The Five Elents circled around him, radiating brilliant light. The Elental Qi of Lingyin Hall itself seed to cheer and leap for joy along with this small Five Elents Array.
Wu Fatian’s jaw dropped. Even as an Ancestral Master, he envied Wang ng’s talent, but he had never imagined that Wang ng actually possessed the legendary Five Elents Extinct Vein.
Most importantly, judging by the signs, he had broken through the fatal bottleneck of the Five Elents Extinct Vein, which was what triggered this celestial phenonon.
"We’ve struck it rich! We’ve really hit the jackpot this ti!" Thunderbolt murmured. This wasn’t a matter of comprehension anymore. Thunderlight Hall was about to rise, and the Holy Hall was about to rise!
Zhou Luodan imdiately summoned the solemn-faced Li Daoming. "Go and inform Senior Xiuwen."
"Yes, Ancestral Master."
Li Daoming replied in a deep voice. Before leaving, he couldn’t help but glance back at Wang ng on the Dueling Platform. The five-colored light was exceptionally dazzling.
The light abruptly contracted, returning to Wang ng’s body. Although Mingren maintained his smile, his expression had clearly grown much more serious.
Wang ng descended from the air, and Mingren landed softly as well.
"Brother Mingren, the warm-up is over. You should stop suppressing your power. Let’s finish this."
As Wang ng revealed his miraculous Five Elents Physique, the Sacrificial Battle reached its climax.
The human body contains the Five Elents, but the vast majority of people are dominant in one. A rare few possess two attributes; a physique like Hu Jing’s is already considered precious. Possessing three is extrely rare—the Sword Cultivation Ancestor Master, Li Xiuwen, was one such case.
The disciples rely thought it was so kind of miraculous Cultivation Technique of Wang ng’s. The Ancestral Masters, however, knew the true significance. The potential Wang ng held was exactly what the Holy Hall needed, a testant to the success of their efforts in unearthing talented disciples.
But a Five Elents Body... this was the first ti one had ever appeared. Whether it was real or just an illusion, Zhou Luodan and the other two Ancestral Masters couldn’t be sure. They would need Li Xiuwen’s confirmation after the battle.
Though Mingren didn’t know what kind of Array Technique Wang ng was using, and its power wasn’t the kind that could overwhelm him directly, it was... ’Perfect. There’s only one word for it: perfect.’
Wang ng had obviously recovered his Elental Power. Although Mingren didn’t know how he’d done it, he felt a burden lift from his shoulders. Now, he could have a truly proper fight.
With a gentle swing of the sword "Zang" in his hand, Mingren’s Elental Power began to surge. Even when it reached the equivalent of the twenty-fourth layer, it showed no signs of stopping.
The hearts of the Lingyin Hall disciples leaped into their throats. BOOM—
His Elental Power erupted, instantly overwhelming the impact from the phenonon that had surrounded Wang ng monts before.
The Twenty-Fifth Layer of the Life Mark!
Mingren of Lingyin Hall had achieved it.
This was the highest known Life Mark Level achieved among the Third Generation Disciples, a full five layers higher than Wang ng.
A difference of two or three layers wasn’t very obvious, but once the gap reached five layers, the difference in Elental Power beca imnse.
Mingren could feel the confidence and Control Power welling up from the depths of his being. The sword in his hand also began to hum. It had to be said, Mingren’s "Zang" was truly no ordinary item. Its appearance was unassuming, but it was a fine sword indeed.
He pointed his Long Sword, and a surging tide of Elental Power bore down on Wang ng. The Lingyin Hall disciples instantly erupted with excitent. Seeing Mingren reach the Twenty-Fifth Layer, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
This was an absolute gap in power.
Wang ng gripped Broken Heaven Edge, an indescribable impulse surging within him. ’Mingren’s unleashed Sword Power is having almost no effect on . This is the truly terrifying aspect of the Five Elents Technique.’
Broken Heaven Edge shot forward decisively. Mingren hadn’t expected his opponent to strike at such an inopportune mont. But he did not retreat. ’Whatever Secret Technique Wang ng used, it isn’t his true strength. Instantly recovering his Elental Power and stamina is nothing more than overdrawing on his reserves. My power, however, is real and sustainable.’
A sudden, explosive lunge.
Broken Heaven Edge and Zang clashed in the center of the Dueling Platform.
VMMMM—
Elental Power radiated outwards as ripples exploded, and the ground beneath them suddenly caved in.
The two were locked in Sword Fighting!
