Everyone held their breath. Even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard. Only a breeze blew past, and rolled up a bloody smell. It made people feel somewhat nauseous.
"Emperor Chen is dead. How can this be? He's really dead!" Someone looked at this scene in disbelief. The incomparably powerful Emperor Chen had been beheaded by Ye Xiwen.
Everyone was mentally prepared. After all, Emperor Chen had been suppressed by Ye Xiwen. However, it was still difficult for them to accept the fact that Emperor Chen had been killed by Ye Xiwen.
After all, Emperor Chen had been the most likely candidate to win the championship in everyone's opinion. However, Ye Xiwen had been ranked at the bottom of the eight heaven's pride experts' rankings at the beginning. Ye Xiwen hadn't had any pressure to enter the top eight. However, it had been impossible for him to win the championship.
However, Ye Xiwen was like the dark horse of this competition. He had swept away all his opponents along the way. No matter how tyrannical his opponents were, they couldn't withstand a single blow in front of him. Emperor Chen was no exception. He had been suppressed most of the time. It was the same even if he had used his spatial ability. It seemed as if his spatial ability wasn't worth mentioning in front of Ye Xiwen.
Ye Xiwen's thin figure stood in the field. His face was calm and carefree. It seemed as if he had killed an insignificant person.
Some people were terrified. They had seen Ye Xiwen's power. Ye Xiwen might be nothing at present. However, he would become an extremely dreadful person in the next several hundred years after he fully matured.
He had condensed a thousand dao principles in the semi-sage realm. Almost no one could say what Ye Xiwen's future achievements would be like.
Such a person's present terror was nothing. His future terror would be the most dreadful.
Countless gazes swept over Ye Xiwen's body. There was no lack of murderous intentions in those gazes. It could be said that the people of other forces besides the True Martial University probably wanted to get rid of Ye Xiwen as soon as they saw him.
Ye Xiwen gently breathed a sigh of relief. He felt relaxed all over his body. It seemed as if the shackles of his cultivation had suddenly been broken. He hadn't reached the peak of the semi-sage realm yet. However, his strength had already reached the peak of the semi-sage realm. He should be able to make a breakthrough to the initial stage of the sage realm as long as he underwent another closed-door training. Only then would he be worthy of his current status as a core disciple.
Unless there were special circumstances, the core disciples were usually at the sage realm.
Ye Xiwen had defeated Emperor Chen this time. It seemed as if he had completely suppressed Emperor Chen. However, only he knew how much preparation he had made in order to defeat Emperor Chen. Emperor Chen had been the most terrifying opponent in his heart since the beginning. So, he had studied many combat plans. However, Emperor Chen hadn't taken him seriously. Therefore, it was only logical that he had defeated Emperor Chen from this point of view. It wasn't as exaggerated as the outsiders had speculated.
Wasn't Emperor Chen strong? In fact, he was very strong. In fact, it could be said that the championship would've fallen into Emperor Chen's hands if not for Ye Xiwen. Moreover, Emperor Chen's spatial ability would've allowed him to remain invincible even if he had encountered another expert who had condensed more than a thousand dao principles. In fact, he might've even defeated the opposite party if he hadn't encountered Ye Xiwen.
Moreover, the more this spatial ability grew, the more terrifying it would become. In fact, it would reach an extremely dreadful point in the future. Emperor Chen's strength would've risen along with this golden lion. In fact, it wouldn't be impossible for him to condense the thousandth dao principle in the future.
However, Ye Xiwen had beheaded Emperor Chen anyway. And, he had gotten rid of the worry in his heart. So, he could finally heave a sigh of relief for the time being. After all, he had gone through the baptism of the war. So, he had obtained a lot of benefits.
Now was the time to look for an opportunity to undergo closed-door training and make a breakthrough. That was because he might have to face all kinds of sneak attacks in the future. So, it was very important for him to have a certain amount of power to protect himself after he had made a breakthrough into the sage realm.
Suddenly, the crowd flared up after a strange silence. Everyone was discussing the matter of Ye Xiwen killing Emperor Chen and ascending to the top. Even the people who had the most confidence in Ye Xiwen hadn't thought that Ye Xiwen could reach the top before the competition. Ye Xiwen had become the champion. Most of them felt that Ye Xiwen had managed to escape unscathed. So, it was already very amazing.
They believed that Ye Xiwen would be able to escape unscathed if they were in Ye Xiwen's shoes.
The Lord of the Muddy Sky Island was standing on the high platform. His complexion was ashen as he looked at Ye Xiwen in the public square. However, he couldn't say a word. He had been so calm before, but not because he thought that he was invincible. It was because he had too much confidence in Emperor Chen. In his mind, Emperor Chen was invincible among the four forces. He had never heard of Ye Xiwen or anyone like him. It would be considered good if he could cause some trouble for Emperor Chen.
Ye Xiwen had been able to cause some trouble for Emperor Chen. However, Ye Xiwen's strong performance had given him a huge slap in the face. And, he had made him understand that Emperor Chen wasn't as strong as he had thought. Now, he wanted to see Ye Xiwen ascend to the top and accept Emperor Chen's death.
