The sun was still high up in the sky, and the mountains looked even more green under the sunlight. Gusts of wind blew through the mountain peaks, and the huge arena seemed very spacious.
The two masters stood facing each other. Both of their livestreams were silent. The battle had not yet begun, but the austere atmosphere made people feel very nervous.
Ding Meng quietly sized up the most legendary character of the Galactic Combat Carnival. From the outside, Lei Jingtian was too ordinary. His looks were ordinary, his body was ordinary, and his clothes were ordinary. He and Ding Meng were similar in that they would not stand out in a crowd.
However, Ding Meng's identity could still be uncovered. As for who Lei Jingtian was, he had been a mystery for the past 15 years. Even the Federation's best information-gathering organization could not find a single trace of this person. However, one thing was certain. In reality, Lei Jingtian was definitely not a nobody. He was definitely a famous master.
The Lei Jingtian in front of him was about 1.72 meters tall, about the same height as Ding Meng. He was also short and skinny, and he wore the most common running jersey. From his appearance, he was middle-aged, probably around 70 years old. His face was yellow with a tinge of black, and he looked sickly. However, his eyes were deep and unfathomable.
Lei Jingtian was also sizing up this new star. He could not see through Ding Meng, but his attitude was not hostile. "Hello!"
Ding Meng nodded. "Hello!"
Lei Jingtian said, "Congratulations!"
Ding Meng asked, "What are you congratulating me for?"
Lei Jingtian said, "You have been chosen!"
This was a very difficult sentence to understand. Most people understood it as: Congratulations on being chosen as my opponent. Your journey in the Storm Gathering will end here.
However, Ding Meng did not think so. Lei Jingtian's gaze was very calm, so calm that there was no trace of emotion. At least, Ding Meng could not feel his opponent's fighting spirit.
Lei Jingtian finally said something shocking. "Tian Xuan, you understand!"
Tian Xuan meant that he was chosen by the heavens. This was a special term used by the Mou Xing civilization's Shenguang Technology. Could Lei Jingtian also be a Shenguang martial artist?
Just as Ding Meng was thinking about this, a fierce aura suddenly appeared in front of him. This energy was so strong that Ding Meng almost couldn't open his eyes.
Lei Jingtian's entire body emitted a formless Genesis Flame. Not only was his aura powerful, but he was also able to precisely control his aura within the arena. Based on this alone, Ding Meng did not dare to underestimate him.
Ding Meng also began to circulate the Origin, and a powerful aura spread out. His entire body burned like a raging inferno.
In the eyes of the audience, the two contestants were just standing there quietly, unwilling to make a move for a long time. This was very strange. In fact, the battle between the two had already begun invisibly. In the eyes of each other, the image of each of them had become bigger. This was what an expert should look like.
The eruption of their auras didn't stop at all. Their Origin Energy index soared like crazy. "100 billion, 110 billion, 120 billion, 130 billion, 140 billion … …"
Both of them were steadily increasing their Origin Energy. This was because their train of thought was surprisingly similar. There was no need to fight between Battle-Saints and Battle-Gods. Even if they fought, they wouldn't be able to determine a winner. It was better to directly increase their Origin Energy and see whose foundation was stronger.
Origin Energy index didn't represent overall strength, but it was the most basic foundation of overall strength. If you couldn't even win against this basic foundation, then there was no need to continue fighting.
Lei Jingtian's Origin Energy index was still rising, and Ding Meng didn't fall behind either. The first five Origin points, the first eight Origin points, the first ten Origin points, the first three Diamond Forms … … He pushed his Origin Energy index to the limit, surging forward like crazy.
Finally, when both of their Origin Energy indexes reached 300 billion, the two of them stopped at the same time.
Fortunately, Ling Xingqi wasn't on this map. If she was, she would probably be scared out of her wits. Ding Meng's Origin Energy index could be increased to such a high level. If she had known earlier, she would have just surrendered in the previous round. There wouldn't have been any need to fight.
Ding Meng was also quite surprised. He was now certain that Lei Jingtian had hidden his strength very well in the previous rounds. He had only revealed his true strength at the crucial moment.
Lei Jingtian once again examined Ding Meng. His eyes were filled with surprise and joy, but his tone was very calm. "Not bad!"
Ding Meng being able to keep up with his pace was already quite commendable.
Lei Jingtian slowly raised his left hand and slowly placed it in front of his chest. Just when everyone thought that he was going to make a move, a crisp "kacha" sound rang out. A bronze-colored object appeared on his left wrist.
Jun Ling, who was in the VIP room, immediately stood up in shock. "Divine Light Bracer?"
Ding Meng was also a bit surprised. "I didn't expect you to have one too!"
Lei Jingtian calmly gazed at him. "Watch carefully!"
The bracer suddenly emitted a dazzling cold light. Then, it slowly transformed into a glowing eye. The glowing eye then began to change shape. A moment later, it transformed into the image of a short and fierce one-handed halberd.
At this moment, Ding Meng was dumbstruck.
On Planet V12's Divine Arrow Spaceship, Little Rascal and Little Love also stood up in shock.
This bracer was the one that had been lost on the Kun Peng Spaceship. This was Little Rascal's Divine Light weapon. Who would have thought that it would fall into Lei Jingtian's hands?
