The terrifying power of the explosion enveloped Gu Xuan.
The sword wall was the first to crumble.
Then, the destructive power hit Gu Xuan.
Even the space within a hundred feet became extremely distorted, as if it would be torn apart at any time.
However, at this moment, a figure with golden light all over his body walked out of the distorted area.
His footsteps were extremely firm as he continued to walk up the stairs.
The metal covering his body had blocked most of the power of the explosion.
Crack.
Crack.
The metal shattered inch by inch, peeling off Gu Xuan's body and falling down.
However, not a single piece of metal could land on the ground. They turned into fine powder in mid-air and drifted away with the wind.
The explosion of the second and third doppelgänger did almost no damage to Gu Xuan.
Gu Xuan's face was expressionless.
It was as if the power of the explosion was not worth mentioning at all.
Of course, it was indeed not worth mentioning.
No matter how powerful the self-explosion of a peak King Stage cultivator was, how powerful could it be?
Gu Xuan had seen the self-explosion of a Saint Stage cultivator. What was a peak King Stage cultivator to him?
At the bottom of the stairs.
Dongfang Xue stood in the wind, her hair fluttering in the wind.
The Mortal Roll was in the sky above her.
The small line of words on the Mortal Roll finally changed.
"Second place — Gu Xuan!"
Dongfang Xue recited the line of changed text in a soft voice.
There was no surprise on her face.
Instead, a smile appeared on her face.
Her smile was like a flower.
Dongfang Xue did not continue to look. Instead, she turned around leisurely and walked out with light steps.
At the peak of the Saint Island.
Qin Kong, with a large bucket of spirit fruits on his head, walked to the place where the dozens of green flood dragons were playing and placed the spirit fruits on the ground.
The green flood dragons walked over leisurely and began to divide the spirit fruits Qin Kong had brought over.
At the side, a white-haired elder looked at Qin Kong with satisfaction.
"You are from the Burning Sky Continent. Originally, I should have made you into a puppet protector.
However, for Gu Xuan's sake, I'll let you go.
For the next five months, you can stay here and feed the green flood dragons.
When the competition officially begins, the Holy Elder will show mercy and allow you to participate.
At that time, with your strength, there's hope for you to get into the top ten.
However, don't blame me for not reminding you. During the Grand Competition, you can only fight for second place at most. Otherwise, hehe … "
"I will follow Elder Ma's instructions."
Qin Kong had a respectful look, but he was depressed in his heart.
Gu Xuan left without bringing him along, which made him feel a little disappointed.
However, after thinking about it, he felt relieved.
His strength was still too weak after all.
The fact that Lord Gu Xuan had brought him to the peak of the Saint Island and even protected him from death was already a great favor. How could he ask for more?
"I will definitely become stronger!"
Qin Kong clenched his fists. His eyes were firm.
Not far away in the Sacred Hall, a bell suddenly rang.
Elder Ma looked at the hall strangely.
"What instructions do you have for summoning us, Holy Elder?
Logically speaking, everything should be fine now, right? "
He walked towards the Holy Temple with a suspicious look.
The things that happened here, Gu Xuan naturally did not know.
He was not interested in knowing.
His current goal was to finish climbing the long Stairway to Heaven.
"I finished off all my opponents in one go. As expected, the rest of the time will be boring."
Gu Xuan rubbed his chin and began to regret.
When would the long Stairway to Heaven end?
Gu Xuan shook his head. Time could not be wasted.
Perhaps he could use this opportunity to refine his soul energy.
Furthermore, the energy of heaven and earth here was very abundant. He could absorb as much as possible. It would be best if he could fill his dantian.
At that time, when he reached the Second Heaven of the Saint realm, he would be able to reach the Emperor realm in one go.
Gu Xuan was looking forward to reaching the Second Heaven of the Saint realm. What would happen then?
Putting everything else aside, he had to go to the Dragon Gate.
Gu Xuan was very concerned about helping the green flood dragon evolve into a true dragon as soon as possible.
After all, it was a true dragon!
Not many people in the Burning Sky Continent had seen one. If he had a true dragon as his mount, he could only describe it in one word — cool!
As for the Holy Elder's warning, hehe, it was non-existent!
Gu Xuan knew very well that once he reached the Emperor realm, he would be able to recover the power of the Sovereign of Nine and Five.
Furthermore, since he would recover it in the Burning Sky Sacred Region, it would also have a suppressive effect on the Emperor realm cultivators in the Burning Sky Sacred Region.
No matter how powerful that Saint 2-dan Holy Elder was, could he possibly be stronger than an Emperor realm cultivator?
If he couldn't, wouldn't he have to kneel and lick their boots?
Gu Xuan thought happily for a while before completely immersing himself in it.
As he walked up step by step, a vortex formed above his head.
The spiritual energy in the surroundings was constantly drawn into the vortex and absorbed by Gu Xuan.
In the beginning, the vortex was only ten zhang wide.
However, it grew bigger and bigger.
Six hours later, it was already a hundred zhang wide.
Twenty-four hours later, the vortex was already a thousand zhang wide.
From afar, it looked like a huge storm. It was very terrifying.
On the Saint Island, everyone suddenly realized that the sky seemed to have dimmed a little.
Moreover, a gust of wind blew for no reason.
Some cultivators with powerful soul energy even realized that the spiritual energy above the Saint Island seemed to have weakened a little.
Furthermore, the situation was still worsening.
Many people looked up at the sky in surprise.
At the peak of the Saint Island, in the Sacred Palace.
The Holy Elder gathered all the core members of the upper echelons and held a twenty-four-hour meeting.
Apart from the participants, no one knew what was discussed in this meeting.
However, when the core high-ranking officials came out of the Sacred Palace, their expressions were a little heavy, and they kept sighing.
However, Dongfang Xue's face was full of smiles.
It formed a sharp contrast with the gloomy expressions of the old men.
Not long after, the Saint Island descended from the sky and landed on the ocean, where it began to expand.
Under Dongfang Xue's arrangement, the green flood dragons at the peak of the Saint Island entered the Dragon Palace and began to cultivate.
When they came out, it was already a month later.
All the cultivators on the Saint Island were surprised to find that not only had the green flood dragons' strength increased tremendously, but they had also begun to transform.
Most of the green flood dragons had already evolved into flood dragon heads, and they were only a step away from transforming into humans.
Dongfang Xue didn't show much joy at the green flood dragons' strength improvement.
Because she had been very angry recently!
"Damn Gu Xuan, you're just climbing the Stairway to Heaven. Can't you just walk up it properly?
