Chapter 378: We Shall Fight Again Someday!
Sky-piercing stood still, eyes wide and face filled with disbelief as he stared at the scene before him. He simply couldn’t believe it; despite having unleashed his strongest slash, he hadn’t been able to inflict the slightest damage on his opponent—how was this possible!
After all, he was a strong warrior at the Third Stage of the Divine Path Realm, while his opponent was merely at the Peak of Martial King Realm. Even if his opponent possessed exceptional talent, it shouldn’t be monstrous to such an extent, thought Sky-piercing—he simply couldn’t figure it out.
Ye Feng remained standing casually in place, well aware that he had had no choice but to use the Emperor’s Armor just now. He believed the more than ten elders at the highest platform, and the youth in white, had clearly seen it, but there was nothing he could do about it. If they saw it, they saw it—after all, they would come to know about it sooner or later.
"Three moves have passed; now, it’s my turn to make a move!" Ye Feng turned his head toward Sky-piercing, his face still composed.
Sky-piercing’s expression had turned incredibly dark. Only now had he realized that his opponent’s strength far surpassed his imagination, and that he had indeed underestimated Ye Feng. Fortunately, he had made thorough preparations before coming.
"I won’t give you the chance to make a move!"
Suddenly, Sky-piercing roared furiously as a massive shadow descended from the sky at terrifying speed, rapidly approaching right above Ye Feng’s head.
The shadow was immense, and it wasn’t until this moment that the crowd could slightly make out that it was actually a Mountain Seal. The bronze-colored Mountain Seal radiated a faint golden glow, signaling to anyone that it was no ordinary object.
"That’s the Kunlun Ancient Mountain Seal, an incredibly powerful magic treasure. Who would have thought Sky-piercing had such a treasure on him—truly a surprise!"
The crowd below immediately exclaimed in shock, with someone commenting in surprise, "And it seems that the Ancient Mountain Seal had been placed by Sky-piercing in the sky in advance; this move is truly unexpected!"
At that moment, Ye Feng let out a faint cold laugh. As he beckoned with his right hand, the Ancestral Dragon Spear appeared in his grasp. Approximately one meter eight in length, the spear shone with a golden hue. Along its shaft were lifelike Five-clawed Golden Dragons, adding an air of imposing majesty.
Ye Feng held the spear in one hand, and in that moment, the Qi Essence within him surged out wildly, pouring into the Spear of the Ancestral Dragon. Indeed, after cultivating the Divine Path Heavenly Edict, the quality of his Qi force had continuously improved, transitioning from a purely gaseous state towards Qi Essence.
It wouldn’t take long for his Qi Essence to evolve deeper into Spirit Essence. By then, his combat power would surely greatly increase!
Swiftly, the Spear of the Ancestral Dragon thrust forth like lightning, aiming straight for the descending Ancient Mountain Seal above!
Boom!
With a single clash, the Spear of the Ancestral Dragon unleashed incomparable power, shattering the small Ancient Mountain Seal apart in an overwhelming display.
The terrifying aftermath spread in all directions, shaking the array barrier at the edges with undulating ripples, as if it could burst apart at any moment.
Ye Feng stood with the spear, no longer making a move—in fact, there was no need for him to act further. On the surface, the Kunlun Ancient Mountain Seal seemed strong, but it actually wasn’t even comparable to his Wushan Thunder Seal. When it came down to it, Sky-piercing was not among the strongest of the younger generation; at best, he was only middle-tier.

At this moment, Sky-piercing seemed to have lost his soul, standing there with a vacant gaze as if his spirit had been shattered by his opponent.
The area below the arena was already in an uproar, as many people exclaimed, "Northern King Ye Feng truly deserves to be Northern King Ye Feng, so incredibly strong. He is truly the idol of our youth!"
This battle was being broadcast live globally, and almost all the citizens of Xuanyuan Nation were paying attention to this competition between geniuses. Undeniably, Northern King Ye Feng held great prestige among the people, and especially after witnessing this battle, many were so excited that they danced with joy, with quite a few even shedding tears of excitement.
"Northern King Ye Feng, the guardian of the Northern Border, will surely be the guardian of our Xuanyuan Nation in the future. In this vast country, from now on, I only acknowledge Northern King Ye Feng," many people exclaimed in their hearts at this time.
Ye Feng’s expression remained calm, yet his heart was suddenly shaken, for he discovered that the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll that had been absorbed into the Heavenly Heart Palace within his Sea of Consciousness was now beginning to fluctuate.
Even faintly, from all directions came the profound energies of Heaven and Earth’s luck, pouring into the Divine Path Heavenly Edict.
"Hmm? What exactly is going on? Why has the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll suddenly undergone such a change without any reason?"
Inwardly astounded, Ye Feng quickly came to a realization, "Could it be related to my victory in this battle? The Emperor’s Dao of the Divine Path Heavenly Edict revolves around the imperial lineage, and the most crucial aspect of the Emperor’s Dao is the prestige and luck of an emperor.
Now that I’ve won this battle and my prestige has naturally increased, is that why the scroll is showing such anomalies?"
Although it was just a speculation and not yet verified, Ye Feng was already somewhat certain. Up to now, he had grasped two methods of cultivating the Emperor’s Dao: one was to greatly develop powerful subordinates, benefiting whenever they made a breakthrough, and the other was to continuously enhance his own prestige.
Following this clue, Ye Feng deduced that if he could continuously expand his territories, it would probably greatly boost the cultivation of the Emperor’s Dao. In other words, an emperor needs to constantly conquer new lands in order to strengthen his power.
As the saying goes, the Emperor’s Dao is indeed the path of an emperor!
Thinking of this, Ye Feng felt a sense of admiration, but for now he could not absorb this sudden surge of luck energy. However, to his surprise, when this energy suddenly poured into the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll from all around, the eleven elders on the highest platform did not notice anything at all. This meant that this type of prestigious luck energy was of a higher level.
Only at this moment did Sky-piercing finally regain his senses from his dispirited state, but he only stared directly at Ye Feng without saying a word.
Ye Feng couldn’t help but chuckle, "What, still not convinced?"
Sky-piercing didn’t speak, not uttering a single word, he simply turned his head and left, swiftly leaping off the stage and dashing out of the arena. Only then did his voice finally ring out.
"Ye Feng, I admit you are strong, and I am not your match for now, but as my grandfather said, victory and defeat are common in warfare. I will never concede, and I will not always be lesser than you. After today, I will enter the Outer Battlefield by myself, and one day we shall fight again!"
After these words, Sky-piercing completely disappeared. On the side of the Great General’s Mansion, including Great General Duan Tian, all were silent with gloom, for with Sky-piercing’s defeat, it meant that their hope for victory was now gone.
