I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 632 The name of the Martial Sect resounds throughout the four seas!
The power of the soul, with two realms coexisting.

The strength that Qingyue displayed exceeded everyone's expectations.

It is no exaggeration to say that Qingyue is now completely invincible among her peers.

Even top-tier grandmasters at the ninth level of the Transcendent Realm.

Unless one can master martial arts that integrate artistic conception into martial arts, or is also able to utilize dual artistic conceptions.

Otherwise, facing her all-pervasive suppression of the soul and the power of dual intents, it would be almost impossible for him to win.

Of those present, only two people could truly pose a threat to Qingyue.

Nangong Hong and Ji Xuan.

For the others, facing her was almost a matter of how long they could last.

"It seems the top three rankings are already a foregone conclusion!"

"Hmm, I just wonder if Grandmaster Qingyue can defeat Ji Xuan and Nangong Hong and climb to the top of the Grandmaster Ranking!"

Inside the spectator area, several grandmasters had complex expressions on their faces.

They originally thought that the top two positions would be a foregone conclusion.

After all, Nangong Hong and Ji Xuan not only possessed the cultivation level of the ninth stage of the Transcendent Realm, but their martial arts and understanding of the laws also far surpassed those of others.

But now, with the sudden emergence of Qingyue.

This has cast a question mark over what should have been a one-sided battle for the championship!
At the same time, many grandmasters also felt a sense of urgency.

Those who become grandmasters at this time are all top-tier geniuses.

Moreover, they all embarked on the path of transcendence in the early stages of the extraordinary era.

In terms of cultivation time, they are actually not that different.

But now there is such a big gap.

Let's leave Nangong and Ji Xuan aside for now.

Qingyue, Yuan Liren, and even Fang Yuanhang and Xuanyuan Yungui.

These people have already ventured into areas they had never been exposed to before.

On the path to transcendence, they have far surpassed those grandmasters in the late stage of Dark Force.

To put it bluntly, the late stage of Dark Force is merely the threshold for top geniuses.

They can't really be considered part of the top tier yet.

In this extraordinary era that is gradually moving towards prosperity, all the thresholds are constantly being raised.

Only those at the peak of Dark Force in martial arts, or those who have perfectly integrated their intent into their martial arts, or those at the third stage of the Law of Intent, or even those at the dual intent, can achieve this.

That is the true measure of whether a grandmaster can be considered a top master!

Late stage of Dark Strength.

In the face of the true tides of the times, it has become less dazzling.

With extraordinary development, if one cannot reach the peak of Dark Force at the seventh level of Transcendent Realm, one would probably be embarrassed to call oneself a genius.

same.

Grandmasters are considered to be among the strongest in the world today.

But what about ten years later, twenty years later, or even a hundred years later?

At that time, he would probably be about the same as an ordinary grandmaster!
An extraordinary era, a time of great strife.

Only by constantly pushing our own limits can we avoid being swept away by the tide of the times!

Those who fail to keep up with the times will eventually become mediocre.
……

soon.

The match between Ji Ruxue and Bai Zhengyu has finally begun.

Since Ji Ruxue's strength far surpassed Bai Zhengyu's, there was no suspense in this battle.

The battle ended in less than half a minute.

Unfortunately, there's a significant difference in physical attributes and blood circulation between the seventh and eighth levels of the Transcendent Realm.

To engage in a direct confrontation, one would need either a higher level of martial arts skill or other means.

However, Bai Zhengyu's martial arts level was even lower than Ji Ruxue's, and he failed to integrate artistic conception into his martial arts.

Being able to hold out for thirty seconds is already due to his excellent agility.

Otherwise, a typical seventh-level Transcendent Realm cultivator probably wouldn't last more than three moves.

This is the end.

The first round of four battles has also come to an end.

Next, Sikong Yang and Mills, and Qingyue and Ji Ruxue will compete for the last two spots to advance.

However, the latter is no longer in doubt!

Qingyue could defeat Yuan Liren, who was at the peak of the eighth level of the Transcendent Realm, so Ji Ruxue would be no match for her.

If it's the former...

Sikong Yang is probably slightly stronger, but Mills is not entirely without a chance.

The difference in their abilities isn't actually that significant.

After a short break, the screen on the ring lit up again, displaying the upcoming matchup list.

[Match 1: Sikong Yang vs. Mills]

Without any unnecessary words, the battle erupted the moment Li Qingxuan finished speaking!

Sikong Yang made the first move, and an extremely condensed sword aura instantly tore through the air, piercing the air with a shrill whistle as it hurtled straight at Mills' face at an astonishing speed!

