CHAPTER 838: CHAPTER 838: BATTLE AT THE PINNACLE

Three days later.

The battle scenes of the hundred heavenly talents had been almost endlessly replayed.

Everyone had a rough understanding of each other’s strengths.

"Now, please select your thrones!"

Mu Qing spoke once more.

To them, these few days passed in the blink of an eye.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Streams of Spiritual Power or Divine Soul Telekinesis shot towards the ten rows of thrones.

As long as you touch a throne, it is considered chosen.

The vast majority were Spiritual Power Practitioners.

At the level of eleven-star emperors, ordinary Divine Thought Masters became increasingly powerless.

On the most noble golden throne at the top, only two streams of Spiritual Power touched it.

One came from Mu Jizhou.

Mu Jizhou’s strength had long deterred the heavenly talents of Qing Province; no one dared to contend with him.

No one else dared to touch it!

And, the other was Ling Chen.

This scene did not surprise Mu Jizhou.

He was precisely looking forward to dueling Ling Chen!

Jiang Xiaoman chose the second throne.

After demonstrating her incredible defense, no one else dared to contend with her.

She was the only one.

This was fine, as she didn’t need to act; Jiang Xiaoman ascended to the second rank among the Heavenly Pride Gang.

For the third throne, more heavenly talents chose it.

A total of twelve people.

All of them were eleven-star peak emperors.

They knew they weren’t Jiang Xiaoman’s match, but naturally, the higher the rank within the top ten, the better.

Ling Wu also chose the third throne.

The other heavenly talents chose according to their strengths.

Soon, all the heavenly talents made their choices.

"Then let’s begin!"

Mu Qing announced directly.

He casually named two people, and the two heavenly talents flew into the sky to duel.

The order of the battle naturally prioritized lower ranks.

These two were contestants who chose the ninetieth throne.

With weaker cultivation, only eight-star emperors.

They fought intensely, taking a full quarter of an hour to decide the victor.

The winner advanced, while the loser was directly eliminated.

This battle did not require drawing lots; whoever lost was eliminated.

In the following two days.

One exciting battle followed another.

To secure their rankings, the heavenly talents gave it their all.

Ling Wu also participated in the battles.

Relying on the power of the top-grade Emperor Spirit Technique Green Lotus Dragon Transformation, Ling Wu directly seized the third place.

Among the top three, there was a heavenly talent from the Southern Domain and one from the Eastern Domain, which excited the cultivators from the East, West, South, and Central Four Domains immensely.

In previous heavenly talent rankings, although cultivators from the Four Domains occasionally appeared.

But most were ranked beyond the ninetieth.

This time, they actually entered the top three.

It could be called a major breakthrough!

How could the people of the Four Domains not be excited?

What excited them even more was that Ling Chen was still qualified to compete for the championship.

Even if he failed, he would almost certainly lock in the top ten.

And, if successful, he would make history!

The Northern Region Cultivators, however, wore grim expressions.

Their dignified Northern Region, standing above the Four Domains, had no one in the top three.

It was simply disgraceful.

Though Mu Jizhou was in Qing City, to be precise, he was not a Northern Region Cultivator.

The next day.

Amidst everyone’s anticipation.

The peak battle between Mu Jizhou and Ling Chen finally arrived.

No one knew Mu Jizhou’s true strength.

Neither did they know if Ling Chen could make Mu Jizhou show his full prowess.

After all, in that battle with Ling Chen, although Qi Tianyan was killed, the latter was, after all, just a Divine Thought Master.

They did indeed feel Ling Chen’s attack.

Which reached the pinnacle of eleven-star emperors.

But, compared to Mu Jizhou, who surpassed eleven-star emperors, there still seemed to be a gap.

In the high sky.

Ling Chen and Mu Jizhou stood facing each other.

The cold wind howled, causing their robes to flap noisily.

Ling Chen’s flowing white hair was extremely striking.

At this moment, almost all cultivators’ eyes were fixed on the two of them.

Whether in the Void Realm or the State Governor Mansion.

"Young Master Ling, I hope you don’t disappoint me!"

Mu Jizhou’s eyes radiated with battle intent.

