126: Breaking records, peak showdown

“Junior Brother Han is quite ruthless!”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyelids twitched as she looked at the Void Mirror.

“This is a battle; it’s normal. Giving others an Opportunity means cutting off your own chance of victory,” Yun Xi said.

“That’s true…”

—

“Pfft…”

Spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, Han Lin’s body swayed considerably. Her bright eyes were dim and lifeless, and her face was a few shades paler.

“Whoosh—!”

Suddenly, Han Lin opened her mouth and a beam of light shot out, like lightning, rapidly striking Han Li.

“Stubborn…”

With a sigh, the Dragon’s roar behind Han Li sounded again. Divine light materialized, forming a golden seal that he directly blasted out.

The light shattered, and the remaining attack instantly landed on Han Lin’s body.

Her body flew out, smashing to the ground, completely losing the power to resist and falling unconscious.

He had originally intended to leave her with a breath, but since she still wanted to go head-to-head, he would not be polite.

Han Lin fell unconscious.

The people of Yuling Palace also looked grim.

Yuling Palace was completely stopped.

Meanwhile, the faces of the Qingyuan Sect members broke into brilliant smiles.

This victory meant that Qingyuan Sect had entered the top ten!

“Finally, we can hold our heads high!”

The Grand Elder was beaming, almost unable to suppress the joy in his heart.

It had been so long, several tournaments, since Qingyuan Sect had entered the top ten.

In the previous three tournaments, they had even been at the very bottom each time.

This time, they had finally reversed their decline.

“It’s a good thing I listened to Wu Wuji back then and chose Han Li, this promising talent. Excellent, truly excellent!”

Looking at Han Li, who appeared on the central Formation, the Grand Elder’s back straightened a few inches.

“To have such strength after Cultivating for two years, it seems that in the future, my Qingyuan Sect will surely gain another God Realm Supreme!”

A thought flashed through his mind.

Judging from Han Li’s performance, the Grand Elder believed he could definitely reach the God Realm in the future.

At that time, the overall strength of Qingyuan Sect would greatly improve.

Completely surpassing Tianxuan Sect and Golden Spirit Sect.

A top-tier Supreme, his influence would be extraordinary.

First Wu Wuji, then Han Li.

These two peerless Prodigies would undoubtedly be the future pillars of Qingyuan Sect!

…The battle ended, and Han Li returned to his seat.

This battle was considered a small goal accomplished.

After one round, he would be ranked at least sixth.

However, to advance further would be a very difficult process.

Nie Cangqiong of Cangjian Palace was, so far, the strongest.

But Tai Xuan Sect’s Disciples were not to be underestimated either. Among the few extreme realm Disciples,

One person was also one of his targets of attention.

Qin Wushuang!

This person also possessed a special Physique, the Primordial Spirit Holy Body!

This Physique allowed for extremely fast Cultivation and comprehension of martial arts, and his strength was equally unfathomable.

Far surpassing ordinary extreme realm Disciples.

He was a Prodigy among Prodigies!

As for who was stronger between him and Nie Cangqiong, no one knew before they fought.

However, analyzing from the data, he felt that Nie Cangqiong was slightly better.

Of course, this was just his data analysis.

From previous battles, Qin Wushuang had also displayed many martial arts Divine Abilities.

This person Cultivated a great many martial arts Divine Abilities, and Tai Xuan Sect was also stronger than the current Qingyuan Sect… “Tsk tsk, these two guys are putting on a show…”

Looking at the battle in the Void Mirror, Han Li suddenly felt a sense of dullness.

Fist to flesh, it looked thrilling, but in his eyes, it was purely an act.

However, being from the same Sect, it was naturally different from fighting outsiders.

After a short while, the battle ended, and the last person voluntarily conceded.

“Fighting like this is just fooling around…” Bai Xiaoxiao pouted from the side.

“From the same School, they naturally wouldn’t go all out. It’s normal,” Yun Xi said.

“I wonder who will win the championship this time…” Bai Xiaoxiao sighed, and subconsciously, she glanced at Han Li.

Yun Xi’s gaze also turned to Han Li.

Feeling their gazes, Han Li also turned his head to look.

“Junior Brother Han, do you have the confidence to win the championship?” Bai Xiaoxiao blinked.

