Before the monument in the Immortal Martial Realm, twelve silhouettes were quietly comprehending the energy within.
These twelve were the eight era-suppressing geniuses:
Gu Liufeng, Ji Feixue from the Battle Sword Sect, Di Shi from the Supreme Clan, Li Tian from the Heaven Punisher Clan, Dongyue Hanjiang from the Eastern Mountain Country, Chi Lian from the Blood Devil Palace, Chi Lian from the Chi Clan of the Western Region, Holy Maiden Fan Miaoyu from the Forgotten Immortal Tower, and Hua Taixu from the Taixu Sect.
Among them, Fan Miaoyu was the only female among the eight era-suppressing geniuses. She had the same identity as Chi Lian, she was the Holy Maiden of the Tianfan Sect and also a disciple of the Forgotten Immortal Tower.
In the Royal Sacred Region, many geniuses from the aristocratic clans would send their disciples to the nine great sects, allowing them to have a better cultivation platform. This wasn't strange at all.
Not only that, if these geniuses reached a higher level in the future, the powers they were in would be more than happy to send them there. If they stayed in the sect and restricted the growth of others, that would simply be a short-sighted and selfish action. Some people were destined not to stay in the sect forever, the sect would only grant them their wish, allowing them to walk towards a more glorious stage.
Among the eight, Gu Liufeng's fame was the highest, Fan Miaoyu's cultivation was the highest, Hua Taixu from the Taixu Sect was the latest to rise to fame and was the most mysterious.
As to why the cultivation bases of the eight era-suppressing geniuses were all at the seventh level of Heavenly Dipper or above, it was because when their cultivation bases were weak, their battle achievements wouldn't attract too much attention. Hence, only after they reached the sixth level of Heavenly Dipper would their glorious battle achievements be known to the world.
Other than these eight, the other four out of the twelve were: Qin Wentian from the Battle Sword Sect, Lou Bingyu from the Battle Sword Sect, Nangong Shuang from the Nangong Aristocrat Clan, and Si Ling from the Violet Thunder Sect. Si Ling was also a descendant of the Si Clan from the Grand Shang Empire.
Of these twelve, three were from the Battle Sword Sect. Ji Feixue, Lou Bingyu, and Qin Wentian. This also caused many to sigh in admiration. The individual combat prowess of the Battle Sword Sect was as tyrannical as ever.
Lou Bingyu had always kept a low profile and rarely appeared in public. But because she was the doted personal disciple of the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness, her reputation was known by many. However, this Qin Wentian was a complete dark horse. Even when Di Shi personally acted, he still failed to blast him out.
The twelve of them were all quietly comprehending. Clearly, they were all more cautious now, and at the same time, they were silently increasing their strength.
This time around, Qin Wentian chose the stone monument Di Shi was cultivating on not long ago. In this stone monument, resplendent astral light could be seen flickering in the air. A silhouette stood proudly in the air, this silhouette was actually able to split into a million copies in an instant, launching attacks at the same time, causing the hearts of those who saw it to tremble.
This attack was none other than the innate technique Di Shi used to injure Qin Wentian. However, Di Shi's comprehension was only at the tip of the iceberg. The millions of copies of this silhouette in the air were extremely tyrannical and terrifying. In that instant, it felt as though the heavens and earth were about to collapse. Qin Wentian's deep eyes gleamed with excitement as he stared at the sky. Resplendent and resplendent, it was as though a starry sky could be seen in his eyes.
If the innate technique of this stone monument was condensed into a million copies and blasted out at the same time, even the constellations in the heavens and earth would be plucked from the sky. The might of this attack could truly shake the heavens and earth. How could Qin Wentian not be excited? This made him even more certain that his choice wasn't wrong. Hence, he steeled his heart and steadied his cultivation method, immersing himself in the comprehension of this stone monument.
On the floating bridge, an expression of astonishment appeared on Ouyang Kuangsheng's face when he heard Ye Lingshuang's words. He stared at Ye Lingshuang as he pointed to a silhouette in front of a stone monument, "You said that person is Hua Taixu?"
