Chapter 577: Chapter 577: Jiang Baige Fights the Heavenly Blade King Again, Huo Yunjie Makes a Move
Atop the arena.
King Jinlei, who had been fed Life Essence Liquid by Shi Lei, had his injuries healed and regained consciousness, just in time to hear Long Tianxing’s words.
He widened his eyes, “No, I don’t believe it!”
“Huh, King Jinlei is alive again?”
The onlookers pointed at him and shouted in unison.
King Jinlei leapt into the air, locking eyes with Long Tianxing, who was in his True Dragon Form, from dozens of meters away.
“I have even stronger Golden Divine Thunder, this one contains at least ten years of my cultivation, I don’t believe you can withstand it!”
King Jinlei was confident.
“Then give it a try,” Long Tianxing said without a hint of fear.
In his True Dragon Form, he had ample confidence.
“Then you better watch out!” King Jinlei roared mightily, his combat power surging. He then clasped his hands together and chanted, “Golden Divine Thunder, brilliance that extinguishes worlds!”
Rolling golden thunders gathered above his head.
The golden thunderbolts, spinning at high speed, formed into a golden spherical lightning, carrying a breath that shocked the crowd, and suddenly exploded.
Crackle and snap!
All the golden lightning struck Long Tianxing’s body, enveloping him in radiant glow, blinding spectators from seeing the actual scene.
“What’s the situation now?”
Someone couldn’t restrain their curiosity.
But, no one answered, all holding their breath in anticipation.
Gradually, the Golden Divine Thunder engulfing Long Tianxing began to shrink, and in the end, all of it was devoured by Long Tianxing.
“Burp!”
Long Tianxing let out a satisfied belch, exhaling a puff of black smoke, “Not a bad taste, but alas, still insufficient to harm me.”
“How… How is this possible?”
King Jinlei was staggered, taking steps back in shock.
That was his hard-earned thunder technique with formidable power, despite its flaw of slow attack speed, making it easy to dodge; the power, however, was absolutely terrifying.
Yet, Long Tianxing had actually devoured it!
Wasn’t that too fierce?
Whoosh!
Long Tianxing did not wish to waste time. With a flick of his dragon tail, he instantly traversed dozens of meters, knocking King Jinlei flying into a mountain wall, where he was deeply embedded.
Now, the victor had been decided.
“Well done, Junior Brother Long!”
Huo Yunjie, Shi Lei, Li Jiaojiao, and others waved their hands excitedly.
Long Tianxing reverted from his True Dragon Form back to his original appearance—dressed in a white robe, with silver hair and blue eyes, and a slender stature.
He looked at King Jinlei crawling out from the mountain wall, covered in disarray and spitting out broken rocks, a small smile curving at the corner of his mouth.
“I won!”
He murmured, smiling.
By this time, it could be almost certain that he would be the champion of the fifth arena.
After all, within the two countries, there was no one at the Element Gathering Realm quintuple layer who could be his match.
At the peak of Misty Peak.
Ye Feng lounged in a recliner, sipping Ice Cola, looking at Long Tianxing, who had returned to human form, and nodded in satisfaction.
“Sect Leader, was my dragon blood useful?”
The voice of Ao Chuan, the Black Dragon Quasi-Emperor, came from beside him.
“Not bad,” Ye Feng nodded in acknowledgment.
The bottle of Dragon God’s Blood that Long Tianxing had drunk was not the original version, but an upgraded version refined by Ye Feng.
Within it, a substantial amount of Ao Chuan’s dragon blood had been mixed.
Although Ao Chuan’s dragon lineage was not of the highest purity, after Ye Feng’s purification and combined with the Dragon God’s Blood for joint refinement, the efficacy of the brew had increased by over fifty percent.
It was for this reason that Long Tianxing was able to successfully transform.
“Tian Xing can enter his True Dragon Form at any time, and within his rank, he has few opponents. His path toward godhood has already begun,” Ye Feng murmured.
“But what about the other disciples?”
…
On the eighth arena.
Mo Ying folded her arms, standing still, as she ended up with no more challengers to await.
Over the past two days, she had revealed a terrifying level of Swift Sword Intent.
Her opponents hardly lasted three bouts before being struck by her astonishing Swift Sword at the center of their foreheads, forcing them to concede defeat.
In comparison to Long Tianxing, Mo Ying maintained a completely overwhelming stance from beginning to end, exuding a powerful sense of oppression to all.
On the third arena.
