Chapter 425: This Is My Time To Shine!

Looking at the huge bump on Kuduo’s head, a Middle Ground prodigy could not help but sneer. “As expected of an accomplished monk! He looks like a Buddha that has just descended to the mortal world!”

Previously, the Middle Ground geniuses had been worried that this batch of Eastern Wilderness prodigies would far surpass the previous generations.

From the looks of it now, they were worrying too much!

“So it’s not that the Eastern Wilderness elites are all abnormal. It’s just the Divine Firmament disciples that are abnormal. The other Eastern Wilderness sacred grounds are nothing to fear!”

Wang Shenxu and Qi Shaoxuan looked at each other, their mouths twitching slightly.

Because of this bald monk, even we have been underestimated!?

The two of them glared at Kuduo and snorted. “How embarrassing!”

Kuduo shrank his neck and covered his face as he wailed miserably. “This poor monk didn’t want this to happen either!

“They’re bullying me! They sent a Heavenly Venerable to beat me up! They even hung me up and beat me up!”

Kuduo had a head full of bumps, and he was in complete despair.

…

At that moment, the situation on the platform changed once more.

After Zhao Hao defeated the two Heavenly Venerables, Zhang Yunting also forced two of them to retreat.

Like father, like son, Zhang Yunting had completely inherited the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s style and had hidden his strength too deeply.

Even his biological sister, Zhang Yunxi, might not fully know of Zhang Yunting’s true strength.

He had only used the Sage artifact, the Sky Dragon Seven Note Zither, and the two Heavenly Venerables had been unable to approach him.

Zhang Yunting forcefully held back the two Heavenly Venerables. Black smoke rose from their heads as the Divine Firmament Heavenly Lightning Array struck them. Finally, they retreated in defeat!

The battle prowess of the 10 Heavenly Venerables decreased drastically, and they could only turtle up and barely resist.

It would not be long before they were defeated.

The South Prince and North Prince both had a frown on their faces. As the Middle Ground geniuses’ leaders, how could they watch their team embarrass themselves?

This was simply slapping their faces!

The North Prince, Shi Ling, could no longer sit still and took the lead to walk out. He controlled the divine rainbow and transformed into dazzling golden light, making him seem like a golden bolt of lightning!

However, Shi Ling did not interfere in the battle between the 10 Heavenly Venerables and the four Divine Firmament prodigies. Instead, he looked down at the Eastern Wilderness paragons.

He shouted coldly, “Where is Divine Firmament Saint? Come up and fight me!”

Shi Ling’s eyes were full of disdain as he looked down on everyone. He was like an exceptional monarch that looked down on all living beings.

He already had a plan in mind.

It was only a matter of time before the 10 Heavenly Venerables were defeated. Anyone with eyes could see this.

If he were to forcibly interfere, he would instead be looked down upon by the crowd.

The loss outweighed the gain. This was not a way to redeem the Middle Ground prodigies’ pride.

Shi Ling intended to directly challenge the Divine Firmament Saint and regain their dignity.

As the saying goes, “To catch the bandits, one must first catch their leader.”

Only the strongest elite disciple could hold the position of the Saint!

As long as he defeated the Divine Firmament Saint, what could the other Divine Firmament disciples do?

This way, not only would he be able to restore the pride of the geniuses from the Middle Ground, but he would also be able to establish his authority.

This generation’s Divine Firmament Saint was famous throughout the five regions, and everyone knew of him!

To be mentioned by Huang Shi, his strength was definitely not simple!

However, Shi Ling didn’t care. Among the Middle Ground younger generation, apart from Shi Tianzi, no one else could make him feel restraining fear.

Today, he wanted to see how strong the Divine Firmament Saint was.

Shi Ling’s eyes were as sharp as golden blades as they swept across the Eastern Wilderness geniuses.

This was one of the top elites from Middle Ground, a true young Heavenly Venerable.

Could the Divine Firmament Saint defeat such a powerful existence?

Yes, he definitely could!

After all, he was the legendary Divine Firmament Saint!

Because they had all received help from him, the Eastern Wilderness paragons had a favorable impression of Shen Tian.

