Chapter 278 The First Prodigy, The Battle of the Heavenly Stars (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The newcomer was a young man with red hair, dressed in a red robe.

Seeing that Ye Fan had just killed one of his Blackwater foes, he concluded that Ye Fan's combat strength was weakened after the battle, so he abandoned the arena and attacked directly. His long sword, gleaming with a dark blue light, was aimed straight at Ye Fan's heart.

"mean!"

The prodigies of the Southern Region all shouted and cursed!
The Blackwater prodigy in the square sneered, "Life and death are irrelevant to this, so what's so despicable about it? If he's afraid of dying, he can simply flee the battle stage!"

"That's right, if he really is a prodigy, he can naturally defend the Prodigy Battle Stage!"

Ye Fan raised his eyes, showing no sign of fatigue. He had only consumed some of his magical power, but his physical strength remained undiminished.

Facing the thrusting sword, he neither dodged nor evaded; his right fist, enveloped in a pale golden aura, collided directly with the sword.

"clang!"

The clang of metal against metal was deafening. The red-haired youth felt a violent tremor in his palm, and his longsword nearly slipped from his grasp. He was astonished and wondered, "How can he still have such strength?"

Before he could react, Ye Fan had already pounced on him, his fists striking out like thunderbolts.

The red-haired youth gritted his teeth and unleashed a series of sword techniques, engaging Ye Fan in a fierce battle.

He was confident in his superior skills and wanted to suppress Ye Fan with a quick attack, but he did not know that Ye Fan was a body cultivator who was best at prolonged battles.

Each time fist and sword clashed, Ye Fan's body remained as still as a stubborn rock, causing the red-haired youth's blood and qi to surge.

Within a few dozen breaths, golden light and water reflections intertwined on the battle platform, and the sounds of fierce clashes continued.

Ye Fan's breathing remained steady, and his punching power showed no signs of diminishing.

"Impossible!" the red-haired youth roared, burning his life essence to unleash a killing move, his longsword aimed straight at Ye Fan's head.

A cold glint flashed in Ye Fan's eyes, and golden light surged around him. He parried the longsword with his left fist, and with his right fist, he gathered all his strength and slammed it hard into the red-haired youth's chest.

"Oh!"

With a deafening roar, the red-haired youth's body exploded like a tattered rag, instantly turning into a cloud of blood mist that dissipated within the protective shield of the battle platform.

Ye Fan withdrew his fist and stood up, his clothes stained with blood but his expression remained unchanged.

He then swept his hand across the storage bag, swallowed the pills, and restored his magical power.

Ye Fan killed three people in succession. Apart from the 36th battle platform of the Earthly Fiends where he was located, the 40th battle platform of the Earthly Fiends was occupied by Xu Deyue, and the 72nd battle platform of the Earthly Fiends was occupied by Xu Mingxian.

When Xu Deling saw Ye Fan's series of victories on the third battle platform of Tiangang, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Yan Longzi sighed slightly, "They actually allowed the Xu family to ascend to the Heavenly Pride Battle Stage, even while they were causing trouble in the Blackwater Domain. If it weren't for that, wouldn't they all have been able to ascend to the Heavenly Gang Battle Stage?"

Yan Kuangtu challenged the 71st battle stage of the Earthly Fiends, and was the pride of the South.

After a fierce battle, they were ultimately defeated.

His current combat strength is only comparable to someone who has mastered one or two tenths of the basic divine abilities, and there is still some distance between him and those who are about to step onto the Heavenly Pride Battle Stage.

If one dedicates oneself to studying it in the future, one may be able to comprehend at least 40-50% of the basic supernatural abilities.

Cang Daoling possesses near-level four combat strength, but he failed to defeat both of them in his consecutive challenges, and these were among the last few battle stages for prodigies.

If it weren't for the sudden arrival of this prodigy from the Blackwater region, he would have had a chance to earn a place on the Prodigy Ranking.

Three prodigies from the Blackwater region challenged Xu Mingxian one after another, but Xu Mingxian had already set up illusion and fog arrays, using the art of changing reality and illusion to manipulate them at will.

