Chapter 426: Why Is It So Difficult For Me To Be Low Profile!?
The battle between Qi Shaoxuan and Shi Ling grew increasingly intense.
The Purple Aura River Mountain seemed to suppress the heavens, displaying an unmatched might.
He controlled the mountains and rivers with one hand and wielded the Heaven’s Halberd with the other, fully utilizing the True Dragon Sutra, Kun Peng arts, and other peerless battle skills.
Endless divine might surged outward like raging waves, making Shi Ling doubt his life!
Who the hell is this kid?
He just broke through to the Soul Formation stage, yet he already possesses such battle prowess?
I’m a mighty Mid-Stage Soul Formation cultivator, yet a mere Early-Stage Soul Formation brat is suppressing me?
You must be joking!
Could it be that I did not pray properly before I went out today and hence have bumped into a ghost!?
If he hadn’t seen Qi Shaoxuan’s Nascent Soul breakthrough to the Soul Formation stage with his own eyes, Shi Ling would have thought that Qi Shaoxuan was some old monster at Late-Stage Soul Formation pretending to be a young man to tease him!
However, he quickly reacted and began to mobilize his strength to counterattack.
As the North Prince, Shi Ling’s strength was naturally not weak. He had always crushed his opponents and reigned supreme with his invincible might!
No one had been able to fight against him for so long or even suppress him.
The battle intent in Shi Ling’s heart was instantly ignited!
Golden light blossomed around him like a blazing sun, piercing straight into the clouds.
The Golden Eagle covered the sky and earth. It let out a long cry and shattered the purple gas that filled the sky. The Purple Aura River Mountain had collapsed!
...
Qi Shaoxuan’s gaze froze. He could feel a change in Shi Ling’s aura. He was now like a primordial beast with an extremely ferocious aura!
Shi Ling broke free from the suppression of the purple energy, and his entire body bathed in golden light as if a deity descended into the mortal world.
He stared fixedly at Qi Shaoxuan, his eyes blazing. “You’re very strong and can put up a fight against ordinary Heavenly Venerables.
“Unfortunately, you have met me!
“You are destined to lose this battle!”
Shi Ling brandished the Universe Sun Moon Saber in his hands, sweeping it across the heavens.
In an instant, divine light erupted. The power of the sun and moon circulated endlessly, mixed with dazzling golden light.
Numerous dazzling golden eagles circulated around the blade, and their might became even more piercingly cold and unstoppable!
“Sky Eagle Nine Slashes!”
Shi Ling leaped out, merging with the Universe Sun Moon Saber. It was as if a heavenly eagle had possessed him, brandishing its divine wings, with the intention of destroying the mountains and rivers!
Streaks of dazzling golden saber beams were slashed out horizontally, piercing through the arena in the void and shattering the void. It was extremely terrifying.
“Just in time!”
The purple pupil on Qi Shaoxuan’s glabella shone brightly. A brilliant purple light shot out of his glabella and attacked the Golden Eagle avatar.
The Purple Pupil Calamity Light exploded and collided with the Sky Eagle Nine Slashes with supreme power, disintegrating and destroying it!
Qi Shaoxuan’s movements did not stop. The Kun Peng and the Dragon avatars appeared behind him. The two intertwined and rushed into the Heaven’s Halberd!
At that moment, Qi Shaoxuan’s aura became extremely domineering. He was like a God of War who dictated deaths, with the ability to rule the world!
“Kun Peng Dragon God Slash!”
Qi Shaoxuan let out a long roar as he swung his Heaven’s Halberd across the void, exuding the power of the Kun Peng and the Dragon. His aura was earth-shattering!
Boom!
Divine radiance erupted while the laws fell into disorder!
Boundless divine might tore through the sky, stirring up the heavens and blasting a huge hole in the protective formation.
The paragons were filled with shock and disbelief.
This void platform’s protective array formation was set up by Jixia Academy’s peak Heavenly Venerable teacher. Very few people could break through it!
However, the shockwaves from the battle between Qi Shaoxuan and the North Prince were terrifying!
Everyone could not help but look forward to the outcome of this battle.
The Void Platform became clear again. The Kun Peng Dragon avatar was currently devouring the originally majestic Golden Eagle avatar, and its golden radiance was dimming!
Boom!
A loud explosion resounded!
The North Prince smashed heavily against the Void Platform, creating a large hole.
