Everyone in the audience now knew Xiao Tian's cultivation level. However, instead of being impressed, many frowned."I thought Tian had a higher realm. Turns out he's only at the fifth rank," some of them murmured.That realm didn’t meet their expectations. All this time, Xiao Tian had easily won his battles, even against opponents at the sixth rank, who couldn't do much against him. This left many people wondering how someone with a lower realm could defeat opponents who should have been stronger."Being able to defeat someone of a higher realm means Tian has strength that defies the heavens. But to defeat Luyanzhi? That seems very difficult. Even Ershita'er, who has a special ice body, was defeated by him. Let alone Tian," someone in the audience whispered, reflecting their doubts about Xiao Tian's chances in this final.The audience's conversations halted when She Xongjan's voice echoed throughout the arena."Now, the match enters the final round. This is truly a great surprise for
Like a ghost, Xiao Tian suddenly appeared behind Luyanzhi and delivered a punch to his back."So fast!" Luyanzhi didn?t expect Xiao Tian to move faster than him; he couldn?t even sense Xiao Tian?s presence until he was already standing behind him.The attack sent Luyanzhi flying several meters away. Intense pain coursed through his body as fresh blood spilled from his mouth."Scoundrel! How dare you hurt me?" Luyanzhi shouted furiously. He quickly formed a hand seal and leaped, executing a deadly move. "TIGER CLAWS!"Two massive tiger claw shadows materialized in the air and charged toward Xiao Tian with immense force.Xiao Tian immediately drew his sword entirely and unleashed an extraordinary sword technique. "WIND SWORD DANCE!"Sharp wind blades sliced through the tiger claws with ease.Boom?Boom?Explosions echoed repeatedly as their powers clashed. The battle grew more intense as kicks and punches were exchanged with full strength. Each attack created booming sounds and vibratio
Xiao Tian did not stop after releasing the energy slash from his sword. With unwavering determination, he advanced to attack Luyanzhi directly."Boy, you're courting death!" Luyanzhi roared, swinging his whip fiercely. The sound of the whip slicing through the air sent shivers across the arena.Seeing the venomous whip hurtling toward him, Xiao Tian slashed his sword without hesitation.Slash?However, Luyanzhi's whip quickly coiled around Xiao Tian's sword. "Boy, let me remind you, the venom in my whip doesn't just destroy human bodies. My poison can corrode any artifact!" Luyanzhi shouted confidently.In an instant, Luyanzhi's confidence shattered. His eyes widened, and his mouth gaped in disbelief. The deadly poison from his whip was entirely absorbed by Xiao Tian's mysterious rusty sword.Bang?The whip snapped, mercilessly cut by the seemingly powerless rusty sword, which proved capable of destroying high-grade artifacts."Luyanzhi, you fight with poison. Are you aware of the con
Xiao Tian felt awkward when a woman asked him a question. Even so, he forced himself to smile. ?Thank you,? he replied briefly. Daniel, who was standing behind Xiao Tian, could only shake his head. If anyone else were approached by Shouxue, they would be overjoyed. After all, Shouxue, Yi Min, and Ershita'er were acknowledged as the three most beautiful women in the She Dynasty. Shouxue, known for her warmth, was not as cold as Yi Min and Ershita'er. With her stunning smile, she asked again, ?Brother Tian, I still find it hard to believe that you?re only 10 years old. Can you be honest about your age?? Her smile was so enchanting that it could melt anyone?s heart. ?Senior Shouxue, I really am just 10 years old,? Xiao Tian replied in a low tone. Not wanting to linger in this situation, Xiao Tian looked for an excuse. ?We should hurry so as not to keep Emperor She waiting.? But Shouxue didn?t give up. ?Since we have the same destination, let?s walk together,? she said. She con
Seeing eight Earth King warriors rushing toward him, Xiao Tian began performing his dazzling sword dance. ?Dance of a Hundred Swords!?This time, he unleashed the full power of the technique. In the previous competition, Xiao Tian had deliberately held back, as this technique was one of the core skills of the Boundless Valley.The leader of the opposing group was wide-eyed in disbelief. ?How is it possible for you to master the sword techniques of the Boundless Valley? And your skill surpasses even their own members!?What shocked him further was that the Dance of a Hundred Swords, which typically produced only a few clones, now truly created a hundred clones. These weren?t mere illusions; they appeared entirely real.Slash?The clones of Xiao Tian attacked immediately. Their movements were not only powerful but also lethally precise. Some slashed, while others struck their targets with pinpoint accuracy.Whoosh?Bang?Xiao Tian?s sword energy targeted the heart of the group?s leader.
