If Jian Wushuang truly won, it would be like finding a treasure for her, a member of the Yue royal family.

Securing a spot in the Sacred Assembly could attract such talent. This deal was definitely not a loss.

Moreover, it would represent not just Yue, but also the Yue royal family. This was a chance for them to save face.

Behind the screen, the Crown Princess clenched her fists, feeling ecstatic. She was filled with confidence in Shi Jiu now.

“Let’s begin then!”

“Bring it on!”

Both of them surged with energy simultaneously.

Jian Wushuang unleashed the power of the Beast God, instantly boosting himself to 130,000-fold.

But that wasn’t enough. To ensure victory, he directly doubled the power of the Beast God.

At this moment, his divine power reached a terrifying 160,000-fold.

This was already at the top level among the Two Tribulation realm.

Shi Jiu’s eyes flickered. He anticipated Jian Wushuang’s strength, but he didn’t expect him to unleash 160,000-fold divine power right from the start.

Even though he was proficient in controlling divine power and could easily defeat opponents with the same divine power, Jian Wushuang was no slouch either!

Muchen’s eyes sparkled even more. Holding Wu Li’s arm, he exclaimed excitedly, “Brother Wu Li, we’re family now, and yet you still hid this from me. Nephew Wushuang can actually unleash 160,000-fold divine power!”

Jian Wushuang’s strength excited him more than anyone else.

Now, Jian Wushuang was even stronger than Shi Jiu, surpassing him by more than 10,000-fold divine power.

That was a considerable difference.

The three Emperors who had been defeated earlier were even more astonished. Wasn’t it agreed that their strengths were more or less equal?

And they also knew that within the Yue Kingdom, there was no Emperor prodigy, otherwise they wouldn’t have been approached.

How could a super genius with a divine power of 160,000-fold suddenly emerge?

With such a genius around, why bother seeking them out? It’s a blatant insult to them.

Absolutely humiliating!

Shi Han couldn’t help but feel shocked when he saw Jian Wushuang erupting with 160,000-fold divine power!

160,000-fold divine power, this was already comparable to the best batch of geniuses from the Shi Kingdom.

But he had confidence in Shi Jiu. 160,000-fold wasn’t that much. Among peers, Shi Jiu’s mastery of divine power was the most formidable Emperor he had ever seen.

Experts see the doorway, amateurs see the spectacle.

Although Jin cChen was also a super genius among the Emperors, his divine power at its peak could only reach around 140,000-fold. Seeing Jian Wushuang’s 160,000-fold divine power, he couldn’t help but feel a bit worried.

As a party involved, Shi Jiu naturally couldn’t afford to be careless.

A difference of 10,000-fold was like a chasm, so he needed to unleash his trump card once again.

“Hah!!!” Shi Jiu roared angrily, erupting once more. His divine power soared from 150,000-fold to 160,000-fold, and countless electric arcs surrounded him.

Jian Wushuang’s eyes flickered, feeling a sharp pain.

It was much stronger than he had anticipated.

With the same divine power, he didn’t have much confidence; after all, the opponent specialized in divine power.

Although he practiced dual cultivation, he didn’t have much confidence in dealing with such a super genius specializing in divine power in his current state.

Whoosh!

Jian Wushuang took the initiative, utilizing the intricacies of space. In terms of speed, he could suppress Shi Jiu.

In terms of combat experience, he was not weaker than his opponent.

Shi Jiu could clearly feel the eerie speed of Jian Wushuang.

He was extra cautious when making his move, shifting his position before daring to pause.

But Jian Wushuang’s speed was more than just that.

As soon as Shi Jiu stabilized his figure, Jian Wushuang had been waiting in that position, gathering energy with one hand, his divine power erupting.

A dark red light wave, at close range, directly hit Shi Jiu from behind.

Feeling the threat, Shi Jiu attempted to leap to evade.

But Jian Wushuang followed closely, his speed far surpassing Shi Jiu’s, appearing directly above Shi Jiu’s head and unleashing a punch, forcefully smashing the airborne Shi Jiu down again.

Just as it collided with the light wave.

Boom!!!

Jian Wushuang didn’t give his opponent any chance. Regardless of who he faced, he disliked dragging things out.

With his hands crossed, his divine power erupted once again, then suddenly lifting his hands, all the divine power on his body exploded.

From his core position, an endless vortex of formidable divine power emanated.

The Empress persisted, pointing her finger and directly setting up another barrier to withstand the terrifying impact.

Otherwise, this hall would have collapsed.

Rumbling!

After the final burst of the divine power vortex, only countless dust remained.

Jian Wushuang could sense that the aura below was weakening.

Phew!

Shi Jiu’s figure emerged from the dust.

The others in the hall were all terrified!

Except for Wu Li, who found it all incredible.

Originally, reaching 130,000-fold seemed like the pinnacle.

Unexpectedly, today he encountered two super geniuses with a divine power of 160,000-fold, and their battle was so intense and fierce.

In terms of combat experience, the techniques of these two individuals were no less than those of the Universe Masters.

Shi Jiu emerged from the dust, his silver battle armor no longer shining brightly, and his hair somewhat disheveled.

But his aura kept rising continuously.

“For how many years, you’re the first to directly overpower me!” Shi Jiu’s voice trembled slightly, but his aura kept breaking through.

Soon, it soared back to 160,000-fold divine power, and it didn’t stop there.

165,000-fold, 168,000-fold, 169,000-fold!

170,000-fold!

Jian Wushuang furrowed his brows slightly and said, “Your divine power should be around 180,000-fold!”

He could sense that Shi Jiu was still holding back.

“Tsk tsk, aren’t you holding back as well?” Shi Jiu smirked, not bursting forth the next moment but instead striking instantly.

This time, Shi Jiu’s speed had increased significantly. Before Jian Wushuang could evade, a punch directly hit his face like a thunderbolt.

As Jian Wushuang staggered back, Shi Jiu rushed forward again, grabbing his ankle.

Exerting all his strength, Shi Jiu flung Jian Wushuang away.

Immediately after, Shi Jiu charged forward again, delivering elbow strikes from top to bottom, causing blood to surge from Jian Wushuang’s mouth.

“Spirit!”

Shi Jiu shouted, gathering an immensely powerful divine energy wave in his hands.

“Element!”

The second word caused the divine power contained within the energy wave to rise to another level.

The pure divine power within that wave had already gathered to 180,000-fold.

“Slash!”

The final word uttered, and the divine power gathered in Shi Jiu’s hands erupted completely.

A divine power of 190,0-00-fold, condensed into a mass, rushed toward Jian Wushuang, who lost his balance.

By the time he sensed the immense threat, it was too late.

Before he could stabilize his figure, the massive light wave was already upon him.

Jian Wushuang tried to block with his hands, but with only 160,000-fold divine power, it was like an insect trying to stop a speeding carriage.

“The power of the Beast God!”

“Tripled!”

Jian Wushuang instantly supercharged, his divine power soaring to 190,000-fold.

Equivalent to the divine power of Spirit Element Slash.

Finally, leaning against the boundary, he managed to block it.

But if that massive divine power were to explode completely, he would definitely be injured.
