Chapter 421: Seven-star Ancient God Lin Che vs. Eight-star Ancient God Tuosen

Recovering to eighty percent was his current limit; the remaining twenty percent wasn't physical injury, but the collapse of his soul caused by that roar.

This injury required secluded cultivation to recover and couldn't be healed in a short time.

Tuoshan suddenly looked up, the eight star points on his brow rapidly spinning, staring intently at Lin Che, who was sitting on a chair behind the illusory net, a complex expression on his face.

He could be said to be the person who understood Lin Che the most in this world, from a small Nascent Soul cultivator back then to now possessing the aura of a grandmaster, giving himself ample time to recover.

Such a thing sounds easy, but how many in the world can truly achieve it!

Just then, the entire ancient tomb suddenly began to collapse, and all those who had been cultivating there returned to the outside world, their cultivation bases restored to their peak state.

However, they did not turn and leave; instead, they glared fiercely in the direction of the ancient tomb, waiting for Lin Che to emerge so they could completely eliminate him there.

At this moment, Tuoshan had not left; he was still in the ancient tomb, his gaze fixed furiously on the main hall, and at the same time, his Ancient God aura caused the entire world to tremble wildly.

The surrounding cultivators naturally dared not act rashly, as the strength of an eight-star Ancient God was extremely powerful, having reached the Empty Profound Realm.

As for whether he was at the Empty Profound Ninth Tribulation, that depended on Tuoshan's strength.

Tuoshan, holding the Star Extinguishing Spear, looked at Lin Che, who had already appeared and reached the peak of a seven-star Ancient God, and roared, "Lin Che, you brat, today, don't even think about leaving this place!"

Lin Che looked at the enraged Tuoshan, exhaled deeply, and calmly said, "It finally came to this day."

"Since we can meet here, it means we still have some fate.

If that's the case, then let's fight; it's a good opportunity to settle all grievances at once."

Lin Che stared indifferently at the Demonic God Tuoshan before him, speaking softly, while the energy emanating from him spread out like crashing waves, twisting the air wherever it passed.

"You want to fight me, and I shall grant your wish!

That battle in the Ancient God Land on Vermilion Bird Star was not satisfying enough; today, in this Ancient Dao inheritance land, you and I shall battle again!"

As Tuoshan spoke furiously, he took a step forward, and a booming sound echoed in the hall.

He passed directly through the gap in the Ancient Breath Leaf seal, stepped over the illusory net, and entered this inheritance palace!

This was the first time Tuoshan did not refer to himself as 'this god' in his words, a simple change in address that subtly revealed something.

Clearly, Tuoshan's heart at this moment had acknowledged Lin Che's Ancient God identity!

Tuoshan had never truly regarded Lin Che as his kind in his entire life.

Even after breaking free, he still believed the other party was merely a cultivator who had stolen his memory inheritance.

Even when Lin Che advanced to a six-star Ancient God and fought him fiercely, Tuoshan still looked down on him, stubbornly believing Lin Che was unworthy of the title 'Ancient God'!

But now, seeing Lin Che break through to a seven-star Ancient God, feeling the surging, majestic Ancient God power within him, and personally witnessing the other party maintain his dignity even in the extremely perilous inheritance.

At this moment, Tuoshan's heart finally had to accept the fact that the other party, like himself, was a true Ancient God!

"You and I have no enmity; this battle is a fated battle between us, and also a battle for the ownership of Tu Si's inheritance!"

Tuoshan's voice surged like waves, and before he finished speaking, his body rumbled forward, causing the entire palace to shake!

His figure rapidly expanded, instantly transforming into a thousand-zhang giant, clenching his right fist and striking forward with the force of shattering mountains and splitting earth!

An Ancient God's physical body could change size at will, a skill Tuoshan had long mastered.

Lin Che, previously unable to fully grasp it, only now, having advanced to the peak of seven-star, vaguely touched upon its essence.

For example, this thousand-zhang body was far from the limit of a seven-star Ancient God!

Lin Che's eyes were like lightning.

The moment Tuoshan stepped into the palace, a sharp gleam burst forth from his eyes, and his fighting spirit soared like a raging inferno!

The seven Ancient God star points on his brow spun rapidly.

The instant Tuoshan's punch approached from across the air, he raised his left hand, clenched his fist, and met it without hesitation!

Two Ancient Gods, both inheriting Tu Si's legacy, began their fated second duel within this ancient tomb palace!

As Tuoshan unleashed his punch, a storm roared in the hall, and fierce winds swept around like blades.

Reverend Lingdong and Zhou Jin hastily retreated.

Both were severely injured at this moment and unable to assist in the battle, so they could only sit cross-legged in the distance, doing their best to accelerate their healing.

The moment Tuoshan threw his punch, a colossal phantom figure manifested behind him.

This phantom was as tall as the heavens, its body vast as a mountain, its expression filled with brutality, and an overwhelming arrogance that disdained all living beings wildly leaked out!

The instant the phantom appeared, the entire palace trembled violently, as if it would collapse in the next moment!

This illusory figure was precisely the eight-star peak Royal Ancient God, Tu Si!

Tuoshan was originally a wisp of Tu Si's demonic念 (thought/intention), and though he had now usurped control, his soul, his origin, ultimately stemmed from Tu Si!

At this moment, as he punched with full force, Tu Si's phantom also swung its right fist, roaring like a meteor falling to earth, and rushed towards Lin Che along with Tuoshan!

Almost at the same instant, a colossal phantom figure, as tall as the heavens, also manifested behind Lin Che.

This phantom was also Tu Si!

However, unlike the phantom behind Tuoshan, it had no trace of brutality, only the wisdom and vicissitudes accumulated over countless years!

As Lin Che unleashed his punch, the Tu Si figure behind him also raised its left hand, clenched its fist, and powerfully struck forward!

If there were a sky at this moment, it would surely change color.

If there were clouds at this moment, they would surely be swept back by the wind!

This scene was precisely a picture long destined by fate!

From a distance, the two colossal Ancient God phantoms, as tall as the heavens, had identical appearances, the same size, and even the same intricate fine lines on their skin, both simultaneously swinging their fists to unleash an earth-shattering blow!

The only difference was that one was brutal like a demon, while the other was wise and calm like a saint, and beneath these two giant figures stood the confronting Lin Che and Tuoshan!

The distance between them rapidly closed, and in an instant, Tuoshan was near the stone platform, his right fist crashing down from mid-air, directly colliding with Lin Che's left fist!

At the same time, just as the two began their fated battle, a graceful figure quietly appeared beyond the illusory net in the distance.

It was the charming woman from the Eight Ancient Concubines!

A roaring sound shook the heavens and earth.

The moment Lin Che's and Tuoshan's fists touched, their respective heaven-high Tu Si figures behind them also collided with their fists!

As if the void of the palace was forcibly torn apart, amidst the roar, the Tu Si phantom behind Tuoshan trembled all over, its right arm suddenly collapsed, and cracks spread across its entire body like a spiderweb!

The phantom retreated with a boom, each step covering a thousand zhang.

By the fourth step, this ferocious and brutal Tu Si phantom finally disintegrated with a crash!
