132: One strike, and the innate is defeated!

The Heavenly Mountain Sect's Xiantian-level Martial Arts Stage was the largest Martial Arts Stage within the Heavenly Mountain Sect.

It was built within a vast valley and covered an enormous area. If converted to units from his previous life, it would likely be at least hundreds of thousands of square meters. Though called a Martial Arts Stage, it was actually more like a small continent.

After all, the strength of Xiantian Masters was incredibly powerful; their Physical Body speed could easily exceed twice the speed of sound, and with a single sway of their bodies, they could cross hundreds of meters.

If the Martial Arts Stage were built too small, it would be like two elephants fighting in a small box, leaving them with no room to maneuver at all.

Thus, as early as the founding of the Heavenly Mountain Sect, this largest valley within the Tianshan Mountains was selected as the dedicated venue for the sect's Xiantian Masters to engage in martial combat.

At this moment, upon this Martial Arts Stage, countless seats along the mountain walls on both sides were already filled with various Disciples and Elders of the Heavenly Mountain Sect.

Everyone was either excited, expectant, or holding a wait-and-see attitude, while others sneered as they waited for the great battle between Lin Yi and Chu Chuan.

Finally—

"Clang!"

Along the edge of the Martial Arts Stage, a bronze bell several zhang tall and weighing ten thousand jin was casually struck by an aged, white-haired Xiantian Grand Elder.

Then, the Xiantian Grand Elder shouted:

"I announce that the duel between Grand Elder Chu Chuan of the Heavenly Mountain Sect and Tianshan Pavilion Disciple Lin Yi has officially begun. Now, I invite both parties to take the stage!"

"Swoosh!"

As soon as the Xiantian Elder finished speaking, a streak of black light flashed across the spectator stands on both sides.

In the next moment, Chu Chuan, dressed in black with an expression of immense pride, arrived on the Martial Arts Stage. With his hands behind his back, he shouted at Lin Yi with the bearing of a Xiantian Grandmaster:

"Lin Yi, take the stage! Let's finish this quickly so you can hand over emperor wus final edict to me sooner."

"Hand emperor wus final edict to you?"

Hearing this, Lin Yi smiled calmly:

"I think it should be you giving me one billion taels of silver instead."

After speaking, Lin Yi took a light step and transformed into a streak of white light, landing on the stage as well, facing off against Chu Chuan from hundreds of meters away.

"Give you one billion taels of silver? You're looking for death!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Chuan's expression turned cold, and he said:

"Originally, seeing how sensible you were, I intended to let you hold out for a few more moves to save you some face."

"But I didn't expect you to be so arrogant. A mere First Rank actually dares to challenge a dignified Xiantian like me."

"Fine! Since that's the case, I'll let you, you insolent brat, know what a true Xiantian is!"

"Boom!"

As soon as Chu Chuan finished speaking, a powerful and terrifying Aura suddenly erupted from his body.

Terrible Xiantian True Essence churned the Void Realm, pressing down ruthlessly toward Lin Yi.

For an ordinary First-Rank Martial Artist, their strength would likely be reduced by over fifty percent instantly under the pressure of this terrifying Xiantian True Essence alone.

Fortunately, Lin Yi was no ordinary First Rank; not only had his cultivation reached the limit of the First Rank, but his Force Exertion Realm had also reached the fourth level of Perfection.

In this situation, even without considering his "King of Battle" talent or his terrifying Martial Arts Techniques that surpassed many Grandmasters of the Innate True Essence Realm, his strength remained at the very top among First-Rank Martial Artists.

Thus, despite being pressured by this terrifying Xiantian True Essence, Lin Yi's body merely trembled slightly. His powerful Blood-Qi Power combined with his Force Exertion Realm instantly shattered Chu Chuan's essence pressure, causing the move to dissipate into nothingness.

"You indeed have some strength, no wonder you dare to be so arrogant, but it ends here."

"In the eyes of a Xiantian expert, there is no place for a lowly First Rank like you. Defeat!"

Seeing this, Chu Chuan gave a cold shout and suddenly attacked.

Suddenly...

"Moo"

Accompanied by a strange sound echoing through the field, in the next instant, a majestic Divine Being dozens of zhang tall, holding a precious seal and clad in golden armor, appeared behind Chu Chuan. Like a deity descending to the world, it glared at Lin Yi with wide, angry eyes.

Finally, it moved the great seal and smashed it down toward Lin Yi!

Major Achievement-level Innate Medium Grade martial art, "Divine Being's World-Suppressing Seal," First Form — One Seal to Sever Life and Death!

"Rumble!"

On the Martial Arts Stage, as the seal fell, layers of air were instantly beaten into clouds of mist that exploded outward.

Layers of space seemed to be directly blown apart under this seal. Boundless force, boundless power, mixed with the boundless mysteries of Innate martial arts, all smashed ruthlessly toward Lin Yi.

"So powerful! It's truly too powerful!"

Seeing this scene, the surrounding Disciples couldn't help but cry out in alarm:

"Is this the might of a Xiantian? It's truly terrifying!"

"Compared to a Xiantian Grandmaster, those First Rank and Second-Rank Martial Artists are simply trash! Xiantian strength is too terrifying! How does Senior Brother Lin Yi dare to challenge a Xiantian!"

"Yeah! Senior Brother Lin Yi was really too overconfident this time."

"Senior Brother Lin Yi is going to lose!"

The Disciples lamented one after another, while some Elders sneered, saying Lin Yi was overestimating himself, and even said some harsher things.

However, on the Martial Arts Stage, facing this terrifying seal, Lin Yi's face remained cold, with no hint of fear in his eyes. He simply held his long saber, and then... "Clang!"

In the void, accompanied by the ring of a blade, Lin Yi suddenly drew his saber. The Innate Medium Grade star origin saber in his hand instantly transformed into ten thousand streaks of saber light, forming a brilliant river of saber light in nearly a heartbeat.

Within the star river, tiny stars circulated, each containing countless saber intents, countless mysteries, and boundless power!

Great Perfection-level Innate Low Grade martial art, "Star River Myriad Forms Saber," Ninth Form — One Strike Slashes the Star River!

"Boom!"

The star river of saber light formed and immediately collided with the great seal struck down by the majestic Divine Being in the void.

In the next moment—

"Whoosh!"

Like a hot knife cutting through butter.

Under this brilliant saber light, the great seal in the Divine Being's hand was instantly sliced in two by the star river saber light.

Then followed the Divine Being's hand, its body, and finally, the entire Divine Being!

"No! This is impossible!"

Seeing this, Chu Chuan's eyes widened, and he let out a roar.

But before his roar could subside, he felt a vast and endless power surging from the star river of saber light, which then shattered his Divine Being with an overwhelmingly powerful strike.

It also sent him flying back directly!

"Xiantian is nothing more than this!"

Seeing this, on the Martial Arts Stage, Lin Yi held his long saber and spoke calmly, as if he had just done something trivial.

On the spectator stands, seeing this scene, everyone... instantly exploded with excitement!
