Pei Youdao frowned. There were also strong and weak Extreme Astral Reaching Realm warriors. Before coming here, he did not think anyone could be his opponent, since all of his martial arts were top rank Earth Realm, and he had trained them to a very high level. His sword intent had also reached perfection, without any flaws, which was the true Extreme Astral Reaching Realm. Who would have thought that Shen Tujue had already formed a martial spirit before reaching the Sea of Souls Realm? Although it was not complete, it was still in its embryonic form.
"It seems like that Blood Evil Stone from the auction five years ago had given Shen Tujue quite a lot." Pei Youdao slowly let out a breath, his expression relaxing. Even if Shen Tujue had formed his martial spirit, he would not be afraid, since battles were not one-sided.
Taking out his longsword, Pei Youdao found an opportunity and slashed out.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
In the sky, sharp flashes crisscrossed. At this moment, besides Shen Tujue, no one could tell how many sword attacks Pei Youdao had thrown out. Even with the advantage of his martial spirit, Shen Tujue could only barely tell. The details were a bit blurry.
The flashes disappeared, and the Blood Evil Beast that had just jumped out of the ground was sliced into pieces. The middle piece quickly disintegrated, revealing the Blood Evil Stone inside.
"Impressive! No wonder Pei Youdao has the title of the number one Astral Reaching Realm warrior in the whole South Rudra Region." Far away from the mass grave, some powerful Astral Reaching Realm warriors were secretly shocked, knowing that they would not have the slightest bit of power to resist under Pei Youdao's sword attack.
"Rock Heart Cut!"
"Iron Bone Godly Claw!"
Gold Rock and White Bone Ghost General did not want to be left behind, both performing their ace attacks.
…
The thin layer that isolated the Shocking Sky was cracked open, and a rich and pure yuan qi flow leaked out in all directions. As soon as it touched the air, it quickly became chaotic and violent, shattering the clouds in the sky. With a shoo, Ye Chen flew out along the direction of the yuan qi flow.
"Right now, I am at the top in every aspect. The only thing I am lacking is my own cultivation. Unfortunately, if I want to reach the peak level from Mid Astral Reaching Realm, I would need at least dozens of Earth Astral Pellets. After all, when I was only one step away from the peak level Early Astral Reaching Realm, I had already used up two Earth Astral Pellets. That alchemist could only make ten pellets a year, so I bought the remaining five." It wasn't that Ye Chen hadn't thought of buying better pills or Spirit Grasses than the Earthly Astral Pill, but unfortunately, these things were extremely rare and couldn't be bought with Spirit Stones. Otherwise, he would have prepared them when he was in the Martial City's Trading Hall. In any case, he had a lot of Spirit Stones with him.
"Forget it. It's better to cultivate on your own. Elixirs and elixirs can only be found by luck. There's no need to rush."
Ye Chen, on the other hand, was not in a hurry to make a breakthrough. His cultivation base was not that powerful, but he could spend ten times the effort to improve his martial arts and mentality, as well as his sword intent. Plus, with his current power, he was already at the peak of the Astral Reaching realm. The most important thing was to maintain a good mentality.
"Let's go check out the Blood Stone Islands. I wonder what kind of secrets that Blood Evil Beast has. I can't let go of the Blood Demon and the Blood Sword Artist either."
Shoo!
His shadow flashed continuously as Ye Chen's speed reached three times the speed of sound.
…
The news about the Blood Evil Beast appearing in the Blood Stone Islands had spread out in the whole South Rudra Region at an unimaginable speed. Although a lot of Astral Reaching Realm warriors did not dare to have any ideas about the Blood Evil Beast, they would not let go of the Blood Evil Stone in the area where the beast lived. Especially the powerful warriors from all the martial institutions, they valued the Blood Evil Stone even more, since it was a treasure that could increase one's mental power.
"Chi Huo, the head master and the others will take care of the Blood Evil Beast. Our target is the Blood Evil Stone. If we run into any weaker Astral Reaching Realm warriors, you will take care of them." On one of the islands, a group of people wearing red robes appeared. They all had the symbol of the Fire Spirit Palace on their clothes. The leader said to the handsome teenager next to him.
The handsome teenager's eyebrows were like blades as he said confidently, "Second master, don't worry. Below the Late Astral Reaching Realm, I, Yan Chihuo, am not afraid of anyone."
The leader was an elder in his sixties. He was very confident about Yan Chihuo's power. In the two years after the Hidden Dragon Rank competition, Yan Chihuo had been training even harder. Finally, he had managed to reach the Astral Reaching Realm half a year ago. As one of the rank 6 martial institutions, the Fire Spirit Palace did not lack pellets that could increase cultivation. With these pellets, Yan Chihuo had reached the peak level of Early Astral Reaching Realm from Early Astral Reaching Realm in just one week. Added with his cross-realm battling power, no one below the Late Astral Reaching Realm would be able to beat him.
"Second master, it is not like you do not know about Chi Huo's power. If he is able to join the Hidden Dragon Rank competition again, Sikong Sheng and Ye Chen would not be able to get the first place easily." An inner master from the Fire Spirit Palace said with a loud voice.
Yan Chihuo tightened his fist and thought to himself, 'Sikong Sheng, Ye Chen, wait for me!'
On the third island next to them …
People from the Heartless Martial School had also arrived.
Li Daoxuan, who was wearing blue robes, had a longsword on his waist. His aura was getting colder and colder. Wherever he looked, the Astral Reaching Realm warriors there would have a strong reaction, as if there was a sword with a cold light pointing right at them, killing their minds.
"What a powerful sword intent! It should be at least ninety percent, right?"
