Chapter 427 - 426: A Youth Sealed as a Marquis (Part 1)
Ding Li’s death happened in a flash. One moment he was like a Demon God, and the next, his body was obliterated, his corpse incinerated to nothing.
Many people rubbed their eyes as if they had seen a ghost.
The spectators in the stands were even more dumbfounded.
More than that, their faces were deathly pale. The power of Ding Li, creator of the Seven Kills God Sealing Technique, was beyond imagination—even some Elders were no match for him.
And yet, Ding Li was killed in a single blow!
"That’s a Heaven and Earth Divine Fire!"
"It seems to be the Fire of Hope, one of the Heaven and Earth Divine Fires!"
A Great Power recognized the pure white flame swirling around Qin Feng. It flickered like stars, shifting between tangible and illusory. This pure white flame spread like a wildfire. Everywhere it passed, the entire arena stage was scorched white. Even the Seven-Faced Black Killing Banner was wreathed in a layer of the Fire of Hope, and countless Demon Souls let out horrific screams.
One Great Power sighed softly, a touch of regret in his voice. "Ding Li was too careless. To have created the Seven Kills God Sealing Technique, he was truly a stunning talent. How could he have known that Qin Feng wielded a Heaven and Earth Divine Fire? His Seven Kills God Sealing Technique was instantly broken, the Divine Ability backfired, and Qin Feng killed him in one move!"
Despite saying this, the expressions of the two Great Powers were grim.
Ding Li was one of the ten reincarnations from the Ancient Main Stars of All Stars Academy. He was destined for great achievements in the future, yet now he had been killed prematurely by Qin Feng.
If they didn’t know that Qin Feng was also a reincarnated star spirit, they would have likely seized him to be punished immediately.
"Damn it, that kid’s killing intent is too strong. I was only half a breath too slow, and he managed to kill Ding Li!" one of the Great Powers lamented.
A peerless genius reincarnated from an Ancient Main Star... this was a loss that not even the Star Sect could afford.
"Fortunately, this boy is also a reincarnated star spirit. According to my calculations, he must have also fused with the Star Mystical Meaning of an Ancient Main Star. Among the many experts who are star spirit reincarnations, they can devour one another. Since this child killed Ding Li, he will surely obtain the majority of Ding Li’s gifts. His future achievements won’t be poor!"
Despite these words, the other Great Power sighed. "Still, this was our oversight. One mountain cannot hold two tigers, let alone so many reincarnated star children. When their Qi Fortunes collide, it’s inevitable that they will devour one another to strengthen themselves!"
The first Great Power nodded. "It seems we should advise the Supreme Sect Leader. It’s best to separate these good seedlings, train and test them individually. We cannot let them meet before they have truly matured!"
The two Great Powers wore long faces.
...
The referee flew onto the stage. He gave Qin Feng a sideways glance; for the first time, the cold-faced Elder showed some emotion as he looked at Qin Feng.
Surprise, mingled with a sigh.
"Eighth match, Qin Feng wins!" Glancing at where Ding Li had been utterly refined into ash, the Elder gave a faint, wry smile.
"Qin Feng, congratulations on entering the top three and becoming a Sealed Marquis of the sect!"
"Thank you, Elder." Qin Feng gave a slight bow, a faint smile on his face.
While Qin Feng had majestically slain Ding Li on stage two, the battles on the other two stages were still raging fiercely.
On stage one, Ye Ding fought Zhang Xuan.
On stage three, Shenxiu was locked in a bitter struggle with the Eight Desolate Emperor, Gao Tianyang.
Qin Feng glanced over. On stage three, Shenxiu and Gao Tianyang were evenly matched; both possessed powerful legacies.
In terms of offensive power, Gao Tianyang, with his legacy of the Primordial Dao—one of the Ancient Ten Paths—had a slight edge over Shenxiu.
But Shenxiu, with his legacy from the Pure Land Sect and the Empty Profound White Elephant Scripture, stood firm on the ground like an Arhat Vajra. He manifested the Demon Suppression Technique and the Pure Land Myriad Phenomena, and for the moment, Gao Tianyang could do nothing to him.
Half an hour later, the match on stage one was the second to conclude.
RUMBLE!
