Chapter 236: Chapter 233: Immortal Technique_1
With the defeat of Cang Shen Region, the calm arena instantly became restless.
"Blazing Flame Saber!"
"Shocking Thunder Palm!"
"Myriad Manifestation Divine Fist!"
Almost simultaneously, all the prodigies attacked, unleashing fierce strikes. Endless murderous intent filled the Void.
"Slash!"
Qin Wudao also joined the battle, wielding the Emperor Sword against the surrounding enemies. Since all his opponents were Heaven Realm Martial Artists, the task was relatively easy for him, yet he didn’t end the battle immediately.
While fighting, he observed the battlefield. Four prodigies caught his attention.
The first was Shen Youlin, sword in his right hand, left hand behind his back. Each of his moves took down an opponent, sweeping across the battlefield like an autumn wind clearing fallen leaves.
The second was Song Yufeng from the Purple Cloud Sect. Though not as fast as Shen Youlin in defeating opponents, those he defeated were all disciples of the Kylin Sacred Land.
The third was a colossal white bear that targeted only humans. Wherever its paws landed, people were sent sprawling.
The strangest of all was the fourth, the Saintess of the Jade Petal Sect, Jade Snow Gentleman. She didn’t eliminate anyone but showcased her movement technique, dancing gracefully across the battlefield like a fluttering flower fairy. Where she passed, the Void was paved with flower petals that lingered for a long moment before dissipating.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Qin Wudao felt a chill on his back. He swiftly turned, raising his battle sword defensively. Just as he did, a dagger glowing with blue light appeared out of nowhere.
CLANG!
Sparks flew.
The blue dagger was successfully blocked.
"Die!"
Qin Wudao’s expression darkened. If not for his potent soul power, the dagger might have struck him, placing him in grave danger.
Without a second thought, Qin Wudao fully activated his Spiritual Energy, unleashing a terrifying Sword Qi that slashed forward.
RUMBLE!
A large section of the Void cracked, and a black-cloaked figure flew out from the shattered space. The powerful impact flipped back his hood, revealing a ghastly pale face.
The Sword Qi was immense and unstoppable!
Before the black-cloaked figure could even catch his breath, he was sent flying by the Sword Qi. Blood splashed as he crashed onto the stage, unable to rise again.
On his chest, a long sword wound was visible, so deep the bone could be seen. Blood flowed ceaselessly, staining a large patch of ground red.
A referee flew onto the stage, expressionlessly led the black-cloaked figure away, and announced the end of his match.
A beam of Fortune descended from the East Border Monument, considerably thicker than Cang Shen Region’s!
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for defeating the 326th-ranked special physique, ’Mystic Water Ice Spirit.’ Sign-in reward: Sima Yi. Summon?"
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for defeating the 873rd-ranked special physique, ’Dark Hidden King Body.’ Sign-in reward: Zhang Jiao. Summon?"
Hearing the system’s prompts, Qin Wudao knew these were the rewards for defeating Cang Shen Region of the Cang Sea Ancient Court and the man in black. Slightly pleased, his eagle-like eyes searched for his next target.
After a couple of breaths, his gaze landed on a young man wielding a cudgel.
"Mysterious Heaven Cudgel!"
Feng Yangzhi, the young Pavilion Master of the Diamond Pavilion, roared. He waved his massive cudgel, forming a golden cudgel shadow. With the force of an all-conquering army, he sent the five opponents battling him flying.
"Hahaha..."
After defeating his opponents, Feng Yangzhi threw his head back and laughed, his face alight with triumph.
But very soon, he could no longer laugh.
Qin Wudao, holding the Emperor Sword, regarded the other prodigies as insignificant and walked towards Feng Yangzhi, exuding an Emperor’s might. With each step, the Void trembled.
Feng Yangzhi also noticed Qin Wudao. His expression grew solemn, and he gripped his cudgel tightly. He knew well that this youth, younger than himself, was exceedingly terrifying.
