Chapter 183: Challenge

his step is so close, yet feels like an insurmountable chasm. He has been stuck at this point for most of his life, unable to cross it."Master, someone outside requests an audience," said a servant as..."It's the Blood-cloaked Marquis!"

"The Blood-Clad Marquis, who ranks 67th on the Eastern Desolation Venerable List"

"He actually came"

Countless gazes converged on the young man in blood-red robes who had arrived.

This young man in red attire looked youthful, yet he had already achieved renown. Being ranked 67th on the Eastern Desolate Venerable List was a testament to his strength.

This time, the competition for the Nine-Turn Sacred Lotus attracted only powerful figures from the Lei Xin Domain and surrounding territories who had a great need for the Sacred Lotus and its seeds. Although many people came, only two were truly at the top, ranking on the Eastern Desolation Venerable List: Venerable Shan Yi and Venerable San Axe.

Whether it's Master Shan Yi or Master San Fu, they both rank after the top 100 on the Eastern Desolation Venerable List.

But this Bloodrobe Marquis was ranked 67th, clearly his strength was much greater than that of the Three-Axe Venerable and the First Good Venerable.

"The Blood-Robed Marquis, the Venerable Shan Yi, stepped forward and greeted them." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Shan Yi, you old geezer, you're still alive" Blood-Cloaked Marquis glanced at Shan Yi with obvious displeasure.

This isn't because he had any grudge against Master Chan Yi. He just couldn't stand how Master Chan Yi put on such a seemingly kind and gentle faade.

"The Venerable Shan Yi did not get angry, but smiled instead. 'Blood-clothed Marquis, aren't you also here for the Sacred Lotus seed That lotus seed shouldn't be of much use to you, should it'"

Master Shan Yi knew that although the Blood-Clad Marquis possessed immense strength, he had not cultivated any fleshly body techniques. Therefore, he should not have much desire for the Holy Lotus Seed.

"But I'm only doing this as a favor. Blood-cloaked Marquis said, "Rest assured, I only need one lotus seed."

Upon hearing this, both Master Shan Yi and the many powerful figures gathered around breathed a sigh of relief.

The nine lotus seeds of the Nine Turns Sacred Lotus, there were a total of nine. Even if Blood-clothed Marquis took one, there were still eight left, enough for them to fight over.

They were worried that once this Blood-cloaked Marquis arrived, he would directly seize six or seven lotus seeds with his vast resources, and even take all the lotus seeds for himself. Then they would only be left to cry.

After all, anything that falls into the hands of the Blood-Robed Marquis is beyond the reach of those present here.

"Just a single lotus seed, I believe, wouldn't have anyone vying for it with the Blood Robe Marquis," the benevolent one chuckled.

The Blood-Robed Marquis ignored the well-meaning Elder Shan Yi and instead greeted the Three Axes Venerable beside him. “Venerable Three Axes of Jiusheng Mountain, is that you I wonder how Daoist Nine Dreams is doing lately”

"The Ninth Dream Daoist has been traveling the outside world these years and rarely returns to Jiusheng Mountain. If the Blood-Robed Marquis wants to reminisce, wait for him to return next time, and I'll tell him," said the Three Axes Venerable.

"No, I don't want to meet that monster again. Last time I fought him, he beat me up really badly," Blood Robe Marquis said.

After some pleasantries, the shore of Jingyue Lake once again fell silent.

At night, the stars shine brightly.

Xia Xianzi and the Three Axes Venerable sat together.

"Senior Brother, is that Bloodclothed Marquis really that powerful Even you seem so wary of him" Xia Xianzi couldn't help but ask.

Of course, the Venerable Three Axes said, "The Eastern Desolation Venerables List, the higher the ranking, the more terrifying the strength. I am only ranked 110th on the Eastern Desolation Venerables List, while this Blood Robe Marquis is ranked 67th, nearly fifty places ahead of me. His strength naturally surpasses mine by far."

"One-on-one, I'm definitely no match for him. Even if I teamed up with the Venerable Shan Yi, I doubt we could stand against him. In our Jiusheng Mountain, only the Daoist Jiumeng could possibly hold him back."

"So impressive" Xia Xianzi was astonished.

"He is powerful, but he clearly came for Lianzi. He won't pose a threat to us. Don't worry, younger sister," the San-fu Venerable said.

"Well, Xia Xianzi nodded.

At this moment...

"Someone challenged Zen Master Yī!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out, and the entire area around Jingyue Lake was in an uproar.

"Challenge"

"Challenge Venerable Shan Yi"

Let's go, hurry and take a look.

Many powerful beings were alarmed and rushed over.

"Challenge the top experts on the Eastern Wilderness Venerable List" Su Xin's heart moved, and he immediately walked over.

On a vast, open plain, stood the Venerable Shani. Before him stood a towering man, as massive as a small mountain, wielding a long staff in his hand.

This burly man was still full of menace.

"He is the Bear King!"

"No wonder he dared to challenge Master Shanyi, it's him!"

All the powerful figures gathered around, upon seeing the challenger, finally felt relieved.

This Bear King, even within the Lei Xin Domain, was a renowned and immensely powerful Six-Step Venerable. Many had previously believed that his strength should have qualified him to be on the Eastern Waste Venerables List; he simply lacked convincing battle achievements.

And the East Waste Venerable List only has one hundred and fifty strong players. There are only a few in the Lei Xin Domain. It's difficult for him to meet even one on weekdays. Now that the nine-turn Sacred Lotus has been born, several strong players from the East Waste Venerable List have come, so he naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.

In the open space, the two went straight into action.

At the moment of the head-on collision... buzz! buzz!

Two intangible realms burst forth simultaneously.