They firmly believed that Shen Tian could win honor for Eastern Wilderness!

He was the hope of the entire Eastern Wilderness!

…

However, before Shen Tian could say anything, a loud roar was heard. “A mere Soul Formation cultivator doesn’t need Brother Shen to tend to!”

Qi Shaoxuan soared into the sky. He stepped on the purple Qi rainbow and flew onto the platform.

Shi Ling’s eyes remained calm as he indifferently asked, “Who are you?”

Qi Shaoxuan was full of fighting spirit. “Purple Mansion Saint, Qi Shaoxuan!”

Qi Shaoxuan could feel how powerful Shi Ling was. He was an opponent he longed to go against.

Shi Ling’s face was filled with disdain as he sneered, “Nascent Soul stage? This prince will defeat you like slaughtering a dog. It’s better to let the Divine Firmament Saint come up!”

Qi Shaoxuan said indifferently, “I’m enough to deal with you!”

Vast amounts of purple energy erupted from his body, purple mist overflowing into the heavens as if he was going to overturn heaven and earth.

The Heaven’s Halberd pierced through the void, tearing apart a large expanse of space as it erupted with an incomparably mighty aura.

The moment such power was unleashed, even the Middle Ground prodigies were secretly shocked.

They never expected Eastern Wilderness to have such a powerful paragon other than the Divine Firmament Saint!

Or could this person be a fake, just like that bald monk?

The Middle Ground paragons were very curious. They wanted to see what capabilities Qi Shaoxuan had to dare challenge the North Prince!

Shi Ling’s eyes narrowed slightly as he sneered and said, “Interesting. Rumor has it that the Purple Mansion Saint has the talent of a Thearch! I would like to see what this so-called Thearch talent is capable of!”

Resplendent golden light blossomed behind Shi Ling, condensing into an incomparably massive Golden Eagle avatar.

The divine eagle soared into the sky, enshrouding heaven and earth in boundless golden light.

A large saber appeared in his hand, engraved with strange divine patterns.

“This is a supreme Sage artifact, the Universe Sun Moon Saber. I will use it to suppress you today!”

Shi Ling’s pupils erupted with golden light as his aura became terrifying. Behind him, the Golden Eagle avatar surged, causing the sun and moon to lose their color.

Divine light shot out of the Universe Sun Moon Saber. It was extremely dazzling and carried a boundless divine might as it pierced through the void.

Shi Ling stepped forward with the Universe Sun Moon Saber in hand. His might seemed terrifying as if he wanted to shatter the moon and shatter the mountains and rivers.

Qi Shaoxuan’s expression did not change. The Heaven’s Halberd in his hand let out a ring that resounded in all directions.

Boundless violet Qi transformed into a gigantic purple dragon that seemed capable of devouring the sun, moon, and stars!

Clang!

Sparks flew everywhere!

The two of them instantly collided, and their clash seemed to shake heaven and the earth, causing space to collapse completely.

The Middle Ground paragons were stunned. “This guy is so strong!”

“His combat ability is on a completely different level from that fake monk who was pretending to be mysterious!”

Everyone was amazed. To be able to contend with Shi Ling, who was a Heavenly Venerable, his talent could be considered terrifying.

Kuduo, “???”

“Why does it involve me again? This poor monk feels bitter!”

Kudo grimaced, drawing circles while having doubts about his life.

…

“Good boy, you do have some skill, but your cultivation is too weak!”

This was the first time Shi Ling had encountered a Nascent Soul cultivator who could contend with him, so he was rather interested.

However, Qi Shaoxuan’s cultivation realm was at a severe disadvantage. Given Shi Ling’s Mid-Stage Soul Formation cultivation, suppressing a Nascent Soul cultivator was a simple matter!

Qi Shaoxuan’s battle intent soared. “You are merely a Soul Formation cultivator. I can break the difference with a snap of my fingers!’

To Qi Shaoxuan, Shi Ling wasn’t a formidable opponent.

He had previously tried to challenge experts from all places and walked the path of invincibility.

It was a pity that he had met Shen Tian, who made him question his life.

