The demonic clouds rolled down outside the Lingzong and Wanshi Alliance camps, forming a separate camp. As the demonic clouds dispersed, the Martial Artists looked over and saw a magnificent tiger sitting on a huge golden chair.
Seeing this, the corners of the Martial Artists' mouths twitched slightly. This enormous tiger, like a small mountain, wore a large gold chain around its neck, with its legs slightly apart and its claws resting on the armrests of the chair.
Its eyes were wide open, exuding an imposing aura.
There was a sense of lawlessness!
"Great Monster King, why have you come to the battlefield of the elites?" asked the Lord of the Yuling Mansion with a dark face.
"I have come here naturally to participate in the battlefield of the elites. Since it is a competition among the elites of the Spirit Domain, how can my Monster Race be excluded?" resounded the majestic voice of the red cat.
"Great Monster King, you have quite a thick skin. This is the battlefield of the elites. How old are you, and yet you have the audacity to participate?" the Lord of the Yuling Mansion said angrily, unable to hold back his laughter.
"Since my birth until now, it has not been even thirty years. According to age, I am also among the ranks of the elites!" proudly declared the red cat.
"What?" Everyone was shocked. This Great Monster King was not even thirty years old?
Impossible!
"Master, is the red cat really not yet thirty years old?" Su Lingxiu asked curiously.
Li Xuan's mouth twitched and he said, "It's possible that it really isn't!"
Although the red cat they had captured in the mountains was already an adult cat, if they calculated its age from birth, it probably hadn't been thirty years yet!
"I didn't expect it. The red cat is also an elite," Su Lingxiu laughed.
"Great Monster King, don't joke around!" Thundercloud Manor's Lord said in a deep voice.
"Who's joking? How old I am can be verified. Today, I am here to participate in the battlefield of the elites!" the red cat said coldly.
With a cold gaze, it swept across the Lingzong camp and said, "What? Look down on my Monster Race?"
Behind the red cat, a group of powerful Monster Race experts roared angrily, showing a stance that if the Lingzong didn't allow Monster Race to participate, they would cause trouble.
"Since Monster Race is also a race of the Spirit Domain, naturally they cannot be excluded. I, the Wanshi Alliance, have no objections," said Fang Hao with a smile.
The Lord of the Yuling Mansion's face darkened. The Great Monster King's strength was extremely strong, already surpassing the elites. Did that mean it would take first place?
"As long as the Great Monster King truly complies with the rules, there is no harm in participating," said Emperor Da Zhou with a smile.
In the end, the red cat successfully participated.
Once it was confirmed, the figure of the red cat disappeared into the Monster Race camp and appeared on the Evergreen Pavilion's flying ship, meowing and trying to please its owner, Li Xuan.
"You're an interesting cat," Li Xuan laughed and Jade Ruyi tapped the red cat's head.
The red cat's strength was already very strong. It had cultivated many techniques of the Great Monster, and if it were to fight against the Lord of the Yuling Mansion again, the Lord of the Yuling Mansion would probably no longer be a match for the red cat.
"Pay respects, Senior!" Xie Lingfeng and his son Xie Tianheng arrived from the Yun Tian Bi Hai City.
Li Xuan nodded and looked at Xie Tianheng's wife, Fu Yun, feeling somewhat surprised. How did Xie Tianheng manage to marry Fu Yun back when they were in the Inner Domain?
Fu Yun also looked at Li Xuan curiously. Was this the mysterious expert?
Xie Lingfeng also participated in the battlefield of the elites. There were also some elites from the Yun Tian Bi Hai City this time, including Li Shao and Hai Bo'er.
"What about Xu Xiong?" Xie Lingfeng asked with doubt after catching up with Meng Chong and the others.
"Senior Brother hasn't returned yet, but he should be back soon," Meng Chong said with a smile.
The day of the battlefield of the elites arrived.
Boom!
With a rainbow light spanning across the sky, reflecting a magnificent scene over the blue sea, several figures stood in formation.
