Shattering the Sword Stele with a Single Thought
The newcomer was naturally Chu Xingyun.
He stood in the middle of the stage, completely ignoring the shocked expressions of the crowd. His eyes gleamed as he stared deeply at the sword stele in front of him.
Earlier, at the instant when the sword stele cracked, Chu Xingyun could faintly feel an extremely obscure and ancient aura emanating from the stele, lingering in the air.
This aura was so mysterious that it was hard to describe with words. It allowed him to enter the martial arts arena without being aware of it.
"What a handsome man!" Xia Qingcheng's eyes flashed with a trace of amazement the instant she saw Chu Xingyun.
As the number one beauty in Grand Xia, her talent was unparalleled, and her beauty was peerless. Countless cultivators were willing to fall for her, but when facing Chu Xingyun, Xia Qingcheng actually felt that she was at a disadvantage.
"Are you done?" Chu Xingyun's indifferent voice caused Bai Muchen to be stunned. After which, his face erupted with rage as he stared fixedly at Chu Xingyun.
Earlier, when he left a sword mark on the sword stele, he successfully attracted Xia Qingcheng's attention. As long as he flattered her, the relationship between the two of them would definitely improve by leaps and bounds. It wouldn't be impossible for him to win Xia Qingcheng's heart.
However, Chu Xingyun's appearance attracted the attention of everyone. Even Xia Qingcheng couldn't help but cast a few more glances at him. This undoubtedly spoiled his plans.
"The difference between your cultivation base and mine is too great. It's impossible for you to break the sword stele. Step down." Bai Muchen waved his hands, his voice filled with coldness as he directly asked Chu Xingyun to step down from the stage.
Chu Xingyun's gaze shifted as he spoke, "You have the final say on this stage?"
As the sound of his voice faded, Bai Muchen's cold aura was released, transforming into a formless cold wind that engulfed the entire stage, causing the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth to solidify.
"Is this guy tired of living? Not only did he ruin Bai Muchen's plans, he even dared to refute him."
"It wasn't easy for Bai Muchen to get Xia Qingcheng's attention. Just when he was overjoyed, he was interrupted by someone else. This young man is probably doomed."
"The 5th Sky of the Earth Spirit Realm can only be considered to be at the middle level. If Bai Muchen were to make a move, he wouldn't be able to resist at all."
The crowd whispered amongst themselves as they stared at Chu Xingyun with pity in their eyes. Among the geniuses participating in this training, there were several dangerous individuals. Bai Muchen was one of them.
If Fang Shi was said to be a ferocious lion that killed ruthlessly, then Bai Muchen would be a venomous snake that hid in the dark, ready to strike at any moment to devour its prey.
"What a fool!" Teng Qing cursed Chu Xingyun in his heart. At the same time, he looked at his surroundings. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he quietly retreated and left the place.
From his point of view, Chu Xingyun had angered Bai Muchen, and the consequences would be extremely tragic. For his own safety, it was best to draw a clear line between himself and Chu Xingyun to prevent himself from being implicated.
After Teng Qing left, the formless cold wind that engulfed the stage became even colder. Just as Bai Muchen was about to make a move, Xia Qingcheng's voice rang out. "As long as you are a sword cultivator, regardless of your cultivation level, you can step onto the stage."
She took a few steps forward and glanced at Chu Xingyun before saying to Bai Muchen, "Young Master Bai, please step back for now."
"Okay." Bai Muchen's face was once again filled with a smile, but his eyes were still filled with coldness as he stared coldly at Chu Xingyun. He did not step down from the stage, but stood at the back with his arms crossed in front of his chest with a look of disdain.
"Young Master, this way please." Xia Qingcheng said as she took a step back.
In an instant, everyone's gaze fell onto Chu Xingyun. Some were pitiful, some were curious, and some were mocking. They all treated Chu Xingyun as a joke and wanted to see him make a fool of himself.
After all, the Sword Stele had been erected in the ancient city for three years and no one had been able to break it. Chu Xingyun was only at the Fifth Sky of the Earth Spirit Level and was still so young. How could he break the Sword Stele?
Before the attempt had even begun, everyone had already guessed the result.
Chu Xingyun did not care about everyone's gazes. He came before the Sword Stele and stretched out his hand, placing it on the body of the Sword Stele.
Whoosh!
With a slight tremble of his heart, the ancient aura appeared once again. It flowed out from the body of the Sword Stele and flowed up along Chu Xingyun's arm until it entered his mind.
In an instant, a shocking scene appeared in Chu Xingyun's vision. Dense forests, continuous mountains, and countless birds and beasts were roaring. The aura was so violent that it was as if he had come to the Primordial Age and everything had returned to its original state.
Whoosh!
Right at this moment, the sound of a sword rang out in the murky sky.
Then, under Chu Xingyun's gaze, an incomparably huge ancient longsword pierced through the clouds. The length of the sword was at least a thousand meters, and the sword light was awe-inspiring. It tore apart the layers of clouds like a falling meteor, breaking through the sky.
A rumbling sound rang out. Before the sword touched the ground, the sword edge had already swept away. Everything that came into contact with the sword edge was shattered. Even the sky was no exception, revealing pitch-black cracks.
"Could this sword be the legendary ancient sword?" Chu Xingyun's face was filled with shock. In the next moment, he suddenly realized that the shocking ancient sword was piercing towards him. The Sword Qi was released and turned into a vortex, enveloping his entire body.
It was also at this moment that Chu Xingyun could clearly see that there was a ray of light in the center of the vortex. The tail of the light was like a rainbow, piercing through the layers of the void and finally entering between his eyebrows.
Buzz!
The moment the ray of light disappeared, the scene in front of him turned into nothingness. Chu Xingyun's pitch-black eyes regained their former vigor. His body trembled slightly, and he casually pushed his palm forward.
A cracking sound was heard, and a long crack appeared on the smooth body of the Sword Stele. The crack continued to spread like a spider web, covering the entire Sword Stele in an instant.
In the next moment, a cool breeze blew past.
The body of the Sword Stele shattered, turning into thousands of broken stones that fell onto the stage, stirring up clouds of dust.
The broken stones fell onto the stage, emitting a series of muffled sounds. These sounds reverberated through the air, and at the same time, shook the hearts of the crowd, causing their expressions to freeze on their faces.
Before this, they all thought that Chu Xingyun was a joke, and would become the laughing stock of everyone.
But the result was a ruthless slap to their faces. Especially Bai Muchen, whose heart was beating wildly, his face was flushed red, and his eyes were about to split open. He simply couldn't believe this scene.
Chu Xingyun, with his cultivation at the 5th Sky of the Earth Spirit Realm, broke the Sword Stele, and even shattered it!
"The Sword Stele actually … shattered."
Xia Qingcheng was stunned on the spot, her lips trembling as she constantly muttered this sentence.
