Capítulo 1249: Chapter 1268: Semifinal Battle
All sounds ceased, Heaven and Earth were silent.
Ye Xuan sat cross-legged in the void, the Heavenly Burial Technique roiling within him like a raging torrent. Wisps of gray light swirled incessantly around him, and an indescribable, terrifying fluctuation was faintly emanating from within.
After swallowing Li Zhiwei’s Blood Soul Essence, Ye Xuan’s Heavenly Burial Technique had evidently grown sowhat, albeit not significantly. Nevertheless, this was an excellent sign for Ye Xuan.
Hoo!
A stream of turbid air spewed from Ye Xuan’s mouth, causing the void to montarily shatter and then recombine. It was at this mont that Ye Xuan slowly opened his eyes.
“Li Zhiwei’s cultivation was indeed suprely rich, unfortunately, the ti given to was too short.” Ye Xuan murmured to himself.
Devouring Li Zhiwei’s entire cultivation and extracting the purest power for his own absorption not only purified the Heavenly Burial Technique but also transford Ye Xuan’s cultivation dramatically, with the power inside him surging endlessly like a vast river.
However, Ye Xuan still had not truly stepped into the Creation Realm!
It wasn’t that Ye Xuan couldn’t enter the Creation Realm, but rather he had suppressed his own cultivation at the peak of the Nine Heavens Saint King, preventing himself from stepping into it.
As is well-known, if one steps into the Creation Realm, the Creation God Tribulation will be drawn. This Creation God Tribulation, terrifying and on par with the Chaos Saint Tribulation, is extrely dangerous—much more perilous than the Chaos Saint Tribulation.
If Ye Xuan were to step into the Creation Realm, the Creation God Tribulation would descend. If Ye Xuan wasn’t mistaken, his Creation God Tribulation would be anything but simple, and terrifying to the extre.
In the past, he had faced the Mutated Chaos Saint Tribulation, and Ye Xuan was quite certain that his Creation God Tribulation would mutate as well, but he simply did not have the ti to cross the tribulation at the mont.
Therefore, Ye Xuan chose to suppress his own cultivation at the peak of the Nine Heavens Saint King, avoiding the arrival of the Creation God Tribulation, because now was not the ti for him to undergo his tribulation; only when the ti was right would he induce his Creation God Tribulation.
Although he had not entered the Creation Realm, devouring Li Zhiwei’s entire cultivation caused the power within Ye Xuan to rise qualitatively, incomparable to before, which was a comforting thought for Ye Xuan.
The most crucial point was that Ye Xuan suppressing his own cultivation also had his own intention, with a subtle plan brewing in his heart. Perhaps this Creation God Tribulation could lend him a hand at the most critical mont.
As to what Ye Xuan was thinking, only he himself knew.
“Alas!”
As Ye Xuan’s thoughts returned, he looked indifferently at the bloodstain on the ground, feeling a complex emotion within about Li Zhiwei’s death.
It wasn’t that Ye Xuan pitied Li Zhiwei, but it was seeing Li Zhiwei’s death that allowed Ye Xuan to truly recognize the cruelty of this world.
Li Zhiwei could be considered a prodigy, or he wouldn’t have beco the second Spiritual Child of the Spirits Heavenly Palace, but in the end, he still fell under the feet of the Earth Demon Luo, becoming a stepping stone for others.
Ye Xuan understood very well that the path to greatness is steep and difficult, and only by stepping over others’ corpses could one ascend beyond the Chaotic Nine Heavens and beco the supre ruler of the Chaotic Universe.
Li Zhiwei sounded an alarm for Ye Xuan that regardless of whether one is a peerless prodigy or an eternal genius, if one cannot sweep across all formidable enemies, they will ultimately beco corpses under others’ feet.
This path is perilous with no retreat, for one step back leads to an abyss, where one’s demise would be without a burial place.
“Li Zhiwei, go in peace. I will keep the promise I made to you. If you have a next life, just live as an ordinary person, and do not get embroiled in the strife of Heaven and Earth.” Ye Xuan sighed profoundly and walked away from Li Zhiwei’s dwelling.
…
“Li Zhiwei has transford into Heaven and Earth.”
In the Qingmu Pavilion, Ye Xuan said these words calmly. Master Yuantian and the others were montarily startled, but in the next mont, their expressions returned to calm, with no trace of emotion on anyone’s face.
Li Zhiwei’s death did not evoke sympathy from anyone, as if an insignificant ant had perished—he was just a wastrel, and his death or survival did not matter.
“The world is destroyed, with no way forward; perhaps death was a release for him.” Zi Ling sighed softly.
“Just a useless person, his death to atone for his sins made it easy for him.” Yuan Tian spoke with contempt.
“It’s good that he died; otherwise, upon returning to the Spirits Heavenly Palace, he would surely have to visit the Skydo Institute, now saving him from this ordeal.” Master Yuantian comnted blandly.
“Xiao Jiu, now that only you among the four Spiritual Children have advanced, do you have any confidence in the Four Strong Tournant a thousand years from now?” Master Yuantian’s voice shifted, looking at Ye Xuan with so anticipation.
“I will do my best.” Ye Xuan replied calmly.
“I observe that the techniques of the Jiqing Heavenly Palace seem ineffective for you. If your next opponent is Ji Changliu, and you can defeat him, upon returning to the Spirits Heavenly Palace, you may replace Li Zhiwei as the second Spiritual Child.” Master Yuantian advised earnestly.
“Little brother, it’s all up to you this ti.” Zi Ling also cheered for Ye Xuan.
Looking at the expectant eyes of Master Yuantian and the others, Ye Xuan nodded faintly, though no one knew what he was truly thinking inside.
…
The seas change, ti flows, and ti is the most ruthless entity; it can smooth over all scars and make people forget many past events.
Therefore, so say ti is the best dicine; it can heal all the world’s pain and lull one’s heart into total silence.
A thousand years flew by in the blink of an eye.
When Ye Xuan erged from his place of secluded cultivation, his aura was subtly different, though no one could pinpoint exactly what had changed.
It was also on this day that the Four Strong Tournant truly began.
Dong—dong—dong!
The thundering of drums resounded, waves of cheers swept through; participants from various sects filled the venue, marking the restart of the Heavenly Pride Tournant, with today’s Four Strong Tournant set to be exceptionally spectacular.
“Please, four contestants, co forward for the drawing of lots.”
As the voice of the Qingmu Pavilion Master sounded, the four contenders stepped onto the stage to determine their next opponent.
At this mont.
Master Yuantian and the others were sowhat nervous, hoping Ye Xuan could draw Ji Changliu, which might leave a slim chance of victory. If faced with Liu Baiyi or Earth Demon Luo, Ye Xuan would likely face certain defeat.
The adage rings true: What you fear most, you often encounter. When Ye Xuan unfolded the slip of paper in his hand, it read none other than Earth Demon Luo from the Swallowing Heaven Demon Hall.
“Heh heh.”
Suddenly, a light laugh echoed.
“Heaven really favors , my next opponent is you.” Earth Demon Luo said, standing with hands behind his back, looking directly at Ye Xuan.
However, Ye Xuan gave no response, treating Earth Demon Luo as if he were air, causing Earth Demon Luo’s expression to cool, and a cruel smile to form on his lips.
“First battle, Yao Yueye of the Spirits Heavenly Palace versus Earth Demon Luo of the Swallowing Heaven Demon Hall.”
As the Qingmu Pavilion Master announced the first battle, Liu Baiyi and Ji Changliu left the stage, leaving only Ye Xuan and Earth Demon Luo on the platform.
