The intense collision even distorted outer space, sending ripples through the atmosphere. Thunder rolls and the cries of ten thousand swords echoed endlessly from the void, while the Irregular Chaos emitted a terrifying power. The crowd didnât need to wait for the outcome; many had already discerned it. Master Luo Cheng was going to win this battle.
After around ten minutes had passed, everything descended into silence. The crowd beheld Li Tianjunâs dismembered body as well as Luo Cheng, who seemed like a heavenly body. As witnessed by the youths present, the inheritor of the most potent lightning method wasnât any stronger than this.
âA Lightning Martial Soul is really terrifying.â
âItâs no wonder that he turned it into a sword. If he combines it along with his Sword Soul, it will suddenly emit a great might.â
âThis is just a Sword Soul with a single special trait. If it had five special traits, how terrifying would it be?â
Many discussions arose, and everyone was stunned by the great masterâs power. Even the Ancient Raceâs geniuses wore solemn and reverent expressions.
âItâs hateful!â Li Tianjun, whoâd sustained substantial injuries, shouted angrily.
Then, he lost all of his life force and followed in his little brotherâs footsteps. So far, he was the most important and influential person to die in a battle.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! The Jialan Clan couldnât sit still any longer. Tian Jun, whoâd lost his sons, one after the other, couldnât bear such a blow. The Jialan Clanâs experts flew out, closely followed by other members of their clan, attempting to prevent anyone from protecting their target.
âDonât hurt yourselves!â Ji Yuan, who was sitting in the best seat, said quietly.
Ji Yuanâs pupils darted about. It seemed like the bodies of the Jialan Clanâs experts, who were at the peak of the Martial Emperor Realm, were confined by magical power. Then, the Wizard Clanâs warriors flew over and encircled them.
âPlease!â Hou Qin asked them to leave bluntly.
None of them had any regard for the Jialan Clanâs membersâ feelings. They targeted them because they were the first people to try and break the rules. As for Luo Cheng, he cast a glance at the Ancient Raceâs members, took the golden ring, and went back to his seat.
The Jialan Clanâs experts suddenly came back to their senses. They were all drenched in sweat. One of them glanced at Ji Yuan warily, before clenching his teeth and leading the others away. However, before he left, his gaze, which was filled with hatred, swept over Luo Cheng, Lu Ping, and the other two women.
The Jialan Clan would surely take revenge! Everyone knew that the vengeance of an epic-grade clan was no small matterâit was no joke. Some people worried about Luo Cheng, while others took pleasure in his misfortune. However, the crowd quickly turned their attention to Luo Chengâs last performance. If Luo Chengâs Sword Soul had possessed all five special traits, then the might of the previous sword strike would have been beyond terrifying. Many people discussed this.
âEverything in the world canât be perfect. Surely, there will be a regretful incident. Only the inheritors of the Four Great Sword Doctrines have a Sword Soul with five special traits.â
When they heard these statements, all of the Sword Pavilionâs disciples snorted disdainfully. A Sword Soul was the pride of the Sword Pavilionâs students.
âA moment ago, the wielder of the dual pupils had confined an apex Martial Emperor with just his gaze. Did you notice?â
âWho can defeat him then?â
âThis ought to just be a special ability possessed by his dual pupils. If he were really so powerful, there wouldnât have been any need to hold this banquet.â
The audience changed the topic once again and talked about Ji Yuanâs power. After a short raucous, the matches continued. Many contestants were eliminated, and the power of the remaining winners only became greater. The most eye-catching among them was the unexpected winner, Long Fei.
Long Fei had managed to defeat all of his opponents, and it seemed like he still hadnât used all his power. The only person who was second to him was the Ancient Ape Clanâs Sheng Tian, whose steel rod strikes were appalling. In the Human Clanâs camp, Lin Tianjianâs performance was as eye-catching as Master Luo Chengâs. None could rival him if he used Eternal Instantâs highest state.
