Just like that, the interlude passed. Everyone once again waited for the next battle.
"Next battle, 'Ledgerkeeper of Lives' Xuan Daoqi versus' Fire Phoenix 'Zi Yan."
Following the announcement of the expert presiding over the Grand Ranking Competition, another wave of commotion broke out.
Ledgerkeeper of Lives' popularity was in no way inferior to Shen Fei and Hua Yunfei. That was because Ledgerkeeper of Lives was ranked second on the Mortal Ranking, second only to Shen Fei and higher than Hua Yunfei.
Ledgerkeeper of Lives walked calmly. His entire body emitted a profound aura that made people feel as if they were looking at flowers in a fog. It was impossible to see Ledgerkeeper of Lives' true appearance. It was as if he was a specter that wandered the void, invisible and untouchable.
However, Ledgerkeeper of Lives only shocked people for a moment. That was because Ledgerkeeper of Lives' strength was there for all to see. What shocked them was the person fighting Ledgerkeeper of Lives.
'Fire Phoenix' Zi Yan?
The spectators only knew a little about Zi Yan. That was because Zi Yan was from the Martial God Continent. Now that the Martial God Continent and the Martial God Continent had been connected, Hades and a few other major powers had cleared out a safe passage in the Necropolis of the Gods, allowing cultivators from the two continents to pass through as they wished. However, if they wanted to go to the other continent, they had to pay a certain fee.
Back when Zi Yan was on the Martial God Continent, she wasn't very famous. Everyone only knew that Zi Yan was the daughter of an escort agency. She wasn't very talented and had only suddenly risen to prominence in recent times.
Many people guessed that Zi Yan had obtained the inheritance of the Ancient Phoenix. That was why she had suddenly risen and advanced by leaps and bounds.
Zi Yan's identity as a Phoenix made many people think of Sovereign Shenlang's wife, Yan Ruyu.
Yan Ruyu was the reincarnation of the Extreme Violet Immortal King. Later, the Extreme Violet Immortal King had been expelled by Shenlang, leaving a portion of his inheritance in Yan Ruyu's body. Adding on the talent of the Yan Family's bloodline, Yan Ruyu could be considered a famous expert in both the Martial God Continent and the Martial God Continent.
Zi Yan was dressed in black. Her face was as cold as ice. Her watery eyes flickered with a strong battle intent.
Seeing Zi Yan, Ledgerkeeper of Lives put away his easygoing attitude, and a trace of seriousness appeared on his face.
Ledgerkeeper of Lives saw mountains of corpses and seas of blood on Zi Yan's body, especially the blood moon rising behind her.
Others were unable to see the bloody aura on Zi Yan's body. However, Ledgerkeeper of Lives was able to use his divination techniques to see everything about Zi Yan.
Zi Yan came to the dueling platform and said with an indifferent expression, "Ledgerkeeper of Lives?"
Ledgerkeeper of Lives smiled and nodded. "Miss Zi Yan, please."
Both of them belonged to the human race, so there was no deep hatred between them. They were relatively amiable, unlike Hua Yunfei and Wolf King, who were full of gunpowder when they first arrived.
Zi Yan gently nodded. "Please!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the aura on the stage instantly rose.
Zi Yan did not hold back at all. She instantly unleashed her full strength. A phoenix phantom formed by flames rose behind her.
Zi Yan's phoenix bloodline was given to her by Shenlang. She did not disappoint Shenlang. In addition to her own efforts, she had broken through to the peak of the Xiantian Realm in a short period of time. If she had not been suppressing her realm, hoping to break through to the Emptiness Realm in a perfect state, she would have already become an Emptiness Realm expert.
There were many ways to break through to the Emptiness Realm. Some broke through by gathering water. Some adjusted their body to the peak and reached the sky in a single step, directly becoming an Emptiness Realm expert. Some broke through to the Emptiness Realm as soon as they felt it. However, those people usually found it very difficult to progress after breaking through to the Emptiness Realm. Moreover, their combat strength was also very weak.
Zi Yan was a person who wished to reach the perfect state to break through to the Emptiness Realm.
Not everyone was like Shenlang, reaching the Emptiness Realm or even the Immortal Martial Realm in a short period of time. Even a genius like Shen Fei had only reached the peak of the Xiantian Realm in his twenties. He could not be compared to Shenlang at all. When Shenlang was their age, he had already reached the Emptiness Realm.
The phoenix phantom spat out boundless flames. It was like a cage of flames, enveloping the entire stage. The bluestone floor tiles on the stage were all burnt black. There was a faint sign that they were going to liquefy.
Xuan Daoqi's expression was solemn. In the battle, the two of them would definitely use their full strength. If they were unable to restrain themselves, it was still possible for them to be injured.
At this moment, if Xuan Daoqi did not defend himself against Zi Yan's attack, he would definitely be burned to ashes in an instant.
Xuan Daoqi formed a strange seal with his hands. His feet moved in a mysterious manner as he swam in the sea of flames. Not a single trace of Zi Yan's phoenix flames burned his body.
Zi Yan was like a fire fairy. She was enveloped in flames. A long sword formed by flames appeared in her hand. She then thrust her sword forward. Countless flaming swords formed a sword dragon and slashed towards Xuan Daoqi.
"Compassionate Travel Sword Canon!"
When Shenlang had given Zi Yan the phoenix blood, he had also given her the Compassionate Travel Sword Canon.
Zi Yan did not disappoint Shenlang. While her strength had increased, she had also cultivated the Compassionate Travel Sword Canon to its peak. Although she had yet to fully comprehend it, she was not weak.
Xuan Daoqi's robes fluttered. The flames around him also swayed in the wind. The sun, moon, and stars revolved in Xuan Daoqi's eyes. In the end, they transformed into a boundless black hole that seemed to devour everything.
"Heavenly Divination."
This was one of the Tenji Pavilion's signature techniques, the Heavenly Divination Codex.
A mysterious aura drifted out. Under this mysterious aura, the sword dragons formed by flames that Zi Yan had slashed out turned back into flames and merged into the surrounding sea of fire.
"Turning the beginning into the beginning."
A few sharper people were able to see through the mysteries of Xuan Daoqi's attack.
The Heavenly Divination Dao could calculate everything and also turn everything back into nothingness. It was very profound. Zi Yan and Xuan Daoqi were in the same realm. Zi Yan's attack had been turned into the beginning by Xuan Daoqi.
However, Zi Yan's expression did not change in the slightest. When the sword dragon formed by flames was broken, the true killing move that had been hidden within it all this time appeared.
The flaming sword that had formed in Zi Yan's hand at the beginning appeared in front of Xuan Daoqi in the blink of an eye.
This sword cut through everything. The profound aura around Xuan Daoqi gave off the sound of something being cut apart. Pop!
After the profound aura that had been providing Xuan Daoqi with danger detection was cut off, a terrifying and dangerous aura rushed towards him.
Xuan Daoqi had always been aloof from worldly affairs for many years. Ever since he had started cultivating, he had never felt the feeling of death. However, Zi Yan's peerless sword made him feel the feeling of death.
Zi Yan's body was shrouded in flames. Her figure could not be seen clearly. Everyone could only see the life-taking sword poking out of the sea of flames.
