673: Chapter 673 The Demonic Harp Appears, Purgatory Appears, Genius Defeated

"Extreme State of the Dou Zong, achieved!"

The Extreme State represents power far surpassing a nine-star Dou Zong. With this, Hun Tiandi has no equals at the Dou Zong level; he is invincible within the same realm!

Inside the Pill Furnace, Hun Tiandi slowly opened his eyes. Sparks of lightning danced in his pupils, and a violent Aura radiated from his entire body.

A wicked smile curled on his lips. He clenched his hands, feeling the surging Dou Qi within his body, and felt refreshed.

"This martial competition should also come to an end!"

He stood up, transformed his palm into a fist, and struck with a thunderous impact. The Pill Furnace suddenly jolted, as he sought to flip it over and escape.

"Not good, attack with full force!" Nian Kun's expression darkened. The rebound from the Pill Furnace caused his sturdy frame to tremble, and he shouted coldly.

He exerted his Dou Qi to the limit, pouring it all into the Dou Qi flames, attempting to refine Hun Tiandi.

Cang Chengjun's eyes were filled with anger. It seemed as if a Demonic Beast was awakening inside the Pill Furnace, charging against its shackles, forcing them to suppress it with all their might.

Sword Qi swirled around Gu Ci, and crimson Dou Qi dyed his vision red. The Pill Furnace was burning bright red, emitting a temperature capable of scorching the heavens and boiling the seas.

"Hun Tiandi, please don't let anything happen to you!" Princess Youyou said with concern.

Tears shimmered in her beautiful eyes. One had to know that the three of them—Nian Kun and the others—were top-tier Geniuses of the younger generation, ranking among the best in strength.

The three of them manifested Dou Qi flames. While the scorching temperature did not possess the world-destroying terror of a Heavenly Flame, it still had the power to melt gold and iron.

"Teacher, I fear Hun Tiandi has already been refined into ashes!" Mu Qingluan said happily. If that were the case, the revenge for the destruction of the Starfall Pavilion could be considered avenged!

Upon hearing this, Saint Feng shook his head slightly, a bad premonition arising in his heart.

Yun Yun frowned slightly. The Pill Furnace had emitted a slight vibration earlier, and she was unsure if it was as she had thought.

"This is…" High above in the Void Realm, the Purple-robed Old Eunuch frowned, as if he had seen something inconceivable.

"Open for me!"

Inside the Pill Furnace, Hun Tiandi's fists were like pillars supporting the sky, crashing thunderously against the furnace. If not for the extraordinary quality of the Dragon Cauldron, it would likely have already been shattered to pieces.

The Dou Qi within his body surged out, covering his arms. Lightning sparked as he threw punch after punch.

Bang… Under his immense strength, the Dragon Cauldron shot into the sky with a boom, like a meteor, trailing a long tail behind it.

Boom! The next moment, Hun Tiandi stomped one foot down. Peerless power landed on the plaza, transforming into a ripple that spread in all directions.

The powerful shockwave sent Nian Kun, Cang Chengjun, and Gu Ci flying. Their bodies were knocked backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.

Pfft… Blood sprayed out, landing on the ground. Their faces were deathly pale, and their eyes were filled with disbelief.

Especially Nian Kun; as a Genius of the Da Gan Heavenly Dynasty, when had he ever been injured to such a state? Anger overwhelmed his reason.

A sliver of fear permeated Cang Chengjun's heart; this person must not be made an enemy. Gu Ci, however, understood; his older brother had fallen at this person's hands, so he indeed possessed some ability.

Swish! The Dragon Cauldron climbed to its highest point and began to fall toward the ground at ten times its previous speed. The experts watching from the seats exclaimed in shock.

Hun Tiandi's eyes turned cold. His right hand reached out like lightning, and he grabbed one of the legs of the Dragon Cauldron, hoisting it up by sheer force. The Overlord Lifts the Cauldron!

At this moment, there was no trace of injury on Hun Tiandi. Dou Qi flowed around his body, his Aura terrifying, like a war god reborn.

Flipping his palm, he put away the Dragon Cauldron and stood with his hands behind his back, his deep gaze fixed upon the three people in the arena.

"How is it possible that you are unharmed?" Nian Kun roared unwillingly, his eyes bloodshot. The combined assault of three top Geniuses, and he was actually unscathed.

Gu Ci and Cang Chengjun also stared at Hun Tiandi, both looking bewildered.

"Many thanks to the three of you for your assistance in helping me break through my cultivation Bottleneck!" Upon hearing this, Hun Tiandi revealed a slight smile and thanked the three of them.

Pfft… Three mouthfuls of blood were spat out in succession. For no other reason than being angered!

"You… you refined our Dou Qi to break through?" Cang Chengjun pointed a trembling finger at Hun Tiandi.

"Borrowing power to break through?" Everyone present was extremely shocked upon hearing this. One must know that when Cultivating to break through, everyone chooses a quiet place where they will not be disturbed. Some even have Elders to act as Protectors. Who would dare to be so reckless as to break through during a battle, or even borrow power to break through their cultivation Bottleneck?