Mills let out a low growl, neither dodging nor avoiding, his fists crossed in front of him.

A powerful surge of energy erupted, forming a thick wall of energy!

boom!
The sword energy struck the wall of energy, producing a dull thud, and the wall of energy trembled violently.

Followed by.

Sikong Yang's offensive came one after another like a storm!

His figure transformed into afterimages, moving rapidly around Mills. Sharp sword energy burst forth from his fingertips, sleeves, and even his entire body, attacking Mills from all directions!

Mills remained firmly in place, his fists flailing about, as solid as a rock, protecting himself completely.

His boxing style is wide and powerful, with each punch containing terrifying power and recoil force.

Occasionally, he would seize an opportunity to unleash a powerful punch, forcing Sikong Yang to temporarily retreat.

On the arena, sword energy surged, fist winds howled, and the sounds of collisions were incessant.

The two attacked and defended, their extreme clash of speed and power producing terrifying explosions.

Holy crap, the destructive power of their fight is way too outrageous!

Countless people watching on the screen were dumbfounded.

Those masters who were watching on site felt their scalp tingle.

The destructive power of this fight surpassed that of any previous match.

Even Kiyotsuki and Gen Reijin never had such a fierce confrontation.

On the viewing platform, Feng Yuanshan explained to the people around him:
"That's normal. Under Qingyue's divine soul pressure, Yuan Liren simply couldn't unleash his full strength!"

“The battle between Sikong Yang and Mills is different now; neither of them is being suppressed.”

"Moreover, Sikong Yang's sword pursues the ultimate in attack and speed. Every sword aura is extremely condensed and has extremely powerful destructive force."

"Mills' Xuanwu Zhenhai Fist is the ultimate defense and counterattack, with abundant blood and qi and fierce power."

"The clash between these two extreme styles naturally appears particularly intense."

As he said, the arena was now a complete mess.

The solid ground was slashed with countless deep trenches by the sharp sword energy.

Every time Mills slammed down with a heavy punch, or when he withstood the recoil from the sword energy, he would leave spiderweb-like cracks or even shallow pits on the ground!
The force unleashed by these two individuals definitely reached 50,000 kilograms.

A force of 50,000 kilograms can even cause some damage to the armor of a tank.

If you attack a weak point, you might be able to destroy it directly.

In the arena.

After dozens of rounds of fierce fighting, Sikong Yang frowned slightly.

He originally thought he could win directly with his swordsmanship.

But it doesn't seem that easy now.

After fighting for so long, he still couldn't completely penetrate Mills's absolute defense.

On the contrary, it consumes a lot of one's own qi and blood.

the other side.

Mills' defense was solid, but he was constantly under pressure and couldn't find an opportunity to counterattack.

This essentially turned into a tug-of-war.

It all comes down to who runs out of energy and blood.

"It seems we have no choice but to unleash our full power!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sikong Yang's swordplay suddenly shifted.

The sword intent that was originally sharp and unparalleled around him suddenly seemed to be ignited, and a scorching and violent aura burst forth!

A crimson stream of light surged from his body and quickly wrapped around the green-edged longsword.

The sword hummed, as if flames were burning in the void!

"Feng Tian!"

Sikong Yang let out a low shout and slashed out with his sword!
Where the sword energy passed, the air seemed to be scorched and distorted, crackling and popping, and terrifying high temperature instantly spread to an area of ​​tens of meters in radius.

"The Essence of Fire!"

Mills's expression changed drastically!
At that moment, he felt an unprecedented threat.

Sikong Yang's sword light not only contained extremely sharp sword intent, but also carried a terrifying power of destruction.

For someone like him who excels in defense, the effect of restraint is extremely obvious.

"Black Tortoise Shakes the Earth!"

He dared not hold back in the slightest, pushing his qi and blood to their limits.

His fists slammed out like two mountains, attempting to directly confront the fiery sword energy!
Boom! ! !

This collision was far greater than any before!
A terrifying energy shockwave spread outwards like a tsunami, affecting an area within a hundred meters in radius.

Even those in the spectator stands thousands of meters away felt a slight tremor.

Are you kidding me?

Is this level of strength truly attainable by a Grandmaster?

Countless people swallowed hard, their eyes filled with disbelief.

They had already witnessed many battles between seventh-level Transcendent Grandmasters.

But they are far inferior to these two now.

This is natural.

The essence of fire alone is indeed not very useful.

However, the power of this sword strike, formed by fusing the essence of fire, is far beyond what an ordinary seventh-level Grandmaster could imagine.

A typical seventh-level Transcendent Grandmaster wouldn't even possess half the power of this sword strike. On the arena.

