Thunderous roars continually echoed across the sky as two figures, one white and one gray, ceaselessly shifted their positions in the air. Every time one paused, earth-shattering vibrations erupted, the sound reverberating through the mountains and carrying far into the distance.

"Weak, weak, still too weak! Haven't you eaten?" the youth in white chuckled, a hint of disdain flickering across his face.

"Try this move!" Chen Feng's eyebrows shot up, his fist suddenly generating a cascade of flames as he hammered towards his opponent: "One Hundred and Fourteenth Style: Arashi Yaburi (Savage Bite)!"

Arashi Yaburi was the first technique Chen Feng had mastered, making it feel incredibly natural to use. Now, infused with his merged strength, the execution unleashed flames roaring like a tempest, possessing immense might.

"Now that shows some promise!" the white-clad youth said with a lazy smile, moving with lightning speed. He thrust his fist forward, summoning a sphere of golden light to meet the attack head-on.

Golden Crystal Fist!

Among the Five Elements Fist Styles, the Metal attribute possessed the greatest offensive power. As the golden light and flames clashed, a massive shockwave rippled through the air, spreading out like concentric water rings, charging directly toward Chen Feng.

The white-clad youth was forced back dozens of steps in the air by the impact of the punch. A flicker of surprise crossed his face, quickly replaced by his usual languid smirk.

"A punch like that isn't even qualified to scratch me. Do you really think you can injure me with this move?"

"Is that so?" Chen Feng asked, suddenly raising both hands above him. A brilliant light burst from his wrists, and his entire body lunged toward his opponent in the air like a specter.

Forbidden Style: One Thousand Two Hundred and Eleventh Style. Yata no Kagami (Eight Maidens)!

Blood-red flames whipped frantically around his palms as his claws, rigid as steel structures, slashed out at the youth.

"That move again!" the white-clad youth laughed contemptuously. "Why do you only use moves that are useless against me?"

With that, he pointed a finger forward, and an earth-yellow wall instantly materialized before him, acting as an impregnable barrier that instantly blocked Chen Feng's path. The powerful Yata no Kagami struck the barrier; flames churned, and stone dust billowed, yet Chen Feng used the force of the impact to punch through the barrier and surge forward.

Thump!

The residual force of the Yata no Kagami slammed into the white-clad youth, sending him flying backward, tumbling over twice before landing.

"Hmm?" He hadn't expected Chen Feng's Yata no Kagami to possess such power, penetrating the stone wall and knocking him back. A sound of surprise escaped him, and the scorn in his eyes shifted to something more peculiar.

"A bit interesting!" he snorted, his gaze hardening as he looked at Chen Feng again, completely discarding his previous dismissal. "I didn't expect you to have this trick. Your rate of growth truly exceeds my expectations! However... do you truly think this is enough to harm me?"

Seeing the youth's continued arrogance, Chen Feng spoke in a low, slow voice, "Whether it harms you or not isn't decided by words!"

Without hesitation, he lifted his left hand and extended his right arm forward, unleashing Forbidden Style: One Hundred and Eighth Style. Orochi no Nage (Serpent Throw)! A gigantic flame, like a fiery dragon, hurtled toward the white-clad youth.

The white-clad youth seemed to recognize the immense power of Orochi no Nage and instantly conjured a massive water dragon before him to meet the fire dragon head-on.

Water and fire collided, once again erupting in a deafening roar.

"Such strong energy fluctuations. What is happening up ahead?" Jin Ling glanced at Dulutes beside him, a look of confusion surfacing on his face.

"I find this power very familiar, it feels like Chen Feng's. Let's hurry over and check it out!" Dulutes replied.

"Yes, now that you mention it, it really does resemble him. Could someone be fighting him?" Jin Ling exclaimed in surprise. "I really want to see who could possibly battle someone as monstrous as him. Let's go!"

"Chen Feng? He is my opponent!" Leidi, who had been trailing behind the two, muttered under his breath, instantly streaking away into the distance like a meteor.

——————————————————————————————————

In a desolate, silent valley, a sudden explosion occurred, and three figures shot out from the mountain's interior simultaneously. Powerful auras emanated from all three, causing the captive demonic beasts on the ground to scatter instantly as if they had encountered their natural predator. Though the valley was their territory, none dared to provoke these three individuals.

"Good, we finally reached the Saint Domain!" Bens breathed out, glancing at Iheart and Mary nearby, grinning widely.

"I originally thought it would take two months, but we managed to reach and stabilize the Saint Domain cultivation in such a short time," Iheart said, smiling. "If we showed up before Chen Feng and the others now, they’d probably be quite shocked!"

"Shocked, perhaps not, but surprised is inevitable!" Mary shook her head.

All three shared a moment of self-satisfaction. Achieving Saint Domain strength in such a brief period was, of course, heavily due to the Purple Essence Vine Fruit, but it also reflected their exceptional innate talent.

"Huh? Such intense energy fluctuations over there!" Bens suddenly cried out.

The other two closed their eyes to sense the energy, and when they reopened them, threads of terror appeared in their pupils.

