259: Xu family

"Hahaha! What a thrill!"

Under everyone's gaze, the gold and silver colors separated, and Chen Hua burst into hearty laughter.

"Brother Chen, one move to decide the victor?"

Xu Yuan asked with a smile.

"Alright!"

Chen Hua nodded. If the two were to fight to the death, this grand battle would last for an unknown amount of time, so one move to decide the victor was the best solution.

As his words fell, the strong cultivators were in an uproar, but more so, they were pleasantly surprised!

Chen Hua sheathed his sword.

Then he closed his eyes and calmed his mind!

The previously clear sky began to turn pitch black at a visible speed.

Dark clouds covered the entire firmament, obscuring the sky and sun.

Immediately after, across hundreds of millions of miles of land, all living beings discovered that although it was daytime, all the stars had appeared, one after another, shining brightly in the sky.

The appearance of the stars transformed into a magnificent Star River world. At the same time, the heavens and earth rumbled, as if an ancient, slumbering existence was about to awaken!

"Star River Sword Canon! This is the Star River Sword Canon!"

Among the Martial Artists watching the battle, someone recognized it at a glance.

"The Star River Sword Palace's foundational ultimate technique!"

The others immediately realized that the Star River Sword Emperor had relied on this ultimate technique to slay three Great Emperors of the Myriad Races, dominating an era.

"Brother Xu, be careful, this is the Star River Sword Canon!" Chen Hua reminded him.

"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Chen!"

Xu Yuan smiled, then put away his nonchalant expression. The unique pressure of the Supreme Sword Body permeated, suppressing the world!

This terrifying pressure descended upon this land, spreading wantonly. For a moment, even Six-step Quasi-Emperor Great Masters couldn't help but change their expressions!

In the face of this terrifying and suffocating pressure, they felt as tiny as ants.

"Supreme Sword Body!"

The eyes of many Prodigies turned green, but then came a bitter smile. Before this person, they didn't even have the right to be jealous; all they felt was awe.

"Two Sword Dao Prodigies clashing, such a sight is rare!"

"Indeed, that's why I brought a recording stone. I imagine those Sword Cultivators, or the Prodigies on the Nanming Rankings, would pay a high price for such a battle scene!"

"Hehehe! Fellow Daoist and I are of the same mind..."

And amidst the discussions of the onlookers...

High in the sky, the two Sword Dao Prodigies made their move.

"Star River Sword Canon, Sixth Form: Myriad Stars of the Star River!"

Above the firmament, countless stars simultaneously erupted with brilliant divine light. Each Great Star cast down a beam of starlight. These beams were unparalleled in the world, stretching for unknown miles, astonishing and terrifying, causing the Martial Artists in the entire region to feel a tremor in their hearts, as if they were about to suffocate.

And the light beams from these myriad stars poured into Chen Hua's body. His Aura instantly surged, subtly showing an intention to Break through to an Eight-step Quasi-Emperor.

Once it surged to an extreme, he swung his sword, unleashing countless Star River sword shadows!

"Hiss! This old man actually feels the Aura of death!"

A Five-step Quasi-Emperor trembled all over. He felt that these sword shadows contained an extremely rich Star River Sword Dao. The Aura was so vast, the killing power so peerless, that any single one could easily slay an ordinary Five-step Quasi-Emperor!

"Go!"

"Chirp!"

Under Chen Hua's control, the sword shadows transformed into sword shadow Dragons, charging towards Xu Yuan!

However, facing this heaven-shattering strike, Xu Yuan appeared exceptionally calm. His body glowed, and streams of divine radiance flowed, forming a most unadorned sword mural. Within it were engraved tens of thousands of various runes, intertwined like a Star River, dazzling beyond compare.

Then, Xu Yuan's thoughts stirred, and a Divine Emperor's sword appeared in his hand!

Clang!

With one sword strike, a thousand runes on the mural behind him lit up, then intertwined, forming a terrifying attack that was unleashed with the momentum!

With a "clang," the two attacks collided. Various terrifying Sword Dao forces intertwined between them, fiercely clashing and constantly being born and destroyed.

This was a true Supreme Sword Dao, confronting each other. Various Sword Dao Origins flickered within, then annihilated, and terrifying killing intent permeated the air.

