364: Dao Zun Duel

Soon, another half month passed.

The God Emperor Ranking Battle, which lasted nearly half a year, finally concluded, with Cang Yu unsurprisingly taking the first place.

However, Ming Yao, due to severe injuries, lost several matches consecutively, even to a powerful Late Stage God Emperor Prodigy, ultimately ranking sixth.

This made his expression increasingly grim. He had initially thought that with his talent and strength, he would easily win this Prodigy competition and rise to fame, but the outcome was unexpected.

His heart was filled with unwillingness and resentment as he looked at Cang Yu, who had become the focus of everyone's attention, a chilling killing intent flashing in his eyes.

With the God Emperor competition over, the Dao Lord Grand Competition was next, and the lively atmosphere in the great hall surged up a notch.

Especially the God Emperor Prodigies whose cultivation was still below the Dao Lord Realm, their eyes were blazing, filled with anticipation and longing.

In the God Race, although God Emperor cultivation was considered good and was a powerful individual wherever they went,

in the eyes of the high-level figures of the God Race, a God Emperor was nothing. Only Dao Lord (Divine Venerable) powerhouses who had stepped into the Great Dao Divine Domain were the true pillars of the entire God Race and truly worthy of attention.

These Supreme Prodigies who had stepped into the Great Dao Divine Domain at such a young age were undoubtedly dazzling existences.

They were not just Prodigies; they were true powerhouses!

Dao-Grade powerhouses were already capable of freely traversing the Nine Heavens.

As for these God Emperor Realm Prodigies, relative to the entire Nine Heavens, they were even less significant, and it was uncertain whether they could even successfully advance to the Dao Lord Realm in the future.

Without entering the Great Dao Divine Domain, one was ultimately an ant!

On the white jade divine altar, Wu Ning also felt a rise of interest. Compared to the minor skirmishes of the God Emperor Realm, battles in the Dao Lord Realm were undoubtedly much more worth watching.

Those in the Dao Lord Realm had already Cultivated their own Origin Dao. Battles between them were more about the collision of their respective Origin Dao, which could also be considered a form of practical Dao discussion.

Watching such battles might yield some insights and gains.

After all, everyone's Dao was unique. Regardless of those strange Origin Dao, even with the same Spatial Dao, everyone's Cultivated Spatial Origin Dao had its unique aspects based on their Aptitude, Comprehension Ability, and experiences.

There was also a distinction of strength and weakness!

How could the Origin Dao Cultivated by a relatively 'mediocre Aptitude' Dao Lord, even if it was the same kind, compare to the Origin Dao Cultivated by a top Prodigy?

The Great Dao Divine Domain also valued Aptitude.

Although most top talents in the world, such as divine bodies, saint bodies, Supreme Bloodlines, and innate Divine Abilities, exhausted their potential after entering the Great Dao Divine Domain and no longer held any advantages, there was still the concept of natural Aptitude and Comprehension Ability in the world.

No matter what stage of Cultivation one reached, excellent Comprehension Ability could always create a gap between individuals.

These Supreme Prodigies were basically individuals with Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability, and their comprehended Origin Dao was very much worth observing.

Even the high and mighty God Lords, along with a group of God Race Heavenly Monarchs, were now a bit more serious.

Not to mention the other Dao Lord powerhouses.

For the God Emperor Realm Prodigies below the Dao Lord Realm, this was an even greater Opportunity. If they could comprehend a trace of Origin Dao charm from it, it would undoubtedly be of great benefit to their future Dao comprehension and Cultivation.

At this moment, each of them was extremely serious, wide-eyed and ready to observe and comprehend.

Wu Ning had met the first Young Dao Venerable to enter the arena at the Prodigy gathering.

His opponent was a Moon God Race woman with peerless beauty, like a Nine Heavens goddess.

The two did not have as much hostility as the God Emperor Prodigies' clashes; they exchanged greetings before starting to fight.

Boom! Boom!

The two simultaneously unfolded their respective Great Dao Divine Domains, instantly colliding with each other. To quickly defeat an opponent in the Dao Lord Realm, this was undoubtedly the most direct method.

The collision of Origin Dao Divine Domains was infinitely more violent than the collision of God Emperor Dao power. After the collision, blinding Great Dao divine light erupted, as if time had frozen, and the entire world was silent. It was only after several breaths that a thunderous roar, like the sky collapsing and the earth sinking, deafened the ears.

At the same time, terrifying energy storms raged and swept wildly within the arena space, constantly impacting the barriers at the edge of the arena like towering waves. The invisible barrier, which had remained motionless, now showed faint ripples.

"Hiss! Dao Lord powerhouses are truly terrifying!"

Many God Emperor Prodigies watched with pounding hearts and tingling scalps.

If they were caught in it, they would probably be instantly torn to shreds by this terrifying energy storm.

Dao Lords were Dao Lords; with a single Move, they showed an insurmountable chasm of difference.

Originally, some people had seen Wu Ning easily severely injure a Dao Lord with a single glance at the Prodigy gathering, and could not help but feel the illusion that Dao Lord powerhouses were nothing special.

Now, they suddenly woke up, realizing that Dao Lords were still terrifying. With every Move, they possessed the great power to destroy heaven and earth, and suppressing a mere God Emperor was effortless. They were absolutely not to be underestimated.

After realizing this, they suddenly became aware of Wu Ning's terror.

Severely injuring a Dao Lord with a single glance was definitely not because that Young Dao Venerable of the Asura God Clan was too weak, but because Wu Ning was too strong!

He was terrifying beyond their wildest imagination, by countless times.

Simply unfathomable!

"Boom! Boom!"

At this moment, the two on the arena once again unleashed their Origin Dao power towards each other. Their figures flashed rapidly, their speed comparable to instantaneous movement. Even with their eyes wide open, the God Emperor Prodigies could not see clearly.

Wu Ning watched the battle on stage with great interest. The first Young Dao Venerable to appear Cultivated the Five Elements Dao, while the Moon God Race woman Cultivated the Yin and Yang Dao.

Both the Five Elements and Yin and Yang were among the top Heaven and Earth Dao.

Their collision was quite interesting.

Wu Ning had little involvement with these two top Dao, and at this moment, he also observed them carefully.

However, the Five Elements and Yin and Yang of these two were still in their rudimentary stages. The former was more skilled in the Earth and Metal Dao within the Five Elements, and the latter was more skilled in the Grand Yin Dao within Yin and Yang.

After all, they were just two young Lesser Extremity Dao Venerables, and their journey into the Origin Dao was still in its initial exploratory phase.

The battle between the two went back and forth, without too many flashy Moves, but every Move contained the power of the Origin Dao, and each Move was comparable to a Divine Ability or Spell.

This great battle lasted a full month before concluding. To the surprise of many, it was ultimately the seemingly delicate Moon God Race woman who emerged victorious.

The loser stepped down, and the winner entered the ranking battle.

Subsequently, the other Young Dao Venerables successively took to the stage to compete.

There were only less than twenty people in total, all Lesser Extremity Dao Venerables, with similar talent and strength. Each match required at least one or two months to determine a winner.

However, at this point, no one felt that time was passing slowly.

Compared to the lively scene during the God Emperor competition, the Dao Lord competition was extremely quiet.

Everyone in the hall was observing carefully, with focused expressions and wide-open eyes, fearing they would miss a single Move.
