“He is indeed a bit too arrogant.” The elders from several Dao Alliance forces around him nodded and smiled in agreement.
“Elder Yuan Xia, has this friend of yours always been so arrogant?” an elder from the Blue Feather Palace asked, turning to Yuan Xia.
“Well… his goal, after all, is the championship,” Yuan Xia replied.
“What? The championship? Haha!”
Upon hearing this, the elders from the various Dao Alliance forces burst into loud laughter.
The champion of the Peak Competition had always been claimed by the Dao Alliance or one of the six major forces, and this had been the case for the past million years or more.
Even they themselves dared not predict which contestant would ultimately win until the final result was out.
For anyone outside the Dao Alliance or the six major forces to declare their goal as the championship, was that not the biggest joke in the world?
Since the VIP section was not far from the arena, this piercing laughter reached the arena itself.
“Kid, I vaguely heard just now that someone below the arena is laughing at you for wanting to take the Peak Competition championship? I’m curious, do you really dare to set such a goal?” Elder Wei of the Blood Moon Alliance asked with a smile.
“If it weren’t to contend for the championship, why would I participate in the Peak Competition?” Lin Yun admitted openly and without hesitation.
“Haha, you actually dare to admit it?” Elder Wei burst into even louder laughter, as if he had heard the funniest joke ever.
With these words spoken, waves of laughter also rose from the square.
“This kid actually wants to win the championship? Isn’t this like a toad lusting after a swan’s flesh?”
“In front of the Dao Alliance and the six major forces, what qualifications does he have to contend for the championship?”
“This guy is far too arrogant!”
…
On the arena.
Lin Yun paid no attention to the laughter from Elder Wei of the Blood Moon Alliance or the crowd.
“Enough talk. Let’s fight directly. I won’t hold back against you,” Lin Yun said, waving his hand to draw his treasured sword.
“Arrogant fellow, then let me finish you in one move!”
“Great Blood Moon Technique, Level Five Blood Moon!”
Elder Wei of the Blood Moon Alliance was instantly enveloped in bloody light, with extremely violent energy surging from his body.
“Elder Wei is actually using the Great Blood Moon Technique right from the start? This is the signature move of the Blood Moon Alliance!”
“Even without such a technique, Elder Wei could defeat that guy. This clearly shows he wants to kill him in one second, leaving no chance for the guy to surrender or escape the arena!”
Exclamations of surprise rang out from the crowd.
Everyone knew that Elder Wei intended to fulfil his promise to the Young Lord of the Nether Palace and deal harshly with Lin Yun.
On the arena.
The elder, shrouded in bloody light, spread his hand and revealed a war blade that glowed entirely red.
“Eclipse Moon Slash!”
The war blade danced, turning into a towering wave of blood that instantly surged towards Lin Yun. His divine sense and physical power erupted fully.
The physical realm of this Blood Moon Alliance elder was the Indestructible Divine Body, a level that placed him among the top in the Harmony Realm.
This Eclipse Moon Slash was also a signature move of the Blood Moon Alliance!
“Worthy of a Blood Moon Alliance elder. The power is indeed fierce,” Lin Yun observed as he watched the incoming attack.
Then his tone shifted. “Unfortunately, for me, it is completely insufficient!”
Lin Yun drew his treasured sword. The inner force strengthened by the Tree of Origin surged forth from his body.
His Origin Return level ninth-order divine sense and late-stage divine body physical power erupted fully, pouring into the treasured sword and rapidly amplifying its might.
The Heart of Power Origin activated!
The Power Origin Tree on the Tree of Origin instantly released terrifying strength!
The power amplification from the Heart of Power Origin was extraordinarily ferocious, far surpassing the boost from six divine veins.
As all the energies converged, the towering blood wave, exploding the air in its path, reached Lin Yun like a flood.
“Swift Thunder Form!”
The treasured sword transformed into swift thunder, clashing head-on with the war blade that had become the towering blood wave.
Boom!
Under the gaze of the entire crowd, the scene they had imagined, of the towering blood wave crushing Lin Yun, did not occur.
Instead, the towering blood wave shattered outright under Lin Yun’s single sword strike.
Elder Wei of the Blood Moon Alliance had been overconfident and never considered that his attack might be broken, leaving his defences lax.
Lin Yun’s sword shattered the blood wave and continued forward unchecked, slicing across the elder’s chest, piercing his protective treasure armour and leaving a gruesome wound on his body.
“How is this possible!?”
Elder Wei’s eyes widened in shock as he retreated violently.
He clearly felt that the power in Lin Yun’s sword was far too overwhelming!