Then, using the Five Elements Battle Formation to bind them, they were easily killed.

When Xu Mingxian committed the murder, she concealed it with clouds and mist and set up a mental barrier.

Foundation Establishment cultivators could not see through it, but cultivators above the Golden Core stage generally knew how he killed the Blackwater Prodigy.

Tianya Shangren thought to himself, “Our Northwest has hidden such a genius in the art of array formations. I have never seen him use any array artifacts. Could it be that he can conjure arrays out of thin air?”
But without a core to the formation, if the formation is hastily assembled, wouldn't the opponent be able to break it easily?
And that restriction technique... it reminds me of Senior Brother Zhang Fan!"

Ba Dao also noticed Ye Fan and Xu Mingxian, and seemed to be thinking: one is a body cultivator at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, and the other is an array cultivator who has long been extinct.
Sword cultivators fight with swords!
Array cultivators also rely on arrays in battle!
Unlike ordinary array masters who can only set up arrays or lure enemies into them to trap and kill them, this method is different.

"However, it is somewhat superficial, like a beginner in the path of array cultivation."

A murderous glint flashed in his eyes.

A fully-developed array cultivator can be far more terrifying than a sword cultivator!
Of course, they are also much rarer!

Xu Deyue occupied the 40th Heavenly Pride Battle Stage. He was challenged by a Blackwater Prodigy from below the stage, but was killed in a dozen moves. The two Blackwater Battle Stage champions next to him were also killed.

"This woman has at least a level five combat power!"

After that, no one went to challenge Xu Deyue.

Half an hour later.

Xu Deyue challenges the Blackwater Prodigy, the number one Earthly Fiend.

Xu Mingxian seized the opportunity to occupy the fortieth battle platform of the prodigies, and then immediately set up an array in secret, waiting for others to jump in.

The first battle arena of the Earthly Fiends.

On one side, swords flashed and the night was cool as water; on the other side, crimson and black flames burned fiercely.

Then came the clash between the Cold Dao Seal Technique and the Demon Flame Palm Technique.

The battle platform is half flames and half frost.

The two fought for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Xu Deyue had a slight advantage. Although the Blackwater prodigy was not killed, he was severely injured and had to escape from the battle stage.

"This fairy is a dark horse! With her strength, she has a good chance of making it to the Heavenly Battle Stage!"

"Not necessarily. If they had such a tough fight against the number one Earthly Fiend, the strength of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang must be considerable. I'm afraid their chances are slim."

"Hmm, another challenger has entered the Earthly Fiend Forty Battle Platform!"

"Another fog?"

"Array?"

When the mist cleared, only Xu Mingxian remained standing, while the demonic cultivators of the Blackwater Domain had already fallen.

Those who attacked Xu Mingxian, Xu Deyue, and Ye Fan after giving up defending their positions were almost all killed, and their places were taken by Tiannan Tianjiao.

However, they were soon challenged by the Blackwater Prodigies.

The battle arena of the Earthly Fiends suddenly became incredibly lively.

Ye Fan has one last chance to challenge, and he plans to test the level of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals.

Upon seeing Ye Fan's arrival, the purple-haired demonic cultivator coldly said, "Overestimating yourself."

However, after several encounters, he realized that Ye Fan's strength should not be underestimated. Although his attack power was only at the level of a beginner's divine ability, he was particularly resistant to blows.

He thought it was because of the armor and magical artifact.

"Since you're courting death, don't blame me. I was originally planning to save my strength to prepare for the surprise attack on the top thirty on the battle stage!"

The purple-haired demonic cultivator's eyes flashed with ferocity, his demonic energy surged suddenly, and a crescent-shaped demonic blade appeared in his hand.

In an instant, the Crescent Moon Demon Blade emitted a dark purple light.

The demonic blade unleashed several sword energies, each over ten feet long, which swept towards Ye Fan like a tidal wave.

That overwhelming pressure far surpassed any previous attack, reaching 70% of the combat power of a beginner-level divine ability.

Many onlookers were astonished.

"That Ye Fan was too arrogant. Now his fate is uncertain!" someone sighed.

Ye Fan gritted his teeth and met the attack with both fists.

