Dominating!
In the arena, those supporting Lu Tian seemed to have been injected with adrenaline. They roared furiously one after another.
The momentum surged wave after wave, shaking both heaven and earth!
Yet Ye Guan remained calm as still water in the face of life and death. He rose on his sword and landed on the life-and-death platform.
At that moment, an old man appeared on the platform!
Seeing the old man, everyone froze.
It was Elder Zhang from the inner cabinet!
Elder Zhang walked between the two men. He glanced at both of them, then took out a sheet of paper. “Life-and-death agreement. If there are no objections, sign it!”
Lu Tian pointed with two fingers. A drop of blood fell onto the agreement, sealing it with blood!
Lu Tian looked at Ye Guan. Ye Guan wasted no words either. He pointed with two fingers, and a drop of his blood landed on the agreement.
Elder Zhang put away the agreement, then turned and vanished from the spot!
The decisive battle began!
After Elder Zhang disappeared, the arena suddenly fell silent.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Ye Guan and Lu Tian.
Lu Tian stared at Ye Guan with his hands behind his back and gave a light smile. “Actually, I should thank you. Really, because…”
“Shut up!”
Ye Guan suddenly spoke. “We are not close. I have no interest in wasting words with you!”
With that said.
Whoosh!
The space in front of Lu Tian suddenly tore open. A sword shot straight toward him in an instant.
Instant-kill strike!
No probing at all. He went for the killing move right from the start!
Lu Tian narrowed his eyes slightly. He suddenly pointed with two fingers. At his fingertip, a shocking thunder exploded.
Boom!
In an instant, Ye Guan’s Dragon Chant flying sword trembled violently and was blasted away.
But at that very moment, another flying sword came killing toward him!
Lightning flashed beneath Lu Tian’s feet!
Whoosh!
Lu Tian’s figure instantly shifted dozens of zhang sideways. Ye Guan’s sword struck nothing but air.
Yet the moment Lu Tian stopped, his expression changed dramatically. Another flying sword had already arrived right in front of him, as if it had been waiting there specifically for him.
This sword was even faster.
Impossible to dodge!
Lu Tian narrowed his eyes. His right hand suddenly clenched tightly.
Boom!
The entire area around him shook violently. A terrifying aura erupted from within his body. At the same time, beams of light suddenly burst from between his brows.
Boom!
The surrounding space trembled fiercely and then cracked open!
Ye Guan’s flying sword was forced to a complete stop by those beams of light. It could not advance even half an inch further!
But right then, yet another sword light came slashing in.
Boom!
Those beams of light shattered completely. By now Lu Tian had already retreated dozens of zhang to the right. Yet the moment he landed, another sword arrived.
Ye Guan’s swords clung to him like maggots on bone. No matter where he retreated, they locked onto him relentlessly!
And each sword was faster than the last!
This time, however, Lu Tian’s expression remained very calm. He simply watched the sword coming toward him without dodging or evading.
Whoosh!
Under everyone’s gaze, that sword pierced straight through the space between Lu Tian’s brows!
Everyone was stunned!
But in the next instant, all their expressions changed drastically!
It was not his real body!
Everyone’s gazes shifted at once. At that moment, a terrifying bolt of thunder had already rushed in front of Ye Guan. The instant it reached him, the space within nearly a hundred zhang around Ye Guan cracked open directly!
The crowd was shocked.
They had known Ye Guan’s speed from the beginning. What they never expected was that Lu Tian’s speed was also this terrifying. Not only had he evaded Ye Guan’s deadly strike, he could even counterattack!
Boom!
Suddenly that thunderbolt completely engulfed Ye Guan. The space and time in the area where Ye Guan had stood shattered directly!
Everyone was stunned again!
Because they could not see Ye Guan anymore!
But at that moment, some of the stronger cultivators suddenly paled. They saw a sword light appear behind Lu Tian!
