Mo Qian then glanced at Mu Qingqing in the sky.
Although he had witnessed the senior female cultivator's strength in Stone Forest Valley, seeing her again now still filled him with immense awe.
Only a few years had passed, and this senior female cultivator had already reached the Two-star Great Emperor realm. Her cultivation speed was beyond his comprehension.
After subduing the three Great Emperor powerhouses of the Xin family, Mu Qingqing turned her attention to the battle between Xin Ci and Xin Li.
Under the powerful suppression of Xin Li's Dharma Manifestation, Xin Ci was initially defenseless.
"In the face of my Dharma Manifestation, you stand no chance!" Xin Li, confident of victory, looked down on Xin Ci with disdain.
Everyone also believed that Xin Ci's defeat was only a matter of time.
But they were unaware that Xin Ci still possessed stronger means yet to be revealed.
Xin Ci knew that if he could not break through Xin Li's Dharma Manifestation, all his efforts would be in vain.
It seemed that he could not defeat Xin Li with the sixth layer of the Asura Battle Technique alone.
Thus, Xin Ci gritted his teeth and circulated the true essence within his body.
Asura Battle Technique, seventh layer, break!
Asura Battle Technique, eighth layer, break!
In an instant, Xin Ci directly activated it to the eighth layer, which was currently the limit he could reach with this supreme true meaning.
Xin Ci's aura climbed with the activation of the eighth layer of the Asura Battle Technique.
Four-star Saint Emperor, peak Four-star Saint Emperor, Five-star Saint Emperor, peak Five-star Saint Emperor…
In a flash, Xin Ci's true essence realm was temporarily boosted to the level of a peak Saint Emperor through the Asura Battle Technique.
However, he was still one step away from Great Emperor.
The surrounding blood fiendish energy condensed further.
Seeing Xin Ci's aura surge, Xin Li was somewhat surprised.
But he was not worried, as the gap between Great Emperor and Saint Emperor was not easily bridged.
With the blood fiendish energy surrounding him, Xin Ci, at this moment, seemed to have transformed into a bloodthirsty Asura, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.
For some reason, Xin Li felt a sense of unease emanating from Xin Ci.
"I cannot let this brat continue to be so arrogant!"
Xin Li struck decisively, a golden beam of light shooting from the eyes of his Dharma Manifestation.
This beam was condensed with incomparable Great Emperor true essence, its power sufficient to pierce through the void and shatter space.
However, when this beam reached in front of Xin Ci, it was dispersed by a mass of red mist.
Upon closer inspection, Xin Ci was enveloped in the red mist.
The next second, this blood mist condensed into an Asura demon god, no less imposing than Xin Li's Dharma Manifestation.
Asura Demon God Image!
This was a divine ability that could only be used after cultivating the Asura Battle Technique to the third stage.
If an ordinary Saint Emperor were to use the Asura Demon God Image, their true essence would be depleted in less than three breaths.
But Xin Ci was different; he possessed a dual-colored true essence sea, and his internal true essence far surpassed that of cultivators at the same level.
Coupled with the Eternal Dao Scripture, his true essence recovery speed was accelerated.
Li Fulong from the same Kill Heart Sacred Court, witnessing this, looked at the Asura Demon God Image with surprise.
He had joined the Kill Heart Sacred Court around the same time as Xin Ci, but his Yama Battle Technique had only reached the fourth layer so far, while Xin Ci's Asura Battle Technique had already entered the eighth layer, which astonished him greatly.
Xin Ci's Asura Demon God Image and Xin Li's Dharma Manifestation stood in opposition.
To the onlookers below, the confrontation between these two colossal beings was beyond their reach.
One side was engulfed in blood energy, the other in golden light.
The Asura Demon God Image was locked in a fierce battle with Xin Li's Dharma Manifestation.
Xin Li, who had already lost face as a Great Emperor by being pushed to use his Dharma Manifestation by a mere Saint Emperor, was even more enraged. Furthermore, he couldn't even subdue Xin Ci with his Dharma Manifestation, which made Xin Li furious: "You're just a brat, don't be so arrogant!"
With that, Xin Li circulated his true essence, his eyes flashing with intense killing intent.
The Dharma Manifestation extended a finger towards the Asura Demon God Image, and a large expanse of black flames emerged from its fingertip.
These black flames exuded an aura of death; the onlookers below, upon merely glancing at the peculiar flames, had more than half of their true essence incinerated.
"That is the Xin family's supreme true meaning, the Demonic Flame Finger!" someone below recognized Xin Li's technique and exclaimed.
"The Xin family head has even used the Demonic Flame Finger to deal with a Saint Emperor!"
"The Demonic Flame Finger is the Xin family's signature technique, its power is extraordinary!"
"Can Xin Ci withstand it?"
…
Others chattered one after another.
Xin Ci felt an unprecedented sense of danger from that finger emanating peculiar black flames.
This single strike might not even be something his Asura Demon God Image could withstand.
But he did not panic in the slightest.
Besides the Asura Battle Technique, Xin Ci had other moves.
The Eternal Dao Scripture was the only divine-tier cultivation technique on the Eternal Continent. Xin Ci had always heeded Elder Han's teachings, not to reveal this technique until his strength was sufficiently powerful.
Now, it was time to showcase the true might of the Eternal Dao Scripture.
Xin Ci closed his eyes slightly and brought his palms together.
Swirls appeared in the left and right hands of the Asura Demon God Image, one black and one white, representing two opposing extreme forces.
Xin Ci guided the Asura Demon God Image to merge these swirls, ultimately forming an Yin-Yang Reincarnation Diagram in front of him.
Facing the approaching Demonic Flame Finger, this Yin-Yang Reincarnation Diagram began to rotate on its own.
Eternal Dao Scripture, Eternal Reincarnation Diagram!
"Ridiculous, do you think this technique of yours can block my Xin family's supreme true meaning?" Xin Li taunted.
Xin Ci sneered in response, "Let's find out."
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, the Eternal Reincarnation Diagram collided with the Demonic Flame Finger, releasing intense energy fluctuations.
Everyone was almost suffocated by the formidable energy pressure.
The two forces were locked in a stalemate for a brief moment before Xin Li's face turned ashen with terror. "Impossible! This is impossible!"
He couldn't believe that Xin Ci's Eternal Reincarnation Diagram was madly devouring the energy of the Demonic Flame Finger.
The Eternal Reincarnation Diagram grew stronger, and the Demonic Flame Finger dissipated within seconds.
Furthermore, the Reincarnation Diagram did not stop; it moved directly towards Xin Li's Dharma Manifestation.
Boom!
A massive explosion echoed through the sky, the cloud cover being dispersed, revealing a clear sky.
When everyone could open their eyes again.
Xin Li's Dharma Manifestation had been shattered and disintegrated. He, along with his shattered Dharma Manifestation, spat blood and plummeted from mid-air towards the ground.
Xin Li's hair was disheveled, his face pale, and his clothes were in tatters.
He had long lost the dignity of the Xin family head, appearing instead like a tattered old beggar.
Xin Ci also landed on the ground. He appeared to be in no better condition, clutching his chest and immediately adjusting his state, quickly circulating his cultivation technique to restore his true essence.
This scene stunned everyone.
It seemed the victor had been decided.
The Xin family stronghold fell silent!
Everyone, at this moment, seemed to have lost their voices, their faces frozen in shock, devoid of any words.
No one had expected that Xin Ci, with his Four-star Saint Emperor strength, could actually defeat Xin Li, a One-star Great Emperor!
