If this were the Immortal World, the so-called sparring between Evan Chen and Bruce Meng would be akin to a street fight between ordinary people.
But this is the Cultivation World. Their duel is a clash between two titans standing at the pinnacle of the world, and its destructive power is terrifying.
"Evan, how about we change locations and set up a formation before we fight? We wouldn't want to destroy your palace," Bruce Meng suggested.
Evan Chen smiled faintly and said, "Daniel, you're overthinking it. Though my palace is of average quality, destroying it with just our power would be nothing short of a fool's dream."
Evan's palace was formed by an Immortal Talisman.
In the Immortal World, it could only manifest as a thatched hut.
But in the Lower Realm, where the rules of heaven and earth are weakened countless times, the palace formed by the Immortal Talisman naturally became a top-tier Immortal Palace.
How could a top-tier Immortal Palace be destroyed by two cultivators of the Immortal Realm?
Hearing this, Bruce Meng and Daniel Ge were secretly astonished. To possess such a high-grade Immortal Palace, Evan must have an extraordinary background!
Immediately, Bruce Meng laughed heartily and said, "I underestimated you. So, Evan, how do you want to compete? Should we go all out or just a friendly match?"
Evan had already considered this. Although he had reached the Fourth Immortal Realm, he hadn't practiced any lethal techniques.
If they went all out, he might easily reveal his weaknesses.
So, Evan said, "Since this is our first meeting, we shouldn't harm our relationship. I think a single palm strike to determine the winner would suffice. What do you think, Daniel?"
Before Bruce Meng could respond, Daniel Ge quickly said, "Evan is right. If you two Immortal Realm experts go all out, I, a mere Land Immortal, wouldn't even dare to get close. It would be quite disappointing."
Bruce Meng also felt that they made sense. "Alright, let's settle it with a single palm strike. Evan, I take things seriously and won't hold back. I hope you'll give it your all too."
Evan made a gesture of invitation, his expression serious. "Of course, please!"
The three of them soared into the air and landed in the martial hall within the sect.
They stood opposite each other, their Immortal Power already boiling within them.
In an instant, the entire hall was filled with radiant Immortal light, and the powerful aura caused some of the world's laws to become chaotic.
Daniel Ge, standing in this chaotic hall, felt as if he was about to be torn apart.
"The Immortal Realm is truly profound!" Daniel's face flushed as he couldn't help but exclaim.
"Evan, I'm going to strike!"
"Come!"
Evan shouted softly and was the first to strike.
His palm was already covered in a thick layer of golden light.
With one strike, the space trembled!
A trace of fear flashed in Bruce Meng's eyes.
He hadn't expected Evan's Immortal Power to be so immense, and he dared not be careless.
"Space Shatter!"
Bruce Meng roared, directly using a supreme palm technique he had found in the ancient forbidden zone.
This palm technique resonated with the world's laws, forcibly elevating his palm power to a higher level.
Two palms with the power to destroy the heavens and earth collided in an instant.
The space rippled, spreading out from the point of impact.
"Hah!"
Feeling the terrifying space fluctuations, Daniel Ge quickly retreated and activated a protective shield with his pseudo-Immortal Power.
Boom!
The sound of a starry sky shattering echoed through the hall.
Bruce Meng's eyes widened.
The strength of Evan's palm was like a star falling from deep space!
Despite his best efforts, he couldn't dissipate that terrifying power and was forced back dozens of steps!
In contrast, Evan calmly retracted his palm, standing motionless.
The winner was clear!
Bruce Meng was stunned, his internal energy in turmoil, and he had already suffered internal injuries.
After a moment, he snapped out of his shock and cupped his hands with a bitter smile. "Evan, your cultivation is unparalleled. I overestimated myself and admit my defeat wholeheartedly."
Evan, hiding his nearly numb right arm behind his back, was also not calm inside.
Because during the fight, he had used his mental power, comparable to a Profound Immortal, to probe Bruce Meng's realm. He had just stepped into the Second Immortal Realm.
He was two minor realms higher than Bruce Meng!
Even so, Bruce Meng, using his techniques, only lost by a small margin!
This showed how much his techniques enhanced his combat power!
"If he were at the same realm as me, I would surely lose!"
Evan was surprised but also deeply understood the importance of practicing techniques.
"We were merely comparing Immortal Power. In terms of martial skills, I might not be able to surpass Daniel."
After a moment of contemplation, Evan smiled and spoke.
"Evan, you're too modest. In terms of Immortal Power, I am not your equal. How could I dare compare techniques with you?"
Bruce Meng thought, with such a solid Immortal Palace, Evan must have a powerful background. How could he not have formidable Immortal techniques?
"Senior Brother, Evan, can you two stop ignoring this injured person?"
Hearing the weak cry, both turned their heads to find Daniel Ge already collapsed from the residual Immortal Power.
This was truly a case of Immortals fighting and Land Immortals suffering.
"Junior Brother, are you alright? Let me heal you."
Bruce Meng walked over to help Daniel Ge, preparing to use his Immortal Power to heal him.
Evan immediately took out two Immortal Crystals and sent them over with his Immortal Power. "Daniel, these two little things, one for each of you, will greatly help with healing."
"Thank you, Evan."
Bruce Meng thought Evan had given them two Elixirs and accepted them casually.
"Huh?"
When the Immortal Crystals fell into his hand, Bruce Meng felt something was off.
"These… these are Immortal Crystals!"
Bruce Meng stared at the two lotus seed-like Immortal Crystals in his palm and exclaimed in surprise.
Immediately, he stood up and cupped his hands. "Evan, Immortal Crystals are too precious. My Junior Brother and I can't accept them."
Evan waved his hand grandly and said, "Immortal Crystals are indeed valuable, but not more than the friendship between us. If you don't accept them, wouldn't that be looking down on me?"
Bruce Meng, already in the Second Immortal Realm, had a high chance of advancing to the Sixth Immortal Realm and gaining the qualification to ascend to the Immortal World.
Making friends with him now would mean having another ally in the Immortal World.
In the Immortal World, it wasn't easy for ordinary people to make friends with an Ascendant.
Seeing Evan's generosity, Bruce Meng no longer hesitated and laughed heartily. "Thank you, Evan. From now on, the three of us are close friends. If you need anything, it's as if my Junior Brother and I need it, and as if my sect needs it."
"Yes, yes." Daniel Ge also nodded repeatedly. "It's our great fortune to befriend you, Evan. Cough, cough…"
Then, Bruce Meng began to heal himself and Daniel Ge.
During the process, Evan noticed that Bruce Meng preferred to use his Immortal Power to extend the healing time rather than consume the Immortal Crystals, only using half a crystal.
There was no helping it. For low-level Immortal cultivators, Immortal Crystals were a rare and precious cultivation resource, and he was reluctant to use them up.
After recovering, Bruce Meng stood up and said, "Evan, it's impolite not to reciprocate. I have a scroll of 'Raging Waves Sword Art,' which I found in a forbidden zone. I hope you won't mind."
A scroll of ancient Immortal Sword Art from the forbidden zone!
Its value was no less than two Immortal Crystals.
Moreover, Evan had a Pure Sword Body, making him most suited to practice sword techniques.
"Daniel, you're too kind."
Evan accepted the Sword Art with peace of mind, eager to start practicing.
"Young Master, I've found those people. Please give your orders," Li Huaizhen's voice came through.
Li Huaizhen had been waiting outside the hall for a long time, only speaking after sensing the calm inside.
"Good! I want to see who dares to mess with my people!"
The sect had only been established for half a year, and the sect leader had already been attacked. If this grudge wasn't avenged, how could they continue to survive in the Lower Realm?