"The realm of artistic conception" Su Xin raised an eyebrow.

In the Eastern Wasteland, ordinary Six-Step Venerables only achieved a complete understanding of Sword Intent in their cultivation and then created unique techniques based on it. However, some of the most outstanding Six-Step Venerables possessed a complete mastery of the entire realm of intent.

Like the top one hundred and fifty masters on the Eastern Desolation Venerable List, almost everyone has mastered a complete realm of understanding. This bear king dared to challenge Venerable Shanyi, so naturally, he also mastered a realm.

Two realms of energy clashed with furious intensity, and the two figures at the center were locked in a brutal face-off.

As soon as they met, they both directly unleashed their ultimate techniques.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Crash after crash, the violent sounds reverberated as the two clashed. With each impact, a terrifying aura swept across the scene, growing increasingly frenzied.

All the powerful figures who had originally gathered around had retreated to a safe distance at the first moment, fearing that they would be caught in the crossfire of this battle between two mighty warriors.

After dozens of clashes, the two stopped again.

"To be able to fight the old man for so long without falling behind, you are indeed worthy of being called King Bear. "

The old man smiled and looked at the fierce King Bear in front of him.

"Shan Yi, your ability shouldn't be just that much, right" Xiong Wang's eyes were cold and fierce.

Okay, now the old man will unleash his full power!

When Master Chan Yi finished speaking, his figure shook involuntarily. Two golden lights flashed in his eyes immediately, obviously having cast some incredibly powerful secret technique.

As Master Shan Yi took a step forward, his speed didn't change in the slightest. However, the power behind his unleashed technique surged instantly, increasing nearly tenfold.

What

The Bear King raised his head in astonishment, gazing at the ferocious onslaught before him. He frantically swung his long staff, unleashing all his learned techniques to defend himself, but the result...

Bang!

With a deafening roar, King Bear was slammed into the ground with tremendous force. The impact instantly created an enormous crater. The terrifying power behind Shani's strike continued to reverberate through the space, wildly sweeping outwards.

After a long time, the bear king finally struggled out of the pit. But at this moment, his face was obviously pale, and his aura had weakened considerably.

"The top experts on the Eastern Desolation Venerable List are indeed formidable. This battle, I admit defeat wholeheartedly," Xiong Wang said.

"Haha, yielding to you, Master Shan Yi let out a chuckle."

It was just a normal challenge, the two of them stopped at the right point and there wasn't too much fighting.

That's impressive!

This venerable one, is too strong.

All the onlookers watching from around were astonished.

"Just now, the magical technique that Venerable Shan Yi used to instantly increase his power should be a Power Amplification Technique. It's similar in nature to my Nebula Hand, just stronger. Su Xin was also secretly pondering."

Xingyun Shou, as one of the three major inheritance secret arts of Jiusheng Mountain, is incredibly powerful. However, Su Xin has only cultivated it to the first turn now, which only allows his own strength and power to increase fivefold. If he could cultivate it to the second turn, then it should be no worse than the secret art displayed by this Venerable Shan Yi.

“That Bear King was able to grasp the complete realm of artistic conception. In terms of strength, he was even stronger than the Blood Blade King who had once pursued me. His ultimate skill was also extremely powerful. However, he could only match the First Venerable at the beginning. Once the First Venerable used his full strength to display that secret technique, he was instantly defeated...”

"As expected of someone on the Eastern Desolation Honored List, you're truly formidable."

However, with this kind of strength, it's not impossible for me to defeat him.

Su Xin chuckled, but her heart was full of confidence.

Venerable Shan Yi returned stronger than ever, but after three years of arduous cultivation, his cultivation level soared from the peak of the second step to the peak of the third step. Once he used his bloodline power and went all out, his strength could surpass that of a sixth-step Venerable.

While his sword intent was not yet complete, and the domain he formed was incomplete, the nascent form of his sword heart was too monstrous. It augmented his swordsmanship to such a degree that when he used his sword intent domain, it was no worse than those formed by completely realized realms.

Prior to his training within the Kendo Reincarnation Space, during the final year of his experience, he was already capable of directly confronting powerful kendo masters who had fully grasped the sword intent realm. He held his own without falling behind in the slightest, and even victory or defeat remained uncertain.

As for other secret arts, techniques, and trump cards, he is even stronger than this benevolent one.

If things were to come to blows, Su Xin would naturally be confident.

Just as Su Xin was pondering...

"Shan Yi"

But the young man in blood-red attire arrived at the battlefield just then. He glanced at Elder善一 with interest and said, "You old geezer, you're quite imposing indeed. Come on, I happen to be feeling a bit itchy for a fight too. Why don't we have a battle"

"The Blood-cloaked Marquis laughed, 'Your strength surpasses mine by far. This old man wouldn't dare to humiliate himself by challenging such a venerable one.'"

"You're such a coward! I wouldn't kill you anyway," said the Blood-Cloaked Marquis, sounding a bit displeased but not pushing it.

He was naturally combative, always actively seeking out opponents to spar with during his upbringing. However, ever since he reached the peak of Nirvana Venerable and ascended to the Eastern Wasteland Venerables List, finding a worthy adversary has become incredibly difficult.

So far, in this quiet moon lake area, he hasn't seen a single opponent that satisfied him.

Just then… whoosh!!

A dazzling red light suddenly burst from the depths of Jingyue Lake, illuminating the entire night sky in a fiery crimson.

Many powerful figures surrounding Lake Jingyue, upon seeing this scene, immediately became excited.

……e.This move is not very useful against opponents of the same level, but it is an excellent tool for slaughtering the weak.And the conditions for using this move are extremely harsh. One must possess p...