However, apart from him, Qi Shaoxuan had not lost to anyone before at all!

He boasted that he would never be weaker than others in his life and that he would definitely become the number one powerhouse in the world in the future.

Even a Mid-Stage Heavenly Venerable wasn’t enough to make him feel fear!

The purple aura in Qi Shaoxuan’s body surged wildly and turned into a long river!

The surging energy circulated around his body continuously before soaring into the sky and condensing into a supreme avatar!

The Purple Dragon avatar roared through the universe while the Purple Mountain and River phenomenon suppressed the world. The Golden Eagle avatar pierced straight into the nine heavens, its momentum like a rainbow!

Qi Shaoxuan’s aura became more and more powerful. He couldn’t help but raise his head to the sky and roar, “Since I have been born in Eastern Wilderness, I, Qi Shaoxuan, will make the Eastern Wilderness prosper forever!

“Breakthrough to the Soul Formation Stage, success!”

In an instant, the purple Qi entered Qi Shaoxuan’s body. His cultivation level rapidly increased. With the support of the purple Qi, divine light surrounded his body, and dense mist overflowed!

Boom!

Qi Shaoxuan’s body trembled slightly, and his aura transformed into a vast ocean as he successfully broke through to the Soul Formation stage.

A large amount of the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill’s medicinal power accumulated in his body was mobilized at this moment to advance.

After breaking through to the Soul Formation stage, Qi Shaoxuan’s aura became even more powerful. Purple aura surrounded his body, making him look like a God of War.

Shi Ling nodded and said in satisfaction, “This is more interesting!”

“Fight!”

As Qi Shaoxuan broke through, Shi Ling’s fighting spirit was ignited.

The Universe Sun Moon Saber in his hand shone brightly. Runes flowed rapidly, forming a scene where the sun and moon intersected, giving rise to a huge saber beam!

The saber beam shook heaven and the earth, causing the grand array of the Void Platform to tremble, looking as if it was about to completely shatter!

“Universe Sun Moon Slash!”

Shi Ling let out a long howl and heavily slashed out with his blade, annihilating the endless void.

“Dragon Cloud Sky Shattering Attack!”

The Dragon Qi in Qi Shaoxuan’s body was vast and mighty. Purple Qi rose, and the Heaven’s Halberd swept across the sky, shooting out incomparably terrifying halberd beams.

In an instant, the saber beam and the halberd beam collided.

Rumble!

An earth-shattering explosion sent both of them flying.

Soon, these two people continued to charge forward. The speed of their battle was extremely fast, causing the arena to be filled with afterimages.

The two of them were also battle maniacs. After encountering an evenly matched opponent, both of them ignited their fighting spirit and insisted on determining victory or defeat!

In just a few breaths’ time, the two of them had exchanged hundreds of blows.

This scene caused the blood of all the paragons to boil.

A battle between two peerless geniuses was extremely rare.

However, the Middle Ground paragons soon realized that something was amiss!

Even though Qi Shaoxuan and Shi Ling were evenly matched, they had both suffered some blows from the other party.

It did not take long before the purple Qi covered the entire arena and suppressed the golden radiance.

Qi Shaoxuan’s dominance over Shi Ling became more and more proficient, and the battle prowess he unleashed also became stronger!

“Purple Aura River Mountain! Form!”

Behind Qi Shaoxuan’s back, a purple aura came from the east and covered the sky.

Boundless purple energy turned into endless mountains and rivers, seemingly about to suppress the world!

Every time Qi Shaoxuan attacked, endless purple Qi would be stirred. It was as if an immemorial divine mountain was pressing down heavily!

In an instant, Shi Ling was forced to retreat repeatedly, completely suppressed by Qi Shaoxuan.

A Middle Ground prodigy exclaimed, “How is that possible!? That’s the North Prince!”

Even someone as strong as the North Prince couldn’t defeat this generation’s Eastern Wilderness genius?

What kind of monsters were they?

The Seventh Purple Mansion Saint was full of vigor. He laughed at the sky and said, “So what if he’s the North King’s heir? My Little Junior Brother is still suppressing him!”

