509: Chapter 509 Mu Qingfeng!

It was a young man, tall in stature, but he did not possess an ordinary human form.

His skin had a faint green hue, and his hair was not ordinary black hair but was composed of strands of tiny vines that were currently swaying gently in the wind.

His hands were thick and powerful, with nails gnarled like tree roots.

This was the Treant Race.

An ancient race in the Myriad Realms, they lived in symbiosis with forests, possessed long lifespans, and were naturally attuned to the power of the Wood element.

He wore a long green robe embroidered with simple tree patterns, which added a touch of nature to his aura.

At this moment, green True Qi slowly gathered in his hand, eventually condensing into two large characters above him—Qin Yan!

The two characters were as emerald green as leaves, floating in mid-air and clearly visible.

Immediately after, he struck the golden seat behind him with a palm.

"Buzz!"

Golden light instantly converged on the golden seat, and a beam of light shot up into the sky from it.

Simultaneously, a golden thread condensed from Qin Yan's golden throne and extended downward.

The two golden threads interlaced, entwined, and swirled in the air—finally, under the gaze of countless eyes, they formed a golden Fighting Arena hundreds of meters wide!

The Fighting Arena was entirely golden, floating in mid-air and emitting a brilliant radiance.

A golden light barrier enveloped the Fighting Arena to prevent the aftershocks of the battle from leaking out.

Golden light flashed on Qin Yan and that Prodigy, and the two of them immediately appeared atop the Fighting Arena.

Qin Yan stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm.

The Treant Race Prodigy stood opposite him, green light flickering around his body, already in a combat-ready state.

This scene instantly attracted the attention of countless Prodigies.

"That's the First Grade Disciple, Mu Qingfeng, isn't it!"

Someone recognized the Treant Race Prodigy.

"That's right, it's him! The Genius of the Treant Race."

"He seems to be at the early stage of Rank Six. Qin Yan probably won't be a match for him."

"Rank Six against Rank Five; with the Realm suppression and the massive gap in vitality, Qin Yan is in trouble this time!"

"Not necessarily. Qin Yan is someone who cleared the Heavenly Ladder; he has a deep foundation and might not lose."

"The Heavenly Ladder tests comprehensive ability, while fighting is actual combat—they are two different things. A gap in Realm is not so easily bridged."

"Now there's a good show to watch!"

Discussions broke out everywhere as countless gazes focused on the Fighting Arena.

On the Fighting Arena, Qin Yan looked at the figure opposite him and smiled.

He really hadn't expected that even after clearing the Heavenly Ladder, someone would still treat him like a pushover.

Even more unexpected was that he had become the first one to be challenged.

Did they think he was easy to bully?

But that was fine too; he could take this opportunity to show everyone his true strength!

Mu Qingfeng looked at Qin Yan with a serious expression, not showing any contempt just because Qin Yan's Realm was much lower than his.

Since the opponent could pass the Heavenly Ladder, his foundation was beyond doubt.

He had personally witnessed the surging river of blood, the two types of Spear Intent, and that astonishing sprint on the Heavenly Ladder earlier.

Such a person was definitely not easy to deal with.

But who told the opponent to have both a low Realm and no background?

If he didn't make a move, others would.

Rather than letting someone else benefit, he might as well take the advantage himself.

Mu Qingfeng clenched his hands, and two clumps of green light condensed in his palms.

The light grew denser and more solid, eventually transforming into a massive ancient wood giant hammer!

The giant hammer was formed entirely from ancient wood, its surface covered in tree rings and emitting an ancient, heavy aura.

Vines were wrapped around the handle, and green runes could be seen faintly flickering on the head of the hammer.

The giant hammer was half a person tall, yet it seemed as light as a feather in his hands.

The aura belonging to the early stage of Rank Six suddenly erupted from his body, sweeping toward the surroundings!

That aura was majestic and heavy, like an ancient tree in a forest, making people feel a powerful sense of pressure.

Feeling the opponent's formidable aura, Qin Yan simply smiled faintly to himself.

An early-stage Rank Six First Grade Disciple was only so-so.

This opponent's early Rank Six vitality fluctuations were only slightly stronger, probably around 240,000 cal!

240,000 cal was 80,000 higher than his Qi Refining vitality of 160,000 cal, but only 10,000 higher than his total vitality of 230,000 cal.

Furthermore, he had various bonuses from his techniques; his true combat power far exceeded his surface data.

Such an opponent was nothing to fear.

"Qin Yan, take a strike from my hammer!"

Mu Qing shouted loudly, his body flashing as he turned into a streak of green light, arriving before Qin Yan in an instant!

His speed was astonishingly fast, completely at odds with his burly physique.

Patterns flickered on the giant hammer; those were spirit weapon inscriptions, indicating that this giant hammer was also an extraordinary spirit weapon.

He gripped the hammer with both hands and swung it down!

This strike was heavy and powerful, carrying the momentum of Mount Tai pressing down.

Even the space slightly distorted, showing just how powerful the force of this strike was!

Seeing this, Qin Yan's expression remained unchanged.

He reached forward, and the moyuan spirit weapon instantly appeared in his hand!

As soon as that pitch-black long spear appeared, it created a Bloodline-connected resonance with him.

He held the spear across his body and performed a simple block forward—

The Five Elements radiance instantly erupted!

Five-colored light flowed along the spear's shaft, forming a sturdy barrier.

"Boom!"

Green and Five Elements light interlaced, erupting in a deafening roar!

The shockwave spread in all directions, crashing against the golden light barrier and causing ripples to spread.

However—

Mu Qingyun's expression suddenly changed!

Why?!

Why has my strength weakened?!

The moment his giant hammer struck the opponent's long spear, he could clearly feel it—

It was as if a portion of his strength had been diverted by something!

A strike that was originally enough to shatter mountains and crack stones felt like it had hit cotton when it struck the opponent's long spear—soft and powerless!

Qin Yan gave the long spear in his hand a light shake—

Mu Qing's body was instantly flung backward!

He retreated several steps on the ground before finally coming to a halt.

Every step left a deep footprint on the golden Fighting Arena.

Qin Yan looked at his handiwork, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

The reason he could suppress the opponent so easily was entirely due to the moyuan spirit weapon's Spirit Weapon Skill—Five Elements Block!

Five Elements Block could weaken the opponent's attack power by 30%!

This made his defense sufficient to easily withstand attacks of this level.

Thus, in this exchange, he had gained the absolute upper hand with just a simple block!

"You've finished your attack; now it's my turn!"

After saying this, Qin Yan shook his long spear!

Nirvana Spear Intent instantly surfaced around him, and a thick sense of nirvana spread out!

The aura was as pitch-black as ink, carrying the Concept of all things returning to silence, as if it wanted to bring everything into eternal stillness.

Black light flowed along the spear's shaft, merging with the spear's own pitch-black color, enveloping the entire long spear in a layer of dark halo.

Qin Yan took a step, his figure turning into an afterimage as he lunged toward his opponent!
