Si Qiong's soul attacks definitely didn't lose out to the nine ultimate arts of Grand Xia. Yuanfu Realm cultivators had no way to sense their own souls, yet Si Qiong was able to do so.
However, that earlier strike from the black-robed figure had also left a deep impression on the spectators. It was as though the black-robed figure had vanished into thin air, unleashing a sudden slash that almost caused Si Qiong to die. That earlier strike had also caused Si Qiong to break out in cold sweat.
In the battle between Chen Wang and Zhan Chen, as well as the battle between Si Qiong and the black-robed figure, although Chen Wang and Si Qiong had both emerged victorious, they were still able to win by a hair's breadth. From this, one could see the disparity in strength between them. If one dared to underestimate one's opponent, they would definitely die a miserable death.
Si Qiong and the black-robed figure both left the platform. The next battle was between Shi Potian and Qin Wentian.
In this battle, would the powerful Shi Potian be able to suppress Qin Wentian?
Shi Potian from the Shi Clan cultivated the Golden Dragon Battle Art and Stellar Transposition. It was said that his bloodline contained a unique ability that would be extremely terrifying once used.
Shi Potian was ranked # 3 in the previous Heavenly Fate Rankings. Now that he was facing a dark horse, how would he fare in defeating him?
The dark horse that Shi Potian was facing wasn't an ordinary dark horse. Ever since the first round, he was only at the seventh level of Yuanfu. Back then, he had already obtained first place in the Sounding the Drum Challenge Heavenly Will. At that time, he didn't attract too much attention. At the very most, the spectators only knew of him.
After which, he killed Duan Qingshan.
After which, he donned the platinum battle robe, striking the hearts of the spectators again and again.
However, what truly caused Qin Wentian to be taken seriously was his performance in the Vermilion Bird Formation. When he was being pursued by Chen Wang, Chen Wang was the one who suffered a disadvantage, forcing Chen Wang to hide in the cave, and when he came out, he used the most tyrannical method to slaughter Yang Fan, Hua Feng, and the others. Even the powerful Yao Lord was chased away by him with a single sentence.
Qin Wentian had a high chance of entering the top ten of the Heavenly Fate Rankings.
After that, he held Mo Qingcheng's hand on the Heavenly Fate Ranking battle platform, telling the world about the relationship between him and Mo Qingcheng.
And after that, within ten breaths of time, he defeated Emperor Azure.
Time and time again, he had caused the crowd to sigh in admiration. Now, he was fighting for the top three positions, and his opponent was Shi Potian.
Without a doubt, this would be the strongest challenge Qin Wentian had ever faced since he entered the Heavenly Fate Rankings. Back then in the Vermilion Bird Formation, he could still escape from Chen Wang. But on the arena platform, he could only fight.
Shi Potian and Qin Wentian stood on the platform, facing each other.
Qin Wentian, this dark horse, had he reached the end of his path?
A golden dragon-shaped battle armor covered Shi Potian's body. The ancient demon blood in his body seemed to be boiling. Shi Potian was like a dragon-shaped ancient demon, wielding a golden spear as he stepped forward.
One of the Nine Great Arts of Grand Xia, the Golden Dragon Battle Art. Shi Potian had always been cultivating this art, and his combat strength was incomparably strong.
When he walked towards Qin Wentian, the spectators felt as though Qin Wentian was facing a primordial demon.
Qin Wentian's body was clad in demonic armor. Demonic qi gushed forth from him as the blood in his body churned wildly. His palms were filled with boundless strength.
Behind him, a pair of demonic wings appeared, flapping gently as a demonic wind ravaged the arena platform.
"BOOM!"
Shi Potian stepped out as his silhouette vanished from sight. Stellar Transposition, the instant he reappeared, he appeared right in front of Qin Wentian. The golden dragon spear stabbed out explosively, akin to a golden dragon brandishing its claws, wanting to penetrate Qin Wentian's head. This strike was as fast as lightning, there was no way for Qin Wentian to react.
However, a demonic light flickered in the centre of Qin Wentian's brows. His third eye shone with a resplendent light, and at the instant the spear pierced out, he had already locked onto Shi Potian's silhouette.