"Today, the final battle of the Tianjiao Competition will determine the top 100, who will earn one spot, the top 10 will earn five spots, and the top 3 will earn ten spots.
"Do not ask what these spots are for, you will know after the final battle.
"In the Tianjiao Competition, life and death, victory and defeat are determined by the Tianjiao themselves. This battle is not for seeking revenge..."
The Emperor of Da Zhou announced the rules of the Tianjiao Competition.
"Why hasn't the eldest senior brother returned yet?" Su Lingxiu wondered.
"He has returned," Li Xuan calmly smiled.
The group looked up and saw a pale blue light shooting across the sky, and soon a figure landed on the Evergreen Pavilion flying boat.
In their hands, they held a pale blue flying boat.
"Master, second junior brother, third junior sister... thank you, Brother Xie!" Xu Yan smiled.
After returning to Wu Zhou, he learned that the battle would take place in Hong Zhou, so he hurriedly rushed over and finally made it back in time for the start of the final battle.
After the Emperor of Da Zhou finished announcing the rules of the Tianjiao Competition, he concluded, "The Tianjiao Competition has begun. You can challenge according to the rankings or directly challenge anyone on the Tianjiao List."
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man from the Qianwu Hall camp stepped forward.
He held a long sword, which was a Divine Weapon.
As he stepped forward, spiritual light emerged from his body, blending with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the power of the laws of heaven and earth continuously gathered.
Spirit Body Tianjiao!
This young man was obviously the true Tianjiao of the Qianwu Hall.
"Not weak in strength!" Xu Yan smiled and said.
As the Tianjiao of the Qianwu Hall stepped forward, the other Tianjiao looked serious. They thought that Xu Yan would challenge and defeat the Qianwu Hall's Tianjiao, but they didn't expect such a powerful Tianjiao. Judging from his strength, he was definitely not weaker than the Qianwu Hall's leader!
"The Qianwu Hall is lucky this time!" the Emperor of Da Zhou exclaimed.
Beside him, the City Lord of Yun Tian Bi Hai City, Fu Tianhai, nodded with some envy. "Indeed, they have five core Tianjiao, while our Yun Tian City only has three."
"What about the Hai Ling Clan?" the Emperor of Da Zhou asked in surprise.
"They only have Hai Bo'er's bloodline, which is comparable to a Spirit Body," Fu Tianhai nodded.
"Who do you think he will challenge?" the Emperor of Da Zhou asked with a smile.
"Xu Yan!" Fu Tianhai smiled.
The Emperor of Da Zhou nodded. The final battle of the Tianjiao Competition had just begun, and the core Tianjiao of the Qianwu Hall had already made their appearance, undoubtedly targeting Xu Yan.
Especially since this person also practiced the way of the sword.
"How likely do you think Xu Yan is to win?" the Emperor of Da Zhou pondered for a moment and asked.
"You're asking the wrong question," Fu Tianhai shook his head and smiled. "You should ask how many moves it will take for Xu Yan to defeat his opponent!"
The Emperor of Da Zhou was taken aback and looked at Fu Tianhai in disbelief, saying, "Is Xu Yan really that powerful in your eyes?"
"In the world of swordsmanship, Xu Yan is unrivaled. There is no need to doubt!" Fu Tianhai smiled and said no more.
Xu Yan alone suppressed the Tianjiao of Bi Hai, and even Li Shao and Hai Bo'er together were no match. Compared to before, Xu Yan must be even stronger now.
Apart from the Emperor of Da Zhou and Fu Tianhai, the other strong individuals also realized that the Tianjiao of the Qianwu Hall was targeting Xu Yan.
"Where is Xu Yan?"
"Has he arrived?"
"He must have come. In such a decisive battle, proclaiming himself as the pride of the Spirit Domain, how could he not come?"
Sure enough.
The young man with a sword walked into the arena and coldly said, "Niu Qiansheng of the Qianwu Hall, where is Xu Yan? Come out and fight!"
