759: Chapter 760 Fierce Robbery

"It's a dao seed! Another one has appeared!"

"So many! There are more than all the previous ones combined!"

"Snatch them! It's our last chance!"

The atmosphere of the Secret Realm, already strained to the limit, instantly ignited into a boil. Countless bloodshot eyes turned toward the sky—greedy, frenzied...

"Hmph, a bunch of ants dare to covet dao seeds?"

Gu Shitian, who had just broken through to the Early Stage of the Immortal Sovereign realm, stepped out of the Ancient God Mountain Range. His gaze was like lightning as he scanned the firmament.

With a shift of his body, he moved across the sky like a humanoid dragon. Ignoring the countless burning gazes below, he reached straight for a dao seed that emitted a heavy, earthy yellow light and was shaped like a mountain.

As his large hand reached out, the Void Realm solidified. That dao seed was pulled into his palm without any resistance. Several Peak Immortal King prodigies below who also coveted this dao seed turned pale, not daring to offer the slightest obstruction.

"This dao seed is mine."

From the direction of the True Dragon Pond, Ao Zhan walked with a powerful stride. A phantom of a golden dragon claw reached out, easily capturing a blue dao seed shrouded in mist and echoing with the faint roar of a dragon. As it fused into his body, his aura seemed to become even more solid.

"Kill!" Mo Cha was even more direct. With demonic flames billowing, he charged straight toward a dao seed eruption point where several prodigies were currently in a chaotic battle.

With a sinister laugh, his demonic flames transformed into a giant hand. Regardless of friend or foe, he covered that entire area, including the dao seeds and the prodigies within it.

"Those who block me shall die!" Amidst screams of agony, the dao seeds were snatched by him, while several unlucky prodigies were either killed or wounded.

Top-tier figures like Ling Guzhou, Huang Jiutian, Jiang Li, Xuan Yi, and Luo Shenyue also took action one after another.

Their targets were not just unowned dao seeds, but also those already taken by others whose attributes aligned with their own Great Dao!

The true hunt had begun. The weak were being rapidly stripped of even the qualification to hold a dao seed.

The rankings on the Heavenly Monument of the Firmament began to refresh, jump, and change at a dizzying speed!

"Look! Gu Shitian's dao seed count has become 5! Where did he get another one?"

"Ao Zhan's has also become 5! It's that Water Element dao seed!"

"That lunatic Mo Cha directly snatched from three people! His dao seed count is now 6! He's broken into the top five in the rankings!"

"Ling Guzhou, 5 seeds. But that move of his just now, fetching something from a distance, was terrifying!"

"Huang Jiutian has made a move! Her target is the Blazing Fire Daoist, Ziyang Peak Personal Disciple Yanlie! Ziyang Peak Personal Disciple Yanlie is in danger!"

Sure enough, the light of the Blazing Fire Daoist's name on the Heavenly Monument flickered rapidly a few times and then completely dimmed!

Behind Huang Jiutian's name, the dao seed count jumped from 3 to 4, and her ranking suddenly soared!

True crises and collisions also erupted suddenly at this moment!

Above the ruins affected by the chaotic battle, Mo Cha had just crushed a Prodigy's protective spiritual light and sucked a Fire Element dao seed into his palm.

His blood-red demonic pupils suddenly turned and locked onto several figures retreating from the edge of the Thunder Marsh—it was Xiao Ruobai, Fang Hanyu, and their group!

"Hmm? This blood vitality, and that Sword Intent... I've found you."

Mo Cha licked his lips, a cruel and excited smile appearing on his face. He turned into a dark red line of fire that tore through the sky, heading straight for Xiao Ruobai and the others!

"Mo Cha, your opponent is me."

A calm voice, yet one containing a powerful will, suddenly exploded in front of Mo Cha like thunder from the Nine Heavens!

At the same time, a brilliant and majestic sword light, as bright as a great sun, seemed to be born from nothingness. It spanned across the horizon and slashed with unerring precision onto Mo Cha's path forward!

Boom—!!!

The sword light and demonic flames collided violently. The resulting energy tide completely leveled the ruins below, and countless prodigies fighting for dao seeds retreated in horror.

As the light dissipated, a tall figure stood between Mo Cha and Xiao Ruobai's team.

Li Xuanfeng, dressed in green robes, held an ancient longsword. Blazing Sun True Fire flowed incessantly upon the blade, and his aura was as steady as a mountain and deep as an abyss.

He looked at Mo Cha calmly, but his Sword Intent had already locked down all of the opponent's vital energy.

"Li Xuanfeng?" Mo Cha's pupils shrank slightly as he recognized the newcomer, and his sinister grin grew even wider.

Without another word, Mo Cha let out a wild roar. His demonic flames fused with Golden Crow True Fire, transforming into a phantom of a three-headed, six-armed Flame Demon God that lunged forward as if to burn the heavens and boil the seas!

Li Xuanfeng's gaze sharpened. He channeled a sword spell, and a phantom of a brilliant sun appeared behind him. Endless Pure Yang Sword Qi gushed out, turning into a majestic river of swords that incinerated all evil, meeting the attack head-on!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom—!!!

