Di Tian had always been famous in Lifire City for his weaponsmithing. No one doubted his identity as a weaponsmithing grandmaster but up until now, he had never fought before. It was only when he went to the Yan Clan for the sake of fame did he fight a few battles. After that, he rejected Liu Feibai's challenge. Hence, the people of Lifire City had no idea how strong Di Tian's combat prowess was.
Right now, there were hundreds of experts on the towering platform. All of them were supreme emperors from the major powers of Lifelong City as well as the nine world palaces. As for ordinary immortal emperors, even if they were at the peak-stage, they wouldn't dare to go up casually. From this, one could very well imagine how brutal the battles would be. Under such a situation, even if the people of Lifire City thought highly of Di Tian's strength, it was impossible for him to stand out. A mid-stage immortal emperor like him could only be cannon fodder.
On the contrary, they hoped to see one person. That mysterious person who defeated the four governors consecutively, including Xiao Yu. However, this mysterious existence didn't appear.
"For the battle today, we will stop here. As long as one side concedes, the battle will stop immediately. The rules are very simple, all of you will stand at the periphery and casually step out. You can challenge anyone you want and the last ten remaining will be the top ten." The protector of the Realmlord spoke to everyone.
There was no need for him to say anything, everyone already knew the rules. The rules of this spar were very liberal and wasn't that strict. Under the eyes of the Realmlord and other experts, no one would be able to play any tricks. It was very easy to tell who was stronger and who was weaker. Other than the ranking of the top ten, there was no need to do so. If one couldn't win, they would be eliminated.
At this moment, a resplendent light suddenly shone from the towering platform in the center. A translucent barrier of light appeared in the surroundings, forming a gigantic formation that protected the platform, preventing the shockwaves from the battle from spreading outwards. A battle between peak-stage immortal emperors would naturally cause ripples to spread far and wide. Hence, this towering platform was like a supreme formation that protected the entire area.
At the periphery, many beams of light appeared, transforming into a circular barrier that could envelop a single person. If the participants were to stop their battles, they could sit inside and watch the battle. There was no need to worry about being affected by the shockwaves.
Everyone stepped into the hall. Hundreds of people entered the hall.
"That fellow Di Tian, why must he do this?" Jialan Yuntian sighed. "His cultivation base is at the mid-stage of the immortal emperor realm, he would surely become the target of others. As long as he fought against him, he would surely lose. Why bother?"
"Maybe there would be a pleasant surprise?" Jialan Yunhai laughed.
"There might be. Maybe he can jump levels to fight but that's only against ordinary peak-stage immortal emperors. But in this place, there are so many empyrean peak-stage immortal emperors. How can he jump levels?" Jialan Yuntian shook his head. It wasn't that he looked down on Di Tian. In fact, he was very confident in Di Tian. If this was a mid-stage immortal emperor battle platform, he was even willing to believe that Di Tian might be able to enter the top ten. Sadly, this wasn't the case.
On the platform, a person walked out. This person was at the peak-stage of the immortal emperor realm and was an expert from the Sword Spirit Sect. Di Tian had met him before in the Jialan Clan of Lifelong City.
After he walked out, his gaze immediately landed on Di Tian.
Back then in the Jialan Clan, there was an expert from the Sword Spirit Sect who tried to act against this person but was almost blinded. Now that they encountered each other here, it was clear that this matter had to come to an end.
Although it wasn't Di Tian who appeared that day, it was his original self. But to Di Tian, there was no difference. Hence, when he saw the gaze of his opponent, he knew that he had to participate in the first battle.
"Since you are a weaponsmithing grandmaster, why must you appear on the battle platform of the martial path? This place isn't suitable for you." That peak-stage immortal emperor from the Sword Spirit Sect coldly spoke. His gaze was extremely terrifying, like sharp swords that could pierce through one's soul.
Qin Wentian has already fought against two experts from the Sword Spirit Sect before. One of them was even Xiao Yu. Qin Wentian naturally understood what the Sword Spirit Sect was proficient in. His eyes were as black as ink as he calmly spoke, "Whether it's suitable or not, it naturally isn't determined by words."
"This fellow …" Jialan Yunhai stared at Di Tian. "The one who challenged him is Xiao Mo from the Sword Spirit Sect. His strength is extremely powerful and although he can't be compared to a supreme character like Xiao Yu, it's more than enough to defeat ordinary peak-stage immortal emperors."
Jialan Qiuyue's beautiful eyes flashed with worry. Jialan Yuntian glanced at her and smiled, "Don't worry, even if Di Tian is defeated, his life won't be in danger. He knows his limits."
"Who's worried?" Jialan Qiuyue blushed as she denied it.
Jialan Yuntian smiled but didn't say anything. His gaze turned back to the towering platform in the center. Hundreds of experts stood at the edge of the platform. Only Xiao Mo and Di Tian from the Sword Spirit Sect stood in the center of the battlefield.
Xiao Mo's eyes were as sharp as swords. He had a cold smile on his face as he stepped forward. His soul transformed into sword intent, directly piercing into Di Tian's eyes. Sword qi gushed forth, capable of annihilating souls.
Qin Wentian cultivated the Undying Scripture, his avatar Di Tian was naturally the same as well. The Undying Scripture focused on the soul, it wasn't a type of law energy. Their hearts and minds were connected and there naturally wouldn't be any problems. Xiao Yu's sword soul couldn't do anything to Qin Wentian, how could Xiao Mo kill Di Tian's soul?
