"Chaos Hole."
Qing Yu merged Yin Yang, gained insight into the Destruction intent of Emperor Qi Tian, and created an Extreme Move that now appeared in the world for the first time.
Silent desolation eradicated all sounds, the chaotic Chaos Hole concealed Qing Yu's figure, and touched the Xuan Yuan One Qi released by Xuan Du.
"——"
Utterly silent without even a trace of momentum, yet astonishment appeared for the first time on Xuan Du's ancient, unrippled face.
Xuan Yuan One Qi was negated, the endless Chaos Hole expanding.
Without a doubt, this move was not just a mere forceful resistance like before but truly possessed the power to contend with Xuan Yuan One Qi.
For Xuan Du, who had been unmatched in power since his debut, this was the first time someone at the same Realm had contended against him.
"Daoist, you indeed are no ordinary person."
Xuan Du concealed his surprise, gathering Xuan Yuan One Qi within himself.
Disperse to form Qi, gather to form the Supreme. This involved gathering all the Heaven and Earth Qi around and forming limitless great power.
"Please receive this punch."
A seemingly ordinary punch, yet like the combined strength of Heaven and Earth, empowered amply. The limitless strength overwhelmed with this punch, though it still seemed ordinary and even lacked the inducing of any air movements, but Qing Yu, shrouded in a void, directly sensed an immense, catastrophic force enveloping him, deeply permeating his spirit with a sense of great danger.
"Hmm—"
Qing Yu lightly exhaled, suppressing the constantly destructive Qi Mechanism inside his body, the extreme expansion of the Chaos Hole, enveloping this ordinary yet tremendously powerful punch.
"——"
Without any sound, the chaotic Chaos Hole vanished, revealing the figure of the White-haired Daoist resisting Xuan Du's approaching punch, standing quietly.
Simultaneously, Xuan Du as Qing Yu's opponent also maintained his punching posture, motionless for a long time.
After a long while, Qing Yu first moved, retracting his right hand that was clutching Xuan Du's fist and hung it by his side.
As he moved, the surrounding vegetation fell silently like accumulated fake dust, turning into ash and scattering with the wind.
In the spot where Qing Yu and Xuan Du stood, within hundreds of meters, all flora silently dissolved into dust, dispersing into the air.
"Supreme Taoist Sect, truly worthy as the direct transmission from the Dao Ancestor," Qing Yu spoke softly.
Xuan Du slowly retracted his fist, deeply looking at Qing Yu, and said, "Daoist, it's really you. This is the first time I've met someone as extraordinarily talented as you. Today, meeting you made me realize I had indeed been somewhat narrow-minded before."
His tone remained calm, but the astonishment contained within was quite evident.
Since Xuan Du had cultivated the "Supreme Heaven Opening Scripture," any enemy he faced would willingly admit defeat once he dispersed Xuan Yuan One Qi to merge with Heaven and Earth.
Like Qing Yu, who contended against Xuan Yuan One Qi and matched the Grand Momentum of Heaven and Earth collected by Xuan Du, such people were indeed a first encounter for him.
Unbeknownst to him, Qing Yu was equally astonished. Since obtaining the system and coming down from the mountain, although Qing Yu had continuously encountered various powerful beings, he had never been at a disadvantage with opponents of the same Realm.
Even Xin Hui the Monk, who had made Qing Yu cough up blood with his Arhat Fist, was driven into Deviation by Qing Yu's tactics, nearly losing his life. But today was the first time Qing Yu faced an unprecedented formidable opponent.
Xuan Du's power was comparable to Qing Yu, but in terms of Mental State, Martial Arts, and physique, he was in no way inferior to Qing Yu, who seemed to be cheating. Moreover, in terms of Martial Arts, the "Supreme Heaven Opening Scripture" even slightly outperformed the Five and a Half Stars "Heaven and Earth Supreme Skill."
