Chapter 1506: Chapter 1506: Supreme Showdown

"Elder Liu, who do you think will be the final victor?" Hidden in the void, Lin Daozi watched the imminent battle unfolding below and turned his head to smile at Liu Xuanji.

"Pei Yan."

Hearing Liu Xuanji’s instant response, Lin Daozi was slightly puzzled and asked, "Elder Liu, you have a lot of confidence in Pei Yan! Do you think they can definitely win?"

Liu Xuanji shook his head at the question but instead asked back, "Daozi, do you think Pei Yan will die today?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Daozi furrowed his brow slightly and then understood the meaning behind Liu Xuanji’s words. He tapped his folded fan while looking around and sneered, "I heard from my master that no matter the outcome of this battle, if Pei Yan truly faces danger, Lin Junzhao will definitely step in to save him. If she acts alone though, in this alien realm facing the Supreme Lord of the Plane, it seems unlikely she can safely rescue Pei Yan. However, Pei Yan’s death would mean the new Young Master of the Dragon Realm would also perish, so the Ancestral God will surely intervene! With two Masters of Origin as a way out, Pei Yan’s life is safe today regardless of victory or defeat."

"Indeed! With today’s circumstances forcing the Council City to such an extent in front of the world, even if they defeat the Investigation Hall’s team in this battle, as long as they can’t kill Pei Yan and completely wipe out the Investigation Hall team daring to challenge the Council City, for the three major councils, this battle is a loss for them," Liu Xuanji revealed the Council City’s helplessness. To the three major councils, the situation has reached this point. Whether they win or lose, the Council City’s reputation is ruined. Killing Pei Yan and his allies is the only chance to restore face. However, facing the possible appearance of two Lords of the Plane, this task seems impossible.

Lin Daozi nodded in agreement and asked, "I wasn’t precise enough in my question, Elder Liu. Just in terms of this battle, which side do you think has a higher chance of winning?"

"If it were before, I would answer without hesitation, the three major councils! Fifteen top-tier Heavenly Dao experts! And those Heavenly Dao experts observing from behind the scenes, fearful of being caught up in this battle and suffering innocent losses. However, once Pei Yan’s side falls into disadvantage and a breach opens, I believe those observing Heavenly Dao experts will rush forward to team up with these fifteen top-tier experts to fiercely attack the fallen foe."

Liu Xuanji pivoted her gaze to the battlefield where Pei Yan faced the approaching army with calm composure, and an unexpected fear rose in her heart as she trembled, "But now I can’t give you a definitive answer. Pei Yan, during his eighth-level awakening, possessed the strength to battle a top-tier Heavenly Dao expert and even killed one alone! No! Including that newly promoted top-tier expert from the Vlad Clan, that’s two top-tier Heavenly Dao experts. Although I believed his strength might surpass mine at the time, I never thought he was unbeatable. I may not be able to defeat him alone, but if our Six Mansions of the Immortal Palace unite heart and hand, we could still suppress him. However, since witnessing his progression into the ninth-level awakening, I’ve lost that belief! In my view, he has surpassed us, no longer in the same realm, almost infinitely close to being a Master of Origin. Such a gap cannot be bridged by mere enemy numbers."

Concluding her speech with a self-mocking smile, Liu Xuanji said helplessly, "Of course, this is just my personal judgment, possibly just an illusion caused by the pressure comparable to His Majesty the Spirit Emperor emitted during his advancement. After all, it was the power radiated from the fusion of Pei Yan, his sister, and Divine Beast Hu Jiu. Whether Pei Yan himself can reach that level remains uncertain. Today, with all three present, if they can perform the fusion technique as they did during advancement and reach peak strength, aided by his companions’ attacks, defeating the fifteen top-tier Heavenly Dao experts won’t be hard."

"Elder Liu’s analysis is reasonable. Were bloodline fusion and symbiotic contract fusion able to achieve such high strength?" Lin Daozi nodded continuously in agreement, and glanced at Pei Yan on the field. When initially selecting a Child of Origin, the Lords of the Plane intentionally chose individuals with blood relations, to allow the fusion technique to advance the Child of Origin’s power, better becoming the vessel for the Master of Origin. Lin Daozi and his sister Lin Xunrou were no exception. Now it is difficult for him to catch up with Pei Yan by relying solely on his expertise, yet he must not be surpassed by other Children of Origin. Perhaps retracing Pei Yan’s old path might be a wise choice.

In the void, various Plane Envoys made their predictions about the battle’s direction, while on the battlefield both sides eagerly awaited the outbreak of a major conflict.

At this moment, the calmness in Pei Yan’s heart matched the emotions displayed on his surface. Liu Xuanji’s assessment of his power was not mistaken. The only difference was his sister Pei Jin’s recent fusion lasting nine days because of a strong rejection response, which she’s still adapting to. Attempting another trinity fusion and engaging in battle today would produce repercussions risking her life, so performing the trinity fusion to sweep the battlefield was never within Pei Yan’s range of choices. If the situation truly becomes beyond his capability, he might opt for a Beast God fusion with Hu Jiu to face formidable foes.

But it hasn’t reached that level yet. Even with fifteen top-tier Heavenly Dao’s aura intimidating the field, Pei Yan remains unperturbed, calmly conversing.

What a joke! He has faced the pressure of Masters of Origin countless times. Nearly every Master of Origin has pressured him. Trying to scare him with just this aura is utterly absurd.

"Hahaha! Fifteen top-tier Heavenly Dao, fewer than I anticipated! I’ll take on ten! Leave the remaining five to you! One each!" Pei Yan disregarded the sour expressions of his opponents and joked with his companions.

"Come on, do you really think you’re Yip Man? If you take on ten, why are we here? As tourists?" Zheng Jia Ru flexed his muscles, dismissing Pei Yan’s suggestion with a scornful look, "You already have Zhao Yuanhu! Leave some spotlight for us! I don’t have a girlfriend yet! Damn, Jiang Feiyang has become the new favorite among the investigation team members. Where am I falling short?"

While speaking, Zheng Jia Ru pointed towards Gerald and Jiaheris in the Council City’s camp, "I’m not bragging! I’ll choose them! I estimate their thoughts align with mine. We were enemies from the Sword Discussion Conference! Since fate brought us together today, might as well settle it once and for all. With a bit of time, I’ll finish them and come to assist you."