Mingren never imagined his five-layer advantage would be completely blocked. Even more terrifying, he could feel a relentless pressure coming from Wang ng’s broken sword, showing no hint of weakness or signs of flagging!
At this mont, Mingren refused to back down. Within his Sea of Fate, his Life Mark shone with intense light, and Elental Power poured out in a torrent.
From the day he was adopted by Li Daoming and entered the Holy Hall, Mingren’s cultivation had been ticulous. He diligently practiced even the most basic Nourishing Essence Technique, perfecting every Cultivation Technique he learned. He did not want to disappoint his master’s expectations. He was the symbol of Lingyin Hall.
’I will absolutely not lose!’
Mingren’s Elental Power suddenly intensified, his Sword Montum pressing down hard on Wang ng. The disciples of Lingyin Hall finally cast aside their reserved dignity and began to shout, cheering for their Senior.
This was sothing the normally reserved Lingyin Hall would have disdained to do in the past.
But in this mont, they had to cheer for Mingren.
A fierce light erupted in Wang ng’s eyes. With a deafening roar, he pushed back. The pressure generated by Mingren’s Elental Power could find no opening against the perfectly integrated principles of the Five Elents Technique.
And in a contest of raw power, the Elental Power of his Five Elents Technique, combined with Wang ng’s almost demonic dedication to practicing the Nourishing Essence Technique, was now on full display.
Broken Heaven Edge was overpowering Zang!
The blade’s edge gradually forced Mingren back. At this mont, Wang ng was as majestic as a Sword God, and Broken Heaven Edge radiated an air of finality.
Mingren’s surging Elental Power was actually unable to resist; he was being pushed back step by step. The Lingyin Hall disciples were stunned by this scene, their passionate cheers freezing in their throats. ’How could this be happening?’
But Mingren was Mingren, after all. He didn’t understand how Wang ng could overpower him in terms of Elental Power, but his left hand suddenly flicked out a gray Talisman.
The Gloomy Soul-Devouring Talisman!
It was a rather difficult and unorthodox Talisman to master, capable of instantly shattering an opponent’s will and inducing a mont of weakness.
At such close range, there was no possibility of dodging. This was the true essence of Talisman and Sword Dual Cultivation.
Instantly, Wang ng’s surging montum ca to a violent halt, like a speeding carriage crashing into a wall.
And at this mont, Mingren revealed his hard and domineering side for the first ti.
"Die!"
Zang pressed toward Wang ng with a final burst of energy. The explosive Elental Power that had built up where their blades crossed now blasted toward Wang ng—an attack fueled by the power of them both.
The effect of the Gloomy Soul-Devouring Talisman only lasted for an instant, but in that instant, Wang ng had to face the strength of two people.
In a battle between experts, unexpected changes can occur in the span of a single breath.
Who could have imagined that just as Wang ng was on the verge of victory, such a fatal crisis would occur?
At that mont, it seed Wang ng had no way to retreat as Broken Heaven Edge was pushed toward his own chest.
Since the start of the tournant, the most miraculous scene yet had just appeared.
The explosion never ca. Wang ng wasn’t sent flying. The combined Elental Power of the two seed to fall into a black hole and vanish without a trace. In that sa instant, Mingren’s face turned incredibly pale, as if all the blood had been drained from it.
Five Elents Sword Skill—Five Elents Deficiency!
All of the Elental Power beca a form of replenishnt, absorbed by Wang ng into his Sea of Fate. This was the combat application of the Five Elents Deficiency that he had comprehended during Alchemy, and it was also its most terrifying aspect.
Broken Heaven Edge swept toward the sky, its sword light illuminating the heavens.
The combined Elental Power of both fighters was blasted out by Broken Heaven Edge, carrying with it the montum to truly slice the sky in two. If that sword strike had been aid at Mingren, ten lives would not have been enough to block it.
At this point, Mingren was completely powerless to retaliate. The Five Elents Deficiency had caused his power to be misdirected, as if he had put all his strength into punching a pile of cotton. The resulting backlash had already caused him internal injuries.
Mingren looked up at the sky and sighed. "I... have lost."
Wang ng clasped his hands in a salute. "Brother Mingren, thank you for the match."
Other than his own people from Thunderlight Hall and a few friends he knew from the outside, Mingren was the one he admired most. But in a direct confrontation, there could only be one victor.
One of the female disciples from Lingyin Hall was the first to cry out. No one had predicted the beginning of this fight, much less its end.
Lingyin Hall had actually lost the Sacrificial Battle.
