Maverick quickly locked his gaze on his targets, Salvador and Leo.
“Salvador, you come up first,” Maverick said in a powerful voice.
Upon hearing this, Salvador’s expression darkened slightly.
Maverick then looked at Leo and shouted with a voice full of killing intent, “As for you, daring to kill someone from my Savage God Sect, I will make sure to give you a proper ‘welcome’ later.”
This statement caused the observing Cultivators to turn their attention to Leo. From Maverick’s words, it was clear that if he fought Leo, he would certainly aim to kill.
Many Cultivators couldn’t help but feel a sense of pity for Leo.
Maverick was already considered the top prodigy, and having refined the Lava Beast Fire, no one believed Leo could be his match.
In contrast, Leo’s face remained calm, showing no signs of fear.
“Maverick, your legend will end at my hands,” Leo said in a calm voice.
“Hmph, arrogant boy. You don’t know your place even when death is at your door,” Maverick snorted and turned his gaze back to Salvador.
As the eldest prince of the Martial Dynasty and also a prodigy, Salvador naturally wouldn’t back down without a fight.
With a flash, Salvador’s figure landed on the dueling platform.
Seeing Salvador step onto the platform, Maverick spread his hands.
Purple-gold flames surged from Maverick’s body like a tide, enveloping him completely.
As the purple-gold flames burned, the sound of beast roars echoed.
When the purple-gold flames appeared, the sea-blue flames in the small lake around the central stone platform surged forward like waves.
Heavenly spiritual fires sensing each other was quite normal.
Upon seeing the purple-gold flames again, the spectators’ eyes focused intently.
Salvador’s eyes were also filled with seriousness. He could feel the terrifying power contained within the purple-gold flames.
“Salvador, unleash your bloodline power. Otherwise, you won’t last a single round against me,” Maverick’s arrogant voice came from within the flames.
Salvador’s face darkened. Without wasting words, he formed an ancient seal with his hands, and a rich golden light erupted from his body.
Salvador’s head transformed into a majestic golden lion’s head, and his eyes shone with golden light.
Striking first to gain the upper hand, Salvador’s right fist glowed with brilliant golden light as he launched himself towards Maverick with a powerful punch.
A massive golden fist beam shot out from Salvador’s right fist.
Within the golden fist beam was a roaring Golden Sky Lion King.
Seeing the golden fist beam coming at him, Maverick’s face twisted into a fierce expression. He clenched his right fist and punched out fiercely.
As Maverick punched out, a massive purple-gold flame fist beam shot forth.
Within the purple-gold flame fist beam, one could faintly see the image of a Lava Behemoth.
The Lava Behemoth’s image was far more ferocious than the Golden Sky Lion King.
In the next second, the golden fist beam containing the Golden Sky Lion King’s image collided violently with the purple-gold flame fist beam containing the Lava Behemoth’s image.
A massive wave of energy spread out from the dueling platform.
At the point of impact, large amounts of golden gas evaporated. In less than three seconds, the golden fist beam dissipated completely.
The weakened purple-gold flame fist beam continued to blast towards Salvador.
Salvador quickly formed seals with his hands, and a pair of giant golden wings formed on his back as golden light radiated from him.
The golden wings flapped, lifting Salvador into the air.
The incoming purple-gold flame fist beam passed under Salvador’s feet and crashed into the small lake outside the central stone platform.
The sea-blue flames in the lake rose up and swallowed the purple-gold flame fist beam.
In midair above the dueling platform, Salvador spread his giant golden wings. His eyes shone with golden light as he looked down at Maverick on the platform and quickly formed a seal with his hands.
“Mountain Seal!” Salvador shouted. A palm-sized golden seal flew from his hands towards Maverick on the platform below.
As it fell, the palm-sized golden seal grew rapidly in size until it resembled a small mountain.
One could imagine that if it hit its target, flesh and bone would be crushed into pulp.
Maverick’s eyes narrowed as the purple-gold flames around him burned even more fiercely. He extended his right hand towards the falling Mountain Seal.
As Maverick extended his hand, a massive purple-gold flame hand shot up like a dragon ascending to meet the giant seal.
The flame hand grasped the Mountain Seal firmly.
“Shatter!” Maverick shouted as he clenched his right hand.
In midair, the Mountain Seal held by the flame hand shattered into countless golden fragments.
Amidst the scattered golden fragments, a burly figure wrapped in purple-gold flames shot up from the dueling platform into midair.
Immediately after, a purple-gold flame fist beam burned through the air towards Salvador, who had just finished casting his secret technique.
Salvador’s expression changed drastically. He wrapped his giant golden wings around himself to form a protective barrier in front of him.
The purple-gold flame fist beam struck Salvador’s golden wings.
After a brief stalemate, the golden wings shattered, and the remaining force of the purple-gold flame fist beam hit Salvador directly.
Salvador’s body plummeted like a meteor from midair onto the dueling platform.
Salvador spat out a mouthful of blood. His luxurious silver robe was charred black, and his face was pale as his breath weakened.
The quick end to the battle left the observing Cultivators in awe and gave them a deeper understanding of Maverick’s formidable strength.
Unlike the wary and respectful expressions on the faces of Cultivators from Martial Dynasty, Crescent Dynasty, and Giant Wolf Dynasty, those from Godsbane Dynasty were filled with fervor.
After all, Maverick was ultimately a Cultivator from their Godsbane Dynasty.
“King of the Prodigies!” someone shouted among Godsbane Dynasty’s Cultivators.
Hearing this shout, all Godsbane Dynasty’s Cultivators became excited and shouted in unison: “King of the Prodigies! King of the Prodigies…!”
Hearing this title, all the prodigies below the dueling platform had darkened expressions.
However, despite their displeasure, none of them dared to challenge Maverick.
Even those who had won two consecutive matches like Nightfall, Quinn, and Monk Benjamin remained silent.
“Damn it! If I had obtained Lava Beast Fire, these people wouldn’t be my match either!” Freddy, the eldest prince of Giant Wolf Dynasty, clenched his fists tightly with a sullen expression and thought to himself.
Below the dueling platform, Salvador staggered to his feet and looked up with a grim expression.