Han Li: “…”

“I think Junior Brother Han still has a lot of hope,” Yun Xi nodded.

Han Li: “(°ー°〃)”

You two Elders, you truly think highly of me.

He himself had no confidence in winning the championship.

Nie Cangqiong and Qin Wushuang, each of them was an existence that dominated the Innate Purple Qi Realm.

“I say, you two, can you not put so much pressure on Junior Brother Han? Being able to achieve his current ranking is already good.”

Zhou Yuan interjected from the side.

“Hey, just discussing, what’s the harm? Junior Brother, how confident are you in winning the championship?” Bai Xiaoxiao asked curiously.

“I have no confidence,” Han Li shook his head.

“Just do your best. Achieving your current results is already outstanding,” the Grand Elder suddenly spoke, looking at Han Li.

“Let’s wait and see; it will be revealed soon,” Yun Xi said.

Bai Xiaoxiao also closed her mouth… Six battles passed.

One round was considered complete.

Cangjian Palace had three people among the top six!

Tai Xuan Sect had two people among the top six!

And Qingyuan Sect had only Han Li alone!

The further it went, the higher the attention.

And among them, the most scrutinized was Han Li.

For so many years of the Nine Provinces Tournament, no one in the Innate Second Realm had ever made it into the top ten.

Han Li had broken a new record, so high attention was reasonable.

“Clang—!!”

A deep bell rang, echoing throughout the venue.

Thousands of eyes turned to the central mirror.

Two names appeared.

One of them was Han Li.

The other was a Disciple from Cangjian Palace.

The two rose simultaneously, stepped forward, and arrived above the central Formation.

The gaze of the entire venue instantly focused on the two in the center.

The atmosphere once again reached a new Peak.

Would Han Li break a new record?

Creating a new myth?!

The same thought arose in the minds of millions of people throughout the venue.

And outside the venue, more people also turned their attention to the venue.

Although not physically present in the venue, they could still feel an unprecedented anticipation.

If this battle was won, Han Li would once again break the myth.

From previous battles, Han Li also possessed very strong strength.

Reaching this step meant being among the top tier within the Innate Realm.

Light rose, and the figures of the two simultaneously entered the Formation.

Innumerable eyes watched the two figures in the mirror.

Without any superfluous words, the two entered, directly unleashing their respective martial arts Divine Abilities, and instantly began to fight.

“He can definitely hold on…”

Watching the battle in the mirror, the Grand Elder subconsciously clenched his fists.

Watching Han Li fight made him more nervous than being there himself.

In the venue, in the Supreme seating area, dozens of Supremes also watched the battle in the mirror.

“His Physical Body is very powerful, but I don’t know what Physique it is…”

A God Realm Supreme spoke.

He was a top-tier giant from a super noble family.

“It shouldn’t be a special Physique. Perhaps he Cultivated some extremely powerful body-tempering martial arts, which is why he’s so strong!”

Another God Realm Supreme said.

“The phenomenon that appears when he unleashes his martial arts, should it be the Ancient Dragon Elephant?”

“This martial arts might be a body-tempering martial arts based on the Ancient Dragon Elephant.”

A purple-robed old woman spoke, and the eyes of the other God Realm Supremes narrowed.

Ancient Dragon Elephant.

That was an extremely terrifying Vicious Beast.

Known as one of the Ten Primordial Fiends!

Today, such terrifying giant beasts were almost impossible to find. In the Five Continents, it seemed only the Central Continent still had an existing Ancient Dragon Elephant, and it was also a guardian beast of a Holy Land-level force, comparable to a Supreme Paragon.

“It seems this person also has quite an Opportunity…”

Thoughts arose in the minds of several God Realm Supremes, feeling very shocked, but on the surface, no change in expression could be seen.

Wu Wuji quietly watched the battle, listening to the discussions around him, and a hint of unusualness appeared in the depths of his pupils.

His Junior Brother being so powerful was truly an unexpected surprise.

“Master, you can rest in peace…”

A thought flashed through Wu Wuji’s mind.

As the last Junior Brother, being able to surpass his other Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, Han Li’s performance made Wu Wuji feel extremely gratified.

If Master were still alive and could see such an outstanding Disciple, he would surely be happy.

But unfortunately, Master had already passed away… —

“If he were from my Tianlong Temple, how great would that be…” Outside the venue, on the top floor of a pavilion, Tang Sanzang sighed in his heart as he watched the venue’s mirror.