The huge Copper Sparrow Pavilion turned silent!
The Middle Ground geniuses were dumbfounded.
No way!
The North Prince was defeated just like that!?
This generation’s Eastern Wilderness prodigies were way too powerful!
Could it be that this generation would reverse the status of the Eastern Wilderness geniuses?
Jixia Academy was where the geniuses of the five regions gathered, but the strongest were always the Middle Ground geniuses.
Middle Ground was filled with elites and powerful individuals. They established an unshakable status in the Jixia Academy!
Yet now that the Eastern Wilderness prodigies had appeared, a great sense of danger rose within them!
“His Highness, the South Prince, will surely win!”
The Middle Ground geniuses placed their hopes on the South Prince.
The situation of the battle was obvious. Wang Shenxu was indeed worthy of his title of the Great Void Saint. After being beaten up by the South Prince, all he knew was to flee in a panic! He did not even have any chance to retaliate!
Victory was already in their grasp!
...
Shi Kui frowned when he saw Shi Ling’s defeat.
The situation was extremely unfavorable for Middle Ground’s geniuses. Someone had to step forward to win back their dignity!
Shi Kui did not want to waste time. He wanted to quickly defeat Wang Shenxu!
Roar!
The Black Turtle avatar howled into the heavens. Endless profound rivers surged out, covering the heavens and earth as they fell.
Shi Kui wanted to cut off this patch of the void so that Wang Shenxu could not escape with the power of the void.
In the sky, endless profound mysteries descended, natural laws swirling about, sealing up heaven and earth, completely freezing the void.
Wang Shenxu’s expression changed slightly. Upon sensing that the void was sealed, he had no choice but to deal with it with all his might.
Wang Shenxu growled, “You are the one who made me do this, old turtle!
“The void lineage is not weaker than humans!
“Soul Formation, break!”
He seemed to have sensed the might of Shi Kui’s power, or perhaps he did not want to fall behind Qi Shaoxuan.
Wang Shenxu was finally anxious, and no longer hid his abilities!
He chanted a mantra, and divine light surrounded his body. The divine light overflowed and illuminated the sky!
A shadow appeared behind him. It was invisible and formless, but it was emitting a terrifying aura. It was as if one would fall into an endless abyss the moment one touched it!
The void was fluctuating as it constantly twisted and interweaved, forming strange spaces that shattered into pieces.
The rivers that filled the sky were instantly completely shattered.
The Grand Dao of the Void was profound and mysterious. It controlled the energy of the world and contained the Grand Dao of the Laws. Ordinary people could not touch it.
However, Wang Shenxu had the Void Sacred Constitution and could naturally control the power of the void!
The power of the endless void poured down like laws, all of it rushing into Wang Shenxu’s body, causing him to be surrounded by nomological divine light. Even his body became extremely illusory, as if he did not exist in this world!
Boom!
An incomparably vast aura burst forth, piercing straight into the clouds and causing chaos in the sky!
At this moment, Wang Shenxu directly entered the Soul Formation stage!
How satisfying!
Love it! Love it!
Is this the Soul Formation stage?
Not only did it greatly increase my strength, but even my lifespan has increased by 3,000 years!
That’s 3,000 years!
I can spend my life again!
Wang Shenxu was in high spirits as he glanced at Shi Kui. “Old turtle, watch how I slice you!”
With an additional 3,000 years of life, Wang Shenxu felt that he could win!
As soon as he made a move, he burned 50 years of his lifespan and transformed it into a void saber that slashed toward Shi Kui.
An attack that used his lifespan was indeed different. Even the Late-Stage Soul Formation Shi Kui felt a sense of danger.
Shi Kui condensed the Black Turtle avatar and transformed it into the Black Turtle Armor to block the Void Saber!
Clang!
Sparks flew as the tortoiseshell showed clear blade marks.
However, it was still a long way from shattering.
Wang Shenxu opened his eyes wide and said, “F*ck, why is this old turtle so hard?”
Shi Kui had signed a contract with the North Sea Black Turtle race. He cultivated the Black Turtle Emperor Scripture, and thus his defense was incomparably sturdy.
Even an ordinary peak Heavenly Venerable wouldn’t be able to break through his defenses.
Even though Wang Shenxu had broken through to the Soul Formation stage and had spent 50 years of his life, it was still quite difficult to break through his defenses.