The smoke and dust from the explosion dissipated.

Mills was lying on the ground dozens of meters away.

He struggled to get up, but couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Moreover, both arms were already charred black, indicating that the injury was serious.

He shook his head with a wry smile, his voice hoarse:
"I lost!"

Sikong Yang slowly sheathed his sword, and the blazing sword intent around him gradually subsided.

At this point, he was also starting to lose his balance.

That sword strike just now almost drained him of all his vital energy and strength.

[Sikong Yang wins!]

"A sword technique formed by fusing the essence of fire?"

In the spectator seats.

Many top masters and even grandmasters are now numb.

Another top genius has emerged.

During a competition for extraordinary individuals, they encountered four people who had fused artistic conception with martial arts.

But if you think about it from a different perspective, it's not so hard to accept.

Sikong Yang is, after all, a sword master on par with Yuan Liren, so it's normal that he can comprehend it.

"What a pity! I wish I could see the battle between the Sword Sect and the Saber Sect!"

Someone couldn't help but sigh.

These two unparalleled experts were ultimately overshadowed by Qingyue's brilliance.

It was not long after Sikong Yang and the other person finished their match.

The battle between Qingyue and Ji Ruxue ended with Qingyue's victory, as expected.

However, faced with Qingyue's suppression of his divine soul, their battle seemed rather uneventful!
In terms of entertainment value, it's not even as good as a battle between two Grandmasters at the seventh level of the Transcendent Realm.

This is the end.

The top four on the Grandmaster Ranking have been determined!

Nangong Hong, Ji Xuan, Qingyue, and Sikong Yang.

The final match was between Qingyue and Sikong Yang against Nangong Hong and Ji Xuan, respectively.

The winner advances to the final, while the loser competes for third place.

However, it's clear to everyone that the top three are already a foregone conclusion.

The key question is whether Qingyue can make further progress!
……

Half a day later.

With Qingyue and Sikong Yang back to their peak condition, the final stage of the competition has finally begun.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement.

The two groups of people fighting each other consisted of two martial arts grandmasters and two masters of the laws.

That is, Nangong Hong will fight Sikong Yang, and Ji Xuan will fight Qingyue.

This matchup undoubtedly met everyone's expectations to the greatest extent possible.

"How many moves do you think the Sword Sect can withstand from a Martial Sect?"

"They should be able to withstand at least twenty or thirty moves!"

Upon hearing this, one of the grandmasters shook his head.

"I think it's risky. I was there when Vice Dean Nangong Hong took action a year ago."

"Back then, Vice Dean Nangong already displayed strength that surpassed that of the current Hall Master Sikong!"

"A year has passed, and it's impossible for Vice Dean Nangong's abilities not to have improved."

"Therefore, I think it would be quite impressive if Palace Master Sikong could withstand ten moves!"

In the spectator area, many extraordinary individuals were discussing the battle in hushed tones.

However, their point of speculation was how long Sikong Yang could hold out.

No one believed that Sikong Yang had a chance of winning.

Not to mention that Nangong Hong had already reached the ninth level of the Transcendent Realm and his martial arts realm had reached the Transformation Realm.

What is neutralizing force?

Those who reach this level have their Qi and blood flowing smoothly and seamlessly throughout their bodies, becoming one with the ability to be both strong and gentle, and to change at will.

Not only can they perfectly control every bit of their own power, but they can also keenly sense and neutralize the power of their opponents.

When Huangfu Yao and Jack first donned the Source Energy Armor, their strength had already surpassed the limits achievable by the Transcendent Realm after activating Overload Mode.

Despite this, the power unleashed by the two of them was gradually neutralized by Nangong Hong.

While Sikong Yang might be comparable to Huangfu Yao wearing source energy armor now, he is definitely far inferior to the two of them when they activate overload mode.

Even if one were to unleash the Heaven-Burning Sword Technique, which incorporates the essence of fire, it still wouldn't reach that level of destructive power that transcends limits.

Therefore, facing Nangong Hong, who had already reached the Transformation Realm and whose control over power had reached an unbelievable level, Sikong Yang had no chance of winning.

The only difference is how long they can last.

Not to mention that even Yuan Liren and Sikong Yang can integrate artistic conception into martial arts, how could Nangong Hong, who has even greater talent, not be able to do it?

There's no need to even think about this question; many people already have the answer in their hearts.

[Match 1: Nangong Hong vs. Sikong Yang!]

In the arena.

Li Qingxuan's voice instantly filled the entire venue, silencing the murmurs of the crowd.

The two rose at the same time, transforming into two streaks of light, and quickly appeared on the ravaged arena.

