I Am A Corpse Collector In The World Of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 72: Peak Showdown

After much anticipation, the young-looking Nascent Soul expert finally appeared, causing quite a stir.

"This is the top ten finals, and none of those who made it here are easy to deal with. I wonder if Jiang Xingyue will feel pressured. He's only at the eighth level of Nascent Soul, while his opponent is a former genius who is one level higher in cultivation."

"It shouldn't be a problem. He has already defeated experts at the same level as him before. I think the outcome will be the same this time."

Bang!

Not long after the match started, a figure was sent flying, coughing up blood.

It was expected to be a fierce battle, but Jiang Xingyue defeated his opponent at the ninth level of Nascent Soul within ten moves.

It's worth noting that his opponent was also a genius, a formidable expert who made it into the top ten, but the result was a complete domination.

"This time, it's the top ten advancing to the top five. I wonder if Jiang Xingyue will meet the Lord of the City in the next round."

"It's unlikely. Although the other strong contenders are not weak, these two are the favorites. I guess they will meet in the top three."

The audience discussed among themselves.

After Jiang Xingyue's match, Chen Shen and the others also left the arena early.

If everything goes as expected, the top two will be them, and there's no need to watch the other matches.

"We'll come back for the championship match." Chen Shen turned around and glanced at the arena.

Ten days later, all the contenders entered the final competition.

It was a battle for the top three.

At this point, the most dazzling young talents, the peerless true immortals and Nascent Soul experts, had emerged, earning the admiration and discussion of countless people.

In the Nascent Soul group, both the Lord of the City, Chen Feng, and the peerless true immortal, Jiang Xingyue, made it through.

There were already bets placed on them, and the amount of high-grade spirit stones bet on them alone was already in the tens of thousands.

Chen Shen didn't participate in the betting because the odds for Jiang Xingyue and Chen Feng were too low.

As for the other Nascent Soul expert, the odds were ridiculously high, but he didn't dare to bet on him.

There was, however, a gambling enthusiast who went all-in and bet one hundred high-grade spirit stones on the expert with the terrifying odds.

If he won, he would probably earn twenty thousand high-grade spirit stones, which was the reason why this gambling enthusiast was tempted.

"As cultivators, we play for the thrill." After placing his bet, the man said.

Chen Shen was also present because Mu Xiaojin dragged him along. She bet seventy-four low-grade spirit stones on Jiang Xingyue.

Finally, the day of the finals arrived.

"The Sect has been in charge of Lingxi City for a hundred years. It's time to step down," a powerful transcendent force muttered to themselves.

"Nascent Soul is the one in charge, and Jiang Xingyue is unrivaled."

"I support the Lord of the City."

"Whether it's mining in the mountains or being a guest in the brothel, it all depends on today."

...

"Twenty medium-grade spirit stones..." Chen Shen was shocked when he bought the tickets.

He had expected the ticket prices to increase, after all, it was the finals, but he didn't expect them to be this expensive.

Not long after, the match began.

First up was the youth group. The top three were already well-known and famous throughout the country.

But after the first place was determined, it would probably attract even more attention.

People tend to remember the first place more.

"I participated in the Foundation Building group back then, but unfortunately, I didn't make it to the top three hundred," Mu Xiaojin said, looking at the passionate young contestants on the stage, feeling a bit emotional.

Youth shining, Foundation Building competing, true immortals discussing.

Finally, it was time for the top three battle among the Nascent Soul experts.

It was also the most anticipated match for almost everyone.

Buzz!

Chen Shen's divine sense was extremely powerful. He sensed that three terrifying figures had silently arrived at the competition arena.

If nothing unexpected happened, they should be Soul Formation ancestors.

He quickly withdrew his divine sense and dared not probe casually.

Although Chen Shen didn't know how powerful his Primordial Spirit was, it was still prudent to be cautious when facing these Soul Formation old monsters.

