yuanba rose to his feet without flinching and slammed his two hammers down on Xiang Shaoyu.

There were no fancy moves; it was just raising both hammers and smashing them down.

"Break it for me!"

Xiang Shaoyu roared and unleashed his ultimate attack.

The twin hammers and the halberd clashed in mid-air.

Li Yuanba was slammed into the earth again, causing the earth to crack and the land within a ten-mile radius to collapse and shatter as if a massive earthquake had occurred.

This time, Xiang Shaoyu wasn't knocked away, but he coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face flushed. He wiped the blood from his mouth and stared intently at the center of the shattered earth.

Li Yuanba was not a brute who only knew how to use brute force; his twin hammers had just struck the halberd in his hand with the force of two peaks piercing his ears.

The overwhelming power spread directly from the weapon to his entire body; the opponent was simply trading injury for injury.

If his assault was a penetrating attack, then Li Yuanba's attack was a shockwave attack.

His attack pierced Li Yuanba's body, and the shock from Li Yuanba's attack also severely damaged his body.

However, for the two of them, these injuries were nothing.

Their exceptional cultivation levels grant them superhuman recovery abilities.

What would be considered a serious injury to an ordinary person who loses control of their internal energy is nothing to these two.

This kind of harm is merely an appetizer to awaken instincts in both of them.

"You are indeed stronger than them, you were able to withstand my attack so easily!" A pair of golden wings appeared on Li Yuanba's back as he flew out from the ground.

For Li Yuanba, the only use of the Golden-Winged Roc was to enable him to fly at high speeds; as a skilled cultivator, flying was always a weakness.

Xiang Shaoyu snorted coldly, and a pair of bird wings also appeared on his back, but it was just a means of materializing his Dharma form.

"I'm going to give it my all!"

Li Yuanba's muscles bulged all over his body, as if he had mutated, transforming from a short, skinny ghost into a burly man over two meters tall.

"It's been a long time since I've been in this state!" Li Yuanba stretched his body, this was his true fighting state.

That previous state was partly to suppress my own power, and partly to better conserve my energy and spirit.

Yuwen Chengdu and Pei Yuanqing both had extremely solemn expressions; they were killed by Li Yuanba in this state.

They knew very well how powerful Li Yuanba would be in this state.

If there were clouds, Li Yuanba's threat level would be even higher.

Even though both of them are stronger than before and could definitely withstand three or more blows, they still harbor a fear of that power, a demon etched into their hearts at the moment of their death.

Xiang Shaoyu did not interrupt Li Yuanba. He had absolute confidence in himself. In his mind, defeating Li Yuanba in his prime was the first step for him to replace Lu Bu as the strongest.

"Come again!"

After transforming, Li Yuanba raised his hammer and smashed it at Xiang Shaoyu, his movements straightforward and seemingly lacking in skill.

However, everyone present was a master, and they all keenly noticed that Li Yuanba's attacks in these few instances were imbued with incredibly skillful techniques.

If we break it down into elite talents, I wonder how many kinds we can break it down into, which is more than enough to make one part of the power have ten parts of the effect.

Xiang Shaoyu wanted to test Li Yuanba's power, so he directly used the Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd to withstand it.

As expected, Xiang Shaoyu was sent flying by Li Yuanba's hammer.

After being smashed away, Xiang Shaoyu's fighting spirit soared to the heavens, and the Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd, which he had been wielding with one hand, was now being wielded with both hands.

They no longer fight with brute force, but instead display their martial arts skills. As beings standing at the pinnacle of martial arts, their techniques are all designed to support the power lock.

The Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd and the Thunderous Golden Hammer clashed repeatedly.

"It looks like both sides are serious. Should we stop them later?" Zhang Fei watched the fight between Xiang Shaoyu and Li Yuanba. Their battle was completely different from before.

Within that small space, neither of them retreated an inch, and there wasn't even much of a ripple effect spreading outwards. But once you were caught in their battle, no number of lives would be enough to kill you.

Within a radius of several tens of meters, the power of these two entities almost completely monopolized the area, leaving no room for any third party to intervene.

The outcome of such a battle is also clear: one side will inevitably collapse from exhaustion, and may even die on the spot.

"The divine will of both sides should not be enough to seal a future of certain death... Let's just wait and see!" Guan Yu stroked his beard and answered Zhang Fei's question.

Although Xiang Shaoyu and Li Yuanba were ridiculously strong, they were actually not as dangerous as when Lu Bu fought Yuwen Chengdu or Guan Yu fought Qin Qiong.

If the divine will is not up to par, it is completely impossible to completely kill the opponent.

"Don't let your guard down. Li Yuanba is the Emperor of Tang's own younger brother. Even if we are allies, we must stop him." Yue Fei shook his head.

"It sounds like you think that guy on the other side will lose?" Ma Chao was a little puzzled. The two hadn't even decided a winner yet, so how could they already be thinking about the other's defeat?

Gan Ning patted Ma Chao on the shoulder and explained to him with a look of disbelief, as if he were an idiot.

"Because the guy on the other side is dead, it will cause a diplomatic dispute. Even if he can be resurrected, it will lead to other diplomatic incidents. So we need to discuss whether or not to intervene to save him!"

"Ultimately, we are the home team and they are the away team, so we need to ensure their safety. Everything else is an internal matter and doesn't need to be discussed at all!"

