"Just you?"

"You’ve lost to me twice, even after obtaining immortal fate. The gap between us will only get wider!"

Xiao Ming sneered with disdain.

He had every right to be so confident!

His body merged with the Five Elements Spirit God, and he’d defeated Xu Yang twice without even using his full strength—his foundation was deep and unshakable!

Now, after obtaining immortal fate, everyone got the same, but he would only get stronger!

"Hmph!"

Xu Yang’s gaze was steadfast, his power surging at full blast. The Asura Blood Saber danced a monstrous bloody shadow, spirit marks illuminating several streaks, sealing off everywhere he passed.

First place in the trial—he would never give up until the very end!

Otherwise, the gap with Xiao Ming would only widen!

"Also, both of us got immortal fate, but it’s not the same. Your immortal fate can’t compare to mine!"

Xu Yang sneered coldly.

Everyone who cleared the trial got the same immortal fate here!

But his immortal fate had all been transformed into an even higher grade, the Immortal Dao’s Purest Essence Qi!

"Kill!"

BOOM!

A hundred-zhang saber light exploded, wrapped in terrifying chaos and world-shattering intent, sweeping across the field.

One after another, second-class Divine Weapon Sword Immortals were ripped apart like dead branches crushed under a log.

Only a few managed to withstand the assault.

The shocking speed of slaughter left the crowd at the back utterly stupefied.

"He actually improved this much?"

"Dozens of Sword Immortals fell in an instant—damn, with the same immortal fate, how can he be so powerful?"

"His spirit marks—his spirit marks are nine feet to the extreme, and the intent within is unfathomable!"

...

"Men Long, you little whore, still trying to stop Xu Yang? If you’ve got the guts, come spar with me." Shi Hu charged out, grinning at Men Long with a mocking glare.

Little whore?

Men Long’s delicate body trembled, unable to believe Shi Hu dared to provoke her, or even curse her. Her nose nearly smoked in anger, pretty face twisted in fury.

"Shi Hu, you think you’re worthy to fight with me?"

"What, don’t even dare to try?"

Shi Hu snorted with disdain and directly rushed to the front of the Cloud Dream Soul Sect powerhouses, bursting into the midst of the Sword Immortals in a frenzy.

BOOM!

Both fists struck out like giant millstones, his fighting spirit soared to the heavens—wild and brutal!

The terrifying force left everyone in shock and awe!

"Is that Shi Hu?"

"Hiss! Did that bastard take some pills? How can he be so scary?"

"His improvement is downright insane."

"One, two, three, four... twelve just fell."

...

In just a few short breaths, Shi Hu, in an overwhelming display, beheaded twelve second-class Sword Immortals!

The sight sent chills down Men Long’s scalp and left her dazed!

How could this be?

With this kind of power—even if she was unwilling to admit it, she had to realize she might not be Shi Hu’s match anymore.

"I’m coming for you, little whore!"

Shi Hu turned, hooking his finger in open provocation.

"You—you’re asking for death!"

Men Long was furious to the point of madness.

The Cloud Dream Soul Sect experts’ faces turned ashen.

This was a slap to the face of Cloud Dream Soul Sect, no question.

But with so few sect Martial Artists left, and Daqian, Dongyang Profound Sect glaring around from the sides—especially with the war king’s clan still numerous—they could only grit their teeth and swallow the humiliation for now!

On the other side.

Seeing Xu Yang’s killing speed, Xiao Ming was also greatly shocked.

At that, he stopped holding back.

BOOM!

"Divine Image Seven-Star Sword Array!"

He directly unleashed the divine techniques contained within his Five Elements Spirit God.

The Five Elements gave birth to myriad forms, the seven stars formed swords, covering a thousand-zhang range.

Countless five-colored sword lights blanketed the sky and earth, slashing down madly.

One Sword Immortal after another from the Sword Sect was torn apart.

No matter how strong, they could block one, two, three strikes, but they couldn’t withstand the terror of dozens, or even hundreds of attacks.

And it wasn’t over—Xiao Ming took a step skyward, arriving over the vast sword array.

"Ultimate Divine Weapon!"

Swoosh!

Five colors twined around his hand, surging rapidly, then instantly formed into a mysterious five-colored jade ruler.

"Five-Colored Celestial Rainbow!"

Xiao Ming raised his five-colored jade ruler and brought it down with a single press.

