At this moment, Lan Yu’er was facing a major crisis. Her breakthrough was not as疯狂 as Ying Wuya’s, but at the critical moment, she comprehended a defensive martial art: Moonlight Feather Garment.
It was like moonlight feather garment draped over her body. No matter how frantically the middle sergeant opposite, who had reached eight-tenths power half-step Heavenly Venerable, attacked, there was no problem at all.
However, the Moonlight Feather Garment’s consumption of true essence was extremely terrifying.
After defeating the middle sergeant, Lan Yu’er advanced again.
The True Demon Empire upper sergeant that appeared before her eyes shattered her Moonlight Feather Garment with countless cracks in just one move.
It was not that the Moonlight Feather Garment was too poor, but her true essence could not keep up.
Although unwilling, to avoid dying here, Lan Yu’er ultimately chose to give up, took out the secret technique scroll, and left.
…
Lan Yu’er was eliminated, leaving only Ling Xiao and Ying Wuya from the eastern three sects.
The southern three sects had only Li Youdao left.
The eastern three sects and southern three sects had always been at odds, with strength usually inferior to the other side. This time, they had a slight advantage instead.
This made the higher-ups of Beast King Palace and Yuehua Sect very satisfied.
However, Sword King Sect Master Chen Nanxing’s face did not look good.
Zhao Zhi and Zhao Ci did not die.
Leng Hao and Dai Yuling did not die either.
Now even Lan Yu’er had come out, and her cultivation had obviously advanced greatly.
This made him very uncomfortable. He had originally wanted to use this preliminaries to make all Yuehua Sect’s participating disciples die miserably inside, but now it had completely failed.
If not for wanting to wait and watch a good show, he would have turned and left by now.
At the same time, in a certain sealed space within the True Demon Forbidden Land.
Li Youdao’s face revealed a ferocious and sinister expression.
A stream of black mist drilled into his body.
The upper sergeant at nine-tenths power half-step Heavenly Venerable had already been slain by him.
“Hahahaha! Fantastic! Before, I might have been inferior to Tang Jiu, but now, I’m stronger than Tang Jiu! Nine-tenths power half-step Heavenly Venerable; this feeling is really too good. And what is this? Heavenly essence power?”
Li Youdao had heard before that once a martial artist entered the Heaven-Man Realm, true essence power would advance further, elevating to powerful heavenly essence power.
But without entering the nine-tenths power half-step Heavenly Venerable realm, one could not understand the power of heavenly essence power.
Generally speaking, for nine-tenths power half-step Heavenly Venerable martial artists, the nine martial veins had completely transformed into one heavenly vein prototype.
The shape of the heavenly vein differed for each martial artist, changing based on their own martial soul or bloodline.
For example, Ling Xiao’s main martial soul was the Mountain River Martial Soul, so his heavenly vein was the Mountain River World, vast and boundless.
Dai Yuling’s martial soul was the Ancient Gourd Vine, so her heavenly vein would likely be a gourd vine seedling. As the heavenly vein continued to grow, it would eventually become a complete gourd vine.
At that time, the connection between the martial soul and the martial artist would be even closer.
Souls interdependent, flesh and blood connected.
Completely integrated.
In theory, once the heavenly vein prototype was generated, heavenly essence power would be produced. When the true essence power in the body was completely transformed into heavenly essence power, breakthrough was not far away.
At this point, what was needed was an opportunity, the so-called enlightenment, to possibly enter the Heaven-Man Realm.
Otherwise, even if you possessed the heavenly vein prototype, you could only be called a heavenly vein martial artist.
This was a group of special existences who had not advanced to Heaven-Man Realm but were stronger than half-step Heavenly Venerables.
The Holy Dynasty’s Six Young Masters were all heavenly vein martial artists.
Heavenly vein martial artists were divided into prototype stage, growth stage, maturity stage, complete stage, and breakthrough stage, five levels in total.
The final breakthrough stage was just a step away from Heaven-Man Realm, with breakthrough possible at any time.
Only martial artists entering the nine-tenths power half-step Heavenly Venerable realm would understand how powerful heavenly vein martial artists were compared to half-step Heavenly Venerables.
Heavenly essence power completely crushed true essence power in terms of strength.
Li Youdao was now a heavenly vein martial artist, but only just at the prototype stage.
But his power was much stronger than ordinary nine-tenths power half-step Heavenly Venerables.
“Ling Xiao, you killed my good brother Tang Jiu and ruined the good things of our southern three sects. Just wash your neck and wait. I will definitely make you taste the torment of various deadly poisons and die miserably!”
Li Youdao understood how powerful he was now. The current him facing the previous him could completely crush the previous him with one hand.
And Ling Xiao’s strength was not even as strong as his previous self.
Thinking of Ling Xiao’s miserable death appearance, Li Youdao’s laughter mixed with intense madness, as if a demon from hell had escaped its cage.
In another space.
Ya Qianxue actually grew a pair of blood-red wings on his back, and on his forehead, a blood-red eye was very eye-catching.
“Ling Xiao! Ling Xiao! Ling Xiao! Kill you! Kill you! Kill you!”
The powerful aura was not weaker than Li Youdao’s at all, and even more terrifying.
He had actually obtained a heavenly eye similar to that of the Holy Dynasty’s Six Young Masters’ Mo Wushang, but his was not a heavenly eye, but a “ghost eye”.
In the ghost eye, everything would collapse and become chaotic.
In Ya Qianxue’s view, this was more terrifying than Mo Wushang’s heavenly eye.
This Ya Qianxue, as an outstanding figure among Tianwang Sect’s inner sect disciples, had always been suppressed by Mo Wushang. He cultivated desperately to surpass Mo Wushang.
Now, he possessed power almost equal to Mo Wushang’s.
In this Martial Arts Festival finals, he must make Mo Wushang lose to him.
Of course, before that, he had to kill that Ling Xiao first, that person who dared not give him face, that person who offended the Holy Son.
In the other spaces, there were also various changes.
Even those who performed outstandingly in last year’s Martial Arts Festival might not all achieve good results in this year’s preliminaries.
The Yangtze River’s rear waves push the front waves; each wave is higher than the last.
Their era had passed. Those who could truly remain were indeed the few pointed out by Wu Xiang.
This Wu Xiang, as a Cave Heaven Realm powerhouse, had really good eyesight.
Yan Liehuo, Ya Qianxue, Lan Pangzi, Li Youdao, Po Qianjun, Feng Yaorao, plus Ying Wuya and Ling Xiao.
Currently, the ones who could continue advancing were just these eight people.
Tianlong Academy: two people;
Tianwang Sect: one person;
Bishui Divine Palace: one person;
Xuanhuo Sect: one person;
Guwang Sect: one person;
Beast King Palace: one person;
Yuehua Sect: one person.
The other sects were fine. Tianlong Academy had newly risen and was very mysterious, with a high status and much attention.
Only this Yuehua Sect seemed like a beggar squeezed into the nobility; no matter how you looked, it was out of place.
Many people were discussing how long this Yuehua Sect could hold on.
How long could this Ling Xiao persist?
Ling Xiao did not know others’ thoughts and was too lazy to guess. He had now encountered trouble.
After painstakingly killing a nine-tenths power half-step Heavenly Venerable level lower sergeant, his cultivation also rose accordingly, breaking through to eight-tenths power half-step Heavenly Venerable.
He continued walking forward, although he did not know what dangers lay ahead.
But with the increase in cultivation and strength, his confidence was obviously more abundant than before.
