“The two Holy Sons are going to spar?!”
The elders and disciples of Tai Hua Holy Land and Yaochi Holy Land were excited upon hearing that the two Holy Sons were going to compete.
The Holy Sons, pillars of the Holy Lands’ future and standout amongst the younger generation of disciples, basically represented the potential of their respective Holy Lands.
Whichever Holy Son from Tai Hua Holy Land or Yaochi Holy Land emerged victorious would demonstrate which Holy Land was stronger.
The crowd gathered at the Tai Hua Holy Land’s martial arts arena.
The arena had a peerless Great Formation that could prevent the surrounding mountains from being affected.
Lu Changsheng and Zhu Tianze faced each other, with invisible waves of energy colliding. They had yet to make a move, but were already measuring each other’s strength in secret.
Yaochi Holy Son Zhu Tianze’s expression changed slightly, “You’ve already broken through to the Quasi-Emperor realm?”
“Wasn’t he ranked thirty-ninth on the Qilin Ranking with the cultivation of a nine-layer Golden Immortal? How did he become a Quasi-Emperor so quickly?”
“It seems he was already at the peak of the nine-layer Golden Immortal Realm before, which is why he has the power to contend with a Quasi-Emperor. But he is definitely not a match for our Yaochi Holy Son; he just broke through to the Quasi-Emperor realm, but our Yaochi Holy Son is a true Immortal Emperor.”
People from Yaochi Holy Land had great confidence in their Holy Son.
Zhu Tianze had cultivated for over five hundred thousand years and had smoothly entered the first tier of the Immortal Emperor realm three thousand years ago.
The first tier of the Immortal Emperor realm is entirely different from the Quasi-Emperor realm.
“Although your talents are astonishing, it’s not the more monstrous the talent, the further one can go. I, Zhu Tianze, have achieved today’s success by progressing step by step, and will sooner or later realize the Great Dao,” he said.
Zhu Tianze reached out, and an Immortal Sword flew out from the scabbard behind him, exuding a cold glare that spanned thousands of miles.
Sword Qi formed an endless sea of swords, and the sea of clouds turned into a vortex.
“You are much stronger than Jiang Yu.”
Lu Changsheng felt the terrifying pressure of the Immortal Emperor.
Zhu Tianze had cultivated step by step, and even though he had just reached the first tier of the Immortal Emperor realm, his foundation was very solid, and his strength was definitely above Jiang Yu’s.
Zhu Tianze once ranked eighty-third on the Qilin Ranking, but now that he had cultivated for too long, he had left the Qilin Ranking. However, having broken through to the first tier of the Immortal Emperor realm, his strength should be comparable to the top thirty peerless geniuses currently on the Qilin Ranking.
As Zhu Tianze said, talent is just one aspect, in the end, it all comes down to who lives longer.
Even the most monstrous geniuses, before they realize the Dao, cannot compare to the old monsters who have achieved immortality.
“Damn it.”
Jiang Yu, who was on the sidelines snacking on melon seeds, found that Lu Changsheng looked down on him, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth.
However, Jiang Yu really was no match for Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng had defeated Jiang Yu while at the nine-layer Golden Immortal realm, and now that Lu Changsheng had broken through to the Quasi-Emperor realm, Jiang Yu was even less of an opponent.
Lu Changsheng started channeling the “Ziwei Celestial Flame True Art,” and a ball of purple flame appeared in the palm of his hand.
Zhu Tianze’s face turned stern, “The supreme teachings of Tai Hua Holy Land? I finally have the chance to witness it. Hidden Edge Sword!”
Zhu Tianze fully activated the treasure, the Hidden Edge Sword. The light of the Divine Sword intensified, and all the spectating disciples from Tai Hua and Yaochi, felt their Immortal Swords trembling at their waists and behind their backs, seemingly submitting to the Hidden Edge Sword’s pressure.
Liu Yiyi said, “Though the Hidden Edge Sword is a top-grade Holy Artifact, it is a treasure personally forged by our Yaochi Holy Mother many years ago, its power close to that of an Emperor Soldier. If used by an Immortal Emperor, its power might not be inferior to a Quasi-Emperor wielding an Emperor Soldier treasure.”
“Come on, Holy Son!”
The Yaochi disciples suddenly became excited and cheered nonstop.
If their Yaochi Holy Son could win, they would be able to hold their heads up high in front of the disciples from Tai Hua Holy Land.
Zhu Tianze activated the Hidden Edge Sword, and its power surpassed even the Emperor Soldier “Hunyuan Heavenly Saber” once wielded by Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu, Ye Feng, and other candidates for the title of Holy Son were all astonished: “Previous Yaochi Holy Sons have always been overshadowed by the Holy Maiden. We didn’t expect the Yaochi Holy Son to be extraordinary as well; his swordplay is very solid.”
“There’s still time to admit defeat!”
Zhu Tianze’s Daoist Robe rustled in the wind generated by the Sword Qi.
He was only sparring with Lu Changsheng and didn’t know whether Lu Changsheng could withstand his sword momentum.
Otherwise, if Lu Changsheng were accidentally injured, it would be difficult to explain to Tai Hua Holy Land.
“Just make your move,” Lu Changsheng said.
Lu Changsheng fully channeled the “Ziwei Celestial Flame True Art,” drawing the Ziwei Celestial Flame from the Ziwei Ancient Star and condensing it between his fists and palms.
His body, forged by the “Qing Emperor Eternal Life Art,” was not much inferior to the Yaochi Holy Son’s Hidden Edge Sword.
“Immovable King Seal!”
Lu Changsheng combined the Buddhist Sect’s “Immovable King Seal” Cultivation Technique with the “Ziwei Celestial Flame True Art,” unleashing a golden Dharma Seal!
The Dharma Seal formed of Ziwei Celestial Flame blazed fiercely as it met the Divine Sword of the Yaochi Holy Son.
The Ziwei Celestial Flame, containing the primeval Starforce of the Ziwei Ancient Star, turned Zhu Tianze’s sea of swords into a sea of fire.

Perspiration seeped through Zhu Tianze’s somewhat handsome face. The “Ziwei Celestial Flame True Art” was the Sect-Defending Skill of Tai Hua Holy Land, and even an Immortal Emperor might be burned to oblivion by the Ziwei Celestial Flame.
“Are you really just a Quasi-Emperor?” Zhu Tianze asked.
This was the first time Zhu Tianze faced such a strong Quasi-Emperor, someone who could contend with his Hidden Edge Sword using just his physical body, while the Ziwei Celestial Flame even destroyed his Sword Qi.
Lu Changsheng’s hand gestures continued to change, consecutively unleashing Buddhist Dharma Seals, attempting to suppress the Yaochi Holy Son.
The dominance of the Innate Taoist Body lay in its ability to integrate any Cultivation Technique!
The Immovable King Seal Lu Changsheng unleashed, fused with the True Qi of the Ziwei Celestial Flame, had the might comparable to an Emperor Tier Martial Technique!
Each time the Dharma Seal was unleashed, colliding with Zhu Tianze’s Sword Qi, celestial flames scattered about, with Ziwei Celestial Flames falling to the ground, turning even the rocks to ashes.
The Yaochi Holy Son, who was at the first tier of the Immortal Emperor realm, was continuously overpowered by Lu Changsheng. Each time the Dharma Seal struck, Zhu Tianze had no choice but to counter with the Hidden Edge Sword.
