428: Chapter 428 Evenly Matched

Half an hour later,

The candidates for both sides were finally decided.

The three duels would take place simultaneously, so each side put forward three people.

On the Liu Clan side—

For the Void Refining Realm, Great Protector Liu Tianci, Late Void Refining Stage.

As soon as this name was announced, many people on the Liu Clan side nodded slightly.

Liu Tianci is the number one person in the Void Refining Realm of the Liu Clan Immortal Family; his strength is beyond doubt.

With him stepping out, this match is secure.

For the Soul Transformation Realm, Second Elder Liu Jinfeng, currently at the Late Soul Transformation Stage.

Liu Jinfeng is firmly ranked in the top three among the Liu Clan's Soul Transformation Cultivators.

Although the Liu Clan has no shortage of prodigies, and Liu Ruyan's batch have all broken through to Soul Transformation, when it comes to actual combat and ruthlessness, it still has to be her.

For the Nascent Soul Realm, the Third Elder, the one with the appearance of a boy, is now at the Late Nascent Soul Stage.

Among the Liu Clan's Nascent Soul generation, there were originally other prodigies, but unfortunately, none of them are present.

The previous generation of prodigies, like Liu Ruyan and her peers, have just broken through to Soul Transformation and cannot participate.

Therefore, the Third Elder taking the field is considered one of the top three in terms of strength among the Nascent Soul Cultivators.

The Liu Clan is very satisfied with this lineup.

One could even say they are full of confidence.

And on the Ziyang Star side—

For the Void Refining Realm, Sword Nameless is personally taking action.

He is also at the Late Void Refining Stage and is an Old Ancestor.

But everyone knows the weight of a Sword Cultivator.

As soon as Sword Nameless stood up, the gazes around him changed.

The number one person on Ziyang Star; this title is not just for show.

Even when Liu Qingtian's gaze fell upon him, a trace of unfathomable emotion flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Sword Cultivators...

The upper echelons of the Liu Clan seem to always have an indescribable... dread of Sword Cultivators.

Liu Tianci himself has a grave expression at this moment.

Perhaps it is because of that "immortal slaying sword".

That sword which makes their Liu Clan fearful.

For the Soul Transformation Realm, Jitian, Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, is currently at the Late Soul Transformation Stage.

Among the Ziyang Star Soul Transformation Cultivators, he is the only one who can be brought out.

For the Nascent Soul Realm, Sect Master Lin Haotian, currently exactly at the Late Nascent Soul Stage.

This name is known by only a very few people.

The number one Genius of the younger generation of Ziyang Star.

Regardless of Realm, strength, or Heart-Nature, he is the most suitable.

The candidates are confirmed.

No wasted words.

Six figures soared into the sky simultaneously.

Everyone looked up.

The Nascent Soul battlefield is in mid-air.

The Soul Transformation battlefield is in the ten-thousand-mile firmament.

The Void Refining battlefield—it is already invisible, deep in the starry sky.

All three battles began simultaneously.

The fight between the Nascent Soul Cultivators is just ten thousand meters above everyone's heads. However, in the eyes of this group, it is nothing worth watching, and it will not cause any repercussions or harm to the entire Immortal City.

The Soul Transformation battlefield is in the firmament; one can see it by looking up, but it is already blurred. Occasionally, spiritual light bursts forth, like fireworks, flashing and vanishing.

As for the Void Refining... that is no longer something that can be seen with the naked eye.

Ninety-nine percent of the people present cannot see it.

Only a few people, their gazes penetrating layers of the Void Realm, landed on the two figures facing each other from afar in the starry sky.

You are among them.

You look up, gazing at that expanse of starry sky.

Very far. But you can see.

The two figures, separated by a thousand miles, stand in silent confrontation.

They have not yet made a move, but that invisible killing intent has already caused the surrounding stars to dim slightly.

You tilt your head back, your gaze shifting back and forth between the three battlefields.

Unlike others, you are very calm inside.

One could even say, a bit... distracted.

While watching the scenes of Spells exploding and Magic Treasures flying, you silently calculate the time in your heart.

"Hmm, it's about time, the timing should be just right."

Withdrawing your thoughts, you turn your gaze back to the three battlefields.

One has to admit—these three from the Liu Clan are indeed capable.

The Nascent Soul battlefield—

The boy and Sect Master Lin Haotian are entangled in a ball in mid-air.

What surprises you is that this boy's strength is more than a notch stronger than before.

In front of you, he was like a toddler who had just learned to walk.

Now, fighting Sect Master Lin Haotian, it is as if he has become a different person—various Spells are cast with ease, Magic Treasures are endless, and every move is aimed at taking a life.

A nine-story pagoda rises from above his head, the tower body shimmering with pale golden light, casting down curtains of light that protect him tightly.

At the same time, three Flying Swords fly out from his sleeves, forming a triangular formation, and strike at Sect Master Lin Haotian.

Those three Flying Swords are pitch black, with dense runes carved on the blades; every slash leaves a black mark in the void that does not dissipate for a long time.

Sect Master Lin Haotian, however, is not in a rush.

His body is enveloped in a layer of pale green light shield; no matter how the three black swords hack and slash, the light shield only sways slightly and never breaks.

He is defending; he has been defending all along.

You watch for a moment and roughly understand Sect Master Lin Haotian's intention—

He is waiting, waiting for the boy's sharp energy to be exhausted, waiting for the boy's flaws to be revealed, waiting for a chance for a one-hit kill.

But you always feel that things are not that simple.

Because you can feel a kind of... ruthlessness in the boy.

It is a kind of thing that is hidden very deeply but definitely exists.

It is like a string stretched to its limit, which could snap at any time, but before it breaks, it will definitely shatter something.

You estimate that even if Sect Master Lin Haotian wins in the end, he will likely be dragged down by the boy.

The final result might be a draw.

Next is the Soul Transformation battlefield.

Liu Jinfeng and Jitian are fighting in the ten-thousand-mile firmament.

The strength of the two is unexpectedly evenly matched.

The Yin-Yang Burning Heaven Diagram unfolds above Liu Jinfeng's head, one side is a world of frost frozen for ten thousand miles, the other side is a purgatory of raging fire burning everything.

Ice and fire intertwine, Yin and Yang rotate, and that Domain power presses the surrounding space into distortion and deformation.

If it were anyone else, they would have already been suppressed by this diagram.

But Jitian is able to hold steady.

His body is enveloped in a layer of ethereal sword light; that is the Hunyuan Sword Domain he has comprehended.

Sword light flows, Sword Qi runs rampant, and no matter how the Yin-Yang Burning Heaven Diagram crushes down, that sword Domain remains as steady as a rock.

The sword in his hand is no longer visible. Or rather, he himself is a sword.

Every flash of sword light that is slashed out carries the Perfection level Sword Law, cleaving through the ice, shattering the fire, and heading straight for Liu Jinfeng's face.

The two are fighting so intensely that the sky and earth are dark, and neither can do anything to the other.

You squint your eyes and watch for a while.

The outcome of this match is hard to predict.

"As expected, between Cultivators of the same Realm, if there are no overwhelming means, it is difficult to win in a short time."

You cannot help but sigh inwardly, and at the same time, you recall when you were in the Soul Transformation Realm—without using your strongest trump cards, you seemingly would not be a match for Liu Jinfeng either.

Thinking of this, you smile faintly, and you also develop a trace of admiration for Jitian's strength.