"Is it Li Yin, the Supreme Sect Master of Qingyun Sect, who fought the city lord first?"

"So soon? I've bet on Li Yin. Whether it's mining or hooking, it depends on him. He better give me some face."

"Li Yin, as a Nascent Soul perfection, a monster who has cultivated for six hundred years, is definitely not weak."

Boom!

A huge martial arena created towering waves, and a faint light curtain enveloped the entire square.

This was a barrier set up personally by the Soul Formation ancestor, and it was difficult for Nascent Soul experts to break through.

If the space was dispersed, I'm afraid no one would dare to approach and watch up close, let alone buy tickets to watch the match.

"The city lord is so terrifying, his cultivation is on par with the opponent."

At the Nascent Soul level, the abundance of spiritual power no longer held much advantage, except for Chen Shen.

Everyone was a transcendent power, with similar cultivation techniques. The main difference lay in the application of Divine Abilities.

Like Lin Xuan, even if he had fortuitous encounters, he was still weaker than those with top-grade spiritual roots. However, he was noticed by a Soul Formation expert back then, which showed his astonishing comprehension, far surpassing his peers in this aspect.

"What's going on? Is the city lord trying to get close to Master Li? Doesn't he know they practice dual cultivation of spiritual bodies?"

Even Li Yin, who was currently fighting, was somewhat surprised, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Boom!

However, when the two collided with a punch, his expression changed slightly.

On the other side, Chen Feng remained calm and said, "Do you really think that in these fifty years, I have only cultivated the Dao?"

"What's going on? Is the city lord also practicing dual cultivation of spiritual bodies?"

"Fifty years ago, you were able to kill countless Nascent Soul experts with just your Dao techniques. I didn't expect you to have a hidden card, practicing dual cultivation of spiritual bodies!"

On the sidelines, Jiang Xingyue in white murmured softly, not paying too much attention.

Geniuses never let go of any opportunity to become stronger. Only through dual cultivation of spiritual bodies can one become invincible at the same level.

On the battlefield, the situation that was expected to be evenly matched became somewhat clear.

Chen Feng, with dual cultivation of spiritual bodies, was invincible among a hundred nations solely relying on his Divine Abilities fifty years ago. Now, even his physical body could be considered supreme.

Not long after, Li Yin was defeated.

With his defeat, the audience erupted into screams like pigs being slaughtered.

They were not happy about the city lord's victory.

"It's over. I'll be mining for the sect next year."

"It's all over. Everything is over. The little fairy in the hooking area is gone from me."

Many people who had bet on Li Yin turned pale, as if life was no longer worth living.

"The success or failure lies with Jiang Xingyue. We can't let the Shang Sect interfere with Lingxi City for another fifty years." The powerful experts of the transcendent powers whispered, becoming nervous.

"For the second match, Li Yin will face Jiang Xingyue!"

After the intermission, Li Yin took the stage again. Although he was injured in the previous match, he had been revived with the help of the Pill King.

He felt aggrieved in his heart. As the Supreme Sect Master of a transcendent power, he had lost to a junior.

In the previous Lingxi Battle, he didn't participate because he was in seclusion, hoping to win benefits for the sect this time.

As a result, he lost in the first match of the top three. Thinking of this, he looked at the talented individual who had only been cultivating for fifty years with a sharp gaze.

This time...

"I didn't expect Li Yin to lose again. Jiang Xingyue is dominating with just his Divine Abilities, even stronger than the city lord. You know, this person also practices dual cultivation of spiritual bodies!"

"Yeah, Li Yin, the former sect master, is even worse off than in the first match. Look at the blood he's spitting out."

Jiang Xingyue stood immaculately in the center of the stage, his gaze fixed on Chen Feng.

Li Yin, who was lying on the ground in defeat, was carried away with an unwilling look in his eyes.

...

The peak battle is about to begin.

"The peak showdown, Chen Feng against Jiang Xingyue!"

The chapter ends here.
