348: Crossing the storm, the dark horse

Xiao Zhuo quietly left Star Realm Island, not releasing the eye-catching dark gold tower ship.

He flashed, heading straight for the boundary sea storm outside the Immortal-Demon Realm.

With his current cultivation, forcibly crossing the boundary sea storm, which made countless Immortals change color upon hearing of it, no longer posed any pressure.

Even directly parting the storm was merely a flick of the wrist.

Unnoticed, a black-robed figure flickered like a ghost, instantly appearing at the edge of the boundary sea storm.

Xiao Zhuo's gaze was indifferent, the myriad Dao manifested around him flowing incessantly, and a thick, heavy Chaos light membrane quietly emerged, enveloping his entire body.

He took a step, and his figure completely disappeared into the chaotic and raging heart of the storm.

The boundary sea storm was essentially a place where the Laws and Great Dao were in disarray and collapsed.

It was filled with violent, disordered, and mutually conflicting fragments of Laws and Great Dao Turbulence.

Even a normal Golden Immortal who ventured in faced the danger of death.

Of course, unless extremely unlucky and instantly encountering dozens of Great Dao Turbulencestrangling them, a Golden Immortal could still cross the boundary sea storm.

As for those below Golden Immortal, stepping into it meant only death.

At this moment, Xiao Zhuo was in the center of the storm, the Chaos light membrane flowing incessantly.

No matter what kind of Great Dao Turbulenceattacked, as soon as it approached, it would either be lightly bounced away by the light membrane or silently swallowed by it, completely unable to hinder him in the slightest.

It was just that the Great Dao of Space was twisted and chaotic within this Turbulence, making instant transmission and teleportation impossible to use, otherwise he would not know where he would be thrown, so he could only rely on flying to cross.

Xiao Zhuo flew slowly, covering a hundred miles in the blink of an eye.

Although his speed was not as fast as outside, it was not his limit.

He deliberately restrained himself, not wanting to expose his strength.

If he wished, temporarily parting the entire storm and passing through in an instant would not be difficult.

But such a movement would be too great, and the aura of the Great Luo Realm would inevitably be exposed, making it difficult to guarantee that he wouldn't be targeted by certain existences.

After spending half an hour, Xiao Zhuo finally passed through the storm calmly, his figure entering the vast white nebula ahead without stopping.

Penglai Holy Land.

The Immortal Realm Prodigy Grand Competition was nearing its end.

The ninety-nine majestic arenas that originally stood tall now had only ten still shining with light.

Today was the Peak moment to determine the top ten of this Grand Competition!

This Grand Competition saw the emergence of two dark horses that shook the entire Immortal Realm—Thunder Monarch Wang Xianzhi and Spirit Cloud Fairy Wang Xianyu, siblings!

The two, with their mere Middle Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivation, had overcome all obstacles and forced their way into the top twenty!

At this moment, they both stood on the arenas vying for the top ten!

On one arena, Wang Xianzhi's gaze was as deep as an abyss, his aura condensed and heavy, faintly revealing a stronger Qi than when he fought Li Xiaoyao before.

His opponent was a purple-haired Young Master.

This Young Master was burly and robust, with a masculine and rugged face, and a majestic Concept of extreme Yang Qi surrounded his body, shining like a blazing sun in the sky, immediately indicating his extraordinary nature.

He was precisely the Young Lord of the Setting Sun Immortal Sect—Cheng Yunshen!

Possessing the Great Sun Divine Body and cultivating the sect's ultimate technique, the Nine Revolutions Great Sun Heart Sutra, he was a top Prodigy of the Middle Mahayana Stage!

At this moment, there was no hint of disdain in his eyes, only solemn seriousness, clearly regarding Wang Xianzhi as a formidable opponent.

On another arena, Wang Xianyu sat on the back of her Cloud Spirit Beast, which had transformed into its combat form, engaged in an intense battle with a white-clothed female.

"Wang Xianzhi!" Cheng Yunshen's voice was like a grand bell, carrying the majestic authority of a great sun, "To have come this far, you have enough to be proud of! But, this is where it ends!"

Before his words finished, his hands rapidly formed seals, and a blindingly bright golden light wheel rose explosively from behind him, like a miniature blazing sun!

The temperature of the arena instantly soared, and the air twisted and evaporated under the extreme heat.

"Great Sun Patrolling the Heavens · Nine Revolutions Flame Wheel!"

