“Boom!”
Outside Lingtian Immortal Sect, a thunderous earth-shaking sound suddenly erupted. Violent energy waves howled forth as space gradually twisted and shattered.
The Tonggu Warship positioned at the edge of the storm remained undisturbed, because the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers gathered the power of the stone statue clan, condensing an impenetrable barrier that covered an extremely wide range.
“Bang bang bang!”
Residual force frantically assaulted the barrier.
Tonggu Zhenren, Qiye Zhenren, and other wandering cultivators hiding behind it watched their expressions change repeatedly.
With this kind of power, without the stone statue clan’s strong warriors, everyone affected would at minimum vomit blood and suffer injuries, or at worst die on the spot.
The millions of martial artists watching the excitement were out of luck.
They never expected someone would suddenly fly out from Lingtian Immortal Sect and, with lightning speed, gather a terrifying palm strike to bombard them. So when the residual force spread, there was no time to retreat, and they were all tragically affected.
“Pff!”
“Pff!”
Blood sprayed wildly, spilling onto the earth.
As waves of explosive residual force gradually weakened, the martial artists who had originally stood outside Lingtian Immortal Sect’s territory were all blasted back over ten miles, with numerous corpses lying along the way.
This.
Was the price of watching the excitement.
Of course, the main issue was that the attack’s intensity was too high. If it had been an ordinary Truth-Seeking Realm level fight, even if they fought until bloodied, the residual force would never have penetrated so far.
“Too terrifying!”
“What kind of power is this!”
The martial artists from various groups who had been blasted away forcefully suppressed the boiling blood within their bodies, straining to look toward where the firmament had shattered.
Naturally, though the residual force had caused many lower-level martial artists to perish, it still couldn’t suppress most people’s curiosity, so they had to continue… watching the excitement!
Moreover!
We’re now several thousand miles away from the battle zone. If we get affected again, we really… can only accept our fate!
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh!”
In the shattered space region, wind howled like blades.
A dignified elderly man appearing to be around seventy gradually emerged. His gaze was deep and sharp, his withered hands wreathed in extremely pure Heaven and Earth Principles.
Lingtian Immortal Sect’s Supreme Elder, Bo Yaizi.
This person stood proudly within the broken space, every subtle movement emanating a strong warrior’s bearing, completely incomparable to the Ten Great Immortal Sect masters.
“Half-step?”
“No, compared to our old patriarch, he’s still a bit short!”
The Three Dukes and Nine Ministers quickly made their judgment based on the aura he released.
This wasn’t the key point. The key point was… was the patriarch alright?
Everyone released their spiritual sense, and soon discovered Jun Changxiao in a sunken area on the ground. He slowly flew up from the deep crater, the battle armor draped on his body flashing with light, the corner of his mouth raised in a charming smile.
“Hmm?”
Bo Yaizi’s brow furrowed slightly.
The technique he had just executed was the sect’s top martial art, the Lingtian Suppressing Seal Formula. He himself had already comprehended it to the extreme. One palm strike down, yet his opponent was completely unharmed—this was truly somewhat unbelievable.
“No wonder.”
Bo Yaizi thought to himself: “He could eliminate seven sect masters.”
Though his strength was inferior to Gongsun Ruoli’s, he was already very close to half-step. Tonggu Zhenren, Qiye Zhenren, and these other peak Truth-Seeking Realm cultivators were completely beneath his notice.
The palm strike that had just come down—though Jun Changxiao hadn’t withstood it and was struck flying from the warship then beaten back down—judging from how he was completely uninjured, when raised to his peak he was also nearly approaching half-step level!
Everyone’s success is inseparable from diligent effort and dedication, just as Gousheng’s success is inseparable from modifying levels.
Actually, when the Star Spirit Realm’s First Fleet invaded, Bo Yaizi had made an appearance. At that time, Jun Changxiao wasn’t qualified to participate in that level of battle, so viewing from afar, he only felt the opponent’s entire body gathered profound and unfathomable Heaven and Earth attributes, making it difficult to discern his true appearance.
And now?
Not only could he see clearly, he could even count how many nose hairs were sticking out.
People who secluded themselves in closed-door cultivation for years were definitely negligent about grooming. Overgrown fingernails and toenails, disheveled beard, messy hair—all normal.
Slowly flying up and stopping in the high sky, Jun Changxiao lightly brushed dust from his shoulder and said: “This seat gave Lingtian Immortal Sect a way out. Since you’re so uncooperative, then…” The Supreme Immortal Sword appeared out of thin air, his gaze flashing intense killing intent: “Disappear from the Upper Realm!”
“Little brat.”
Bo Yaizi said coldly: “My Lingtian Immortal Sect has stood firm in the Upper Realm for hundreds of thousands of years. How could it be destroyed by a sect that just recently rose to prominence?”
