238: Heavenly Red Magic Treasure

"Since Revered Master has placed such high hopes in me, I absolutely cannot let Revered Master down. This time, I must demonstrate my value."

Du Xian looked at his own hands and muttered. He had always felt that, given his background and talent, he was unworthy of Revered Master's personal instruction. However, since Revered Master was willing to accept him as a Personal Disciple, he would not hesitate; he was determined to put forth his greatest effort to repay Revered Master.

Consequently, Du Xian spent every day Cultivating desperately. Although his Cultivation was about to reach a Breakthrough to the Heavenly Monarch Realm, he was still missing that critical line. He felt that this line could not be compensated for by resources alone.

Without accumulating a vast amount of combat experience, it would likely be quite difficult to cross this line. A Bottleneck is not something one can just break through whenever they want.

In the early stages, one's Cultivation might be forcibly elevated to a higher Realm by piling on resources, but after reaching the Late Stage, this could no longer be done.

After all, once reaching the Late Stage, his Cultivation began to involve insights regarding the Heavenly Dao.

These things could not be vague in the slightest; one must personally comprehend the will of the Heavenly Dao to advance one's Cultivation further.

Everyone must comprehend their own Dao to eventually break through to become a Great Emperor Powerhouse. Without one's own Dao, breaking through to become a Great Emperor Powerhouse is simply impossible.

This is why others are so surprised when someone comprehends a Domain.

A Domain is equivalent to a type of Dao; once comprehended, as long as it is utilized and mastered, one can step into the ranks of Great Emperor Powerhouses without any Bottlenecks.

For everyone, this is an extremely high honor.

Du Xian had also comprehended his own Dao; now, all he lacked was the right opportunity.

The first match of the second day was Du Xian's. He stretched his limbs and, amidst the cheering of a group of Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, walked onto the Arena.

"Will you surrender yourself, or shall I kill you?"

Du Xian looked at the opponent standing before him and raised an eyebrow slightly, an expression of disbelief appearing on his face. When facing him, the opponent had not chosen to surrender immediately, nor did he show any fear. Instead, he looked at Du Xian sideways with a mocking and contemptuous attitude.

Before this, all his opponents had chosen to surrender immediately upon facing him. After all, a Powerhouse who had not yet reached the Heavenly Monarch Realm could insta-kill a Heavenly Monarch; no one wanted to let their life slip away on the Arena.

"Kid, don't think that you are invincible. Let me tell you, this young Revered Master has specifically sought out a large number of Magic Treasures to deal with you this time; you are definitely no match for me!"

"Now, it is you who should surrender. Otherwise, if you die on the Arena later, you people from the Heavenly Profound Sect will lose face."

"You were so arrogant when bullying our Sect before; now, I am going to properly avenge our Sect and let you know who the real boss is."

That person's face revealed an extremely rampant expression. He looked very confident, likely possessing some heavy treasure on his person.

Du Xian raised his eyebrow slightly. Facing such a stubborn guy, he couldn't even be bothered to reply. He didn't know if the other party truly had the strength or if there was something wrong with his brain, so he decided to just let their actions speak for themselves.

Stretching his limbs, Du Xian's gaze gradually turned cold. Accompanied by the referee's command, both of them charged forward simultaneously.

The Heavenly Profound Sect crowd under the stage was also slightly surprised; this was the first time they had encountered someone daring to resist them.

Was this guy truly not afraid of death, or did he actually have the strength?

The next instant, everyone had already found the answer in their hearts: he really had the strength!

They saw a golden treasure sword suddenly appear in that Disciple's hand. The aura emanating from that sword was unmistakably that of a heaven-rank red magic artifact.

Under normal circumstances, if a Heavenly Monarch Powerhouse were to wield such a Magic Treasure, it would naturally be extremely shocking, as heaven-rank magic treasures are basically the standard equipment for Great Emperor Powerhouses.

Let alone a heaven-rank red magic artifact; even Great Emperor Powerhouses would be tempted upon seeing such a Magic Treasure.

The opponent appeared with such a Long Sword in his hand; dealing with a Powerhouse of the same Realm would naturally leave no room for error.

To resist, the opponent must be able to bring out a Magic Treasure of the same Realm; otherwise, there would be no room to resist at all, just like how the Heavenly Profound Sect crowd crushed others before.

It was just a pity that these people hid things very well on themselves; the heaven-rank red magic artifact on them was not known to anyone else.

This led to the strange idea held by the person before him that as long as he had a heaven-rank red magic artifact, he could kill a Heavenly Profound Sect Disciple.

Their Elder was also naively cute, actually applying to the Sect through various levels to bring over their Sect-suppressing Magic Treasure, all for the sake of killing a Heavenly Profound Sect Powerhouse to vent their anger and boost their Sect's prestige.

This Magic Treasure looked like an extremely formidable Cultivation Technique-type Magic Treasure. Du Xian was visibly stunned after seeing it, clearly having sensed an extremely strong, sharp intent.

But he made no defensive moves at all, still throwing out the same unadorned punch as before. Golden flames wrapped around his fist, and a huge Dragon totem appeared on it.

A giant Dragon phantom emerged behind him, looking so majestic.

Everyone was somewhat shocked to see the scene before them; this was the first time everyone had seen the appearance of a heavenly phenomenon.

Seed players from major forces can basically induce heavenly phenomena; that is the manifestation of them having comprehended the rudiments of the Dao. They had thought no Heavenly Profound Sect Disciple had reached this Realm yet, but they did not expect that they had not been using their full strength before.

In fact, even now, Du Xian had not used his full strength; this punch barely carried seventy percent of his power. They didn't even need to manipulate any Cultivation Technique or incantations; they could easily crush their opponents with their fists alone.

In every battle, they basically insta-killed their opponents in an extremely terrifying, crushing manner.

Naturally, this match would be no exception.

"You are indeed arrogant; to not make any defenses even when facing a heaven-rank red magic artifact, you are simply courting death!"

That Disciple laughed loudly, his eyes revealing a trace of madness and extreme excitement.

Their Elder had promised him that as long as he could kill this weakest semi-finalist Disciple of the Heavenly Profound Sect on the field, he would be gifted a large amount of Magic Treasures and all the glory and wealth he could imagine, and in the future, he would be allowed to remain in the Sect to serve as an Inner Sect Elder.

Such a position and promise made him instantly excited; as long as he could kill the person before him, his glory and wealth for a lifetime would be secured.
