In the Xuanwu Palace training ground.
At this mont, a significant number of people were gathered.
Clearly, all these people had been attracted by Xu Nian and Emperor Xuanwu.
It was a rare occasion to see Emperor Xuanwu spar with soone.
Naturally, they wouldn't want to miss it.
And right now, Xu Nian was standing face to face with Emperor Xuanwu at the center of the training ground.
The two stood opposite each other, a picture of tension about to explode.
"Boom!"
Emperor Xuanwu summoned his Heavy Sword, which heavily landed on the Xuanwu Arena.
Although the arena was underwater, the entire floor was made of incredibly hard Sea Dragon Stone.
Incredibly tough.
Yet at this mont, with a light touch from the Heavy Sword, the ground shattered into pieces.
One could see just how heavy the sword really was.
"This sword is nad Chongshan, obtained from the periphery of the Immortal Treasure Relics. It weighs eighteen million catties and is a Mid-grade Spiritual Artifact," Emperor Xuanwu spoke.
The crowd around him gasped in amazent.
Eighteen million catties in weight.
Such a terrifying weight that even they might not be able to lift.
Xu Nian also looked at the ancient black giant sword.
Indeed, just as he had guessed, the weight of this giant sword was much the sa as his Kunlun Hamr.
The black giant sword was as heavy as a mountain, truly living up to the na Chongshan.
"Boom!"
Xu Nian likewise summoned his own Kunlun Hamr.
The Kunlun Hamr hit the ground, causing a thunderous roar.
Similarly smashing the floor beneath them into fragnts.
"This hamr is nad Kunlun, weighing twenty million catties. It is also a Mid-grade Spiritual Artifact, though it was crafted by myself," Xu Nian said, smiling.
"What? Twenty million catties? Did I hear that right?"
"What's terrifying isn't the weight, but the fact that he crafted this Mid-grade Spiritual Artifact? How old is this human? How could he possibly have crafted a Mid-grade Spiritual Artifact?"
...
The crowd around them showed expressions of surprise.
Even Emperor Xuanwu was taken aback.
"Are you an Artifact Refiner?" Emperor Xuanwu asked in astonishnt.
"Indeed!" Xu Nian nodded his head.
Emperor Xuanwu sowhat doubtfully looked toward Xuan Hong.
"This hamr was indeed refined by him alone; I can attest to that," Xuan Hong interjected.
Everyone around, including Emperor Xuanwu, was surprised.
They had not expected this youth to be an Artifact Refiner.
Such a young Refiner they had never seen before.
The most crucial point was that soone was actually able to craft a Spiritual Artifact in this suppressed world.
And not just any Spiritual Artifact, but a Mid-grade one. It was truly astonishing.
"It seems I underestimated Lord Xu Nian, with just your status as a Mid-grade Refiner, you command respect. I apologize for my earlier offense," Emperor Xuanwu said.
By his side, Luo Pingnan was also tense.
He hadn't expected that he had actually offended a Mid-grade Refiner before.
One must know that a Mid-grade Refiner's status in the Cultivation World is exceedingly revered.
Therefore, Xu Nian's status was by no ans beneath that of Emperor Xuanwu.
"Brother Xuan Feng need not be so courteous; how about we continue to address each other as brothers?" Xu Nian said with a smile.
"Haha, agreed!" Emperor Xuanwu laughed heartily.
Clearly, he felt Xu Nian's attitude was very much to his liking, and his gaze toward Xu Nian beca even more affectionate.
"Since Brother Xu Nian has put it that way, I won't mince words. Let's put our skills to the test next!" Emperor Xuanwu declared.
After finishing his words, a yellowish-brown fluctuation emanated from his body.
As the fluctuation spread, Emperor Xuanwu's aura beca incredibly dense.
And the Chongshan in his hands seed to gain weight instantly.
It beca even heavier beyond compare.
Xu Nian was sowhat astonished.
The Power of Earth he understood leaned more towards the aspect of seismic activity.
Through the pulsation of the earth, his attacks grow formidable in strength.
But Emperor Xuanwu was different.
His Earth Profound Arguntation was purer.
Entirely a matter of strength.
"Brother Xu Nian, this move, created from my understanding of the Earth Profound Arguntation Threshold, is called Mountain Suppressing. Let's see if you can take it," Emperor Xuanwu bellowed, then swung the Heavy Sword in his hand straight towards Xu Nian.
The Heavy Sword surged with an incredibly thick aura.
It was as if a giant mountain descended from the sky, fiercely suppressing Xu Nian.
"Earth Hamr!"
Xu Nian didn't dawdle in the slightest, instantly invoking his own Earth Profound Arguntation.
"Buzz!"
Instantly, an earthen light circle rose from his feet.
Directly applying its strength to Xu Nian's whole body.
Xu Nian swung the Tie Chui, striking hard at the giant sword that cleaved through the sky.
"Clang!"
The Tie Chui and the giant sword collided fiercely.
An earth-shattering noise erupted.
A terrifying wave of energy instantly spread through the water in all directions.
Everyone around covered their ears, their faces showing signs of pain.
The attacks of the two were simply too strong.
They could hardly believe what it would be like if such attacks fell upon them.
Xu Nian and Emperor Xuanwu were both blown back by this force.
Both of them retreated dozens of steps.
The ground beneath their feet was directly indented with dozens of large pits.
Xu Nian rubbed his numbing arms.
He hadn't gained any advantage from this exchange.
On the contrary, the strength on the giant sword was even stronger than his.
It had to be said, Emperor Xuanwu was indeed very strong.
Emperor Xuanwu was also quite astonished at this mont.
In the entire Forbidden Sea, there were not many who could contend with his strength.
The fact that Xu Nian was able to withstand a strike from him was truly rare.
"Brother Xu Nian, you could be said to be the youngest and strongest person I've ever seen. I truly cannot imagine how the Human Clan has produced such a genius like you," Emperor Xuanwu spoke.
Xu Nian just smiled.
He was indifferent to Emperor Xuanwu's praise.
"I see that Brother Xu Nian's understanding is also of the Power of Earth, but it seems to be just at the level of the Profound Arguntation Threshold. I wonder if Brother Xu Nian has a deeper understanding?" Emperor Xuanwu asked, smiling.
He had already comprehended the Earth Profound Arguntation to the Initial Peak.
If Xu Nian was rely at the threshold, then perhaps there was no need to continue the competition.
"Brother Xuan Feng need not hold back, just make your move. I haven't had enough yet," Xu Nian said with a laugh.
"Ha ha, alright, then I'll make my move. This is the Earth Fury that I've comprehended from the Profound Arguntation Formation. Brother Xu Nian, you'd better brace yourself," Emperor Xuanwu laughed heartily.
Then he stomped on the ground.
The floor underneath shattered.
The entire Xuanwu Palace shook violently.
Stones around levitated.
Stirring up the surrounding sea water, churning tumultuously.
A terrifying aura emanated from Emperor Xuanwu.
At that mont, he seed to carry the entire power of the earth, ultimately channeling it all into the giant sword in his hand.
"Buzz!"
Emperor Xuanwu unleashed a sword strike.
The entire sea was cleaved apart.
The mantle itself was torn asunder, furiously rushing towards Xu Nian.
