Seven days passed quickly. Qingmo City was already teeming with people, a gathering of the strong and powerful.
Today, the sun shone brightly in a cloudless sky, and the view stretched for miles, providing the perfect weather for observing the battle. Last night, many had not slept at all, eagerly awaiting daylight. Their anticipation had beco almost unbearable.
"Today is the day of the duel! I hope they arrive soon. I can hardly wait to see the battle unfold."
"Tell about it! I rushed here five days ago just to witness this fight firsthand. Who knows who will win or lose in the end!"
"Isn't it obvious? It has to be Su Han. He's a prodigy on the Prodigy Rankings; his strength is beyond doubt."
"That's not a given. Su Tian obtained the Supre Physical Body—the Dragon Phoenix Sacred Body, no less. They say he's also reached the Sixth Layer of the Physique Realm, while Su Han is only at the First Layer. I think Su Tian's chances of winning are much greater."
One after another, martial artists discussed the impending battle, with the most popular topic being who would erge victorious.
Although Su Han's innate talent was high and his reputation formidable, Su Tian had received the full support of the entire Heavenly Demon Cult, making his strength incredibly fearso. Moreover, the Heavenly Demon Cult had suffered a great loss before, making this a battle for revenge. Naturally, they would place even greater importance on it.
Although the two combatants had not yet arrived, the atmosphere inside Qingmo City was already electric.
The Great Qian King and Wang Tianqing were also among the crowd. One was a traitor to the Seven Stars Sect, and the other did not wish to reveal his presence, so both remained hidden among the people, not revealing their identities. However, quite a few Heavenly King Realm experts were present today, so despite their considerable strength, they did not attract much attention.
"They're here! The Heavenly Demon Cult has arrived!"
A cry of alarm suddenly rang out. From the direction of Mozhou, dark clouds rolled in, blanketing the sky and sweeping over until they obscured half the heavens. A heavy sense of oppression made everyone feel as though their breath had been stolen.
Dark clouds lood over the city, threatening to crush it.
Within the black clouds were three figures. The leader was naturally the Earth Fiend Demon Sovereign, flanked by Qin Wushuang and Su Tian. As for Leng Rufeng and the other elders, they remained in the poisonous miasma swamp. Once bitten, twice shy, they didn't want a repeat of the tragedy of having their ho base attacked.
"Is that Su Tian?"
Many recognized the Earth Fiend Demon Sovereign and Qin Wushuang, but this was Su Tian's first public appearance, and he imdiately drew the gaze of countless onlookers.
Although he was using the Supre Corpse, Su Tian, with the help of the Earth Fiend Demon Sovereign and others, had absorbed its essence and integrated it into his own body, making it his own. The face he now showed was his original one. He was tall and imposing, majestic as a deity, with an extraordinary bearing that clearly marked him as exceptional among n.
Today, Su Tian was dressed in a black robe embroidered with five venomous creatures that radiated a dark glow, looking as if they might spring to life at any mont. In addition to the robe, his boots, the sash at his waist, and the jade crown on his head were all part of a matching set called the Five Venoms Set, an imnsely valuable Superior Grade Dao Artifact.
To slay Su Han, the Heavenly Demon Cult had truly spared no expense, providing Su Tian with the best equipnt and treatnt. If he still couldn't win after all this, the Earth Fiend Demon Sovereign would truly go mad.
It feels wonderful to have control over a body again!
Su Tian stood in the void, looking down upon Qingmo City below. This sensation of being high above all, of wielding imnse power, utterly fascinated him. He had not experienced this feeling for a very long ti, and it was all Su Han's fault. For that reason, he had to personally cut Su Han down today and avenge his blood feud.
You little bastard! I was careless last ti, and your sneak attack almost cost my life. But this ti, I won't give you a single chance. Co on! I'm going to end your life with my own hands and repay the suffering I've endured these past days a thousandfold!
Su Tian gritted his teeth, the hatred in his heart burning like a volcano on the verge of eruption. He was just waiting for the battle to begin so he could incinerate Su Han with his fury.
Su Tian was filled with confidence that he would win this battle. He was no longer the person he used to be. Now, he was not only a martial artist at the Sixth Layer of the Physique Realm but had also regained the Dragon Phoenix Sacred Body. Furthermore, he was ard with nurous Dao Artifacts, treasures, and the "Ferocious Fiend Three Blades" personally taught to him by the Earth Fiend Demon Sovereign. He was confident he could slay Su Han with ease.
You little bastard, hurry up and get here! I can't wait to torture and kill you!
Su Tian looked up, gazing toward the Seven Stars Sect. The rage and bloodlust swirling inside him were becoming almost impossible to contain.
CRACK!
A flash of Thunder Light suddenly exploded across the sky. The deafening roar shook heaven and earth, instantly drawing everyone's attention.
They knew. The Seven Stars Sect had arrived. The great battle was about to begin.
The Thunder Light was swift. One mont it was in the distant sky, and the next it had appeared above Qingmo City. Streaks of lightning crisscrossed, occupying the other half of the sky in a standoff against the dark clouds.
Within the lightning, three figures also erged: Lei Ming, Ye Chuanfeng, and Su Han!
As Su Han's master, Lei Ming naturally had to be present. Ye Chuanfeng had co along specifically out of fear that sothing might truly happen to Su Han.
"That's the new Sect Master of the Seven Stars Sect, Ye Chuanfeng. I heard he managed to latch onto the Tian Luo Saint and has now regained control of the sect."
The gazes of many powerful experts imdiately fell upon Ye Chuanfeng. After all, he was far stronger and more important than Su Han. But for the ordinary martial artists, their focus remained squarely on Su Han.
"Is that Su Han? It's my first ti seeing him. He looks rather ordinary, nothing special. You really can't judge a book by its cover."
"First Layer of the Physique Realm? This is bad! Su Tian is at the Sixth Layer of the Physique Realm—that's a gap of five entire layers! How is this fight even possible? On top of that, Su Tian has the Supre Physical Body. It looks like Su Han is dood to lose!"
"Yeah, has the Seven Stars Sect gone mad? Why didn't they give Su Han more ti to grow? Agreeing to let him participate in this duel… aren't they just sending him to his death?"
Seeing Su Han's realm, the entire crowd was in an uproar. Many people's attitudes shifted, and they no longer favored Su Han. The gap in their cultivation was simply too vast; his chances of winning were extrely low.
Su Han heard the crowd's clamor but paid it no mind. He simply raised his head slightly, his gaze fixed on Su Tian and Qin Wushuang not far away.
His heart began to ache as if pierced by a needle that could not be removed.
Su Tian's very existence is my greatest Heart Demon. I must kill him, pull out this thorn in my heart, and annihilate this Heart Demon. Today, one of us must die!
Su Han's and Su Tian's gazes collided invisibly in mid-air, instantly igniting the flas of war and making the atmosphere crackle with tension.
"A life-and-death duel is finally about to begin! Two prodigies from the sa clan, yet one is fated to live and the other to die. This is going to be exciting!" soone exclaid, their eyes burning with fervor as their heart pounded in their chest.
Just then, a cold and arrogant voice descended from the heavens:
"What 'two prodigies'? It's nothing more than two novices pecking at each other!"