“Supreme Elder…” Lin Haoyan hesitated to speak.
If this sole surviving elder from the older generation didn’t emerge, he would definitely choose to pay compensation to settle matters. After all, he himself had suffered injuries from executing divine abilities, and the sect’s elites had suffered heavy casualties—they couldn’t withstand any more turmoil.
“Haoyan.”
Bo Yaizi stood with hands clasped behind his back, proudly saying: “From its establishment to now standing above all living beings, my Lingtian Immortal Sect achieved this through strength. If today you exchange resources for survival, what face will you have to meet our ancestors beneath the Nine Springs!”
These words containedprestige, penetrating Lin Haoyan’s mind and heart, instantly transforming his originally pained and conflicted gaze into one of determination.
“Supreme Elder!”
“This disciple would rather die with dignity than live in disgrace!”
Bo Yaizi said: “This is what it means to be a person of Lingtian Immortal Sect. This is the spirit of my Lingtian Immortal Sect!”
“Damn it!”
Jun Changxiao cursed in his heart.
This guy spoke so beautifully, as if he himself were the villain!
That same saying again.
The two sects had no distinction between good and evil. Each had different objectives. As long as they didn’t maliciously affect the innocent, who lived or died had nothing to do with righteousness or morality, because in a world that revered martial might, the law was survival of the fittest.
“Fine then.”
Jun Changxiao raised his sword, saying indifferently: “This seat will send you to meet your ancestors beneath the Nine Springs.”
“Whoosh!”
Scorching Fire Soul power enveloped the sword blade as space was rapidly heated and distorted.
One strike hadn’t injured him in the slightest. Bo Yaizi already understood this youth’s strength couldn’t be underestimated, so the True Spirit power and Heaven and Earth Principles within his body frantically erupted, his gaze becoming increasingly solemn.
“Come!”
Jun Changxiao shouted loudly: “You and I shall battle!”
Bo Yaizi said: “If this old man wins by chance, how about we cancel the grudge between our two sects?”
“Sorry.”
Jun Changxiao raised his sword, saying: “You won’t win!”
Here it comes.
Wangu Sect Master VS Lingtian Immortal Sect Supreme Elder.
For now, the battle between these two should be considered the most top-tier martial arts competition in the Upper Realm!
“Whoosh—”
Towering flame sword energy tore through the void like a roaring fire dragon charging forward.
Bo Yaizi’s expression tensed. His withered hands waved through the void, layers of Heaven and Earth attributes stirring layers of space, forming energy fluctuations with extremely high special effects. He shouted loudly: “All Things Annihilation!”
“Crack crack crack!”
“Crack crack crack crack crack!”
Executed by a top-tier expert about to touch half-step, energy fluctuations gathering destructive Heaven and Earth power rapidly surged forward, ultimately colliding with the flame sword energy, producing dazzling brilliant light, and… deafening thunderous sounds.
Fortunately, the Tonggu Warship had timely retreated far away, so the violent residual force didn’t spread over.
“Boom—”
However, in the space-twisting and flame-filled region, a muffled sound suddenly rang out. Bo Yaizi was seen exploding backward like a cannonball, then falling extremely狼狈ly into the low sky. Upon seeing his face clearly, there was an obvious fist print on his right cheek.
“He got hit?”
Tonggu Zhenren and Qiye Zhenren were astonished.
“Whoosh!”
Just then, a crimson stream of light rushed out from the energy explosion zone. Upon approaching Bo Yaizi, it instantly launched dazzling rapid attacks. Each strike sprayed scorching flames and brought the sounds of fist meeting flesh.
“Tonggu…”
Qiye Zhenren said incredulously: “Your disciple’s speed is so fast, I can’t see clearly at all!”
Tonggu Zhenren was dumbfounded.
This attack speed, this intensity of aura release—it was even stronger than before when enhanced by Hua Meigui and bloodline. Had he comprehended something again, gaining a massive increase in strength?
“Good tea.”
Suddenly, a voice of praise came from above.
Everyone looked up in unison, and saw Jun Changxiao standing in the firmament, holding a cup of tea and savoring it carefully.
How was he here?
Then who was fighting Lingtian Immortal Sect’s Supreme Elder?
“Boom—”
From another direction, a thunderous sound came. Bo Yaizi staggered to the ground, retreating dozens of steps before barely stabilizing himself.
“Lingtian Immortal Sect’s Supreme Elder?”
Above, a red-haired man appearing around twenty-some years old gradually emerged from scorching flames, his face full of disdain as he said: “Compared to the Dragon Emperor of the past, you’re far inferior.”
Who?
The Vermillion Bird King!
Standing in the firmament, Jun Changxiao took another sip of tea and said calmly: “With a powerful bodyguard present, why would this seat need to personally take the field?”
“Damn!”
The System roared: “The content severely doesn’t match the chapter title!”
