Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

The first match of the first round of the ranking competition pleased certain individuals greatly, as they believed they had gained a deep understanding of Jun Wu Xie's strength.

This young man, although remarkable, ultimately came from the lower realms. Even if his cultivation speed was astonishing, the gap between him and the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters wasn't that significant. His talent growth rate was extremely high, but compared to the Heaven's Chosen Kings who had cultivated for longer periods, he was only slightly better.

Even if he was still concealing some of his strength, it wouldn't change the final outcome.

After all, his opponents were not weak, and such battles would inevitably lead to a significant depletion of his essence, energy, and spirit.

In this case, there was no need to wait until entering the Azure Dragon Gorge Secret Realm; he could be crippled during this ranking competition.

At that time, if Jun Wu Xie dared to enter the Azure Dragon Gorge again, wouldn't killing him be as easy as flipping one's hand?

Both Qing Mu Ran and the Lord of the Mirage Marsh had undisguised smiles on their faces, while the Ling Yun Family Head maintained a gentle expression, making it impossible to discern what he was truly thinking.

Inside the dueling arena, the battle was extremely fierce, divided into three battlefields. Jun Wu Xie consistently maintained a strategy of countering each move, occasionally retaliating. Even so, each counterattack left his opponents somewhat disheveled.

The Heaven's Chosen King of the Teng Snake Tribe, although maintaining a high-intensity, high-speed offensive, couldn't stop his arm from spasming.

Every time Jun Wu Xie counterattacked, he discovered that his speed was even faster, making it impossible to dodge, forcing him to take the blows head-on.

Between the collisions of fists and palms, the immense divine power transmitted from the opponent's chaotic golden light-wreathed palm made him feel as if his arm was about to be shattered.

His arms were already overflowing with blood, the flesh splitting open during the hard clashes, even the skin on his knuckles was broken, and the tiger's mouth had also split open, blood flowing down his fingers.

"Jun Shen is truly strong! Attacking a higher realm from a lower one, and choosing a passive defensive approach. Although the frequency of counterattacks isn't high, each counterattack manages to suppress the opponent!"

"Terrifying! What do you think would happen in this duel if Jun Shen's realm were on par with his opponent's?"

"No need to say, he would directly crush them, impossible to resist. You must know that being a minor realm higher means having double the base power!"

"It's a pity that Lord Ling Yao drew the number one lot. Jun Shen and the others have to face two matches, otherwise, it would have been very possible to take first place in the ranking competition, but now it's impossible..."

......

Many among the spectators felt sorry for Jun Wu Xie's group, and even felt indignant for them.

Facing two strong enemies in the first round of the ranking competition, everyone would probably be severely injured and extremely weak by the end of the first round. Then, how could they be a match for the Heaven's Chosen Kings of other forces in the one-on-one decisive battles of the second round?

Although people were discussing in low voices, their eyes never left the dueling arena.

As time passed, the battle became even more intense.

First, Yan Qingcheng's opponent was already retreating under her attacks.

The Qingcheng Battle Scythe danced, the purple blade light resembling a crescent moon that could cut through heaven and earth, incomparably sharp.

Her opponent used all kinds of divine abilities, but still couldn't do anything to her, unable to withstand the Battle Scythe's attacks, covered in wounds, and in a sorry state.

"Take down Ling Qing Yu, and come help me quickly!"

Yan Qingcheng's opponent roared, howling to the sky, emitting the sound of a python. A huge phantom appeared behind him.

It was a giant serpent, its body covered with snake scales resembling shields, shimmering with a cold metallic gleam.

The giant serpent roared, the aura of the primordial era sweeping across the eight wastelands, the roar causing the heavens and earth of the entire dueling space to tremble.

That Heaven's Chosen King's eyes were cold and fierce, his body lit up with bloodline runes, each rune burning, his momentum rising crazily, sublimating to the extreme.

He rushed towards Yan Qingcheng, the Teng Snake phantom behind him launching a violent attack along with him.

