Chapter 215

Chapter 215: You All Can Come at Me, I, Li Xingyao, Fear Nothing!

At the center of the Nine Heavy Barriers, beneath the Yuanwu Tower.

The Holy Maiden of the Fuyiao Sword Sect, Li Xingyao, single-handedly faced off against the eight top experts, sending the treasure of the Dan Ding Sect, the Heaven-Subduing Cauldron, flying with her bare hands, stunning everyone.

“Boom!”

With a massive crash, the Heaven-Subduing Cauldron smashed down onto the Yuanwu Tower.

The Yuanwu Tower stood still, completely unfazed.

The cauldron bounced back twice and then crashed to the ground.

The hard blue bricks below cracked with loud splits.

At this moment, the entire venue fell silent.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Ye Feiyang, Chu Guixi, Qin Fei, Jiang Ting, Li Fan Yin, the Supreme Dao Child, Dan Yangzi, Wang Kunpeng—these eight top experts all scattered, surrounding Li Xingyao.

Thanks to the dazzling light manipulation technique, this scene was broadcasted onto the massive screens at the four mountain gates of Yuanwu Mountain.

It was also displayed on the light screen above the celestial platform outside the Nine Heavy Barriers.

Everyone witnessed this spectacle.

Not only was the venue silent, but the countless people gathering outside the four mountain gates of Yuanwu Mountain were also quiet, taken aback by this scene.

Li Xingyao truly deserved to be the Holy Maiden nurtured by the Fuyiao Sword Sect.

Her cultivation level was simply unmatched among her peers.

If anyone could compete, it seemed to be only Xiao Yang.

However, Xiao Yang was currently just at the peak of the Heavenly Martial Realm, and comparing his level to Li Xingyao’s was like comparing someone on the ground to someone in the sky.

Everyone was filled with curiosity.

What could the peak Heavenly Martial Realm Xiao Yang use to battle the current Li Xingyao?

It seemed this year’s competition was once again destined for the Fuyiao Sword Sect to claim the first place.

The Fuyiao Sword Sect would continue to dominate the Yuanwu Immortal Domain.

With countless cultivation resources from the Yuanwu Immortal Domain at their disposal, the Fuyiao Sword Sect would grow stronger in the Northern Region, producing even more outstanding sword cultivators.

Although the other nine sects were not weak, it was evident that they had fallen far behind the Fuyiao Sword Sect.

If this continued, the entire Northern Region would belong to the Fuyiao Sword Sect.

If this persisted, no one would ever be able to shake the Fuyiao Sword Sect’s position.

Xiao Yang stepped back to watch the show.

Among the eight experts, Qin Fei and Jiang Ting were the weakest.

Especially Jiang Ting, with her Heavenly Martial Realm cultivation.

Even if Jiang Qitian exhausted all his efforts to boost his precious daughter’s cultivation, Jiang Ting was still only at the Great Completion stage of the Heavenly Martial Realm.

In the Qingyang Sword Sect, her cultivation would definitely rank among the top three among the younger disciples.

But here, it simply wasn’t enough.

“Lu Fusheng, if you don’t make a move now, you’ll miss your chance,” Ye Feiyang called out to Lu Fusheng who was holding his sword off to the side.

At this moment, Lu Fusheng looked like a drawn sword, radiating a murderous aura.

The ancient sword he cradled in his arms exuded an even more terrifying killing intent.

That was the treasure of the Divine Sword Manor, the most fearsome sword in the Northern Region—the Killing Sword.

Though not as famous as the Fuyiao, Qingyang, or Qingyun—three legendary swords of the Northern Region—its power was certainly on par with them.

This sword was forged by the ancestor of the Divine Sword Manor to rival the three great swords.

Many lives were lost in the creation of this sword.

In the end, the ancestor of the Divine Sword Manor sacrificed himself by jumping into the furnace to allow this vicious sword to be born.

Since then, every wielder of this sword met a terrible fate.

Thus, the Killing Sword was sealed within the sword tomb by the Divine Sword Manor.

Until Lu Fusheng inadvertently stumbled into the sword tomb and unlocked this legendary fierce sword, it was finally allowed to reemerge.

Lu Fusheng said nothing, nor did he act.

As the sword master of the Killing Sword, he scorned the idea of teaming up with others.

“Is the Heavenly Medical Sect not making a move either?” Ye Feiyang turned to the Heavenly Medical Sect’s Holy Maiden, Ning Shu.

Ning Shu actually disliked fighting; she only wanted to heal and save people.

However, trapped in her role as the Holy Maiden, she had no choice but to participate in the competition.

“Junior sister, make your move!” Tang Chen urged anxiously.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

In the Northern Region, even if the nine sects teamed up, they could never compete with the Fuyiao Sword Sect.

But it was different here.

The Yuanwu Immortal Domain was protected by the will of the Immortal Dao.

As long as they defeated Li Xingyao in this competition, the Fuyiao Sword Sect would lose its title as the strongest sect in the Northern Region and be stripped of its access to the Yuanwu Immortal Domain.

Because only the sect that claimed first place in the competition could settle in the Yuanwu Immortal Domain, controlling it for sixty years and having a chance to ascend to the seven celestial mountains above to gain the legendary Immortal Martial inheritance.

Tang Chen had lost an arm and was severely injured while traversing the Nine Heavy Barriers.

Getting this far had been sheer luck.

Ning Shu exchanged a glance with Xiao Yang, but she didn’t step forward.

“Junior sister, you…”

Tang Chen was incredibly frustrated.

Miss this opportunity, and they’d have to wait sixty more years.

Moreover, the Fuyiao Sword Sect would undoubtedly become even stronger in sixty years.