"Draw your sword, or you'll say I didn't give you a chance!"

Nangong Hong spoke calmly.

"..."

Sikong Yang's face darkened.

Damn it, more than 30 years have passed, and this guy still loves to show off just like before.

Unfortunately, from the very beginning when he was still a martial artist, he was always overshadowed by Nangong Hong.

Even now, the gap between the two has only widened.

Take a deep breath.

Sikong Yang slowly raised the long sword in his hand, and his blood and qi erupted without reservation!
The second stage of his fire intent instantly reached its peak, perfectly merging with his swordsmanship.

The surrounding temperature began to rise steadily, and the sword intent intertwined with the scorching air waves, transforming his body into a blazing domain.

Crimson light coiled around the sword like a living thing, emitting a buzzing vibration.

Where the sword tip pointed, the air distorted violently, as if it were about to be ignited at any moment!

"Nangong! Take this sword!"

Sikong Yang roared, banishing all distracting thoughts.

He poured all his strength into unleashing the strongest sword strike of his martial arts career to date!
This sword strike was the pinnacle of his swordsmanship, and its power even surpassed that of his previous battle against Mills!

"Not bad, you didn't disappoint me after all!"

Faced with this earth-shattering sword strike, powerful enough to make any Transcendent Realm expert change color, Nangong Hong's lips curled up slightly.

Sikong Yang's sword strike was indeed impressive.

It's already comparable to Huangfu Yao when he wore the Source Energy Armor!
It should be noted that after wearing the Source Energy Armor, Huangfu Yao was able to unleash the strength of a ninth-level Transcendent Realm cultivator.

Its strength is at least 60,000 to 70,000 kilograms.

This level of strength is almost identical to that of Nangong Hong before his breakthrough!
Nangong Hong raised the gun in his hand and took a step forward.

At the same time, terrifying blood and qi, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, frantically condensed and compressed towards the tip of the spear!
This shot is called Piercing Rainbow.

Its meaning is to concentrate all the strength of the body into one point, making it indestructible and unbreakable, even able to pierce through a rainbow in the sky with a single shot!
It was also the earliest martial art created by Nangong Hong.

Until today.

He has perfected this marksmanship into a true killing technique, and it is also a manifestation of his own martial arts will!
"Guanhong!"

Accompanied by a loud shout.

The trajectory of the gun tip left a shimmering arc in the air.

The next instant, the crystalline arc of light collided violently with the crimson sword light that scorched the heavens and boiled the seas!

Before everyone's incredulous eyes, Sikong Yang's seemingly incomparably violent and all-destroying Heaven-Burning Sword Light, upon contact with the crystalline arc light, began to melt rapidly, like ice and snow under the blazing sun.

Nangong Hong's "Piercing Rainbow" shot

He brought out the spear intent of concentrating on one point, which could break through anything, to its fullest extent.

Its extreme penetrating and destructive power, upon contact, directly disintegrated and destroyed the power contained in Sikong Yang's sword light from its most fundamental structure.

laugh!
A faint but teeth-grinding sound rang out.

The crimson torrent of sword light was split in two, yet it couldn't stop that crystalline arc of light in the slightest!
next moment.

The longsword in Sikong Yang's hand let out a mournful cry, and its blade was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks.

Then, with a loud bang, it exploded into countless fragments!
"puff!"

Sikong Yang spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward uncontrollably as if struck by an invisible giant hammer.

The powerful aura surrounding him rapidly dissipated, like a punctured balloon.

boom!
He crashed heavily onto the edge of the ring hundreds of meters away, too exhausted to even stand up!
Nangong Hong slowly sheathed his spear and stood up, the dazzling light and restrained terrifying aura on the spear gradually subsiding.

The audience was silent.

Lost!

A complete and utter defeat!
Everyone was so shocked by this overwhelming scene that they were speechless.

It was just one move.

"Are you kidding me?"

On the spectator stands, countless sounds of swallowing saliva could be heard.

The strength that Nangong Hong displayed had clearly surpassed their rational understanding.

From Sikong Yang's outburst to Nangong Hong's spear strike that defeated the enemy, the entire process was as swift as lightning.

Many people didn't even see what happened before the battle was over!

Even a powerful sect like the Sword Sect couldn't withstand a single move from Nangong Hong.
This result far exceeded everyone's expectations.

They guessed that Sikong Yang would lose, but they didn't expect him to lose so decisively.

So predictable!

This is no longer a gap, but a fundamental chasm!

All eyes were focused on Nangong Hong, filled with awe and fervor.

This is the pinnacle of martial arts!

Emperor Wuzong's name instantly resounded throughout the world.