It was impossible for Yuanfu cultivators to achieve true teleportation. The Stellar Transposition had such a powerful effect because it was able to ignite the Astral Light in an instant, allowing the user to burst forth with terrifying speed, giving off the impression of teleportation. But if a supreme expert were to spectate such a battle, they would be able to clearly see the trajectory of the Stellar Transposition. Naturally, the Stellar Transposition would also increase in power according to the user's strength.
Qin Wentian was also able to see the trajectory of Stellar Transposition. The instant his third eye opened, not even the slightest fluctuation in space could hide from him. This was also the reason why when he was fighting against Emperor Azure, he was able to accurately turn his body around and attack Emperor Azure.
"Bzzz!"
A raging wind gusted as his wings flapped. Qin Wentian's silhouette instantly transformed into a series of afterimages. The golden dragon-shaped spear pierced through the air, yet it only managed to hit the afterimage. Qin Wentian was completely unscathed as he faced Shi Potian.
Shi Potian's countenance stiffened as he stared at Qin Wentian's slowly flapping wings. The speed at which Qin Wentian flapped his wings was extremely terrifying, not much slower compared to Stellar Transposition.
"Peng!" Shi Potian took another step forward as his silhouette vanished once more. This time around, his silhouette directly appeared at the side of Qin Wentian. His golden spear was even faster, even more ferocious. With a single stab, the sound of a sonic boom rang out as the spear pierced into Qin Wentian's silhouette, causing it to explode. However, there was no blood.
"How is this possible?"
The spectators only saw the afterimages of Qin Wentian appearing on the arena platform. Qin Wentian was still floating there, unscathed. The wings on his back were still flapping as he stared at Shi Potian.
"He's able to sense Stellar Transposition, just like when he fought against Emperor Azure. How powerful." The spectators could finally confirm that Qin Wentian's perception was extremely terrifying. He was able to sense the trajectory of Stellar Transposition, allowing him to evade in advance.
Shi Potian naturally understood this as well. He didn't continue using Stellar Transposition, stepping out step by step as a terrifying aura gushed forth from him.
The demonic qi from Qin Wentian towered up into the skies. His arms transformed into the arms of a qilin, thick and powerful. His sharp claws shone with a terrifying light.
"Peng …" Shi Potian's golden spear struck out once more. This time around, he directly attacked Qin Wentian. The golden light from the spear penetrated through everything, it only needed an instant to pierce through Qin Wentian's head. On the tip of the spear, a demonic dragon could be seen baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.
"Strength, I wonder how strong Shi Potian's strength is."
Shi Potian was proficient in strength attacks, and was incomparably tyrannical.
However, Qin Wentian directly blasted out with his arms. The incomparably ferocious qilin claws collided with the demonic dragon Shadow, causing terrifying sounds of collision to echo out.
Sizzling sounds rang out as Qin Wentian was forced backwards. His Mandate of Force was already at the second level, and so was his Mandate of Demon. But in terms of strength, he still couldn't compare to Shi Potian.
The Mandates Qin Wentian had comprehended were: The Mandate of Demons, the Mandate of Metal, and the Mandate of Great Earth. All of them contained a terrifying amplification effect, and all of them were at the second level. In fact, some of them had even reached the Advanced Boundary while Qin Wentian was still stuck at the Initial Boundary.
Just based on pure strength alone, Shi Potian was even stronger than Chen Wang.
And it was precisely because of his strength that Shi Potian was considered the strongest contender for the Heavenly Fate Rankings.
Qin Wentian's arms trembled slightly. This time around, he could sense many different types of Mandates colliding against him. His arms were pierced through by the Fiend Transformation Art, as well as a feeling that his bones were about to shatter. If it wasn't for the fact that his Fiend Transformation Art had already reached the third level, he would definitely have been injured by this attack.
In terms of strength, Shi Potian was extremely terrifying. But Qin Wentian discovered that Shi Potian had a weakness – his speed.
The reason why Shi Potian chose to use Stellar Transposition was because he knew that he was lacking in terms of speed. But of course, whether or not his speed was slow depended on who he was fighting against. If he was fighting against ordinary cultivators at the peak of Yuanfu, his speed definitely wouldn't be any slower.
"Bzzz!" A raging wind billowed as a pair of gigantic demonic wings fluttered in the wind. It was as though those wings were a part of Qin Wentian's body.
Demonic qi gushed forth, and gradually, a demonic silhouette appeared. Qin Wentian's body was enveloped by a screen of demonic light, resembling a true Golden-Winged Roc. That terrifying demonic light circulated around his body, transforming into the most perfect outline of a great roc.