When the two dueled, Qing Yu was completely unable to absorb any Earth Essence Qi with the "Earth Dominating Technique." All the Primordial Energy and Essence Qi were controlled and absorbed by Xuan Du, leaving Qing Yu unable to absorb even the slightest bit. The Absolute Skill of Fu Xi from another world had actually lost to the heritage of a Dao Ancestor of this world.
If it weren't for the newly created "Chaos Hole," Qing Yu, without resorting to his ultimate move, would have been completely defeated.
Both harboring their thoughts, they looked at each other and remained silent for a long time.
After a while, Qing Yu spoke, "I wonder, Daoist, what are your plans next?"
"I originally planned to travel all the way to Ji Province to attend the Debating Conference on the ninth day of the first lunar month, but now..."
Xuan Du looked at Qing Yu and slowly shook his head, "After meeting Daoist, I have lost interest in what you call the Debating Conference. I will return to the Supreme Taoist Sect to reflect on what I've learned from this spar and strive to progress further."
Regardless of how the Debating Conference went, the Supreme Taoist Sect was the ultimate leader among the Taoist sects. The Supreme Taoist, ranked first on the Heavenly List, dominantly suppresses the world, unbeatable, with no sect daring to challenge the authority of the Supreme Taoist Sect.
Even for this Debating Conference, the Supreme Taoist Sect would attend only because Xuan Du wanted to see the skills of various masters.
For someone of the stature of the Supreme Taoist, the Debating Conference was not worthy of his participation.
"If that's so, Daoist, until next time." Qing Yu remained stationary but nodded slightly.
"Mm, until next time."
Xuan Du, seemingly unaffected by what might be seen as Qing Yu's mildly rude gesture, also nodded slightly and turned to leave directly.
After turning around, Xuan Du expressionlessly wiped away the blood leaking from the corner of his mouth.
The two parted abruptly just like that.
It wasn't until Xuan Du's figure had vanished far into the woods hundreds of meters away that Qing Yu, still standing in the same spot, incredibly struggled to raise his hand and looked down at the cracks on it, resembling those on porcelain.
Qing Yu was wounded, severely wounded. If he hadn't been, he wouldn't have refrained from making even a minimal courteous gesture.
Of course, the same applied to Xuan Du, otherwise, he wouldn't have left directly.
The move "Chaos Hole" was harmful to both the user and the opponent; the first person it harmed was Qing Yu. Moreover, it caused deep harm, with even the Golden Bell Shield at the Tenth Level barely managing to protect him.
If it weren't for Qing Yu's recent success in cultivating the Power of Regeneration, he wouldn't have dared to use this move rashly.
"But if I didn't use this move, I couldn't have withstood Xuan Du's attacks," Qing Yu thought as he looked at the cracks on his hand, a trace of gloom flashing through his eyes.
Xuan Du's power set off an alarm in Qing Yu's heart. In the past, people more powerful than Qing Yu were those in a realm far beyond him, and those of a realm similar to Qing Yu's posed no problem, as Qing Yu could handle ten at a time.
But Xuan Du was unlike any opponent Qing Yu had ever encountered.
"The Supreme Taoist Sect, a direct disciple of the Dao Ancestor, indeed is incomparable to the average person. It seems I must hasten my steps."
Both participants in this spar had gained significantly. By the next time they met, Xuan Du would be even stronger.
What Qing Yu needed to do was to progress faster than Xuan Du.
This task was extremely difficult.
Although Xuan Du was at least thirty-something years older than Qing Yu, this did not mean he would progress slower than Qing Yu. With the Supreme Taoist, ranked first on the Heavenly List, as his master, Xuan Du had sufficient foundation to quickly assimilate his gains and advance further.
As for Qing Yu, it was somewhat difficult. After all, his cheap master had passed away ten years ago.
Moreover, even if Xuanfa were still alive, he wouldn't be able to guide Qing Yu. The two cultivated different techniques, and Xuanfa was not a Supreme Taoist.