In an instant, the Pure Yang sword river and the demonic fire giant collided, annihilated, and regenerated frantically.

The two figures turned into two entangled streaks of light in the air. Wherever they passed, space fractured and Dao laws wailed.

The scorching and sinister energy turned that patch of sky into a complete death zone, where no one dared to approach even an inch.

This was the purest struggle of the Great Dao, a duel between light and evil fire!

The fierce battle lasted for about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, with the two sides exchanging more than a thousand moves.

Finally, after an earth-shattering clash, the two figures suddenly separated, each retreating several hundred feet.

There were several scorch marks on Li Xuanfeng's green robes, and his breathing was slightly labored, but his eyes remained as bright as swords, and his Sword Intent rose instead of falling.

Mo Cha's demonic flames had dimmed slightly, and the sleeve of one arm had been shredded by Sword Qi, revealing skin underneath that shimmered with a metallic luster.

His gaze toward Li Xuanfeng had changed from its initial arrogance into deep wariness and an even more intense Battle Intent.

"Li Xuanfeng... you live up to your reputation." Mo Cha's voice was raspy, carrying a hint of excited trembling.

"That's enough for today. During the final ranking battle, we shall decide life and death!"

"I shall be waiting at any time." Li Xuanfeng sheathed his sword, his tone indifferent.

Mo Cha took one last glance at Xiao Ruobai and the others in the distance, gave a sinister laugh, and turned into demonic flames to flee, heading toward another area dense with dao seeds.

Clearly, he realized it was unwise to fight to the death with Li Xuanfeng here.

Li Xuanfeng took a deep look in the direction where his Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters had safely retreated. His figure also slowly faded, hiding once more within the Secret Realm.

Although this battle ended in a draw, it was like a huge rock thrown into a boiling pot of oil, instantly igniting the minds of all observers!

"My god... that was Li Xuanfeng and Mo Cha! They actually faced off!"

"A draw! The green-robed swordsman can actually hold his own against Mo Cha, who possesses the Golden Crow True Fire!"

On the Heavenly Monument of the Firmament, the names of Li Xuanfeng and Mo Cha seemed to shine even more piercingly because of this.

In another location, on a wasteland where Sword Qi soared to the skies, two peerless sword lights—one gray and one silver—collided with a crash, as if by fate!

Clang—!!!

The sound of clashing metal echoed for a hundred miles. A terrifying storm of Sword Qi swept out from the point of impact, plowing deep, bottomless trenches into the earth. Countless prodigies who couldn't dodge in time were sent flying, spitting blood from the aftershocks.

In the center of the storm, Gu Shitian stood proudly. He was actually using his fist, covered in ancient divine runes, to meet the solitary and peerless sword edge swung by Ling Guzhou head-on!

Between the fist and the sword tip, space was annihilated inch by inch.

"Using a fist as a sword? Not bad." A hint of surprise flashed in Ling Guzhou's eyes, which then transformed into an even colder Sword Intent. "Unfortunately, it is still just a fist."

"The sword is a Dao, and the fist is also a Dao."

Gu Shitian's voice was like a Great Bell. The divine runes on his fist erupted with piercing light, and a boundless, massive force burst forth, actually knocking Ling Guzhou back three steps, man and sword alike.

As for himself, a sword mark was left on the surface of his fist.

Their gazes met in the air like lightning, their Battle Intent burning fiercely, yet neither made another move.

An unowned dao seed emitting a sharp golden glow flew between the two of them.

"This object is useless to me." Gu Shitian glanced at it and turned to walk away with large strides, his voice rolling like thunder.

"Your sword is good. I hope you won't disappoint me in the final battle."

Ling Guzhou sheathed his sword. Watching Gu Shitian's departing back, his white robes moved without any wind. He didn't say a word, but that soaring Sword Intent was already the best answer.

Bloody, cruel, and devoid of any reason—strength was the only pass at this moment.

The top-tier prodigies who had obtained Legacies and seen their strength skyrocket began to clear and harvest without mercy, consolidating their advantages.

Time flew by amidst the bloody scramble. In the blink of an eye, another half-month passed. The dao seeds within the Dao Source Secret Realm had been almost entirely discovered and snatched up.

On the Heavenly Monument, the names of those possessing dao seeds had basically stabilized, and the total number of dao seeds was also fixed at a certain figure.

The scramble had entered the final white-hot stage. Those with dao seeds tried their best to hide and protect themselves, while those without them engaged in a final, frenzied hunt and robbery.

White lights of death and elimination lit up from time to time in various parts of the Secret Realm.

Azure Profound Sect Disciples like Shen Jinghong, Shi Jingxian, and Ji Qingyi also faced attacks.

However, they were powerful. After repelling several waves of coveters, they each made some gains. Their rankings rose steadily, firmly occupying positions within the top one hundred.

Remaining dao seeds in the Dao Source Secret Realm: Thirty-three

Remaining participants: Five thousand seven hundred and twenty-two

"Three thousand dao seeds, and there are still over five thousand people?"
