Is there any hope for me, who proposed to the world-destroying empress at the very beginning?

The arena exploded! This arena, forged from obsidian...

One corner of the martial arts arena turned into shattered stones that flew in all directions.

Smoke billowed, and the air was thick with the acrid smell of burning metal.

As the dust settled, under the tense gazes of the crowd, Su Liang and Gu Jiang stood on the rubble of the dueling arena.

Everyone looked on in shock. Compared to their initial positions, the two had each taken a few steps back. Su Liang had taken three steps back, while Gu Jiang, their senior brother, had taken five steps back!

The crowd below the stage looked at each other in disbelief. This was the first time in so many years that they had seen their senior brother, Gu Jiang, lose in their very first exchange.

On the stage, Gu Jiang quickly channeled Yin and Yang energies through his body to calm the chaotic energy within. Meanwhile, he restored his right fist to its original position during the fight. From Gu Jiang's perspective, one could be horrified to see that the white bone was deeply embedded in his right fist, the flesh of which was scorched, and his entire arm was trembling slightly.

Gu Jiang stared intently at Su Liang opposite him. With his keen eyesight, he could see that Su Liang had simply gathered his spiritual energy into his right fist and punched it out, but the resulting injuries far exceeded his expectations.

During his battle with Su Liang, it felt as if he were not fighting a person, but an erupting volcano, or an ancient golden dragon with a body comparable to Jin Geng. He felt a chill run down his spine.

While worrying about when such a little monster would appear in the sect, he was also troubled about how to save face for his senior brother... If he were to be beaten up by a junior brother who was powerless to fight back, it would be very embarrassing for him as the senior brother!

While Gu Jiang was suffering from a headache, Su Liang eased the numbness in his hands. In this physical confrontation, he had the upper hand, but that didn't mean he was completely unharmed.

The moment he made contact with Gu Jiangquan, he felt a strand of lightning pull into his body. If left unattended, it would inevitably cause various obstacles for Su Liang in the long run, and even if he wanted to get rid of it, Su Liang would find it troublesome.

Once the Divine Emperor's Body is activated, the physical body and blood energy will greatly increase, which is the main reason why the body seems like a furnace.

Golden light emanated from Su Liang's body as he tried to expel the lightning threads within him. However, he found that the lightning threads inside him were extremely strange. They clung to his body like maggots, yet they also spread out endlessly, creating a yin-yang balance.

Su Liang suddenly looked up as if sensing something, and saw Gu Jiang opposite him winking and making a bunch of strange gestures.

And coincidentally, Su Liang felt like he understood it.

"How about a draw? You've also been hit by my Yin-Yang Thunder. If we continue fighting, it will only result in mutual destruction."

Su Liang deciphered Gu Jiangdi's gestures. After finishing, he shook his head and chuckled. Today, he had truly broadened his horizons. Was this what the ancient emperor looked like when he was young?

Looking at Gu Jiang, who was somewhat anxious and kept gesturing to him, he suddenly realized that the ancient emperor who looked at the starry river in the ancient battlefield with a lonely back and an aura that made Su Liang almost unable to breathe was really the same person as the frivolous Gu Jiang now.

When Gu Jiang saw Su Liang staring blankly, he became anxious and started making even faster hand gestures in the shadows. He had been dreaming of ending the battle peacefully, but his junior brother on the other side didn't give him any face. He would definitely give him special training in the future. Senior brother loves doing this the most.

Chapter 980 The Most Brilliant Battle of All Time (Part Two)

Seeing Gu Jiang still gesturing and inexplicably increasing the 'conditions', Su Liang responded.

Seeing Gu Jiang's astonished expression, he smiled and shook his head in refusal. Gu Jiang became anxious and said, "How can you be so inconsiderate? You want to compete with your senior brother. Can't you show more concern for your lonely senior brother?"

With a ruthless heart, Gu Jiang thought, "If you're heartless, don't blame me for being unjust." Just as she was about to activate the lightning threads within Su Liang's body, her expression changed.

He discovered that, without him noticing, the laser threads within the other person's body had completely disappeared.

Gu Jiang's face fell. Oh no, he was really going to be embarrassed. How could this little monster be so monstrous? It could even dispel the Yin-Yang Thunder within his body!

Su Liang channeled the Nirvana Fire within his body, burning away the last Yin-Yang Lightning Threads that were trembling in the corner. Su Liang marveled at how useful the Nirvana Fire was.

Below the stage, a group of elders isolated the area within several miles of the arena. Their eyes gleamed as they watched Su Liang dispel the Yin-Yang Thunder within his body.

A short, old man exclaimed incredulously in a low voice:

"Which sect's disciple is this kid? Gu Jiang's Yin-Yang Thunder was personally copied from the Heaven and Earth Thunder. It has both the power of heaven and earth and the endless cycle of Yin and Yang. He is an unparalleled genius who has pushed the Yin and Yang of our sect to an incredible level. Who is this kid?"

The other chiefs looked at each other blankly.

