CHAPTER 1264: CHAPTER 1264: FIRST PLACE IN THE GRAND COMPETITION

"I really didn’t expect that both Wang Long and this Undying Devouring Sky Beast actually made breakthroughs during the assessment. Isn’t this too incredible?"

"Yeah, haven’t you forgotten? Wang Long and the Undying Devouring Sky Beast had breakthroughs in the first round as well. To think they made another breakthrough in the second round; their cultivation speed is terrifyingly fast."

"Monsters, absolute monsters."

...

All around, people were whispering, shocked by the rise of the Undying Devouring Sky Beast and Wang Long.

One in third place, one in fifth place.

This time, the Immortal Order Competition suddenly revealed two batches of dark horses.

"Do you think Xu Nian will also make a breakthrough?" someone curiously asked, looking at the Sky-reaching Tower where only Xu Nian was present.

"Impossible, having two breakthroughs in the Sky-reaching Tower is already a miracle. You think cultivation is like drinking water, breaking through so easily." The person was immediately reprimanded by someone beside them.

"Uh, look, he broke through. How about that, you got slapped in the face." The person who was reprimanded laughed heartily.

The stunned person couldn’t believe Xu Nian actually made a breakthrough.

Xu Nian’s breakthrough naturally drew a lot of attention.

They wanted to see how far Xu Nian could go in the towers.

At that moment, Hong Xi was also surprised, unable to believe Xu Nian actually broke through.

No idea how strong he is now.

Jiang Shengtian also frowned, looking displeased.

The prior breakthroughs of the Undying Devouring Sky Beast and Wang Long had already annoyed him.

Now Xu Nian also broke through, and if he surpasses him, where will he place his dignity?

"How did this guy have such luck, to actually break through as well," Lin Hao cursed internally, standing in the crowd.

He had only reached the seventh level of the Sixth Tower. Seeing Xu Nian break through during the assessment, his heart was filled with intense jealousy.

"Xu Nian actually broke through. Did he break through to the Eighth-level Profound Argumentation? Then the Eighth Tower shouldn’t be a problem," Situ Jue said curiously.

"Shouldn’t be a problem, but he just broke through, it might be hard to reach the second level," Yang Dong spoke.

Situ Jue nodded in agreement that it would be difficult to clear the first level with a newly achieved Profound Argumentation.

But to them, reaching the Eighth Tower would already mark him as an unparalleled genius.

Xu Nian was unaware of the thoughts of the outside world; he quickly entered the Third Tower.

However, the Third Tower posed no difficulty for him at all.

In less than 15 minutes, he cleared the tower, entering the Fourth Tower.

He cleared the Fourth Tower even faster, taking only seven and a half minutes.

This incredibly short time shocked everyone present.

Especially the geniuses with Fourth-level Profound Argumentation felt deeply ashamed.

Afterward, Xu Nian cleared the fifth and sixth levels in very short time intervals.

Even the Seventh level couldn’t stop Xu Nian’s progress.

Xu Nian fought with bare hands, causing those Demon Beasts to question their existence.

Each punch transformed numerous Demon Beasts into blood mist.

With the Sixth Level Attributes Fist Technique, Xu Nian could reach the third level of the Seventh Tower.

Later, using Seventh-level Profound Argumentation, Black Hole Punch, he was unstoppable.

He quickly cleared the Seventh Tower and arrived at the Eighth Tower.

"Wow, this guy actually reached the Eighth Tower; isn’t this too terrifying?"

"Yeah, he must have understood the Earth Attribute Gravity Space, right? How is his fist technique this terrifying?"

...

The crowd was deeply shocked, amazed by Xu Nian’s fists.

Only now did they realize that the axe was not Xu Nian’s true forte; rather, fist techniques were his true strength.

In the first challenge of the Eighth Tower, Xu Nian still relied on Seventh-level collapse Profound Argumentation to pass.

The crazed horned rhinos turned to pulp under his fists.

The second level was similar; the Netherworld Cloud Cats couldn’t break through Xu Nian’s Pulse Defense.

Instead, they were blasted by Xu Nian’s powerful punches.

It was not until the third level that Xu Nian showed a bit of struggle.

At this moment, Xu Nian finally unleashed his true power.

Using the power of the collapse of a Black Hole.

Once exerted, the Eighth Tower also became easy again.

Soon, he cleared the Eighth Tower.

When Xu Nian slew the last Golden Horned Demon Dragon, everyone present gasped.

This guy actually cleared the Eighth Tower, reaching the Ninth Tower level?

"How is this possible?" Jiang Shengtian had an expression of disbelief, his gaze towards Xu Nian full of resentment.

Hong Xi was also deeply shocked.

When Xu Nian cleared the fourth level, she was already left speechless.

During their previous encounter, she could sense Xu Nian was weaker than her.

But now, Xu Nian had surpassed her.

"Great, just great, Brother Nian is really strong," Meng Xiyao exclaimed excitedly.

This moment made him extremely happy.

Meanwhile, the key figures in the nine VIP rooms also showed astonishment.

Another Ninth level Master?

However, Xu Nian’s Seventh-level Black Hole Collapse power struggled against the crazed horned rhinos of the Ninth Tower.

Hence, Xu Nian no longer held back, directly employing Eighth Level Profound Argumentation.

With a punch, the void turned into a terrifying vibration.

Eventually crushing a thousand crazed horned rhinos to death.

This scene left everyone present stunned.

Is this seriously still Eighth Level Profound Argumentation?

This was more terrifying than Ninth Level Profound Argumentation.

Hong Xi, Jiang Shengtian, and others were shocked beyond words at the sight of this punch.

Even Shen Tu from the Desolate Clan showed a rare expression of surprise.

However, Xu Nian seemed slightly strained arriving at the second level.

"Looks like that punch drained him quite a bit."

Everyone instantly understood the situation.

After blasting almost a hundred Netherworld Cloud Cats, Xu Nian finally conceded.

Ninth Tower, second level.

Directly surpassing Shen Tu, climbing to first place.

When Xu Nian exited the Sky-reaching Tower, the entire venue fell silent.

After a long time, it erupted into thunderous applause.

Nobody expected Xu Nian to be the ultimate dark horse.

He directly surpassed the original first place Shen Tu and became the first in the second round of the Immortal Order Competition.

"Is this guy’s strength really this monstrous?" Shi Guangxu stared dumbfounded at the rankings on the water screen, seemingly unable to accept it.

Mei Ji looked at Xu Nian’s silhouette, her eyes filled with admiration.

Xu Nian’s strength deeply shocked her.

The most crucial thing was, the sixth place Undying Devouring Sky Beast was actually a part of Xu Nian; if people found out, they’d be speechless from shock.

"This guy’s cultivation speed is truly horrifying. Little brother, it seems your wish to kill the Tiancang Sect Master might really come true," Tantai Xun Yan muttered with a faint smile in the VIP room.