When breaking through a realm, once disturbed, one would suffer heavy injuries at best, and death at worst.

The three Dagan officials on the plaza exchanged glances, both seeing the terror in each other's eyes. "This is a madman!"

"The final victor of this battle…" As one of the Dagan officials began to pronounce the result, he was suddenly interrupted by a voice.

"Hold on!" It was Hun Tiandi who spoke.

"If you announce the result of the martial competition now, the three of them will not be convinced. I will give you a chance; recover your Dou Qi with full force!"

"I want you to submit in a single battle!"

Hun Tiandi's voice, like rolling thunder, resounded throughout the entire plaza.

At this moment, whether it was the experts watching or the experts from the Da Gan Heavenly Dynasty, all were extremely shocked; this was purely a madman.

Upon hearing this, Nian Kun sat cross-legged, took a Medicinal Pill from his storage ring, swallowed and refined it, recovering his own Dou Qi.

Cang Chengjun and Gu Ci did the same. The outcome was not yet decided, and there was still a chance.

Hun Tiandi looked at the three with disdain. With a casual wave, the emperor-slaying blade appeared in his hand, and with a flip of his hand, he placed it back into his storage ring. He stood with his hands behind his back, a gentle breeze blowing across the plaza, his green robe swaying in the wind.

Half a day later, Nian Kun was the first to open his eyes. Red light flickered in his pupils as he stood up, intending to attack.

"Wait for the other two! Lest you be defeated and refuse to accept it!" Hun Tiandi said indifferently, seemingly not taking Nian Kun seriously at all.

"How dare you look down on me!" Nian Kun roared, the cold, dark-red Dou Qi on his body spreading like a river of blood.

Not long after, a pale golden light flickered all over Cang Chengjun's body, his Dou Qi reaching its peak. His injuries had recovered by about seventy percent.

Sword Qi permeated the space around Gu Ci, transforming into a vortex that shot into the sky. He opened his eyes, shooting out two tangible beams of sword light.

"Since the three of you have finished healing, let us begin. This farce of a martial competition should also come to an end!" Hun Tiandi's cold voice rang in everyone's ears.

Kill! The three of them were instantly enraged, wielding their weapons and charging at Hun Tiandi. This time, they did not hold back in the slightest; their goal was to slay Hun Tiandi.

Ding-dong… Hun Tiandi moved his hand casually, and a white jade zither appeared in his hand. The moment it appeared, the Qi of Myriad Desires between heaven and earth surged into it like fledglings returning to their nest.

His fingers swept across the strings, and a melodious and mysterious zither sound began to ring out.

"nether demonic zither appears, Purgatory manifests, Geniuses defeated, a solo show!"

Suddenly, the strings of the nether demonic zither vibrated, playing the Purgatory Soul-Suppressing Melody. The eerie zither music washed over the area, and countless nether Qi surged forth.

Instantly, it wove together a Purgatory illusion, enveloping Nian Kun, Cang Chengjun, and Gu Ci within it.

Deep within the Purgatory illusion, Nian Kun's hidden secrets were connected and manifested within the Purgatory.

"Youyou, I truly love you, marry me!!" Nian Kun said excitedly. Before him stood the figure of Princess Youyou, his eyes filled with obsession, his mind bewildered.

Cang Chengjun appeared somewhat bizarre. Within the Purgatory illusion, he was seen wearing a woman's dress, with rouge and powder, heavily made up. His eyes were dazed, imitating the appearance of a woman.

"Am I beautiful?" the made-up Cang Chengjun asked the maid beside him. "Beautiful!" the maid replied with her head lowered in fear, seemingly accustomed to such things.

"Dressing as a woman? A Saint of a grand Holy Land, how could he have such a hobby?" Hun Tiandi could not believe it. He shook his head; he did not understand, but he respected it.

"Big brother, you are finally dead." "The throne is finally mine; no one can fight me for it!" Within the Purgatory illusion, Gu Ci shouted hoarsely, his eyes filled with greed for the throne upon hearing the news of the eldest prince's fall. How excited he was in his heart; there was only one dragon throne, who wouldn't want to hold the power of the world upon waking?

The three top Geniuses fell into the Purgatory illusion, unable to extricate themselves, sinking deep within it.

Hun Tiandi was extremely talented in the Dao of the zither. Whenever he had any spare time, he would painstakingly practice his zither skills, and thus his technique had greatly improved.

The Purgatory Soul-Suppressing Melody was a supreme demonic melody, capable of magnifying a person's desires from the cracks in their heart, causing them to sink into them.

Everyone has regrets and desires… life cannot be perfect. This is the terrifying aspect of the demonic melody; all who sink into the Purgatory illusion do not realize it.

Ding… Ding… Suddenly, the zither music stopped. The three people in the Purgatory had their minds bewildered by the Qi of Myriad Desires between heaven and earth. The nether Qi struck, instantly dealing heavy damage to their Souls.

Pfft… They spat out mouthfuls of blood. The injury to their Souls left them with no power to fight again. The three top Geniuses were defeated!
