“`
This is currently the best course of action.
Persuading Xue Lin to leave his side not only protected her safety but also calmed their emotions.
“Since Miss An has people helping her on that side, I shouldn’t be without assistance on mine, right?”
Mo Xianxian raised her beautiful eyes, shimmering like water ripples, and looked at him with a smile.
“Miss Qianxian is joking. With your strength, how could you possibly need it.”
Xu Yuan hurriedly spoke.
Sending Xue Lin to An Yulan’s side was partly to relieve her stress and partly to prevent conflict from erupting.
It was also to prevent a fight from breaking out below while he was guarding the arena above.
But sending the remaining two people by his side to Mo Xianxian—that would be a big problem.
No matter who was sent, that person would surely be dissatisfied.
“Tsk tsk, such a heartless man.”
She feigned a wistful sigh and turned to look toward the plaza where stone platforms were rising from the ground.
At that moment, those who were eliminated in the first round had been transported here by the great efforts of the Return to Void True Person from the Demon Sect.
Straightaway, the ten arenas emerging from the ground slowly rose into the air, breaking free from the earth’s grip.
“Ten arenas.”
Mo Xianxian looked up, slowly exhaling.
She then looked at Xu Yuan and said softly, “Be careful. Although there are ten arenas, there’s no rule against a Protector occupying multiple arenas at the same time.”
Xu Yuan nodded thoughtfully.
After speaking, her garments fluttered as she transformed into a rainbow light landing atop one of the arenas.
Immediately after, she sat down cross-legged without even glancing at the other participants, who were now wary of each other.
On the other side, An Yulan did not choose to rashly take the stage.
Although the second round had a time limit,
the beginning was surely when the competition would be most fierce.
Thus, unless one had absolute confidence in oneself, nobody would choose to become that conspicuous target at this time.
And as expected, after Mo Xianxian took the stage, many eyes looking at her grew eager and restless.
Although the other arenas were still unoccupied, to claim victory, one could not only increase the time their side defended an arena but could also decrease the time others had.
“Oh, right, I forgot to add one rule. The number of arenas will decrease as time passes until they completely disappear. So, I suggest you act sooner rather than later.”
At that moment, the Great Divine Communicator from the high tower spoke up again with a smile.
“What!”
Upon hearing this, many faces changed, and they were about to speak.
“If anyone is dissatisfied with the rules, please, I won’t see you off, but we won’t stop you if you wish to leave. However, if anyone dares speak out of turn here, my Sword Spirit won’t tolerate such words.”
The presence in the high tower seemed to have anticipated their response and preemptively blocked the rude remarks they were about to make.
“Damn it!”
Many were infuriated by his last-minute change to the rules, upset yet not daring to curse openly.
After all, no one knew for sure if he would actually do what he said he would.
If a Great Divine Communicator of the Return to Void truly began a massacre, who among those present could stop him?
Once they were convinced that the rules could not be changed, they no longer had the mind to engage in any further scheming.
Almost simultaneously, about a dozen figures turned into streaks of light, flying towards the remaining nine arenas.
Xu Yuan glanced around and, recognizing the disheveled familiar figure that had plunged into one of the arenas, no longer hesitated and soared into the sky.
As he landed within the arena, a circular shield of Spiritual Power formed around him.
It was designed to prevent interference from others during the duel and also to contain the spread of residual energy.
“Boy, you’re bold.”
Green Lion, surprised at Xu Yuan following his descent, then a chill emerged in his gaze.
“I had intended to spare you for later, but I didn’t expect you to court death by coming up here yourself. Well then, let me oblige you.”
Laughing viciously, he suddenly crouched down, limbs splayed on the ground, his hair growing wildly as his body became larger and more robust.
In an instant, the previously rugged middle-aged man transformed into a lion as if carved from jade, standing formidable before him.
Despite his dismissive words, he still chose to go all out.
“Boy, I will let you understand the gap between the Nascent Soul and the Primordial Spirit is not merely about controlling the heavens and earth. Even without that power, a Primordial Spirit is still a Primordial Spirit to a Nascent Soul!”
