The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood-Chapter 1079 - 1080: Wuqing Sword

"Everyone."

Suddenly, a voice resounded: "Congratulations on successfully entering the second round of the tournament. The Lingwu Genius Battle is a grand event held once every ten years on the Lingwu Continent, co-hosted by our Seven Great Super-First-Rate Powers, aiming to discover geniuses and nurture more pinnacle experts."

"It’s Zi Kui’s voice."

Ye Mo glanced up and saw Zi Kui standing on the high stage, representing the seven families in his speech.

His presence conveyed a sense of dominance, suppressing all, with the aura of Dragon Walks, Tiger Strides, making people feel his strength.

As a Clan Leader of the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan and one of the heads of super first-rate powers, he naturally wanted everyone to recognize his might.

All the participants dared not speak.

They all knew that the speaker was a Divine Venerate Realm expert, and a significantly young one at that.

Subsequently, Zi Kui reiterated the tenets of the tournament and the rewards for the top ten in the Lingwu Genius Battle.

Meanwhile, Ye Mo was observing the experts arriving from all directions. Indeed, it was filled with powerhouses; countless experts were hidden amidst them. Although his realm was Undeniable Mountain Ninth Turn, there were at least fifty thousand experts in the Wheel of Reincarnation Realm.

Ye Mo could even see that there were Wheel of Reincarnation Fourth Transformation experts among them, at least five such individuals.

"The second round of the tournament lasts for three days. After each challenge, the arena master can choose to rest for the time it takes an incense to burn. Now, let the battle begin!"

Upon the command, the entire valley erupted into activity. All the geniuses began to disperse, choosing suitable arenas for their challenges.

Ye Mo and Xiao Yue naturally chose to head to the 100th level arena.

Previously, the aspiring geniuses were too mixed, and finding someone amidst the crowd was extremely difficult. Now, with ten thousand competitors distributed, experts in the Wheel of Reincarnation Realm generally opted for arenas above level 60.

On the high platform, Ang Tianxiao immediately spotted Ye Mo, wearing the Solitary Darkness Cloak, and Xiao Yue with her veiled face. His brows furrowed slightly; although Qin Ya had praised Ye Mo’s abilities to the skies, his true strength remained to be seen from his performance.

Immediately, ten talented young men, all possessing the strength of the Second Transformation of Wheel of Reincarnation, eagerly leapt onto the 100th level arena to become the arena masters.

Ye Mo immediately locked onto an arena, intending to ascend. Sooner or later, he must compete, so he might as well directly enter, suppressing all with absolutely invincible strength, instilling fear so intense that no one would dare challenge him.

Swoosh!

At this moment, a sharp Sword Qi soared through the sky, suddenly slicing towards one of the arena’s experts. With the descent of that Sword Qi, a tall figure appeared on the arena.

Boom!

The genius defending the arena changed face, immediately executing a martial technique to block the Sword Qi, yet was still forced back several steps by it, nearly falling off the arena.

He glanced upward and saw a young man appear on the stage, holding a longsword with a blade incredibly sharp, moving effortlessly to carve through space. Just a glance at the weapon made his throat feel a sense of suffocation.

Ye Mo looked at that longsword, immediately sensing a sharp aura emanating from it. The sharpness of this weapon was undoubtedly comparable to the Blood Origin Devil Saber, making it an ancient immortal artifact as well.

Additionally, this young man’s strength had reached the Third Transformation of Wheel of Reincarnation.

"Wuqing Sword!"

Immediately, someone recognized the sword and exclaimed.

Numerous onlookers, including genius martial artists, gathered around, observing the Successor of the Wuqing Sword; even geniuses from the Seven Great Super-First-Rate Powers cast their gaze upon this arena.

"It’s actually the Wuqing Sword. Wasn’t this the weapon of Wuqing Young Master back in the day? Legend has it that long ago, Wuqing Young Master retired from the continent, and his swordsmanship was exceptionally profound. Now his successor has appeared."

Xuan Lei, a genius from the Dominant Armor Xuanwu Clan, said in surprise.

Speaking of Wuqing Young Master, he was awe-inspiring back then, wielding the Wuqing Sword and defeating countless experts.

"Perhaps this Successor of the Wuqing Sword is also a top candidate for the top ten."

Bing Yu Han from the Deathless Ice Phoenix Clan said lightly.

"It’s truly an era brimming with talent. Although the geniuses from large families are very formidable, an exceptional successor fostered by an expert hermit is also formidable."

Ye Mo looked at the Successor of the Wuqing Sword, secretly astonished. He initially thought the top ten spots would surely be filled by geniuses from super-first-rate and first-rate powers. But seeing this successor, he was ready to rethink his assumption.

Just this Successor of the Wuqing Sword, with the strength of the Third Transformation of Wheel of Reincarnation, Ye Mo could speculate that his abilities had likely surpassed the majority of Fourth Transformation talents.

Even without any moves, standing on the arena, he was like a longsword himself, especially with his Heart Force able to combine with Sword Qi. A single strike with Heart Force Attack was a cut without mercy, where earth and heaven have no heart.

"Successor of the Wuqing Sword, Jian Wuxin!"

Jian Wuxin calmly said, "You are not my match, it’s better for you to step down voluntarily."

Jian Wuxin’s tone was very calm, yet it imparted great pressure to his opponent. Nevertheless, anyone daring to participate in the Lingwu Genius Battle and choosing the 100th level arena was not someone Jian Wuxin could dismiss with mere words.

"Want me to surrender? Show your strength then."

The genius shouted, drawing forth a fiery-red longsword. Instantly, flames rolled up, transforming into a flaming ruler slicing toward Jian Wuxin.

The surrounding geniuses were slightly shocked upon witnessing this; such an attack would be impossible for them to withstand.

"Overestimating your strength!"

The Successor of Wuqing Sword, Jian Wuxin, wore a cold smile. His body moved, and suddenly, a silent, merciless, heartless strike approached that genius’s neck.

Puff!

The sword hit perfectly without slashing the opponent fatally, causing him to instantly lose the ability to fight.

With just one strike, a Second Transformation genius was defeated.

Immediately, it drew a wave of gasps; some geniuses who initially intended to make a move abandoned the idea.

"Successor of Wuqing Sword, I am the first genius of the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Demon King. Today, I will challenge you."

Boom!

A massive figure promptly descended onto the arena. As his feet touched the stage, the entire platform shook violently.

This giant was a meter tall, with gray skin, cracked eyes revealing two large savage tusks. His body seemed like steel and iron, akin to a fierce beast in battle.

"Actually, he is the Heavenly Demon Clan’s top genius. The Heavenly Demon Clan is a top first-rate power on the continent. It’s said this Demon King’s strength reached the Third Transformation of Wheel of Reincarnation, and the Heavenly Demon Clan has a skill called Heavenly Demon Transformation, very formidable. I doubt the Successor of the Wuqing Sword can beat this Demon King."

The appearance of the Demon King caused quite a stir.

"Demon King?"

Jian Wuxin sneered, unleashing another sword strike. In an instant, it was at his opponent’s back, slashing down with a burst of blood light.

"Never heard of!"

Three words dropped.

However, Jian Wuxin didn’t cut the Demon King’s neck, instead just slicing his arm. The Demon King’s large hand directly grasped the blade, which hummed with trembling. Remarkably, it couldn’t be drawn from the Demon King’s grip.
