Facing the dense barrage of sound waves hurled at him, Ma Yunqing wielded his Shadowless Unparalleled Killing Blade, slashing and chopping with all his might.
However, in the end, he could not withstand Xue Rou'er.
…
Shaking his head, Ma Yunqing chose to concede.
Xue Rou'er became the sole victor on this continent, successfully advancing to the quarterfinals.
Xue Rou'er became the second inner disciple to advance to the quarterfinals.
…
On the other side.
Lu Yi faced Long Ao Potian.
Long Ao Potian, shouldering his long spear, stood upon the continent, an incredibly domineering aura sweeping across heaven and earth, engulfing the entire arena.
Lu Yi, on the other hand, held the Spring and Autumn Brush in one hand, while behind him appeared the magnificent and vast landscape of ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains.
…
Lu Yi struck first, brandishing the Spring and Autumn Brush, unleashing the magnificent and vast scenery of ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains, bringing it down upon Long Ao Potian!
Do you know the weight of ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains?
Ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains, their weight is boundless!
…
Long Ao Potian frowned, and in his eyes, the entire world seemed to transform at that instant.
Long Ao Potian let out a roar, his spear dancing, and a silver phoenix shadow, spanning heaven and earth, materialized behind him.
Long Ao Potian swung his spear without hesitation, aiming for Lu Yi.
The colossal phoenix body, spanning heaven and earth, suddenly coiled and soared, displaying its noble majesty to all.
Following this, the silver phoenix met the magnificent and vast landscape of ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A thunderous roar echoed, its terrifying sound reverberating across the entire continent fragment.
Cracks began to appear in this space.
…
The next second, Lu Yi vanished without a trace, his presence no longer found anywhere on the continent!
Long Ao Potian frowned and employed a pupil technique, his eyes erupting with silver light at that moment.
Dozens of meters away from Long Ao Potian, Lu Yi suddenly appeared.
With speed almost imperceptible to the human eye, Lu Yi wielded the Spring and Autumn Brush, a flurry of brush strokes, flashing with cold light, as he charged towards Long Ao Potian!
Long Ao Potian felt a sense of danger.
Unlike before, when facing enemies, Long Ao Potian could defeat them by relying on overwhelming force to overcome intricate techniques.
However, against Lu Yi, one of the Nine Saintly Sons of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, this approach would undoubtedly be an admission of defeat.
Therefore, Long Ao Potian, at this moment, took out a high-grade defensive talisman, the "Silver Dragon Scale Armor Talisman," from his storage bag and affixed it to himself.
Brilliant and vast silver light erupted instantaneously, covering Long Ao Potian from head to toe.
Instantly, a resplendent silver dragon scale armor appeared on Long Ao Potian's body, dazzling to behold!
…
Reinforced by the Silver Dragon Scale Armor Talisman, Long Ao Potian, who had withstood the wave of attacks, began to counterattack Lu Yi.
Long Ao Potian's spear and Lu Yi's Spring and Autumn Brush collided without flourish!
…
Long Ao Potian had not been idle these past few years; during an exploration, he had discovered a legacy from the primeval era.
This primeval legacy contained not only numerous secret techniques but also phoenix blood and a broken spear from the primeval era.
Long Ao Potian's combat prowess was not to be underestimated.
Long Ao Potian pointed his spear at Lu Yi.
He was like a changed person when he became serious, his handsome face filled with coldness and ruthlessness.
His long spear bent into a full moon, and then, Long Ao Potian unleashed a concentrated thrust, aiming directly at the heart, forcing Lu Yi to retreat repeatedly.
With his momentum established, Long Ao Potian was unstoppable. Before long, Lu Yi, gritting his teeth, fled into the air, his right hand holding the Spring and Autumn Brush already stained with blood.
…
"Hahaha, Lu Yi, one of the Nine Saintly Sons, seems to be nothing more than this!"
Seeing victory within his grasp, Long Ao Potian, in his arrogance, could not resist taunting Lu Yi.
However, Lu Yi was no ordinary individual, and Long Ao Potian's dismissive remark ignited the awe-inspiring killing intent within the proud Nine Saintly Son.
He took out a fragmented ancient book from his storage bag and, in conjunction with the Spring and Autumn Brush, launched another attack at Long Ao Potian.
…
The Spring and Autumn Brush inscribed text, the fragmented scroll recorded text, and the two merged. In Lu Yi's hands, they actually conjured a phantom world.
Taiji gave birth to Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang gave birth to the Four Symbols, the Four Symbols evolved into the Eight Directions, the Eight Directions formed heaven and earth, heaven and earth transformed into the universe, and finally, a world was born.
A vast and immeasurably heavy world pressed down upon Long Ao Potian.
At this moment, Long Ao Potian was astonished to find his movements becoming increasingly strenuous, as if constrained by the power of this world.
…
Seeing Long Ao Potian suppressed and unable to move, Lu Yi said with a grim expression, "Although you are indeed very strong, and possess considerable combat power."
