“Roar!”
A dragon’s roar echoed, and a deep earthy glow bloomed from his dantian. A blood-red dragon phantom appeared in the air, exuding an ancient, timeless aura, its terrifying pressure enveloping the surroundings.
The sky turned blood-red, as if the entire world were immersed in a crimson realm.
“What, a mid-tier Earth phenomenon? A divine dragon phenomenon?”
In that moment, the crowd was dumbfounded, their eyes wide, frozen in shock.
Even Zhang Tianze was stunned.
Lin Xiao possessed a mid-tier Earth phenomenon, one rank higher than Jian Wuqu’s, on par with Jian Tianjiao?
And it was a primordial divine beast, a divine dragon phenomenon?
In terms of quality, it far surpassed Jian Tianjiao’s!
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it the top phenomenon in the southeast region!
“Heavens! The southeast region has produced such a monstrous talent!”
Zi Jinchen thought to himself. They had thought Lin Xiao was already extraordinary on the stage, but they hadn’t expected even more heaven-defying talents to remain unrevealed.
Zi Gong and others were equally stunned, now understanding why Zi Ling compared Lin Xiao to Jian Tianjiao.
Their phenomena were of the same rank, but Lin Xiao’s was of higher quality. The only difference was in age and cultivation level compared to Jian Tianjiao.
“How is this possible?” Even Jian Wuqu was shocked.
Lin Xiao’s dantian phenomenon was more advanced than his, and its quality surpassed even his brother’s.
He couldn’t believe it. Coming to such a remote place, how had he encountered such a monstrous figure?
This made it even harder for him to accept!
“No matter how talented, you’re just a corpse!” Jian Wuqu roared in anger.
“Voidless Sword, Unmatched Swordsmanship!”
With a booming shout, Jian Wuqu swung his sword downward, its beam carrying immense force, slicing through the air. The sword light was dazzling, its aura earth-shaking, as if it were the only thing left in the world.
A single sword to slay enemies, unrivalled under heaven.
“The Jian family’s exclusive sword technique, the one that defeated Zi Hui!”
The Zi family youths were shaken.
“Great Azure Dragon Slash!”
Lin Xiao let out a thunderous shout. Brilliant azure light burst forth, forming a dazzling azure dragon. The unmatched azure dragon sword beam seemed to materialize into a real dragon, carrying terrifying pressure and howling through the air.
Roar!
At the same time, spiritual energy surged in Lin Xiao’s mind. The Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon energy was pushed to its limit, thunderous energy pouring from his brow, transforming into a dragon of thunder energy. It joined the azure dragon, charging toward Jian Wuqu.
Twin dragons soared, and the heavens changed colour!
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”
Their powers collided, unleashing a series of thunderous explosions. Torrents of energy erupted, unmatched fluctuations shaking the heavens, and dazzling light illuminated every inch of the sky.
“What, Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon energy? He has Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon energy!”
Below, Zi Gong and others cried out in shock.
Hadn’t Lin Xiao just used spiritual energy with devouring and burning properties?
How did he now possess thunder-attribute spiritual energy?
Could he possess two types of spiritual energy?
“Impossible!”
Zi Gong thought in disbelief.
He had heard of this thunder-attribute energy, the Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon, ranked thirteenth on the spiritual energy list, an extremely terrifying power.
Not only was it hard to find, but even if found, it was difficult to refine.
Lin Xiao possessing such energy was shocking enough, but he also had another spiritual energy Zi Gong hadn’t even heard of.
And that energy’s quality seemed to surpass even the Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon.
How could one person possess two spiritual energies, both of top-tier quality?
How could any spiritual controller have such fortune, finding and refining two such high-quality energies?
No ancient texts recorded such a thing.
Zi Jinchen and others were utterly stunned, as was Zhang Tianze. Lin Xiao’s talents were boundless, surpassing even Jian Tianjiao’s in raw potential.
In the sky, the rolling energy dissipated, and the two were evenly matched, both thrown back.
Lin Xiao’s face paled, but Jian Wuqu, already heavily injured, spat blood.
At that moment, both launched another attack.
“Voidless Sword, Boundless Swordsmanship!”
With a booming shout, Jian Wuqu unleashed another sword strike, its terrifying aura slicing through the air like a giant sail parting a hundred waves, slashing toward Lin Xiao.
“Yaoguang!”
“Covering the Heavens with One Hand!”
Lin Xiao muttered to himself, activating the Yaoguang Sword Technique. His body glowed transparently, emitting brilliant white light. His broken sword shone dazzlingly, radiating terrifying fluctuations that rippled outward.
The entire area was bathed in blinding white light, and Lin Xiao seemed like a god.
Simultaneously, a black-and-cyan energy palm formed in the sky, the surrounding void seemingly devoured and burned, its energy unfathomably terrifying.
As Lin Xiao swung his sword, a brilliant sword beam shot forth, joining the massive black-cyan energy palm, hurtling toward Jian Wuqu.
“Boom!”
Another earth-shaking explosion erupted, torrents of energy bursting forth, terrifying fluctuations surging like monstrous waves.
Under this strike, Jian Wuqu spat blood, thrown far back.
Lin Xiao was also pushed back by the terrifying fluctuations.
Blood trickled from his mouth.
He couldn’t help but marvel at Jian Wuqu’s strength; one strike matched two of his combined.
Fortunately, his dual strike gained a slight edge, sending more energy toward Jian Wuqu.
But he knew this strike hadn’t truly crippled Jian Wuqu.
Immediately, Lin Xiao began rapidly preparing the Heaven-Devouring Spirit-Gathering Finger.
Only the Heaven-Devouring Spirit-Gathering Finger, fusing various energies, could defeat Jian Wuqu.
As it activated, spiritual energy in Lin Xiao’s mind and the Heaven-Devouring Cyan Flame energy surged through his meridians to his fingertip, joined by torrents of dantian energy.
A trace of thunder energy was also infused.
Vast energy, spiritual power, Heaven-Devouring Cyan Flame energy, and a bit of thunder energy compressed at his fingertip, brewing an extremely terrifying strike. Yet Lin Xiao’s surface appeared utterly calm.
