Our eldest brother never hides good things from us.

What was the outcome of the battle?

Everyone held their breath, completely focused, eager to know the final result.

Neither side uttered any harsh words, and the atmosphere was tense throughout. It was similar to the feeling before seeing report cards.

This battle has nothing to do with individuals or resources. It represents the face of the sect. Whoever wins will hold their head high, and whoever loses will lose all face.

"It made me nervous just watching."

Even Chang Wen, who was initially just watching with a detached, apprehensive attitude, felt a little uneasy. Not to mention Su Xiaoman, who was only five years old, standing beside him.

The little girl had already covered her eyes with her two little hands, waiting for the answer to be revealed.

The two high-ranking members of the sects stood silently, tacitly remaining silent. Fang Chun of the Haoran Immortal Sect was uneasy, while Fang Ze of the Taixu Sword Sect was both uneasy and afraid.

Nangong Chi's previous decisive victory over Jiang Cheng led them to believe that victory was assured. They never expected things to develop this way.

If Nangong Chi were to lose, not only would the Taixu Sword Sect lose face, but they too would become clowns, the butt of jokes. They could not accept that.

As time passed, the energy fluctuations within the barrier space gradually weakened and eventually dissipated.

Chu Xinghe and his companion were revealed.

When everyone saw what was happening, they were stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

The anticipated mutual destruction did not occur. Chu Xinghe remained standing in the same spot, surrounded by the myriad wills of the universe, displaying an extraordinary demeanor.

In contrast, Nangong Chi was kneeling on the spot, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

High judgment.

The entire Dao Peak remained silent for a full ten breaths before someone came to their senses and slowly spoke.

"Hiss... Junior Brother Xinghe actually won?"

"Hmm, is this reasonable?"

"You're crazy! Who cares if it's reasonable or not? As long as Junior Brother Xinghe is awesome, that's all that matters!"

"The Taixu Sword Sect? They're nothing but petty scoundrels, not worth mentioning!"

"A month ago, you guys were all so arrogant, I thought you really had some skills, but it turns out this is all you've got, pshaw!"

The disciples gradually realized what was happening, and a deafening barrage of mockery erupted. They competed to see who could deliver the most satisfying insults, using every curse word they could think of.

A deafening wave engulfed the high-ranking members of the Taixu Sword Sect. Their faces were grim, and they were filled with disbelief.

"How could Nangong Chi, who possesses a strange fire, be defeated?"

Some peak leaders found it hard to believe and could not accept this fact.

"That's a rare flame! To obtain it... three of our sect's peak masters were seriously injured and went into seclusion. How could Chu Xinghe, a mere Golden Core cultivator, possibly win?"

Even they dared not easily touch the power of the strange fire. Although Nangong Chi had not fully refined it, it was still enough to crush his peers.

How could Chu Xinghe withstand the strange fire and even defeat it despite being of a higher level?

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it even if you beat them to death. It's too unbelievable.

"Since it has already happened, there's no point in saying anything more. Let's wait and see; Chi'er isn't so easily defeated."

Kong Jian cast aside all his contempt and began to truly examine Chu Xinghe. His eyes flickered, his thoughts unreadable.

"Sect Master, does the Holy Maiden have another plan?"

Seeing that Kong Jian was confident, one of the peak masters couldn't help but ask.

"It's not exactly a backup plan. But once she used that move, even Taiyi wouldn't be a match for her."

Kong Jian's expression was very solemn when he said this.

Upon hearing this, the high-ranking members of the Taixu Sword Sect all sensed something unusual and realized the seriousness of the matter.

Good news, Nangong Chi has another trick up his sleeve.

The bad news is that this ultimate move could very well kill Chu Xinghe outright. They understood perfectly well what that meant.

They all fell silent, their expressions turning serious.

The high-ranking members of the Haoran Immortal Sect, led by Lin Baoding, did not celebrate as they had before.

Although Chu Xinghe currently holds the upper hand, they've noticed that Kong Jian isn't particularly panicked. This suggests that... Nangong Chi definitely has a backup plan; it's best to observe for now.

As expected, Nangong Chi had not lost his ability to fight. He slowly stood up, stared at Chu Xinghe, and remained silent.

"Should we continue?"

Chu Xinghe and Nangong Chi exchanged glances, and Chu Xinghe said calmly, "If we continue fighting, you will probably be seriously injured."

"You're very capable. If you grow stronger, even Taiyi might not dare to say he's completely superior to you."

Nangong Chi did not answer the question, but instead expressed his opinion on Chu Xinghe.

What are you trying to say?

Chu Xinghe wasn't interested in these words. "Let me tell you in advance, my time is precious, and I don't want to waste it on meaningless conversations."

"I'm about to say, my next move is very powerful. If you don't give up, you might die."

Nangong Chi's expression was serious as he earnestly warned Chu Xinghe, hoping he would voluntarily admit defeat, otherwise things might get messy.

"Are you out of your mind?"

Upon hearing her words, Chu Xinghe's expression turned unusually serious. As a master, he had already keenly discerned what Nangong Chi was planning.

"I'm not crazy, but I have to win this battle today."

Nangong Chi took a deep breath, her lips parted slightly, and asked, "Do you admit defeat?"

"Never lost."

Even knowing what Nangong Chi was up to, Chu Xinghe remained calm. He figured Lin Baoding and the others would handle it; it wouldn't be a big problem.

Even if we take a step back and assume the worst, with our own senior brother sitting here, what could possibly happen to him?

In his mind, Chang Wen was better than everyone else. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to create works like "Drinking Alone Under the Moon" and "Free and Easy Wandering," so he felt very safe.

I wonder what would happen if Chang Wen knew he thought this way.

"Alright then."

Nangong Chi was not surprised. With a slight thought, he began to circulate his cultivation technique.

As she circulated her cultivation technique, a seed of the Sacred Flame of Reincarnation suppressed within her body began to tremble.

Then it went down her esophagus, through her throat, and out of her mouth.

The Sacred Flame of Reincarnation has five seeds. She only refined half of it, and the remaining four were sealed within her body by Kong Jian using a secret technique.

Some people might ask, how do you refine half a pill?

She has already been able to mobilize a spark, but she has not yet reached the level of being able to do as she pleases.

If she were to completely refine this spark, Chu Xinghe would be no match for her. But there are no "ifs" in this world; everything must be based on facts.

Therefore, she is now preparing to unleash her ultimate move, using the Sacred Flame of Reincarnation to deal with Chu Xinghe.

This is her most powerful move.

However, because she has only refined half of it, she cannot perfectly control the fire seed and may burn Chu Xinghe to ashes.

She didn't want this to happen. If Chu Xinghe were burned to death, the feud between the two families would inevitably deepen, contradicting her life goals.

But Chu Xinghe refused to admit defeat. She had no other choice but to risk summoning the fire seed.

The flame is the true form of the Sacred Flame of Reincarnation. Although it is only one, it is far superior to the previous wisp of flame.

Almost the instant the spark appeared, the myriad wills behind Chu Xinghe began to show signs of distortion, as if they were about to be extinguished at any moment.

"It truly is the Sacred Flame of Reincarnation."

Chu Xinghe's expression was more solemn than ever before, sensing an aura of destruction emanating from it. He was on high alert, ready to meet the enemy.

But he clearly underestimated the power of the Sacred Flame of Reincarnation.

Before he could even activate his cultivation technique, the myriad wills behind him could no longer bear the burden and shattered one after another.