Ding Meng's expression was grave. There was no way for him to know the truth behind this situation. He only knew one thing, and that was that this one-handed halberd was a true divine weapon. Its power was not to be underestimated. Lei Jingtian in front of him seemed to be an unprecedented enemy.
Lei Jingtian's expression still didn't change. "Where is your weapon?"
At this moment, Ding Meng actually calmed down. "The saber is here!"
Lei Jingtian asked, "Where is the saber?"
Ding Meng calmly said, "I don't have a saber in my hands, but I have a saber in my heart."
Lei Jingtian's eyes flashed with a hint of praise. "Good, you really do understand. You really are an expert. Then pay attention!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his entire body transformed into a streak of light. It was like an electric arc that suddenly appeared in an experimental field, twisting, strange, and swift.
This situation was exactly the same as Little Rascal's massacre on the Kun Peng Spaceship. It was so fast that it didn't give you any time to react. The streak of light was like a curtain that directly rolled toward Ding Meng, instantly surrounding him. Then, the streak of light began to spin. It looked like a glowing cocoon, emitting a sharp rustling sound.
If the two of them didn't want to fight, then they wouldn't fight. As soon as they started fighting, they used their ultimate moves. Who knew what was going on with Ding Meng inside the cocoon?
Ding Meng was definitely feeling extremely uncomfortable. When the flowing light surrounded him, he immediately felt a burning pain all over his body. His skin and muscles had been tempered thousands of times by origin energy. Even he felt like he was on fire. It was easy to imagine that if it was anyone else, they would have died on the spot.
The power of this cocoon-like barrier was not to be underestimated. In addition to the burning pain on his skin, the rotation of his Origin points was also slowing down. It was as if a furnace had formed around him, squeezing him inside. The pressure was enough to crush him to pieces.
Ding Meng had never seen this kind of Divine Light martial technique before. He also knew that this was equivalent to Little Rascal's ultimate move.
Ding Meng clasped his palms together and rotated the first five diamond-shaped Origin points. Then, he stretched out his limbs and violently shook them in all directions. This was the most powerful "Overlord's Mountain Crumbling Force".
A scene that shocked the entire world appeared. From high up in the sky, with Ding Meng at the center, a white energy wave rippled out from the arena. It spread out in all directions like a stream of water. It spread over the mountain peak, down the mountain, down the mountain, into the forest, and finally into the earth. Everywhere it passed, all the vegetation, boulders, sand, water, trees, and birds were reduced to rubble. Everything was set ablaze with white Origin flames. This attack covered an area of at least a hundred square kilometers.
This kind of counterattack was so shocking that it couldn't be described with words.
Ling Xingqi was dumbstruck. She couldn't utter a single word.
Even Suo Mansha, who had seen many things in her life, was dumbfounded.
Little Rascal and Little Ai were also dumbfounded. They knew that Ding Meng was powerful, but even they didn't think that Ding Meng would be this powerful.
Perhaps the entire world was silent at this moment. The scene in front of them was like a burning hell. Perhaps even a fleet of special-class starships couldn't achieve this.
The cocoon of light was definitely gone by now. Lei Jingtian had already transformed into his human form and retreated a few dozen meters. He floated in the air with an expression of disbelief on his face. Ding Meng's index had already skyrocketed to four hundred billion points. This was simply inhuman.
"Be careful!" Ding Meng's voice sounded.
Lei Jingtian was shocked. He saw Ding Meng clasping his palms together and pushing them forward. A white energy beam about five meters thick shot out from his palms and shot towards him like lightning.
Lei Jingtian didn't panic. The halberd in his hand spun rapidly, forming a circular disc that looked more like a radar. The moment the shockwave came into contact with the radar, it was quickly absorbed.
Seeing this, Little Rascal was extremely anxious. "Stop! This is a weapon even more powerful than the Diamond Starfusing Art. You can't be reckless."
Sure enough, the moment the shockwave surged in, the radar rapidly expanded into a spherical pupil. Ding Meng could see that the halberd was similar to an energy-absorbing device. The more you attacked, the more energy it absorbed. In the end, it would use your own energy to counterattack.
Don't even think about it!
Ding Meng's wrists shook. His palms immediately changed. The originally radiant beam of light lost its color and turned into a formless, transparent energy flow.
Seeing this, Ling Xingqi was completely convinced. Even now, she didn't feel the slightest bit of hostility towards Ding Meng. What did Ding Meng's energy flow signify?
Regardless of whether it was Origin Energy Essence or Divine Light Essence, it proved that Ding Meng's energy refinement had surpassed the Five-Colored, Seven-Colored, Multi-Colored, and Illusionary realms. It had reached the ultimate level of transparency. According to the Federal Empire's certification standards, this was the highest level. Up until now, this was the first time she had seen someone actually use it.
This transparent energy flow entered the pupil of light. The pupil of light immediately became as large as a basketball court.
Not good!
Lei Jingtian also realized that the situation was dangerous. He let go of his hands and retreated at top speed. More accurately, he flashed and disappeared.
An instant later, all of the broadcast screens went white. No one knew what had happened. The only thing that could be heard was a "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sound, as if waves were washing over the beach.
