Chapter 870, Lofty Sky Giant Lion

Translator: Silavin

Fang Xueming.

Even within the Inner Sect, below the Martial Ancestor Realm, he was one of the best.

Of course, not only him. These ten people represented already the Inner Sect’s top ten below the Martial Ancestor Realm. It was just that amongst these ten, Fang Xueming could rank within the top three!

After he revealed his Martial Soul, the numerous Outer Sect Disciples all felt a pressure that made them suffocate.

Behind him, that Giant Lion seemed as if it had come alive, making people’s hearts tremble with fear.

“Roar…”

A trace of gravity also flashed across Qin Yichen’s face. With a thought, the Taotie Martial Soul manifested behind him.

He naturally knew the person before him was not weak. And he also did not want to choose the weakest.

If he could not even defeat the person before him, then even if he went to Saints City, what of it?!

Moreover, he also wanted to see to what degree his strength had reached.

Although the vast majority of the Hundredth Refined Golden Radiance within the Sacred Lake had entered that little beast’s mouth, he was now just one step away from the Late Stage Martial Emperor Realm.

Most importantly was his Physique.

The Hundredth Refined Golden Radiance brought him not only advancement in his cultivation, but his Physique had also been greatly strengthened.

“Junior Brother Qin Yichen, while you are indeed surprising, I must nevertheless feel regret for your judgement.” Fang Xueming chuckled lightly, his gaze looking towards Qin Yichen not far opposite, and said with a smile.

“Senior Brother, you may attack at will.” Qin Yichen also smiled calmly and said.

“Haha, you have some spirit! However, I won’t hold back because of your status!” Fang Xueming laughed loudly. His foot stamped down, and behind him the Giant Lion Martial Soul roared. A torrential Yuan Energy fluctuation swept open, drawing the astonishment of countless Outer Sect Disciples.

Sensing the Yuan Energy oppression spreading from within Fang Xueming’s body, a smile also surfaced on Qin Yichen’s face. The one he had chosen was indeed very strong!

Within the Battle Hall, as the two moved, numerous gazes converged upon them.

During this period, Qin Yichen had risen to fame swiftly in the Sacred Land like a brilliant new star, but those who had truly seen him take action were not too many.

“I’ve long heard that Senior Brother Qin defeated Yi Buyan here the last time. I wonder just how strong his strength truly is?”

“The one he has chosen this time is not Yi Buyan’s calibre. This guy is from the Inner Sect, and is one of their top ten experts below the Martial Emperor Realm. Moreover, within the top ten, he’s probably second only to Senior Brother Zhong Zi’an.”

“But… Senior Brother Qin is really awesome. I’d rather him win!”

“What a lovestruck fool!”

Whispered conversations continuously rang out around the duelling platform. Thousands upon thousands of Outer Sect Disciples stared at Qin Yichen with burning gazes. Amongst these Disciples were no lack of beautiful and refined female Disciples. Therefore, within the whispered conversations, there was not a little charming and delicate laughter mixed in, causing the originally oppressive atmosphere to liven up considerably.

“Since Junior Brother Qin intends to resolve this in one move, then this humble Senior Brother shall not hide his abilities and comply with your wish!”

*Roar!* Fang Xueming’s words were like thunderclaps rumbling and resounding through the Heavens. As his words fell, behind him in mid-air, that Giant Lion roared and suddenly erupted with ten thousand metres of radiance. This Giant Lion seemed to stand treading upon Heaven, as if the entire Heaven and Earth were beneath its feet. A type of supremely powerful force rippled slowly outward, and even within the space itself, waves of undulating fluctuations erupted.

Fang Xueming’s body slowly levitated upward, landing upon the lion’s head. Under that dazzling radiance, his entire body rippled with a powerful pressure that made people dare not directly look at him.

“Such powerful Yuan Energy fluctuations. Is he truly only at the Peak Stage Martial Emperor Realm?”

“This is… a Lofty Sky Giant Lion ranked fifty-third on the Martial Soul Rankings?!”

Within the Battle Hall, countless Outer Sect Disciples looked with startled suspicion at that Giant Lion manifestation that seemed like a living creature. That type of powerful pressure and fluctuation faintly possessed a feeling that surpassed the limits of the Martial Emperor Realm.

“Senior Brother Xueming actually employed his Martial Soul the moment he attacked. Looks like he truly has no intention of holding back in the slightest!”

“With Senior Brother Xueming’s strength, under the condition of employing his Martial Soul, one move is enough to deal with Qin Yichen.”

“Better to finish him off quickly. Otherwise, anyone will think that having some renown means there is no difference between the Outer Sect and Inner Sect.”

On the side duelling platform, some Inner Sect Disciples also spoke with cold laughter, clearly believing that with this move released, victory or defeat would inevitably be decided.

“So strong!”

Below the duelling platform, Yu Feiquan’s expression became extraordinarily grave. That type of faintly transmitted pressure made him clearly aware that if it were him facing this type of offensive, even if he could block it, he would likely pay an extremely heavy price.

“I wonder if Qin Yichen can withstand this level of attack.” Yu Feiquan’s brows knitted tightly, a colour of worry in his eyes.

On the opposite side of the Giant Lion phantom manifestation, Qin Yichen’s gaze likewise condensed slightly because of the Lofty Sky Giant Lion behind Fang Xueming. From that type of fluctuation, he knew that the Martial Soul Fang Xueming deployed was definitely not inferior to Yi Buyan’s Mutated Martial Soul back then. His strength also far surpassed Yi Buyan. Even without the Martial Soul, even ordinary Martial Ancestors would need to be on high alert.

However Qin Yichen was not the least bit afraid. One must know that at Early Stage Martial Emperor Realm, he could already annihilate Yi Buyan. Now, after the tempering of the Hundredth Refined Golden Radiance, his strength had likewise surged greatly. With just this point alone, wanting to defeat him was not so simple!

“Junior Brother Qin, receive this move of mine… Wild Lion Strikes The Sun!”

Fang Xueming shouted loudly, clearly not intending to give Qin Yichen time to prepare. His figure moved, directly plunging into the Giant Lion manifestation behind him. Then the Giant Lion raised its head and roared and an earth-shattering howl resounded.

*Boom!*

The Giant Lion manifestation at this moment seemed as if it possessed intelligence. After roaring, it stamped upon the void, radiance surging, directly like the collapse of Heaven and Earth.

Each step made Heaven and Earth tremble, carrying torrential momentum; bringing terrifying ripples of force, it suddenly charged towards Qin Yichen.

*Thud! Thud!*

Wherever the Giant Lion passed, the duelling platform below cracked apart completely. Under the Giant Lion’s charge, it seemed as if all things would be thoroughly destroyed.

Watching the Lofty Sky Giant Lion rapidly enlarging in his pupils, Qin Yichen’s face also began to become solemn. His foot tapped lightly, his figure swiftly retreating. Simultaneously, his arm raised slightly, waves of force swiftly stacking upon it.

*Roar!*

As Qin Yichen’s figure retreated violently, the Taotie Martial Soul behind him gave a long howl. Amidst numerous bewildered gazes, it whistled forth, charging towards that radiant Giant Lion.
