Chapter 816: Discussing the Path

Xu Fan narrowed his eyes as he watched the alien respected elders suddenly appear in the sky.

"It seems there is a Supreme Elder among them," Xu Fan sensed from the aura of the group of alien respected elders.

"Master, are we going to fight?" Zhou Kailing asked excitedly.

"Probably not. Judging by their demeanor, they seem to be here for a visit," Xu Fan replied as he turned his gaze back, ready to continue wandering the fairy city.

At that moment, one of the alien respected elders in the sky seemed to sense Xu Fan’s gaze and stepped closer, appearing not far from him.

"The Supreme of the human race? From the star region?" the Alien Supreme said.

The alien respected elder had a human face, was covered in hair, and had a body resembling an ape with four arms.

"Yes, I wonder what brings you here?" Xu Fan nodded and responded.

"Nothing much, it has been a long time since I saw a new Supreme Elder, so I came to meet you," the Alien Supreme said with a smile.

"Do you have any interest in discussing the path with me in the star region?" the Alien Supreme invited again.

In the eyes of the Alien Supreme, discussing the path meant sparring, a way to experience the depth of the wide road in the simplest form.

"No interest; you should continue with what you need to do," Xu Fan shook his head and replied.

Even Supremes had their ranks, and the one before Xu Fan was the lowest tier of Supreme.

Xu Fan had no desire to take action.

At that moment, an invincible respected elder appeared beside the two, the invincible respected elder guarding this small world.

"My lords, if there is anything we have not done well, please let us know, but we must not discuss the path here in this small world," the arriving invincible respected elder said nervously.

If these two were to lightly engage, this small world could very well collapse.

"Discussing the path is fine; how about we add a little wager?" Xu Fan said with a smile, looking at the four-armed Alien Supreme.

"A wager? How about ten thousand Immortal Jade from each of us?" the Alien Supreme paused for a moment and replied.

"Don’t you think ten thousand Immortal Jade is a bit beneath your Supreme status?" Xu Fan asked.

"Then let’s make it one hundred thousand Immortal Jade; that’s the most I can offer," the Alien Supreme thought for a moment, knowing it was rare to meet a cultivator of the same level and wanting to get valuable insights.

Xu Fan nodded, making a gesture inviting him to proceed.

"I will wait for you in the star region," Xu Fan said before vanishing without a trace.

The spatial fluctuations left by the Alien Supreme also disappeared along with Xu Fan.

Only Zhou Kailing and the invincible respected elder guarding the small world remained.

"Master, you have to let me see the action!" Zhou Kailing said, unwilling to accept being left out.

As soon as Zhou Kailing finished speaking, a hand reached out from the void, grabbing her shoulder and pulling her into its space.

In the star region not far from the small world, Xu Fan and the Alien Supreme gazed at each other across the distance.

"From the multi-armed Demonic Ape clan, Steel Mountain, specializing in the path of the chaotic golden form," the Alien Supreme introduced himself.

"Of the human race, Xu Fan, specializing in the path of the five elements," Xu Fan replied.

Their auras began to rise, causing Zhou Kailing, who was watching from afar, to step back several paces.

"Friend, shall we begin our discussion on the path?"

A massive chaotic golden form materialized behind Steel Mountain, its four hands clenched into fists, all charging towards Xu Fan.

"Breaking through with sheer strength—this move is impressive," Xu Fan remarked with admiration.

Simultaneously, spiritual energy from the star region converged, forming the Laws of the Five Elements behind Xu Fan.

A Five Elements golden form, matching the size of Steel Mountain’s supreme form, emerged.

A Giant Shield, crafted from the Laws of the Five Elements, appeared in the hands of the Five Elements golden form.

"Boom!!"

Zhou Kailing felt the entire star region shake. Were it not for the shield Xu Fan had placed around her, she would have been obliterated by the fluctuations of battle.

Xu Fan raised the shield to block the full force of Steel Mountain’s chaotic golden form.

As the power of the chaotic golden form waned, the shield created by the Five Elements golden form shattered.

"Hahaha! Finally, someone of the same level who can withstand my full punch!" Steel Mountain exclaimed with excitement.

He then unleashed an even more ferocious assault.

Punch after punch, each imbued with the purest strength.

Before Steel Mountain, all paths would crumble under his fists.

Xu Fan’s Five Elements golden form was relentlessly battered by Steel Mountain’s chaotic golden form.

"Is it just because you have more hands?!" Xu Fan retorted, using all his might to fend off Steel Mountain’s chaotic golden form.

"Since we’re in the star region, free from the constraints of the middle thousand world, I can now use everything I couldn’t before."

Xu Fan unleashed the three-headed six-armed divine ability, countering with equally pure power.

"Now this feels exhilarating! Friend, amplify your power a bit more!" Steel Mountain roared with excitement, his chaotic golden form growing larger and more formidable than before.

Zhou Kailing watched from a distance as the two supremes engaged in a savage battle, wielding the most profound paths.

Every move and strike carried immense power; any hit from either golden form would leave lasting scars on the nearby small world.

Outside the small world, the invincible respected elder guarding it watched with cold sweat, observing the battle between the two colossal beings.

It was akin to an ordinary person watching King Kong fight Godzilla in a city—thrilling yet anxious about their house being destroyed.

The battle outside the small world alarmed other respected elders within it.

Those not in the invincible realm took a glance and retreated, unable to withstand the fluctuations of battle.

Ming Kong glanced and also withdrew, recalling his battle with that Quasi-Immortal.

Compared to Xu Fan’s fight with Steel Mountain, his own battle felt like a child’s brawl—embarrassing and heart-wrenching.

The two golden forms grew stronger and more exhilarated as they fought.

Meeting a worthy opponent was like rain after a long drought; the fire ignited.

The battle intensified, and Xu Fan’s battle intent was stirred.

His expression grew serious as he suppressed the urge to use powers beyond limits.

Just like using Holy Sun and Moon’s Shadow power against him.

While the two were engrossed in their fight, the invincible respected elder guarding the small world pleaded,

"Could you both move a bit further away from the small world? If this continues, the small world will collapse."

The two fighters paused briefly and then flew to a more distant area in the star region.

Seeing the two supremes move away, the invincible respected elders sighed in relief, knowing their small world had been spared.

In the far reaches of the star region, the battle raged on.

Every exchange between them surpassed what the middle thousand world could endure.

Steel Mountain’s chaotic golden form struck Xu Fan’s three-headed six-armed Five Elements golden form with a punch.

The two true forms separated, facing each other across the distance.

"How many years has it been? This is the first time I’ve fought so exhilaratingly since becoming a supreme!"

"Friend, would you mind if I use a celestial tool?" Steel Mountain’s chaotic golden form inquired.

"Go ahead; I have one too," Xu Fan replied.

"That’s part of strength."

A Dragon Slayer giant knife appeared in the hands of the Five Elements golden form, while Steel Mountain adorned each of his four hands with golden gauntlets.

Xu Fan and Steel Mountain locked eyes once more, both revealing satisfaction at the celestial tools in their grasp.
