Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

At the center stage!

At this moment, Yun Xiao was indeed stimulating the power of his three Ancestor Veins, and as the violent force filled his entire body, he undoubtedly felt an unprecedented strength.

Unlike the power borrowed from the Golden Snake Worm before, the power of the Ancestor Veins activated this time belonged to Yun Xiao himself, so he could bear it without any harm and was more adept at using it.

During the late stage of the Meridian Rushing Realm, Yun Xiao had no confidence in making a breakthrough to the early stage of the Meridian Union Realm. However, now, after activating the power of the three great Ancestor Veins, he has broken through to this long-coveted realm.

Although it was only temporary, for Yun Xiao at this moment, it was undoubtedly like sending charcoal in snowy weather, narrowing the gap between him and Yue Qi to a bridgeable extent.

With the combat experience of the former Long Xiao Battle God, Yun Xiao believed that even if he was still a minor realm below Yue Qi, the fight would not be as timid and defensive as before. He could now fend for himself without just desperately defending.

”Yun Xiao, I have to say, you do impress me a bit, but if this is all you’re relying on, then you’re quite the daydreamer!”

As Yun Xiao was relishing his surging power, a light voice suddenly came from the opposite side of the stage, it was Yue Qi speaking. It seemed that after this brief period, he had adjusted to his internal shock and regained the composure of the number one prodigy of the Jade Pot Sect.

Regardless, even if Yun Xiao had broken through to the early stage of the Meridian Union Realm, he was still one minor realm behind Yue Qi, and it was a minor realm within the Meridian Union, a gap that was still difficult to bridge.

Moreover, Yue Qi, with his self-proclaimed status as the top talent of the Jade Pot Sect and his practice of top-tier Cultivation Techniques and Meridian Techniques, was a talent that few could defeat on the Hidden Dragon Continent among his peers.

Yun Xiao had only joined the Jade Pot Sect for a little over a year and, even if Sect Master Yu Shu had taken him as a direct disciple, it was impossible for him to have transformed so drastically in such a short time.

Little did Yue Qi know that Yun Xiao’s reliance was not the inheritance of the Jade Pot Sect Master on the Hidden Dragon Continent, but the supreme memories of the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud.

This battle was destined to be unforgettable for him.

”Whether it’s daydreaming or not, you’ll only know after the fight!”

Yun Xiao was not provoked by Yue Qi’s challenge. Feeling the power coursing through his body, his spirit soared. As his voice fell, he made the first move.

With movement as elusive as a ghost, he closed the distance to Yue Qi instantly, startling the latter, who then felt an intense heat aimed at a major acupoint on his body. If he did not dodge, he would likely suffer a great loss.

Swoosh!

After dodging the strike, Yue Qi realized just how wise his evasion had been when he saw the blood-red flames twirling around Yun Xiao’s fingertips.

But the next moment, Yue Qi had no time to think any further, because on his other side, the equally threatening Ice Cold Qi was already bearing down on him.

Back during the time in the Meridian Treasure, Yun Xiao’s Ice and Fire Ancestor Veins had left a profound impression on Yue Qi. Only at that time, he never thought that he would one day be threatened by it himself.

Months apart, the potency of Yun Xiao’s Ancestor Vein power certainly surprised Yue Qi. He believed that whether it was the intense heat or the Ice Cold Power, once touched, they would cause him a significant loss.

With no other choice, Yue Qi had to keep retreating, but Yun Xiao, seizing the advantage, did not let up. Everyone saw a ruthless flash in his eyes, followed by his right leg rising high like a great blade, chopping down furiously at the retreating Yue Qi.

”Bring it on!”

Seeing Yun Xiao switch from using the Ice Cold Ancestor Vein, Yue Qi was overjoyed. He wasn’t very familiar with this third Ancestor Vein of the opponent and, sensing no great danger in it, he decided to confront it head-on.

As the top talent of the Poison Vein within the Jade Pot Sect, who had defeated Mo Qing in the previous day’s arena battle, how could Yue Qi keep retreating before an audience, giving the impression that he was no match for Yun Xiao?

A special force erupted from Yue Qi’s body. In this moment, he also activated his own Ancestor Vein power. It seemed he had not underestimated Yun Xiao at all and regarded him as a genius on the same level as himself.

Yue Qi, who had stimulated his Ancestor Vein power, hadn’t elevated his Meridian Qi Cultivation to the late stage of the Meridian Union Realm, but his aura had greatly increased, as had his strength.

In Yue Qi’s view, Yun Xiao relied on three Ancestor Veins to elevate his Meridian Qi to the early stage of the Meridian Union Realm and was still somewhat inferior to himself. Not to mention that he had also activated his Ancestor Vein power, and in this exchange, he was determined to not let Yun Xiao get away with it.

However, as Yue Qi moved to meet the attack, he did not see the fleeting cold sneer in Yun Xiao’s eyes. If he really treated this leg swing of the Ancestor Vein as a normal strike, then he might suffer a significant setback.