On the dueling stage, Su Liang had no idea that the Yin-Yang Thunder he had casually dealt with was so powerful.

All I know is that after finishing the task, I felt completely relaxed. I stepped on the rubble and crushed it to pieces. Then, with that force, I soared into the sky like a roc spreading its wings, my hands clasped together, forming a hand seal.

An endless crimson aura surged from his vast spiritual energy, gathering around Su Liang and moving with his hand, eventually transforming into a crimson millstone.

"Heavenly Killing Style!"

Above the millstone, the blood moon shimmered and rippled, its fierce aura nearly causing the surrounding disciples to tremble with fear.

Those with weak minds, upon seeing this blood-red roulette wheel, seem to see an ancient battlefield shrouded in smoke.

In just a moment, he was sent flying backward, his face contorted in pain, and he coughed up blood.

The nearby elders also changed their expressions drastically, breaking out in a cold sweat, and intensified the sealing of the surrounding spiritual energy.

They looked at the two inside and smiled bitterly. Were they getting old or something? Was this really a duel between Heavenly Kings? They had never seen Heavenly Kings so powerful before.

Su Liang stared at the blood-red millstone in front of him, his hands clasped in a mudra. He was also incredibly surprised. Just now, he had a sudden inspiration and tried to gather the blood-red baleful energy from the ancient battlefield into it. He never expected the effect to be so good.

Su Liang shouted earnestly to Gu Jiang, "Be careful! I'm not sure I can handle this move either. Don't blame me if you die!"

Gu Jiang retreated rapidly, and these words sounded somewhat familiar.

Gu Jiang shouted, "If you're not confident, don't release it! Aren't you just setting us up for failure!"

However, Su Liang could not pay attention to Gu Jiang's words. He activated the blood-red millstone, which trembled and flew straight towards Gu Jiang at a speed that surpassed Gu Jiang's speed!

Seeing the speed of the blood-red millstone, Gu Jiang knew that running away was impossible. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and fight back. He drew out even larger Yin-Yang lightning from the Yin-Yang spiritual energy with both hands. However, this time, the Yin-Yang lightning he drew out only represented the Yin aspect.

Gu Jiang also formed a hand seal, "Thunder Technique! Yin Thunder!"

The Yin Lightning in his hand coiled up like a snake, then swam into the void before him and disappeared. When it reappeared, it had transformed into a giant net that wrapped around the blood-red millstone. As the millstone rolled, the net of Yin Lightning gradually disintegrated. Seeing that the Yin Lightning was no match for him, Gu Jiang painfully drew out another bolt of Yin Lightning and transformed it into a net that wrapped around the blood-red millstone.

After repeating this process, Gu Jiang drew out fifteen giant nets formed from Yin lightning and forcefully wore down the blood-red millstone.

Gu Jiang was on the verge of tears, pointing to her already pale face, and said with a mournful expression:

"Junior brother, can we stop fighting? Look how 'weak' I am."

Su Liang's expression turned serious as he looked at Gu Jiang with a strange expression. In his perception, this man who said he was 'weak' was...

Not only was his blood and qi vigorous, but even when he drew out the Yin lightning, the aura emanating from the Yin and Yang spiritual energy startled Su Liang. Although he was not afraid, Su Liang had never encountered an opponent of Gu Jiang's caliber before.

Having roughly figured out Gu Jiang's personality, Su Liang didn't want to talk to him anymore. People like Gu Jiang get more excited the more you talk to them, and the more they pretend. If you don't push them, you'll never know where their limits are.

Su Liang turned and swept over like a tornado, arriving near Gu Jiang in the blink of an eye. He threw a punch, and a wave of heat burst forth. Su Liang used all his strength in this punch. If Gu Jiang's strength was really as shown earlier, this punch would probably be enough to finish him off.

"boom!"

Thunder rumbled in the sky, and as the yin and yang spiritual energies opened and closed, blazing yang lightning fiercely bombarded Su Liang.

Not only did it neutralize most of Su Liang's punch, but it also continued to attack Su Liang with undiminished force, while Gu Jiang's figure had already transformed into a strand of Yang lightning and scattered in the air.

"Junior brother, it's not good to be in such a hurry. Although I don't want to fight anymore, I'm not about to be defeated by you with one punch."

Gu Jiang's helpless voice came from behind Su Liang. From the very beginning, the one speaking to Su Liang was just a phantom made of lace.

Perhaps the current Gu Jiang is just a phantom; who knows where the real one is hiding?

Su Liang's entire body shone with brilliant golden light, and with one hand he dragged all the Yang Lightning in front of him into his palm. Under the scorching heat of the Divine Emperor's body, which was as hot as a celestial rock, the blazing Yang Lightning, which symbolized the righteous energy of heaven and earth, melted and collapsed.

Without turning his head, Su Liang threw the Yang Lei in his hand. The Yang Lei transformed into a lightning spear and roared towards Gu Jiang.

Gu Jiang did not offer any resistance, but simply allowed the Yang Lei Spear to pass through her and shatter into lightning threads and disappear.