"So this is the pride that the Qianwu Hall has been hiding?"
Xu Yan said disappointedly.
"So weak."
Although the opponent was weak, he was very arrogant and confident. Since he had called him out by name, if he didn't show up, wouldn't it make him look down on him?
Xu Yan took a step forward and instantly appeared in the decisive battle arena.
"You are too weak. Let someone else from the Qianwu Hall come... Forget it, let all of you from the Qianwu Hall come together."
Xu Yan sighed, full of disappointment.
Everyone: ...
Indeed, Xu Yan, it has only been a few years, but he has become even more arrogant than when he blocked the entrance of the Qianwu Hall.
He didn't even consider the Qianwu Hall.
The Qianwu Hall Master and others had gloomy expressions. Xu Yan's arrogance was too much!
"Xu Yan, don't be so proud. We were in seclusion and unable to fight back at that time. Otherwise, how could you have been so arrogant?"
Niu Qiansheng pointed his sword and said coldly, "You, Xu Yan, claim to be the supreme in the world of swordsmanship. That's because you haven't encountered me. Today, I will let you see the true swordsmanship of the Qianwu Hall!"
The Martial Artists of the Lingzong all had a look of realization.
"I knew it. The Qianwu Hall is superior to the Lingzong. How could they not have a pride to respond to Xu Yan's challenge? It turns out they were in seclusion and unable to come out to fight."
"The Qianwu Hall's Martial Dao is incredibly powerful, especially their swordsmanship. Xu Yan finally has an opponent. Let's see how arrogant he can be."
For the Martial Artists of the Lingzong, the Qianwu Hall was one of the superior sects, deeply rooted in strength. If they were defeated by an Independent Cultivator, they would feel uncomfortable.
Now that they saw Niu Qiansheng's strength, they couldn't help but feel excited. They were about to witness the Qianwu Hall's display of power.
However, Xu Yan had a disdainful expression on his face and shook his head. "The Qianwu Hall doesn't have swordsmanship, only sword techniques. In front of me, your so-called swordsmanship is just a facade."
"If you don't believe me, take a look at your sword. Is it still your sword?"
"Arrogant!"
Niu Qiansheng raised his sword, and the power of the laws of heaven and earth gathered, as if connecting heaven and earth, with an overwhelming momentum.
Sharp sword light illuminated the surroundings.
"So strong!"
"This is the rumored core pride of the Qianwu Hall?"
"This is Spirit Body talent?"
Among the observing Martial Artists, those who had condensed the essence of heaven and earth, and even the aura of the laws of heaven and earth, couldn't help but be amazed when they saw Niu Qiansheng's move.
Even the elders of the Qianwu Hall felt the same.
The power of the Spirit Body, at this moment, they truly realized its strength.
Although they had condensed the aura of the laws of heaven and earth, the power of the laws of heaven and earth gathered by the Spirit Body was stronger and operated more smoothly.
It seemed that the power of the laws of heaven and earth could be used more freely.
"The existence of the Lingzong is for the Spirit Body pride, to discover and cultivate the Spirit Body pride. That's why it's called the Lingzong. These Independent Cultivators, the Eternal Alliance, and even 99% of the Lingzong don't know this."
Da Zhou Huang sighed.
Fu Tianhai smiled. The secret of the Lingzong revolved around the Spirit Body pride, all for the sake of discovering and nurturing the Spirit Body pride.
"If the Spirit Body pride of the Qianwu Hall were to fall, what do you think would happen?"
Fu Tianhai suddenly spoke.
"I'm afraid the Qianwu Hall would go crazy."
Da Zhou Huang thought for a moment and said.
"Would the Divine Bridge be opened ahead of time?"
Fu Tianhai asked after pondering for a moment.
"There is no need to open the Divine Bridge. You also know that the opening of the Divine Bridge has a fixed time, but there can also be a temporary opening of a virtual bridge to guide the Spirit Body pride away or invite a deity to descend."
