Chapter 1992: Chapter 1992: A Harsh Slap in the Face!
"This year’s Great Dynastic Tournament has truly been an eye-opener for this old man!"
At this moment, Elder Xun strolled out, smiling as he said:
"Congratulations to you five for successfully advancing to the top five!"
"The next round will still be conducted through a drawing of lots!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the square was abuzz with excitement, because any matchup between these two would undoubtedly be thrilling!
"This time, there still will be one person who won’t have to compete, but if I continue to designate Young Master Luo to have a bye, it would be somewhat unfair!"
Elder Xun continued to smile:
"So, this time, the person who gets a bye will also be determined by drawing lots!"
In fact, none of those who made it to the top five have expended much True Yuan or energy!
Even Shi Zaitian from the Black Flame Sect had it relatively easy!
It’s imaginable that if Luo Qianqiu were to make a move, it would be quite similar, perhaps even easier!
From this perspective, his earlier bye doesn’t really count as gaining any advantage!
However, now that they are in the top five, it’s different—any matchup feels like a battle of life and death!
Yet, the ensuing draw left everyone speechless!
Because the one with a bye turned out to be Luo Qianqiu once again!
What kind of luck is this?!
To put it this way, Luo Qianqiu hasn’t even made a move and is already in the top three?!
This is too absurd, although his strength is certainly solidly top three, even recognized by everyone as the number one before this!
However, this time it’s determined by drawing lots, so no one can find fault!
When the crowd looked at Luo Qianqiu, they discovered he showed no change in expression, no hint of surprise at having the bye!
As if it were something trivial and insignificant!
Next, the crowd focused on the remaining two matchups!
They are Zhang Xiao versus Shi Zaitian;
Yuwen Min versus Su Chen!
Even though missing the opportunity to see Luo Qianqiu’s moves earlier is somewhat regretful, these two matches are equally full of spectacle!
In the eyes of many, Zhang Xiao and Shi Zaitian, including Yuwen Min, might not be much worse than Luo Qianqiu; a true contest among them gives no absolute advantage to anyone!
The only one who might be slightly weaker is Su Chen, someone they hadn’t heard of before!
Yet, he cannot be underestimated!
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to easily defeat Wu Chen!
The greatest attractions of these two matches are: one is the strongest contest beneath Luo Qianqiu; the other, despite Su Chen’s slight disadvantage, is equally tense due to the enmity between both sides!
Because both matches are full of spectacle and draw intense attention, it doesn’t matter which match goes first or second!
Finally, under Elder Xun’s announcement, Zhang Xiao and Shi Zaitian took the stage first!
As they stepped onto the Douwu Platform, their aura was unleashed like ferocious beasts leaving the forest, spreading around!
Before they even moved, the space between them seemed to be ravaged by blades and swords, left in ruins!
This is the contest among masters, a test of momentum, of resolve, of foundations!
Motionless as a mountain!
But suddenly, the two moved simultaneously!
This movement was like tempestuous winds and surging waves, shaking heaven and earth!
In an instant of swordplay, they exchanged several blows, evenly matched!
If one must say, Shi Zaitian even held a slight advantage, which many hadn’t expected!
"Zhang Xiao, you might as well admit defeat!"
Shi Zaitian calmly stated.
"Oh, why?"
Despite the earlier disadvantage, Zhang Xiao didn’t seem overly concerned.
"I’ll tell you clearly, my power is undefeated beneath the Creation Realm!"
Shi Zaitian declared proudly:
"This time, my only opponent is Luo Qianqiu!"
"All others do not catch my eye!"
"Oh, really?"
Zhang Xiao responded nonchalantly.
Seeing Zhang Xiao’s attitude, anger surged in Shi Zaitian’s heart!
"If that’s the case, I’ll fulfill your wish!"
Shi Zaitian shouted furiously, and promptly, with a phantom grasp, a light sphere appeared in his hand!
The light sphere was filled with boundless malevolence; even the slightest leak made one’s heart tremble!
More terrifyingly, the light sphere kept growing, its contained malevolence increasingly abundant and intense!
Suddenly, Shi Zaitian hurled the light sphere, which seemed to transform into an ancient fierce beast, pouncing towards Zhang Xiao!
Everyone witnessing this moment was immensely shocked!
With just this move, Shi Zaitian could indeed be considered invincible beneath the Creation Realm!
Too powerful!
With such a person, the Black Flame Sect’s future is remarkable!
Can Zhang Xiao withstand it?!
"Indeed impressive!"
However, Zhang Xiao nodded, even offering a compliment!
Subsequently, he voiced an enigmatic remark—"It’s time to end this!"
Before finishing his words, a long sword appeared in his hand!
One sword strike!
The Sword Qi commanded the heavens!
Encompassing all directions!
The sword’s hum pierced through, as if a giant mountain fiercely descended!
The entire void seemed utterly obliterated, destroying everything!
The milky white True Yuan on the sword was so dense it couldn’t disperse, reaching an ultimate abundance!
At this moment, the decisive sword cleaved towards the light sphere!
"Creation Realm?! Zhang Xiao is at the Creation Realm!"
Instantly, a Sect Elder exclaimed!
As soon as he spoke, every face turned filled with astonishment!
No one expected Zhang Xiao had already surpassed the Great Supreme Realm Nine Turns, reaching the level of the Creation Realm!
Too incredible!
A prodigy among prodigies!
Shi Zaitian’s expression drastically changed, turning nearly pale; his previous confidence and pride vanished without a trace!
He hadn’t expected this situation to arise!
Who could have guessed Zhang Xiao hid his true cultivation level?!
At this moment, he has no time to react!
"Boom boom boom~~~~"
The next moment, the sword struck the light sphere!
Clearly seen!
The light sphere seemed pierced and shattered,
Unleashed chaotic energy swept everywhere, pervading the entire space!
The whole space pressed to an extreme!
Meanwhile, one figure flew backward like a kite with broken strings!
After a moment, it crashed heavily onto the ground!
No words can describe the crowd’s shock!
Not because the powerful Shi Zaitian lost, but because Zhang Xiao reached the Creation Realm!
The Creation Realm is not something spoken of lightly!
Among the present Elders, only a few have reached it!
Throughout the Ancient Dynasty, those at the Creation Realm are few and far between!
The most difficult to accept this reality was Shi Zaitian himself, who gazed at Zhang Xiao on the Douwu Platform, unable to believe!
Now he realized that there’s always someone better, a higher sky beyond the skies!
At this moment, Zhang Xiao glanced at Shi Zaitian, calmly saying:
"Invincible beneath the Creation Realm is ultimately beneath the Creation Realm!"
These words brought a flush of red to Shi Zaitian’s face!
Because they seemed to slap him hard, given he just claimed he was invincible beneath the Creation Realm!
