Immortal Refiner

On the simply reforged Dao Discussion Stage, Prince Liyang stood imposingly, continuously displaying various secret royal family divine abilities amidst the awed gazes.

His fighting style was full of iron-blooded temperament, obviously a killing method honed through long periods in battle formations.

The Xiangtuo clan's expert was beaten miserably. No matter how thick his skin was, his body was covered in hideous, bleeding wounds.

"Saint Elephant Suppressing Sea Seal!"

A giant elephant appeared above the Dao Discussion Stage, its four feet causing the entire ground to tremble violently.

Fortunately, the Combined Body stage experts present were vigilant, otherwise, the violent aftershocks of the earthquake would have caused the land within a thousand miles to collapse.

Prince Liyang's face was stern, and he formed hand seals, offering his spiritual treasure!

A blue great bow exuding baleful aura appeared in Prince Liyang's hand. This great bow had no arrows, but he still assumed the posture of drawing the bow and nocking an arrow.

Someone exclaimed:

"It's the Heavenly Wolf Bow! The inherited spiritual treasure of the Heavenly Wolf Division of the Thirteen Heavenly Cavalry, a powerful Earth-grade spiritual treasure!"

"Each of the Thirteen Heavenly Cavalry Divisions possesses a unique Earth-grade spiritual treasure, only the leader who is qualified to be the commander of a division can master it."

"That's right, although these spiritual treasures are powerful, they are difficult to control, because after many owners, they possess various complex auras. It is quite time-consuming to make them recognize a master."

"It seems that Prince Liyang has truly mastered the Heavenly Wolf Bow. His aura is perfectly integrated with it, and there is no sense of awkwardness when activating it."

"..."

Accompanied by exclamations, Prince Liyang, standing imposingly, continuously drew the bowstring, each time almost drawing it to its full extent.

In an instant, nine spirit light arrows containing Prince Liyang's mana shot out simultaneously.

Swish swish swish!

The air was pierced through. Before the sound of piercing the air could be heard, nine glaring blood holes had appeared on the body of the giant elephant.

"Roar!" A painful roar resounded, and the aura of the Xiangtuo clan's giant elephant quickly weakened, collapsing in a short while.

Bang!

The Dao Discussion Stage shook violently three times. This giant elephant was completely defeated and had no strength to fight anymore.

His body was huge, but in front of Prince Liyang, who controlled the Heavenly Wolf Bow, he was a complete living target, with no possibility of dodging.

And each spirit light arrow of the Heavenly Wolf Bow was equivalent to a strike from an Earth-grade spiritual treasure. No matter how strong the Xiangtuo clan's expert's physical body was, how could he continue to withstand it?

So he simply chose to admit defeat. If he continued to fight, what awaited him might be death!

In this regard, no one felt that his surrender was too hasty, and all believed that it was a wise choice.

An Wang, who recommended this Xiangtuo clan expert, had a face as still as an ancient well at this moment, unable to see any emotional fluctuations, as if he didn't care about this defeat at all.

"Royal Brother Liyang is really amazing! Imperial Concubine often tells me that each inherited spiritual treasure of the Thirteen Heavenly Cavalry is extremely difficult to control. I didn't expect Royal Brother to have refined one!" A princess said with stars in her eyes.

The others nodded repeatedly. This was not a false rumor, it was a well-known fact throughout the Dayu Kingdom.

"Prince Liyang is still superior, defeating a powerful enemy and entering the final round."

"Worthy of being a leader of the royal family, His Highness Liyang has been tempered in the military for so many years, these days have not been in vain."

"I really want to send my good-for-nothing rebellious son to the Thirteen Heavenly Cavalry for training, he only knows how to enter those pleasure places in Yujing City all day long!"

"..."

The palace competition has progressed to the present, and many officials in the court have also come to watch the competition.

After all, it concerns the ownership of a piece of Black Iron Shield. Whoever can obtain it can then enter the Xuantian Divine Palace.

If there are any gains, it would be truly beneficial.

Soon, gazes fell on Li Qing, who was standing beside Ning Wang.

This time, no one dared to look at Li Qing with contempt anymore. Since he defeated the young master of the Yan family, everyone has recognized his strength.

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that Li Qing only has the cultivation of the early stage of Refining Void, being able to overcome two small realms to defeat his opponent, is enough to prove his extraordinary nature.

"This son is also quite extraordinary, I have never heard of his reputation before."

"His Highness Ning Wang has been managing the fiefdom for a long time, it shouldn't be difficult to hide one or two geniuses with obscure reputations."

"The outcome of this final round should still be uncertain, right?"