“Should I tell Master to forcibly bring him back and take him as a Disciple?” A thought arose in Tang Sanzang’s mind.

“With Master’s strength and Cultivation, a mere Qingyuan Sect certainly couldn’t stop him. However, doing so would inevitably create a rift. Let’s just forget about it…”

Thoughts flashed like lightning, Tang Sanzang suppressed the idea, and his gaze shifted to another direction, a pagoda several miles away.

After a glance, Tang Sanzang withdrew his gaze and turned it back to the Nine Provinces Tournament… “So strong… I’m afraid even if I personally intervened now, I might not be able to subdue him. I need to find a suitable Opportunity. Qingyuan Sect still has Wu Wuji. If we attack forcibly, it will inevitably disrupt the Cult Leader’s grand plan and alarm the Nine Provinces. If they unite, it will be troublesome…”

Inside the pagoda, the Holy Mother’s brows were tightly furrowed, and a worried expression appeared on her face.

“Let’s wait. As long as the Cult Leader’s plan succeeds, then, when we launch a full assault, killing him won’t be a problem…”

A thought turned, and thinking of this, the Holy Mother’s worried expression disappeared, returning to calmness.

—

“Bang—!”

The air exploded, a heavy punch, the ground cracked and mountains collapsed, dust billowed.

A figure flew backward, spitting fresh blood, smashing through a ten-foot-thick stone wall. The divine light in his eyes instantly dimmed, and his life force dropped to an extreme low.

Completely incapacitated!

Struggling to get out, he spat out another mouthful of fresh blood, and his swaying body completely collapsed.

Han Li looked at the unconscious Disciple in front of him, slowly exhaling a turbid breath.

The Disciple from Cangjian Palace was very strong.

It took Han Li two incense sticks’ time to resolve the fight, and his True Qi was also greatly consumed.

“Fortunately, the Earth Emperor Art’s True Qi is abundant and pure. Otherwise, it would have been even harder to deal with…”

Looking at the unconscious Cangjian Palace Disciple, a thought flashed through Han Li’s mind.

In the next instant, the Void radiated light, and the figures of the two instantly disappeared within the spatial Formation… “Victory!”

The Grand Elder and his group from Qingyuan Sect showed excited and thrilled expressions.

This victory meant they had entered the top three.

How long had it been since they last made it into the top three?

Was it the fifth or sixth session?

Watching Han Li return to his seat, the Grand Elder immediately stood up and handed him a top-grade Medicinal Pill for recovery.

“Rest well!”

The Grand Elder's face was beaming with enthusiasm; if it weren't for everyone present staring, he would have loved to kiss him.

This was simply the Qingyuan Sect's treasure!

If he had known Han Li was so formidable, he would have gone all out, even if it meant fighting Feng Taixu to the death back then.

Although it was a pity, Han Li was, after all, a Disciple of the Qingyuan Sect.

Even though he wasn't his own Disciple, it was just a slight regret and didn't affect much.

Han Li took the Medicinal Pill, swallowed it, and quickly recovered the True Qi consumed within his Physical Body.

The further they progressed, the more crucial it was to maintain Peak condition.

“Damn it, where did such a Prodigy from the Qingyuan Sect come from? Why haven't I heard of him before?”

The hearts of everyone from the other great Sects were filled with curiosity.

For most people, this Nine Provinces Tournament was the first time they had heard of Han Li.

Even if some had information, they hadn't paid much attention; how formidable could a Xiantian Second Realm be?

Simply due to the difference in strength, any Extreme Realm Disciple could easily crush him.

But now, wasn't the situation completely reversed?

Was he truly a Martial Artist of the Innate Qi Realm?

Wasn't this a bit too outrageous?

If he were to enter the Innate Purple Qi Realm, who could stand against him?

Even the former Wu Wuji, when facing this person in the same realm, would have to admit defeat.

The people from the Twelve Sects looked at Han Li, and the eyes of several Grand Elders turned red.

Heaven is unfair!

Why didn't such a powerful Disciple appear in their own Sect?

The Qingyuan Sect already had one Wu Wuji, and now, even more, a Prodigy even greater than Wu Wuji.

A Xiantian Second Realm making it to the semifinals!

Another record broken.