Almost at the same time, Ling Qing Yu's opponent also used this method. Under the extreme sublimation, laws bloomed and divine abilities were displayed.

The Teng Snake Divine Form condensed!

The huge python body stood tall, soaring into the clouds, its body as huge as a mountain, giving people a heavy sense of oppression and suffocation. The aura of the primordial era swept out like a raging wave.

"You guys hurry up, I'll hold back the one surnamed Jun!"

The Heaven's Chosen King who was dueling with Jun Wu Xie said through gritted teeth, also sublimating to the extreme at this moment, in order to buy time for those two companions, holding Jun Wu Xie back, preventing him from providing assistance.

Jun Wu Xie's expression was calm, without any particular reaction to this.

He still adopted the previous battle strategy, with no intention of providing assistance, but he was paying attention to the battle situation of Ling Qing Yu and Yan Qingcheng at all times.

Yan Qingcheng seemed relatively relaxed. Although her opponent had sublimated to the extreme, she released the Qingcheng Battle Scythe, which flew around her body, shuttling back and forth, slashing out dense crescent-shaped blade lights, weaving into a defense line, blocking the opponent and the Teng Snake Divine Form's impact.

At the same time, her hands formed mysterious hand seals in front of her, and a black crack appeared between her palms.

This crack continuously opened and rapidly enlarged between the distance of her hands, and then she punched it forward.

That black crack instantly turned into a huge spatial black hole that seemed to be able to devour heaven and earth, swallowing half of the opponent's Teng Snake Divine Form in one go. All divine ability attacks were unable to get close to her body, all were swallowed.

"What kind of method is this?"

Everyone who witnessed this scene was shocked. Even cultivating spatial arts shouldn't have such abilities.

You must know that it was the Teng Snake Tribe's Heaven's Chosen King's Divine Form that was displayed. This divine ability belonged to the forbidden divine abilities in bloodline inheritance, its power was extremely strong. In addition to the power of the person casting the divine ability, it also released part of the power of the bloodline. How could it be resolved like this?

Unless there was absolute suppression in realm!

Obviously, Yan Qingcheng's realm was clearly several minor realms lower than her opponent's!

"I've never heard of this kind of void divine ability with such power. It can actually allow a person in a lower realm to resolve the bloodline forbidden divine ability of a higher realm through devouring. It's truly unbelievable..."

Not to mention the spectators, even the people in charge of the Martial Ancestor Hall and the Holy Medicine Sect exclaimed in amazement.

Qing Mu Ran and the Lord of the Mirage Marsh's eyes flashed with cold light, both shocked and angry. They didn't expect Yan Qingcheng to have such abilities!

At this time, in Ling Qing Yu's dueling battlefield, the huge Teng Snake Divine Form roared, fiercely fighting the Azure Luan Divine Form she displayed!

A giant snake spanning the heavens and the earth, wagging its mountain-like body in the high sky, opening its bloody mouth, constantly attacking the Azure Luan.

During the fight, the Azure Luan's body had already been entangled, but its sharp claws were deeply embedded in the Teng Snake Divine Form's body, leaving huge wounds, the wounds constantly overflowing with law energy.

The Teng Snake Divine Form constantly tightened its body, wanting to perform a death coil on the Azure Luan Divine Form, but the laws flowed on the Azure Luan's feathers, incomparably sharp, causing the Teng Snake's body to be constantly cut and the wounds to become deeper and deeper during the tightening process.

That Heaven's Chosen King constantly formed hand seals, blessing the Teng Snake Divine Form. Ling Qing Yu was also doing the same. The two sides were deadlocked, unable to do anything to each other for a while.

"Hurry! I can't hold on anymore!"

The Teng Snake Tribe Heaven's Chosen King who was dueling with Yan Qingcheng had a gloomy face and loudly asked for help.

His Teng Snake Divine Form couldn't break free, and most of its body had been swallowed into the spatial black hole, and it looked like it was about to be completely swallowed.

