The sword, it is the Shijian.
Although Li Xuan had considered whether this distance might be noticed by the nine Sovereigns, he eventually put his mind at ease.
If he didn't use the Shijian, he might not be able to suppress Su Mubai. Moreover, he had already used the Shijian in the Zhuxian illusion, and the screen projection he saw after coming out was enough to prove it.
Seeing Li Xuan make a move, a hint of anger flashed in Su Mubai's eyes, but he quickly held his long spear and thrust it out.
As the saying goes, a sharp point, a spear like a dragon.
With one thrust, the entire sky was filled with spear momentum.
Clang.
The sword and the spear met, and a deafening roar instantly erupted. The next moment, Li Xuan and Su Mubai were both forced back dozens of steps.
So strong!
At this moment, both Li Xuan and Su Mubai had this thought. However, what Li Xuan cared about was the spiritual spear in Su Mubai's hand, which could withstand a strike from the Shijian.
As for Su Mubai, he was somewhat shocked and astonished. The spiritual spear in his hand was a primordial treasure of the highest grade. He originally thought that this thrust would end the battle, but it turned out to be a stalemate.
"I underestimated you. I didn't expect the spiritual sword in your hand to also be a primordial treasure of the highest grade," Su Mubai said deeply after taking a deep breath.
Li Xuan smiled upon hearing this. The Shijian in his hand was personally forged by his master. Although he didn't know its exact grade, he thought it wouldn't be a primordial treasure.
Li Xuan knew clearly that his master had once said that the Shijian was still sealed. Although it had been with him for some time, he learned from the Tiandao Pen that the sword had only been unsealed by two to three thousandths. Once fully unsealed, Li Xuan found its power terrifying just thinking about it.
"Although you possess a divine artifact, your own realm is ultimately insufficient. Therefore, let the battle end."
After Su Mubai finished speaking, he directly shot the spiritual spear at Li Xuan.
"Heavenly Scale Dragon Slash!"
A dragon shadow was faintly visible above the spiritual spear, becoming more and more real under the spiritual light.
Roar!
Accompanied by a dragon's roar, the spiritual spear seemed to descend from the nine heavens, piercing through the void. Wherever it passed, it annihilated everything, and even the arena tilted at this moment.
Sensing the dragon's might mixed within the spear's power, Li Xuan's expression slightly intensified.
"One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Laws!"
Li Xuan displayed his Shijian again, this time stacking the Sword Overlapping Technique to fifty thousand layers. During his secluded cultivation, Li Xuan had finally managed to stack the Sword Overlapping Technique to fifty-one thousand layers. This strike was considered one of Li Xuan's strongest trump cards.
Boom!
The spear and the sword collided once more, the roaring sounds echoing incessantly, and the entire arena trembled at this moment.
Fortunately, Wang Chongyu, who was closely watching the battle, waved his hand as soon as he saw this, and the arena instantly became motionless.
The terrifying shockwaves rippled, and both Li Xuan and Su Mubai were repelled to the edges.
The only difference was that at this moment, Li Xuan's Shijian seemed to have a will of its own, flashing with bursts of sword intent. The spiritual spear, however, began to retreat under this sword intent. And its speed was incredibly fast. In a blink of an eye, the spiritual spear could not bear it, let out a mournful cry, and fell to the ground.
"I think this battle has truly reached its end."
Li Xuan exhaled a turbid breath, then his expression turned serious as he urged the Shijian again.
"Slash!"
The sword intent of the Shijian was unprecedentedly strong, and even the adjacent arena was affected to some extent.
Roar!
The terrifying sword intent surged, instantly heading towards Su Mubai.
"Damn it!"
Su Mubai's pupils contracted sharply upon seeing this. How could he possibly withstand this sword strike? Moreover, Su Mubai knew that if this sword strike hit, he would be utterly destroyed.
"If I must die, then we die together!"
A trace of ferocity flashed in Su Mubai's eyes. A compass instantly appeared in his hand, which he then threw into the sky. Immediately after, it exploded.
Buzz.
As the compass exploded, an incredibly powerful force suddenly appeared on the arena. A black hole appeared above, and a terrifying suction force surged, instantly causing Li Xuan to lose his ability to resist.
"Hahaha, I forgot to tell you, this compass is the Niulun Pan! Even if I die, I will send you into the Sea of Nothingness, so that you can never come out until you die of old age. Hahaha..." Su Mubai was already somewhat deranged, his expression showing a hint of madness.
Boom!
The next moment, the Shijian directly pierced through Su Mubai's chest, and the maniacal smile on his face gradually froze.
"Not good!"
Wang Chongyu also noticed something was wrong at this moment, and his figure moved, shooting towards Li Xuan's location. Even Xiao Yan and others, with solemn expressions, arrived above the arena.
Unfortunately, Li Xuan had already been sucked into the black hole. By the time Wang Chongyu and the nine others arrived, the black hole had just closed.
"I didn't expect Su Mubai to use the Niulun Pan. We were indeed careless," Wang Chongyu said in a deep voice.
"Su Mubai is dead, so it's not the time to pursue responsibility. It's just that the contestant who was sucked into the space-time tunnel is unlikely to survive," the Eastern Region Lord Huang Yi sighed slightly.
"Li Xuan was sent into the Sea of Nothingness, so he won't die immediately. If he's lucky, there might be a chance for him to get out," the Haotian Region Lord Shi Hao said with a slight smile.
"To be able to become a person of destiny, although someone concealed his heavenly secrets, he must have great fortune. Since this person has a powerful expert behind him, we don't need to worry about this matter," Lin Dong, Xiao Yan, and Mu Chen exchanged glances and then nodded.
"His heavenly secrets were concealed? We didn't notice it at all. Could the strength of the person behind this child be even greater than ours?" Duan Sheng and Hong Ye's expressions slightly changed upon hearing this. However, they looked at Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, and Mu Chen with a trace of reverence.
They hadn't noticed this, but Xiao Yan and the other two had. Clearly, the strength of Xiao Yan and the other two had surpassed theirs.
"There are people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens in this world. Who dares to say that the world we are in is the most powerful world? The road ahead is long and arduous, and I will seek it diligently. Everyone, let us continue to preside over the assessment," Mu Chen said.
Wang Chongyu and the others nodded slightly, then moved back to their original positions.
Meanwhile, Li Xuan had already fainted in the space-time tunnel.
