Chapter 672: Chapter 502: Supreme Emperor of Heaven
Above the tournament stage, clouds surged, and Dao Principles crisscrossed.
Prodigies from thirty-six provinces gathered, their auras intertwining like tides, reaching straight into the sky.
The clash of blades and Sword Qi with Dao Domains resounded continuously.
Each province had three or five seed contestants, none ordinary, with nearly everyone having prematurely comprehended top-level Dao Domains and perfected their secret techniques.
The eighty-eight slots for the Mahayana Treasure Realm would surely arise from among these people.
Previously, Qi Mang had excellent luck; although the opponents he faced had battle power, none were among the seed category, allowing him to clear each stage without a loss.
This was partly due to his own formidable strength and also due to the organizers’ deliberate separation of seed contestants to prevent premature exhaustion.
It wasn’t until the tenth match of the domain competition did Qi Mang finally meet his first true seed prodigy.
"Tenth match, Qi Mang versus Kong Xiu!"
...
On the heavens, Qi Mang stood with hands behind his back, the dark-colored Tribulation Dao Domain quietly spread out, like a heavenly curtain descending.
Within the Dao Domain, golden-black Sword Patterns flowed, the "Ten Directions Refining Tribulation and Destiny Sword Body" had been fully leveraged, each inch of muscle and bone contained the power to tear through the sky.
Opposite him stood a young man dressed in an ice crystal Daoist Robe, his face stern, surrounded by five streams of Spirit Light: blue, yellow, red, white, and black.
He was Kong Xiu, the direct disciple of Dharma Master Bi Cang of Beiji Immortal Mansion, the top prodigy ranked second in the province competition.
Kong Xiu’s body evolved Five Elements Dao Domain, with five streams of Spirit Light intertwining into a web, exuding a heavy and violent destructive aura:
"Fellow Daoist Qi, please!"
Qi Mang’s tiger eyes slightly narrowed, Sword Qi stirred within the Tribulation Dao Domain, his tone calm but fighting spirit high: "Come!"
Kong Xiu’s eyes flashed coldly, without further words.
The Five Elements Dao Domain around him surged, the five streams of Spirit Light soared into the sky, instantly converging into a five-colored divine light spanning the heavens and earth.
Where the divine light passed, the void shattered, and Dao Principles annihilated, it was his proud secret technique — the Great Five Elements Reversal Celestial Light.
"Fellow Daoist, take my move!"
Boom—
The five-colored divine light, carrying the power to open the heavens, crashed toward Qi Mang, wherever it passed, countless Dao Principle runes within the divine light turned to dust.
Whoosh~
Qi Mang let out a long howl, suddenly stepped forward, the golden-black Sword Patterns around him surged, directly manifesting the true form of the Mountain Monarch.
The "Ten Directions Refining Tribulation and Destiny Sword Body" operated fully, every part of his body refined to the extreme, every strand of hair could transform into a Tribulation Sword ripping through the void.
"Ten Directions Tribulation Sword Seal!"
The giant tiger roared with head high, the Tribulation Dao Domain thoroughly fused with the Sword Body’s essence, countless golden-black Sword Qi crisscrossed.
The tiger’s claw descended, forming a sky-covering Sword Seal, crashing toward the five-colored divine light.
Crack—
At the moment the Sword Seal collided with the five-colored divine light, the world fell silent.
The Five Elements divine light voraciously devoured the power of the Sword Seal but was also continuously eroded and disintegrated by the Power of Tribulation.
The two terrifying forces stalemated.
The void twisted into an eerie vortex under the pressure, Earth Fire, Wind, and Water seethed and roiled, countless bolts of lightning birthed and annihilated within the vortex.
Kong Xiu’s expression was grave:
"Such a strong Sword Body, it can actually withstand my divine light!"
"Dao Domain and Sword Body complement each other, truly not one to be trifled with!"
He moved his hands again, the Five Elements Dao Domain fully exploded, the five-colored divine light’s power surged, faintly seeming to suppress the Sword Seal.
Qi Mang also felt the pressure increasing dramatically, and with a thought:
"Boundless Breaking Destiny Sword Qi!"
The Sword Seal exploded instantly, countless golden-black Sword Qi scattered, like a torrential rain pouring toward Kong Xiu.
Rumble!!
Kong Xiu’s body was shielded by the Five Elements divine light, defending against the relentless Sword Qi.
Yet, upon touching the divine light shield, the Sword Qi did not dissipate but instead adhered to it, continuously devouring the divine light’s source.
He roared in anger, his form flickering, transforming into five Five Elements avatars, each wielding the Magical Treasures of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, attacking Qi Mang in a siege.
The clones were linked with the main body’s aura, the power of the secret technique doubled.
The giant tiger agilely avoided, golden-black Sword Qi surrounding its body, battling with the five avatars.
The sound of Sword Body collisions, Dao Domain vibrations were incessant, the golden-black tribulation swords and five-colored Five Elements light intertwined and entangled.
Destruction Dao Rhymes filled the space between heaven and earth, even the void was battered beyond recognition.
Beneath the main stage, Qin Ping’an and Zhang Mingyu stood side by side, eyes tightly locked on the battle, their expressions tense.
Qin Ping’an’s green robe fluttered, the illusory aura around him slightly condensed:
"This Kong Xiu’s Five Elements secret technique is too domineering, this battle might be hard to decide."
Zhang Mingyu nodded in agreement, eyes filled with admiration:
"Brother Qi and this Kong Xiu are both top prodigies; it will be hard to determine who will win in a short period!"
In the nearby spectators’ stands, several top-level Refining Void Great Powers stood shoulder to shoulder, conversing in low tones.
"Who do you think will win this?"
"Qi Mang’s Tribulation Sword Body is bizarrely aggressive, and Kong Xiu’s Five Elements divine light is both offensive and defensive, both are top-notch."
"It’s hard to tell! Both are direct disciples of the Dharma Master; Qi Mang’s Sword Body and Dao Domain complement each other, while Kong Xiu’s secret techniques are exquisite and his foundation deep."
Above the clouds, the Dharma Masters also focused their gaze here, their expressions varied.
Dharma Master Hong Jue looked at Chen Sheng beside him and smiled:
"Fellow Daoist Pan Wu, your disciple has encountered a formidable opponent!"
"Kong Xiu is Dharma Master Bi Cang’s most prized disciple."
Chen Sheng chuckled lightly, his gaze falling on the battlefield, his eyes showing a hint of admiration, then exchanged glances across the space with Dharma Master Bi Cang not far away.
Dharma Master Bi Cang, wearing a black-gold battle armor, his aura calm and deep, nodded slightly when Chen Sheng looked over, his expression calm.
Chen Sheng also slowly nodded.
...
A short period passed.
In the battle, Qi Mang and Kong Xiu had already fought tens of thousands of times, both sustaining injuries.
Kong Xiu’s Five Elements avatars were slain, three of them, the power of the Five Elements divine light greatly reduced, and blood spilled from his lips.