The Middle Ground prodigies heaved a sigh of relief. They had thought that Wang Shenxu was as ferocious as Qi Shaoxuan and that he would be able to suppress Shi Kui after breaking through to the Soul Formation stage!
As expected, this guy was here to be funny!
Just as Wang Shenxu was in a daze, Shi Kui stepped forward and sent him flying with an Overlord God Fist.
Qi Shaoxuan glanced at Wang Shenxu. “Idiot!”
Wang Shenxu immediately became furious, jumping up and saying, “The one surnamed Qi, don’t look down on me. Today, I will show you what the Void bloodline is. I am the strongest!”
“Great Void Palm!”
Divine light burst forth from Wang Shenxu’s body, creating an endless tide.
The power of the void surged continuously, forming an incomparably huge hand seal!
The Great Void Palm stretched across the void, suppressing heaven and earth, bringing with it endless laws that descended with it!
Shi Kui’s expression changed drastically as he felt his heart tremble!
He hurriedly pushed the power of the black turtle to its limits. The Immovable Black Turtle Armor condensed into a pitch-black turtle shell that covered Shi Kui’s back.
There were mysterious and ancient patterns on the turtle shell. They contained great power and were indestructible!
After that, Shi Kui’s entire body shrunk within it, and he utilized the turtle shell’s strength to resist the Great Void Palm!
“So what if you’re wearing a turtle shell? I’ll beat you!”
Wang Shenxu was unmoved. He waved his void palm and slammed it heavily at the turtle shell!
Crack!
The incomparably sturdy tortoiseshell was riddled with cracks by the Great Void Palm and finally exploded.
Puchi!
Shi Kui spat out a mouthful of blood as his body flew out, his aura turning weak.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Wang Shenxu had changed his direction and avoided his vitals, the South Prince would have been slapped to death!
The power of this slap had already surpassed the limits of a Heavenly Venerable.
Its strength was comparable to that of a Sage!
...
When he saw Shi Kui retreat in defeat, Wang Shenxu was not happy. Instead, his heart ached so much that his mouth twitched.
My lifespan!
500 years, 500 years!
Just like that, it’s all gone!
I haven’t had enough yet. What a loss!
This won’t do. My life is already spent. How can I not put on a good show?
Wang Shenxu pretended to be aloof and said indifferently, “A mere Late-Stage Soul Formation cultivator, I can break you with a flick of my finger!
“Did you see this Qi Shaoxuan?
“I don’t usually bicker with you, but if we really fight, I’ll slap you to death!”
Speaking up to this point, Wang Shenxu could not help but laugh foolishly!
Awesome!
This was too awesome!
It feels good to show off for a while, but it feels best to show off all the time!
No wonder Qi Shaoxuan likes to act cool!
I love this feeling!
“Idiot!”
Qi Shaoxuan did not say anything, but he was secretly shocked.
This Wang fellow is indeed a formidable opponent for me!
The other Middle Ground geniuses were stunned.
They did not expect that even the South Prince would be defeated!
Moreover, he had lost even more decisively than the North Prince.
A single slap—just a single slap!
They had completely lost this battle!
The Middle Ground paragons lowered their heads helplessly. Their hearts were shaken!
They had originally wanted to use their absolute power to suppress the Eastern Wilderness geniuses, but they hadn’t expected to be slapped in the face instead.
As for the Eastern Wilderness heavenly geniuses, they all felt incredibly refreshed.
Ever since they had entered Jixia Academy, they had never been able to enjoy such glory.
This was especially true for the previous generations of Saints from the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground and the Great Void Sacred Ground. They were even more delighted!
As expected of Little Junior Brother, he really gave us face. In the future, when I go out to brag, I will have a lot to talk about!
Our lineage has finally been brought to greater heights, and the faces of the Senior Brothers of the past generations are also shining!
...
The South Prince and the North Prince looked at each other with solemn expressions.
The Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty had a tight grasp on the education of their juniors.
Even though they had been defeated, they did not bear any grudges!
Shi Ling stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, “Fellow Daoists, you possess such strength at such a young age. I admire you!
“Given your talents, you must be the top existences in Eastern Wilderness! If there’s a chance in the future, I hope to spar with you two again.”
To be able to defeat them at Early-Stage Soul Formation was enough to prove how talented the two of them were.
The Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty would try to rope in such a peerless genius!
