Saat berita bahwa Nie Fengzhuo dan Bai Zihan akan bertarung spar menyebar, seluruh Klan Nie langsung meledak dalam kekacauan. Banyak murid-murid berlarian menuju arena latihan dengan kecepatan penuh. Bahkan banyak tetua muncul satu per satu. Tidak ada yang ingin melewatkan pemandangan seperti ini. Dengan cepat, arena latihan yang luas menjadi penuh dengan orang. Kegembiraan memenuhi udara. Di tengah arena, dua sosok berdiri menghadap satu sama lain dengan tenang. Satu mengenakan jubah putih dengan mata merah yang seolah bisa menekan langit sendiri. Yang lain berdiri tegak dan tajam seperti pedang yang belum disarung. Bai Zihan vs Nie Fengzhuo! Atmosfer saja sudah menyebabkan jantung banyak murid berdegup kencang. Banyak murid muda menatap dengan wajah merah dan ekspresi excited. 'Inilah yang tidak bisa dipercaya...' 'Saudara Senior Fengzhuo sebenarnya melawan Bai Zihan itu!' 'Belum pernah kuduga aku akan menyaksikan sesuatu seperti ini seumur hidupku!' Suara-suara terus naik di sekitar arena latihan. Setelah semua, bagi generasi muda saat ini Klan Nie, dua nama ini mewakili puncak mutlak. Nie Fengzhuo sudah dianggap jenius terhebat yang dihasilkan Klan Nie dalam ribuan tahun. Tapi Bai Zihan berada di level yang berbeda. Sepanjang Kekaisaran, ia secara publik diakui sebagai talenta paling menakutkan dalam sejarah tercatat. Tidak ada perbandingan. Baik masa kini maupun masa lalu belum pernah melihat seseorang seperti Bai Zihan. Di antara kerumunan, banyak murid Klan Nie menggenggam tinju dengan gugup. Apakah Nie Fengzhuo bisa mengalahkan seseorang seperti Bai Zihan? Setelah semua, sepanjang perjalanan Nie Fengzhuo telah terus mengalahkan musuh mustahil berulang kali. Berulang kali, ia mengalahkan musuh yang dianggap tak terkalahkan. Bagi banyak murid, ia telah menjadi sinonim mukjizat. Tapi kali ini... Musuhnya adalah Bai Zihan. Dan nama itu saja menempatkan tekanan besar pada semua orang. Apalagi, Nie Fengzhuo telah sekali menderita kekalahan dari tangan Bai lain, Bai Xueqing. Dan Bai Zihan bahkan lebih menakutkan darinya. Jadi, kegembiraan dan kegugupan bercampur di seluruh arena latihan. Sementara itu, di sisi arena, Nie Qingyu menonton dengan tangan terkepal. Ekspresinya jauh lebih gugup daripada sebelumnya. Meski ia selalu bertindak percaya diri pada adiknya... Dan meski ia benci mengakuinya... Ia sangat jelas bahwa Bai Zihan bukan seseorang yang bisa diabaikan. Di platform tinggi di dekatnya, Patriark Xue perlahan maju. Karena kedua belah pihak setuju sukarela, ia alami menjadi orang paling cocok untuk memimpin pertarungan spar. Aturan sederhana. Pertarungan berakhir ketika salah satu pihak kehilangan kemampuan untuk melanjutkan bertarung atau secara sukarela mengaku kalah. Patriark Xue perlahan mengangkat tangan dan menjatuhkannya. 'Dimulai!' BOOM! Saat kata-kata itu keluar, aura kuat meledak dari tubuh Nie Fengzhuo. Qi mengalir ganas di sekitarnya seperti badai naik. Tanah di bawah kakinya retak seketika. Matanya yang tajam tetap terkunci pada Bai Zihan tanpa sedikit pun kelonggaran. BOOM! Saat Nie Fengzhuo bergerak, aura kultivator Formasi Jiwa Puncak meledak ke luar tanpa ragu. Nie Fengzhuo tidak menahan sedikit pun. Karena ia sangat jelas bahwa melawan Bai Zihan, bahkan serangan penuh masih mungkin tidak cukup. Whoosh! Garisnya kabur seketika. Aduan pedang tajam bergema di seluruh arena latihan. Dalam waktu berikutnya, Nie Fengzhuo sudah muncul langsung di depan Bai Zihan. Pedangnya menurunkan kasar. Serangan itu merobek udara dengan momentum luar biasa. Sementara itu, Bai Zihan akhirnya juga bergerak. Namun, kultivasi yang ia rilis juga hanya pada Alam Formasi Jiwa. Bukan karena ia meremehkan Nie Fengzhuo. Lebih karena jika ia benar-benar menggunakan kultivasinya penuh, maka pertarungan ini akan kehilangan semua makna. Ia bahkan tidak layak disebut sparring. Pertarungan kemungkinan akan berakhir dalam satu napas. Bai Zihan sendiri juga ingin melihat sesuatu. Tanpa mengandalkan penekanan kultivasi yang mendominasi, sejauh mana Nie Fengzhuo sebenarnya bisa mendorongnya? Setelah semua, Yang Terpilih Langit adalah eksistensi yang mampu membalikkan situasi mustahil. Banyak kali, bahkan saat terpojok, mereka selalu menemukan kesempatan untuk bertahan dan bangkit kembali. Bai Zihan perlahan menarik Pedang Roh Abadi. CLANG! Dua pedang bertabrakan seketika. Guncangan mengerikan meledak ke luar. Tanah di sekitar mereka hancur layer demi layer. Mata Nie Fengzhuo tajam. Tanpa ragu, ia melancarkan serangan lagi. Lalu lagi. Dan lagi! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! Suara benturan logam bergema terus di arena. Bayangan pedang memenuhi langit. Nie Fengzhuo menyerang ganas seperti badai tak terhentikan. Setiap serangan membawa kekuatan luar biasa. Sementara itu, Bai Zihan bertahan dengan tenang sejak awal. Gerakannya tampak sederhana, namun setiap serangan dari Nie Fengzhuo diblokir sempurna tanpa Bai Zihan pernah mundur. Seolah Bai Zihan telah melihat setiap serangan sebelum tiba. Melihat ini, ekspresi Nie Fengzhuo menjadi lebih serius perlahan. 'Pedang Sembilan Kehancuran Tirani!' BOOM! Pedang di tangannya melepaskan cahaya gemilang saat kekuatan destruktif besar terkondensasi di sekitar bilah. Jelas, Nie Fengzhuo tidak berniat menguji air perlahan. Melawan Bai Zihan, ia bermaksud serangan penuh sejak awal. Serangan pedang tirani menurunkan kasar. Tekanan saja menyebabkan retakan menyebar cepat di lantai arena. Namun, Bai Zihan hanya mengangkat pedangnya dengan tenang. Tidak ada teknik. CLANG!!! Ledakan mengerikan meledak di seluruh arena latihan. Qi ganas menyapu liar ke luar. Namun Bai Zihan tidak bergerak setengah langkah pun. Jubah putihnya berkibar sedikit ditiup angin. Itu saja. Sementara itu, pupil Nie Fengzhuo menyusut samar. Karena ia bisa jelas merasakan— Berapa pun kekuatan yang ia pompa ke serangannya... Berapa pun ganasnya ia meledakkan kekuatan... Semua tampak benar-benar sia-sia. Pertahanan Bai Zihan terasa seperti gunung yang tak tergoyahkan. Tidak— Lebih menakutkan dari gunung. Setidaknya gunung masih bisa hancur suatu saat. Tapi Bai Zihan memberikan perasaan sesuatu yang sepenuhnya tak tergoyahkan. Eksistensi yang mustahil dipindahkan. Tentu saja, dengan fisik mengerikan Bai Zihan, bahkan saat menekan dirinya ke Alam Formasi Jiwa, hampir mustahil bagi kultivator Formasi Jiwa lain untuk mengalahkannya langsung. Jadi, hasilnya hampir tak terhindarkan sejak awal. Dengan kekuatan saat ini Nie Fengzhuo, memecah pertahanan Bai Zihan praktis mustahil. Tapi Nie Fengzhuo bukan orang yang mudah menyerah. Tidak sama sekali. Sebaliknya, semakin tekanan yang ia rasakan, semakin terang niat bertarung di matanya.
Bab 591: Bai Zihan vs Nie Fengzhuo!
The moment news spread that Nie Fengzhuo and Bai Zihan were about to spar, the entire Nie Clan instantly erupted into commotion.
Countless disciples rushed toward the training grounds at full speed.
Even many elders appeared one after another.
No one wished to miss such a scene.
Very quickly, the enormous training grounds became packed with people.
Excitement filled the air.
At the center of the arena, two figures stood facing one another calmly.
One wore white robes with crimson eyes that seemed capable of suppressing the heavens themselves.
The other stood tall and sharp like an unsheathed blade.
Bai Zihan vs Nie Fengzhuo!
The atmosphere alone caused countless disciples’ hearts to pound wildly.
Many younger disciples stared with flushed faces and excited expressions.
"This is unbelievable..."
"Senior Brother Fengzhuo is actually fighting that Bai Zihan!"
"I never thought I’d witness something like this in my lifetime!"
Voices continuously rose around the training grounds.
After all, to the current younger generation of the Nie Clan, these two names represented absolute peaks.
Nie Fengzhuo was already regarded as the greatest genius the Nie Clan had produced in thousands of years.
But Bai Zihan was on another different level.
Throughout the empire, he was publicly acknowledged as the most terrifying talent in recorded history.
There was simply no comparison.
Neither the present nor the past had ever seen someone like Bai Zihan.
Among the gathered crowd, many Nie Clan disciples clenched their fists nervously.
Could Nie Fengzhuo defeat someone like Bai Zihan?