"If the Spirit Body pride of the Qianwu Hall is killed, the Qianwu Hall would probably open a virtual bridge."
Da Zhou Huang said with a smile.
"If there's a good show to watch, that's all I need," Fu Tianhai said happily.
On the battlefield, all the Martial Artists' gazes converged. When Niu Qiansheng made his move, it was awe-inspiring.
The sword light flashed and killed Xu Yan.
But Xu Yan remained indifferent, not even drawing his sword. He even had one hand behind his back, showing extreme contempt for Niu Qiansheng's attack.
"You haven't even entered the realm of swordsmanship, yet you dare to draw your sword in front of me, a sword god?" Xu Yan smiled and moved his hand forward.
Boom!
To everyone's shock, the sword light that was aimed at Xu Yan actually stopped in its tracks and then turned around, attacking Niu Qiansheng instead.
What was even more terrifying was that Niu Qiansheng's sword was out of control.
Trembling, shaking, and then it slipped out of his hand and fell into Xu Yan's hand.
"How is this possible!" Niu Qiansheng's expression was horrified.
The sword light swept over and stopped in front of him.
Xu Yan looked at the sword in his hand. Although it was a Divine Weapon, it didn't impress him.
With his current level of Martial Dao, especially his cultivation in swordsmanship, Niu Qiansheng, who hadn't entered the realm of swordsmanship and hadn't comprehended Sword Intent, had no qualifications to draw his sword against him.
In an instant, Niu Qiansheng's sword became Xu Yan's sword!
The profoundness of the state of mind was something that those who hadn't entered the realm of swordsmanship couldn't understand.
"It's worthy of being a sword god. Even I would find it difficult to draw my sword against Xu Yan!" Xie Tianheng sighed.
Although he had a Transparent Sword Heart and had comprehended Sword Intent, he still found it difficult to draw his sword against Xu Yan, although not as embarrassing as Niu Qiansheng.
The Lord of Qianwu Hall and others suddenly stood up, their faces filled with astonishment.
Niu Qiansheng was already the number one swordsman in Qianwu Hall.
He was a Spirit Body genius, yet he wasn't a match for Xu Yan?
"No, Xu Yan's swordsmanship is extremely mysterious. Any Martial Artist in swordsmanship would find it difficult to defeat him!" The Lord of Qianwu Hall said in a deep voice.
At this moment, even if he was unwilling, he had to admit that Xu Yan was the supreme figure in the world of swordsmanship.
Xu Yan didn't continue to attack. He looked towards the side of Qianwu Hall and threw Niu Qiansheng's sword back.
Although it was a Divine Weapon, it didn't impress him.
"You all in Qianwu Hall have always wanted to trample on me, Xu Yan, and regain the face you lost back then. Today, I'll give you a chance."
"Come at me together, not just the geniuses."
With a calm tone, he uttered the most arrogant words.
Silence!
All the Martial Artists were dumbfounded. Xu Yan's arrogance had always been rumored, but rumors were one thing, witnessing it with their own eyes was another.
One person challenging the entire Qianwu Hall?
Not just limited to the geniuses, which meant that all the strong members of Qianwu Hall could attack together?
Where did Xu Yan get the confidence from?
Swish!
Everyone's gaze turned towards the side of Qianwu Hall.
They were waiting for Qianwu Hall's decision. Would they attack Xu Yan together or send out even stronger geniuses?
Niu Qiansheng was obviously unable to do it, he couldn't even make a move.
They were just watching the grand spectacle.
The Lord of Qianwu Hall and others had extremely gloomy expressions, their eyes filled with killing intent.
Attack together?
Although Qianwu Hall was known as the most shameless sect, it didn't mean that they didn't care about their reputation at all.
Xu Yan could make arrogant remarks, but Qianwu Hall couldn't just swarm in and attack.
Otherwise, where would the dignity of the transcendent Ling Sect be?