The Seventh Purple Mansion Saint finally understood why the successive generations of Divine Firmament Saints looked so satisfied.

This feeling of exaltation was really too enjoyable!

…

At that moment, Wang Shenxu could no longer sit still. He felt his heart itch when he saw Qi Shaoxuan stealing the limelight on the Void Platform!

No way! I want to be in the limelight too!

With this thought in mind, Wang Shenxu directly rushed into the Void Platform. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking like a peerless expert as he looked down at the South Prince and said, “You, come up!”

Old Wang thought to himself, This kid seems to be a man of few words. I’m sure he’s not very strong. Let’s see if I can take advantage of this fellow. After all, a persimmon has to be crushed by someone weaker!

Hehe!

I will definitely be the one in the spotlight today!

Wang Shenxu did not think too much about it and directly challenged Shi Kui!

“Courting death!”

Shi Kui spoke indifferently while his entire body transformed into a vast divine light that carried a mighty imposing aura as he charged up to the arena in the sky.

Mysterious light surrounded his body as the shadow of a huge black turtle condensed behind him. The moment he stepped onto the stage, he charged toward Wang Shenxu.

Wang Shenxu was shocked as his defense was instantly broken. “What the f*ck? Late-Stage Heavenly Venerable!?”

Who would have thought that this quiet fellow would be so fierce? His aura was even stronger than that of the North Prince!

Did I hit a metal plate this time?

Even though Wang Shenxu was alarmed, he did not forget to dodge and immediately escaped into the void.

Boom!

A large area of the void shattered, causing space to distort.

This attack alone was enough to annihilate an ordinary Heavenly Venerable!

Shi Kui’s brows knit together slightly as he felt that he hadn’t struck his target and his target had fled.

Indeed, on the other end of the Void Platform, the figure of Wang Shenxu emerged.

However, his expression was a little ugly as he kept muttering, “This turtle is so fierce! Are you trying to push my lungs out with this strength of yours?”

Although he could escape into the void to avoid the damage, his reaction was a little slow because he wanted to show off earlier. The aftershocks had caused some damage to him.

This Middle Ground prince was quite powerful.

Shi Kui remained unmoved and said indifferently, “Cunning loach!”

The corners of Wang Shenxu’s mouth twitched. “Big turtle, don’t be arrogant. Do you believe that I will cut you?”

However, Shi Kui only shot him a glance before charging over again.

“What? Again? I will cut off your turtle head!”

Wang Shenxu condensed the power of the void and transformed it into a dazzling Void Blade.

The Void Blade spun rapidly, flashing with terrifying divine might!

He raised the Void Blade and threw it at Shi Kui. Its aura was extremely biting cold, enough to split rocks and break gold.

Shi Kui said in a low voice, “Immovable Deity Xuanwu Armor!”

An enormous black turtle phantom tore through the void. A curtain of light immediately enveloped Shi Kui!

Golden spears clashed, and sparks could be seen flying everywhere!

The Void Blade struck the barrier of light, but it was unable to even break through its defenses.

Wang Shenxu’s mouth twitched crazily. “No way!”

“Does this fellow’s turtle shell have to be so hard!?”

Wang Shenxu was dumbfounded. If even the power of the void could not break through Shi Kui’s defense, then what was the point of continuing the fight!?

Shi Kui’s attacks were unending. The profound light within his body was resplendent as it condensed into a gigantic black turtle that charged toward Wang Shenxu.

The giant black turtle crashed down like a meteor, shattering the endless void. Its power was terrifying to the extreme!

“Sh*t!”

Wang Shenxu could feel the terror of Shi Kui’s attack and hurriedly escaped into the void to avoid the attack!

For a moment, he was forced to keep escaping on the void platform, jumping up and down.

…

The Eastern Wilderness geniuses speechlessly looked at Wang Shenxu, their forehead filled with black lines.

The previous Great Void Saints covered their faces as they could not bear to look.

How embarrassing!

The other Saints were suppressing the Middle Ground prodigies!

Only the Saint from my own family is being suppressed and beaten!

Junior Brother, you must be joking!
