It could be said that none of the cultivators who could fight on the Goat Horn Peak were weak.
How could they be mediocre if they could win a hundred battles in their respective realms?
The battles on the Goat Horn Peak could definitely be considered as choosing the strongest among the strongest.
The battle between Heaven Reaching Realm cultivators was extremely loud, and a mere several hundred feet of arena was naturally unable to withstand it. However, in order to ensure that the battles proceeded smoothly, the top cultivators of the Sacred Army worked together to set up a powerful restriction on each arena. It could prevent the battle from spreading out of the arena.
These powerful restrictions did not restrict the Heaven Reaching Realm cultivators from borrowing the power of nature, nor did they restrict anything from entering the arena. They only restricted the energy that erupted from the arena from spreading out.
The elimination round began very quickly. Xiao Lingyu's first opponent was a Heaven Reaching Realm cultivator in the late stage.
"This one is Bao Bing. Please enlighten me." The opponent wore a smile on his face, as if he was very relaxed.
"Xiao Lingyu."
Xiao Lingyu's expression was indifferent, and he did not have any intention of speaking nonsense.
Dong …
A bell rang, and the battle officially began.
The number of Heaven Reaching Realm cultivators was far less than the number of Sacred God cultivators, so there was only one arena for Heaven Reaching Realm cultivators, and nine arenas for Sacred God cultivators.
As a result, most of the spectators and the top cultivators of Heaven Reaching Sacred Island on the Goat Horn Peak were focused on the arena for Heaven Reaching Realm cultivators.
Every battle had a time limit of four hours. If a victor could not be determined within the time limit, both sides would be directly eliminated. Thus, both sides standing on the arena would do their best to defeat their opponent within four hours.
Four hours to fight a match, even if there was only one arena, the first round of the Reaching Heaven Realm elimination matches would be over very quickly.
Perhaps he was anxious to determine the victor within four hours, or perhaps he was confident, but after the bell rang, Bao Bing did not raise his aura. He suddenly stomped on the ground and charged in front of Xiao Lingyu. A Divine Spirit Treasure like a sharp thorn stabbed towards Xiao Lingyu's chest.
The opponent's realm was quite high. Without using the Wings of Extreme Speed, Xiao Lingyu's short-distance movement speed and reaction speed were inferior to the opponent's.
Therefore, Xiao Lingyu didn't dodge. Instead, she placed one palm in front of her chest and used her bare hand to block the opponent's attack. At the same time, her other hand slapped towards the opponent's shoulder.
"A blow for a blow?"
In that instant, Bao Bing thought that the attack from his Celestial Spiritual Treasure would definitely be stronger than his opponent's palm attack, so he didn't change his move.
The spike pierced Xiao Lingyu's palm, but it did not pierce through. Instead, Xiao Lingyu held it tightly.
Bao Bing was shocked. With the advantage of having a higher cultivation level, he could have dodged Xiao Lingyu's other palm attack, but if he did, he would not be able to retrieve his spiked Dharma treasure.
If the Dharma treasure was taken away by the opponent, how would the battle continue?
After thinking quickly, Bao Bing's body was enveloped in a circle of divine power in an instant. He wanted to use this to block Xiao Lingyu's palm attack.
However, Bao Bing didn't expect that his defensive skill would be directly shattered by the opponent's palm, and a huge force smashed into his shoulder.
Intense pain came, and Bao Bing's body involuntarily flew backwards.
"What a strong force!"
Bao Bing steadied himself in the corner of the arena. Looking at his spiked Dharma treasure in the opponent's hand, he was incomparably shocked.
Just a moment ago, Bao Bing felt that he hadn't been hit by a palm, but rather a Celestial Spiritual Treasure.
As a powerful fighter in the late stage of Heaven Ascension, Bao Bing's physical body was comparable to a high-grade sacred weapon. Coupled with his defensive skill, he still couldn't block the opponent's seemingly simple palm attack. From this, it could be seen that not only was the opponent's strength strong, but the quality of his physical body was clearly beyond the scope of a sacred weapon.
"Could it be the physical body of a Celestial Spiritual Treasure?"
Bao Bing was puzzled. At the moment, he didn't dare to attack rashly. At least, he didn't dare to fight in close combat with the opponent.
As for the spiked Dharma treasure, it was now enveloped by the Primordial Fire, and Bao Bing's divine consciousness couldn't communicate with it at all.
What made Bao Bing even more surprised was that his Dharma treasure had only been enveloped by the Primordial Fire for a few breaths' time, but it had already begun to tremble, as if it couldn't withstand the fire.
After hesitating for a moment, Bao Bing began to communicate with the nature of heaven and earth, guiding waves of invisible mighty force into the arena to increase his momentum and strength. He wanted to use the advantage of his cultivation level to suppress the opponent.
Xiao Lingyu's expression didn't change. His divine consciousness also came out of his body, resonating with the nature of heaven and earth, and borrowing the power of heaven and earth to resist the oppression of the opponent's cultivation level.
Even if he gave it his all, the disadvantage of his cultivation level meant that Xiao Lingyu couldn't completely block the invisible mighty force that his opponent had drawn in. His own strength was weakened by a lot.
However, this situation was within Xiao Lingyu's expectations, so it didn't affect his state of mind.
