The arena had not changed, but the opponents had.
The cultivators who could participate in the finals were all powerful cultivators in the Heavenly Ascension Realm. After passing the first round, they could be said to be the best of the best.
Xiao Lingyu's opponent in the second round was also in the Heavenly Ascension Realm late stage. He seemed to be in the same realm as Bao Bing, but it was unknown how powerful he was.
"I am Jin Zhi. Xiao Daoyou, please enlighten me."
"Xiao Lingyu."
Xiao Lingyu was as calm and composed as ever. His expression made his opponent unable to see his current state of mind, but it made his opponent feel irritated.
Everyone who came here was a powerful cultivator, and what they hated the most was other cultivators putting on airs or acting cool in front of them.
"Why are you putting on airs? You'll suffer later!"
Jin Zhi secretly made up his mind. When the bell rang, his aura rose to the peak in an instant. Like a ferocious tiger descending the mountain, he charged with a powerful aura toward Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu frowned slightly. The speed at which Jin Zhi raised his aura was the fastest among all the powerful cultivators he had ever seen. When the other party charged over, he felt as if a divine mountain was collapsing in front of him.
The speed of a Heavenly Ascension Realm cultivator was extremely fast. This distance of a few thousand feet was naturally covered in the blink of an eye. However, in this extremely short period of time, Jin Zhi had already communicated with the nature of heaven and earth. Waves of invisible power had already made Xiao Lingyu feel immense pressure.
When he got close to Xiao Lingyu, a simple long saber that seemed to be made of bronze appeared in Jin Zhi's hand.
"Rushing Thunder Slash!"
Jin Zhi shouted loudly and leaped high. The long saber in his hand was wrapped in the power of heaven and earth, and it slashed down toward Xiao Lingyu's head.
As the long saber fell rapidly, it dragged a bright flash of lightning that looked like a saber radiance. The saber and Jin Zhi's body were already wrapped in arcs of lightning.
The long saber was obviously a Heavenly Spiritual Treasure. Coupled with the domineering and fierce saber technique, its power was naturally incomparably strong. Even if Xiao Lingyu could withstand this attack, he would probably not feel good.
However, at this moment, he had already been locked onto by his opponent's Divine Sense, and the Might of Heaven and Earth that his opponent had drawn upon made it impossible for him to raise his speed to dodge.
However, even though Xiao Lingyu did not have the time to raise her aura and was unable to draw upon the power of Heaven and Earth, she was still able to use her supernatural powers to fight her enemies.
All of a sudden, he stretched out a finger and pointed at the saber that was coming down on him. A Chaotic Light Beam shot out from his fingertip.
The Chaotic Light Beam was filled with mighty divine power and was equally ferocious. It was formed by compressing the pure Chaotic Divine Power in Xiao Lingyu's body and was equally powerful.
When the chaotic light beam hit the long blade, it instantly extinguished the lightning arcs on the long blade and the thunder behind it.
However, the long saber still slashed down viciously. It first penetrated the defense of the Primordial Flame and then shattered Xiao Lingyu's protective shield. In the end, its power was reduced by more than half. Although it landed on Xiao Lingyu's shoulder, it only caused Xiao Lingyu's feet to sink into the stone platform. It did not break through Xiao Lingyu's body's defense.
The long saber itself was not very powerful. It was only when it was combined with the saber technique that it appeared to be unparalleled.
Relying on the speed at which he could raise his power and gather the Might of Heaven and Earth in a short period of time, Jin Zhi usually killed or injured his opponents in a single move. There were even many cultivators who were slightly stronger than him who were cut off the platform because they were not prepared enough.
Since his attack did not succeed, Jin Zhi immediately withdrew his saber and retreated. It seemed that Xiao Lingyu's snatching of the Bao Bing's sharp spike had attracted his attention.
Jin Zhi's specialty was that he attacked fiercely from the beginning until he defeated his opponent. Once he paused in the middle and gave his opponent time to prepare, his power would be greatly reduced.
Xiao Lingyu's shoulder hurt a little. His shoulder bone was probably broken. However, he pulled out his legs and slapped a Primordial Chaos Seal toward Jin Zhi.
After Jin Zhi withdrew his long saber, he shouted loudly. The Might of Heaven and Earth that he drew turned into a sky full of thunder and lightning in an instant and quickly occupied every corner of the platform.
Zigzagging thunderbolts shuttled back and forth in the platform like dragons. All of them whistled and rushed toward Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu's Primordial Chaos Seal had just left his hand. Before it could get close to Jin Zhi, it was hit by the thunderbolts and exploded.
The strong power of the Primordial Chaos Seal swept away a large area of thunderbolts. However, the area that had just been cleared was then filled with thunderbolts that appeared out of nowhere.
"Thousand Thunderbolts Slash!"
Jin Zhi did not give Xiao Lingyu much time to prepare. After the Primordial Chaos Seal exploded, he shouted again and threw the long saber in his hand into the air.
The strange thing was that when the long saber was in the air, it turned into a thunderbolt and hid in the sky full of thunderbolts. It was difficult to pinpoint its exact location.
At the same time, the thunderbolts that were wreaking havoc in the platform trembled slightly and turned into powerful thunder sabers that slashed from all directions.
This kind of attack was impossible to dodge. However, because there were so many attacks, its power was naturally more powerful than the Thunder Slash from before.
However, Xiao Lingyu could see that the real threat that the Thunder Slash could bring to him was the attack launched by the long saber.
Unfortunately, he could not determine where the long saber was from among the thousands of thunder sabers.
