Cultivation: I Have a Skill Level Panel

"Qingming Wood Dragon Technique!"

In the next instant,

vines as thick as water buckets appeared out of thin air, filling a space thousands of feet wide.

Countless vines then intertwined and coiled, instantly forming a ferocious, several-thousand-foot-long wooden dragon!

"ROAR!"

With a furious roar, the colossal, ferocious wooden dragon seemed to shatter the very air with its vibrations.

It then soared into the sky, blotting out the sun as it lunged forward to bite at the terrifying Fiery Flame Fist Seal, which resembled a meteor from beyond the heavens!

"RUMBLE!"

The two exceptionally powerful Magic and Martial Techniques collided violently in mid-air.

An explosive blast erupted instantly, and the surrounding void churned like a boundless, raging sea.

The Fist Seal, as dazzling as the scorching sun, and the terrifying, ferocious wooden dragon clashed madly, flashing with an intensely brilliant light.

A terrifying shockwave swept out in all directions.

Under the impact of the aftershock, the hard stone slabs of the arena collapsed almost instantly.

At the edge of the stage, an arcane, faintly glowing defensive barrier rose up, deflecting all the damage.

After just a moment of the colossal wooden dragon and the terrifying Fiery Flame Fist Seal clashing in mid-air,

cracks began to appear on the sun-like Fiery Flame Fist Seal where the dragon was biting it.

Sure enough,

in the next instant...

"BANG!"

The thousand-foot-long Fiery Flame Fist Seal, brilliant as the sun, was shattered by the immense, ferocious, gnarled wooden dragon.

The terrifying Fiery Flame Fist Seal scattered like fireworks, and the dreadful, high-temperature residual flames burned out as they dispersed in all directions.

But the colossal wooden dragon, formed from countless intertwined, bucket-thick vines, continued its unstoppable advance, hurtling toward the tiny figure!

Not far away, Xiao Chen’s gaze hardened. He watched the utterly massive, ferocious wooden dragon tear through layers of space, emitting a heaven-shaking roar of energy as it came for him, blotting out the sky.

’It’s not going to be that easy, just as I thought.’

Xiao Chen wasn’t surprised at all.

His opponent was, after all, a Cultivator at the True Martial Realm Ninth Layer Middle Stage and a prodigy at that. The power he wielded was far greater than that of an ordinary Cultivator at the same level.

But that wasn’t a reason for him to lose.

Since they were matched up, he would fight with everything he had.

Xiao Chen’s reaction speed was astounding.

The instant the terrifying wooden dragon tore through the sky to devour him,

he stomped hard on the void, sending out ripples like water.

His body shot across several thousand feet in a flash, like a fiery meteor,

his peerless speed allowing him to evade the colossal dragon’s attack range!

"THUD!"

The ferocious dragon instantly smashed through Xiao Chen’s afterimage.

It then crashed into the vast arena below.

It slammed a thousand-foot-wide crater into the hundred-li-wide stage, sending shattered rock flying and enveloping the sky in a massive cloud of dust!

’This is going to be a tough fight,’ Xiao Chen thought, a heavy feeling in his heart as he stood in the air at one end of the arena and looked down at the thousand-foot-wide crater.

"Hm?!"

Xiao Chen suddenly sensed a crisis descending upon him.

A hand suddenly reached out from the void directly above him.

It turned out that in the same instant Xiao Chen had moved to dodge,

Pei Ye had also shot into motion, tearing through the sky to appear right above him.

A cold glint flashed in Pei Ye’s eyes.

"Fall!"

The hand he extended from the void, as flawless as white jade, instantly caused ripples to spread through the surrounding space. A clear, resonant sound, like surging tides, echoed through the sky.

It was as if he had summoned a boundless ocean with a mere flip of his hand!

"Water Tribulation Divine Wood Palm!"

Suddenly,

a blue-green light flashed in the sky above Xiao Chen.

A massive Palm Seal, seeming to contain the power of myriad divine woods and a boundless sea, descended from the heavens. It crushed the void with its immense momentum as it pressed down on Xiao Chen!

Sensing a crisis akin to a blade at his back, Xiao Chen’s pupils contracted sharply.

The massive, interwoven blue-green Palm Seal above him, which seemed to contain myriad divine woods and a boundless ocean, exerted an immense pressure on him.

An imperceptible lock on his energy made it...

Impossible to flee!

Impossible to dodge!

It seemed as if he was about to be defeated and killed by this single attack.

’Are you kidding me?!’

’How could I possibly lose just like this?!’

’If I can’t dodge it,’

’Then... I’ll meet it head-on!’

Xiao Chen’s resolve hardened. A fiery light blazed in his eyes, like a sun rising in endless darkness, shining with unprecedented brilliance.

"Triple Flame Extinction Devourer!"