"This... this seems to be a battle energy wave originating from a clash tens of thousands of miles away... To feel the power of both sides from such a distance! What kind of mighty experts are these two?" Energy waves from combat naturally diminish with distance. When Dou Zun level masters fight, experts of the same rank a hundred miles away can sense the battle; Saint Domain battles can affect thousands of kilometers. But to have peers tens of thousands of miles away sensing the aftershock—this level of power absolutely surpassed what a mere Saint Domain could achieve.

"Could they be two God-level experts?" Mary whispered, not quite believing herself, a cold knot forming in her stomach.

"Let's go see. I feel a familiar aura. We'll know what's going on once we get there!" Bens declared, unfurling his domain and charging toward the epicenter of the energy fluctuation first.

Chen Feng was unaware that his battle with the white-clad youth had drawn the attention of every powerful entity across the entire continent.

The Five Elements Fists moved in the hands of the white-clad youth as if they possessed a soul. Despite the sharpness of Chen Feng's attacks, they were consistently parried and returned.

Chen Feng let out a breath, feeling a slight urgency. Though the opponent was arrogant, his strength was terrifyingly abnormal. Chen Feng had already deployed 50% of his merged power, yet the youth still had surplus energy to mock him.

Closing his eyes slightly, Chen Feng suddenly roared, his muscles swelling violently, expanding by a full size in an instant—Gaining Aura!

Chen Feng rarely utilized Gaining Aura—a technique to boost power within a short duration—since gaining strength; opponents usually fell before he could even deploy it. This white-clad youth, despite his irritating demeanor, was someone Chen Feng genuinely wished to have a true fight with, otherwise, where was the fun?

"Taste this!" Chen Feng roared, unleashing his full might. He brought his hands together, and a massive energy sphere shot forth from between his arms!

Merged Power at 70%! Ryo Sakazaki’s Haohoukyaku (Overlord Hurricane Fist)! The colossal energy sphere radiated blinding light as it shot toward the white-clad youth. Wherever the sphere passed, space instantly shattered into countless fragments, and chaotic spatial turbulence whipped around like a gale.

"That actually looks somewhat impressive!" the white-clad youth commented with a smile. He shoved both palms forward forcefully, dazzling white light erupting from his hands: "For the effort you took, I'll show you my strongest Five Elements Fist! Ah, no, how is that possible..." The white-clad youth suddenly shrieked, rapidly dodging sideways, but before he could fully evade, his vision blurred, and a wrist like a steel claw appeared directly at his chest!

Riiip!

A large section of his chest garment was torn away, and his muscle was sliced open, drawing blood. Immediately after, a fist struck towards his face! The white-clad youth hastily raised both arms to block, but as the fist neared, Chen Feng's lips curled into a smirk, the fist transformed into fingers, and he jabbed directly at the youth's face!

"Ah..." The white-clad youth saw a flash of white light, felt a sharp impact on his head as if he had slammed into glass—Crack—and a thin crimson line of blood began to trickle down his forehead.

Seizing the advantage, Chen Feng instantly wrapped both arms around the opponent's arms, violently tossing his head skyward, executing Close-Quarters Super Special Move, Benimaru Nikaido’s Dai Dempa (Great Generator)!

Thick bolts of lightning immediately began to lash down toward the white-clad youth's head, centered on the two of them. Deep crimson sparks danced around them, appearing ferocious.

Benimaru Nikaido’s Dai Dempa and Raikōken possessed almost identical power levels; both were Super Special Move Fists, falling into the same tier as Orochi no Nage.

Hiss...

The electric arcs engulfed the white-clad youth, licking across his body like tongues of flame. Chen Feng abruptly pulled back his hands at this moment, clenching his fists and hammering once more toward the opponent's chest!

A scarlet, firework-like projectile pierced directly into the opponent's abdomen. Simultaneously, Chen Feng violently seized the youth's shoulders and arms, throwing him outward with immense force!

The colossal momentum hurled the white-clad youth directly into the path of the previously unleashed Haohoukyaku. Chen Feng hovered to one side, watching as the Haohoukyaku and the white-clad youth collided, resulting in a massive explosion. Chen Feng gasped for air, his chest heaving. Though the exchange lasted only moments, it had nearly exhausted his spirit and strength. In less than three seconds, he had executed seven different moves with seven different attributes!

First, the Haohoukyaku, immediately followed by ghost steps to close the distance to the youth's front, then Iori Yagami's Gaiden: Kage Buri (Outer Style: Shadow Dance), Yume Dama (Dream Bullet), connecting into Orochi's Kamishiro (God's Finger). After these four consecutive strikes, he used Dai Dempa, followed by Leona's Reisensha (Spinning Spark), and the final move, throwing the opponent, was Goro Daimon's ultimate technique, Tenchi Hangeki (Heaven and Earth Reversal)!

Ranging from long-distance to close-quarters combat, this sequence of techniques flowed from Chen Feng's hands like magic. The application of strategy and King of Fighters skill maximized the power of these ordinary moves, allowing him to strike even the immensely powerful white-clad youth amidst the dazzling display!
