Chapter 744: Chapter 744: Only the Proud Ones (7th Update)
"Too arrogant, right? This is the Soul City Zhao Family we’re talking about!"
"Yes! That’s one of the top ten major families!"
"This kid may be rich, but that amount of money may not even catch the Zhao Family’s eye!"
"Hmm, for the Zhao Family, face is the most important thing."
...
People shook their heads one after another.
In their eyes, Ling Chen daring to oppose the Zhao Family was simply seeking his own death!
"Is there any brilliant genius willing to accept my challenge?"
Ling Chen called out loudly.
"I will!"
Immediately, dozens of prodigious geniuses spoke up.
These people were all top-notch Emperor Realm Divine Thought Masters.
Powerful enough to threaten prodigy-level Spiritual Power Practitioners.
Ling Chen’s cultivation was only at the fifth level of the World Realm, but they were more than capable of dealing with him.
Soon, Ling Chen drew one of the geniuses.
Li Changhe.
Late Emperor Realm!
With a record of defeating fifth-level World Realm powerhouses!
"Soul Extinguishing Needle!"
Li Changhe quietly muttered in his heart as Divine Soul Telekinesis surged out from his Sea of Consciousness, condensing into a transparent three-inch needle.
Against Spiritual Power Practitioners, injuring the opponent’s Divine Soul was the best strategy to defeat the enemy.
With his late Emperor Realm strength, the Soul Extinguishing Needle was incredibly fast and almost instantly entered Ling Chen’s Sea of Consciousness.
He did not continue to attack.
He was very aware that if the Divine Soul Attack was ineffective, he stood no chance against a five-star Emperor.
"Path of the Red Lotus!"
Ling Chen instantly laid out a path of Red Lotus Karma Fire in his Divine Soul at the right moment.
For the Soul Extinguishing Needle to attack his Divine Soul, it had to first pass through this path of Red Lotus Karma Fire.
"Sss!"
The Soul Extinguishing Needle touched the first Red Lotus Karma Fire.
Making a strange noise.
The first Red Lotus Karma Fire did not burn the Soul Extinguishing Needle to ashes.
But that didn’t matter.
There were still many Red Lotus Karma Fires behind it.
"Sss sss sss..."
The Soul Extinguishing Needle passed through the path of Red Lotus Karma Fires one by one.
With each Red Lotus Karma Fire it passed, the power of the Soul Extinguishing Needle weakened a bit.
After only ten Red Lotus Karma Fires, the Soul Extinguishing Needle was completely spent.
Although Ling Chen broke the opponent’s Divine Soul Attack, he still had to pretend as though he was sweating profusely, as if he was struggling against the Divine Soul Attack.
Otherwise, no one would probably want to face him afterward.
At this moment, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Ling Chen.
However, after a long while, Ling Chen’s eyes remained shut.
He showed no sign of awakening.
"Has he been defeated?"
Many people wondered in their hearts.
Even Li Changhe’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
However, Ling Chen’s body was still faintly wrapped in Spiritual Power.
So, Li Changhe did not dare to attack rashly.
After a full ten breaths, Ling Chen opened his eyes.
"Mr. Li’s Divine Soul Attack is indeed powerful!"
Ling Chen smiled faintly.
"He’s not injured?"
"Mr. Li is a conqueror who has defeated World Realm level five Emperors!"
"Could it be that this kid’s cultivation surpasses that of a five-star Emperor?"
...
Everyone’s faces were filled with disbelief.
"Son, you were actually able to break through my Divine Soul Attack, but it took a bit too long."
Li Changhe nodded slightly.
His eyebrows concentrated with Divine Soul Telekinesis, again condensing into a Soul Extinguishing Needle and stabbed towards Ling Chen.
This time, Li Changhe also propelled a silver needle with his Telekinesis, shooting it explosively towards Ling Chen.
"If you had used Telekinesis Flying Sword to attack me earlier, I might not have been able to defend, but now, I already have a defense strategy!"
Ling Chen smiled faintly, easily catching Li Changhe’s Divine Soul Attack.
The Red Long Sword in his hand was held horizontally in front of him, blocking the stab of the silver needle Telekinesis Flying Sword.
"I admit defeat!"
Seeing that his Divine Soul Attack was ineffective, Li Changhe decisively chose to concede.