Wang Ping’an defeated his opponent and then demonstrated the Iron Pot Pill Stewing Method on the spot, concocting a large pot of Lower Grade Bursting Origin Pills.
“Freak, absolutely insane!”
Those proud warriors at the Triple Layer of the Element Gathering Realm who were initially keen on challenging the stage saw this scene and their mouths twitched with fear, daring not to step forward.
“Heavenly Blade King, do you dare to fight?”
At this moment, a resonant voice echoed throughout the venue.
All eyes followed the sound to see on the ninth battle platform, a prodigy at the peak of the Element Gathering Realm was sent flying with a single sword stroke, defeated in dismay.
The one who defeated him was the chief true disciple of the Sword King Sect, once the number one prodigy of the Southern River Basin.
The Sword of the Sword King, Jiang Baige!
He had just taken the stage, and in a few exchanges, he defeated his opponent. Following that, he openly issued a challenge to the yet-to-appear Heavenly Blade King Yi Zhuang.
“Hahaha, you, a defeated underling, still dare to challenge me? Since that’s the case, I’ll fight you,” said Yi Zhuang, laughing heartily.
The next moment, Heavenly Blade King Yi Zhuang ascended the platform.
He carried the Heavenly Sabre on his back, arms crossed, an expression of cold indifference on his face.
The aura around him was like a storm, whirling at high speed around him, making it difficult for even his peers in strength to get close.
“Blade Force Field!”
Jiang Baige’s expression was serious, “It looks like you’re about to break through to the Spirit Sea Realm.”
“Indeed, after this battle, I will break through to the Spirit Sea Realm. If you still wish to challenge me in the future, then you’ll have to wait until you break through to the Spirit Sea Realm as well,” Yi Zhuang said coldly.
Clang!
He suddenly drew his blade, “Make your move!”
Clang!
Jiang Baige quickly unsheathed his sword, his Sword Intent swiftly converging, forming a storm-like pressure that made the onlookers retreat.
Clang!
Before the crowd could react, Yi Zhuang had already collided with Jiang Baige’s sword midair.
Clang clang clang…
The two exchanged blows at high speed, their swords and sabres clashing, sending sparks flying. In the blink of an eye, they had already exchanged dozens of moves.
All onlookers were wide-eyed.
“Such speed, so fast!”
“It seems only Mo Ying’s Swift Sword could be slightly superior. Anyone else entering the fight definitely wouldn’t be able to keep up with their speed.”
“Is this the level of the top prodigies at the peak of the Element Gathering Realm? Truly terrifying indeed!”
The onlookers were greatly shocked.
“Sword of the Sword King!”
After hundreds of exchanges between the two, with no clear winner, Jiang Baige had no choice but to use his strongest sword move.
Behind him, a sharp longsword materialized.
It hung high in the air and quickly merged with Jiang Baige, achieving the Man-Sword Unity Realm as he slashed towards the Heavenly Blade King.
“Trivial skills!”
The Heavenly Blade King Yi Zhuang gripped his blade with both hands and struck down with great force.
However, the Sword of the Sword King suddenly split into hundreds of sword shadows, each carrying the same breath, indistinguishable from the real one.
“What’s going on?”
Yi Zhuang’s pupils shrank with shock.
In the moment he was stunned, the hundreds of sword lights attacked simultaneously, toppling him. Covered with wounds, he was unexpectedly defeated.
“What happened?”
Yi Zhuang asked in a deep voice.
Last time they fought, he easily defeated Jiang Baige, but today, he was easily defeated, which was truly incomprehensible.
“This is the ‘Sword Light Art’ passed down within the Sword King Sect. It took me a long time to master it, and every sword light is real, each containing considerable power,” Jiang Baige explained.
“I see,” Yi Zhuang nodded.
His demeanor fiercely shook off his tattered clothes, revealing his muscular build, carrying the Heavenly Sabre on his back, he walked slowly towards the distance.
“I’ll fight you again after I enter the Spirit Sea!” he said.
With that, the Heavenly Blade King Yi Zhuang disappeared from the sight of the crowd.
“Jiang Baige actually won!”
The onlookers were continuously moved, reminiscing about the process of the just-finished battle, being dazzled by the “Sword Light Art.”
Elsewhere.
Huo Yunjie, carrying the Frost Sword and the Heavenly Frost Sword, slowly stepped onto the sixth battle platform.
Looking at the opponent across from him who was also a top prodigy at the sixth layer of the Element Gathering Realm, he gestured a salute and said:
“I am Huo Yunjie from the Misty Sect, please enlighten me!”
