"How could this be?"
Celestial Master Ku Xin frowned and looked at Jian Nantian in shock.
The experts who were watching the battle also looked solemn.
They had witnessed the fight between Celestial Master Ku Xin and Jian Nantian from the very beginning.
They saw Celestial Master Ku Xin using a variety of skills and killing moves, such as illusion attacks, soundwave attacks, unique skills, and so on.
However, no matter how many tricks he used, Jian Nantian just stood there indifferently. Therefore, Jian Nantian blocked all the attacks with his sword.
"He was not affected by the Illusion Attack at all?"
"He was not affected by the Sound Wave Attack?"
"Even my most powerful move was blocked by a casual swing of his sword?"
Celestial Master Ku Xin's face darkened. But the next moment, he snorted and said in a low voice, "Jian Nantian, you are indeed a top expert who passed the ninth test of the Samsara Temple and became a Supervisor. You are much stronger than I expected."
"We are both Celestial Masters in the Exceptional Realm, but you are stronger than me. If I met you anywhere else, I would have turned around without saying a word. But here is the home of the Ancient Demon Clan, the foundation of our clan that has been accumulated for hundreds of millions of years … You can't win!"
"Activate the Spirit-gathering Formation!"
As Celestial Master Ku Xin shouted, a dozen Dao Masters of the Ancient Demon Clan gathered on a towering altar in the center of the Ancient Demon Clan. Hearing Celestial Master Ku Xin's order, the Dao Masters' eyes flashed fiercely.
Boom!
A terrifying power erupted from the altar. The power seemed to be devouring the Heaven and Earth. A large amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy in the vast Void began to gather from all directions at an astonishing speed and finally rushed toward Celestial Master Ku Xin.
Celestial Master Ku Xin stood in the Void. As the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy rushed toward him, his aura began to surge at an alarming speed.
Seeing this, Jian Wushuang could not help but narrow his eyes.
"Hmph, the Ancient Monster Clan is indeed well-prepared. They even set up such a large-scale Spirit Gathering Array." Gu Wang smiled faintly.
Jian Wushuang also knew about the Spiritual Energy Gathering Array. It was nothing more than gathering the surrounding Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth and then forcibly devouring it, allowing one to erupt with greater combat strength in a short period of time.
This formation was not rare in the Green Fire World.
If it was just an ordinary Spirit-gathering Formation, Jian Wushuang would not have cared. However, the Spirit-gathering Formation used by the Ancient Monster Clan was so large that it covered an area of at least a million miles.
With such a large area of natural energy converging on Celestial Master Ku Xin's body, Celestial Master Ku Xin's strength naturally improved.
Now, after absorbing the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, Celestial Master Heart-withered's aura had increased by at least 30%. His strength had also increased by 30%.
Although 30% didn't seem like much of an increase, when one reached the level of an Empyrean, even a 10% increase in strength was enough to cause one's attack power, speed, and other aspects to skyrocket.
With a 30% increase in strength, Celestial Master Heart-withered's battle strength had reached a whole new level.
In the Void, Celestial Master Ku Xin's aged face was cold and gloomy. His body was still surrounded by rolling red clouds. Behind him, the Heavenly Monster Shadow, which was already huge to begin with, grew even larger.
"Jian Nantian, now, try to take my claw."
Celestial Master Heart-withered's voice was loud and filled with absolute confidence. The next moment, he attacked again.
It was still the same fierce, lightning-fast claw. This time, surrounded by a layer of red clouds, was aimed at Jian Wushuang.
The moment he attacked, the enormous Heavenly Monster Shadow behind him also swung its claw. A huge blood-red claw fell from the sky, carrying a frightening power. It directly grabbed Jian Nantian's head.
It was the same claw, but this time, the power and speed of Celestial Master Heart-withered's claw were far superior to the previous one.
However, Jian Nantian's expression didn't change at all when he saw the claw coming at him. He still wielded his long sword unhurriedly.
A beautiful sword light flashed out.
The sword light was beautiful and soul-stirring.
Puff!
The huge blood-red claw was broken into two, and a vast power frantically spread out in all directions.
"What?" Celestial Master Heart-withered was shocked.
He could barely accept the fact that Jian Nantian could easily resist the previous claw.
But now, he had activated the Spirit-gathering Formation, which increased his overall strength by 30%. Moreover, he used his full strength to attack Jian Nantian. How could Jian Nantian resist it so easily?
"How could this be?"
"We are both Celestial Masters in the Exceptional Realm. How could Jian Nantian's strength …" Celestial Master Heart-withered was still in shock.
"Celestial Master Heart-withered, since the beginning of the battle, you have already launched countless attacks. Now, isn't it time for you to take my sword?" Jian Nantian's indifferent voice echoed between heaven and earth.
Upon hearing this, all the spectating experts were shocked.
Only now did they remember that Jian Nantian had been standing in the Void without moving since the beginning of the battle. He had been waving his sword casually to fend off Celestial Master Heart-withered's attacks. Although some time had passed, Jian Nantian had never taken the initiative to attack.
He had been passively fending off Celestial Master Heart-withered's attacks. He had never taken the initiative to use his swordsmanship.
"Go!"
Jian Nantian drew his sword.
He was still waving his sword casually, displaying the same beautiful sword move.
Although it was beautiful, it was incredibly fast.
It almost crossed the distance of thousands of miles in a flash and came to Celestial Master Heart-withered.
Celestial Master Heart-withered widened his eyes and looked very serious. Seeing the beautiful sword light coming at him, a vast red cloud suddenly rose from his body and a terrifying aura burst out. He waved his hand again and clawed at Jian Nantian.
The enormous Heavenly Fey phantom grabbed the beautiful sword-light with lightning speed, but the fierce and extremely tearing power contained within the beautiful sword-light suddenly erupted.
Clatter … The scarlet palm was cut open from the middle, along with the huge scarlet arm.
Although the huge scarlet palm was formed by energy, Celestial Master Heart-withered could still feel the stinging pain from his hand. He immediately withdrew his hand.
But Jian Nantian waved his sword again.
The second sword light came.
This time, it was swift and violent. It streaked across the Void like a shooting star and appeared in front of Celestial Master Heart-withered.