However, the power of the demonic flame blade energy was too strong, and Ye Fan's fist was directly shattered. He could only rely on his magic weapon and his own physical body to resist.

Although it was blocked, the armored arms were covered with fine cracks.

"Hmph, once your armor is shattered, let's see what you'll use to defend yourself!"

After a few cups of tea.

Ye Fan's armor gradually crumbled, and his gauntlets also broke, revealing his hands inside.

"Ye Fan!"

"Husband!"

Xu Mingxian and Xu Deyue exclaimed in surprise.

Xu Deling also frowned, her eyes filled with worry.

Xu Chuan tried to calculate repeatedly, but whether it was due to the large number of powerful figures in the area or the influence of the Heavenly Pride Ranking, he was unable to deduce any information.

Cracks spread across the crimson gold armor.

A few moments.

With a "bang," it shattered, and fragments of the gauntlet scattered across the fighting stage, revealing the bronze skin beneath.

The skin had a cold, hard sheen, with a pale golden light flowing between its layers.

"This physical body"

The onlookers showed strange expressions.

The purple-haired demonic cultivator seemed to be deep in thought, and immediately unleashed several more sword beams, which Ye Fan blocked with his arms crossed.

The blade only left a few shallow cuts on his arm.

"You really have been practicing body-refining techniques!"

The purple-haired demon cultivator's pupils contracted slightly. "Moreover, his physical body has already reached an extremely strong level, probably no worse than a peak second-tier demon beast."

"Monk Jin Chan, between you and him, who has a stronger or weaker physical body?" Lin Qingfeng asked curiously.

"I cannot compare, for I do not know." Jin Chan put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist prayer, but his eyes were fixed on Ye Fan, and his pupils shrank slightly.

"To be able to train one's physical body to such an extent, one must believe that the body-refining techniques one practices are no less effective than the 'Golden Body Technique' passed down in our temple."

The onlookers gasped in surprise.

"To cultivate both body and spirit, and to have achieved such a modest level of success, is something I haven't seen in many years," a Golden Core cultivator remarked, stroking his beard.

"Fellow Daoist Qingmu, your Tiancang Prefecture truly produces many talented individuals," Qingxuan said, looking at True Monarch Qingmu.

"You flatter me, True Lord Qingxuan. There are countless opportunities in the world, and it is impossible for everyone to have them all. Otherwise, wouldn't all the Nascent Soul forces like ours be able to exist forever?"

"That's true. My ancestor, Xuan Yue, also rose from humble beginnings to establish his sect and reach where he is today."

"Ye Fan, his combat power has reached 70% of the entry-level divine power. You are already injured, so retreat first!" Xu Mingxian said with a furrowed brow.

"Father-in-law, I'm confident I can save my life, so please let me be willful this once."

Upon hearing this, Xu Mingxian stopped trying to persuade him.

Xu Deyue knew Ye Fan's thoughts well, so she didn't say much, but her eyes showed a faint worry.

Ye Fan's strength improved rapidly, but he never encountered an opponent who was truly worth fighting for.

The other party was filled with murderous intent, and so was he.

This is a true life-or-death struggle!

It is not difficult for someone who has mastered 70% of the basic supernatural abilities to kill someone who has mastered 50%.

However, it is very difficult to kill a body cultivator whose combat power is comparable to 50% of a beginner-level supernatural power!

His body is hard, but his bones are even harder!
"It seems you do indeed have the potential to be a top-tier prodigy, but unfortunately you haven't truly grown up yet. Killing you would surely make the people of Tiannan regret it for a while."

Ye Fan didn't say much. He stepped forward and unleashed a barrage of punches, each one accompanied by the sound of air being torn apart.

"You don't know what you can do!"

Seeing this, the purple-haired demonic cultivator sneered and unleashed several slashes with his crescent-shaped demonic blade.

Although it didn't shatter his fist, it caused him to bleed profusely, exposing his bones.

Ye Fan remained calm and fearless.

After being knocked back, it continued forward relentlessly, seemingly feeling no pain.

In just a moment, his arms and hands were covered in wounds, looking as if he had been subjected to slow slicing.

