181: Heavenly Golden Sword Technique

"What! Is he crazy? Is he going to give up his spot?" Almost everyone at the scene had this reaction. Even those in the Heaven Realm couldn't withstand Jiang Ye for long, yet he, a ninth-stage Profound Breaking Realm, wanted to challenge him?

Jiang Ye flickered and stood opposite the young man, saying, "What is your name?"

"Zhu Donghai!"

"Everyone only has one chance to challenge, you know that, right?"

"I know! We are about the same age, but I really want to know just how big the gap between me and you is."

"We could spar off-stage. If you lose here, you won't be able to represent the Southern Domain in the Four Domains Grand Competition or join a Profound Realm power."

"It doesn't matter! I like freedom and don't want to join any power and get too involved."

Jiang Ye nodded and said, "Fine! We are a whole major realm apart. I will only use one elemental Cultivation Technique to fight you. If you can withstand ten moves, I'll give you my domain token."

"Good! Make your move!"

A long flaming blade instantly appeared in Jiang Ye's hand. "Blazing Slash!"

Swoosh! He rushed toward Zhu Donghai at extreme speed.

Zhu Donghai had already prepared his strongest defense. Facing such a powerful opponent, he had no choice but to go all out.

"Ninefold Golden Shield!"

Nine massive golden shields appeared, blocking the way in front of him. At that moment, Jiang Ye's flaming blade had already slashed down.

Bang, bang, bang... "Ugh, ah!!"

With one powerful slash, the nine golden shields were destroyed almost instantly. Zhu Donghai was nearly slashed right off the combat stage, barely managing to stay on the edge.

"So strong!" Zhu Donghai was extremely surprised. As expected, experiencing it personally was different from just watching!

Jiang Ye said, "Brother! I held back quite a bit of strength in that slash just now. I'm guessing that was already your strongest defense?"

"Yes! I... I know my strength is truly too far from yours, but I still want to strike once with my sword. Could you grant me that?"

"Fine, come! If you can shake me, I'll consider it your win."

Zhu Donghai gathered his strength, preparing an all-or-nothing move. "Ah..." Golden Sword Qi soared into the sky as a massive golden sword formed in the air.

"This is my strongest sword strike. Being able to exchange blows with you makes this trip worth it!"

"Good! Make your move!"

"Heavenly Gold Sword Art, Nine Heavens Sword Astral!"

A sharp Aura made everyone in the audience feel a sense of oppression.

The massive golden sword hacked directly down toward Jiang Ye. He simply stomped his left foot, and a powerful flaming Aura rose up.

"Flame Dragon Shield!" A massive shield of fire formed.

Instantly, the giant sword and the giant shield collided. Bang!!! A world-shaking explosion rang out, and flames scattered across the vast combat stage. The scorching shockwave produced by this collision spread throughout the venue. Fortunately, everyone had prepared in time, and no one was injured.

The massive golden sword slowly dissipated, but the Flame Dragon Shield remained perfectly intact. Zhu Donghai dropped to one knee; that strike had exhausted almost all of his power.

Zhu Donghai suddenly laughed loudly, "Hahaha! It was worth it, it was worth it! Being able to exchange two moves with the killing god of the southern domain is worth far more than joining some Profound Realm power."

Jiang Ye was stunned. What kind of weird nickname was that? He had become the killing god of the southern domain? Seeing Zhu Donghai preparing to walk off the stage, he called out to him.

"Wait! Take my domain token!" Jiang Ye directly threw a domain token to him.

Zhu Donghai was stunned. He looked at Jiang Ye and asked in confusion, "What do you mean? I couldn't even shake you in the slightest just now."

"Go participate in the Four Domains Grand Competition. I've already taken out several people from the Profound Realm powers; there's no meaning in me competing anymore."

"Then you won't be able to escape. Are you planning to go straight to war with the Profound Realm powers when the time comes?"
