Hoo...

In the sky, a gentle breeze blew.

The wind was not strong, yet it stirred the hearts of the two Great Sages.

Clang!

Snow Peak Great Sage was the first to draw his sacred sword. In an instant, a flash of sword light passed over the ancient city of Loulan, and the temperature in the air dropped to freezing point. The entire city of Loulan was coated in a layer of frost.

"Ten Thousand Miles of Drifting Snow!"

Snow Peak Great Sage shouted loudly, and a massive dharma form appeared behind him. He and his dharma form struck together with their swords, thrusting toward Thousand Mountain Great Sage.

Clang!

Accompanied by the sound of a sword's cry, snowflakes filled the sky in an instant.

Each snowflake, as it fell, transformed into a terrifying sword energy.

Seeing this scene, Thousand Mountain Great Sage snorted coldly: "Hmph! Snow Peak, it's been sixty years, and you still haven't made the slightest progress. You don't really think this level of sword energy can harm me, do you?"

As he spoke, Thousand Mountain Great Sage clenched his fists, slowly raising them before him. A golden light emanated from his body, then materialized into a hundred-zhang-tall dharma form standing between heaven and earth.

The sword energy struck the massive dharma form, emitting crisp, tinkling sounds.

Listening to these sounds, Thousand Mountain Great Sage wore a contemptuous expression, but soon a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Although the sword energy was blocked by his dharma form, wherever it landed, it also froze into ice.

In less time than it takes to drink a cup of tea, the massive dharma form had turned into a magnificent and spectacular ice sculpture.

The onlooking cultivators in the city of Loulan couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing this scene.

"The dharma form is freezing. Isn't this sword energy of the Snow Mountain Great Sage too terrifying?"

"I heard that Snow Peak Great Sage achieved enlightenment on the highest peak of the Extreme Cold Villa, Yaoxue Peak, becoming a Great Sage in one fell swoop, which is how he got his name. It seems his control over the extreme cold sword energy has long reached a state of perfection."

"..."

On the viewing platform, the cultivators of the four major forces subconsciously turned their gazes to their own ancestors.

The group of Great Sages did not speak, merely watching quietly as the two fought in the sky.

The sect master of the Northern Desert Sect still wore a teasing expression as he looked at the cultivators of the Extreme Cold Villa, his gaze finally landing on Bing Yan. He couldn't wait to see this beautiful Great Sage show a look of shock and bewilderment.

On the viewing platform of the Extreme Cold Villa, Han Ping stood behind Chu Feng and asked: "Master, does Uncle Snow Peak have a chance to win this battle?"

"It's difficult."

Chu Feng said faintly: "Unless Snow Peak Daoist can unleash a sword technique beyond Ten Thousand Miles of Drifting Snow, he might have a chance to fight for a draw, and that's only if Thousand Mountain is careless.

Right now, Snow Peak Daoist seems to have the upper hand, but he hasn't harmed Thousand Mountain's foundation. The next phase of this battle will be difficult."

As his words just fell, a series of cracking sounds came from the sky.

Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, only to see countless cracks appear on the ice sculpture dharma form.

Bang!

With a loud shattering sound, the ice sculpture instantly shattered apart.

Thousand Mountain Great Sage stood unharmed in the sky, but the disdain on his face was gone, and his expression had become serious.

"It seems that in this sixty-year period, you Snow Peak are not entirely useless. Now you are worthy of me fighting you with all my strength."

As his words fell, his body suddenly began to swell. Originally just over seven feet tall, he instantly became a ten-foot-tall giant. With bulging muscles, standing in the sky, he looked like a small giant.

"Mountains, come!!!"

Thousand Mountain Great Sage shouted loudly, and with a sweep of his hand into the sky, countless majestic and towering mountains appeared above his head.

These mountains were manifestations of his profound understanding of the Great Dao, but the sight of him holding up a thousand mountains with one hand created an extremely strong visual impact.

Many in the crowd had the same thought: If these towering mountains were to fall, wouldn't they all be done for?

Even Snow Peak Great Sage's expression became grave. This fellow was several points stronger than in the last sixty-year battle.