Seeing a Semi-Martial Emperor had helped him, Liu Qingyun immediately bowed respectfully and expressed his gratitude. ?Senior, thank you for your assistance.?Liu Qingyun did not recognize the man standing before him. His appearance was that of an ordinary person, with no distinctive features to be noted from his plain clothing.?There?s no need to thank me; this is my duty,? the man replied in a calm voice. ?Now, I will escort you back to the Supreme Sword Sect. Not only will I take you there, but I will also stay temporarily to ensure the safety of everyone.?After explaining his intentions, the man introduced himself. His name was She Comping, a figure sent directly by Emperor She to protect the Supreme Sword Sect. Of course, this protection was not solely for the sect itself but because of the presence of Xiao Tian, who was considered immensely valuable.---After a long journey, the Eighth Prince finally arrived at their destination: a massive, mysterious forest. The forest was s
The spirit of the mysterious sword artifact grew increasingly excited as it delved deeper into an area filled with evil spirits. The further it ventured, the more powerful the evil spirits it encountered became. In the deepest part of the region, not only black tigers roamed, but a variety of terrifying beasts with monstrous forms and immense strength also appeared. Yet, all these creatures shared one common trait: they were formed entirely from evil spirits.Among them were beings with power equivalent to peak Earth King warriors and even some comparable to Sky King warriors of levels one through five. However, the most horrifying presence was an evil spirit with power nearly reaching half the strength of a level-nine Martial Emperor—far surpassing even Emperor She himself.“Hahaha! No matter how strong you are, as long as you’re created from evil spirits, you’re nothing more than food for me!” The spirit of the mysterious sword artifact laughed gleefully, brimming with confidence. “
The Eighth Prince rose with a face full of anxiety. With all his strength, he launched attack after attack on the golden door, hoping to destroy it and save Xiao Tian. Yet the golden door remained steadfast, unmoving, as if impervious to any assault.The Ninth Prince, She Zinshin, did not stay idle. He immediately joined his brother, channeling all his energy to break down the door that imprisoned Xiao Tian. However, their efforts were futile. The golden door was too strong, like an unbreakable wall resistant to their might.Buzz—After a barrage of relentless attacks, the golden door didn’t open. Instead, it vanished from their sight. The cave returned to its original state, as if the door had never been there. Both of them stood frozen, bewildered and despairing.“Where did the door go?” the Eighth Prince asked, his voice filled with unease. His face turned pale, overwhelmed by deepening worry.“Brother, it’s better if we return and ask Father for help. This isn’t something we can h
"Damn, how could a mere Martial King push me back!" the man muttered angrily, quickly forming hand seals. "BOTTOMLESS HOLE!" he shouted in a booming voice.Suddenly, hundreds of meters in size, a massive skull head appeared in the air. The skull slowly opened its mouth.Buzz—From within the skull's mouth, a huge green vortex formed, instantly spreading a powerful sucking force in all directions.Buzz—Buzz—Thousands of swords from the Elders of the Supreme Sword Sect were helplessly sucked into the terrifying vortex. Their swords and even the roofs of buildings, rocks, and trees around them were drawn into the massive skull's mouth like mere specks in the face of this irresistible force."Devour everything!" cried the high-ranking member of the Skull Organization, followed by a burst of energy growing stronger from his body. His voice echoed as if commanding destruction.The sucking force of the skull grew more terrifying, unstoppable. The martial artists at the scene felt immense p
"Hmph, another arrogant kid who doesn't know his place! Finish them off quickly; show them the true power of the Skull Organization!" the Rank 5 Martial King snapped angrily.Without a word, Ling Faizhe and Daniel moved in unison. Both knew there was no room for error. Their combined attack began as they unleashed incredible battle auras. Ling Faizhe swung his sword, enveloped in fire, while Daniel moved with astounding speed, his sword surrounded by lightning. The bravery and strength of their attacks created immense pressure on their opponents.Ling Faizhe launched a massive, fiery slash toward the four Rank 4 Martial Kings. Though they tried to dodge, the attack was too fast and powerful. In an instant, they were knocked back, their bodies burned and severely wounded by the intense wave of fiery energy.Meanwhile, Daniel wasted no time. He quickly formed hand seals, releasing wind attributes that enhanced Ling Faizhe's fire. The fire, strengthened by the wind, grew more ferocious,
The alliance of white and neutral cultivators had come together with one goal: to eliminate the black-clad cultivators who were attacking and slaughtering the citizens of Golden Dragon City. Shouxue, a widely known cultivator, led the younger generation in the alliance. Although Daniel possessed greater power, he didn't mind. To him, the title of leader was just an empty title. In the world of cultivation, strength determined everything, not status.As they moved through the city, a horrifying scene unfolded before them—black-clad cultivators were mercilessly slaughtering innocent civilians. Blood flowed through the streets, and the cries of helpless victims filled the air.Seeing this cruelty, Daniel's instinct to act immediately arose. He was about to step forward to stop the slaughter, but his movement was halted by Shouxue’s quick hand."Daniel, don't be rash!" Shouxue said sternly. "Though only Sky King-level cultivators, they are being watched by a Martial King of rank four abov