"Yes, Hua Taixu from the Taixu Sect. There were two battles that made him famous. The first was when he slew a fearsome expert with a high cultivation base, and the second battle was when he fought against one of the era-suppressing geniuses, Dongyue Hanjiang. He wasn't at a disadvantage at all, causing his fame to soar as he became the eighth era-suppressing genius." Ye Lingshuang nodded. Ouyang Kuangsheng was still dumbfounded.
In truth, Hua Taixu was still the idol of Ouyang Kuangsheng when he was younger, a character he wanted to surpass. He had naturally seen Hua Taixu before, but the heroic Hua Taixu from back then had changed. Regardless of his countenance or demeanor, he gave off an unfathomable feeling. But when he looked closely, Ouyang Kuangsheng could still recognize him.
"It's true." Ouyang Kuangsheng was stunned. Before this, although he had cast a glance at Hua Taixu, because Hua Taixu's aura had changed, it was easy to overlook him when compared to the other seven. Hence, he didn't pay too much attention to Hua Taixu, hence he didn't recognize him. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel shocked in his heart. The most dazzling young genius of Grand Xia, Hua Taixu, had actually become so dazzling after coming to the Royal Sacred Region. He was somewhat similar to Qin Wentian. After the battle in the Immortal Martial Realm, Qin Wentian's name would surely shake the entire Royal Sacred Region.
"Are you acquainted with him?" Ye Lingshuang stared at Ouyang Kuangsheng with a puzzled expression. "This Hua Taixu is extremely mysterious. The first time I heard of him, I heard that he was accepted as a personal disciple by the sect leader of the Great Void Sect."
"I'm acquainted with him, he was the idol of my youth. Back then, he was the top ranker on the Heavenly Fate Rankings of Grand Xia. After that, Wentian also achieved the same level of success as him. Not only that, there's a grudge between Wentian and Hua Taixu. Ouyang Kuangsheng's words caused Ye Lingshuang to be speechless. She didn't expect that there would be such a history between them. Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng should have known each other for a very long time, no wonder their relationship was so good.
"In that case, Wentian should be able to recognize him as well," Ye Lingshuang stated in a low voice. Qin Wentian should have heard of the names of the eight era-suppressing geniuses before. Now that he saw Hua Taixu in person, he should be able to recognize him.
"That's for sure. This fellow is as calm as Hua Taixu, it's like they don't know each other." Ouyang Kuangsheng shook his head with a bitter smile.
"So what if he can't control his emotions? Don't tell me he would directly engage in a battle?" Ye Lingshuang laughed. "Let's wait and see, maybe they will use the stone monuments to fight against each other later on."
"Si Ling is going to act against Lou Bingyu. Seems like he's accumulating the number of eliminations. If not, it would be even more difficult for him to advance to the next stone monument. Hence, he chose Lou Bingyu."
At this moment, Si Ling invaded Lou Bingyu's stone monument. The battle between the two of them was extremely intense. Si Ling cultivated a lightning-type innate technique, causing lightning to dance wildly in the air. However, Lou Bingyu was similarly powerful, her defense was impenetrable. The two of them were evenly matched, and eventually, Si Ling from the Violet Thunder Sect gave up.
After a few more days of peace, the participants quietly cultivated. Those on the floating bridges were all very patient, waiting quietly. Although these people were all patiently comprehending the stone monument, there would eventually be an earth-shattering battle.
And as expected, on the fifth day, Dongyue Hanjiang made his move against Nangong Shuang. This crown prince of the Eastern Mountain Country, one of the era-suppressing geniuses, relied on his tyrannical attacks to forcefully force the talented Nangong Shuang out of the battle. The stone monument dimmed, and at this moment, there were only eleven participants remaining.
The top ten would soon be revealed. As long as one more person was eliminated, the top ten would be officially confirmed.
Many people clenched their fists tightly. Up till now, none of the eight era-suppressing geniuses had been defeated. Other than the battle between Di Shi and Qin Wentian, which ended in a draw, they won all their other battles. No one knew if it was because Di Shi was one of the weakest among the eight, or because he chose Qin Wentian as his opponent.