—

One round of battles had completely concluded.

Only three remained:

Nie Cangqiong, Qin Wushuang, and Han Li!

In the Supreme seating area, the gazes of dozens of Supremes fell upon the three.

“I remember that the Qingyuan Sect hasn't reached this level for several sessions. It seems this time, they've accumulated their strength and are now unleashing it,” a family Supreme commented.

“A Sect with two heroes, with Elder Wu before and now this Han Li, the Qingyuan Sect seems poised for great prosperity,” another family Supreme said with a smile.

Wu Wuji remained silent, and the Supremes of the Twelve Sects showed no change in expression.

However, most of their gazes were fixed on Han Li.

This fellow had indeed exceeded everyone's expectations.

This wasn't merely about talent, but his own strength, which he had fought hard to achieve.

Talent was just one factor.

Genius, everyone who could participate in the Nine Provinces Tournament was a Genius.

And Han Li was even more outstanding.

Defeating multiple Extreme Realm Supremes in a row, this level of strength was truly not to be underestimated.

“Clang—!!”

The deep sound of a bell rang out, and everyone's spirits were lifted at that moment.

On the Void mirror, two names appeared:

Qin Wushuang, Han Li!

As their names appeared, all eyes simultaneously focused on the two of them.

“Will he stop here or continue to break through to the extreme?”

Looking at Han Li, the same thought emerged in everyone's mind.

Han Li rose, took a step, and directly arrived on the central Formation.

Soon, Qin Wushuang's figure also descended.

With sword-like brows and starry eyes, dressed in white, with well-defined features, he was a strikingly handsome man.

In terms of appearance, Han Li was somewhat inferior.

He wasn't born as handsome, but he was still of above-average good looks; however, his Physique was overly burly, even more so than an average adult man.

His clothes could hardly conceal his strong and robust Physical Body.

Light rose, and the figures of the two instantly vanished from their original positions, entering the spatial Formation.

All eyes were also completely focused on them.

A clash of the strong!

Qin Wushuang's strength was also evident to all, surpassing that of an ordinary Extreme Realm Martial Artist.

He was the Tai Xuan Sect's champion candidate.

Who would win or lose, no one dared to speculate until the result was known... Surrounded by green mountains, Han Li and Qin Wushuang stood in a huge valley.

The distance between them was less than ten zhang.

Their gazes met, and a powerful Aura emanated from both of them.

Looking at Qin Wushuang, Han Li's black hair moved without wind.

Unlike the Extreme Realm Disciples he had fought before, from his Aura alone, Han Li could already sense his strength.

This was going to be a great battle.

Whether he could win, based on feeling alone, it was impossible to tell.

They were evenly matched, equally strong!

This gap was not so easy to control.

“You are very powerful. In the past, besides Wu Wuji and Nie Cangqiong, you should be the third person I've met,” Qin Wushuang said, his voice ringing out.

“You are the fifth powerful person I've met so far,” Han Li's voice also sounded.

The two seemed amicable, but the Aura around them was constantly rising, and hidden power was fiercely brewing.

“The fifth… it seems you've seen quite a few,” a glint flashed in Qin Wushuang's eyes.

“A Genius with a special Physique, you should be my first opponent,” Han Li said.

“You should be too, right?” Qin Wushuang asked.

“I am merely an ordinary Physical Body,” Han Li said faintly.

“An ordinary Physical Body that can reach your level, perhaps even a special Physique might not be able to compare,” Qin Wushuang smiled.

“Physique is merely an amplification, a part of strength. With more Cultivation, it can be compensated. An ordinary Physical Body can also be unrivaled!” Han Li's voice rang out.

“An ordinary Physical Body can also be unrivaled…”

Qin Wushuang murmured, the light in his eyes brightening slightly.

“Very good, you have confidence, I like it,” Qin Wushuang smiled, and the next second, a powerful True Qi erupted, and purple light bloomed.

“Try my Senluo King Fist!”

As the voice rang out, the air was compressed, as if it had collapsed, and a terrifying Qi wave swept over.

A hand shot out like lightning, containing infinite power.

“Roar—!”

Golden and purple light instantly erupted from Han Li's body, and a phantom of an Ancient Dragon Elephant roared, as if a true Vicious Beast had descended, and he also swiftly unleashed a punch.

“Boom—!!!”