"If you see Xiang Shaoyu is in a weak position, wouldn't you step in to help?"

After saying that, Gan Ning patted Ma Chao on the shoulder again. At this moment, in terms of intelligence, he completely crushed Ma Chao.

"You bastard!" Ma Chao pounced on Gan Ning, and the two instantly began to wrestle.

Zhao Yun glanced speechlessly at Gan Ning and Ma Chao, then thrust out his spear and separated the two.

"Watch closely, this will be a valuable experience for you too!"

"Do you really think it's useful for us to watch this?" Gan Ning asked, pointing to the two completely non-human beings in the arena.

"At least it will prevent you two from getting killed with a single blow!" Zhang Fei mocked sarcastically.

"Zhang Heizi, can you withstand these two monsters?" Ma Chao was a little unconvinced, but he wasn't afraid of Zhang Fei.

After all, Zhang Fei hadn't reached the level of pure breakthrough, and Ma Chao wasn't someone to be trifled with; they were definitely capable of a fight.

"At least I won't get killed by a single blow!" Zhang Fei glanced at Ma Chao sideways.

"I'm sure I can hold out too!" Ma Chao retorted defiantly.

"Yeah, you take a hit from the hammer, and then the person kneels on the ground begging you not to die!" Gan Ning said sarcastically from the side.

"You bastard!" Upon hearing this, Ma Chao turned around and was about to pounce on Gan Ning again, but Yue Fei had no choice but to stop him.

"Watch closely, the battle is about to be decided!" Lu Bu suddenly exclaimed, and everyone's attention immediately focused.

They had thought it wouldn't end quickly, but they never expected it to end so fast.

"The two of them almost completely abandoned their defenses, launching a direct attack against another direct attack, a battle of who would fall first!"

"This extreme output completely exceeded the limits of their physical bodies. To date, their bodies have been damaged hundreds of times!"

“Delicate cultivation is not good at internal energy and willpower, but the physical body itself contains these two points, plus the special state of their divine will…” Dian Wei was speaking when the two in the arena began their final burst of energy.

Before Ma Chao could understand what Dian Wei meant, he saw Xiang Shaoyu wielding the Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd, unleashing an aura of earth-shattering force. Then, with a simple, powerful strike, the Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd cleaved Mount Hua, its purple light completely shattering the space in front of him.

The attack that erupted was even more explosive than Lu Bu's previous super-powerful basic attack.

Li Yuanba, however, showed no weakness. He roared and raised his golden hammer, smashing it directly in front of him, shattering the attack coming from the front.

Both sides fell silent. What kind of monster is this?!

The space between them shattered completely, and fine fragments of space washed over their bodies, but when everything calmed down, nothing happened.

The two of them acted as if nothing had happened.

But neither of them stopped their actions, accumulating power and strength as space shattered, and then suddenly unleashing it at this moment.

When the momentum reached its peak, neither side had room to retreat. At this point, they could not retreat, because if they did, their momentum would dissipate, and they would be unable to hold on any longer!
A halberd against a hammer.

In that instant, the all-consuming purple and golden light collided violently.

"Quickly, save them!" Yue Fei and Qin Qiong roared as they gave the order.

However, this time the shattered space directly engulfed both of them.

Before anyone could find the two, Xiang Shaoyu tore open the shattered space and appeared in the field, carrying the unconscious Li Yuanba in his hand.

"We won!" Lu Bu's pupils contracted slightly. He keenly noticed a strange change in Xiang Shaoyu at the last moment.

Xiang Shaoyu's face was gloomy.

He won, but he didn't win.

To be precise, Xiang Yu won. In the final clash, Xiang Yu's divine will swept out and knocked Li Yuanba unconscious.

His final battle with Li Yuanba ended without a clear winner.

The divine will emanating from Xiang Yu became the final straw that broke the camel's back, knocking Li Yuanba unconscious.

Xiang Shaoyu did not reject Xiang Yu's power, as it was his own power. However, all the previous powers were within his control, but this final attack was not.

It's more like the power that Xiang Yu left him to save his life, which was triggered by Li Yuanba.

It worked for Li Yuanba, but was it really effective for Lü Bu?
There was no joy of victory on Xiang Shaoyu's face.

With Li Yuanba unconscious, the sparring became more harmonious, since the outcome was already decided and everyone was simply exchanging blows.

However, seemingly influenced by Li Yuanba's defeat, the Tang Dynasty suffered more losses than wins in subsequent battles, resulting in a complete rout.

When everything had settled down, the Tang Dynasty's envoy delegation returned to their residence.

"Lost?" Wang Xuance was surprised by the result.

His original plan to use the martial arts tournament to test the waters should have been flawless. If the envoy had won, they could have easily made some demands.

But if they lose, they become the ones in a passive position.

As the saying goes, you have to accept the consequences of your bet. They lost this time, and that's it; they have to pay the price.

"How could this be?" Wang Xuance was completely baffled.

Based on Xue Wanche's probing results, they should have been guaranteed to win. Even if they lost one or two matches, the overall score should have been theirs.

What Wang Xuance didn't know was that too many people were absent from the last Star River, and the boost from the local starlight was far too astonishing for the various generals and officers.

Furthermore, after entering the Star River, the blessings of the Heavenly Court's gods and Buddhas were weakened. Under the interference of various factors, their defeat was inevitable. (End of Chapter)