Yan Qingcheng's Battle Scythe floated high in the sky, flowing with brilliant purple light, releasing an increasingly intimidating aura, and then suddenly slashed out.

The vertically divided pupils of that Heaven's Chosen King contracted violently, and he hurriedly sacrificed several holy weapons to block it.

Amidst a series of trembling sounds, the weapons he sacrificed were broken one after another. High-level superb holy weapons were destroyed like this, unable to withstand the sharpness of the Battle Scythe at all.

He was terrified, and in desperation, he could only abandon the Teng Snake Divine Form and instead form hand seals to construct a defensive barrier.

However, this defensive barrier also couldn't withstand the Battle Scythe's sharpness and was directly cut open.

His body was covered in goosebumps, scared to the point of being terrified, and he dodged at the fastest speed.

With a 'poof' sound.

Fresh red blood splattered, staining the sky red.

He barely avoided his head, and was struck in the shoulder by the Battle Scythe. From the position of the trapezius muscle next to his neck, half of his body was cut off, letting out a scream.

This scene was too bloody, causing countless spectators to exclaim in shock.

This strike caused the Teng Snake Tribe Heaven's Chosen King's internal organs to be exposed, and even some internal organs were directly cut off.

"I admit..."

After screaming, the Teng Snake Tribe Heaven's Chosen King immediately wanted to shout out to admit defeat.

But before he could finish speaking, Yan Qingcheng appeared above him in an instant, like a goddess descending to earth, and kicked out from the air!

Although she didn't step on him, the distance between her foot and him was still more than ten zhang, but the jade foot stepped in the air, and the force was heavier than hundreds of millions of jun, the impact was terrifying.

The Teng Snake Tribe Heaven's Chosen King, whose body was broken, had already suffered heavy damage, his internal organs were broken and incomplete, and the half of his body that was lost was forcibly wrapped in law essence energy.

Under the impact of such a kick from the air, his body shook violently, and the law essence energy barrier surrounding his body was covered with cracks, almost collapsing, causing his subsequent words to turn into a scream, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Almost at the same time, the law on Yan Qingcheng's slender jade finger was blazing, and she pointed out with her fingers, and a sharp beam of finger light pierced into his body with a 'poof'.

The Teng Snake Tribe Heaven's Chosen King screamed, his screams even more fierce than before.

People saw that in the area hit by the finger light, the law essence energy rushed out like a mountain torrent, and a large amount of life essence was lost.

The Cave Heaven was shattered, and the Star Sea was defeated!

People gasped in cold air, Yan Qingcheng was too ruthless. Before he could admit defeat, she made a ruthless move, turning him into a cripple!

Her decisive and ruthless actions were clearly premeditated, leaving her opponent no time to even admit defeat.

The Teng Snake Demon Lord, usually so composed, now had an ashen face, the muscles on his face twitching violently. His chest heaved, his eyes were filled with boundless killing intent, and his entire being emanated a chilling aura.

Cultivating a King among geniuses was no easy feat. It wasn't just a matter of expending resources and effort; the tribe also needed someone with astonishing talent.

To prepare for this grand era, they had accumulated resources for many years. Even now, the number of Kings among geniuses under a hundred years old was not very large.

These people were all future mainstays. In this grand era of continuously improving cosmic environment, each of them would have a great chance to achieve the Eternal Realm!

It could be said that such Kings among geniuses were precious treasures. Losing any one of them would be a blow to his Teng Snake tribe!

If he could, he would rather exchange a hundred high-level Holy Ancestor Realm experts for one Holy Emperor Realm King among geniuses!

"I said long ago to let me go up. The Demon Lord insisted that I hide my strength. Today, all three of them will meet such an end."

Teng Shen spoke coldly. He did not show any pity for the crippled King among geniuses, his expression indifferent.

The Teng Snake Demon Lord's lips trembled, and he wanted to reprimand him, but he forcibly held back.

Teng Shen was the strongest pillar of the Teng Snake tribe in the future, and he could not afford to offend him.
