Myriad Dragon Divine Sovereign

At that moment, a clear shout echoed in all directions. Hearing the voice, Hua Du abruptly halted.

The crowd turned toward the sound, only to see Sheng Ao slowly walking out. His eyes, like a hawk surveying the land, fixed on Wen Qingye as he parted his lips.

”I’ll handle this.”

Zhou Yue looked over as well. When she saw Sheng Ao striding toward Wen Qingye, her heart sank.

The eyes of countless onlookers lit up, and they watched Sheng Ao with uncontainable excitement.

A moment ago, Sheng Ao had been matched with Qiuu Ming, much to the crowd’s delight. They had been eager to see Sheng Ao’s abilities, but Qiuu Ming had been a disappointment. Now, things were different. Wen Qingye had appeared.

They believed Wen Qingye could surely force Sheng Ao to use his true skills, allowing them to witness the power of one of the Celestial Profound Sect’s three great geniuses of the last eight years.

Hearing Sheng Ao’s words, Hua Du was overjoyed. ’Good, good! Absolute Peak still has capable people.’

Mo Qing couldn’t help but clap, her face breaking into a wide grin as she jumped for joy. ”Ha! Now we’ve got a real show! That bastard Wen Qingye, HAHAHAHA! Give him a brutal lesson!”

Sheng Ao’s expression was utterly indifferent. ”I was the one who dealt with that Qiuu Ming. His strength was pathetic. So pathetic, I didn’t even get a proper warm-up. I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

Hearing Sheng Ao’s words, a sharp, black glint flickered in Wen Qingye’s pupils. He then spoke slowly, ”I will make you understand the gap between us. It is a chasm you will never be able to cross in this lifetime.”

Killing intent for someone like Sheng Ao had already bloomed in Wen Qingye’s heart. ’But I can’t kill him right now,’ he thought. ’So I’ll just have to cripple him.’

”HAHAHA! Wen Qingye, your arrogance knows no bounds! I’ll make you kneel and beg me for mercy!”

With a wild laugh, Sheng Ao shot forward. The veins on his arm bulged like writhing dragons, and a dark black Qi Aura enveloped his entire limb.

”Fierce Mountain Cyan Cloud Force!”

His rock-like arm punched out. The surging Powerful Qi turned into wisps of white smoke as a fierce wind swept outward. Endless streams of Powerful Qi, like threads of silk, shot viciously toward Wen Qingye.

BANG! Before the dark Powerful Qi had even arrived, the black threads erupted, piercing straight through Wen Qingye’s Protective Primordial Qi.

This was the Law of the Dao of Profound Destruction.

”Wen Qingye, is that all the strength you have?” Sheng Ao’s eyes filled with disdain as he sneered.

Despite his words, Sheng Ao didn’t slow in the slightest. He charged toward Wen Qingye, the black Powerful Qi on his arm flaring as he closed the distance at an astonishing speed.

”This one punch will finish you!”

A savage, excited smile twisted Sheng Ao’s lips.

Just then, Wen Qingye flung his arms wide. Countless streams of Primordial Qi rushed toward him. Like a black hole, he madly absorbed all the Primordial Qi in the area.

WHOOSH!

A massive phantom suddenly materialized behind Wen Qingye. A grim and terrifying aura began to permeate the air. A vast, imposing temple appeared at his back, wreathed in countless bizarre black air currents that seemed to blot out the very sky.

”Undying Seal Technique, Third Form! Yama Hall Judges Yin and Yang!”

The great hall trembled violently, and countless ghostly figures howled all around it.

A Seal Technique materialized between Wen Qingye’s palms, coalesced, and shot directly toward Sheng Ao’s fist.

BOOM!

A deafening roar erupted as their techniques collided, sending out shockwave after shockwave that rippled into the distance.

Wen Qingye’s eyes were as calm as an ancient well. With a sudden grasp of his hand, he seized the oncoming shockwaves, crushing them into nothingness.

Sheng Ao, however, felt as if he had struck an unshakable mountain. A violent tremor ran up his arm, nearly dislocating it. He stumbled back several steps, his aura in disarray.

”This...”

They had exchanged only a single blow, but the result was beyond anyone’s expectations.

Tangg Jin stared, stunned. ”Wen Qingye has the upper hand?” she said in disbelief. ”How is that possible?”

Nie Shuang watched Wen Qingye and sighed. ”That’s just how Wen Qingye is. It’s said the gaps between realms grow wider at higher levels, but that rule doesn’t seem to apply to him. He could fight above his level during Refining Essence, during Refining Spirit, and in the Yin-Yang Realm. Even now, in the Destruction Realm, he can still easily challenge those in higher tiers.”

”How can such a monstrous person exist?” Tangg Jin frowned upon hearing Nie Shuang’s words.

Nie Shuang smiled wryly. ”A genius? In his presence, the word means nothing.”

Normally, the higher one’s cultivation, the more difficult it is to defeat an opponent in a superior realm. It’s a feat few can achieve. But Wen Qingye not only managed it, he could overcome a gap of not just one level, but two.

Tangg Jin then considered that the one Wen Qingye was challenging across realms was Sheng Ao. And who was Sheng Ao? An unparalleled genius! ’But in front of Wen Qingye,’ she thought, ’what is an unparalleled genius? It’s as if the concept doesn’t even exist.’ She sucked in a sharp breath. Comparing the two, Wen Qingye was terrifying to his very core.

’What a pity. No matter how monstrous he is, he’s a dead man walking. He’s already crippled,’ Tangg Jin thought, remembering Wen Qingye’s meridians, and a cold sneer formed on her lips.

Mo Qing grit her teeth, watching Wen Qingye’s robes flutter in the wind. ”That bastard,” she muttered under her breath. ”His strength has improved again. He’s almost at the Fourth Heaven of Destruction Realm. Isn’t he afraid of death?”

Wen Qingye looked at Sheng Ao and said slowly, ”You shouldn’t get so ahead of yourself.”

Sheng Ao stumbled back, his face turning livid. His eyes, fixed on Wen Qingye, burned with an anger so thick it was palpable.

”You do have some skill. I underestimated you. Next, I’ll let you witness the Bursting Law of the Dao of Profound Destruction at the Earthly Realm!”

The moment Sheng Ao finished speaking, the surrounding crowd was stunned.

Many in the audience had a higher cultivation than Sheng Ao, yet his words made them tremble.

Jin Ming, who was standing in the crowd, felt his expression change slightly. ’That Sheng Ao... he actually comprehended the Bursting Law at the Earthly Realm.’

Duan Hui said in his simple-minded way, ”The Bursting Law of the Earthly Realm is incredibly difficult to comprehend. If Sheng Ao is telling the truth, he’s simply monstrous. With his current strength, he could even take on an ordinary expert at the Sixth Heaven of the Destruction Realm.”

Jin Ming’s brow furrowed, and he let out a sigh. ”I’m at the First Level of Destruction Realm, and I’ve only comprehended the First Layer of the Human Dao for the Bursting Law. Sheng Ao is truly a genius.”

”Black Flame Seal!”

Sheng Ao threw his arms wide and launched himself into the air, his form like a hawk spreading its wings. His arms pulsed with a dark, explosive aura as vast Primordial Qi erupted forth, shattering the very air as he ruthlessly blasted down toward Wen Qingye.