Ye Ding activated his Kunpeng Swallowing Heaven Great Divine Power, and one black hole after another appeared within him, devouring all the Sword Qi and Primordial Qi that Zhang Xuan unleashed. It even seemed poised to swallow the Void itself.
Zhang Xuan’s figure vanished into the Void, fleeing rapidly through it, but he still couldn’t escape the Kunpeng Swallowing Heaven Great Divine Power.
Zhang Xuan’s Primordial Qi was being rapidly depleted. His eyes turned cold. He suddenly spun around and transformed into a sharp sword that enveloped Ye Ding.
’That’s a technique from the Lifeless Sword Way,’ Qin Feng’s eyes lit up. ’Legend says that mastering this sword technique is like mastering the Supreme Mystical Meaning of the Holy Sword Refining God Technique—transforming oneself into an indestructible Godslaying Sword. With one slash, all things are shattered!’
Caught off guard, the black holes outside Ye Ding’s body were instantly shattered. Qin Feng saw Ye Ding’s face turn pale in an instant.
He was clearly injured, but at the critical moment, Ye Ding dodged, avoiding the fatal blow.
The next moment, he instantly rallied. The black holes in his body erupted once more, and a massive one enveloped Zhang Xuan, who couldn’t escape in time.
A savage grin flashed in Ye Ding’s eyes. In the next moment, he was about to completely devour Zhang Xuan.
Just then, a streak of white light appeared in the Void, like a long river, splitting the arena stage into two banks like the Celestial River.
’That’s Space Power! To manifest Space Power into a Celestial River... though the two of them seem to be only one stage apart, they are actually separated by millions of miles! Is this the power of a Great Power who has passed the Chaos Tribulation?’ Qin Feng stared at the white river in amazement, and deep within his Spiritual Sea, the Book of ’Yu’ stirred restlessly.
Qin Feng forcefully suppressed the restless Book of ’Yu’, which wanted to devour the river of white light.
On the stage, Ye Ding’s expression turned grim. He activated his Kunpeng Swallowing Heaven Great Divine Power and tried to cross the river of space, but with a single tremor from the river, the black hole formed by his Divine Ability nearly shattered on the spot.
Ye Ding’s plan to devour Zhang Xuan was completely ruined. Qin Feng couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
A Great Power emerged from the white light and appeared on the stage. His face was grim, and his eyes held a trace of anger.
"Ninth match, Ye Ding wins!"
After the cold announcement, the Great Power glanced at Zhang Xuan, who was biting his lip. A flicker of relief crossed his eyes. If not for the lesson from Qin Feng and Ding Li’s match, which had put him on high alert, they might have lost another reincarnated star genius this time.
Hearing the Great Power’s words, Ye Ding’s face was sullen. Although he had defeated Zhang Xuan, he couldn’t feel happy about it at all.
On stage three, the match was also decided at that very moment. A terrifying wave of vast golden light erupted from Shenxiu, dyeing the entire Arena of the Stars into a golden kingdom. Qin Feng’s expression changed; it was as if he saw a true Merciful Buddha being born, with a thousand hands and a thousand fists. With a single punch, Gao Tianyang was sent flying off the stage and fell below.
BANG!
Gao Tianyang’s body flew backward, flipping several times before landing on the ground. He couldn’t stop his momentum as he retreated, leaving a long gash in the pristine ground below the stage, a gash that was over three feet deep.
After a moment, Gao Tianyang finally stopped, clutching his chest.
PTUI! He couldn’t stop a mouthful of blood from spraying out of his mouth.
On the stage, the golden light dissipated, revealing Shenxiu’s pale figure. He collapsed into a sitting position, his hands pressed together in a prayer gesture. His handsome face was filled with compassion. His silver Battle Armor was covered in countless marks, and many parts of it were torn.
Qin Feng knew with a single glance that Shenxiu was also running on empty. He was probably finding it incredibly difficult to even remain standing.
In comparison, Gao Tianyang was actually a cut above, but unfortunately, he had already fallen off the stage. According to the rules, he had lost.
(This volume is about to end, with another Chapter or two to go. A new adventure is about to begin, and of course, it won’t be short on passion and beautiful women.)