Ye Fan's eyes showed no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, they grew brighter and brighter, as if he had gained some kind of enlightenment.

Ancient body cultivators fought against heaven and earth, and the person who created the body-refining techniques did so to make their physical body strong enough to fight against demonic beasts.

While the armor provided strong defense, it also restricted the potential of body cultivators.

At this moment, with each physical collision, he felt his body being tempered, his fighting spirit rising, and his fists swinging, the power of the Brahma Holy Fist growing stronger and stronger.

Seeing Ye Fan's miserable state, everyone thought he could only last for half an incense stick's time at most.

But half an hour, then an hour, passed, and he was still standing on the Heavenly Pride Battle Platform.

"Is this the terrifying power of ancient body cultivators?"

"Rumor has it that no one can surpass him in endurance, and seeing it today, I can confirm that his reputation is well-deserved!"

On the Heavenly Battle Platform, golden light and demonic energy intertwined.

Although Ye Fan was covered in blood, he became more and more courageous in battle, and his momentum gradually became equal to that of the purple-haired demonic cultivator. On the other hand, the purple-haired demonic cultivator's eyes were full of apprehension and even a trace of fear and anxiety.

"Impossible, I can't possibly lose!"

The purple-haired demonic cultivator unleashed a secret technique of burning his life essence; even if there was no chance of advancing further, he was determined to kill this person!
Seeing the purple-haired demonic cultivator's aura surge, Ye Fan's fighting spirit also gradually rose.

"Well done!"

He let out a wild laugh and clashed once again with the crescent-shaped demonic blade in the purple-haired demonic cultivator's hand.

After dozens of times.

"Why haven't you been defeated yet!"

"Why haven't you been defeated yet!"

"Defeat me!"

The purple-haired demonic cultivator roared repeatedly.

Ye Fan fought relentlessly, his momentum rising once more, as did his fighting spirit.

As long as he doesn't die, he can keep fighting!
The next moment, he had a sudden inspiration, as if he had realized something.

For an instant.

He infused his fighting spirit, momentum, and mindset into the Brahma Holy Fist, which enabled the Brahma Holy Fist to leap to the second stage of mastery.

“Juetian!”

Ye Fan roared, gathering all his strength and fighting spirit in his fists. The golden fist light surged several times over, slamming fiercely towards the purple-haired demonic cultivator.

With the first punch, the Crescent Moon Demon Blade was blasted away.

The second punch shattered the magical shield, and the golden light pierced through his body, causing him to be severely injured, cough up blood, and fly backward.

The third punch landed before the purple-haired demonic cultivator could even touch the ground, blasting him into a bloody mist!
"it is good!"

Everyone was amazed!

But Ye Fan seemed to be weakened after the outburst, and he knelt on one knee, the pale golden light on his skin dimmed to the point of being almost invisible.

After all, the injuries inflicted by the purple-haired demonic cultivator were not to be ignored; anyone else would have been dead long ago.

"kill him!"

On the plaza, a demonic cultivator from the Blackwater Domain shouted loudly.

As if alerted, some people on the Earthly Fiend Battle Platform immediately left the arena and flew towards the Thirty-Sixth Battle Platform of the Heavenly Gang Battle Platform.

"mean!"

"Shameless!"

"hateful!"

The insults and abuse were incessant.

"Strike while the iron is hot and kill him—isn't that the way of the world?"

The demonic cultivator laughed heartily. Even if he only took advantage of someone's vulnerability to kill such a prodigy, he could still become famous!
Everyone thought Ye Fan was doomed this time.

But something happened that shocked everyone, something that even the Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators hadn't anticipated.

The demonic cultivator was actually blocked by the light barrier of the Heavenly Pride Battle Platform.

"How could this be? Isn't it only when there are two people that you can't enter the battle platform?" The demonic cultivator was furious.

Even the Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators were surprised.

Rumble~
Then a sound rang out.

At the center of the Thirty-Six Battle Platforms of the Heavenly Gang, a golden stone tablet rose up.

"The Monument of Heavenly Pride!" the group of Nascent Soul cultivators exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone was stunned.