"It's really hard to say, although that peerless killing sword is unparalleled in sharpness, His Highness Ning Wang also possesses the Heavenly Wolf Bow, definitely not inferior to that sword with amazing power."

"Well, it depends on who has more trump cards hidden. At this time, no one should hold back."

Li Qing analyzed the current situation in his heart. Finally, he slowly closed his eyes and calmed his mind.

Not long after, another sound of iron armor colliding came from the Dao Discussion Stage.

After only a short rest, Prince Liyang stepped onto the stage again, apparently, the battle with the Xiangtuo clan's expert just now did not consume too much of his strength.

This confirmed what Li Qing thought in his heart. He opened his eyes and said softly: "Doesn't His Highness Liyang want to recover for a while longer?"

Prince Liyang, with a solemn expression, looked at Li Qing and said: "No need, I have taken Myriad Year Spiritual Milk, and my mana has basically recovered. You can come on stage."

Hearing this, Li Qing took a deep breath, and then leaped out in one step, appearing on the Dao Discussion Stage in an instant.

Clang!

Without even waiting to say any polite words, Prince Liyang drew out a black long spear!

This was his natal spiritual treasure. The fine protrusions on the spear shaft were said to be refined from the scales of an eighth-order Combined Body stage Blackwater Flood Dragon, which could bring extremely strong blessings to the spear shaft.

Seeing this, Li Qing also unceremoniously offered his killing sword.

The golden light flashed in the arena, shocking many people outside the arena. No matter how many times they saw it, they felt that this sword was really amazing.

"This spear is named Black King, I wonder what the name of your precious sword is." Prince Liyang asked in a deep voice.

Li Qing was slightly startled. Since the Immortal Slaughtering Sword was refined, it was the first time that someone had taken the initiative to ask him the name of this killing sword, it was still the first time.

But it's no wonder others, because Li Qing rarely spars with others like this on the arena.

In the past, when he offered the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, the opponent was either seriously injured or directly died, how could anyone ask the name of this killing sword.

"This sword is named Immortal Slaughtering Sword, please enlighten me, Your Highness Liyang." Li Qing said, and the mana in his body began to flow into the sword.

Hearing the words "Luan Xian," the atmosphere in the arena became silent again. Even Prince Liyang was intimidated by the name, which carried such intense killing intent.

"To dare to use 'Luan Xian' as a name, you have quite the ambition," Prince Liyang exclaimed.

Even in this vast Spirit Realm, it's estimated that there hasn't been a successful ascension to the Immortal Realm for at least hundreds of thousands of years.

Now, rumors of the Immortal Realm have become increasingly ethereal.

"It's just a sword name I casually chose; it doesn't warrant such praise from Your Highness," Li Qing replied indifferently.

If he knew the names of the remaining two killing swords he planned to forge, who knows what he would think?

"Please enlighten me!" Prince Liyang's expression suddenly turned stern as he thrust out the Black King Spear, suppressing Li Qing.

Boom!

The terrifying force shattered the air along its path, its momentum extremely fierce.

Without a word, Li Qing also slashed out the Luan Xian Sword horizontally.

Clang!

As the two spiritual treasures collided, the Dao platform, which had only recently been repaired, once again showed a multitude of cracks.

Golden sword energy and dark black spear light intertwined, appearing evenly matched, but before long, the golden light became even more dazzling.

After all, it was a killing sword that had been fused with a wisp of Golden Origin Fiend Light, and the quality of the Luan Xian Sword itself was quite extraordinary, still surpassing Prince Liyang's own natal magic weapon by a notch.

However, the latter did not recall the killing sword but instead took out the Sky Wolf Bow once more.

Seeing this, Li Qing activated the Golden Thread Treasure Armor and the Great Sun Golden Flame within his body.

Boom!

A round of golden sun emerged from above his head, its brilliant golden light dazzling to the extreme at this moment, and he was also draped in a golden light cloak.

At this moment, Li Qing seemed to have transformed into a golden battle immortal, with a golden sun above his head, his entire being holy and otherworldly.

Soon, a series of piercing sounds rang out, and before Li Qing could react, nine consecutive spirit light arrows shot at him.

Fortunately, with the protection of the Golden Thread Treasure Armor, he did not suffer severe damage like the giant elephant before. The golden light blocked all of the spirit light arrows, and Li Qing only felt a slight impact on his physical body, with his Qi and blood only slightly disturbed, and nothing serious.

"Another Earth-grade spiritual treasure..." Prince Liyang recognized the quality of the Golden Thread Treasure Armor on Li Qing at a glance. It was definitely an Earth-grade spiritual treasure, and also a very rare defensive spiritual treasure.