âJiang Chen, letâs fight!â
âItâs time to deal with a certain fly.â
After a round of battles ended, Lin Tianjian and Lin Tian spoke at the same time, issuing a challenge. They were both surprised by this and exchanged glances. Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders and moved back a step. It seemed from the previous performances that Lin Tianjian was a lot stronger than Lin Tian.
Lin Tianjian raised his head proudly and glared disdainfully at Lu Ping. Lu Ping had won a match against a Sword Pavilion disciple, and he possessed seven golden rings. In Lin Tianjianâs eyes, he was a fat pig. It was time to slaughter him.
âAwful!â Both Shangguan Ru and Han Conger were anxious.
It was apparent from the onlookersâ response that Lu Ping didnât have any chance of defeating Lin Tianjian. None of the opponents whom Lu Ping had defeated were on his level.
âWhy donât you come at me together?â
No one had expected that. After Lu Ping ascended the stage, he looked at both Lin Tianjian and Lin Tian, one after the other.
âWhat do you mean by that?â Lin Tianjian furrowed his brow. He couldnât help but assume that Lu Ping was trying some trick.
âYou canât rival even a single one of Lin Tianjianâs fingers, yet you want to fight two people alone?â the Sword Pavilion disciples expressed their displeasure.
âYou arenât one of my targets,â Lin Tian said, clearly expressing that he wasnât interested in him.
However, just then, Jiang Chen also ascended the stage. He said, âArenât you interested in me?â
At that moment, Lin Tian and the others started taking things seriously.
âDo you mean you want a group fight? Two against two?â Lin Tianjian asked.
âThatâs right,â Lu Ping and Jiang Chen replied at the same time.
Lin Tianjian shook his head and said, âCome at me together. I can handle you both alone.â
Because of his performance earlier, people werenât surprised by this, even though one of his opponents was the possessor of the Human Clanâs divine body. Why? Simply because Lu Ping was mediocre.
âIt doesnât fit according to the rules. The number of contestants canât be odd,â the Wizard Clanâs Hou Qin said.
The crowd found this response reasonable at first, but they quickly recalled that Ji Yuan had allowed two people to challenge him together.
âThe Wizard Clan wants to show that they are the best. Only their members are allowed to challenge two people at once,â someone said, immediately figuring out the Wizard Clanâs plan.
âIf you canât accept it, on what grounds will you refuse? Fine, fine.â
After Lin Tianjian spoke, he looked at Lin Tian. Both of them ascended the stage. Then, the first match between the pairs began.
âYou deal with that one, while I deal with this one.â Lin Tianjian arranged everything by himself, and he spoke rudely and disdainfully about Lu Ping and Jiang Chen.
âThatâs what I wanted,â Lin Tian said and shrugged his shoulders.
Then, he went toward Jiang Chen and stood in front of him. The crowd observed carefully and discovered that this wasnât any different from an ordinary match; they were just two matches carried out at the same time. Lu Ping hadnât gained any advantage by proposing a match between pairs.
âCan those two people cooperate and coordinate well?â
Everyone who was slightly familiar with Jiang Chen and Lu Ping knew that they werenât close.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âToday, the Invincible God of War will become a laughingstock.â
Lin Tian was aware of the title Jiang Chen had obtained in the Three Middle Realms. A high-fighting spirit emanated from Lin Tianâs body along with surging power. His formless aura was like raging waves that assaulted Jiang Chen. Lin Tian, who faced Jiang Chen, was more serious and earnest than Lin Tianjian, who was facing Lu Ping. Lin Tian didnât bother feeling out his opponent and used his strongest attacks from the beginning.
âA Finger Pointed at the Sky Draws Earth!â
When the Human Clanâs geniuses witnessed this sight, their expressions changed drastically, especially those of the Junior Heavenly Kings. Lin Tian was capable of turning from the head of the Heaven List into the most eye-catching Junior Heavenly King because of this magical technique. This was one of the thirty-six magical techniques created by the Empyrean Goddess. It exceeded all martial techniques, doctrine methods, and original methods.