The Heavenly Pride Tournament hasn't even ended yet, but the Heavenly Pride Monument has already appeared ahead of schedule!
Is it because of the ancient genius token that was previously integrated?

Several lines of ancient golden characters appeared above the Tianjiao Stele.

[With only the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, he fought relentlessly, surpassing his own limits, and even gaining enlightenment in battle – truly a prodigy!]

"This has been acknowledged by the Heavenly Pride Battle Arena!"

"The first prodigy has appeared!" The Nascent Soul cultivators from several top forces also smiled.

This change must mean that the Heavenly Pride Ranking is gradually recovering, and the integration of the Ancient Heavenly Pride Token is indeed effective.

Xu Chuan, Xu Mingxian, Xu Deyue, and Xu Deling all wore faint smiles.

Seeing that there was no chance, the demonic cultivator turned to return to his Ninth Battle Platform of the Earthly Fiends, only to find that his home had been raided.

The person who broke into the house was Xu Mingxian.

"you wanna die!"

In a fit of rage, he charged into the ninth battle arena of the Earthly Fiends.

A thick fog rolled in.

After a short while, only Xu Mingxian's figure and the fallen demonic cultivator appeared, and his storage bag had also disappeared.

Xu Mingxian flicked her finger, burning his body to ashes.

"Just how strong is this person?"

"I don't know, he always uses thick fog to cover his battles and also blocks divine sense from seeing through them."

"The Golden Core and Nascent Soul elders must know this."

The Nascent Soul cultivators in the Blackwater region warned the prodigies on the battle stage not to challenge Xu Mingxian, as his battle stage had already been heavily fortified with arrays.

Like his lair, although none of them are strong, unless the top geniuses break in, the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators basically have no chance of survival.

Life and death are just a matter of a single thought for him.

The Blackwater Prodigies were all taken aback.

Indeed, the world is never short of geniuses!
Ye Fan gained recognition from the Heavenly Pride Battle Stage and secured a spot among the Heavenly Pride, which excited many people, who began to challenge him.

But Ye Fan is ultimately an exception.

Some died, some fled the battleground in panic, and some won with great difficulty but were killed by those who came afterward.

Several members of the Tiancang Mansion who had previously occupied the battle arena of the Earthly Fiends were also injured in the chaotic battle and had no choice but to temporarily leave the battle arena, waiting for an opportunity to take it back later.

The Heavenly Battle Platform remains largely unchanged, still employing a strategy of stillness to counter movement.

If they continue in this way until the end, they will naturally be able to obtain a place on the list of prodigies.

After recovering, Xu Deyue challenged the Thirty-Five Battle Platforms of the Heavenly Gang.

As soon as he left, Xu Mingxian entered the first battle arena of the Earthly Fiends. Originally, a prodigy from the Black Water Region also wanted to enter, but after seeing Xu Mingxian enter, he immediately gave up his idea.

This person was also a demonic cultivator from the Blackwater Domain, but unlike the person Ye Fan challenged, he didn't conceal his strength.

His supernatural powers are comparable to Xu Deyue's, both at the level of 60% of the beginner level.

However, Xu Deyue was able to control the seven thoughts with his divine sense, and his divine sense remained the same.

She used sword techniques with one hand and the Frost Heaven Seal with the other, and could also use defensive magic artifacts in between. Although it consumed her magic power and divine sense, her divine sense was already strong, so she was very relaxed.

Under its relentless and fierce attacks, the opponent only lasted for a quarter of an hour before being killed.

He originally intended to retreat, but since Xu Deyue had revealed this trump card, he naturally wouldn't let the Blackwater Prodigy escape again, as he had done in previous battles.

She blocked his path with her defensive shield, and after several attempts, she forced him to fight Xu Deyue to the death, ultimately dying at Xu Deyue's hands.

"What an ingenious method!" Many people praised.

To be able to distract oneself to this extent is not something everyone can do.

high altitude.

Qingfeng said calmly, "As I said before, it's too early to talk about winning or losing until the very end."

"Fellow Daoist Ba Dao, look how quickly the situation has turned around."

"If it weren't for those three juniors causing trouble, it would be a pipe dream for other mediocre people to reverse this situation!"

