In the front VIP seats.
“It seems this fellow is dead set against joining our Dao Alliance.” The Great Elder of the Void Clan said coldly.
After all, Lin Yun still had not stated his position by now, which almost confirmed the matter.
They understood that if Lin Yun chose not to join the Dao Alliance, he had only one other path, which was to throw the match in the finals.
“As long as he knows how dangerous his current situation is, he should know what choice to make.” The Great Elder of the Void Clan said.
When only the time for one stick of incense remained before the finals began, Lin Yun finally appeared in the square.
Lin Yun’s arrival drew countless gazes.
The enthusiasm of everyone’s discussions grew even stronger.
“If Lin Yun really takes the championship, he will break the monopoly of the Dao Alliance and the six major powers on the Peak Tournament champions over the past one or two million years!”
“He wants to win, but it will not be that easy. Ji Gu of the Void Clan is extremely strong, and with a Source Artefact in hand, Lin Yun is still somewhat lacking.”
“Yes, Ji Gu’s chances of victory are clearly much higher.”
…
Amidst the buzz of discussions and eager anticipation from the crowd, the time reached ten o’clock in the morning.
“Everyone, next is the final of the Peak Tournament. Please welcome Lin Yun and Ji Gu onto the stage to compete for this tournament’s championship!”
The resounding voice of the Wanbao Pavilion Master echoed across the entire venue.
Hearing this, Lin Yun immediately flew towards the arena ahead and landed on the stage.
Ji Gu of the Void Clan also descended onto the arena and stood opposite Lin Yun.
At that moment, the scene fell much quieter.
All eyes converged on the arena, on the two figures standing upon it.
Everyone knew these two were both extremely strong, but there could only be one champion!
On the arena.
“Lin Yun, the championship is not for an outsider like you to covet. I advise you to give up now and spare yourself the pain.” Ji Gu exuded extreme arrogance.
As the prodigy of the Void Clan’s new generation, nurtured with the full resources of the Void Clan and famous since youth, his arrogance came as no surprise to Lin Yun.
Many geniuses and prodigies brimmed with such pride.
“Sorry, the championship is mine!” Lin Yun replied with a confident smile.
Deep in his heart, did Lin Yun not harbour his own pride?
Even without a Source Artefact, Lin Yun believed he could compete with Ji Gu. Now with one in hand, he was confident of claiming the championship!
“Hmph, big words. Today, I, Ji Gu, will defeat you!”
With those words, Ji Gu waved his hand and revealed a purple battle halberd about two and a half metres long. This was a Source Artefact.
At the same time, inner force surged violently from within Ji Gu’s body. His He Dao Realm aura was fully revealed, along with his divine sense and physical body realms.
Ji Gu’s physical body realm had reached the late stage of the Indestructible Divine Body, which was already very formidable compared to the other contestants.
“Kid, take this!”
“Void Slash!”
Purple light surged on the battle halberd in Ji Gu’s hand. It rapidly gathered a heaven-splitting, earth-shattering power, then turned into a streak of purple light that charged fiercely at Lin Yun!
This Void Slash was one of the key moves Ji Gu had used to defeat the Dual Honour Pavilion contestant earlier. Its power was brutally fierce, and Lin Yun had witnessed it firsthand.
Ji Gu opened with such a powerful move, clearly aware that Lin Yun’s strength was formidable and not to be underestimated.
Lin Yun did not reveal his Source Artefact right away. Instead, he first drew his Great Luo Heavenly Soldier treasure sword.
Lin Yun wanted to test if he could win without using the Source Artefact.
“Flying Shadow Sword Technique, Three Yang Slash!”
Lin Yun held nothing back. The inner force enhanced by the Source Tree erupted, his Gui Yuan level divine sense and late-stage Saint Body physical realm burst forth suddenly, and the Power Source Heart activated in an instant!
Lin Yun unleashed far more techniques. Of course, the extras could only offset the gap from his opponent’s Source Artefact.
Indeed, without a Source Artefact, Lin Yun needed more techniques to bridge the gap between it and his Great Luo Heavenly Soldier.
Clang!
After the first clash, Ji Gu swept his halberd horizontally in a fluid motion and charged at Lin Yun again.
The Void Slash was incredibly fast. Almost the instant it launched, it reached Lin Yun, but his sword technique speed was no slouch either.
Clang clang clang!
Intense clashes erupted continuously on the arena. Each one whipped up stormy waves across the stage.
For the moment, the battle seemed fiercely intense and evenly matched.