Sensing the sword coming from behind, Lu Tian immediately frowned. He had not expected Ye Guan to dodge his previous strike!
This unexpected sword put him in a very passive position!
He had no choice but to reveal some of his trump cards!
Lu Tian clenched both hands tightly!
Boom!
Suddenly a bolt of thunder descended from the sky and poured into his body.
Boom!
In an instant, a terrifying shockwave of thunder erupted from his position. In the blink of an eye, a figure was repeatedly blasted back dozens of zhang away!
“Supreme Realm!”
At that moment, someone in the crowd suddenly cried out in shock!
Supreme Realm?
Hearing those words, everyone was dumbfounded!
Lu Tian had actually reached the Supreme Realm?
“No!”
Someone else cried out again. “His thunder carries a faint red glow… He, he has actually reached the legendary Hidden Tribulation Supreme Realm! My heavens…”
Hidden Tribulation Supreme Realm!
Most people in the arena were disciples of great families and sects. Although they had never seen this hidden realm before, they had at least heard of it.
The crowd erupted once more.
A Supreme Realm expert at such a young age was already a freak among freaks. Even looking across the entire history of Guanxuan Academy, he could rank among the top.
And it was the Hidden Tribulation Supreme Realm no less!
This was simply a freak among freaks, a genius among geniuses!
Those great families and sects that had chosen to support Lu Tian now laughed wildly in excitement!
They had bet correctly!
On the viewing stone pillar, Chen Guanzi watched Ye Guan and Lu Tian below with a calm expression.
Behind him, however, the sword cultivators of Sword Sect all showed worry in their eyes.
Supreme Realm!
And a hidden one at that. This was something they had never anticipated!
On the life-and-death platform, Ye Guan looked at Lu Tian in the distance with a calm expression.
Lu Tian wasted no more words. He opened his palm.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning suddenly descended from above and landed in his palm. The powerful thunder might caused the space and time around him to tremble violently. It was extremely terrifying.
The might of a Supreme Realm expert!
Ye Guan suddenly spoke. “You actually reached the Supreme Realm! Impressive!”
Hearing this, Lu Tian felt smug. He immediately laughed out loud and was about to reply. But right then, Ye Guan vanished!
Shocking Thunder!
Under the enhancement of the Shocking Thunder movement technique, Ye Guan’s speed instantly reached his current limit!
Whoosh!
Under everyone’s gaze, Ye Guan’s sword pierced straight into Lu Tian’s throat!
In that instant, the entire world fell silent!
Those who supported Lu Tian had their eyes nearly splitting open. Their hearts jumped into their throats!
But soon they froze!
In fact, everyone in the arena froze!
Nothing happened!
Ye Guan’s sword had pierced Lu Tian’s throat, yet Lu Tian was completely unharmed!
Lu Tian stared at Ye Guan and grinned. “Didn’t expect that, did you? I’m also a body cultivator!”
As his voice fell, he clenched both hands tightly. Suddenly countless bolts of thunder erupted from within his body. At that moment Ye Guan flashed backward and instantly retreated a hundred zhang away. The moment he stopped, the space in front of him shattered. A huge spatial-temporal chasm a hundred zhang long appeared between him and Lu Tian!
Seeing this scene, the expressions of everyone on the Sword Sect side became grave!
They had never expected Lu Tian to be a body cultivator as well!
Dual cultivation of body and dao!
This exceeded everyone’s expectations!
Ye Guan looked at Lu Tian opposite him and remained silent!
A body cultivator!
This was his first time facing one. He knew that in many cases body cultivators were even more troublesome than divine technique users. As long as a powerful body cultivator’s defence could not be broken, he would remain undefeatable forever.
He had not expected that this dao cultivator Lu Tian was also a body cultivator!
It was indeed a surprise!
But this made things even more interesting!
A somewhat ferocious smile appeared at the corner of Ye Guan’s mouth.
Just as Lu Tian was about to speak, Ye Guan suddenly stepped forward and pointed with two fingers!
