"Chen Wang against Zhan Chen."
"Si Qiong against the black-robed figure."
"Shi Potian against Qin Wentian."
Three battles, each one filled the hearts of the spectators with boundless anticipation.
When Chen Wang and Zhan Chen stood on the arena platform, countless gazes landed on them.
Chen Wang had transformed into the mysterious and terrifying Zhan Chen. How terrifying would the two of them be when they clashed?
Chen Wang and Zhan Chen stared at each other. The Vermilion Bird let out a long cry as its aura erupted forth. A terrifying battle intent surged forth from both of them, as though it was about to roar.
Chen Wang's entire body was bathed in flames, his bones and blood seemed to have transformed into lava. He resembled a flaming giant, his eyes gleaming with the light of the Great Sun. Behind him, a Great Sun Dharma Body could be seen. Just a single glance at him was enough to strike fear into the hearts of the spectators. The temperature around him was so terrifying that no one dared to approach him.
Zhan Chen's body was enveloped in a layer of golden light. The golden light shone resplendently under the rays of the sun, as though he possessed an indestructible golden body, clashing head-on with Chen Wang's flaming body.
"No matter how strong you are now, you will lose for sure." Chen Wang stared at Zhan Chen as he calmly stated, "No one can obstruct my path."
Zhan Chen's eyes flickered with a terrifying golden light, as though his gaze could kill. In his hands, a golden sword appeared, the Sword of Punishment.
The two of them stepped out, walking towards each other as a towering might gushed forth from Chen Wang's body. On the Vermilion Bird Arena Platform, the two Vermilion Bird silhouettes in the air were also engaged in a fierce battle, screeching madly as they clashed against each other.
"Chi …"
A beam of sword light slashed through the air. Zhan Chen was the first to make his move. The Sword of Punishment contained the might of Heavenly Punishment, capable of cleaving apart everything. His Mandate of Swords erupted forth, his sword contained the might of Punishment, able to end the life and death of his opponent with a single strike.
"BANG!" Chen Wang stepped out, his silhouette directly vanished as astral light erupted forth.
This was the ultimate art of Grand Xia, Stellar Transposition.
Stellar Transposition was the easiest absolute art to master. It could be mastered in a short period of time, but the more proficient one was in practicing it, the more powerful it would be. All nine ultimate arts were like this.
For example, Chen Wang's Great Solar Universe Art, as well as the black-robed figure's Chaotic Art of the Heavenly Devil. The longer they cultivated it, the more proficient they would be. As for others who had only cultivated it for a short period of time, although they also possessed powerful techniques, the power they could unleash was limited. This was also the reason why Emperor Azure was defeated by the black-robed figure.
Emperor Azure seemed to be proficient in all kinds of secret arts, yet he was still defeated by the black-robed figure who only used a single secret art. How could this be?
That was because the black-robed man only cultivated the Chaotic Heavenly Devil Art. He infused all of his energy into the Chaotic Heavenly Devil Art. His Chaotic Heavenly Devil Art was tyrannical to the extreme. When the fifth saber of the Nine Slaughters of Purgatory slashed out, even the heavens and earth turned dark.
Naturally, Emperor Azure didn't cultivate many ultimate arts of Grand Xia. He only cultivated a single one, the Formless Heart Sutra.
The Formless Heart Sutra was obtained by one of the Seven Great Lineages of Grand Xia, the Hua Clan. A few years ago, Hua Taixu relied on the Formless Heart Sutra to dominate the Heavenly Fate Rankings.
The Formless Heart Sutra was invisible and formless, yet it was capable of simulating innate techniques. Emperor Azure's Formless Heart Sutra couldn't even be compared to Hua Taixu's. After all, he had only cultivated it for a few days.
The nine ultimate arts of Grand Xia were: Great Solar Universe Art, Chaotic Heavenly Devil Art, Heavenly Swordplay, Golden Dragon Battle Art, Stellar Transposition, Formless Heart Sutra, Seal of Life and Death, Bloodcurse Imprint and Thunder God's Slash.
Not everyone could cultivate the nine ultimate arts. For example, the Great Solar Universe Art was best suited for fire-type cultivators. As for the Chaotic Heavenly Devil Art, it was exceedingly difficult to cultivate and was also exceedingly dangerous. Hence, there were only a few people who could cultivate it. Although it was the most tyrannical and all-rounded cultivation art, its single-target attacks weren't as tyrannical as the Thunder God's Slash.