After all, throughout his entire journey, Nie Fengzhuo had continuously overcome impossible opponents again and again.
Countless times, he had defeated enemies thought to be invincible.
To many disciples, he had become synonymous with miracles.
But this time...
The opponent was Bai Zihan.
And that name alone placed enormous pressure upon everyone.
Not to mention, Nie Fengzhuo had already once suffered defeat at the hands of another Bai, Bai Xueqing.
And Bai Zihan was even more terrifying than her.
Thus, excitement and nervousness mixed together throughout the entire training ground.
Meanwhile, at the side of the arena, Nie Qingyu watched with tightly clenched hands.
Her expression was far more nervous than before.
Although she always acted confident in her brother...
And although she hated admitting it...
She knew very clearly that Bai Zihan was not someone who could be underestimated.
At the high platform nearby, Patriarch Xue slowly stepped forward.
Since both sides had agreed willingly, he naturally became the most suitable person to preside over the sparring match.
The rules were simple.
The battle would end when one side lost the ability to continue fighting or voluntarily admitted defeat.
Patriarch Xue slowly raised his hand and dropped it.
"Begin!"
BOOM!
The instant those words rang out, a powerful aura erupted from Nie Fengzhuo’s body.
Qi surged violently around him like a rising storm.
The ground beneath his feet cracked apart instantly.
His sharp eyes remained firmly locked onto Bai Zihan without the slightest carelessness.
BOOM!
The instant Nie Fengzhuo moved, the aura of a Peak Soul Formation cultivator exploded outward without reservation.
Nie Fengzhuo did not hold back in the slightest.
Because he understood very clearly that against Bai Zihan, even going all out still might not be enough.
Whoosh!
His figure blurred instantly.
A sharp sword cry echoed throughout the training grounds.
In the next moment, Nie Fengzhuo already appeared directly before Bai Zihan.
His sword descended violently.
The strike tore through the air with astonishing momentum.
Meanwhile, Bai Zihan finally moved as well.
However, the cultivation he released was also only at the Soul Formation Realm.
It was not because he underestimated Nie Fengzhuo.
Rather, if he truly used his full cultivation, then this battle would lose all meaning.
It would not even qualify as a sparring match.
The fight would likely end within a single breath.
Bai Zihan himself also wished to see something.
Without relying on overwhelming cultivation suppression, how far could Nie Fengzhuo actually push him?
After all, Heaven Chosen were existences capable of overturning impossible situations.
Even when cornered, they always managed to find opportunities to survive and rise again.
Bai Zihan slowly drew the Eternal Spirit Sword.
CLANG!
The two swords collided instantly.
A terrifying shockwave erupted outward.
The ground around them shattered layer by layer.
Nie Fengzhuo’s eyes sharpened.
Without hesitation, he unleashed another strike.
Then another.
And another!
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
The sounds of metal collisions echoed continuously throughout the arena.
Sword shadows filled the sky.
Nie Fengzhuo attacked fiercely like an unstoppable storm.
Every strike carried astonishing power.
Meanwhile, Bai Zihan defended calmly from beginning to end.
His movements appeared simple, yet every single attack from Nie Fengzhuo was blocked perfectly without Bai Zihan ever stepping back.
It was as though Bai Zihan had already seen through every attack before it even arrived.
Seeing this, Nie Fengzhuo’s expression gradually became more serious.
"Nine Desolations Tyrant Sword!"
BOOM!
The sword in his hand released dazzling light as enormous destructive power condensed around the blade.
Clearly, Nie Fengzhuo had no intention of testing the waters slowly.
Against Bai Zihan, he intended to go all out from the very beginning.
The tyrannical sword strike descended violently.
The pressure alone caused cracks to spread rapidly across the arena floor.
However, Bai Zihan merely raised his sword calmly.
No technique.
CLANG!!!
A deafening explosion erupted throughout the training grounds.
Violent qi swept wildly outward.
Yet Bai Zihan did not move even half a step.
His white robes fluttered slightly in the wind.
That was all.
Meanwhile, Nie Fengzhuo’s pupils contracted faintly.
Because he could clearly feel it—
No matter how much force he poured into his attacks...
No matter how fiercely he exploded with power...
It all seemed completely useless.
Bai Zihan’s defense felt like an immovable mountain.
No—
More terrifying than a mountain.
At least mountains could still be shattered eventually.
But Bai Zihan gave off the feeling of something absolutely unshakable.
An existence impossible to move.
Of course, with Bai Zihan’s terrifying physique, even while suppressing himself to the Soul Formation Realm, it was nearly impossible for another Soul Formation cultivator to overpower him directly.
Thus, the outcome was almost inevitable from the very beginning.
With Nie Fengzhuo’s current strength, breaking through Bai Zihan’s defenses was practically impossible.
But Nie Fengzhuo was not someone who gave up easily.
Not even close.
Instead, the more pressure he felt, the brighter the fighting intent within his eyes became.
