Cultivation: I Have a Skill Level Panel

At that moment, a massive circular hole, thousands of zhang wide, appeared in the dark clouds above.

A pillar of sunlight shot through the giant hole, connecting heaven and earth and emitting a dazzling glow.

In the otherwise dark landscape, the giant beam of light shining down brought an unexpected touch of warmth.

However, even this sunlight that pierced the heavens could not reach the bottom of the abyss.

The bottomless abyss below remained endlessly dark, without a single trace of light, as if some unseen, unknown power was sealing it off, shrouding the chasm in darkness.

Soon,

The three didn’t linger, transforming into streaks of light that tore through the gloomy, violent gales. They skimmed across the top of the abyss, continuing toward the mysterious point marked on the ancient map.

Meanwhile,

deep within the endless abyss,

beneath the suppression of countless intersecting, profound arrays,

an incomparably terrifying and domineering figure slowly opened his profound eyes, which seemed to hold the starry sky itself.

His profound gaze seemed to pierce through the deep darkness of the chasm, see beyond the Supreme Secret Realm, and reach directly into the vast, endless cosmos beyond the Celestial Essence Vault.

His limbs were bound by giant golden locks covered in profound runes, while his chest and back were suppressed by a mysterious Technique with tadpole-like symbols, rendering him completely immobile.

From the endless darkness of the chasm, a deep, ancient voice murmured,

’Even if I am suppressed by this chasm, I will exist for all eternity!’

’You rats had better not die before I do. When I break this seal, I will refine you all in Eternal Hell!’

’Soon...’

After a long flight, Gu Yun and his party

had arrived on the opposite side of the chasm, where ancient, towering trees filled their vision.

They were now drawing ever closer to their destination.

At that moment, somewhere inside the Supreme Secret Realm,

on an extremely vast plain,

numerous Cultivators were staring intently at two figures facing each other in the sky above.

One, a powerfully built figure with an Overlord Saber on his back, stood suspended in the air with his arms crossed. His long hair and robes billowed without any wind as he stared at a handsome man in a golden brocade robe some distance away, a Longsword hanging at his waist.

The young man with the Overlord Saber was Shen Turi, ranked thirty-ninth on the Hidden Dragon List. The young man in the golden robe was Yu Wenhua, an expert ranked even higher at thirty-sixth.

Both were renowned prodigies, and the air between them now crackled with the promise of a fight.

"Do you think Shen Turi can successfully challenge Yu Wenhua?!"

"Hard to say. After all, Yu Wenhua’s strength is quite formidable!"

"Yu Wenhua made it to thirty-sixth on the Hidden Dragon List in his sixties, while Shen Turi only reached thirty-ninth at seventy. Isn’t it obvious who’s stronger?"

"Hmph, don’t underestimate Shen Turi! I heard he’s already broken through to the True Martial Realm Sixth Layer!"

The surrounding Cultivators buzzed with discussion about the duel between the two from the Hidden Dragon List. After all, in the entire vast Eastern Profound Domain, the list contained only one hundred young experts under the age of a hundred, and nearly every one of them was a generational prodigy.

It was rare to see even one of them on a normal day, but now the opening of the Supreme Secret Realm had drawn them here. The crowd couldn’t help but spectate eagerly, discussing the matchup amongst themselves.

The next moment,

Shen Turi made his move. With a loud roar,

"Yu Wenhua, let’s fight!"

he erupted with the vast True Yuan of the True Martial Sixth Layer Early Stage. A ferocious momentum radiated from him, his black hair whipping about wildly as his aura surged like a berserk dragon.

Then, gathering his immense power, he threw a punch that tore through the air. The force of the blow seemed powerful enough to topple mountains and overturn seas, threatening to shatter space itself.

In an instant, his body crossed hundreds of zhang, carrying a force as heavy as a mountain as he hurtled toward Yu Wenhua.

Seeing this, Yu Wenhua’s calm eyes remained undisturbed.

In the next instant,

a vast True Yuan, also at the True Martial Sixth Layer Early Stage, erupted from his body. Golden light shot into the sky like a hundred-zhang-tall flare, and a terrifying pressure enveloped the area, causing the surrounding space to tremble.

Below, the Cultivators watching from thousands of zhang away were horrified. Those at the True Martial First and Second Layers gasped, while the Cultivators in the Spiritual Martial Realm trembled uncontrollably. The power on display was utterly terrifying.

Faced with the immense power of the incoming fist, which whistled through the air like a falling mountain,

Yu Wenhua showed no intention of dodging. He clenched his fist, and the surging golden True Yuan around him swirled like a torrent, suddenly coalescing into a golden Flood Dragon that roared at the sky. It then coiled around his body, layer by layer, forming an incredibly tough defense.

BOOM!

The tremendous impact slammed into the protective barrier formed by the golden True Yuan Flood Dragon, instantly erupting in a powerful shockwave.

A brilliant light flashed across the sky, and the surrounding space vibrated with violent ripples.

Amid the intense tremors, a storm of True Yuan swept out in all directions.

The powerful aftershock tore crisscrossing fissures into the plains hundreds of zhang below.

In the very next instant,

a cold glint flashed in Yu Wenhua’s eyes. His other hand clenched into a fist, gathering vast golden True Yuan, and he threw a punch that tore through space toward Shen Turi.

But Shen Turi’s reaction was just as astonishing. The very moment Yu Wenhua moved, he threw another punch with the force of a crushing mountain!

Fist against fist!

The air roiled with another turbulent shockwave. The two combatants flickered, reappearing high above the clouds. After several more powerful clashes, they pulled apart.

A sharp glint flashed in Yu Wenhua’s eyes.

"Celestial Spirit Golden Flood Dragon Palm!"

Golden True Yuan erupted around him as he unleashed several consecutive palm strikes. Each one gathered immense True Essence Power, and the brilliant golden light illuminated the sky.

Golden Flood Dragons, each dozens of zhang long, soared into the air. They swam through the void, forming an intersecting, inescapable killing formation as they converged on Shen Turi.

"Bring it on!"

The domineering Shen Turi showed no fear as the massive golden Flood Dragons closed in to kill him.

Instead, he let out a hearty laugh.

A fierce light erupted in his eyes, and a flash of sharp saber light flickered within his gaze, seeming to slash open the very heavens.

"Blood Shadow Celestial Saber!"

The next instant, the Overlord Saber on his back appeared in his hand. He then unleashed a series of slashes imbued with Sword Momentum at the attacking golden Flood Dragons.

Several arcs of blood-red Sword Qi soared into the air, transforming into crimson beams that illuminated the sky. The blood-red Sword Qi tore through space as it slashed violently toward the golden Flood Dragons.

SHIIING!

The blood-red Sword Qi clashed with the golden Flood Dragons, and the terrifying arcs of energy sliced them apart before tearing through space in a final, deadly strike aimed at Yu Wenhua.

Seeing this,

a flicker of change finally appeared in Yu Wenhua’s calm eyes.

"Not a bad move."

"But that’s all it is."

A glint of sword light flashed in his eyes, sharp as a blade piercing the heavens.

ZING!

The Spiritual Weapon Longsword at his waist let out a clear cry that instantly echoed across the heavens.