There was a limit to the speed of a human, but if one transformed into a Roc, how terrifying would their speed be?
And this Golden-Winged Roc, did it have the innate abilities of a human? This was the tyrannical aspect of the Fiend Transformation Art.
Qin Wentian was able to perfectly combine the advantages of both humans and demons.
The third level of the Fiend Transformation Art, Fiend Transformation.
Qin Wentian transformed into a Demonic Roc.
"What a powerful innate technique." The hearts of the spectators trembled. Qin Wentian actually transformed into a Demonic Roc.
The eyes of the defeated Emperor Azure gleamed with sharpness. Qin Wentian's Fiend Transformation Art had actually reached the Demonic Transformation Realm. As a descendant of the Di Clan, he had suffered crushing defeats in every aspect.
A raging wind gusted by. On the arena platform, Qin Wentian's silhouette vanished, instantly reappearing in front of Shi Potian. The bell chimes rang out, the Great Roc actually blasted out an ancient bell, aiming for Shi Potian's heart. At the same time, a terrifying claw flashed past, slashing towards Shi Potian.
Shi Potian's countenance turned grim. His long spear slammed out explosively. Although his movement technique was slow, his attack speed was still extremely fast. However, he still didn't manage to touch Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian's figure flickered as another bell chime rang out, piercing his heart. The bell chimes continued unceasingly as the sharp claws slashed towards Shi Potian's back.
Shi Potian gave up on the Golden Dragon Spear. Turning back, he blasted out a terrifying Ancient Heavenly Dragon Imprint. Instantly, the roar of a dragon resounded through the air, but at the instant he touched Qin Wentian, the great roc was already nothing but an afterimage.
Fast, too fast. Qin Wentian was using his speed to break through Shi Potian's advantage in strength.
In that short instant, the two of them clashed countless times. On the arena platform, countless silhouettes appeared around Shi Potian. All of them were the silhouettes of the Great Roc, as well as the sharp claws of the Heavenly Dragon Imprint.
Shi Potian had terrifying strength, yet he had nowhere to unleash it. Even under the effect of gravity, he had no way to slow down Qin Wentian's speed. Qin Wentian's Mandate of Force was also very strong, it was able to contend against his Mandate of Gravity.
"This …" The spectators were completely speechless when they saw this scene. Shi Potian had no way to unleash his full strength.
Shi Potian was infuriated. His heart pounded madly. If this continued, his heart would be destroyed, and he would die without a doubt.
Shi Potian was infuriated. His heart pounded madly. If this continued, his heart would be destroyed, and he would die without a doubt.
With a thunderous roar, Shi Potian's bloodline surged to the heavens. The spectators only saw the silhouette of a gigantic primordial demonic beast appearing within Shi Potian's body. Shi Potian's entire body grew taller and taller as he let out a roar of rage. The sound waves from his roar seemed capable of shattering flesh and blood.
"Shi Potian has completely unleashed the power of his bloodline."
The hearts of the spectators trembled. As expected, these people still had trump cards hidden up their sleeves. Shi Potian's gigantic palms directly grabbed towards the air, ignoring the incoming attacks, wanting to tear Qin Wentian apart. However, Qin Wentian's silhouette instantly vanished, and a palm strike landed on his back, yet Shi Potian completely ignored it. The body of an ancient demonic beast was as sturdy as a mountain, indestructible.
"Too late." The voice of a human rang out from the great roc's mouth. Shi Potian was still frenziedly attacking, while Qin Wentian, who was in the form of a great roc, quietly stood behind him. This bizarre scene once again caused the hearts of the spectators to tremble.
"Is Shi Potian trapped in an illusion?"
"Is this the reason why when Qin Wentian was fighting against Emperor Azure, Emperor Azure's saber slashed at the wrong spot?"
Shi Potian frenziedly unleashed attacks towards the afterimages in the air.
Qin Wentian, who was standing behind him, could sense how terrifying Shi Potian's aura was. His heart shuddered, but everything had already ended.
The light around him manifested the silhouettes of numerous great rocs. In an instant, the silhouettes of the great roc formed an incomparably gigantic silhouette, completely enveloping Qin Wentian within.
"Is that … a Divine Inscription of Combat?"
