233: Your opponent is me

Liu Chen was clearly stunned for a moment, as it seemed true, just as the other party had said; no one had actually seen their Peak Great Emperor Realm Experts make a move.

"Even though they didn't make a move, their Elder did die at the hands of your people, after all. You should provide some compensation, right?"

Li Haotian nodded and rummaged around in his pockets for a long time.

The Chao Si Sect Elder stared intently at Li Haotian. After digging around in his pockets for ages, the other party finally pulled out a Spirit Stone and tossed it over.

"Take it."

As Li Haotian spoke, he fiercely threw the Spirit Stone in his hand. He used quite a bit of strength, and the Spirit Stone transformed into a streak of light, striking the face of the Chao Si Sect Elder, who hadn't even realized what was happening, at lightning speed.

The other party was stunned for a moment, and a red mark appeared on his face.

Immediately after, just as he opened his mouth to say something, his teeth actually fell out.

Li Haotian spread his hands, a mocking smile appearing on his face.

"I threw it to you, and you couldn't catch it yourself. Who can you blame? Let's disperse, let's disperse."

Li Haotian wore a brilliant smile and waved his hand. The Chao Si Sect Elder was so angry that flames seemed to be shooting from his eyes, but he knew deep down that there was a Peak Great Emperor Realm Expert beside the other party; he had absolutely no room to resist.

"The compensation has been given, so you should head back quickly. If you cause trouble again, don't blame me."

Liu Chen was clearly favoring the Heavenly Profound Sect, a dignified expression on his face.

In truth, it wasn't because of the Sect's relations, but mainly because of Li Haotian himself.

He held a high position and was considered a top-level member within the Divine Mirror Sect. Naturally, he was aware that a full seventy percent of the Heavenly Profound Sect's Disciples and Elders had been wiped out, yet Li Haotian had merely brought back the batch of Disciples stationed at the Fissure and had resolved this crisis to rebuild the Heavenly Profound Sect.

This was clearly impossible.

Since they had the strength to wipe out seventy percent of the Heavenly Profound Sect's Elders and Disciples, they would absolutely not have retreated just because of the few people Li Haotian brought.

The only reason was that this guy likely had an even greater background, and the few Peak Great Emperor Realm Experts by his side further confirmed this.

Even their Divine Mirror Sect would at most dispatch a Quasi-Emperor Expert to protect their own outstanding Disciples, yet by his side were Peak Great Emperor Realm Experts.

This was enough to prove that the other party's identity and origin did not seem as simple as they appeared.

Judging by what had happened to this guy, when he previously faced the foreign races, his meridians were severed and his Dantian was shattered.

Yet, in an extremely short amount of time, he had rebuilt his Cultivation and reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm with such speed; this speed of Cultivation was enough to make one marvel.

Aside from him, in historical records, the person who cultivated to the Quasi-Emperor Realm the fastest had taken over ninety years. Li Haotian, having rebuilt his Cultivation once, was actually able to reach the Quasi-Emperor Realm at such a fast speed. Behind this guy, there might be even more Peak Great Emperor Realm Experts, or even support from extraterritorial Powerhouses.

Based on current clues, he definitely could not be one of the foreign races. The final trace of Great Emperor power that destroyed the foreign race passage was done by his subordinate, a Peak Great Emperor Realm Expert.

If he were one of the foreign races, all he would have needed to do was have his Peak Great Emperor Realm Expert interfere with the other Human Race members, and the Great Emperor could have successfully let the foreign races through the pass.

Therefore, after guessing for a long time, they finally reached a conclusion: Li Haotian was very likely from the Immortal Realm.

His own methods and strength were simply unheard of. At the time, he could kill a Peak Great Emperor Realm Expert with the body of a Saint; this was definitely not a method any power in the Heavenly Domain could possess.

Regardless of whether the other party came from the Immortal Realm or not, they absolutely could not afford to provoke him.

Even if the Heavenly Profound Sect had declined, based on their predictions, it was estimated that it wouldn't be long before the Heavenly Profound Sect rose again.

The Chao Si Sect Elder gritted his teeth fiercely; he had no choice but to swallow his broken teeth along with his pride. There was simply no way out of this abyss. Rules were always set by the strong, but right now, the strong were listening to the other party.

He snorted coldly, turned around, and took his Disciples back.

Li Haotian curled his lip, feeling somewhat speechless. He was even considering whether he should just wipe this guy out right now.

A small Sect was actually causing him trouble time and time again, and with such an arrogant attitude—did they really think he was made of clay?

Li Haotian curled his lip and then stopped paying attention. The battle continued, and in one round, over a dozen Heavenly Profound Sect Disciples were directly eliminated. These Sects were clearly acting with premeditation; when facing Heavenly Profound Sect Disciples, regardless of whether they could win or not, they insisted on wearing down the other party's spiritual energy, aiming to make them show signs of fatigue in the upcoming battles.

Since the number he held was still 44, Li Haotian naturally went up as the last Powerhouse of the Heavenly Profound Sect.

"Come on! Let me see who my opponent is!"

An extremely rampant roar rang out, and standing on the Arena was a Late Stage Heavenly Monarch Powerhouse.

He had originally thought that after drawing a Heavenly Profound Sect Disciple, he wouldn't need to fight, as the other party had brought so few Disciples. The notice he received had said the same: he didn't need to participate in this round of battle and would directly receive points to advance.

However, what left him somewhat bewildered was that he was suddenly notified that he needed to go up to the Arena to compete.

He was one of the three seeded players of the Lüluo Sect. In this Grand Competition, having the strength of a Mid-stage Heavenly Monarch could be said to be the Peak.

Major Sects cultivated their Disciples by building a Foundation as quickly as possible. Within a hundred years, what could be achieved was barely reaching the Mid-stage Heavenly Monarch Realm.

Disciples who could reach the Late Stage Heavenly Monarch Realm basically didn't exist, because there was a massive chasm in between. To break through, one had to consume a large amount of Medicinal Pills and Heaven And Earth Treasures.

This would lead to an unstable Foundation, causing problems on the future path of Cultivation. If one wanted to re-solidify the Foundation, one would have to expend even more resources.

The Ten Great Powers basically wouldn't do this, because the Mid-stage Heavenly Monarch Disciples they cultivated were already enough to crush the Late Stage Heavenly Monarch Disciples of other Sects.

Only those Disciples from small powers would want to put on a show.

The Heavenly Profound Sect Disciples looked at the people around them. Everyone had basically participated in the competition, and no one had a bye, so they were all feeling a bit confused. They had received number 37 this time; how could there be any subsequent battles?

"Your opponent is me."

Li Haotian wore a brilliant smile and then walked step by step onto the Arena. The Lüluo Sect Elder, who had come to watch the battle and was prepared to see his own Disciple slaughter everything and crush the Heavenly Profound Sect Disciples, was instantly stunned on the spot.

"How can you participate in the competition? As the head of a Sect, you have absolutely no qualification to participate."

This Elder's expression became somewhat ugly. He naturally knew how formidable the other party's strength was; after all, before they decided to target the Heavenly Profound Sect, they would have investigated a little.

Li Haotian looked at the other party, a brilliant smile on his face, and then stretched his muscles as he arrived on the Arena.