Hundred-zhang ruler light swept out in a frenzy, unleashing apocalyptic power—vast and unstoppable, cleaving a giant rift through the Desolate Heaven Sword Sect.

Countless towers, halls, pavilions, forests all collapsed in ruins!

Dozens of Sword Immortals shrieked and perished!

"So this is Xiao Ming’s true strength?"

"Hiss!"

"His power is probably already equal to the Shenxiao Realm!"

"Terrifying."

"A single move slaughters dozens of Sword Immortals—that’s simply beyond the second-class Divine Weapon level!"

"No wonder it’s Xiao Ming. He’s received immortal fate, trodden the path of immortality, and with such terrifying accumulation, his potential is even greater than many top Shenxiao Realm experts!"

"How can Xu Yang even begin to compare to Xiao Ming? He’s doomed!"

...

The onlookers were utterly stunned, scalp tingling!

Even the Shenxiao Realm masters clicked their tongues in awe!

That scene made Xu Yang’s heart pound in alarm.

Still, he had always expected Xiao Ming to be strong.

"Then let’s see who’s better."

Xu Yang showed no fear, leaping straight into the thickest cluster of Sword Sect disciples.

There were at least several hundred.

"Is he trying to die?"

"Hundreds of Sword Immortals—more than Xiao Ming slayed—who does he think he is?" Chen Xuanji taunted coldly, sneering all the while.

If you want to show off, at least know your limits.

"Shi Hu, keep your eyes wide open and watch how Xu Yang brings about his own death." Men Long cackled with a sharp, sinister laugh.

Shi Hu frowned, concern showing in his eyes.

Facing hundreds of Sword Immortals head-on—had Xu Yang gone mad?

But of course Xu Yang wasn’t crazy!

Closing in, Xu Yang let out a cold, cutting smile.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!

The Sword Immortals drew their blades, erupting in every direction.

Heaven and earth were swallowed by sword light, murderous intent stretching for ten thousand feet, as if to pierce the sky itself.

Xu Yang charged in headlong.

Splash!

A tidal torrent burst out from him, surging like the oceans, rolling and sweeping all before it.

The ancient Evil Qi was endless—upon its appearance, it shredded the whole sky full of Sword Intent like rotten wood, shaking the entire area.

RUMBLE!

Wherever the Evil Qi passed, hundreds of Sword Immortals were struck as though by thunder.

Xu Yang’s body shook, teeth gritted tight, enduring the impact of the Evil Qi with all his might.

Meanwhile, dozens of Life Fire Elixirs burst forth.

"Explode!"

BOOM!

Apocalyptic storms swallowed up mountains and ancient peaks—the terrifying might driving even the Shenxiao Realm masters back in terror.

Compared to Xiao Ming, it was less ethereal and sanctified, but far more savage and wild.

CRACK!

An Immortal Sword was smashed to pieces!

Towering waves, Evil Qi shaking the heavens!

Even Xiao Ming was dumbfounded.

Until the waves finally faded.

The ground was strewn with corpses, fragments dissolving inch by inch.

Only one man stood tall.

Though his body trembled, the murderous energy bursting skyward made everyone suffocate in dread—dead silent!

Xu Yang mustered up his flesh, channeling vitality.

He looked up at Xiao Ming with a broad grin: "Xiao Ming, who’s faster? I won’t be a second slower than you!"

As soon as his words fell, his figure flickered, slicing toward the back ranks of Sword Immortal elites.

The Tripod of Heaven and Earth was shaken once more.

Meanwhile, his spirit mark appeared, swelling in the wind, covering several hundred-zhang around him.

Within it, countless chains hovered, radiating an unprecedented sealing intent!

"Seal!"

Xu Yang strode forward, not looking back even once.

Wherever he went, all shuddered, as if frozen solid!

The blade’s edge was fierce, swift as lightning!

One strike for every foe—like chopping melons and slicing vegetables!

So fast it made everyone’s scalp crawl, as if seeing a ghost.

The Sword Immortals were like they were tied up, unable to resist, frozen out of thin air, letting Xu Yang butcher them at will!

For a moment, no one dared to move.

Shi Hu, Zuo Guangchen, Ning Wuyang, Yie Vajra... all were speechless!

Xiao Ming’s whole body trembled, eyes wide near to tearing—finally feeling the immense threat!

"I absolutely won’t let you take first place!"