After passing through Gu Jiang, Yang Lei's momentum became even more powerful, like a thunder dragon, rushing towards the elders in the shadows. Although it seemed intentional, it was actually a coincidence.

The elders used various methods to quickly escape the place, but several of them, whose cultivation was only at the second or third level, were not so lucky. Not only were their hair and beards blown black, but their Yin-Yang Daoist robes were also messy and black.

They looked at the two fighting below them, their faces twitched, and they were on the verge of tears. If they could, they really didn't want to come again. The aftershocks of the battle from such a distance had already made them like this. If they were any closer, would these two even beat up the elders?

Is it easy for them to be elders of the Yin-Yang Sect?

Chapter 981 The Most Brilliant Battle of All Time (Part 3)

"Junior brother, what exactly is your physique? Is it the Ancient Sacred Body? How come you're like a little wild beast, able to even catch something like Heaven and Earth Yang Lightning?"

Not far to Su Liang's left, another figure, Gu Jiang, appeared. He said with a look of lingering fear.

Su Liang looked at Gu Jiang, his eyes flashing. In his eyes, this Gu Jiang was incredibly lifelike, just like a real person. Yet, he had just killed two of these 'real people'.

"Is it by infusing yin and yang into it that this effect is achieved?"

Su Liang's eyes were sharp, and he quickly saw through the illusory image of Yang Thunder in front of him.

Humans are also divided into Yin and Yang. If a person's Yin and Yang reach a harmonious and synchronized frequency, then no matter what disguise he makes, he can do it perfectly.

"Not bad, not bad. This unknown disciple has a good eye."

Gu Jiang is indeed exceptionally talented in the Dao of Yin and Yang. Even I, in my time, would struggle to create this lightning-transformed avatar.

It's hard to tell the difference. Gu Jiang, that kid, always uses these little tricks to skip class; it's really giving us a headache."

The Yin-Yang Sect Master, a kind-looking old man, was lurking in the shadows. He first stroked his beard in praise, then looked pained.

“Junior brother, you guessed right. What's in front of you is just my lightning form. If you can't find my true form, then you'll never be able to truly defeat me,” the illusory Gu Jiang laughed.

Then, he gestured to Su Liang, the meaning was clear: a draw! Hurry up!

Below them, the Yin-Yang Sect disciples stared blankly at the stage. They didn't know much about Su Liang, but they knew a great deal about their senior brother, Gu Jiang.

Even the eldest brother is helpless after fighting to this point. Don't they have any idea how strong Su Liang really is?

Do you think our senior brother will lose?

A hesitant male voice rang out from below the stage.

"This..." Even the female disciples who strongly supported Su Liang hesitated. Their senior brother had been a legend in their hearts for too long. It was quite magical that someone would suddenly appear and defeat him with unimaginable strength.

Looking at the illusory figure of Gu Jiang, Su Liang suddenly exclaimed, "I have to admit, you are the most troublesome opponent I have ever encountered. Your mastery of Yin and Yang cultivation is unparalleled. The resulting landmine technique is both powerful and unpredictable, truly making you unmatched in both strength and skill."

Su Liang's words were sincere and heartfelt. The strength of this young Reincarnation Emperor was indeed somewhat unexpected. His current Yin and Yang had already laid a solid foundation for future reincarnation.

So far, Su Liang has mostly overcome opponents by sheer strength. If they were to encounter someone stronger than Su Liang, they would be in trouble.

However, Su Liang found Gu Jiang's situation tricky. Judging from their previous encounters, he was physically superior to Gu Jiang. Gu Jiang himself knew his disadvantage, so now he stopped fighting and hid, launching sneak attacks from behind.

The illusory figure of Gu Jiang looked quite pleased, seemingly pleased with Su Liang's words. Gu Jiang understood the principle of mutual support and then spoke:

"I accept your exaggeration. You are quite good too. You are a few years younger than me, yet you have achieved such strength. In a head-on confrontation, I would not be your match."

Gu Jiang praised him generously while secretly making hand gestures.

Su Liang ignored this and said thoughtfully:

"This lightning body is indeed exactly the same as a real person, and the person should also be hiding nearby. Why can't I sense its existence? It must be that it has used the Yin and Yang energies to the point of being able to cross the sky and the sea. But since it can't be seen by the eyes and can't be sensed by the divine sense, then what about the mind?"

Giving a strange smile to his surroundings, Su Liang slowly closed his eyes, while his other eye opened in his mind.

Gu Jiang, who was hiding to the side, sensed something was wrong. He formed a hand seal and whispered:

"Yang Lei!"

Several bolts of Yang lightning shot out from the Yin-Yang spiritual energy like thunder pythons, flashing towards Su Liang. Su Liang waved his hand, and a golden light flashed, causing the bolts of Yang lightning to dissolve into the world.

But then a bolt of dark lightning, like an earthworm, suddenly flew out from behind Su Liang and streaked away. From the beginning, the light lightning had been used to cover up this hidden dark lightning.