He gripped the void with his right hand.

A golden longsword materialized.

"Indeed, a quasi-Emperor Weapon!"

Ling Chen couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.

The aura emitted by this longsword far surpassed that of top-grade Emperor Spiritual Weapons.

Though it hadn’t yet reached the level of an Emperor Weapon, it wasn’t far off.

"Ah, it’s a quasi-Emperor Weapon!"

"The Young Master used a quasi-Emperor Weapon right from the start!"

"It seems Ling Chen puts a significant amount of pressure on the Young Master!"

...

Many people exclaimed.

Their eyes filled with even greater anticipation.

"You will definitely not be disappointed!"

Ling Chen’s expression grew more solemn.

His right hand reached out.

A black longsword shimmered into existence.

"Hiss, could this also be a quasi-Emperor Weapon?"

"Yes, its aura is no weaker than the Young Master’s quasi-Emperor Weapon!"

"Unexpectedly, Young Master Ling managed to obtain a quasi-Emperor Weapon!"

...

Discussion erupted once again.

The Mystic Sword was an evolution from a consumed Emperor Spirit Weapon, comparable to a lower-grade Emperor Spirit Weapon.

However, its aura was still distinct from Emperor Spirit Weapons.

Thus, causing people to misunderstand.

Mu Jizhou was not surprised.

During the previous observation of Ling Chen’s fight, he had sensed that Ling Chen’s weapon was quite special.

"Back then, Jiang Xiaoman was defeated under this very sword of mine. I wonder if Young Master Ling can withstand this strike?"

Mu Jizhou spoke coldly.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Terrifying Spiritual Power swept out as waves of golden Sword Qi shot out.

It filled the space in front of him like a vast sea.

In almost an instant, a Golden Holy Dragon was formed.

It was accompanied by endless majesty.

Even instilling an impulse to worship.

Holy Dragon Suppression Heaven Technique!

The top-grade Emperor Spirit Technique from the State Governor Mansion!

Moreover.

Mu Jizhou possessed a Four Elements Immortal Body.

His Spiritual Power slightly surpassed that of a Sacred Body.

Combined with the support of a quasi-Emperor Weapon.

Its power had long surpassed that of an ordinary eleven-star peak emperor!

Of course, the Sword Dao imbued in the Golden Holy Dragon was on an adept level.

This level was virtually the pinnacle for an emperor.

In previous battles, such a level of ’Dao’ had never appeared.

This move, even Jiang Xiaoman, despite using the Great Void Transformation Technique, such an Emperor Secret Technique, could not withstand.

"Please witness it, Young Master Mu!"

Ling Chen’s lips curved upward.

Black Spiritual Power surged out from his body like great rivers and seas.

"Green Lotus Dragon Transformation!"

Waves of Green Lotus Sword Qi burst out from the Mystic Sword.

Followed by the fierce emergence of a blue giant dragon!

Now, he, too, was an eleven-star emperor, mastering the World Power no weaker than Mu Jizhou’s.

Right now, there was no need to invoke the Green Lotus Bloodline!

Green Lotus Dragon Transformation was the sixth move of the Green Lotus Sword Manual, its power surpassing the opponent’s Holy Dragon Suppression Heaven Technique.

Even though the Holy Dragon Suppression Heaven was a top-grade Emperor Spirit Technique!

Additionally, Ling Chen’s Mystic Sword could completely rival lower-grade Emperor Spirit Weapons.

Equally surpassing Mu Jizhou’s quasi-Emperor Weapon!

So, Ling Chen was confident that with this, he could withstand it!

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

Two earth-shattering dragon roars erupted, a Golden Holy Dragon and a blue giant dragon collided fiercely across a stretch of several hundred feet, under the endless anticipation of the crowd!

"Boom!"

The space shook violently.

At the clash’s point, the black void was fully revealed.

Evidently, this strike had reached an extremely terrifying level!

The two giant dragons engaged in frenzied combat.

Waves of terrifying storms swept forth.

As if it were the end of the world!

The clash between the two of them had reached a level comparable to that of Emperor Realm powerhouses!
