Chapter 232 Battle for the Number One (18)
CLANG!
They fought relentlessly until both of their swords shattered into pieces. The arena was covered in sword gashes.
If not for the protective barrier, only the heavens knew how many would have been injured.
"It's time to end this," Lila declared.
She stretched her hand forward, and all the Originat in the arena began to flow toward her.
A staff, as tall as the heavens, took shape—a weapon that dictated the punishment of sinners, the pillar that upheld the heavens themselves.

The multicolored staff's aura once again shocked the crowd. Even Draco raised an eyebrow, as he was the one facing its overwhelming presence the most.
The multicolored staff landed in Lila's hands, and her aura skyrocketed.
Draco smiled. "Yes, let's end this."
Draco stretched his hands forward. It felt as if something foreboding and powerful was appearing.
Lila frowned at this. She felt a deep loathing toward whatever was emerging.
The crowd fixed their gaze on Draco. They wanted to know what weapon he was going to use in the battle.
They watched as a black-red sword appeared in front of Draco. His aura intensified, and his body emitted a black-red Originat aura.
The crowd was shocked by the change in the Weapon of Plunder. They had seen it before, but it had seemed like a normal weapon. Now, as it radiated an overwhelming aura, they realized they had underestimated it.
Lila couldn't tolerate this loathsome feeling anymore. She stretched her multicolored staff, sending a bolt of lightning toward Draco.
Draco also stretched his sword forward. A blood-colored lightning strike shot toward the Elven Girl, destroying her lightning bolt and continuing its attack on her.
The crowd was stunned, while each of the representatives of the academies exchanged glances. They were familiar with the Lightning Aura that Draco had released.
They shook their heads. Maybe it was just a coincidence—the aura was weaker than the one they had witnessed before, and it seemed incomplete.
They had been searching for the one who endured that tribulation, battling against the heavens and thousands of Dao beings.
Perhaps Draco had simply been lucky enough to encounter a remnant of that Lightning Tribulation, allowing him to control it.
Lila snorted and stretched her multicolored staff, absorbing the lightning.
"Master, using the Heavenly Dao's material or skill is like adding wings to a tiger," Lilith explained.
"Where did you get this from?" Lila asked with a furrowed brow.
Draco just chuckled, keeping his mouth shut.
Lila snorted again and attacked Draco, who blocked her strike once more.
Draco held his sword as if he was about to unsheathe it, and everyone watched closely.
He drew the sword, but instead of slashing, he sheathed it back immediately.
"Hmph," they heard Lila snort—but before she could react, hundreds of curved sword slashes had already appeared, all aiming directly at her.
The crowd was astonished. Many had not even seen how Draco had attacked, but those with greater strength had witnessed everything—Draco had unsheathed his sword just once, but his single slash had unleashed hundreds of attacks.
Lila stomped her staff in midair, releasing a shockwave of vibrations that destroyed most of the incoming sword slashes.
She then swung her staff lightly, eliminating the remaining slashes.
But they didn't stop. Their battle raged on, shaking the arena. Even the protective glass barrier was beginning to crack. If not for Gratt maintaining it, it would have shattered completely.
The arena was now filled with numerous pits, gashes, and cuts. Explosions erupted like a firecracker festival.
Both opponents refused to give up, clashing again and again.
No one had expected their strength to be this overwhelming—even the arena's glass barrier was cracking under the sheer force of their battle.
"Well, it seems I underestimated this young man," the old man with purple hair chuckled slightly.
As for the middle-aged man, one thing was clear—he was shocked. He had never expected Draco to be this strong.
Meanwhile, Astron had to admit defeat, though this didn't mean he wouldn't fight Draco again.
He planned to cultivate intensely. When his strength increased, he would challenge Draco once more—whether the gap between them had widened, whether he was the one who had closed the gap, or whether Draco had surged even further ahead.
The representatives of the academies watched closely. Even the Obsidian Academy and Luminari Academy representatives were shocked and amazed.
Tera had never imagined that Draco would possess such devastating and immense power, so much so that he was nearing the strength of a Level 90 cultivator.
Both opponents still maintained a stalemate until Lila raised her staff toward the heavens.
"Heavenly Dao Punishment!"
She cried out, and everything changed. Dark clouds began to gather as crackles of thunder echoed across the sky. The crowd was shocked by this.
Each representative was astonished—they could see that Lila was controlling a small part of the Origin Heavenly Dao.
This was the power that everyone sought to obtain. The Heavenly Dao was the dictator and judge of the world, and to go against it—only a few had ever survived.
If one were able to control even a fraction of its power, their strength and talent would be truly undefeatable.
They now understood why Lila was so monstrous in both strength and talent. They sighed, shifting their gaze toward Draco.
Only if Draco possessed something on par with the Heavenly Dao could he possibly defend against this—and they had never heard of anything that could rival it.
The Heavenly Dao was the strongest force of all.
Draco chuckled as he felt the tribulation descending. Even though it was strong, he could sense that its destructive power wasn't as great as the one he had faced before, especially compared to the World-Annihilating Thunder.
Draco stood tall, watching as the thunder brewed, as if summoning a true tribulation.
The crowd looked at Draco and were surprised—why wasn't he moving away? Did he really think he could survive under the Heavenly Lightning?
This was as if he was undergoing a tribulation.
CRACKLE!
They watched as Draco stood alone while the thunder tribulation descended upon him.
But then—most of the crowd's jaws dropped.
Draco was completely unharmed under the lightning that struck him.
Draco watched as the lightning descended on him. He was right—while it was strong, it couldn't hurt him in his current state.
Lila saw this and felt a surge of anger.
Then—the entire cloud formation expanded in both size and aura.
The wind howled, as if a gale storm was approaching.
Crackles of thunder echoed every second.
Draco chuckled once more—this time, he could feel danger emanating from it.
He could tell that Lila had pushed its strength to the maximum.
He raised the Weapon of Plunder to the sky, channeling all his Originat, Domain, and Bloodline into it.
"You're giving it your all… Let me give you my all, too."