Cheng Yunshen let out a low roar, and the main light wheel suddenly split, nine smaller light wheels, burning with scorching white flames, whistled out like nine incinerating stars, carrying the terrifying might of burning mountains, boiling seas, and purifying all things, tearing through the air, and bombarding Wang Xianzhi from different trajectories!

Before the light wheels even arrived, the scorching aura made Wang Xianzhi's skin tingle and his hair curl!

Wang Xianzhi's pupils constricted, feeling an unprecedented pressure of death!

The power of the Great Sun Divine Body far exceeded that of an ordinary Middle Mahayana Stage!

He dared not hold back in the slightest, roaring fiercely: "Nine Thunder Orbs · Defend!"

The nine thunder orbs, wrapped in purple lightning, hanging from his waist shot out in response, rapidly rotating around his body, and the lightning instantly interwoven into an impenetrable purple thunder barrier, the surging electric snakes emitting deafening roars!

These nine thunder orbs were his other great reliance besides the thunder surge sword, obtained from an ancient Secret Realm.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The nine great sun flame wheels slammed heavily onto the thunder barrier!

Each impact erupted with an earth-shattering roar, and the violent purple lightning and destructive golden flames furiously clashed and annihilated each other!

The thunder barrier vibrated violently, its light flickering, and the nine thunder orbs hummed mournfully, enduring immense power.

Wang Xianzhi's face suddenly turned pale, and the magical power within his body poured out like a breaching flood.

After only three rounds of impact, the resilient thunder barrier was already covered with spiderweb-like cracks!

"thunder surge sword · Lightning Break!" Wang Xianzhi forced his magical power, and the thunder surge sword drew upon the majestic heavenly thunder, transforming into a thick lightning spear that stabbed at a flame wheel, barely deflecting it.

However, Cheng Yunshen's offensive was like a surging tide, and the remaining flame wheels pressed down even more violently!

"Pfft—!" The thunder barrier finally could not bear the load and shattered with a bang!

The nine thunder orbs flew back, their light dim.

Wang Xianzhi was violently sent flying by the terrifying blast wave of the explosion, spitting out a mouthful of pale golden blood, his aura instantly weakened, his robes scorched and torn, clearly severely wounded!

If not for the thunder orbs sharing most of the destructive power, this blow would have been enough to eliminate him on the spot!

Cheng Yunshen's eyes were cold, his actions decisive, giving his opponent no chance to breathe: "Great Sun Burning the Void!"

He cupped his hands, and the main light wheel erupted with even more terrifying light and heat, a destructive beam of light, about ten feet thick, purely condensed from great sun true fire, carrying the ultimate power of burning the Void Realm, shot down towards the fallen Wang Xianzhi!

At the same time, a ring of light burst open, and a Domain filled with extreme Yang Qi spread out.

This was a killing blow!

At the critical moment, an unprecedented madness and determination erupted in Wang Xianzhi's eyes! He absolutely had to win a spot in the top ten, he didn't want to disappoint Young Master!

"primal chaos talisman! Open! Open! Open! Open! Open!"

He roared in his heart, and five silver-glowing primal chaos talismans instantly appeared around him, exploding violently!

The majestic silver radiance, like a breaching flood, frantically surged into his already damaged Meridians!

"Ugh ah—!" Heart-wrenching screams of pain erupted from Wang Xianzhi's throat!

A violent power far beyond his endurance raged within his body, his Meridians felt as if they were being cut and torn inch by inch by countless red-hot blades!

The surface of his skin instantly burst open with countless fine bloodstains, and pale golden blood instantly soaked his tattered robes!

The price was tragic!

But this power also forcibly elevated his Realm aura to the Mahayana Peak!

Ten breaths! Wang Xianzhi knew clearly in his heart, this was his limit under the primal chaos talisman's blessing!

After ten breaths, he would be completely exhausted, with no combat power left!

Only—a quick battle!

"Thunder Prison Heavenly Punishment · Myriad Thunders Slaying Evil!"

Wang Xianzhi ignored the intense pain all over his body, acting like a madman!

The thunder surge sword flew out of his hand and hung before him, the nine dim thunder orbs rose again, rotating wildly around the sword body!

He used himself as a guide, and the sword and orbs as a pivot, to boldly draw upon the most violent Law of Thunder between heaven and earth!

A Domain of thunder suddenly enveloped the entire arena, even suppressing Cheng Yunshen's Great Sun Domain.

In an instant, the entire arena was completely swallowed by a destructive sea of purple lightning!
