210: You are not worthy of my sword.

“What powerful defense!” “Lei Qianjun’s Lightning Technique has reached the Transcendent stage!”

While the Thunder Dragon dodged the attacks, its massive Dragon mouth opened,

and purple lightning bolts as thick as buckets shot out, resembling Spears of Heavenly Punishment,

violently bombarding the various nodes of the Formation's Light Barrier!

Every strike caused the entire God Slaying Golden Fiend Formation to tremble violently, its golden light flickering erratically!

Zhao Wuhen's expression changed slightly, and the Hand Seals he formed became faster,

desperately maintaining the Formation and mobilizing more Golden Fiend Weapons to surround and attack the Thunder Dragon.

However, the Thunder Dragon, Lei Qianjun's Incarnation, not only possessed astonishing defense, but its speed was also as fast as lightning!

He didn't blindly resist; instead, he keenly captured the weak points in the energy flow as the Formation operated,

every lightning bolt strike accurately hitting the Formation's “seven-inch” weak spot!

“Break!”

After only ten breaths of stalemate, the Thunder Dragon let out an earth-shattering roar,

its massive Dragon tail carrying the power of Ten Thousand Tons of Thunder, fiercely striking a node of the Formation whose light had dimmed due to continuous bombardment!

*Crack—!*

Like shattering glass! The indestructible God Slaying Golden Fiend Formation's Light Barrier,

under the terrifying force of the Dragon tail and the ravages of the violent thunder, instantly exploded!

Countless Golden Fiend Weapons wailed as they scattered into specks of golden light!

*Pfft!*

With the Formation forcibly broken, Zhao Wuhen felt as if he had been struck heavily,

his face turning pale, a mouthful of fresh blood spurting out as his body stumbled backward.

The lightning light retracted, and Lei Qianjun's burly figure reappeared, surrounded by crackling lightning,

his aura still vigorous, though his breathing was slightly hurried.

He cupped his fist toward the defeated Zhao Wuhen: “I yield to your skill!”

“First match, Lei Qianjun wins!” Venerable Ziyang's voice rang out.

The entire audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers and gasps of admiration!

Lightning Technique breaking the Formation—overcoming skill with power—it was utterly exhilarating!

“Second match, Liu Ruyan (Pill Cloud Peak) versus Yan Lie (Chiyan Peak)! Please Ascend the Stage!”

Liu Ruyan took light, Lotus Steps, floating onto the stage, like a Fairy descending to the mortal world.

Yan Lie, facing her, was like a ball of burning flames, his Battle Intent blazing fiercely!

“Liu Ruyan of Pill Cloud Peak, please advise.”

“Yan Lie of Chiyan Peak, please! Senior Sister Liu, forgive my offense!”

Yan Lie let out a low roar, fierce flames ignited on his fists, and he violently blasted out two roaring Fire Dragons!

Liu Ruyan's expression remained unchanged, her Slender, Jade-like Fingers lightly tapped the Void Realm.

*Buzz!*

Pale purple Flame Lotus flowers bloomed out of thin air,

seemingly delicate, yet carrying a terrifying high temperature capable of incinerating all things!

The lotus flowers spun, easily shredding and devouring the roaring Fire Dragons that approached!

“Pill Fire Transforms into Lotus, Purifying World Burning Flame!” Liu Ruyan's voice was cold and clear.

She lightly waved her plain hand, and countless purple fire lotus flowers, like a Meteor Shower of Fire, instantly submerged Yan Lie!

No matter how Yan Lie mobilized his Fire-Element Cultivation Technique to resist,

the purple fire was like maggots clinging to bone, scorching his Protective Spiritual Light!

In just a moment, Yan Lie could no longer hold on; his Protective Spiritual Light shattered, and he conceded defeat in embarrassment.

“Liu Ruyan, wins!”

Gasps of amazement sounded from the stands. The Great Senior Sister of Pill Cloud Peak,

her Fire Control Technique was indeed superb, defeating Yan Lie, who was also proficient in Fire Technique, with effortless grace!

The two battles—one overwhelmingly dominant,

the other elegantly lethal—instantly pushed the atmosphere to a climax!

Everyone's gaze involuntarily turned toward the edge of the Battle Stage,

focused on the two figures who were already bristling with tension.

“Third match, Yao Delong (Luoxia Peak) versus Xiao Chen (Spirit Plant Peak)! Ascend the Stage!”

Venerable Ziyang's voice was like lighting the final fuse, and the entire Heavenly Evolution Battle Stage instantly boiled over!

All eyes, all expectations, all the Volatile Tension, were fixed tightly on those two figures!