"The eight of them should be able to monopolize the top eight, right?" Many people silently mused, as they clenched their fists tightly. They couldn't help but feel nervous.
As long as one more person was eliminated, the top ten would be revealed. This person should be either Qin Wentian, Lou Bingyu, or Si Ling.
Today, Qin Wentian halted his cultivation in the stone monument he was in. He wanted to exit the stone monument, but he suddenly realized that from the start until now, he had only defeated two people. Hence, he could only reach the third row at most. Hence, if he wanted to continue forward, he had to eliminate one more person first.
Seems like he had no choice but to take the initiative to fight.
As he thought of this, a terrifying light flashed in Qin Wentian's eyes. After which, an invasive light radiated from the stone monument, enveloping the other stone monuments.
An instant later, in the stone monument Di Shi was in, his eyes abruptly flashed with a dazzling light. There was actually someone who dared to take the initiative to invade his stone monument?
Turning his eyes over, Di Shi saw Qin Wentian who was bathed in golden astral light. The Shadow of the Golden-Winged Great Roc enveloped him, and his lofty eyes were currently staring at him.
"This …" The spectators on the floating bridges were all dumbfounded.
"Has he gone mad? He's taking the initiative to invade Di Shi's stone monument?"
Qin Wentian didn't choose Lou Bingyu or Si Ling. He chose Di Shi instead.
Qin Wentian's previous battle was precisely against Di Shi. At that time, he had just exited the first stone monument and was suppressed by Di Shi. But because of his advantage in speed, he was undefeatable. But now, he took the initiative to invade.
"Beautifully done, kill him." The light screen in front of Fan Le had an expression of excitement on its face. Not far away, the countenances of those from the Di Clan were all extremely grim as they coldly stated, "Courting death."
"Finally taking the initiative to invade? Will there be a surprise?" Lin Xian`er's eyes flickered with a faint glow of excitement. As long as Qin Wentian won this battle, it would mean that the top ten rankings would be decided. Di Shi would be kicked out of the top ten.
The meaning behind that would be sufficient to cause the Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns of the Royal Sacred Region to tremble.
"This daddy is actually feeling a little nervous." Ouyang Kuangsheng stared at the light screen projected by the stone monument as his heart pounded wildly. He understood Qin Wentian. Since this fellow took the initiative to invade, he definitely had the confidence to do so.
"You are truly courting death." Di Shi stared hatefully at Qin Wentian. He was the first among the eight era-suppressing geniuses to be challenged. This was an extremely shameful matter.
The flickering light in Qin Wentian's eyes continued to flicker. He moved, transforming into a beam of golden light that shot towards Di Shi with the speed of lightning.
"Bzzz!" A raging wind gusted by as Di Shi similarly dashed towards Qin Wentian. Just like that, the two of them rushed towards each other, their eyes flickering with a terrifying sharpness and loftiness.
Astral light circulated in Qin Wentian's palms, transforming into resplendent runic lights. After which, his palm abruptly shot out, blasting towards Di Shi.
Di Shi similarly unleashed an attack, the talon of an incomparably gigantic ferocious bird.
"BANG!" The talon of the gigantic ferocious bird was shattered into pieces by Di Shi's palm imprint. A force so powerful that it could pluck down constellations continued on its way towards Di Shi.
Di Shi simultaneously blasted out with both his palms. The gigantic talon of the ferocious bird blasted out unceasingly, causing rumbling sounds to echo unceasingly. The talon was shattered into pieces, and the palm imprint was indomitable.
Di Shi's body was forcibly forced backwards by the impact.
"F * ck!" Fatty on the floating bridge grew even more excited. Wasn't this Di Shi so arrogant? In that case, he would blast him out. The hearts of the others pounded unceasingly when they saw that golden silhouette diving down. In the first exchange earlier, Qin Wentian had the absolute advantage. Was he truly going to defy the heavens?!
