Chapter 1254: The Wan Yu Tower’s Rankings (1)
After Wu Yuan’s series of battles with the Immortal Court's True Saints, the upper echelons had surely gotten a measure of his abilities by now. Not long ago, he had forced three powerful True Saints to retreat, undeniable proof of his capabilities. Given that someone still dared to approach him, and alone at that, they must possess overwhelming confidence in their strength.
The Immortal Court stationed only a handful of Full True Saints in the Nine Chaos Voids. Based on the appearance of the figure before him, Wu Yuan immediately recognized him.
"True Saint Wu Yuan, your eyesight is good indeed. This is our very first encounter, yet you are able to recognize me," True Saint Yan Huo's voice cut through the air like winter frost. "You are quite the elusive quarry. I've hunted you for over twenty days, yet you've managed to slip through my grasp."
His tone darkened. "But now, I've finally caught up to you.
"Now that I'm here, there's no need for you to run anymore." As he spoke, True Saint Yan Huo's figure expanded until it towered a million li high. Waves of overwhelming aura radiated outward as endless flames blossomed around him, engulfing the vast void in a sea of fire.
Under the onslaught of these boundless flames, the already weakened confusion array shuddered and then collapsed.
What a powerful domain secret art. Wu Yuan murmured in genuine admiration, though his vigilance never wavered.
This was, after all, the True Saint ranked 12th on the True Saint Rankings, a being who stood at the pinnacle among tens of thousands of True Saints across the cosmic sea. His power far surpassed True Saint Mu Jiang and True Saint Xiao Yao’s.
It could be said that below the Dao Zenithels, almost no one could guarantee True Saint Yan Huo's defeat. Even someone as mighty as True Saint Tian Chan, while capable of besting him, would likely lack absolute confidence in delivering a killing blow.
Wu Yuan recognized that he still fell short compared to these apex True Saints in terms of Dao cultivation.
"Haha, of course I won't run," Wu Yuan's laughter rang out clear and confident. "My true self came to the Nine Chaos Voids precisely to test my mettle against the most powerful True Saints of the cosmic sea."
His eyes glinted with anticipation. "With True Saint Yan Huo willing to serve as my whetstone, I couldn't be more delighted. Why would I flee?" Despite recognizing his opponent's strength, not a shred of fear tinged Wu Yuan's expression.