"Talented individuals emerge in every generation; they will always be the pride of Tiannan!"

"Unfortunately, although the three of them have good potential, their foundation is too shallow. In the cultivation world, only those who stand at the top have a voice."

One top genius is worth more than dozens of ordinary geniuses!
Let's see who from either side will claim the title of the number one prodigy in this Heavenly Pride Tournament!

Seeing that no one came to challenge him, Xu Mingxian turned his attention to the Heavenly Gang Battle Platform.

The thirty-third and thirty-fourth are both prodigies from the Southern Region.

He doesn't want to take on challenges unless absolutely necessary.

Finally, his gaze fell upon the Blackwater Prodigy on the Thirty Battle Platforms of the Heavenly Gang.

After thinking it over, he flew toward his battle platform.

However, as soon as Xu Mingxian entered, the opponent immediately unleashed a terrifying palm strike, filled with demonic energy and wreathed in azure flames.

Xu Mingxian narrowly escaped, knowing that her true nature had been exposed.

However, he had anticipated this, and while dodging, he brushed past his storage bag, sending a two-patterned magic weapon flying towards his opponent.

"What can this unrefined demonic weapon do to me?"

He continued to attack Xu Mingxian, but Xu Mingxian only uttered a single word: "Explode!"

boom!
The top-tier magical artifact exploded instantly!

It was as if they were going to blow up the entire Heavenly Pride Battle Arena.

Caught off guard, the middle-aged man with black hair was severely injured and sent flying off the Heavenly Gang Battle Platform, even with his magical shield protecting him.

Although Xu Mingxian was prepared, she was still impacted by the explosion and suffered some injuries.

He immediately took the pill and then began to set up the array for his lair.

"It can be like this?"

"A level two magic weapon, worth at least several thousand spirit stones, just self-destructed like that?"

"They seem even more ruthless than those guys in Blackwater."

"This is called fighting evil with evil!"

"However, wouldn't such a self-destruction damage one's own divine sense?"

The prodigy from the Blackwater Domain at the 32nd Battle Platform of the Heavenly Gang seemed to have thought of this as well, and taking advantage of his injury, he immediately rushed into the 30th Battle Platform.

But more than ten breaths had already passed.

Xu Mingxian's formation has been fully set up.

As he rushed in, he saw the mist rising and immediately exclaimed, "Oh no!"

But by then, there was no way to escape.

Without understanding formations, escaping a low-grade second-tier mist formation is not something that can be done in a moment or two.

The Five Elements Chains attacked him.

Although he had the ability to break them, the chains were endless.

In addition, the power of the illusion kept trying to pull his consciousness into it, forcing him to be on guard.

Unable to find Xu Mingxian, he could only curse her.

But Xu Mingxian paid no heed and slowly wore him down!

"Fool!" a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in the Blackwater Domain muttered under his breath.

"Haha, I've advanced one level for no reason. Thank you, fellow Daoist."

The top talents from Tiannan on the 33rd and 34th battle platforms of Tiangang took the opportunity to advance one place. They were not stubborn and believed that advancing one place was good.

Xu Deyue, however, didn't care.

Simply hold onto your position on the Heavenly Battle Platform.

Going any further ahead is dangerous and unnecessary.

Even if the others knew what Xu Mingxian did, they dared not follow suit.

Not only would it be a waste of a top-tier magic weapon, but if the opponent isn't killed, they could recover and come back to kill you.

There has never been a precedent where Xu Mingxian occupied the battle platform and had it taken back.

After recovering from his injuries, the Blackwater prodigy from the original Thirty Battle Platforms of the Innate Divine Realm thought that even if he couldn't win, he could still escape, relying on his 70% entry-level divine power.

As a result, half an hour later, he too became a cold corpse, and was eventually burned to ashes.

Even those on the top thirty battle platforms were slightly surprised.

Xu Mingxian glanced at the prodigy in front of her and thought to herself, "Let's stop here."

soon.

On the third battle platform of the Heavenly Gang, Xu Deling left the platform, his entire body ignited with pale golden flames, and rushed into the second battle platform of the Heavenly Gang.

