Chapter 2209: Chapter 2210: Beast God Battles Taiyi! (Third Update)
Luo Fu was so strong that he fought Stone Demon Lord to a draw. This result was shocking to other martial artists, but to the prodigies at the highest tier, it was a tremendous threat.
It’s important to know that Stone Demon Lord’s strength was considered second only to Tai Yi. Although this ranking is derived from various factors, people generally agreed with it. Now that Stone Demon Lord couldn’t defeat Luo Fu, it meant Luo Fu had instantly ascended to the height of a powerhouse second only to Tai Yi.
Both Tai Yi and the Wanderer had to be cautious of this.
After all, he was someone who could match the Stone Demon Lord equally.
Stepping off the battle stage, Luo Fu smiled bitterly, still unable to defeat Stone Demon Lord. Beast Spirit felt Luo Fu had done well enough.
"Next, it’s my turn," said Beast Spirit.
Luo Fu looked to another side, where Tai Yi Saint Heir was standing, and reminded, "This guy is definitely more terrifying than Stone Demon Lord. Be careful."
Beast Spirit smiled lightly and stepped onto the Supreme Saint’s battle stage.
"Tai Yi Saint Heir, dare you engage in a battle?"
As soon as he stood on the battle stage, Beast Spirit openly challenged, causing another huge commotion.
One round of Supreme Saints’ confrontation had just ended, and another was about to play out?
"Exciting show, Qing Lin is going to clash with Tai Yi."
"Qing Lin is considered one of the most terrifying geniuses of the ancient beast faction, while Tai Yi Saint Heir is basically the number one of the young generation among humans. Their duel is definitely worth watching."
"Today we are truly fortunate, with Supreme Saints’ duels one after another."
Everyone became excited again; it was a case of one wave still unrested when another arose.
Beast Spirit issued the challenge, and all eyes turned to Tai Yi Saint Heir.
Would he accept?
"Do you want to probe my strength for Ye Qiu?" Tai Yi Saint Heir said indifferently, his voice reaching everyone’s ears.
At this point, some recalled the incident from a couple of days ago when Tai Yi Saint Heir declared he wanted a life-and-death duel with Ye Qiu.
"So, is Qing Lin really going to pave the way for Ye Qiu?" someone immediately remarked.
Everyone knew Ye Qiu had good relations with Qing Lin and Luo Fu. When Ye Qiu returned, he had openly chatted and laughed with them and furthermore, spent a lot of military merit points for the two.
Now hearing Tai Yi Saint Heir’s words, people felt that Beast Spirit’s move did indeed have the implication of preparing the way for Ye Qiu.
Some thought Ye Qiu was too cowardly, letting a woman lead the charge to understand the true nature of Tai Yi Saint Heir, which seemed unmanly.
Others felt Beast Spirit was too bold, daring to challenge Tai Yi publicly, a courage not everyone has, especially since Beast Spirit had the confidence to make such a challenge.
At this moment, there were all kinds of opinions, but when it came to predicting the likelihood of victory if Beast Spirit and Tai Yi clashed, the consensus was that Tai Yi had the greatest chance of triumph.
Tai Yi Saint Heir’s strength was deeply rooted in the hearts of some, and even among talented individuals from other planets, Tai Yi Saint Heir was indeed formidable. While Beast Spirit was also strong, belonging to the first tier of talents, she was ultimately a woman. Even if she’s from the ancient beast faction, she would be somewhat overshadowed when compared to someone like Tai Yi, who has long dominated the top position.
Some people seem born to be kings, like Tai Yi Saint Heir. If anyone tries to dethrone him, what’s needed is not just courage but overwhelming strength.
Very few can achieve this step.
"Fight, or not fight?" Beast Spirit did not explain, only lightly uttered these words.
Although many knew that Beast Spirit’s move was likely to probe Tai Yi’s strength, would Tai Yi comply with her wish now?
The crowd wanted to know too.
Under the gaze of everyone, Tai Yi Saint Heir’s face suddenly broke into a smile.
Staring at Beast Spirit, he slowly said, "Since you wish to fight for him, I will satisfy you."
With that, Tai Yi Saint Heir started walking step by step onto the battle stage.
Standing opposite Beast Spirit, Tai Yi Saint Heir still wore a faint smile: "Do you know why I agreed to fight you?"
"You are very confident," Beast Spirit replied.
Tai Yi’s expression showed a hint of surprise, "That’s right, I’m confident I’m invincible, so even though I know you’re probing the way, I won’t refuse. Because even if you tell him how strong I am, my disadvantages, even weaknesses, I have confidence I will defeat him."
As he spoke, an aura of invincible force emanated from Tai Yi, surrounding his presence.
Having invincible confidence makes a martial artist more fearsome because extreme self-assurance allows them to better control their power and perform at over two hundred percent of their capability.
Of course, those possessing this invincible self-belief are always the ones with solid strength.
A weak person cannot possibly possess this mentality, or they’d kneel instantly before a stronger opponent.
"Then strike,"
Everything said was superfluous; both were Supreme Saint powerhouses, and strength was the language.
The Beast Spirit had been contemplating for days and emerged today, challenging Tai Yi, not only for Ye Qiu but chiefly to test herself. She wanted to know the gap between her and Tai Yi.
Even if the consequence was being defeated before the eyes of everyone.
The battle erupted instantly.
Their duel was faster and more intense than the previous fight between Luo Fu and Stone Demon Lord.
In the sky, three order-enforcers stared at the battle on the stage below.
Jia Luo, excitedly, said, "This Tai Yi is indeed a great seedling, not far from touching the edge of the cosmic order, with boundless prospects."
"This little one from the ancient beast lineage is also quite impressive; she hasn’t even displayed her true form yet. It seems she’s retaining her strength. I’m rather curious about what her utmost power would look like." Difen, the order-enforcer, said thoughtfully.
Among the three, only Pu Zhen remained silent, his expression calm. Jia Luo and Difen knew Pu Zhen was only interested in Ye Qiu. No other genius caught Pu Zhen’s attention.
They couldn’t understand, is Ye Qiu really that outstanding?
Even surviving the demon wave and obtaining a surplus of cores, how did it matter? The quantity of cores alone doesn’t determine how far a person can travel on the martial path.
...
In the depths of the ancient city, the place of enlightenment.
Here the sky is dim, and the surroundings seem chaotic, hazy.
A figure sat cross-legged on a stone, eyes closed in cultivation, for nearly half a month now.
Suddenly, his tightly closed eyelids began to move slowly, his eyeballs seemingly turning, yet his eyes remained shut.
In the next instant, his eyes abruptly opened, and two beams of light shot from them, piercing through the gray mist in front.
"Cosmic boundary, I have seen you!"
Ye Qiu’s eyes burned like divine flames, and a faint smile rose on his face. Unexpectedly, what was meant to be a brief retreat yielded great rewards.
