452: A test? Who's testing whom right now?

A moment later, Quenching Fire swallowed his saliva and suggested to True Person Taixuan:

"Holy Master, how about we just skip this test?"

The other Elders' eyes lit up upon hearing this, and they immediately said:

"That's right, we acknowledge Su Yun's strength, so let's just skip the test!"

"That won't do, especially you, Elder Cuihuo.

Weren't you the one shouting the loudest before about wanting to test Saint Su Yun?

Now the opportunity has come.

You'll be the first one to go up!

You are the Peak Master of Cuihuo Peak, after all; surely you aren't afraid of even this!

Don't worry, you just need to test Su Yun's strength; there's no need to determine a winner or loser."

True Person Taixuan suddenly looked at Quenching Fire with a smile and spoke in a gentle tone.

When he had previously proposed passing on his position, Quenching Fire had been the one to oppose it most loudly.

So now, he would let Quenching Fire be the first to test Su Yun.

This wasn't him making things difficult on purpose.

It was truly because this test wasn't something he had established.

Rather, it was established by Grandmaster Taixuan, so it couldn't simply be canceled!

The proper procedures still had to be followed.

Moreover, he had noticed that many Elders had become somewhat lax over the past thousand years.

Having cultivated for so long without much progress.

No wonder their Taixuan Holy Land, as a Holy Land passed down from ancient times,

was originally one of the strongest Holy Lands.

But now it has become weaker and weaker.

It has directly fallen to the bottom.

It would be good to let Su Yun stimulate these Elders a bit.

Thinking of this, True Person Taixuan rubbed his hands together, feeling somewhat expectant of the upcoming scene.

"Ah, this?"

Quenching Fire scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.

It's over, it's over!

If he had known, he wouldn't have spoken up just now!

Now he's been caught by the Holy Master!

Why had he loudly opposed Su Yun succeeding the position so early before?

Mainly because his precious son hadn't managed to beat Su Yun in the Heavenly Flame Palace assessment, and his Dao Heart had been damaged after returning to the Holy Land.

He was just a bit unhappy with Su Yun.

Aside from that, he actually acknowledged Su Yun quite a bit.

After being unable to stop the Holy Master from passing on the position early,

he had somewhat anxiously proposed wanting to test Su Yun.

His goal was simply to give Su Yun a good lesson.

To vent some frustration for his son.

After all, since it was a test for succeeding the position of Holy Master, he could openly give Su Yun a beating.

But who could have imagined Su Yun was so strong?

A test?

Who exactly was testing whom now?

It wouldn't do for him not to go up now.

The Holy Master had already spoken.

Furthermore, he was at the Undergoing Tribulation Layer Three Realm.

Surely he couldn't be afraid to step onto the Arena!

Immediately, Quenching Fire somewhat reluctantly cupped his hands and said to True Person Taixuan:

"As you command, Holy Master!"

"Very well, I have already ordered the deacons to open the Arena Space.

You may go up!"

"Su Yun, you go as well!

I believe you can pass the test!"

True Person Taixuan looked at Su Yun and continued.

"I shall obey the Holy Master's command!"

Su Yun also cupped his hands.

True Person Taixuan waved his hand, and the surrounding Taixuan Deacons immediately sprang into action.

They took out several special Jade Slips, injected Spiritual Qi, and began to control that space within the Arena's sparring area.

Following a thunderous boom, a massive Arena covered in a vast number of Law patterns appeared on the ground within that space, spanning dozens of miles in circumference.

At this moment, the scene on the Arena could be clearly seen from outside the space.

"Elder Cuihuo, good luck!

You must give the Saint a good test!"

"That's right, be serious, you can't lose!"

"Even though it's a test, Su Yun is only at the Enlightenment Layer One Realm, so take it easy, Elder Cuihuo!

Don't actually injure our new Holy Master!"

...At this time, the Elders standing around Quenching Fire spoke with a bit of schadenfreude.

Many of them already had smiles on their faces, prepared to watch Quenching Fire make a fool of himself.

After all, they felt that being the first to go up and lose would be the most embarrassing.

If those who went up later lost, the Disciples would only think that even Quenching Fire had lost, so it wasn't strange for other Peak Masters to lose as well.

At least it wouldn't be as humiliating.

"What are you laughing at?

Is it that funny?

It'll be your turn in a moment!"

Quenching Fire instantly became enraged upon hearing this, flames overflowing from his body.

Dammit, he knew they just wanted to laugh at him!

"Well, that'll be after you finish your turn on the Arena, Elder Cuihuo!"

"Hmph, just watch! I will give Su Yun a proper test!

Although Su Yun is strong, he is still just a junior.

And I am a Senior who has cultivated for thousands of years.

If nothing else, my combat experience is not something Su Yun can compare to."

Quenching Fire waved his red sleeves, no longer looking at the other Elders, and turned into a streak of light, flying into the Arena Space.

As soon as he entered the Arena Space, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi seemed to be ignited by the flames on his body, reflecting a piercing red light and releasing an extremely powerful aura.

Even through the space, many Taixuan Disciples felt somewhat breathless.

"Quenching Fire is not only a Great Master of Artifact Refining but also possesses immense strength.

He was invincible among his peers and frequently challenged Cultivators from various major forces a thousand years ago.

But later, perhaps because he grew tired, he stopped challenging other Cultivators and focused on Artifact Refining, becoming the Peak Master of our Holy Land's Cuihuo Peak.

So his strength is definitely very formidable!"

"I wonder if Su Yun can win against Quenching Fire."

"He doesn't need to win, right?"

"He probably only needs to gain Quenching Fire's recognition to be considered to have passed."

"I, on the other hand, feel that the Saint won't lose to Quenching Fire!

He will definitely be able to win."

...The Taixuan Disciples watched the Arena Space with rapt attention, for fear of missing a brilliant moment.

Seeing this, faint spatial ripples also appeared around Su Yun, and he instantly manifested inside the Arena Space.

"What a powerful Law of Space!"

Liu Chengfeng's eyes suddenly widened as he spoke with some surprise.

He had also comprehended the Law of Space.

But he believed he was no match for Su Yun.

"Elder Liu, who do you think is stronger?"

True Person Taixuan suddenly asked.

"I believe it is Saint Su Yun."

Liu Chengfeng said with certainty.

It could be seen from that day's Enlightenment Tribulation.

The power of that final, sky-piercing sword light had already reached the high-stage of Undergoing Tribulation.

It wasn't something Quenching Fire could withstand... Inside the Arena Space.

"Elder Cuihuo, let's begin!"

Su Yun looked at Quenching Fire and spoke directly.

"Su Yun, gaining my recognition,

is not that simple.

You'd better be careful!"

Quenching Fire said in a heavy voice.

"Come!"

A faint, misty light flashed across Su Yun's body.

In an instant, his whole being seemed like a Banished Immortal, manifesting an ethereal temperament.

Seeing the misty light on Su Yun's body, Quenching Fire suddenly felt something was amiss.

A strong sense of crisis welled up in his heart.

At this moment, he actually felt that Su Yun's strength was even comparable to the Taixuan Holy Master.

But how could that be possible?

Thinking of this, Quenching Fire shook his head, formed hand seals with both hands, and expanded his Domain.

"Quenching Artifact Domain!"

Thousands of deep-red flowing fires suddenly materialized around him, instantly enveloping an area of ten miles.

Countless sabers, spears, swords, and halberds manifested within the flowing fire, each emitting a heart-palpitating aura.

This turned the entire Arena Space into a purgatory.

The surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was evaporated in an instant.