"If none of you move, then let me lead the charge!"

The fiery phoenix aura emanating from her body dissipated, and her pupils completely transformed into pale golden phoenix eyes.

He raised his palm, and a cluster of flames shot into the sky. The Fiery Phoenix, which swelled to several meters in size in the wind, let out a loud cry and swooped down towards the young demonic cultivator.

"The top geniuses have begun their battle!"

Someone shouted, and everyone stopped paying attention to the battle on the Earthly Fiend Battle Platform and turned their attention to it, even the Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators.

The other Heavenly Gang Battle Platforms were also paying close attention.

The top three, or rather the top eight, geniuses are all roughly equal in strength. Only a real battle will reveal who is stronger and who is weaker.

The young demonic cultivator was extremely arrogant, his eyes always cold.

However, his attack was by no means weak, and it was no weaker than Xu Deling Fengyan's demonic true flame.

The black demonic dragon and the golden flame phoenix clashed repeatedly in the air, their combined energy far surpassing any previous encounter.

Easily enough to defeat prodigies after the age of thirty.

The two were evenly matched in strength. Xu Deling possessed the Six Flames Fan, a magic weapon with three patterns, while the young demonic cultivator also had a battle sword of the same grade.

The two fought fiercely, clashing repeatedly.

The ninth and tenth Heavenly Gang prodigies from the Blackwater Region finally challenged the seventh-ranked Buddha and the eighth-ranked Lin Qingfeng.

However, the two were somewhat inferior in strength.

However, it wasn't so easy for Buddha Jin Chan and Lin Qingfeng to kill them, as they managed to escape from the battle platform.

"Amitabha Buddha, what a pity that I could not liberate you and help you be reborn in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss!"

"You bald monk, don't get cocky!"

The two returned to their respective battle platforms.

Zhang Xuanzhi charged into the ninth battle arena.

"You, ranked twelfth, dare to come here and try to freeload!"

However, Zhang Xuanzhi cultivated a sealing and demon-suppressing secret technique, which he used to imprison the demon on the Heavenly Pride Battle Platform and suppress it with the help of the secret technique.

After a fierce battle, he was actually killed!

Everyone was in an uproar!

"Benefactor Zhang's methods are truly remarkable; this humble monk is in awe!"

Zhang Xuanzhi said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Jin Chan, you flatter me. If you two had fought to the death before, I think you would have won."

Buddhist disciple Jin Chan smiled slightly, recited only one Buddhist chant, and did not give a direct answer.

Upon witnessing Zhang Xuan's methods, the Blackwater prodigies ranked behind him were all wary and dared not make a move easily.

at this time.

The Blackwater prodigy from the fifth battle platform leaped to the third battle platform.

The rest were all looking out.

"The top three are not for people from the Blackwater to occupy!"

Before the words were finished, Luo Yu transformed into a white shadow and disappeared into the third battle arena.

The two sides then engaged in a major battle.

"This humble monk will also try out the skills of this benefactor from the Blackwater region."

The cicada leaped onto the sixth battle platform.

"Then the fifth battle platform is mine." Lin Qingfeng leaped onto the fifth battle platform.

The vacant seventh and eighth battle platforms are currently uncoveted.

There is still a certain gap in strength between the top ten talents and those behind them. Even if they temporarily seize the top spot, it will not bring them any benefits.

Unless there is serious injury or death.

The battles between these parties were extremely fierce, with the intensity of the fighting being roughly equal.

Xu Deling fought the young demonic cultivator for a long time. Although their magical weapons and supernatural powers were evenly matched, the young demonic cultivator's swordsmanship was domineering and incredibly brave, gradually gaining the upper hand over Xu Deling.

"How could this be? The Phoenix Celestial Maiden is about to be defeated! Is that young demonic cultivator really that terrifying?!"

A rogue cultivator from the south murmured, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"That young man is your disciple, isn't he? I saw a trace of you in his swordsmanship," Qingfeng said calmly.

"He's just an incompetent disciple. I'm sorry to have made Fellow Daoist Qingfeng laugh at him." Badao said with a faint smile, "Once he wins against that girl, I will have Wufeng challenge that female disciple of your Qingyun Sect."