The reason why Xiao Lingyu felt that he couldn't face the peak experts of Skyreach Saint Island was because the difference in cultivation level was too great. Once those peak experts used their advantage in cultivation level to suppress him, many of his techniques wouldn't be able to display much power at all. He might even completely lose the ability to fight back and be beaten up passively.
After all, Bao Bing wasn't a peak expert. His advantage in cultivation level over Xiao Lingyu wasn't very obvious, and his attacks seemed a little weak compared to Xiao Lingyu's powerful defense.
Having lost the offensive Dharma treasure he was most proud of right from the start, Bao Bing could only rely on the invisible mighty force to launch attacks with spells and seals. Although he could still hit his opponent, his opponent's cultivation level and Primordial Fire defense were already powerful. Coupled with his tough body, his attacks couldn't do much damage to his opponent at all.
Although Xiao Lingyu's dantian was greatly shaken, his Chaotic Divine Infant was tightly protected by rings of Chaotic Light, so it wasn't affected at all.
Naturally, Xiao Lingyu couldn't just dodge and defend like that. He constantly moved around the arena, leaving something behind wherever he went. He also quickly set up some restrictions to hide those things.
"Soul Seal!"
Bao Bing's attacks lasted for twenty breaths of time. Xiao Lingyu, who had been hit more than ten times, finally stopped. He smiled at Bao Bing and suddenly shouted loudly like thunder. He stomped his feet and waved his arm in front of him. The scenery in the arena immediately changed.
Waves of fog appeared out of thin air and filled the entire arena in the blink of an eye.
Under the influence of the rolling fog, the invisible restrictive power was actually able to devour the Soul Strength of an Exceedingly Heaven Reaching Expert.
In other words, the fog could isolate a cultivator's Divine Sense, so it couldn't penetrate the arena and communicate with the mighty force of nature outside.
In this way, Bao Bing's advantage in cultivation level naturally didn't exist.
In the five million years in the Chaotic Spectrum, Xiao Lingyu had been studying the Dao of Restrictive Formations passed down from the universe. The main direction of his research was to find a solution to the problems he would encounter when facing Skyreach experts of a higher cultivation level.
The restrictive formation set up in the arena was called the Soul Seal Formation. It was Xiao Lingyu's harvest in the five million years in the Chaotic Spectrum. Although it was his first time using it in actual combat, the effect seemed to be pretty good.
With the help of the Soul Seal Formation, Xiao Lingyu completely turned the tables, and he went from being passive to being active.
The Wings of Extreme Speed appeared behind him, and his speed was no longer slower than Bao Bing's. After all, the arena wasn't big, and there was a time limit to the battle. Bao Bing had no choice but to fight Xiao Lingyu head-on.
Unfortunately, Bao Bing's offensive Dharma treasure had been taken away by Xiao Lingyu, so he could only defend himself now.
Bao Bing originally wanted to defend himself for a while to exhaust his opponent's cultivation and state. However, he didn't expect that he would fly out of the arena uncontrollably after being blasted by his opponent's seal.
Bao Bing didn't know that the seal was a Chaotic Seal, and it was a Chaotic Seal that was fused with the Illusory Sky Restriction.
Xiao Lingyu had advanced to the Ninth Refinement Stage, and the quality of the Chaotic Divine Power in his body had increased by a lot. The Chaotic Seal formed by this was originally very strong, and with the support of the Illusory Sky Restriction, ordinary cultivators would be blasted far away even if they could withstand it.
"Thank you for letting me win."
The result was out. Xiao Lingyu cupped his fists and waved at Bao Bing below the arena, then walked down the arena slowly.
Not long after he left the arena, the fog that pervaded the arena dissipated. It was obvious that although Xiao Lingyu's Soul-Sealing Array was powerful, it couldn't last for too long.
From the beginning of the battle to the result, it actually only took a hundred breaths' time.
This was the way it was when experts had to decide the winner. There was no need to fight until the sky turned dark. Usually, the result would be decided within a few moves.
For Xiao Lingyu, who was aiming to be in the top ten, winning the first round easily was within his expectations. After he left the arena, he didn't feel happy or worried. He didn't look at the rest of the battle and returned to his secret room.
"Senior's divine power is really extraordinary! You defeated your opponent so quickly! "
The woman who had seduced Xiao Lingyu before came over again and praised him with a smile on her face.
Xiao Lingyu only smiled faintly and didn't reply. After he entered the secret room, he went back to the quiet room that he had set up layers of restrictions.
As for the attentive woman, she naturally could only helplessly wait outside the secret room.
The first round of the competition had nearly a month's time to begin with. Additionally, after the first round of elimination, everyone would have five years to recuperate. For ordinary cultivators, this period of time was only enough for them to meditate and adjust their breathing. However, for Xiao Lingyu, this period of time was over 50,000 years.
After strengthening the restrictions in the quiet room, Xiao Lingyu entered the Chaotic Spectrum. He first meditated and adjusted his breathing, then began to study the Soul-Sealing Array.
Although the Soul-Sealing Array had made a great contribution in this battle, it also exposed a fatal weakness, which was that it couldn't last for too long. Once he encountered an opponent with strong defense, Xiao Lingyu might lose if he couldn't finish the battle within the effective period of the Soul-Sealing Array.
Moreover, the Soul-Sealing Array had been exposed. He believed that his opponent in the next round would be prepared for it. Not only did he have to make the Soul-Sealing Array last a little longer, he also had to find some changes in it to prevent it from being easily broken by his opponent.