Under this single strike, the four directions trembled. A terrifying Aura permeated across hundreds of millions of miles, causing all living beings to fear, and the masses to shiver, involuntarily feeling panic.

With a "boom," the universe seemed to collapse.

Terrifying killing intent, vast and boundless, swept outwards endlessly.

"Pfft!"

The two Prodigies were the first to be impacted. Xu Yuan was engulfed by the terrifying attack, while Chen Hua spat out blood and was sent flying.

"Run!"

Innumerable strong cultivators watching changed their expressions and fled into the distance.

"Suppress!"

Just then, immeasurable sword light surged from the Star River Sword Palace. The rampaging, terrifying aftermath was instantly suppressed within a certain range.

Sword Dao power surged, emitting extremely powerful fluctuations. An area of a million miles was continuously destroyed, but under the suppression of the Star River Sword Palace's strong cultivators, it was constantly dispersed.

And as the smoke and dust cleared, Xu Yuan's figure appeared. Compared to Chen Hua, he maintained a nonchalant smile on his face!

"I lost!"

Chen Hua gave a bitter smile, not caring about the pain in his body.

He lost magnanimously!

"Brother Chen, where's my wine?"

Xu Yuan asked with a smile.

"As much as you want!"

The two looked at each other and laughed, then vanished into the depths of the Sword Palace.

"He won? This is Master Cangwu!"

The Martial Artists watching were shocked.

Under that kind of attack, even Chen Hua couldn't hold on, but Xu Yuan resisted it. Clearly, the latter still had reserves of strength!

Everyone understood that once this battle was publicized, Xu Yuan's reputation would reach another level.

Nandan Ancient City!

This ancient city is the headquarters of the Alchemist Guild in the Nanming Divine Continent. It is said that the most top-tier Alchemist Great Masters of the entire Divine Continent gather here.

It is said that the Guild Master is a High-level Pill Venerable, capable of refining Medicinal Pills for Quasi-Emperor Perfection Great Masters.

And in recent days, Nandan Ancient City is holding a grand event: the Grand Alchemy Competition.

This Grand Alchemy Competition is prepared for the young generation of Alchemy Dao Prodigies. It is said that the top ten participants, if they wish, can go to the Central Heaven Divine Continent and join the Alchemist General Guild, receiving full cultivation from the General Guild.

The top hundred can join the Nandan Guild and receive Guild cultivation!

If they are unwilling, they can receive generous rewards and a Guest Elder seat in the Nandan Guild.

Of course, there are also conditions: to participate, one must be under three million years old and a Saint Pill King-level Alchemist.

Currently, the Grand Alchemy Competition has already passed its first test, which was entering a Small World controlled by the Pill Guild, finding the medicinal herbs needed for refining, and then surviving and exiting.

This stage eliminated over eighty percent of the people, as some Alchemists generally have weak combat power.

The second stage is Alchemy.

Now, the Grand Alchemy Competition has reached the judging phase.

Before this, many Alchemists had been successively eliminated due to furnace explosions. Even if their furnaces didn't explode, they couldn't perform at their normal level due to injuries sustained in the Small World.

Only over a thousand people have managed to persevere to the end.

As the judging results for each contestant came in, the top hundred were decided.

Among them, an Alchemy new star named Xu Qian became well-known to everyone. Although he did not win the Alchemy championship, he still made it to sixth place in this competition, becoming the dark horse of this event.

And it is said that this child's bone age is extremely young, though the exact age is unknown to outsiders.

It is only known that the Nandan Guild Master even offered to take him as a disciple on the spot, but the offer was rejected.

This Alchemy Dao new star is preparing to go to the center of the continent, to the Holy Land in the hearts of Alchemists!

At the same time, in the Land of Chaos, a young man named Xu Ji also emerged, as the Young Palace Master of the Star Palace. With extremely powerful methods, he consecutively swept aside hundreds of young Prodigies in the Land of Chaos, becoming the number one Prodigy of the Land of Chaos.

Subsequently, in various places such as the Nanming Divine Continent, Xuanming Lake, Xi Yan Divine Continent, Dongxuan Divine Continent, and the Ancient Land of Heavenly Demons, several Xu-named Prodigies appeared.

Of course, due to the vastness of the various regions, these messages have not yet circulated...