"He is indeed a rare martial genius of the Heartless Martial School. Without any surprises, there will be another Sea of Souls Realm warrior in the Heartless Martial School in the near future."
"Yeah, Li Daoxuan's talent is without a doubt. But, the legendary Ye Chen seems to be even more powerful. He is the most powerful young sword artist in the past one thousand years in the whole South Rudra Region."
"Not necessarily! All martial geniuses do not want to lose. Perhaps, Li Daoxuan has already reached Ye Chen, or even surpassed him. "
Everyone was discussing.
Li Daoxuan sighed. It was all thanks to Ye Chen that his sword intent could increase this fast. In his heart, he hoped that Ye Chen could become even more powerful, so that he would have the motivation to keep chasing after him.
Focusing his eyes, Li Daoxuan noticed the young girl in the distance.
It was Bing Ling from the Ice Extreme Martial School.
Bing Ling was also a peak-level Early Astral Reaching Realm warrior right now, and there was no doubt that she would not be able to reach that level. The purpose of the competitions of the Hidden Dragon Rank was to motivate people. Under other people's motivations, people would usually be able to make breakthroughs faster. If there were not many martial geniuses in the whole South Rudra Region, and they did not have that much talent, then it would mean that the whole South Rudra Region was weak. Only competition would provide the motivation.
A peaceful environment would always make people relax.
And in the era of martial geniuses, relaxation would only mean falling behind. Only by continuously becoming more powerful could one maintain their position. No one would want to leave the stage in the dark.
"It seems like I will not be lonely anymore."
Li Daoxuan did not dare to underestimate Bing Ling. Falling behind for a while did not mean falling behind forever. The top ten of the Hidden Dragon Rank were all martial geniuses of the same level.
On the east side of the island …
"People from the Sky Flying Devil Martial School are here!"
"Indeed, Mo Yan is already a peak-level Early Astral Reaching Realm warrior. What? Murong Qingcheng's cultivation is only at the Mid Astral Reaching Realm? How is this possible? "
All of the Astral Reaching Realm warriors on the island could not believe their own eyes. They all gasped, trying their best to open their eyes.
Wearing purple robes and a light veil on her face, Murong Qingcheng walked behind the second core master. Mo Yan, who was usually the head disciple, was half a step behind Murong Qingcheng. Vaguely, there was a trace of jealousy and evil light in his eyes. If Ye Chen were here, he would be able to tell that Mo Yan's temperament had changed a little bit.
"Huh! What Sikong Sheng? What Ye Chen? They were all surpassed by Qingcheng in the end. And I, one day, will surpass Qingcheng and make her my woman." Mo Yan sneered in his mind. After the Hidden Dragon Rank competitions had ended, he had worked harder than anyone else, even to the point of torturing himself. What he could not understand was that Murong Qingcheng had reached the Early Astral Reaching Realm with a crazy speed, and then from the Early Astral Reaching Realm to the Mid Astral Reaching Realm. It had shocked the whole Sky Flying Devil Martial School, and she had taken away the glory that belonged to him. Somehow, something in his heart had been broken. He swore that he would take back what belonged to him sooner or later, with interest.
"Qingcheng, how confident are you in beating Ye Chen?" The second core master of the Sky Flying Devil Martial School somehow thought of Ye Chen, so he asked.
Murong Qingcheng's voice was light, "Not even ten percent."
"Qingcheng, you are too humble! You have trained your Sky Demon Great Art to the thirteenth realm. Why do you have to boost the others' morale and lower your own? "Hearing Ye Chen's name, Mo Yan could not help but say.
"My instinct has always been very sharp. He will not stay where he is, waiting for me to surpass him." Murong Qingcheng did not think that she was more talented than Sikong Sheng and Yan Chihuo. Being able to train her Sky Demon Great Art from the tenth realm to the thirteenth realm was all thanks to the Sky Demon Flower and the mysterious power contained in it. Once the martial art reached a higher realm, the speed of cultivation would be unimaginable. Especially since the mysterious power contained in the Sky Demon Flower could increase cultivation as well, since it was made from the blood of the Ancient Demon King, and what kind of cultivation did the Ancient Demon King have? They were all Life and Death Realm warriors, so how could they not have the mysterious power to increase their cultivation?
The second core master of the Sky Demon Martial School shook his head with a smile. He was just like Mo Yan, thinking that Murong Qingcheng was just being humble. Everyone in the Sky Demon Martial School knew about Murong Qingcheng's personality. She was neither arrogant nor impatient, and would never give up. Sometimes, he felt that Murong Qingcheng was very scary, as she did not have any mental weakness.
Sensing the change in the atmosphere, Murong Qingcheng shook her head slightly. She knew that the second master and Mo Yan would not believe her, but she really did not have the confidence to win against Ye Chen. Ye Chen's horrifying power was something she knew better than anyone else. If her mind was already close to perfection, then Ye Chen's mind had reached a level where he would not be affected by anything. Of course, it was only in the Astral Reaching Realm, where the mind of a Life and Death Realm warrior would definitely be more powerful than them.
"Let's go in!"
The second master took a step forward, leading everyone into the blood red swirl.
Meanwhile, people from the other islands had also entered. All the rank 6 martial institutions' people had been sent out, so they must have included the Blood Evil Beast in their plan. There should not be too much danger.
After half a day …
A beam of blue light flashed past, landing on the nearest island.
"There are a lot less people!" Ye Chen frowned. In his sight, there were only a few Astral Reaching Realm warriors on the island, ninety percent less than before.
Taking out his great sword and wearing it on his waist, Ye Chen did not think too much. His body flashed once and disappeared, jumping into the blood red swirl.