Let's see how her swordsmanship compares to my disciple's knife skills.

Half a cup of tea later.

Xu Deling suddenly closed his eyes slightly, his spiritual light abruptly receded, but his divine sense surged wildly.

A faint silver glow appeared between his brows, and an invisible divine consciousness left his body, condensing in the air into a hammer that shimmered with silver light.

The silver hammer was only half-empty, yet it exuded a sharp divine pressure, which was the secret technique of "divine consciousness transforming into a weapon"!
Xu Deling had no choice but to pull out his trump card, the "Divine Consciousness Transformation" secret technique.

Before Wu Feng could even realize it, the ethereal silver hammer had already slammed into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Xu Deling had already reached the Golden Core stage of Divine Sense at a young age. With a powerful divine soul, the divine sense techniques he condensed were naturally comparable to those of a Golden Core cultivator.

Wu Feng let out a muffled groan, his eyes suddenly losing focus. Due to Xu Deling's attack, his sea of ​​consciousness was disturbed, and his soul was injured.

Seeing the opportunity, Xu Deling raised his right hand, unfolded the Six Flames Fan, and blazed flames on the fan surface, sweeping fiercely towards Wufeng.

A pale blue light curtain appeared on its body.

There was a "boom"!
The next moment, the light barrier shattered, and flames, carrying the remaining force of the wind, slammed into Wu Feng, sweeping him off the second battle stage.

The sudden turn of events was quite surprising.

"What just happened? How did the 'Phoenix Fairy' turn the tide of battle?!"

"It seems the 'Phoenix Celestial Maiden' used some kind of magic; I just saw a silver light flashing between her brows."

Everyone was talking about it.

Wu Feng's divine soul was also exceptionally powerful, not much inferior to a newly entered Golden Core cultivator. The moment he flew off the Heavenly Pride Battle Platform, he regained his senses and then stopped in the air, looking at Xu Deling on the second battle platform.

"If you are not satisfied, fellow Daoist, why not come in again and take another blow from my hammer, and see if you still have any magical artifacts that can withstand my attack this time?"

Wu Feng's expression was solemn. If it hadn't been for the magical artifact given to him by his master activating on its own and blocking the Six Flames Fan, he would have been severely injured, if not dead, and would have had to withdraw from this battle of geniuses.

"Wait a minute." Ba Dao suddenly transmitted his thoughts, "This girl is indeed outstanding. Her physical body, magical artifacts, and bloodline are all top-notch, and her soul is a notch stronger than yours."

Although your soul is comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator, it has not undergone a transformation, and your consciousness has not advanced to the level of a Golden Core consciousness.

She is not as good as him.

Her understanding of the divine sense techniques at the Golden Core level is still relatively superficial. Otherwise, she could have killed you with her powerful Golden Core divine sense and these divine sense techniques alone.

Without the necessary foundation, there was no magical power or technique that matched the magic weapon.

She's determined to compete with the girl from the Qingyun Sect; you just watch from the sidelines.

"Yes, Master," Wu Feng replied.

Xu Deling swallowed a pill to restore his magical power while watching the battles on other battle platforms.

On the third battle stage, Luo Yu was slightly better than the Blackwater Prodigy, but killing him would be very difficult.

On the sixth battle platform, the Buddhist disciple Jin Chan's techniques had a restraining effect on the demonic path, and his physical body was also stronger, so he had the upper hand over his opponent. However, his opponent seemed to have a special bloodline, and even though he was suppressed, he was not much weaker than Jin Chan.

After Xu Deling's magic power was fully restored, his gaze turned to the No. 1 Prodigy Battle Stage.

Lu Qingxue sensed Xu Deling's gaze and looked over as well.

"In the last battle, I lost slightly because I didn't want to use my trump cards so quickly. This time, let's fight again and see who is stronger!"

Xu Deling resolutely rushed into the No. 1 Pride Battle Stage.

Ye Fan was quite excited as he watched.

Xu Chuan shook his head with a smile, but his eyes were full of satisfaction. "That's too high-profile."