With a flick of his finger, a Jade Bottle shot towards Ling Chen.
It was precisely ten Soul Gathering Pills.
"You’re kidding? Even Mr. Li is not a match?"
"It seems that only the top-tier talents are making a move now!"
"Yes! Who would have thought this guy is so strong!"
...
Everyone was astonished.
"Next!"
Ling Chen spoke again.
The failure of Li Changhe had led most of the elite warriors to give up.
Only about a dozen remained.
One million top-grade Spirit Crystals were indeed attractive.
But ten Soul Gathering Pills were not a small amount either.
No one was willing to give them away for nothing.
Then, Ling Chen picked another elite warrior.
This person was named Qin Luo.
He was also a top-grade Emperor Realm Divine Thought Master.
His Divine Soul cultivation was stronger than Li Changhe’s, having defeated six-star Emperors.
He was almost invincible under the heavens’ chosen ones!
"Young Master Qin making a move should be able to defeat this person, right?"
"Definitely!"
"Yes! This kid, however strong, can’t be on the level of the heavens’ chosen ones, right?"
"Uh-huh, unless it’s a seven-star Emperor, otherwise, it’s absolutely impossible for him to be a match for Young Master Qin!"
...
People were discussing animatedly.
Their confidence in Qin Luo was unwavering.
"God Destruction Slash!"
Qin Luo opened with his most powerful Divine Soul Attack.
A one-inch small sword condensed from Divine Soul Telekinesis slashed towards Ling Chen.
"Well met!"
Ling Chen was fearless!
In his Sea of Consciousness...
Sun symbols began to rise, intercepting the one-inch small sword.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Even though it was fused with Divine Soul Telekinesis and possessed the scorching power of Red Lotus Karma Fire, it still couldn’t stop Qin Luo’s God Destruction Slash.
"Truly the late Emperor Realm’s Divine Soul Telekinesis!"
Ling Chen exclaimed in admiration.
His own Divine Soul cultivation was ultimately too weak.
Had it not been for his Sunlight Holy Body and the scorching power from fusing Divine Soul Telekinesis and refining the Red Lotus Karma Fire, he probably wouldn’t have been able to withstand the Divine Soul Attack of a mid-Emperor Realm Divine Thought Master.
But no matter.
The Sun symbols were only the first blockade.
"Path of the Red Lotus!"
In front of his Divine Soul, Ling Chen laid down eighteen Red Lotus Karma Fires.
These were genuine Red Lotus Karma Fires, separated from the Red Lotus Karma Fire he had obtained.
They were specifically targeted at the Divine Soul.
They weren’t comparable to the scorching force of Ling Chen’s Divine Soul Telekinesis.
As expected, when the small sword formed by the God Destruction Slash passed through the eighteen Red Lotus Karma Fires, most of its power was extinguished.
Finally, when it entered Ling Chen’s Divine Soul, it was directly burned into nothingness by the Red Lotus Karma Fire within his Divine Soul.
It sounded complicated, but it all happened in an instant.
Shortly after the Divine Soul Attack entered Ling Chen’s Sea of Consciousness, a Telekinesis Flying Sword burst towards Ling Chen’s chest.
With a thought, Ling Chen’s Red Long Sword lit up brilliantly, and with a slash, he deflected the Telekinesis Flying Sword far away.
"What?"
"Young Master Qin’s Divine Soul Attack was ineffective?"
"Is this guy really a seven-star Emperor?"
...
Everyone was extremely shocked.
The top-tier talents had taken action, but they still could not do anything to Ling Chen?
And yet, Ling Chen’s aura remained at the five-star Emperor level.
Doesn’t this mean that only Divine Thought Masters on the level of the heavens’ chosen ones could deal with Ling Chen?
"Young Master’s strength is formidable; I admit my inferiority."
Qin Luo also gave a wry smile.
He casually threw over a Jade Bottle.
Ling Chen smiled.
Then he looked towards everyone.
"Is there anyone else daring to accept my challenge?"
Ling Chen said with a faint smile.
All the geniuses remained silent.
Even Qin Luo was defeated; they would not be Ling Chen’s match if they went up!
Unexpectedly, a five-star Emperor had left them with no recourse!
They could only hope for a heavens’ chosen one to make a move now!
But then, how could such a chosen one care about those one million top-grade Spirit Crystals?