*Whoosh! Whoosh!*

Two streaks of light landed almost simultaneously in the center of the massive Battle Stage, facing each other from a hundred *zhang* apart.

He flipped his wrist, and a Long Saber appeared in his hand—it was entirely emerald green, its blade wrapped in mysterious wood grain,

radiating intense vitality and sharp Qi!

The saber blade hummed, faintly emitting the sound of a Dragon's Roar, and a powerful Spiritual Pressure instantly spread out!

“Azure Scale Dragon-Patterned Saber! A top-grade earth artifact!”

A knowledgeable Disciple in the stands immediately cried out in surprise.

“His Highness Xiao Chen even brought out this Treasure! It seems he's serious now!”

“Yao Delong is finished! This saber, combined with His Highness Xiao Chen's Wood-element Cultivation Technique, doubles the power!”

“Junior Brother Yao,”

Xiao Chen wore a cold, sneering smile at the corner of his mouth, the tip of his saber pointed diagonally at the ground,

his gaze contemptuously sweeping over Yao Delong's empty hands,

“What's wrong? Are you scared? You don't even dare to show your Weapon?

Or is it that your insignificant Swordsmanship isn't even worth mentioning in front of This Prince?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the stands immediately erupted in an uproar!

“Why isn't Senior Brother Yao using his sword?”

“Exactly! During the Inner Sect Assessment, his Swordsmanship amazed the entire audience!”

“Could he really have been scared stiff by Xiao Chen? Impossible, right?”

“Arrogant! How dare he look down on His Highness Xiao Chen like that!”

Lin Shishi and Xiao Huohuo nervously clenched their fists even tighter,

knowing the terror of Yao Delong's Swordsmanship, and seeing him not use his sword now only deepened their worry.

On the high platform, the various Peak Masters also wore different expressions.

“What kind of trick is this kid playing?” Ji Yanshuang frowned slightly.

“Hmph, just Grandstanding and courting humiliation!”

Luo Baiya sneered repeatedly, yet a flicker of subtle anticipation flashed in his eyes.

Dan Chenzi's eyes flashed with brilliance, the corner of his mouth slightly lifted, and he thought to himself:

‘Good kid! Could it be that he plans to use his Senior Brother's Fire Control Technique?’

On the Arena Stage, Yao Delong faced Xiao Chen's mockery and the audience's doubts,

merely smiled faintly—a smile that was calm and rippleless, yet carried the indifference of looking down upon Ants.

“To deal with you, why would I need a sword?”

His voice was flat, yet it clearly spread throughout the venue, carrying an unquestionable confidence,

“Senior Brother Xiao, you are not worthy of me drawing my sword.”

*Boom!*

This sentence was more lethal than any provocation!

It instantly ignited all of Xiao Chen's fury!

“Arrogance! You seek death!”

Xiao Chen's handsome face instantly contorted, and the Killing Intent in his eyes surged!

He stopped wasting words, and the Spiritual Power surrounding him erupted violently!

“Wood Domain: Myriad Forms of the Forest—Ten Thousand Vines Binding Heaven!”

*Buzz—!*

A vast, majestic Domain Power, brimming with vitality, instantly spread out with Xiao Chen at its center!

The ground of the entire Heavenly Evolution Battle Stage seemed to come alive, and countless thick, tough,

dark green shimmering Vine Phantoms burst forth from the earth, like countless ferocious giant pythons,

rushing wildly toward Yao Delong with a sharp sound of tearing air!

Sharp wooden thorns on the vines flashed with cold light, containing powerful Binding and Corrosive Forces!

“Hiss! The Domain is turning from illusion to reality! Xiao Chen's Wood Domain has reached Minor Achievement Peak!”

A wave of gasps sounded from the stands.

“What powerful Binding Force! These vines are incredibly tough; even an Early Nascent Soul Stage cultivator would find it hard to break free!”

“Yao Delong is being too arrogant! Without a sword, how can he break this Domain?”

Luo Baiya finally revealed a satisfied smile:

“My Chen'er's Wood Domain has grasped the essence of the technique. Not bad.”

Dan Chenzi also nodded slightly: “It certainly has some skill, but unfortunately...”

However, Yao Delong, who was at the core of the Domain, being frantically entangled by countless Vine Phantoms,

and with Ancient Wooden Branches pressing down on him, still maintained a calm expression.

He didn't even try to break free from the Vine Phantoms wrapping around him,

as if the restraints, powerful enough to snap Tempered Steel, didn't exist.

“Hmph! Playing Tricks! Crush him for me!”

Xiao Chen sneered fiercely and fully activated the Domain! The vines instantly tightened, and the Ancient Wooden Branches stabbed down like massive spears!