As members of the royal family, the South Prince and North Prince were naturally aware of this.
Wang Shenxu was slightly stunned. He never expected the two great heirs to be so magnanimous!
We just beat up the two of them. Aren’t they angry?
However, their gazes do not seem to be fake. It should not be fake.
Yes, even though these two fellows are arrogant, they are pretty honest and upright.
One should not slap a smiling face. Wang Shenxu smiled and said, “No, no. Compared to the Divine Firmament Saint, we are like mud on the ground!
“I can’t even withstand a single blow from Brother Shen!”
Since he was already used to bragging, Wang Shenxu just opened his mouth.
When the Middle Ground paragons heard this, they instantly doubted their life!
No way!
Was the Divine Firmament Saint really that powerful?
The mouths of the South Prince and the North Prince twitched violently.
The two of you can’t even withstand a single strike from the Divine Firmament Saint? Then wouldn’t we be unable to even last half a move!?
“Is it possible that the Divine Firmament Saint is about to transcend the tribulation and become a Sage?”
The heir of the North King was skeptical. He felt that Wang Shenxu was boasting, but there was no evidence!
However, Qi Shaoxuan also walked out and sighed. “Brother Shen’s heroic bearing is unparalleled. We are far inferior!
“Even a Six Tribulation True Sage was sent flying by Brother Shen’s hammer. Do you think he is strong?”
Qi Shaoxuan was also full of admiration at the mention of Shen Tian. Even someone as proud as him had long since given up on comparing himself to Shen Tian.
There was no hope of becoming Eastern Wilderness’ number one. It was better for him to become the number one under the heavens!
“The Divine Firmament Saint sent a True Sage flying with a hammer?”
“How terrifying!”
The Middle Ground paragons took a deep breath, their hearts filled with shock.
Such an existence was not someone they could offend!
Shi Ling and Shi Kui looked at each other, and they both saw relief and fear in each other’s eyes!
Given Qi Shaoxuan and Wang Shenxu’s strength, there was no need for them to lie. If it was as they said, the Divine Firmament Saint was definitely a Tribulation Transcendence powerhouse!
At the very least, he had to be a supreme youth like Shi Tianzi.
If they had challenged the Divine Firmament Saint previously, they would have been defeated even more miserably.
The corners of Shen Tian’s mouth twitched when he heard the two flatter him.
Old Qi, since when did you learn how to suck up to others? Can’t you let me be a low-key handsome man?
...
At that moment, Shi Ling and Shi Kui walked over and cupped their hands toward Shen Tian. “Divine Firmament Saint, we offended you earlier. Please forgive us.”
“I didn’t expect Brother Shen to be able to defeat a Six Tribulation True Sage. You are indeed a dragon amongst men. I’m impressed!”
Shen Tian wiped his sweat and said helplessly, “The two princes are too polite. I was just lucky. That True Sage didn’t use his full strength.”
He had to keep a low profile. Low-key development was the way to go.
Shi Ling shook his head. “Brother Shen, there’s no need to be so humble. Being able to defeat a True Sage is already considered a feat! Given Brother Shen’s strength, you will definitely become famous!”
Shi Kui nodded. “I think so too!”
True Sages were extremely powerful. Even if they didn’t use their full strength, Heavenly Venerables wouldn’t be able to shake them!
Not only could the Divine Firmament Saint shake a Heavenly Venerable, but he could even send a True Sage flying with a hammer! He was simply too powerful!
The two princes wanted to rope him in. If they could pull Shen Tian into the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty, they would definitely be rewarded!
This was a peerless genius, and as long as he did not die, he would definitely become the strongest existence in the five regions!
If they didn’t try to curry favor with him now, when would they be able to?
Countless compliments sounded around Shen Tian.
What could Shen Tian do? He could only desperately say he was lucky.
However, this did not make everyone look down on him. Instead, they praised him even more fiercely.
“This generation’s Divine Firmament Saint is not only powerful, but he is also so humble. This is truly rare.”
“He killed a Six Tribulation True Sage before reaching 100 years old. His future is limitless!”
“I wonder who is stronger. Him or Prince Shi Tianzi!?”
“Even His Highness, Shi Tianzi, can’t kill a Six Tribulation True Sage!”
...
Shen Tian: “???”
Despair!
Do these guys not understand human language? I just want to keep a low profile. Why is it so difficult!?