As Yun Xiao willed it, a yellow light flickered within his right leg’s Ancestor Vein. Immediately thereafter, what had been an ordinary attack turned immensely heavy, as if it had transformed into a thousand-jun (massive) mountain bearing down.

”Hmm?”

The sudden change in aura was also sensed by Yue Qi, but under the current circumstances, just as an arrow must be released once it’s on the bowstring, there was no way for him to regret it, even if he had noticed something unusual.

Moreover, Yue Qi did not believe that someone who had only elevated their Meridian Qi to the Early Stage of Meridian Union Realm by relying on Ancestor Vein Power could pose any threat to him. He was extremely confident in himself.

Bang!

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the leg that Yun Xiao had forcefully swung finally collided with Yue Qi’s fists, generating a loud noise, and even sparked rings of energy fluctuations.

However, to everyone’s shock and disbelief, when the leg and fists collided, a green silhouette seemed to be unable to withstand the opponent’s tremendous power and staggered back several steps before steadying himself, his complexion instantly turning exceedingly grim.

”No, impossible, how can you possess such formidable strength?”

The retreating green figure, naturally, was Yue Qi. He lifted his head, looking at the roughly dressed youth who hadn’t moved an inch, and his voice emerged fraught with unwillingness and incredulity.

”There’s nothing impossible, as you can see, this is the reality!”

Yun Xiao spun the tip of his right foot on the ground, speaking casually, but in truth, he was also somewhat surprised by the power of this kick, as it was beyond his expectations.

To be honest, this was the first time Yun Xiao had used the power of his third Ancestor Vein in combat, and facing Yue Qi made it necessary for him to give his all.

Originally thinking that this Ancestor Vein was much weaker than the Ice Cold Ancestor Veins in both arms, Yun Xiao no longer thought so at this moment, because the power of this Ancestor Vein allowed his attacking strength to reach its peak.

Previously, owing to the tempering of Stone Heart Marrow, Yun Xiao’s physical strength was already a level higher than cultivators of the same rank, but right now, he startlingly discovered that after invoking the power of the third Ancestor Vein, the force his right leg could unleash had increased more than twofold.

If not for such overwhelming attacking power, how could he have repelled Yue Qi, who was an entire realm higher in strength? This is the power of the third Ancestor Vein, an Ancestor Vein that greatly enhances strength.

Among the Five Elements, Earth represents strength, and perhaps because of this reason, the third Earth Attribute Ancestor Vein activated by Yun Xiao turned out to be so potent, a power starkly different from that of the Ancestor Veins in his arms.

Provoked by Yun Xiao’s slightly mocking words, the venom buried deep in Yue Qi’s heart violently erupted. In the next moment, everyone sensed an eerie aura surge towards the sky from him, an aura that was somewhat familiar.

”Demon Seal Poison Body!”

Below the arena, Mo Qing, who was dressed in black, trembled slightly upon sensing this familiar aura because yesterday, Yue Qi had used this mysterious inherited physique to defeat her in the central main arena, causing her to lose the top spot of the Spiritual Chick List.

Aside from Mo Qing, numerous elders from the northern regions instinctively sensed this aura, each displaying various expressions, especially Fu Du, Yue Qi’s mentor, whose somber complexion finally eased a bit.

”Sect Master, your disciple is truly remarkable, to have pushed Yue Qi to this extent is already a matter of pride!”

Glancing sidelong at Yu Shu with a heavy visage, Fu Du’s mood brightened a bit and couldn’t help but speak up. Between the lines, he seemed to suggest that with Yue Qi unleashing the Demon Seal Poison Body, there would no longer be any suspense in this battle.

Even Jia Yi remained silent this time. Indeed, the power of Yue Qi’s Demon Seal Poison Body from yesterday had left her with a profound impression, and she knew the might of this poison body; even her own disciple with a special constitution, Liu Hanyi, would probably not be a match.

The three Ancestor Veins of Yun Xiao had already stunned everyone, but all of this still required the support of Meridian Qi Cultivation. Now that Yue Qi had brought out his trump card, this battle was likely nearing its end.

On the arena!

”Yun Xiao, to make me invoke the Demon Seal Poison Body, even in death, I would have no regrets!”

Yue Qi’s words echoed those of his mentor Fu Du, feeling the power that seemed on the verge of breaking through to the Late Stage of Meridian Union Realm at any moment, he had this utter confidence.

This was an Ancient Inheritance that Yue Qi had acquired with great difficulty with the help of his teacher, and after enduring immense suffering to successfully cultivate the Demon Seal Poison Body, he made an astonishing debut in this Spiritual Chick Battle List and defeated Mo Qing in one fell swoop.

Yue Qi had never anticipated that what he thought would be an easy fight for first place would also require him to invoke the Demon Seal Poison Body. This Yun Xiao’s strength might not fall much short of Mo Qing.

Nevertheless, Yue Qi also believed that once his Demon Seal Poison Body was unleashed, let alone the Jade Pot Sect, even the other two major sects and the Xuanyue Imperial Family could hardly find a rival among their peers.

Winning was just a matter of time.