He knew that attacking Li Qing with ordinary arrows would no longer have any effect. Only by completely unleashing the power of the Sky Wolf Bow could he break through Li Qing's defense.

But Li Qing didn't want him to launch a charged attack so easily. The round golden sun above his head spewed out a mass of golden flames.

Boom!

Prince Liyang did not have the fire-avoiding spiritual treasure that Yan Hui possessed. His expression changed slightly, and he retreated.

However, the Great Sun Golden Flame seemed to be everywhere, and soon golden flames began to burn on his body. Before long, the armor on his body showed signs of damage.

He endured the burning pain of the Great Sun Golden Flame and forcibly drew the Sky Wolf Bow.

However, this time he did not immediately release the bowstring but maintained the drawn bow posture for a long time.

This kind of willpower made everyone present tremble slightly, thinking that this prince was really not simple, his determination could not be taken away, and his mind could not be disturbed by any thoughts.

Even the Empress Dowager nodded secretly, a hint of appreciation showing in her phoenix eyes.

Seeing this, Li Qing also deeply admired the other party's willpower. He truly knew how painful the Great Sun Golden Flame was when it burned. He himself had suffered a lot when he refined it.

Before he could continue to sigh, Prince Liyang's fingers trembled slightly, and it seemed that he was about to release the bowstring.

Li Qing took a deep breath and fully activated the Golden Thread Treasure Armor, and then split his mind in two, forming hand seals.

"Five Elements Creation and Destruction!"

This was a powerful Five Elements divine ability that he had comprehended when he previously studied the Five Elements secret technique. He evolved the mutual generation and restraint of the Five Elements within his body, and the Dharma seal formed by his hands was constantly intertwined, constantly repeating the two processes of creating the world and destroying everything.

Prince Liyang suddenly opened his eyes. At this moment, he released the finger that had drawn the bowstring to its fullest.

Zheng!

The entire world became quiet, leaving only the sound of the bowstring vibrating.

Everyone present couldn't help but hold their breath, looking at Li Qing.

The protection of the Golden Thread Treasure Armor was directly pierced through, the golden light on his body shattered, and the golden cloak behind him quickly disappeared.

But Li Qing did not suffer substantial damage. In the palm of his hand, a Five Elements Dharma seal resisted the spirit light arrow.

The next moment, a violent spiritual energy aftermath exploded from in front of him, instantly pouring out.

Regarding this, the Integration Stage experts present had long anticipated it and immediately took action to suppress the spiritual energy aftermath.

Before the light dissipated, a light roar representing auspiciousness resounded between heaven and earth.

"Woo roar!"

Along with this auspicious and pleasant roar, the entire sky was dyed with a layer of five-colored light.

The next moment, a five-colored Kirin stepped out from the brilliant light.

"This is a Kirin?! This true spirit representing auspiciousness has actually appeared!"

"A Kirin descends into the world?!"

"No, this is the Kirin precious technique displayed by Prince Liyang. He has indeed cultivated this true spirit inheritance."

"Hiss, the precious technique inheritance of a true spirit, this is not something that ordinary secret techniques can compare to. How will that person respond?"

"Moreover, this is the true body of the Kirin! Prince Liyang is truly blessed, he must have obtained the true blood of the Kirin, otherwise it would be impossible to transform into the true body of the Kirin!"

"..."

The entire place was in an uproar. This was the highest level of the Kirin precious technique, transforming into a Kirin. If one had not obtained the true blood of the Kirin, it would be impossible to display this technique to this extent.

Even the several princes present were shocked.

This was a level that only the Great Yu Emperor, that is, their imperial father, could reach. Even they themselves could not display the true body of the Kirin.

"That kid is probably finished... With the Kirin precious technique, who among his peers can compete with Prince Liyang?"

But before the voice could fall, the Dao platform, which was originally filled with auspicious aura, suddenly exuded a sense of coldness.

This cold aura came very abruptly, and no one had reacted, because the true body of the Kirin was too dazzling, and everyone's attention was on watching the Kirin.

Soon, everyone followed this cold and domineering aura.

Only to see that in the midst of the large amount of smoke and dust, eighteen golden eyes like lanterns suddenly emerged.

"Hiss hiss roar!"

Along with the sound of this snake spitting its tongue, a large amount of smoke and dust dissipated.

Boom!

A huge nine-headed snake coiled up its body. This nine-headed snake had a cold aura, but it looked extremely noble and domineering, not losing to the five-colored Kirin at all!