He also turned his gaze over. His holy will transformed into a sword soul that directly shot into Xiao Mo's eyes. Between their gazes, there seemed to be a terrifying clash of energies.
"BANG!" Xiao Mo's eyes flashed as a resplendent light shot forth. He stepped forward as strands of sword souls manifested in the air, all of them rushing into Di Tian's body. Although the sword souls weren't as powerful as Xiao Yu's, they were still extremely terrifying.
Di Tian's black robes fluttered in the wind as his black hair danced in the wind. His eyes abruptly changed, becoming even more terrifying, resembling an incomparably pitch-black vortex of sealing.
"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!" The pitch-black vortex of sealing abruptly appeared in the air, directly sealing the sword souls within. The sword souls struggled violently but the vortex of sealing shot out from Di Tian's eyes grew more and more terrifying. It was like a pair of eyes of sealing had appeared in the sky, unceasingly radiating a terrifying sealing energy, causing the sword souls to have no way to break free.
The entire space trembled violently. This entire space gradually transformed into a world of sealing. Not only did it want to seal the sword souls, it wanted to seal Xiao Mo's own strength as well. When the terrifying sealing light blasted into Xiao Mo's body, the sword light radiating from Xiao Mo's body shone resplendently, trying to resist. However, the sealing light directly enveloped Xiao Mo's sword screen, sealing the entire space within it. Gradually, Xiao Mo's body was being devoured, sealed bit by bit. If this continued, Xiao Mo's entire body would be sealed as well.
"I admit defeat!" Xiao Mo roared. He could no longer sense the astral law energy descending upon him. His resistance grew weaker and weaker while his opponent's strength grew stronger and stronger. If this continued, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Di Tian's eyes gleamed with a terrifying light as the boundless sealing law energy instantly dissipated. Everything returned to normal. Xiao Mo's countenance was like dead ashes. From the start to the end, Di Tian didn't even make a move. He merely released his astral law energy from his eyes and Xiao Mo was already defeated. How humiliating was this defeat?
What's even more terrifying was that his opponent was merely a mid-stage immortal emperor. This simply caused him to have no face to continue staying here.
With a flash of his silhouette, Xiao Mo lowered his head and fled from the platform. He simply didn't have the face to see anyone.
The people from the Sword Spirit Sect stared at Di Tian, their expressions extremely unsightly. Their Sword Spirit Sect's disciple, Xiao Mo, actually suffered such a miserable defeat. It was very hard for them to have a good impression of Di Tian.
"Not simple." The spectators all sighed in their hearts. As expected, they mustn't underestimate any geniuses. A mid-stage immortal emperor directly used sealing arts to suppress Xiao Mo from the Sword Spirit Sect.
The people from the Jialan Clan were all stunned. Jialan Yuntian was even more dumbfounded. He felt that he was already very optimistic about Di Tian. In his heart, he did have a trace of hope for Di Tian's victory. But such an ending still caused him to be stunned. Xiao Mo actually couldn't even withstand a single strike from Di Tian. Such a disparity, whose cultivation base was higher exactly?
Was Di Tian really just a genius weaponsmith grandmaster?
How ridiculous. Even if his identity as a weaponsmith was removed, Di Tian was still a character at the peak, able to easily display his glory.
"Seems like I've still underestimated him." Jialan Yuntian sighed. He cast a deep glance at Jialan Qiuyue, hoping that she would be able to walk together with Di Tian.
At this moment, Jialan Qiuyue's beautiful eyes also froze. She thought back to the words Di Tian said when she sent him off. She suddenly felt more and more curious about Di Tian's appearance. His strength caused her to be pleasantly surprised. In that case, his appearance should also be as handsome as he said, right?
The people from the Jialan Clan stared in the direction of the Lifire Empyrean with interest. And as expected, the Lifire Empyrean's expression turned unsightly when he saw this scene. His subordinate, Xia Hou, was the same as well.
"It's just a single victory, it doesn't count for much." Xia Hou coldly spoke. Beauty Xiao who was at the side smiled but didn't say anything. This Xia Hou must be extremely unhappy in his heart.
Not far away, Liu Feibai's expression grew even more unsightly. Back then when he challenged Grandmaster Di Tian, the Liu Clan once spread the news that Di Tian didn't dare to accept the challenge. Now, it seems that Di Tian really didn't dare to accept the challenge?
Maybe, Di Tian simply couldn't be bothered to accept the challenge. From the start to the end, this Di Tian had always looked down on him, a genius of the Liu Clan. When he thought of this, Liu Feibai clenched his fists tightly, feeling a sense of humiliation.
Di Tian himself didn't have the time to care about the thoughts of others. He returned to the light screen at the border of the Lifire Empyrean and very swiftly, more and more people walked out to challenge others. As more and more intense battles erupted, this grand banquet of the martial path was about to begin.
This was especially so for those peak-stage immortal emperors from the peak powers. They could be said to be unrivalled in the immortal emperor realm with terrifying combat prowess. When they challenged their opponents, they could insta-kill them, simply tyrannical to the extreme. In such a battlefield, even Di Tian felt waves of pressure gushing over him!
