167: Section 167

The courtyard where the Vermilion Bird Divine Dynasty was located.

Wei Yaoguang listened to the report from her subordinates, and her face couldn't help but show surprise.

She then thought about her Imperial Father mentioning a marriage alliance with him not long ago.

The thought of becoming Dao Companion with such a Prodigy made her heart stir with anticipation, and a brilliant light shone in her beautiful eyes.

However, in contrast, Emperor Wei Xuanji, who had come along, was not as optimistic as Wei Yaoguang.

"This child has grown so quickly. In this Sword Tournament of Various Sects, he might sweep through the Prodigies of this generation. At that time, his status in Taichu Holy Land will rise even higher, and it will be difficult for my daughter to form a marriage alliance with him!"

He thought to himself.

He mused that he should quickly facilitate the marriage alliance between the two, lest delays lead to complications.

Such situations were occurring in many major powers.

Every Prodigy was either fearful, wary, or filled with Battle Intent, varying from person to person.

And in this situation, time flowed slowly.

Finally.

The Sword Tournament of Various Sects in the Eastern Wang Dao Domain officially began!

In the central area of Moonflower Holy City.

On an extremely large arena, Formations had already been set up around it. Even a Martial Artist of the Transcendent Realm would find it difficult to break through them.

This was enough for all the Prodigies to fully display their talents.

Around the arena, countless Martial Artists had gathered. Looking out, there were crowds of people and surging waves of sound, truly a sea of humanity.

"The Sword Tournament of Various Sects has finally begun!"

"We've been looking forward to it for so long, and it's about to kick off!"

"I wonder who will win first place this time and successfully surpass countless Prodigies of this generation!"

"No need to think about it, it must be Quasi-Saint Child Chu Mo of Taichu Holy Land!"

"This Quasi-Saint Child has profound strength and outstanding talent, so there's a very high possibility. However, the Young Daoist of Tianhai Holy Pavilion and Saint Lingxiao of Haoran Holy Land are also formidable. There will definitely be an extremely fierce battle between them!"

"Let's see who the final victor will be!"

"In this era of great contention, only those who can suppress their peers can go further!"

"Rumor has it that Quasi-Saint Child Chu Mo of Taichu Holy Land obtained the Legacy of Celestial Sword Forefather, who was dominant tens of thousands of years ago. I wonder if we will be able to witness it firsthand today!"

"I'm looking forward to it!"

Many Martial Artists discussed animatedly, whispering to each other, their faces filled with anticipation.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Just as the arena was bustling with sound, several clear bell chimes suddenly rang out, echoing leisurely throughout the entire venue.

The originally lively square immediately quieted down.

Countless people turned their gaze to the central area.

They knew.

The Sword Tournament of Various Sects had officially begun!

As expected.

Soon, an Elder from Moonveil Sacred Ground appeared.

This was a woman with a beautiful and refined appearance. She wore a luxurious palace gown, radiating brilliant divine light all over her body, with icy Qi surging around her, like a Fairy from the Moon Palace, her aura immensely powerful.

She was, astonishingly, a God Realm expert.

"This is Great Saint Beihan!"

"She is the Grand Elder of Moonveil Sacred Ground. I didn't expect her to personally preside over this sword competition. The scale is truly immense!"

"Indeed!"

Many people recognized this woman and were shocked.

For a Great Saint Realm expert to preside over the sword competition showed how highly it was valued, and it also indirectly indicated that this year's competition was indeed more substantial than previous ones.

"The Sword Tournament of Various Sects has no rules. Any Prodigy from the past hundred years can step onto the stage and compete!"

"Whoever can suppress their peers and remain undefeated on the arena will be crowned the champion of the sword competition!"

"During this period..."

"No holds barred, no regard for life or death!"

Great Saint Beihan spoke, hovering in the air.

And as her words fell, both the various Prodigies and the many Martial Artists watching felt a chill in their hearts.

No rules, no regard for life or death.

This meant that...

As long as one was confident in their strength, they could step onto the stage and compete.

But once on stage, they would either be continuously challenged by other Prodigies, eventually collapsing from exhaustion like in a relay battle, or they would sweep through all Prodigies and be the last one standing.

Undoubtedly.

This competition format was extremely cruel.

It made everyone present look solemn.

But...

No Prodigy showed any fear.

As Prodigies, they inherently possessed pride. While not exactly fearless of death, in this golden age, the contention among Prodigies was a path of no retreat.

If one didn't even have the courage to step onto the stage and fight other Prodigies, what right did they have to walk the path of Martial Dao contention?

Therefore.

Every Martial Artist was eager to try, just waiting for the sword competition to begin before immediately stepping onto the stage.

"The competition officially begins!"

Dong!

As Great Saint Beihan's words fell, a bell chime echoed, spreading in all directions, signifying that this Sword Tournament of Various Sects had officially commenced.

"This Young Lord will go first!"

A young Martial Artist flew onto the arena.

He looked young, but his body radiated brilliant divine light, and his strength had reached the Yang God Realm. Dressed in armor and holding a long spear, his entire body was filled with high Battle Intent, looking like a towering War God.

"This is the true Legacy of the War God Palace!"

0

"Rumor has it that his strength is quite formidable, having trained for a long time in the Ancient Domain. I didn't expect him to be here today!"

"With his strength, he should be able to sweep through many Prodigies!"

Below the stage, someone recognized the identity of this young Prodigy and spoke.

"War God Palace true Legacy?"

"This true Legacy will meet you!"

A Prodigy from a major power appeared, flying onto the arena, his aura sharp and formidable, vast as mountains and seas.

Upon seeing him, others exclaimed in surprise.

"It's the first true Legacy sequence of Zihua Sect. At twenty years old, he has already reached the Yang God Realm, his strength is quite impressive!"

"Rumor has it that he possesses some kind of divine body, and his strength is very powerful. He once killed a Yao Beast comparable to a Yang God Peak when he first entered the Yang God Realm!"

"Their strengths are almost evenly matched; it should be a Dragon-Tiger battle!"

The surrounding Martial Artists discussed.

And on the stage.

The War God Palace true Legacy Prodigy looked at the Zihua Sect's first true Legacy sequence, his eyes filled with high Battle Intent: "I've heard of you. Your strength is formidable. I already wanted to compete with you, and you came up yourself. This is exactly what I wanted!"

As his words fell.

He roared and charged directly, engaging in a fierce battle.

The two Prodigies were evenly matched, and for a while, the arena rumbled with continuous explosions, and the large Formation protecting the arena rippled repeatedly.

Streaks of brilliant divine light flew across the sky, and terrifying auras swept out.

It must be said.

They were indeed the Prodigies of the top Sects in the Eastern Dao Domain. Their strength was truly formidable, and the intensity of their battle was extremely grand, captivating many watching Martial Artists, who were deeply absorbed and unable to extricate themselves.

In the blink of an eye.

The two had already been fighting for a while.