Suddenly, three terrifying flames of different colors erupted around Xiao Chen: the ice-blue, bone-chilling Frost Cold Spiritual Fire that seemed to freeze the very heavens; the immensely dense Cyan Lotus Water and Fire that could burn through anything; and the Purple Brilliance Void Celestial Flame, as dazzling as a star, that incinerated the void.

The three terrifying flames spun wildly around Xiao Chen.

They then transformed into three Heaven-Reaching pillars of flame of different colors, shooting straight into the clouds.

Wielding an incredibly terrifying, searing heat that incinerated the void, they stood between heaven and earth as they smashed toward the giant Palm Seal that seemed to contain myriad divine woods and an endless ocean!

"RUMBLE!"

The two incomparably powerful moves collided fiercely in the sky,

instantly creating an earth-shattering explosion.

In that instant, a gale whipped up, and an intensely biting wind surged.

The space for thousands of feet around shattered like glass,

revealing pitch-black abyssal rifts in the void.

A terrifying flow of chaotic energy gushed out like a monstrous beast, a horrifying sight to behold!

Strangely, however,

the world fell deathly silent at that moment.

There was no sound, only the brilliant, interweaving light.

But,

after a single breath,

the power generated by the collision of the two incredibly powerful moves erupted violently,

expanding like a blazing sun to annihilate all matter, both tangible and intangible, in the vicinity!

Vast swaths of space collapsed one after another.

The arena below buckled as if in an earthquake, and a web of intersecting cracks, like ferocious, angry dragons, tore it to pieces!

"HISS!"

"This... This is too strong!"

Seeing the apocalyptic scene, the crowd couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath.

They swallowed hard and exclaimed in shock.

"If I’m not mistaken,

those three terrifyingly powerful flames are all Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fires:

the Frost Cold Spiritual Fire, the Cyan Lotus Water and Fire, and the Purple Brilliance Void Celestial Flame!" a rather old man in magnificent silken robes said, his voice trembling slightly.

"What?!"

"Three Spiritual Fires? How is that possible?!

Spiritual Fires repel each other! For an ordinary person to obtain even one is a heaven-sent opportunity.

How can he wield three of them?!" a disciple from another Sect who had come to participate cried out in shock.

From a distance, Gu Yun witnessed the scene

and couldn’t help but sigh with emotion in his heart.

’That guy Xiao Chen’s luck is simply Heaven-Defying.’

’A Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire is something most people could never obtain in their entire lives,’

’yet he holds three of them!’

’It’s truly enough to make anyone jealous!’

Seeing Xiao Chen’s Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fires, he couldn’t help but think of the information about the Vermilion Bird Heaven-Burning Thunder—one of the Twelve Divine Thunders—that he’d found on a battered old Jade Scroll he’d obtained after killing an enemy once.

’But it’s not in the Eastern Profound Domain. It’s in the Southern Wilderness Domain, hundreds of millions of li away.’

’It’s so remote that an ordinary person could probably never reach it in their entire lifetime!’

’But so what?’

’Every single Heaven and Earth Divine Thunder is an incredibly tantalizing prize for a Thunder Law Cultivator!’

’Not to mention, I also have the Extreme Spirit Thunder Skill, a Secret Technique of the Divine Abilities class that I acquired from the ruins of the Black Flame Sword Sect.’

’After I subdue a Heaven and Earth Divine Thunder,’

’I can use the Extreme Spirit Thunder Skill to achieve a Postnatal evolution into the Celestial Thunder Dao Body.’

’And the Celestial Thunder Dao Body is an extremely powerful Thunder Dao Physique.’

’Once I possess the Celestial Thunder Dao Body, my prospects will be truly limitless, and my future bright.’

’Therefore, the allure of this Vermilion Bird Heaven-Burning Thunder is doubly potent for me.’

’I simply can’t refuse such a tremendous temptation.’

He made up his mind. After this tournament was over, he would set out for the Southern Wilderness Domain.

"BANG!"

High above the vast arena,

the three terrifying, Heaven-Reaching pillars of flame and the massive Palm Seal containing myriad divine woods and an endless sea gradually annihilated each other in the void after their collision.

’How is this possible?!’

Pei Ye’s pupils shrank.

’My attack was powerful enough to rival an ordinary True Martial Ninth Layer Late Stage expert, yet it only resulted in a stalemate against him.’

’What’s his Cultivation level?’

’And what’s mine?’

’This is just too Heaven-Defying!’

"Die!"

In the instant that Pei Ye was still in shock,

Xiao Chen waved his hand. A flash of light appeared, and a long spear engraved with arcane dragon patterns materialized in his grip.

A gleam flashed in Xiao Chen’s eyes. He stomped hard on the void, sending out layers of ripples as his body became like a bolt of blood-red lightning.

Tearing through the sky, he swung the spear. Searing flames erupted, burning through the void as he ruthlessly cleaved down at Pei Ye with the force of vast Divine Power!