Moreover, he couldn't find any reason to intervene in this fight. After all, it was Emperor Chen who had looked for trouble first. And, it was wrong of him to do so. It was good enough that the Supreme Lord hadn't looked for trouble with Emperor Chen. Moreover, Ye Xiwen had defeated Emperor Chen with his own strength as easy as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.
Such a feeling made him burn with anger. However, he couldn't find any reason to vent his anger. He could only forcibly suppress it. He firmly grasped the armrest of the throne with both hands. The armrest was made of jade, but it seemed as if it was made of tofu in his hands. He had crushed it into pieces.
The complexion of the Lord of the Xuan Yuan Palace Hall didn't look good either. He had made a lot of sarcastic remarks before the start of the fight. He had ridiculed Ye Xiwen a lot. The Supreme Lord hadn't mentioned it. However, he could still imagine the contempt and ridicule that the Supreme Lord had for Ye Xiwen in his heart. He had always been opposing the True Martial University. So, it felt as if he had been slapped in the face a few times. He was so depressed that he wanted to die.
The killing intention in his eyes became even thicker as he looked at Ye Xiwen.
The eyes of the Lord of the Fire Cloud Cave also flickered. No one knew what he was thinking. He had the appearance of an uncouth old man. However, no one dared to look at him as an uncouth old man. They would've vomited blood if they thought that he was an uncouth old man.
"The champion of this final is Ye Xiwen!" Everyone knew that this year's competition had come to an end after the announcement of the Elder Referee. The dust had settled.
The cruelty of this year's competition had left everyone speechless. Only three of the eight heaven's pride experts had survived. Ye Xiwen was the champion. Han Bing Wang was still recuperating from his injuries, and Jin Wu Shuang was the first to admit defeat.
The casualty rate was more than half. It couldn't be said that this year's competition wasn't tragic. However, it was undoubtedly very exciting. Emperor Chen had been thoroughly defeated by Ye Xiwen even after he had displayed his spatial ability. This had made countless people sigh. Either of these two individuals would've been enough to win the championship if they had been placed in the previous years. However, both of them had appeared in this year's competition. This was a case of 'a mountain can't accommodate two tigers'. Since there was a Yu, why would there be a Liang?
The Elder Referee had announced Ye Xiwen's victory. However, everyone was still immersed in the battle that had just taken place. They hadn't come out of it yet. This year's competition was about to come to an end.
Suddenly, there was a violent fluctuation in the space when the atmosphere was about to boil over. A huge black crack appeared in the sky above the reinforced Metropolis Martial Peak's peak. It seemed as if a picture scroll had been torn out of the sky. Then, two women rushed out of the crack at a very fast speed.
The person in the lead was a young woman who seemed to be around 25 or 26 years old. She had a peerless appearance. Her eyebrows and eyes were quick-witted. She was extremely beautiful. She was wearing a fiery red long dress, which undoubtedly outlined her beautiful figure. Her long hair was coiled up and lightly tied behind her. Her thin lips were slightly pursed. She had a bit of dignity.
Behind her was a young girl who seemed to be around 17 or 18 years old. She had a pair of big pitch-black eyes, thin lips, snow-white skin, and a beautiful appearance. She was wearing a green robe. She looked fresh and refined.
However, there was a bit of anxiety and disbelief on the girl's face at this time.
"Who is it? How dare you trespass into the True Martial University! "the Supreme Lord's dignified voice fiercely burst out.
"Who is this person? How dare he trespass into the True Martial University's hinterland? He's simply audacious!"
"I don't know. Aren't these two people from your True Martial University?"
"Of course, I've never seen them before. Moreover, didn't you listen to our Supreme Lord's words? They are obviously not people from our True Martial University! "
"They're simply too beautiful. I'd be willing to die for the rest of my life if I could get a kiss!"
The arrival of these two people broke the silence of the people who were still immersed in Emperor Chen's death. The Supreme Lord's words had made them burst into an uproar. This was the True Martial University. It wasn't an ordinary place. Moreover, it was the Metropolis Martial Peak where the Sect Master resided. Such a place was a genuine pilgrimage site for the True Martial University … and even for the people of the entire Southern Region.
Many sage realm experts and even great sage realm experts were present because of this year's big competition. The words' numerous experts' weren't enough to describe the current Metropolis Martial Peak. However, this person had barged in carelessly. He must've been kicked in the head by a donkey. So, he must've become stupid. Or, he must've been a highly skilled and daring person. However, everyone could only think of the second reason when they saw the calm appearance of the red-clothed woman.
"Brother Taihe!" The green-clothed girl didn't care about the countless gazes that were sweeping over her. She pounced towards Ye Xiwen. Everyone was discussing and guessing what she wanted to do. However, they saw her pouncing on the golden lion's body. She was crying very sadly. She looked like a weeping beauty.
"I'm sorry. We don't want to be enemies with the True Martial University. We just want to bring back our old friend!" the red-clothed woman replied indifferently.
"It's you. You're the one who killed Brother Taihe. I want to kill you to avenge Brother Taihe!" the green-clothed girl suddenly raised her head. She looked at Ye Xiwen with a murderous look on her face.