The Stellar Transposition was the easiest to cultivate. As for the Seal of Life and Death and Bloodcurse Imprint, only those with unique talent would be able to successfully cultivate them.
The more difficult an ultimate art was, the more effort and price one had to pay, and the more talent one had to pay. But if one could successfully cultivate it, the benefits one could obtain would also be the greatest.
Chen Wang chose the Stellar Transposition because he felt that his attacks were already sufficiently powerful. The other ultimate arts might not be suitable for him. The Stellar Transposition allowed him to unleash instantaneous attacks, as well as the ability to evade.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Wang appeared before Zhan Chen as a terrifying Great Solar Palm imprint blasted onto Zhan Chen's golden body.
The flames of the Great Solar Flame instantly melted Zhan Chen's golden body into a liquid state. The golden liquid started to flow, yet Zhan Chen didn't seem to notice it at all. His eyes were fixated on Chen Wang, wanting to decide the victor of this battle in an instant?
Chen Wang was underestimating him, Zhan Chen.
A malevolent smile flickered in Chen Wang's eyes as the sound of splashing rang out. That golden body of Zhan Chen had actually been completely melted into a liquid state. At this moment, a silhouette directly flew out, slashing out with a sword as fast as lightning.
Chen Wang lifted his arm and made a grabbing motion in the air. The sound of collision rang out, it felt as though his arm was about to be severed. However, his arm had already turned into lava, and he didn't fear pain at all. Chen Wang stared at the sky as a gigantic palm imprint manifested, directly grabbing onto Zhan Chen's body.
"Bzzz!" Another silhouette flew out. Zhan Chen once again transformed into his original form, instantly appearing behind Chen Wang as he slashed out with his sword. As this sword descended, it borrowed the radiance of the Heavens and Earth, as well as the radiance of the sun and moon. The Heavenly Sword, Heavenly Sword, Heavenly Sword, Heavenly Sword, Heavenly Sword, Heavenly Sword.
"Peng …" A powerful astral light erupted forth. Chen Wang also sensed the danger of this attack. His silhouette vanished from sight, appearing on the other side of the arena platform.
Turning his head, Chen Wang stared at Zhan Chen with a puzzled expression.
Zhan Chen had an indestructible golden body?
Why was it that every time Zhan Chen struck him, he would be able to escape like a cicada shedding its carapace?
"I really want to see how long you can endure." Chen Wang soared in the air as he released his Astral Souls. A Great Solar Astral Body appeared behind him, exuding an incomparable majesty. His silhouette instantly appeared in front of Zhan Chen as he frenziedly punched out with his Great Solar Fist. The terrifying might of the Great Solar Universe Art engulfed everything in its path, while Zhan Chen's sword danced in the air. The two of them clashed violently in the air, causing explosive sounds to echo out unceasingly.
"The two of them seem to be indestructible. Zhan Chen was struck at least ten times, while Chen Wang was slashed five times, yet he didn't even frown in the slightest. Too violent." Such a battle caused the hearts of the spectators to tighten. Who would have thought that Zhan Chen would be able to fight against Chen Wang to such an extent? Even if he was defeated, he would still be one of the top three contenders.
"Let's see how long you can last." A voice filled with arrogance rang out as Zhan Chen's golden body shattered once again. The spectators stared at the silhouette of Chen Wang as they sighed. Chen Wang's foundation was indeed deeper than Zhan Chen's. Although Zhan Chen was also very strong, he was still somewhat inferior.
Finally, Zhan Chen was suppressed by Chen Wang and was blasted off the arena platform. Drawing in a deep breath, he landed on the ground as his countenance paled.
In the end, Chen Wang was still the victor.
Chen Wang's strength was evidently higher than Zhan Chen's, but Zhan Chen's abilities were too monstrous. It was as though he was invincible, which was why the battle lasted for so long.
If it wasn't Chen Wang, who else would be able to defeat Zhan Chen?
The second battle, Si Qiong against the black-robed figure.
