"One Art Suppresses Heaven!"
As Li Xuan felt the surrounding space being sealed off, his mind immediately moved, and he unleashed the divine ability taught by the Elder of Ten Thousand Peaks.
This battle was crucial for the ranking of the Tianyi Domain, and to secure an early victory and boost morale, Li Xuan held nothing back, unleashing his full power.
With the boost from two Heavenly Suns, the number of Star Spirit Orbs in Li Xuan's divine mansion had reached twenty-five million six hundred thousand.
Of course, this was also thanks to Bai Suxin, the White Venerable, Mo Ningxiang, the Great Venerable's wife, and Lin Yunyun, the Venerable. During Li Xuan's six months of seclusion, he had absorbed all the ten thousand Taiyuan Fruits gifted by Bai Suxin, the White Venerable, and the other two.
Under the spiritual pressure of twenty-five million six hundred thousand Star Spirit Orbs, a terrifying aura pressed down upon Xiao Chen. If it weren't for Miao Yunxiao's presence, the entire plaza would have been blown away and destroyed.
Subsequently, a ray of rainbow light, as thick as an arm, descended from the heavens as if from the nine skies, falling towards Xiao Chen with extreme speed and swiftness. Wherever it passed, space collapsed and fell into ruin. Seeing Li Xuan's attack, Xiao Chen's eyes also sharply constricted.
"Killing Aura Dragon Seal!"
Xiao Chen rapidly formed seals with his hands. While retreating, ice crystals began to appear on his body. Faintly, it seemed as if dragon shadows were moving within them. In just a few breaths, a three-zhang wide ice crystal defense had formed around Xiao Chen's entire body.
Boom!
Just as Xiao Chen completed his defense, Li Xuan's attack descended instantly. The dazzling rainbow light clashed and eroded the ice crystals above Xiao Chen.
"This divine ability... seems somewhat familiar." Miao Yunxiao, seated in the eastern position, watched the battle between Li Xuan and Xiao Chen, his brows furrowed in deep thought.
A moment later, Miao Yunxiao's eyes lit up. "That's right. That person was in the Tianyi Domain over ten thousand years ago. It must be him. I didn't expect this kid to gain his approval."
"Island Master, should this battle be recorded?" Miao Yunxiao murmured, and a disciple behind him bowed and asked in a low voice.
"Record it, but the image stone of this battle does not need to be submitted after it ends," Miao Yunxiao replied after a moment of contemplation.
"Yes." The disciple was stunned for a moment, then nodded with some confusion.
Bang!
In a flash of lightning, the ice crystals around Xiao Chen's body could no longer withstand the dazzling rainbow light. With a violent bang, they exploded, scattering ice fragments everywhere. Although somewhat consumed, the still resplendent rainbow light directly struck Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen's body was sent flying backwards.
Li Xuan glanced at the scene and his figure moved, instantly disappearing from his original position. In the next moment, Li Xuan appeared directly in the direction where Xiao Chen landed and slammed down a punch.
Boom!
A deafening roar sounded, and Xiao Chen's body was directly punched into the ground by Li Xuan. Dust and smoke filled the air. Li Xuan, floating in mid-air, showed no relaxation on his face; instead, he became even more solemn than before.
Because in that instant, Li Xuan felt Xiao Chen's aura not diminish, but ascend.
"Cough, cough... The Six Domains of the Cloud World are indeed worthy of their reputation. Even without a Great Venerable presiding over the Tianyi Domain, the disciples who come out are still extraordinary. I must say your strength is immense. If it were me a year ago, I truly might not be your match."
As the dust settled, Xiao Chen's figure slowly emerged from the flying sand.
Although his clothes were tattered, his aura was extremely strong. Even Li Xuan's pupils contracted at this moment.
Because the spiritual pressure above Xiao Chen's head had reached twenty-nine million nine hundred thousand Star Spirit Orbs!
"I wonder what other trump cards you have. If this is all, then this battle might have to be declared over."
Xiao Chen, unconcerned about his tattered clothes, looked at Li Xuan with a smile and spoke. With twenty-nine million nine hundred thousand Star Spirit Orbs, Xiao Chen indeed had the right to say so.
Li Xuan took a deep breath and no longer concealed himself. The third Heavenly Sun slowly floated out.
"Three Suns Auspicious?" Seeing the third Heavenly Sun floating above Li Xuan, Xiao Chen's pupils sharply contracted.
Even Miao Yunxiao, seated in the east, widened his eyes in surprise. Under the augmentation of the Three Suns, Li Xuan's Star Spirit Orb pressure had reached thirty million forty thousand!
"As expected, you had reservations. Since that's the case, let's see who can last until the end!"
Although somewhat surprised by Li Xuan's Star Spirit Orb reserves, Xiao Chen did not retreat because of it. Li Xuan had fifty thousand more Star Spirit Orbs than Xiao Chen, but at their level, this number was negligible.
In a battle of equals, only a fight to the death would suffice!
"As you wish!" Li Xuan's expression was calm. Although he didn't want to reveal his strongest combat power so quickly, to preserve Tianyi Domain's ranking, Li Xuan had no choice but to go all out.
Although Supreme Mu Lanxin had said it was fine even if they dropped out of the top six, Li Xuan had gained everything in the Tianyi Domain without having to pay much. Preserving Tianyi Domain's ranking would be his contribution.
Boom!
As Li Xuan's words fell, a pillar of pressure, carrying the might of thirty million forty thousand Star Spirit Orbs, rolled towards Xiao Chen. Simultaneously, Xiao Chen, showing no fear, met the charge.
Roars echoed continuously, and space collapsed and fell into ruin.
Bang bang bang!
Li Xuan and Xiao Chen met, and their figures instantly became entangled. One after another, deafening roars resounded, and finally, their figures became indistinguishable. As spiritual light flashed everywhere, the figures of Li Xuan and Xiao Chen were completely submerged in the spiritual light.
"Pavilion Master Li Xuan's strength has actually broken through thirty million Star Spirit Orbs. In the future, given time, he will surely become a pillar of our Tianyi Pavilion!"
Elder Tu Tian and the others, watching Li Xuan and Xiao Chen's battle, spoke with shock in their eyes.
Having cultivated for countless years, they were well aware of Li Xuan's strength when he joined the Mu Pavilion of the Tianyi Domain. In just over a decade, he had undergone such a transformation. For a moment, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Looking at the overall situation, Elder Geng Tian and Elder Jin Tian have the upper hand, and should secure two victories. Currently, Pavilion Master Li Xuan and that Xiao Chen are in a stalemate, and it will be difficult to determine a winner in a short while."
"Although Pavilion Master Zhou and Pavilion Master Zhu are also in a deadlock, their auras are stable, and the situation looks optimistic if it continues like this," Elder Mu Tian said.
Bang!
Bang bang!
Just then, accompanied by three breaking sounds, Elder Geng Tian, Elder Jin Tian, and Zhou Qingzi all struck their opponents with a palm, knocking them down. The three challengers from the Dilong Sect fell to the ground and remained there for a long time without standing up.
Miao Yunxiao waved his hand, and the three were instantly teleported to the Dilong Sect's area.
The Tianyi Domain had secured three victories in this ranking challenge.
Boom!
Less than twenty seconds later, a roar echoed. Amidst the billowing dust, Zhu Bing's figure also walked out.
Tianyi Domain, four victories!