The attacks of the two collided in an instant, and visible Qi waves impacted all around.

The vegetation in the valley was instantly pulverized, and the shockwave swept through, causing the surrounding mountains to tremble, and rumbling sounds echoed.

One strike, mountains collapsed and the earth cracked!

Amidst the dust, the figures of the two simultaneously retreated, and in the next breath, they attacked at the same time.

“Bang bang bang!!!”

In the valley, sounds of collision echoed. Two streaks of light intertwined, and the power unleashed by their martial arts and Divine Ability continuously destroyed the trembling mountains around them, making them shake even more violently.

The shockwaves, like ocean tides, surged, and the surrounding mountains could no longer withstand it, collapsing over large areas.

Fists shook mountains and rivers, power shattered the earth!

“Boom!!!”

A heaven-shattering sound erupted, and from the shattered valley, two streaks of light soared into the sky.

From the ground, they fought their way into the sky.

Ben Lei Fist and Dragon Elephant Divine Fist erupted without hesitation.

The power of these two martial arts, evolved into Divine Ability, was displayed to its fullest in Han Li's hands.

The defense of the Overlord Body Golden Body was terrifying; Han Li made almost no defense, meeting force with force.

As soon as they started, the battle between the two pushed to its Peak.

Their attacks were relentless, and the fluctuations of True Qi power collapsing the air.

The two fought in the sky, and wherever they went, mountains shattered.

The tide was like a flood invading everything.

Within his flesh and blood, seven Dragon Elephant Divine Embryos roared, and twenty-three Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryos also let out roars.

Under full activation, Han Li unleashed his ultimate power.

In terms of power collision, he even gained a slight upper hand.

“Boom—!!!”

With one collision, the figures of the two separated in mid-air.

Standing in the Void Realm, powerful True Qi entwined around their bodies, their Aura fully unleashed.

Under the fierce confrontation, Han Li's Overlord Body Golden Body felt somewhat unable to withstand it, his internal organs vibrated, and his Qi and blood churned.

A trace of blood also spilled from the corner of Qin Wushuang's mouth.

However, the recovery ability of his special Physique was also astonishing.

“Senluo Vientiane!”

A powerful Aura erupted from within Qin Wushuang, his True Qi instantly activated, and behind him, a ghostly Aura seemed to emerge. An extremely powerful martial arts erupted, instantly striking out.

Wherever the Aura reached, the Void Realm froze.

Han Li's gaze was solemn, and he instantly activated Dragon Elephant Divine Fist.

In the state of full Overlord Body activation, his Dragon Elephant Divine Fist was also at its strongest.

“Roar—!”

A clear Dragon roar echoed through heaven and earth, transforming into a golden seal, charging out.

The strongest strike collided!

Space instantly shattered, cracks appeared, and within ten li, a visible Qi wave pulverized everything.

Tall mountains and forests crumbled.

“Boom!!!”

Heaven and earth collapsed, rivers ceased to flow.

The figures of the two were submerged within, seemingly perishing together.

In the next breath, the two appeared from the dust.

Light flashed, and from the sky, they fought their way back to the ground.

In close combat, Qin Wushuang's martial arts emerged endlessly, and the power unleashed caused even the Overlord Body Golden Body to experience strong vibrations.

However, that was all.

Their attacks were like lightning.

Within dozens of breaths, the two had exchanged blows no less than hundreds of times.

The faster they fought, the stronger their Aura became... “Spectacular!”

In the venue, pairs of eyes watched the fierce battle, each becoming incredibly excited.

Absolutely brilliant!

It was truly an eye-opener!

The top-tier clash of Innate.

Various martial arts, dazzling to behold.

Looking at the mirror, they couldn't even bear to blink, fearing they might miss something... “Boom—!!!”

Lightning bloomed, and a terrifying Aura destroyed everything around. A hundred-zhang mountain Peak was instantly obliterated, completely collapsing.

The figures of the two separated; blood also spilled from the corner of Han Li's mouth, and his Aura trembled.

His internal organs had suffered some damage.

Qin Wushuang was not in a much better state, also injured, but for both of them, the problems were not significant.

Separated by a hundred zhang, their gazes met.

“I have a move, Eight Desolations Suppress Demons. If you can withstand it and still stand, then I concede defeat.”

Qin Wushuang's voice rang out.