That was without a doubt.

The spiritual energy in the Yuanwu Immortal Domain was incredibly dense.

Even if a pig were tossed in, given enough time, it would become a genius.

Over the past thousand years, the Fuyiao Sword Sect had produced countless sword dao geniuses from the Yuanwu Immortal Domain.

Any disciple casually emerging from the Fuyiao Sword Sect could contend with the true inheritors of other sects.

The other major sects had no idea how much they wished to see the Fuyiao Sword Sect dethroned from its position as the strongest sect in the Northern Region.

The competition was the opportunity.

“You can all come at me together, what have I, Li Xingyao, to fear?”

Li Xingyao asserted with immense power. Scanning the crowd, her killing intent surged, and the Fuyiao Sword emitted a continuous resonance in her hands.

This was the treasured weapon of the Fuyiao Sword Sect, one of the three great swords of the Northern Region.

With the Fuyiao Sword in her hand, the eight top experts felt a tingle at the back of their necks.

Ning Shu ultimately did not act.

Lu Fusheng coldly cradled the Killing Sword, standing to the side.

As for Xiao Yang, he still looked like he was enjoying the show.

Nie Ruhua, Hua Mengli, and the others stood behind Xiao Yang.

Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang only listened to Xiao Yang.

As for Lei Renjie, he was now a wreck, completely lacking the qualification to act.

Only the profoundly deep-rooted descendants of the top ten sects could reach this point.

Others were merely cannon fodder in this competition.

Even the descendants of the top ten sects found it exceedingly challenging to make it here without a protective treasure.

After all, the ascension decree wasn’t something just anyone could obtain.

The Immortal Martial inheritance wasn’t something accessible to everyone.

“What are you all waiting for? Attack!”

Ye Feiyang was all in; he released all the ferocious beasts from his beast-containment pouch.

In an instant, terrifying beasts appeared before him, roaring at Li Xingyao.

This was his last resort.

Golden battle lions, earth-shattering bears, bloodthirsty wolves, blazing god eagles, and other fearsome beasts, each exuding a terrifying and frenzied aura.

Every single one of these beasts was a seventh-tier ferocious beast.

Ye Feiyang seemed to have gone mad at this point.

Having just lost his left arm to Li Xingyao’s sword, blood now drenched half his body.

Ye Feiyang desperately unleashed the Ten Thousand Beast Mysterious Skill, grotesque and terrifying beast shadows surging around him, baring their fangs and roaring with might.

At this moment, everyone stopped holding back.

“Clang!”

Wang Kunpeng unleashed the full power of the Ten Absolute Battle Armor; out sprang ten arms from the armor, each wielding a weapon.

A chilling killing intent emanated from Wang Kunpeng, shocking everyone with the sight.

“This Ten Absolute Battle Armor is interesting!”

Lin Wangchuan’s eyes sparkled at the sight.

Qin Fei and Jiang Ting also pushed their mysterious skills to their limits.

Li Fan Yin produced a jade flute.

Dan Yangzi recalled the Heaven-Subduing Cauldron, holding it up as he fully activated this treasure of the Dan Ding Sect.

A surge of energy even stronger than before erupted from the Heaven-Subduing Cauldron.

The Supreme Dao Child tightly gripped the hilt of the Supreme Sword, watching Li Xingyao with eyes hidden behind a smiling mask.

Chu Guixi raised his hand, and the Guiyuan Xuanwu Seal appeared at his palm.

“Kill!”

With Ye Feiyang’s furious roar, he launched a full-force punch toward Li Xingyao.

This was the Ten Thousand Beasts Divine Fist from the Beast Control Manor.

The terrifying punch rippled through the void.

The ferocious beasts lunged at Li Xingyao.

“Clang!”

Finally, the Supreme Dao Child drew his sword.

The Supreme Sword transformed into an indestructible sword light cleaving toward Li Xingyao, its sharp edge tearing through the air.

Wang Kunpeng, clad in the Ten Absolute Battle Armor, leaped into the air, appearing directly above Li Xingyao, his ten arms wildly swinging their weapons down at her.

“Swish!”

Qin Fei unleashed the Qingyang Sword Technique with all his might, releasing vibrant sword light that pierced toward Li Xingyao.

Dan Yangzi smashed down the Heaven-Subduing Cauldron at Li Xingyao.

Jiang Ting frantically propelled her flying sword toward Li Xingyao in an attempt to kill her.

A shrill tune from the flute resonated as invisible sound waves sliced toward Li Xingyao like sharp blades.

Li Fan Yin played the jade flute with all her might, causing visible ripples in the space around her that expanded outward, penetrating Li Xingyao’s mind.

Chu Guixi activated the Xuanwu Seal, sending a massive seal soaring into the sky, transforming into a hill-sized form, releasing terrifying power that crashed down upon Li Xingyao.

Everyone was stunned by this scene.

Yet, eight powerful experts were fully striking at Li Xingyao.

Even if Li Xingyao was a Half Saint and held the treasured Fuyiao Sword of her sect, could she possibly withstand this?

Meanwhile, Xiao Yang still watched the scene calmly.

“True Phoenix Undying, Divine Phoenix in the World…”

Li Xingyao roared, and in the next moment, a phantom of a divine phoenix surged forth from her, spreading its wings and unleashing endless divine fire.

The sword qi of the True Phoenix Undying Sword Technique’s fifth level erupted from Li Xingyao, unrestrained.

The beasts charging at the front instantly turned to ashes.

“What…”

Ye Feiyang realized the gravity of the situation.

In the next moment, the invincible True Phoenix Sword Qi swept out in all directions.

The eight top experts were instantly sent flying away.
