Peerless Dragon Sovereign-Chapter 588: Six Undying Bones

Zhuge Yun was defeated, and Bu Qingfeng revealed his Seventh Heaven Cultivation, instantly shocking the entire arena.

All the competitors, except for Chu Nan, showed expressions of despair. Facing Bu Qingfeng, who was at the Seventh Heaven Realm, who among them could possibly contend with him?

Perhaps only the Nine Hall Masters could stand a chance of opposing him?

"The position of the Ninth Temple Master will surely be mine!" Bu Qingfeng left these words and walked off the stage.

Lan Zhanhan watched KuoHun with a complacent expression, Zhuge Yun had already been defeated, and although Zhao Shibang had some prowess, he was still at the Sixth Heaven and was definitely not Bu Qingfeng's match.

Even though only one bout had taken place, in everyone's eyes, the competition for the Ninth Temple Master had already concluded.

The future Ninth Temple Master was bound to be Bu Qingfeng!

KuoHun remained silent and did not leave.

Leaving now would mean departing in failure like a defeated stray dog; it was better to stay and watch, preserving a shred of dignity. For the strong, one must know how to pick battles wisely and concede gracefully.

At the moment of Zhuge Yun's defeat, KuoHun gave up on controlling the Ninth Temple Master and shifted his focus to the future opponent, Bu Qingfeng.

As for Zhao Shibang?

Like Lan Zhanhan, KuoHun was not optimistic, although he had a lingering feeling that there was something strange about Zhao Shibang's current state.

Soon, the second match began with two elders in the Fifth Heaven Realm. Although their battle was extremely spectacular, it was still far less remarkable compared to the battle between Bu Qingfeng and Zhuge Yun.

Not long after, the battle's outcome was decided, leading to the commencement of the third duel.

Chu Nan slowly rose, immediately drawing the attention of everyone, because before Bu Qingfeng's emergence, Zhao Shibang was the strongest contender for the position of the Ninth Temple Master.

By rule, Zhao Shibang should have been the Ninth Temple Master.

But a few Hall Masters disagreed, so the position of the Ninth Temple Master had to be contested through combat.

Chu Nan's opponent was an elder of the Fifth Heaven Peak Realm, who practiced Thunder Dao with considerable prowess.

Still, compared to the previous Zhao Shibang, this opponent was far inferior.

Nevertheless, the elder said confidently, 'Zhao Shibang, although you have a Sixth Heaven Cultivation, your path is the Corpse Dao, and your body is eroded by Yin Evil Qi, which likely compromises your power.'

"Heh heh heh, even though I'm only at the Fifth Heaven Peak, that doesn't mean I have no chance."

Chu Nan knew what the opponent said was reasonable, yet he merely gave a slight smile and, with a hoarse voice, said, "I am determined to be the Ninth Temple Master, you have no chance."

With a wave of his hand, six figures materialized around him.

In an instant, Yin Evil Qi enveloped the entire arena, making the air over a few miles radius significantly colder.

"These Spirit Corpses are..."

"Undying Bones at the Fifth Heaven Realm!"

"Six Undying Bones at the Fifth Heaven Realm, how did Zhao Shibang manage to refine them?"

"It's terrifying to think about what Zhao Shibang must have sacrificed to compete for the Ninth Temple Master."

...

In the stands, everyone was abuzz, expressing astonishment and disbelief at Chu Nan's release of six Undying Bones at the Fifth Heaven Realm.

Yet, Chu Nan's expression did not change; these were all Spirit Corpses he brought from the Corpse Dao Inheritance Space, each of them extremely formidable.

Although lacking intelligence, Chu Nan could defeat his present opponent with these six Spirit Corpses.

"Zhao Shibang, you have hidden your depth well!" Chu Nan's opponent chuckled wryly, and then the battle commenced.

This was yet another battle whose outcome had long been determined.

High in the sky, KuoHun slightly furrowed his brows. Zhao Shibang's revelation of six Fifth Heaven Spirit Corpses was indeed formidable, but he remembered that there were also three Blood Corpses constantly at Zhao Shibang's side.

The three Blood Corpses were extraordinary, all having the Cultivation of the Fifth Heaven Realm and highly valuable for its development, but KuoHun did not see them on the arena in the Spirit Corpse Sect.

"Where are those three Blood Corpses? Were they destroyed, or perhaps..." KuoHun had a vague feeling that Zhao Shibang might still be hiding a powerful trump card!

Lan Zhanhan seemed quite relaxed. To him, Zhao Shibang showing even ten Fifth Heaven Spirit Corpses posed no threat.

However many Spirit Corpses there were, could they possibly rival Bu Qingfeng of the Seventh Heaven?

The battle on the stage ended swiftly, with Chu Nan gaining victory over his opponent, advancing to the next round.

Among the six Martial Artists participating in the selection, only Chu Nan and two others remained.

After a brief rest, another round of drawing lots took place, and Bu Qingfeng got a bye, leaving Chu Nan to face another Fifth Heaven Martial Artist.

This opponent was even weaker than Chu Nan's previous adversary and was quickly thrown off the stage by the Spirit Corpse Legion under Chu Nan's control, determining the last contenders.

The Sixth Heaven Zhao Shibang and the Seventh Heaven Bu Qingfeng.

The former could command a vast number of Spirit Corpses, theoretically with no limit, while the latter was supremely formidable, with Seventh Heaven Cultivation suppressing the arena, rendering any depth of Cultivation futile.

"Zhao Shibang, I didn't expect to face you—a mere ant—in the final battle." Bu Qingfeng sneered, completely dismissing Chu Nan.

At the Seventh Heaven, he was justified in calling the Sixth Heaven Zhao Shibang an ant.

Chu Nan countered, saying, "I also never thought that someone like you could achieve Seventh Heaven. But no matter, the final result will not change: I will be the Ninth Temple Master!"

Bu Qingfeng laughed and shook his head, saying, "Zhao Shibang, you can't possibly defeat me with just a few Spirit Corpses."

"But you said something right: the final result will not change, but it is I, Bu Qingfeng, who will become the Ninth Temple Master."

With those words, Bu Qingfeng unhesitatingly unleashed a killing intent and charged towards Chu Nan.

The terrifying aura of the Seventh Heaven swirled, causing celestial upheaval, as if the world was ending.

Facing a Seventh Heaven powerhouse, Chu Nan remained calm, waving his hand to release the Fifth Heaven Undying Bones.

But this time, it wasn't six, but ten!

The ten Fifth Heaven Undying Bones let out piercing roars, clawing towards Bu Qingfeng savagely and fearlessly.

"Ten? Even if there were twenty Undying Bones, they couldn't take me down!" Bu Qingfeng laughed heartily, engaging in a string of Martial Skills.

The Undying Bones were beaten into retreat, fragmented remains covering the entire arena, with even the Yin Evil Qi in the Spirit Corpses dispersing outwards.

"Hahaha, Zhao Shibang managing to have ten Fifth Heaven Undying Bones is indeed impressive. Against Zhuge Yun, the outcome would have been uncertain."

"But it's unfortunate that he faced Bu Qingfeng of the Seventh Heaven. It's truly a pity for these Undying Bones~"

Lan Zhanhan shook his head with a look of regret but made no attempt to hide his inner satisfaction.

KuoHun remained silent, with a slightly furrowed brow; although Bu Qingfeng continually shattered the Undying Bones, tilting the battle one-sidedly, he sensed something was amiss.

"Zhao Shibang, all your Undying Bones have been slain by me. Let's see what other tricks you have!"
