885: Chapter 885 Qiu Deyan was shocked; they had all advanced.

Everyone was stunned. The last time Su Yuan became the first to advance, it could be dismissed; perhaps it was because Qiu Deyan hadn't used his full strength.

But this time, Su Yuan was the first to advance again, so the reason could no longer be attributed to whether or not Qiu Deyan had gone all out.

Instead, it was because Su Yuan's own strength was formidable, allowing him to become the first to advance through his Heaven-Defying combat power and his ability to break through the illusions.

Su Yuan himself was only at the Peak Tongshen Realm, yet he had forcefully advanced amidst a group of cultivators in the Immortal Realm and World Realm.

His performance was so shocking that it made everyone realize he might be aiming for the number one spot in the Shengxin Immortal Realm.

Su Yuan was indeed the strongest Genius in the Ninth Star Domain, but the Shengxin Immortal Realm was a stage for the World Realm; beforehand, hardly anyone believed Su Yuan could make it this far.

How long had Su Yuan been in the Inner Hall? How long had he been Cultivating there? Only a little over ten days.

There were about 1,100 members in the Inner Hall; to become one of the four strongest in just over ten days?

The pupils of those looking at Su Yuan were trembling wildly, especially Han Feiyang and Zuo Yan, whose shock was far greater than anyone else's.

Han Feiyang and his companion had witnessed Su Yuan's abilities in the Star Suppressing Land; at that time, his offensive power was comparable to the World Realm Mid-Rank, just a hair's breadth away from the World Realm High-Rank.

Over ten days had passed, and in the blink of an eye, Su Yuan was the first to walk out of the illusion space, having defeated an Illusion Lord with strength comparable to a first-stage World Realm expert.

This rapid growth in strength dealt a huge blow to Han Feiyang and Zuo Yan.

Zuo Yan and Han Feiyang were already Geniuses among Geniuses, but in front of Su Yuan, they couldn't help but feel inferior, as if they couldn't bear the blinding radiance Su Yuan brought with him.

Most importantly, Su Yuan's Realm was ridiculously low to them—only at the Peak Tongshen Realm!

Peak Tongshen Realm with combat power comparable to the first-stage World Realm—who could reason with that?

Su Yuan had already advanced to the fourth round of the challenge, obtaining several types of Cultivation resources that enhanced his strength and star power value.

Once the Shengxin Immortal Realm concluded, Han Feiyang, his companion, and the others dared not imagine what level Su Yuan would reach after refining all those Cultivation resources, or what stage of World Realm combat power he would possess.

Conservatively estimated, Su Yuan's Realm would be at least the Peak Immortal Realm by then.

If he exhausted all his holy land contribution points and Cultivation resources, he might even be able to Breakthrough to the Initial World Realm.

Thinking of this, Han Feiyang, Zuo Yan, and most of the others couldn't help but shiver, their gazes filled with fear and complexity as they looked at Su Yuan.

"Breaking through the illusion in just over three minutes, cracking a high-Realm illusion with a low-Realm, Saint Yuan's ability to see through illusions is truly ridiculous." Su Jingnian couldn't help but transmit her voice to Ye Yuandao, Celestial Venerable, and the others.

After several rounds of challenges, Ye Yuandao, Su Jingnian, and the others were not lightly shocked.

Especially Celestial Venerable; he could tell that Su Yuan hadn't used his full strength when shattering the barrier in the previous round. He could tell from the Star Power fluctuations and the fluidity of his force.

If he could release an attack capable of instantly killing a first-stage World Realm expert without using his full strength, then what about when he did use his full strength, combined with that Breathing Technique that constantly boosted his combat power, and his mysterious instant recovery methods? He could at least fight against a third-stage World Realm expert.

Celestial Venerable had originally thought that Su Yuan would improve through these days of Cultivation to the point of being able to withstand a strike from a first-stage World Realm expert without dying, relying on his Breathing Technique and recovery methods to constantly advance. Who could have imagined that Su Yuan's improvement speed would be so fast—fast to an unbelievable degree.

He directly possessed the offensive power to instantly kill a first-stage World Realm expert. Withstanding a strike from a first-stage World Realm expert without dying and instantly killing one were two completely different concepts.

