Devouring: Starting from Canglu Academy, it sweeps across all races

In the Azure Flame Illusion.

The square was already packed with people.

"Look, it's Mu Li, he's here too!" someone suddenly exclaimed, and everyone else immediately turned their attention to him.

As the second genius of the Qingyan Clan to comprehend a domain and consistently ranked first on both lists, Mu Li was very famous in the Qianlong Academy, and almost everyone knew him.

Excitement flickered across everyone's faces. Mu Li's appearance at this moment suggested that there would be a good show to watch today.

"Brother Li, come to me..."

Seeing Ji Hang waving at him from not far away, Mu Li paused, nodded to the people around him, and then walked towards Ji Hang and Pang Feng.

"You two, wherever there's excitement, you two are there... You don't need to cultivate anymore, do you?" Mu Li walked over and scolded with a smile.

"Hehe, Brother Li, what's the use of cultivation? We've already accepted our fate and are just waiting to cling to your coattails in the future." Ji Hang was not ashamed at all.

"Well……"

Mu Li raised her hand to her forehead. How could this guy talk about giving up so casually?

After a round of teasing.

"Brother Li, let me tell you about the latest battle situation... Shang Qi has now passed the 50th floor of the Dragon Tower and has strongly climbed to the top of the Hidden Dragon Ranking." Ji Hang looked at Mu Li.

"Moreover, Shang Qi is still challenging the Heavenly Ranking. At his speed, he will soon run into you."

Mu Li is number one on the Heavenly Ranking. If Shang Qi wants to reach the top of the Heavenly Ranking, the two will inevitably have a battle in the future!

Pang Feng leaned closer, his face full of anticipation, and asked, "Brother Li, are you confident you can defeat Shang Qi?"

"I don't know." Mu Li shrugged. "Shang Qi hasn't shown himself for three years. Who knows just how strong he really is?"

"That's true." Ji Hang nodded, then said with a grin, "Brother Li, but I believe you can definitely win. We'll cheer for you from the sidelines."

Mu Li smiled and patted Ji Hang on the shoulder.

……

Shang Qi's ranking on the Heavenly Ranking rose rapidly. In just half an hour, he broke into the top ten and had the opportunity to challenge for the number one spot.

[The No. 7 on the Heavenly Ranking is challenging you. Do you want to accept the challenge immediately?]

"Hmm, Shang Qi has challenged me?" Mu Li's personal terminal beeped. He opened it and saw that it was a challenge message sent by the system... He did not refuse, but clicked the confirm button.

[Successful! Please proceed to Arena #5 on the Azure Flame Illusion Peak for your duel!]

"Go, Li Ge!"

"Don't worry!" Mu Li nodded to Ji Hang and Pang Feng, and then, under everyone's gaze, went straight to the No. 5 arena of Dengtian Peak.

Upon stepping onto arena number 5, Mu Li saw that Shang Qi was already waiting for him there.

Shang Qi was still dressed in white, but his face seemed much more composed... unlike three years ago, when he had a cold and arrogant expression and a sharp edge.

"Mu Li, I've long admired your name!"

Shang Qi took a deep breath, his mind replaying the various scenes of tempering his will in the Thunder Prison World over the past three years...

"I will do everything in my power to defeat you!" He looked at Mu Li earnestly.

"What a coincidence!" Mu Li smiled slightly. "I will also do my best! And I'd also like to see just how much you've improved in these three years."

"boom!"

Shang Qi made the first move. His figure vanished from his spot in an instant, transforming into a bolt of lightning that tore through the air, arriving in front of Mu Li in the blink of an eye.

"It's the 'Lightning Strike' from 'Thunder Annihilation'!"

Mu Li remained completely calm, using the movement technique "Chasing Lightning" to nimbly dodge Shang Qi's sword strike.

At the same time, he slashed down with his sword, which was accompanied by raging flames, and struck Shang Qi with great force.

"clang!"

Shang Qi parried with his sword, and a metallic clang rang out. He felt a tremendous force on his arm, causing him to involuntarily stagger back several steps!

Meanwhile, the crowd watching below the arena was also engaged in heated discussions.

"Mu Li is incredibly strong. When the two clashed, Shang Qi was at a disadvantage."

"Tsk tsk, Mu Li has mastered the Flame Domain after all, so his power is far superior. If Shang Qi only had this much strength, he would probably be defeated by Mu Li today."

"Look, Shang Qi has made a breakthrough!"

"This is the Lightning Domain? He actually comprehended the Lightning Domain?"

On the arena, Shang Qi was surrounded by countless bolts of lightning, and a burst of light containing the intent of destruction suddenly spread out.

"Lightning Realm?"

To Mu Li's astonishment, Shang Qi's figure erupted once more, his sword light like a thunderous storm, relentlessly attacking Mu Li... With the enhancement of the lightning domain, Shang Qi had clearly become even stronger.

Mu Li remained calm. His body was enveloped in raging flames, and Shang Qi's lightning domain was forcefully suppressed when it encountered these flames.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A series of rapid explosions rang out, and the two quickly exchanged dozens of blows.

"Mu Li's flame domain is far stronger than mine. If this continues, I'm bound to lose!" Shang Qi's mind raced. "I have to take a desperate gamble!"

"Sizzle!"

Explosions rang out in the air as countless violent bolts of lightning compressed and condensed into nine blurry lightning phantoms. The outline of each lightning phantom was extremely similar to Shang Qi.

"It's actually the Ninefold Thunder Body?"

Inside the palace, Luo Xiong, who was watching the battle, showed a look of surprise... This was the ultimate move from "Thunder Annihilation," and one had to comprehend the lightning domain to have any chance of successfully cultivating this move.

"Haha, Luo Xiong, you should just admit defeat!" Meng Ao was in a good mood. "I admit that Mu Li is indeed very strong, but Shang Qi has cultivated the Thunder Annihilation Technique for many years and has even successfully cultivated the Ninefold Thunder Body. You should know the power of this move. Mu Li is definitely no match for my disciple!"

"Meng Ao, that's not necessarily true." Luo Xiong showed no sign of panic. "Just watch, we'll soon find out who wins and who loses."

"Haha, you'd better get your 100 cubes of cosmic crystals ready. Don't try to deny it if you lose." Meng Ao felt he had the victory in his grasp, and that Luo Xiong was just being stubborn.

One hundred cubic meters of cosmic crystals... Even for powerful beings like them at the Eternal Star level, it would take them over a decade, braving the thunderstorms of the Thunder Prison World, to dig for so many cosmic crystals.

Back in the ring.

Shang Qi was like a thunder king, with nine lightning phantoms simultaneously wielding their swords... In an instant, the nine dazzling sword lights converged together, exuding endless destructive intent, and condensed into a terrifying thunder sword light!

"Mu Li, this is the strongest sword strike I have honed over many years. If you can withstand this strike, then I will no longer be able to fight."

"Buzz—"

The lightning sword light instantly tore through space, emitting a piercing sizzling sound. Its speed surpassed the limits of human reaction, shooting towards Mu Li like a dazzling meteor.

The crowd below the arena was horrified. Even through the barrier on the arena, they could clearly feel the terrifying aura of destruction and violence. Could anyone really withstand that?

"Is Mu Li going to lose?"