Fa Wa called upon several Elders from the Supreme Sword Sect who had reached the peak of the Martial King realm. With a serious expression, he ordered, “You will lead a group of talented disciples to assist the Golden Dragon Sacred Hall. However, remember that your and the disciples' safety is the top priority. Make sure you protect each other.”Before Fa Wa could finish speaking, Daniel arrived at his residence. Initially, Daniel intended to ask permission to visit the Yuntai Kingdom. Still, as soon as he heard that the Golden Dragon Sacred Hall had been attacked and that the Supreme Sword Sect was sending reinforcements, he immediately changed his mind.“Patriarch, I will join this mission,” Daniel said firmly.Upon hearing Daniel’s voice, the Elders immediately turned to look at him. When they sensed his aura, almost all of them were surprised. Daniel had now reached the fifth rank of the Martial King realm, an incredible improvement in such a short amount of time.“Daniel, your re
Xiao Tian appeared in the depths of a forest, surrounded by lush trees and the tranquil sounds of nature. He walked toward a hidden cave nestled among the bushes. “At least here, no beasts will come to devour the body,” he muttered resolutely. After those words left his lips, the fiery and electric aura surrounding his body gradually dissipated. Exhaustion overcame him, and in an instant, Xiao Tian fell into a deep sleep.Deep within his soul lay a secret place known as the dantian—a mystical space reserved for those with a unique bloodline. Within it resided a colossal beast enveloped in fire and lightning, its eyes sharp and haughty as they observed Xiao Tian.“Boy,” it growled, its deep voice echoing, “you’re fortunate the seal placed by your father still protects your body. You would’ve been reduced to ashes without it when you tried to draw on my power forcibly. I never expected your father to manage such a feat, allowing you to harness divine strength without the deity’s permi
"Great Elder, please forgive me," General Wang said in a trembling voice, filled with fear. "I never expected him to possess the realm of a mid-tier Martial Emperor, and his power defies the heavens. If we let him live, he will undoubtedly become a massive threat to us all. Please, kill him!"Hearing General Wang’s panicked explanation, the Great Elder’s initial anger subsided. Calmly, he took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to General Wang. "Don’t worry, I won’t let a potential danger like him live."Without hesitation, one of the men in black robes vanished from sight. When he reappeared, he was already standing before Xiao Tian. "So fast!" Xiao Tian thought, startled. Fortunately, he had the Heavenly Eyes, which allowed him to track the black-robed man’s swift movements. Otherwise, he would have been caught off guard by the sudden attack."Die!" the black-robed man shouted, swinging his hand with lethal intent. However, before the attack could land, Xiao Tian activated a t
General Wang looked at Xiao Tian with a scornful gaze. Despite Xiao Tian's brave demeanor, General Wang didn’t consider him a serious threat. How could he underestimate himself? He was a Half-Martial Emperor at the fourth rank, a power that justified his arrogance and confidence."You don’t need to know how I survived after falling into the Wang River," Xiao Tian said, his voice trembling with years of suppressed anger. "All you need to know is that today will be the day of your death!"Xiao Tian’s rage could no longer be contained. General Wang was responsible for his mother’s death—a tragedy that haunted him every second of his life, day and night..General Wang shook his head, laughing mockingly, clearly dismissing the threat. "Capture him! His Majesty will be pleased if we present his corpse as a gift!" he commanded arrogantly.In an instant, thousands of royal soldiers surrounded Xiao Tian from all sides. However, to Xiao Tian, they were nothing more than minor obstacles. His eye
Wang Zhen shook his head heavily. “Young Master, I do not mean to forbid you from avenging your parents. However, now is not the right time. The power structure of the Wang Kingdom has drastically changed. In the past, reaching the Martial King realm was considered extraordinarily difficult, but now, even the Half-Martial Emperor realm seems easy to attain. Perhaps this is why many of your father’s loyal subordinates ultimately betrayed him—what cultivator doesn’t desire greater power?”Xiao Tian acknowledged the truth in his uncle’s words. Even though the Wang Kingdom was once one of the leading powers in the Ming Dynasty, it had been filled only with Martial Kings in its prime. His grandfather was the only person who had ever reached the Half-Martial Emperor realm. Unfortunately, his grandfather had long passed away. Xiao Jian, who had the potential to become a Half-Martial Emperor, had fallen at the hands of Wang Chong. Yet now, Half-Martial Emperors appeared as abundantly as Chine
The ancestral land of the Misty Cloud Sect was truly as beautiful as its name. It was located at the peak of a floating mountain, surrounded by thick clouds that seemed like natural decorations gently enveloping it. The clouds not only added to the beauty of the scenery but also created a magical atmosphere as if the mountain were suspended between different dimensions. Every time someone set foot in this land, they were instantly captivated by the spectacular view before them and the overwhelming spiritual energy in the air. The energy felt refreshing, like a gentle breeze that uplifted the spirit and calmed the soul. This ancestral land was a majestic and mysterious place. Surrounding it were spiritual creatures flying gracefully in the sky, each radiating an ancient aura and immense power. These were no ordinary beings, but the loyal guardians of the sect who had existed for thousands of years. Every movement they made was graceful, yet signified unimaginable strength. They were