"However, at this moment, I am also very curious about what trump cards you possess that allow you to look down on me."
Although Lu Yi only spoke this sentence, it inexplicably conveyed an extremely chilling aura.
Hearing this, Long Ao Potian fell silent. The arrogance he had possessed moments before had vanished without a trace.
…
The next moment, Long Ao Potian ignited all the spiritual energy within his body, and silver halos appeared above his head.
Then, Long Ao Potian wielded his long spear, and countless spear shadows shot up into the sky. The illusory world shattered like bubbles!
However, in the process, Long Ao Potian's spiritual energy was largely depleted. Taking a few recovery pills was like trying to bail out a sinking ship with a cup.
…
Lu Yi, holding the Spring and Autumn Brush in one hand and the fragmented scroll in the other, depicted the scenes of the creation of the world through earth, fire, wind, and water.
Seeing this, Long Ao Potian unleashed an attack, his spear piercing the void, intending to end the battle quickly and defeat Lu Yi while he still had some spiritual energy.
The depictions of earth, fire, wind, and water drawn by Lu Yi with the Spring and Autumn Brush seemed to have no effect whatsoever, unable to impede the spear that spanned heaven and earth!
…
Seeing that this strike had achieved nothing, Lu Yi showed no disappointment. He knew that Long Ao Potian's strength was still formidable, and he began to engage in a continuous struggle with him!
The two engaged in a peak duel on the continent fragment.
Long Ao Potian roared, employing a secret technique to absorb all the surrounding spiritual energy into his body, then soared upwards.
The spear in his hand thrust forward, its tip extending for dozens of feet, whistling through the air.
This spear appeared ordinary, even less imposing than his previous ones, but its immense spiritual energy was all contained within, held in readiness. Once it struck Lu Yi, it would detonate, unleashing unimaginable power.
Lu Yi, holding the fragmented scroll and the Spring and Autumn Brush, drew a never-ending flowing great river, applying the art of overcoming the rigid with the soft to its extreme.
…
Lu Yi's battle with Long Ao Potian had already lasted for three hours!
During these three hours, both Lu Yi and Long Ao Potian had unleashed a hundred means, with various artifacts and techniques appearing endlessly.
"High-grade Talisman—Six Ding Five Soldier Armor Talisman!"
As the battle reached a critical juncture, Long Ao Potian took out a multicolored talisman from his storage bag, glanced at it with a pained expression, and then used it.
A massive surge of spiritual energy erupted, condensing a treasure armor made of runes beside Long Ao Potian. The armor was thick and heavy, exuding formidable defense.
…
With a "bang"!
The Spring and Autumn Brush penetrated three inches into the rune armor and could not advance further.
"Primeval Relic—Spike of Judgment!"
Seeing this, Lu Yi's brow furrowed, and he patted his storage bag.
An extremely dazzling white light shot out from the bag. Under the impetus of spiritual energy, terrifying power surged upwards, enveloping the area where Long Ao Potian was.
The dazzling white light instantly struck Long Ao Potian, and the terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations caused the entire continent to tremble ominously.
…
"You..."
Long Ao Potian looked down at the wound on his chest, from which blood was slowly flowing. In the next second, the rune armor shattered, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
However, Long Ao Potian did not surrender. He took out a purple banner, about three to four inches long, from his storage bag, summoned a great deal of purple mist, and charged at Lu Yi again.
Lu Yi and Long Ao Potian fought for another half hour. Finally, Long Ao Potian, due to his spiritual energy being exhausted, regretfully lost to Lu Yi.
Long Ao Potian gave a wry smile, shook his head, and then, with a thought, conceded and left the area.
Lu Yi became the sole victor on this continent, successfully advancing to the quarterfinals.
Lu Yi became the third inner disciple to advance to the quarterfinals.
…
At this very moment, in another continent fragment.
Su Youshi, one of the Nine Saintly Sons, and Mo Wen, also one of the Nine Saintly Sons, had already begun to fight.
Su Youshi and Mo Wen, just like Xue Rou'er and Ma Yunqing, first joined forces to eliminate the other inner disciples on the continent fragment.
Then, Su Youshi and Mo Wen engaged in a one-on-one duel.
…
Facing Mo Wen, another of the Nine Saintly Sons, Su Youshi did not dare to be careless. As soon as they began to fight, he unleashed his strongest means, throwing out the Luoshu Array Diagram and the Hetu Array Disk, forming a colossal array that reached the heavens.
This heavenly array was named the Star Dou Array.
Within the array, numerous star fragments transformed into meteorites, flying and scattering everywhere!
…
"Senior Brother Mo Wen, if you dare, come and walk through this Star Dou Array."
"If Senior Brother Mo Wen can break this array, I, Su Youshi, will naturally concede!"
Su Youshi's figure flickered and vanished into the extremely dangerous Star Dou Array.
Su Youshi said this not out of arrogance. As an array master, his personal combat power was pitifully weak compared to heavenly talents of the same level.
