“Senior Brother has been defeated!”
“Han Jie actually possesses a Holy Artifact! If he had only used an Ultimate Treasure to spar with our Senior Brother, he would never have been his match!”
Disciples from the Zhengsheng Sect were indignant as they saw the Star Sword Daoist fall in defeat.
The skill of the Star Sword Daoist wasn’t necessarily inferior to that of Han Jie, but since Han Jie possessed a Holy Artifact, he ultimately used the Holy Artifact to defeat Han Jie and enter the final match.
The Star Sword Daoist returned to the Zhengsheng Sect’s seats and whispered to Qingyangzi, “Disciple was unable to win the victory, disappointing Master.”
Qingyangzi shook his head, “This child used the Ancient Han Family’s low-tier Holy Artifact ‘Qiankun Ruler’. Inside the Qiankun Ruler is a shattered small world that can suppress and harm people; it’s quite extraordinary even among low-tier Holy Artifacts. Your defeat at his hands is no disgrace.” Experience tales at empire
“With Han Jie having a Holy Artifact, it seems he is the likely winner of the Supreme Elders’ martial arts competition.”
“A half-step Daluo Golden Immortal with a Holy Artifact, the Ancient Han Family indeed has a profound foundation.”
“With this Holy Artifact, Han Jie’s combat power is close to that of the various Peak Masters.”
The numerous Elders and disciples of the Zhengsheng Sect were abuzz, all convinced that the first place in the Supreme Elder group was already decided.
The magic power of the Holy Artifact was too terrifying.
Daluo Golden Immortals fought over Sacred Artifacts that emerged from the Nine Nether Forbidden Lands, and Qingyue Fairy spent ninety thousand years creating a single Holy Artifact; some Daluo Golden Immortals didn’t even own one.
Yet Han Jie, a half-step Daluo Golden Immortal, had a Holy Artifact, which truly showed the terrifying result of the countless years of accumulated cultivation resources of an Ancient Cultivator Clan, something even the Zhengsheng Sect couldn’t compare with.
The Tai Hua Holy Maiden, however, was expressionless.
The Ancient Han Family was merely one Cultivator Clan and couldn’t compare with a Holy Land.
Holy Lands are a gathering place for countless unparalleled geniuses, far outnumbering a single family.
The magic weapon the Tai Hua Holy Maiden intended to refine was far more powerful than the Qiankun Ruler.
In the fourth round, the second match, Lu Changsheng from the Jingyun Peak, faced Tianjiu Daoist from the Jiuqu Peak.
The Tianjiu Daoist had made it into the top four of the Supreme Elders’ group, reaching the cusp of the Daluo Golden Immortal realm.
This time, Lu Changsheng didn’t just use the Absolute Immortal Sword, but instead drew the Immortal-Slaying Ancient Sword.
An Ultimate Treasure posed little threat to a half-step Daluo Golden Immortal.
The clear eyes of the Tai Hua Holy Maiden landed on Lu Changsheng, finally having the chance to clearly discern Lu Changsheng’s origins.
“Unity of Person and Sword, Heaven and Earth, Only I!”
Lu Changsheng channeled the Boundless Pure Dao and executed the Emperor Tier Swordsmanship he comprehended from the Divine King Sword Scripture Fragment.
In an instant, all the light within the Mustard Seed Fairy Pot Space was absorbed by the Immortal-Slaying Ancient Sword, leaving the world devoid of light, shrouded in darkness.
The Immortal-Slaying Ancient Sword emitted intense Sword Qi, forming a piercing column of dazzling light that seemed to be the only luminescence in the endless night.
“What level of Swordsmanship is this?”
“It has surpassed the Sacred Tier!”
The Elders and disciples of the Zhengsheng Sect were shaken once again.
Lu Changsheng had unexpectedly performed Emperor Tier Swordsmanship!
The Tai Hua Holy Maiden, Qingyangzi, Han Jie, the Star Sword Daoist, and all the Peak Masters of the Zhengsheng Sect, showed expressions of surprise.
If Lu Changsheng wasn’t from a Holy Land or a Prestigious Family, where could a half-step Daluo Golden Immortal obtain such Emperor Tier Swordsmanship?
The Tai Hua Holy Maiden couldn’t recognize the origin of this set of Swordsmanship and asked Qingyangzi, “Can you identify the origin of this Swordsmanship?”
Qingyangzi’s eyes flickered, “This set of Swordsmanship has limitless potential, enough to destroy heaven and eradicate the earth. What he performed seems to be only a fragment of incomplete Swordsmanship, otherwise its power would be even greater. Even so, it is already Emperor Tier Swordsmanship. I suspect he has obtained a fragment of a Sword Scripture from some forbidden land or Cave Heaven Blessed Land. Of course, it’s also possible that this is a fragment passed down from some Holy Land or an Ancient Family.”
With a million years of cultivation experience, Qingyangzi was wise and well-informed; his guess was very close to the truth.
“What exactly is this person’s background?”
Because Lu Changsheng used a long-lost fragment of the Sword Scripture, the Tai Hua Holy Maiden was still unable to guess Lu Changsheng’s origins.
Actually, Lu Changsheng really didn’t have any special background… The strongest individuals Lu Changsheng was on good terms with were only the two Daluo Golden Immortals, Qingyue Fairy and Daoist Yuxuan.
But in the eyes of the Tai Hua Holy Maiden, Lu Changsheng was extremely mysterious.
Once Lu Changsheng got serious, in less than an hour, Tianjiu Daoist from the Jiuqu Peak was defeated.
“Damn it, how can his cultivation speed be so fast?” Han Jie’s expression turned ugly, “But I have the Holy Artifact ‘Qiankun Ruler’; he cannot possibly be my match. I must find an opportunity to kill him later; I can’t let him continue to cultivate.”
The final match of the Supreme Elders’ group would be between Han Jie from the Azure Dragon Peak and Lu Changsheng from Jingyun Peak.
Lu Changsheng needed time to recover his True Qi and adjust to his best condition; the match would start the next day.
Daoist Yuxuan said, “That Han Jie fellow has a Holy Artifact, and if he intends to kill you, you could be reduced to ashes. If you truly cannot match him, you may admit defeat. Moreover, if you are in danger, I will intervene to stop the match.”
“Senior, please rest assured, I am confident of victory, you need not intervene.”
Lu Changsheng had witnessed Han Jie’s cultivation and magic treasure but was not concerned.
“In that case, you must be careful on your own.”
Daoist Yuxuan, not one for idle talk, trusted Lu Changsheng’s confidence and believed that he could handle Han Jie on his own.
“The final match, Daoist Changsheng from Jingyun Peak, against Elder Han from Azure Dragon Peak.”
Lu Changsheng and Han Jie, the two Supreme Elders who were meditating for rejuvenation, opened their eyes almost simultaneously.
This time it was truly a narrow road for enemies, as the showdown between the two was inevitable!
“You little brat, I finally can have my revenge.”