Buzz!
A sword chant suddenly resounded through the arena. In the next moment, under everyone’s gaze, a flying sword shot straight toward Lu Tian!
This time Lu Tian did not dodge or evade. He allowed the flying sword to slash between his brows.
Boom!
Sword light exploded from between Lu Tian’s brows, yet he remained completely unharmed. He had forcibly withstood the strike!
Ye Guan did not attack again. He simply looked at Lu Tian without speaking.
Lu Tian gave a light laugh. “That’s it?”
With those words, he suddenly soared into the air and formed seals with both hands.
Boom!
In an instant, a thousand-zhang golden dharma body appeared behind him. As the golden dharma body emerged, the space and time within nearly a thousand zhang trembled violently. Terrifying waves of pressure continuously poured out from the thousand-zhang dharma body. Those standing closer immediately felt as though ten thousand mountains were pressing down on them, making it hard to breathe.
Ye Guan glanced at the thousand-zhang dharma body with a calm expression like still water.
At that moment Lu Tian formed seals again. His hand techniques changed rapidly. Soon terrifying auras surged out from within his body. Then he suddenly pointed at Ye Guan with two fingers. “Infinite Tribulation!”
Boom!
Suddenly the entire space on the life-and-death platform cracked open. Countless faint red lightning bolts flew out from those spatial rifts!
In an instant, nearly a hundred thousand lightning bolts appeared in the arena!
But at the same moment, ten flying swords suddenly flew out from within Ye Guan’s body. In the blink of an eye those ten flying swords arrived in front of the thousand-zhang dharma body!
At that moment the thousand-zhang dharma body’s right hand slammed downward fiercely. A terrifying pressure swept down, forcibly pinning the ten flying swords in place!
At the same time countless lightning bolts formed a net and charged straight toward Ye Guan!
Right then Ye Guan suddenly vanished from his spot!
Whoosh!
Wherever Ye Guan passed, those lightning bolts were all sliced apart. His speed was astonishing. In the blink of an eye he arrived right in front of Lu Tian. Cold laughter flickered in Lu Tian’s eyes!
Because he had discovered that Ye Guan was not a Great Sword Emperor at all. He simply could not break his physical body!
As long as his flesh could not be broken, he would remain undefeatable forever!
The only thing he needed to watch out for was Ye Guan’s special divine sword. But he had a countermeasure ready, because the dao seal within his body was already prepared at any moment!
The moment Ye Guan used the divine sword, he would unleash the dao seal!
In front of the dao seal, any sword would have to kneel!
Right at that moment Ye Guan suddenly thrust out a sword. This strike was aimed once again between Lu Tian’s brows!
However, the instant Ye Guan attacked, Lu Tian’s expression changed dramatically. He wanted to retreat, but it was already too late!
Boom!
Under everyone’s gaze, Lu Tian was directly blasted a hundred zhang away by this sword. The thousand-zhang dharma body he left behind shattered with a loud crash. Along with it, all the space and time within a thousand zhang shattered as well.
In that instant the entire life-and-death platform turned pitch black!
But it was repaired in the next breath!
By now the thousand-zhang dharma body had completely collapsed. The surrounding lightning bolts had also turned into scattered fragments.
Critical strike!
This sword shocked everyone!
Yet Lu Tian still had not died!
When Lu Tian stopped, a phantom of a divine beast appeared between his brows. The divine beast phantom used both hands to protect the space between his brows tightly. Its pitch-black, thick-scaled hands were already covered in cracks, but Lu Tian himself remained unharmed!
“Divine Black Tortoise!”
Someone in the crowd cried out in horror. “One of the four divine beasts of the demon race, the Divine Black Tortoise! This Divine Black Tortoise clan is said to possess the strongest defence among demon beasts under the stars. It has actually fused together with a Child of Destiny and shares its defence! My heavens… with them working together, how could they possibly lose?”