After all, he had just entered the Ninth Transformation Stage not long ago. Although his cultivation was already at the middle stage of the Ninth Transformation Stage, he rarely fought with Heaven Reaching Realm experts. The Heaven Reaching Realm experts that he had faced before were not the best in the Heaven Reaching Realm. At this time, he was at a loss.
Jin Zhi's fighting style was to beat his opponent with the force of a thunderbolt and defeat his opponent before they could catch their breath.
Xiao Lingyu gave up the idea of hiding in the Primordial Chaos Spectrum. After all, there were countless experts watching the battle. He could not reveal his trump card too early. There were still fierce battles to come. He had not entered the top ten.
There was no better way to deal with it. He might as well take it head-on. Anyway, even if the long saber attacked, it would at most cause him some physical pain.
The thunder sabers that filled the sky instantly drowned Xiao Lingyu. However, with the Primal Chaos Truefire Shield, the Primal Chaos Divine Shield, and his powerful physical defense, the damage that the thunder sabers could cause to Xiao Lingyu was only a scratch on his skin and flesh.
Although his dantian was greatly shaken, whether it was the black and white Primal Chaos Light released by the black and white Yin Yang Fish below the Chaotic Divine Infant or the nine-colored Primal Chaos Light of the nine grass leaves above its head, they were all able to protect the Chaotic Divine Infant very well. In addition, the Primal Chaos Golden Bead that the Chaotic Divine Infant had swallowed would also help with its defense. The Chaotic Divine Infant was not threatened at all.
As long as the Chaotic Divine Infant was intact, it could control Xiao Lingyu's cultivation without any hindrance. It would not cause his cultivation to become chaotic.
In Xiao Lingyu's body, only his Qi and blood were surging more violently at this moment. However, Xiao Lingyu was able to suppress it.
All of Xiao Lingyu's attention was focused on searching for the long saber that was hidden somewhere. However, by the time he found the saber, it was already stabbing towards his lower abdomen.
"Hmph! He's actually trying to assassinate my Divine Infant! "
Although Xiao Lingyu had already prepared the Primal Chaos Seal to block, it was already too late for him to activate it. He could only use his hands to block the saber from both sides.
However, at that moment, Jin Zhi's saber technique changed. Countless lightning sabers gathered in the saber, immediately increasing the saber's power. At the same time, it rubbed against Xiao Lingyu's palms, piercing through Xiao Lingyu's lower abdomen and straight into his dantian.
The Chaotic Divine Infant also became nervous at this moment. It opened its mouth and spat out Primal Chaos Fire and Primal Chaos Divine Power to strengthen its defenses.
Although the saber was stabbing towards the Chaotic Divine Infant, it was still restricted by Xiao Lingyu's palms. Furthermore, it had already pierced through the Divine Infant's defenses, so its power was greatly weakened. The tip of the saber could not even break through the barrier of light around the Chaotic Divine Infant. All of the saber's power had been exhausted.
Xiao Lingyu, on the other hand, pulled the long saber out of his body with a single move.
Immediately, blood splattered everywhere!
He did not care about the blood that was spurting out. A ball of Primal Chaos Fire surged out of his hands and enveloped the saber.
Although Jin Zhi had severely injured Xiao Lingyu, he looked a little depressed when he saw that his saber had been pulled out and his opponent was still standing firmly in the ring.
Jin Zhi wanted to defeat or even kill his opponent with a single strike. Otherwise, he would not have let his Dharma treasure get close to his opponent. Jin Zhi was very wary of Xiao Lingyu taking away Bao Bing's Dharma treasure.
This risky attack did not go as he wished, and his Dharma treasure was taken away by his opponent. How could Jin Zhi not be depressed?
At this point in the battle, Xiao Lingyu's Divine Sense had already drawn in the Might of Heaven and Earth. The lightning that was wreaking havoc in the ring had already been dispersed.
Without waiting for Xiao Lingyu to set up the Soul-Sealing Array, Jin Zhi had already cupped his fists and said, "Xiao Daoyu, good move. Jin Zhi admits defeat."
Jin Zhi could already feel a strong murderous intent from Xiao Lingyu. Now that his saber had been taken away, he could no longer use his powerful saber techniques. If he continued to fight, he was really worried that Xiao Lingyu would kill him.
Xiao Lingyu's expression was originally a little gloomy, even sinister. However, Jin Zhi tactfully admitted defeat. His expression returned to normal, but it was still a little pale.
After the referee announced that he had won, Xiao Lingyu walked down the ring without any joy or worry, just like how he had won the previous battle.
As for the saber, it was unceremoniously put away by Xiao Lingyu, just like Bao Bing's spikes.
After the battle, Bao Bing did not dare to ask Xiao Lingyu for his Dharma treasure. It was the same for Bao Bing. In particular, Xiao Lingyu was currently bathed in blood, but his footsteps were steady. This made Jin Zhi feel that it was better to stay as far away from this person as possible, never to have any interaction with him again.
Even the woman who had been trying to curry favor with Xiao Lingyu did not dare to utter a single word even though she was quietly following behind him.
After returning to the secret chamber and entering the quiet room, Xiao Lingyu entered the Chaos Spectrum.
Currently, he was severely injured. Only in the Chaos Spectrum would he have enough time to completely recover before the third round of the competition.
Many people thought that although Xiao Lingyu had reached the third round, his abilities would definitely be weakened by a lot with his heavily injured body. It was very likely that he would stop in the third round.
Meanwhile, the top powerhouses on Goat Horn Peak — the Shaman King, Saber9, Peacock Bright Monarch, Tianliang, and other cultivators who had interacted with Xiao Lingyu before — were all secretly surprised. 'That fellow's progress is too fast!'
