In everyone’s eyes, Lin Xuan had to be out of his mind. How could he boast about defeating the Vajra Body in a single move? What a joke. They simply didn’t believe him.

Elder Vajra sneered, "Come on, kid. Let’s see how you defeat me." A golden light erupted from his body, making him resemble a majestic Ancient Divine Mountain.

Lin Xuan swung his longsword, slashing forward. The strike was incredibly powerful, carrying an unstoppable momentum as it cut fiercely through the air.

The Spirit Dragon’s Nine-Heaven Sword was a Divine Sword to begin with, and now that Lin Xuan was wielding it with his full power, its might was naturally earth-shattering. Elder Vajra had initially worn a look of disdain, as he had absolute confidence in his defense. However, when the sword slashed toward him, his expression changed instantly, and he lost all of his previous calm and composure.

He exclaimed in shock, "How is this possible?"

With a furious roar, he pushed the Vajra Body to its absolute limit. A dazzling golden light swirled around him. The sword struck his body.

BOOM!

A heaven-shaking roar echoed. The golden light of the Vajra Body flickered violently before shattering into countless fragments. Elder Vajra staggered backward nonstop, each step leaving a deep crater in the ground. He retreated more than ten steps before finally coming to a halt. His body was now covered in cracks, and fresh blood dripped from the fissures, dyeing the ground red.

The entire crowd was astonished. Everyone was dumbfounded.

The members of the Stone Race stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they were seeing. With a CLANG, the longsword fell from Fang Hai’s hand, but he didn’t even notice.

Fang Qingyu exclaimed excitedly, "He’s so strong! Young Master is incredible! I knew he wouldn’t lose."

With a THUD, Elder Vajra collapsed, landing on one knee with a twisted expression on his face.

How could this be? How did this happen? My Vajra Body... defeated! Shattered in a single strike!

He was completely and utterly dumbfounded.

Lin Xuan sheathed his longsword and said coldly, "One move was more than enough for you."

Everyone gasped, their eyes fixed on Lin Xuan in fear and shock. That was the Vajra Body, a Physique renowned for its invincible defense! Not a single five-star Grandmaster could shatter it. In their eyes, Elder Vajra was an invincible existence. Unless an expert who had surpassed the five-star Grandmaster realm took action, no one could harm him. But now...

This young man, a mere nine-star Martial General, had defeated the Vajra Body with a single sword strike! It was unbelievable! It was heaven-defying!

Who in the world was this kid? Could he be hiding his true cultivation? Was his true strength actually that of an expert who had surpassed the five-star Grandmaster realm?

"Impossible! I scanned him! He can’t be hiding his cultivation!" someone roared.

Then there was only one other explanation: the sword in his hand was a Divine Sword. The crowd went into a frenzy at the thought. A Divine Sword! A legendary existence! This kid actually possessed such a Treasure!

It was too incredible. No wonder he was so confident and had dismissed the Vajra Body so easily—he had a Divine Sword! Previously, they thought Lin Xuan was arrogant and out of his mind, but now it seemed they were the ones who had been blind. They had no idea just how strong he really was.

Elder Fang Hai gasped. A legendary Divine Sword! As an elder of the Fang family, he had only ever heard of Divine Swords; he had never seen one. To think that this kid, who was only seventeen or eighteen, already possessed one... It was truly heaven-defying!

Meanwhile, Elder Vajra came to his senses, both shocked and furious. He was a master of his generation, yet now he had been injured in public. This was a disgrace! A complete and utter humiliation! He would never let this go.

He struggled to his feet and commanded coldly, "Members of the Stone Race, hear my command! Attack together and capture this boy!"

"What? You still want to fight?" Lin Xuan snorted. "You truly are courting death." He drew his Divine Sword once again. The piercing Sword Qi that erupted from it was so intense it made everyone tremble.

The giants of the Stone Race had originally planned to use their superior numbers to overwhelm Lin Xuan. Now, however, they were trembling from his Sword Qi before the fight had even begun. They knew that even if they attacked together, they probably wouldn’t be able to stop him.

"Members of the Fang family, hear my command! Attack together and capture him!" Fang Hai roared, leading his family’s men to charge forward. The two great families were preparing to join forces against Lin Xuan.

Seeing this, Fang Qingyu’s heart pounded in her chest once again. Can he withstand it this time? Can he still rely on the Divine Sword to carve a path through them?

But Lin Xuan was unfazed. He glanced around and said coldly, "If you wish to die, then I will grant your wish." A chilling light gleamed in his eyes as the power within him erupted. The Divine Sword in his hand shone with a blinding light, looking as if it could cut through anything in the world.

Just as a great battle was about to begin, a deep, heavy voice echoed from within the Underground Palace.

"Stop," the voice commanded. "Let the boy enter."

Everyone was stunned. Fang Hai’s expression changed drastically. "Senior Earth Dragon, don’t worry! We can definitely stop him!"

Elder Vajra added, "Master, give me one more chance! I’m certain I can subdue him!"

"The Divine Sword in his hand is immensely powerful. You are no match for it," the Earth Dragon’s voice replied. "Let him in. I can handle him."

"But..." Fang Hai and Elder Vajra started to protest.

The Earth Dragon snorted coldly. "What? Are you questioning my strength?"

"We wouldn’t dare." Fang Hai and Elder Vajra lowered their heads, not daring to say another word. They had no choice but to clear a path.

Lin Xuan strode confidently toward the Underground Palace in front of him. It seemed he would soon obtain the Earth Dragon Pearl.

"Foolish boy, what are you so happy about? Do you really think you can obtain the Earth Dragon Pearl? Ridiculous," Elder Vajra sneered. "Our Master’s strength is beyond your imagination. No matter how strong you are, you’re no match for him."

Beside him, Fang Hai also scoffed, "Want the Earth Dragon Pearl? Maybe in your next life."

In their eyes, Lin Xuan was walking to his death because the power of the Earth Dragon Pearl within the palace was even greater. No matter how strong he was, he would be no match for it.

Without looking back, Lin Xuan said, "How could a swarm of ants like you possibly comprehend my true strength?"

This kid is too arrogant! Elder Vajra and Fang Hai gritted their teeth in fury, but their anger soon turned to sneers. Lin Xuan had already entered the Underground Palace. He was doomed. There was no way he was coming out of there alive. The two of them burst into loud laughter. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

A Grandmaster from the Fang family approached Fang Qingyu and said, "Fairy Qingyu, don’t worry. The matter is resolved. No matter how strong that boy is, there’s no way he’s coming out alive.

"He would only have a chance of fighting his way out if he were a Grandmaster.

"But even with a Divine Sword, he couldn’t possibly have the strength of a Grandmaster. He is bound to die."

What? How could this be? Fang Qingyu’s face turned pale once again. What exactly is inside the Underground Palace? Is it something even the Divine Sword can’t handle?

But Lin Xuan wasn’t concerned in the slightest. His trump cards were beyond anything these people could imagine. Even if there’s a King inside, they won’t be able to do anything to me.

With this mindset, Lin Xuan walked into the Underground Palace. The next moment, he cried out in surprise, "The Earth Dragon Pearl!"

Lin Xuan was overjoyed. He had finally found the Earth Dragon Pearl. He had to obtain the Dragon Pearl before him