But today's battle was not a fight to the death with the other party; as long as he didn't lose too badly, it would be fine.

"Thousand Mountains Press Down!"

Thousand Mountain Great Sage wasted no more words, and the mountain in his hand fell toward Snow Peak Great Sage.

Hoo...

In the sky, a gentle breeze blew.

The wind was not strong, yet it stirred the hearts of the two Great Sages.

Clang!

Snow Peak Great Sage was the first to draw his sacred sword. In an instant, a flash of sword light passed over the ancient city of Loulan, and the temperature in the air dropped to freezing point. The entire city of Loulan was coated in a layer of frost.

"Ten Thousand Miles of Drifting Snow!"

Snow Peak Great Sage shouted loudly, and a massive dharma form appeared behind him. He and his dharma form struck together with their swords, thrusting toward Thousand Mountain Great Sage.

Clang!

Accompanied by the sound of a sword's cry, snowflakes filled the sky in an instant.

"Thousand Mountains Press Down!"

Thousand Mountain Great Sage wasted no more words, and the mountain in his hand fell toward Snow Peak Great Sage.

"One Sword to Seal Ten Thousand Miles!!!"

Snow Peak Great Sage unleashed his ultimate, trump card technique.

Clang!

Accompanied by the cry of a sword, a flash of cold light streaked across the sky.

In an instant, sword energy crisscrossed for tens of thousands of miles!

The majestic mountains in the sky were instantly frozen in large part, turning into ice shards that dissipated into the air.

But the remaining mountains still flew toward Snow Peak Great Sage.

Boom!!!

The mountains landed on Snow Peak Great Sage's body with a tremendous sound, and his entire figure fell from the sky.

The victory was decided!

Upon seeing this scene, the members of the Extreme Cold Villa cried out in alarm.

"Ancestor Snow Peak!"

Bang!

Snow Peak Great Sage landed on the duel platform, instantly flattening it. His body trembled uncontrollably.

But he still gritted his teeth and said: "This battle, this old man admits defeat."

"Excellent!!!"

A cheer erupted from the Northern Desert Sect's camp.

Snow Peak Great Sage, suppressing the surging blood qi within him, flew back toward the viewing platform.

"Ancestor, are you alright?"

The elders of the Extreme Cold Villa stepped forward to ask with concern.

"This old man is fine, but I have made the young lady worry."

Bing Yan spoke faintly: "You have worked hard, Ancestor. For now, please rest well and watch the next great unfold."

Hearing this, Snow Peak Great Sage asked respectfully: "May I ask, young lady, when do you intend to make your move?"

Bing Yan said with a smile: "I often hear my husband say that to catch a good fish, one must first bait the waters. Only with enough bait will the big fish take the hook."

At these words, Snow Peak Great Sage's eyes lit up, and he said to Bing Yan: "Then I shall trouble the young lady."

The victory of the Northern Desert Sect also made the other sects eager to try.

Just as Thousand Mountain Great Sage took his seat, the ruler of the Snow-Cleared Kingdom, a man in a pale yellow robe, stepped forward. He said with a smile: "I, King Anye, pay my respects to the Great Sage. I wonder if our Snow-Cleared Kingdom's Great Sage has the qualification to witness your grace?"

Bing Yan said faintly: "What do you wish to wager?"

King Anye of the Blade said with a smile: "A small border kingdom will suffice. I wonder if the Great Sage is willing to accept the challenge."

"Very well."

Bing Yan agreed without a second thought, but then she changed her tone: "However, our Extreme Cold Villa's Great Sage is already injured. For this battle, my Extreme Cold Villa admits defeat. The border kingdom will be incorporated into your Snow-Cleared Kingdom after the sixty-year battle."

At these words, the entire venue fell silent.

Even King Anye of the Blade was stunned. He hadn't expected that his casual probe would be met with such a straightforward admission of defeat. Had he known, he would have made a more audacious demand.

Even so, he could only cup his hands and say: "Thank you for the gift, Great Sage."

Only then did the audience in the martial arts arena come to their senses, erupting into a wave of discussion...