If he continued to grow at this rate, once the Shengxin Immortal Realm ended and he refined all the rewards, Su Yuan would likely possess terrifying combat power.

How old was Su Yuan, yet his combat power was already stronger than a group of World Realm experts who had lived for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

Celestial Venerable glanced at Chen Xianzhou, knowing what his father's words just now meant. He could be certain that his father was referring to Su Yuan; Su Yuan would shatter the public's perception of him.

Su Yuan's performance was impeccable; he was shocking everyone at every moment.

After several rounds of challenges, the highly impactful scenes left Han Feiyang and the other eliminated contestants with an indescribable sense of bitterness.

After leaving the illusion space, Su Yuan hovered in the Void Realm in full view of everyone, waiting for others to advance.

Time flowed slowly; five minutes had passed since Su Yuan broke through the illusion space.

Qiu Deyan walked out from the purple circle of light with a face full of smiles, but as he laughed, his smile came to an abrupt halt.

Su Yuan was also outside, and the surrounding atmosphere was very strange; those familiar with him were all looking at him with complex expressions.

Qiu Deyan quickly looked around and, discovering that only he and Su Yuan were there, his feelings of joy were instantly washed away, replaced by intense shock.

"Su... Saint Yuan, you advanced a step ahead of me?" Qiu Deyan walked over to Su Yuan's side and asked in an incredulous tone.

"Yes." Su Yuan nodded and smiled slightly.

"You..." Qiu Deyan didn't know how to respond, his mouth twitching wildly as he took three steps back.

He was very confident in his ability to break through illusions; it had taken him less than ten minutes to walk out of the circle of light and defeat the Illusion Lord. Yet, Su Yuan had left the circle before him.

Judging by his steady aura, it was highly likely that he had been much faster than him in defeating the Illusion Lord.

His time in the second round had been slower than Su Yuan's; Qiu Deyan accepted this fact. He secretly told himself that he must exert his full strength in the third round and not hold anything back.

He had entered the illusion space and unleashed his full combat power, yet Su Yuan had still advanced before him; this matter truly left Qiu Deyan baffled.

He had used all his strength, so how could he still be slower than Su Yuan?

Observing the expressions of the eliminated contestants around him, it was obvious that they had already been shocked once by the time it took Su Yuan to break through the illusion. Many people were still glancing at Su Yuan from time to time, not bothering to hide the wariness on their faces.

All these signs indicated that Su Yuan's time to break through the illusion was much faster than his.

"Since that's the case, we'll see each other in the fourth round." Qiu Deyan suppressed the twitching of his mouth, calmed his internal shock, and said to Su Yuan.

He was no ordinary person and could quickly adjust his mindset.

"Alright, see you in the fourth round." Su Yuan looked at Qiu Deyan and responded politely.

Immediately after, Qiu Deyan flashed to the other side, quietly waiting for the next two contestants to advance.

Rubbing his chin, he thought to himself: It was highly probable that Wang Pinghai and Xu Suyan would advance; their strength was second only to his, so there shouldn't be any surprises.

Saint Xiao was also very strong; the fact that he could advance to the third round already demonstrated his formidable strength. But compared to Wang Pinghai and Xu Suyan, Saint Xiao was still too young, lacking in both foundation and Realm.

Another six minutes passed. Xu Suyan defeated the Illusion Lord in the illusion space and left the purple circle of light.

Watching Xu Suyan, Qiu Deyan thought that only Wang Pinghai remained, and he wondered how much longer it would take for him to come out. Their strength was similar, so the time gap shouldn't be too large.

Thirty seconds later, a figure that many people did not expect slowly walked out of the purple circle of light.

Qiu Deyan stared at that excessively young face and immediately gasped. It was Chen Shenxiao, walking out with the seven star imperial song sword in his hand.

Putting away the seven star imperial song sword, Chen Shenxiao looked around and saw at a glance how many figures there were.

"It seems." Chen Shenxiao grinned and came to Su Yuan's side: "I am the last one to advance in the third round."

Su Yuan looked over and smiled happily: "Yes, Shenxiao."

"We have all advanced."