This was also a battle that caused the spectators to be filled with anticipation. Si Qiong was actually proficient in soul attacks. Other than Mu Feng, who else would be able to injure Si Qiong so severely?
Most probably, only Mu Feng's poison would be able to do so.
RUMBLE ~
The moment the black-robed figure stepped onto the arena platform, he had already unleashed his devil might. He knew how tyrannical Si Qiong's strength was, and how terrifying his soul attacks were.
Si Qiong's figure was slender as he stood there, exuding an aura of sharpness. Just by standing there, he gave off a sense of immense self-confidence.
"The Chaotic Art of the Heavenly Devil, the fifth saber of the Nine Slashes Purgatory isn't enough." Si Qiong calmly stated. He had studied the nine ultimate arts of Grand Xia, and if one could cultivate the Chaotic Art of the Heavenly Devil to its peak, it would definitely be extremely terrifying. However, the cultivation base of the black-robed figure was only at the Yuanfu Realm, and was far from being able to unleash the full might of the Chaotic Art of the Heavenly Devil.
The ninth saber of the Nine Slashes Purgatory gathered the might of the previous eight saber strikes, causing a demonic dragon to descend from the heavens, capable of shattering the heavens and rending the earth.
RUMBLE ~
The devil might was still as strong as ever. Up in the air, the skies darkened as demonic clouds howled, as though a terrifying demonic dragon was roaring in the skies.
A devil saber appeared in the hands of the black-robed figure, as the demonic dragon fused into the saber light. The black-robed figure advanced forward.
For experts who were proficient in soul attacks, they naturally couldn't afford to drag the battle out. If not, their souls would be severely injured, and the consequences would be dire.
Si Qiong's lips moved as sound waves gushed forth from his mouth. This was none other than the Soul Suppressing Melody.
The silhouette of the black-robed figure flickered as he slashed out with his first saber strike. The terrifying saber light caused the sound waves to dissipate.
His movements didn't pause as he slashed out with his second saber strike. This saber strike was already aimed at Si Qiong's face.
"BANG!" Astral light exploded forth as Si Qiong's silhouette vanished from sight, reappearing directly above the head of the black-robed figure. His Stellar Transposition seemed to be even faster and more proficient than before.
"Chi!"
Si Qiong pointed out with his finger as a terrifying black-colored qi current pierced through the air, landing on the body of the black-robed figure.
However at the same time, the black-robed figure slashed out with his third saber strike.
"BANG!"
Astral light exploded forth once more as Si Qiong vanished once again. This time around, he appeared behind the black-robed figure, his lips still moving as he slashed out with his finger once more.
The black-robed figure let out a howl of agony, as though he was in extreme agony. His devilish saber spun in reverse as it slashed out horizontally.
However, Si Qiong vanished once again. This was the third time he executed Stellar Transposition, and he executed it consecutively. This caused the spectators to involuntarily sigh in admiration. Si Qiong's Stellar Transposition was simply too terrifying, and the consumption of Astral Energy in his body was extremely high. It was just that the speed at which he executed Stellar Transposition was extremely fast, allowing him to reduce the consumption of Astral Energy.
Hence, for this strike, Si Qiong's five fingers struck out, pointing straight at the head of the black-robed figure.
Abruptly, the silhouette of the black-robed figure vanished.
Vanished. The black-robed figure vanished without a trace, as though he had never appeared before. At the place where he stood, only a long black robe was left behind.
"Mhm?" Si Qiong furrowed his brows. After which, a hand abruptly stretched out, grabbing hold of his hand. A terrifying wave of Underworld Energy caused his entire body to feel a bone-piercing chill.
"Bzzz …" A saber slashed out, as Si Qiong's other hand abruptly slashed out. Fresh blood splattered in the air, but the finger that was grabbed by the black-robed figure was still pointing downwards.
Finally, the black-robed figure released his grip. Si Qiong explosively retreated, only to see the silhouette of the black-robed figure vanishing from the arena platform as he sat cross-legged on the ground.
"His soul was injured."
The hearts of the spectators involuntarily trembled. The damage to one's soul was extremely terrifying, and the black-robed figure was clearly injured. He had lost to Si Qiong.
Si Qiong was too terrifying, there was a high possibility that he would be contending against Chen Wang for the top ranker of the Heavenly Fate Rankings!