“`
His voice was grand and majestic, like a colossal giant regarding an ant with indifferent eyes.
Xu Yuan calmly lifted his head, his expression revealing little of note.
“Is that so?”
He slowly raised his finger, and the emptiness at his fingertip began twisting slowly, as vivid as ripples on water.
Subsequently, a brilliant, kaleidoscopic blaze danced and flickered in his pupils, as if covered by a thin layer of light.
“Then let me see what differentiates you from the Return to Void True Person’s Primordial Spirit incarnation that I have slain.”
Xu Yuan gave a cold smile and clenched his fist fiercely.
Atop that slender fist, invisible flames roared soundlessly, surging with savage fury!
“Nine Heavens Fiend, Divine Fire Fiend!”
When she saw that familiar blaze ignite at his fingertips, within the Water Mirror, Tian Liuli’s expression held little surprise.
Ever since he’d declared he would not reveal in this selection the techniques he’d used before, she had actually guessed it.
After all, she had once demonstrated the Divine Fire Fiend for him.
But is your trump card really just the Divine Fire Fiend?
Tian Liuli slightly raised her exquisite head, her gaze falling upon the bamboo shelf, looking coldly at the Green Crow, who tilted its sleek, black eyes curiously at her.
If that’s all there is, then it is truly disappointing.
A green leaf drifted from a branch, passing by her and landing on the ground.
However, were someone here, they would see the leaf that fell by her turned to autumn gold at some unknown moment.
Above her head, dark-colored light gathered, with blue lightning glimmering, crawling like snakes.
From afar, it was terrifying, as though doomsday had arrived.
Streams of tribulation energy coalesced and floated, but never condensed into thunder tribulation to strike down.
“How dare such a meager heavenly tribulation loom over me?”
Tian Liuli lifted her eyes, smiling composedly, her usual dominating presence resurfacing between her brows, with a subtle expression and an aura mighty as a prison.
Without any visible movement, she uttered a single word: “Refine!”
The apocalyptic scene that seemed like dark clouds would crush the city dispersed in an instant like scattering birds and beasts, dissipated and refined, transforming into the colors of spring.
A brilliant column of light pierced through the dark clouds, falling straight down, enveloping the Liuli-like woman within it.
A misty halo slowly emerged on her skin, clear and lustrous as Liuli. On closer inspection, one could see a jade figure full of splendid light beneath the skin, almost like a double image.
And that was the mark of the Primordial Spirit.
Primordial Spirit, achieved!
The realm of Primordial Spirit, broken!
“It’s time to end this, Mr. Xu, I hope in the end, you won’t disappoint me.”
Tian Liuli murmured with her eyes closed.
Within the melting spring hues, she stood gracefully and quietly, like a goddess descending among the mere, with an ethereal and incomparably beautiful face.
By her side, Emperor’s Abyss, Liuli Heaven Emperor Tower, and many Immortal Dharma Aspects revolved endlessly, like nymphs vying for beauty.
What everyone didn’t know was that she had not been idle during this time.
Just like Mo Xianxian’s True Love Mother-Child Gu, Jing Lixue’s layouts, Tian Liuli had begun her efforts.
She hadn’t been truly just holding a scroll and reading all these days, doing nothing.
Unbeknownst to all, she had already quietly reached the pinnacle among the peaks.
When she started not to worry about becoming immortal, striving to become stronger at all costs, no one knew how powerful she would become.
At Foundation Establishment, she could defeat Core Formation beyond her own realm.
What about Primordial Spirit?
Even Mo Xianxian, who was a Half-Step Primordial Spirit, dared to claim invincibility within the realm of the Primordial Spirit.
How strong would Tian Liuli be, who had successfully entered the realm of Primordial Spirit?
No one knew.
Perhaps, only she herself knew.
‘Looking over the world, nowadays, apart from those few Cultivators who have walked to the end in the Return to Void and those reclusive Mahayana and Immortals, who else could make me raise my hand?’
“Next, it’s my turn to make a move. You all were so lively before, I hope you can at least withstand one strike.”
Her lips revealed a cold yet breathtakingly beautiful smile.
The final act.
