Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 311: Chapter 243 How Lonely It Is To Be Invincible – Part 2

“No, no, no! Brother Qian, don’t misunderstand! I’m not surrendering; it’s just a pity that a talent like you from the Beast Taming Sect is about to be defeated by a nobody like me. If the clan elders blame me later for hitting the face of the Beast Taming Sect, I’ll be really troubled!” Zhao Sheng scratched his head, appearing to be in quite a bind.

“Hmph, don’t get cocky with your words! Initially, out of respect that we both come from the Southern Border, I intended to spare you some pride. Now it seems, being the good guy just doesn’t work!”

Seeing his opponent being “utterly stubborn,” Qian Qianbing’s face turned frosty, and he suddenly shot out thousands of rainbow-like lights from the Aurora Ice Mirror in his hand.

The light merged and refracted with the “Aurora” in the ice domain, instantly turning the ice fog into a dazzling and colorful spectacle, yet behind it lurked a chilling murderous intent.

Witnessing this, Zhao Sheng nodded silently, finally meeting someone with some real capability.

The Aurora Ice Domain laid out by Qian Xuanbing, empowered by the spiritual artifact and demon pet, clearly contained elements of the Nascent Soul Domain.

Though it was just a trace, considering his young age and achieving this with just the Third Level of Foundation Establishment was indeed quite remarkable.

It was no wonder this person was the True Inheritor of the Beast Taming Sect; he truly had some tricks up his sleeve.

People often have this notion that high-talent cultivators who cultivate quickly must also be incredibly powerful.

This notion, however, neglects a crucial factor: time.

Among peers, those with top-grade talent and superior cultivation might be much stronger than their contemporaries.

But among cultivators of the same realm, a young cultivator in his mere thirties, trying to win against Foundation Establishment elders nearly two hundred years old, is far more challenging than most can imagine.

This has led to a peculiar phenomenon.

In the Cultivation World, quite a few cultivating geniuses often “blend into the crowd” when faced with peers at the same level.

Speaking of which, when the Dong family marries off a daughter, they value potential and Qi Fortune most, and they definitely won’t choose those stronger “old Foundation Establishers.”

This rules of engagement at the Phoenix Meeting are quite clear.

All participants are under sixty years old.

This means most cultivators are only at the Early-stage Foundation Establishment, like Zhao Sheng, who are fewer than twenty at the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

…

While Qian Qianbing considered himself naturally superior to his opponent, he completely misunderstood the sort of freakish “monster” he was facing at the moment.

Without a word, Zhao Sheng’s entire body suddenly burst into burning purple flames, transforming him into a Fire Man.

In the next moment, a streak of purple light crossed everyone’s vision, leaving behind a long shadow.

Boom, boom, boom!

In the Aurora Ice Fog that filled half of the Struggle Platform, a series of rapid and massive explosions suddenly echoed. Large expanses of the ice fog continuously vibrated, expanded, and spread, the fog stirred into a chaotic mess.

Simultaneously, the buzzing sound in the ice domain became hectic, sounding utterly frantic, while thousands of Auroras suddenly scattered, their continuous folding and reflecting nearly blinding everyone present.

For a moment, the crowd couldn’t see clearly what was happening on the platform.

Only a few with Miracle Techniques or exceptional talents, like Jin Wulin, could vaguely see that Qian Xuanbing was in a dire situation.

Streaks of purple light were rapidly circling around him, and Qian Xuanbing almost had no power to fight back, as if he was being unilaterally beaten.

Indeed, in just a dozen breaths, Qian Qianbing suddenly flew out from the colorful ice fog and crashed heavily against the protective light shield at the edge of the arena.

A breath later, the Aurora Ice Domain swiftly dissolved, revealing Zhao Sheng unscathed in the center of the arena, while beneath his feet lay a thin layer of crystal white “ice particles,” densely scattered over a large area.

Some “ice particles” were not yet dead, still fluttering on the ground, emitting pitiful buzzing sounds.

Zhao Sheng toyed with the Aurora Ice Mirror for a moment, then casually threw it far away, landing it next to Qian Qianbing, who was just sitting up from the ground.

The Aurora Ice Mirror, a transparent ice mirror about a meter in diameter, was related from Nether Scale Ice Jade found in the lairs of the Aurora Ice Moths, even serving as a kind of spiritual artifact.

If Zhao Sheng had taken it, it would probably have brought significant trouble to the Zhao Family.

Since the Aurora Ice Mirror was Qian Qianbing’s Lifebound Artifact, it was extremely hot to handle!

After Qian Qianbing left the stage with his face covered, Zhao Sheng remained unchanged: “Next!”

…

A while later, a talented individual with a Thunder Spirit Root clashed with Zhao Sheng and was swiftly defeated.

Even though the “Heavenly Thunder True Technique” from the Purple Sun Sect was profoundly mystic, this individual clearly hadn’t mastered it, moving too slow when initiating the Thunder Spell.

Although Thunder Skill is unmatched in speed, it’s useless if it doesn’t hit the target.

Thinking of winning with Thunder Skill was sheer folly.

…

“Anyone else?”

Before long, Zhao Sheng, with a smile, watched a genius of the Illusion Technique from the Immortal Device Sect awkwardly leave the stage, his words becoming increasingly arrogant.

Attempting to use Illusion Techniques before him was simply seeking death.

…

“Brother Zhao, I’m afraid of pain, so please be gentle!”

Looking at Hua Lianqiao in front of him, posing seductively and pretending to be pitiful, Zhao Sheng’s face was covered in black lines.@@novelbin@@

After defeating so many before, this oddball from Joy Heaven actually dared to step up.

“Was his approach not fierce enough?”

Thinking this, a trace of fierceness flashed through Zhao Sheng’s eyes.

…

But as soon as they began, Hua Lianqiao immediately gave Zhao Sheng a big “surprise.”

Although his sexual orientation was twisted, he was undoubtedly a Cultivation genius.

Hua Lianqiao’s spiritual power was naturally several times stronger than ordinary people’s, and after joining Joy Heaven, his main practice was the demonic “Desire Heart Demon Scripture.”