"You may make the first move!" Qin Wudao said, not launching a sneak attack but waiting for Feng Yangzhi to act.
He acted with integrity, for this was his Martial Path, and even more so, his Imperial Path!
"Good!"
Seeing Qin Wudao allow him the first move, Feng Yangzhi felt an unexpected flicker of goodwill toward him. "Then be careful!"
As soon as his words fell, countless dazzling golden lights shot out from his body; even his skin turned golden, like a golden man, exuding a vast and powerful aura.
The Void roared as a golden cudgel imprint, hundreds of feet in size, materialized. Strands of terrifying Power of Laws surged skyward, incomparably violent.
With one strike of the cudgel, all things perish!
Qin Wudao narrowed his eyes, also raising the Emperor Sword, and condensed a Sword Qi imbued with infinite sharpness!
The two attacks collided, creating ripples that spread in all directions, sweeping away the nearest prodigies and throwing them off the platform.
The prodigies thrown from the platform: ??? What just happened? I was doing fine! How did I lose so inexplicably?
"Incredible!"
From amidst the turbulent aftermath, Feng Yangzhi’s voice, tinged with inexplicable excitement, emerged.
The next moment, the Void began to tremble as another golden cudgel qi formed, covered in countless mystical patterns and containing utterly terrifying energy.
At the same time, a Sword Qi tore through the air, carrying an aura of cosmic dominion and of being the sole revered one, fiercely slashing towards the cudgel qi.
A DRAGON’S CRY!
The sound was deafening. Dragon patterns materialized on the Sword Qi, and strands of Imperial Dao Law surged, suppressing all.
CRACK!
The golden cudgel qi resisted for a moment before it was overwhelmed, shattering in the middle and dissolving into countless specks of light that filled the sky.
The imposing Sword Qi slashed down fiercely!
"You’ve won!"
At the crucial moment, Feng Yangzhi’s voice, tinged with exhaustion, sounded out.
A faint smile touched Qin Wudao’s lips. He retracted his Sword Qi and turned to find his next target. By now, most of the prodigies had already been eliminated, and his time was running short.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for defeating the 130th-ranked special physique, the ’Vajra Body,’ and obtaining the Buddhist Divine Skill: ’Five-Character Mantra’!"
Five-Character Mantra?
Qin Wudao was momentarily stunned. Information about the Five-Character Mantra surfaced in his mind. It was a supreme Buddhist Divine Skill, capable of nullifying all techniques in the world, its power immeasurable.
"Ah, Roh, Poh, Jeh, Nahng!"
Qin Wudao subconsciously uttered the syllables. Instantly, a profound energy swept out in all directions. All incoming attacks vanished completely, and even the Martial Artists who had launched those attacks were sent flying backward.
Just five syllables had severely wounded more than a dozen people!
Qin Wudao sucked in a sharp breath!
"What happened?"
In the spectator stands, all the Martial Artists were stunned, unable to react. Even the experts at the Saint King Realm hadn’t clearly seen Qin Wudao’s attack; they only sensed an inexplicable energy.
A Buddhist Immortal Technique? An interesting fellow!
From the hovering Imperial Seat, Great Emperor Kylin’s gaze shifted to Qin Wudao, a hint of surprise in his eyes. With his Great Emperor Realm cultivation, almost nothing in this world could escape his perception.
Outsiders couldn’t perceive the attack Qin Wudao had launched, but he saw it clearly, even knowing its origin.
In the western part of the continent lie countless temples and myriad Buddhas!
There is a sacred ground called the Great Thunder Sound Temple!
Perfect. He can serve as a stepping stone for my son!
Great Emperor Kylin mused, turning his gaze to Shen Youlin, who strolled with leisurely confidence. Even though Qin Wudao possessed a Buddhist Immortal Technique, the Emperor no longer paid him much mind.
The Kylin Sacred Land also possessed Immortal Techniques!
