“Alright, since Chu Tian has already accepted the challenge, we’ll have the other eight participants leave the stage.” Elder Tao Tie waved an arm
“The first round of competition for the Saint Elect Tournament Final will now begin.”
Above the Desolate Mountain’s arena, the Saints roared with excitement. Even some of the elders were filled with excitement.
One was a newcomer dark horse and the disciple of the Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber while the other was the leader of the First Heaven Society’s four main generals, the strongest among them; Chu Tian.
This competition was between the best of the best. Ye Mo having the courage to challenge Chu Tian meant that he had to have some tricks up his sleeves. Perhaps the result of this round would affect the results of the whole tournament. Whoever won this would determine the result of the final competition.
Ye Mo wasn’t one to follow the rules.
Ye Mo had wanted to challenge Liu Qingyun. But, realizing that he would have to fight Chu Tian sooner or later, he decided he might as well challenge him directly. If he was going to lose, he would lose either way. But if he won, he’d be able to send a statement to the rest of the generals.
“Ye Mo, I didn’t expect you to challenge me directly,” Chu Tian said arrogantly. “Today, I’ll finally see what you’re made of.”
Ye Mo slowly walked to the stage, feeling Chu Tian’s aura. He smiled as well. “I don’t think you’ll recognize what I’m made of. There’s no limit to my power – no one will be able to tell exactly how powerful I am.”
After speaking, Ye Mo went on the offensive. Grabbing with all five fingers and gathering a ball of True Energy, he moved to Chu Tian’s side and slapped against his brain.
His speed shocked everyone. Ye Mo’s attack used the Immortal Zhu Deity Punch, morphing it into a clap. Against normal Transcendence Realm fighters, it would completely paralyze his opponent.
Based on Ye Mo’s strength, perhaps even fighters in the Eighth Tier of the Transcendence Realm would find it difficult to escape an attack like that.
But Chu Tian just smiled slightly and shifted his body, somehow bypassing Ye Mo’s clap attack entirely. In a flash, his arm, like the trunk of an elephant, struck out at Ye Mo’s limb.
Dang!
Like a giant bell being rung, a devastating sound echoed above Ye Mo’s arm. As the sound waves spread, plenty of Ninth Tier Saints frowned and muttered to each other.
This clash of attacks was extremely wild.
An attack like that could destroy a gigantic mountain.
But Chu Tian’s attack came to no effect. Even Chu Tian didn’t expect Ye Mo’s defense to be so strong. With Chu Tian startled, Ye Mo took the chance and reached out with his hand, once again targeting his opponent’s arm.
But Chu Tian’s arm slipped out of the way in time again. Striking through the air, seemingly threatening to split the skies into half, his arm bore down on Ye Mo’s head. Ye Mo placed both hands on his head, blocking his opponent’s attack.
Boom!
Ye Mo took several steps back. Chu Tian’s Hand Blade attack had numbed his whole body. Had it not been for his Third Tier Transcendence Realm training and further cultivation of his body, there was no way that he’d be able to block that attack.
What shocked Ye Mo was that, within Chu Tian’s strength, was this extreme level of authority that exhibited a frightening amount of strength.
“Looks like Chu Tian didn’t become the leader of the four main generals for nothing.”
Ye Mo was rather shaken. While neither of them had displayed their Transcendence Golden Bodies yet, after that bout, the difference in strength had already been well established.
Furthermore, the technique that his opponent had mastered was unlike normal martial techniques. The power of his True Energy had completely exceeded that of anyone that Ye Mo had met. And it wasn’t just about his strength alone – his whole body contained an explosive force.
Since his opponent hadn’t displayed his Transcendence Golden Body yet, Ye Mo was in no rush to display his.
Even though Xiao Yue had already told him about all of Chu Tian’s golden body and techniques that she knew of, it was ultimately still up to Ye Mo to determine his opponent’s true strength. He dared not reveal his trump card prematurely.
Attacking and moving in flashes at the same time, Ye Mo’s body floated in the air. Chu Tian once again unleashing his explosive Hand Blade, which struck like a battle-ax that attacked unpredictably. As the attack launched once again, the whole arena was filled with the shadows of the Hand Blade.
A spiral of air exploded, sending a gust of wind in all directions that turned into wind blades that danced around, filling the sky. Had it not been for the specialized material of the arena, the whole building would’ve been destroyed.
Surprise could be seen in the faces of even some of the Ninth Tier Saints as they quickly retreated. The waves caused by their attacks had already exceeded the perimeters of the battle stage.
Suddenly, the Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber performed a dance, forming a huge air cover over the attacks, ensuring that they wouldn’t bleed out of the stage.
Chu Tian’s Hand Blade attacks moved forcefully, even exceeding the normal techniques of fist, palm, and finger.
Ye Mo was secretly worried. If this went on, he was going to lose. Every time he held onto Chu Tian’s attack, an explosive force was sent into his body. If he tried to outlast him, Ye Mo was definitely at a disadvantage.
As for Chu Tian, he was extremely surprised as well. Initially, he’d thought that him displaying his ultimate attack – the Arm Blade Technique – would ensure Ye Mo’s defeat. Little did he expect Ye Mo to be able to withstand his attacks.
The exchange between them was extremely ferocious, like a battle between a dragon and a lion, leaving everyone on the edge of their seats.
Li Huo and Nian Bing, who both understood Chu Tian’s true strength, were shocked as well. They didn’t expect Ye Mo to be able to endure a fight with Chu Tian for this long.
“Ye Mo, I didn’t expect you to be so strong. Looks like you did rely on your own strength to defeat Chen Fan. But it’s time to end things once and for all.” There was a hint of wild passion in Chu Tian’s voice. “Anyone obstructing my training journey is nothing more than a roadblock to be crushed. The same applies to you.”
Boom!
A wave of power exploded as a countless amount of Transcendence Aura was unleashed from Chu Tian’s Energy Center, generating a Sky Killing Sword thirty-eight meters tall. All of a sudden, the sword swung out quickly. His Sky Killing Sword started to tremble. “All I’ve done up to now was use my Hand Blade attack. Now, I’m using my Transcendence – the Sky Killing Sword. Let’s see how you block this.”
His whole body floated in the air weirdly as his body fused with the Sky Killing Sword. To the surprise of many in the audience, a frightening amount of aura was released from Chu Tian’s body. His whole body achieved the Human-Sword Unity, both his Heart and his physical body. Facing Ye Mo and displaying his wild attacks, each technique and each style could easily destroy an elite fighter in the Ninth Tier of the Transcendence Realm.
Every time the gigantic Sky Killing Sword struck, its attacking force engulfed every corner of the battle arena. No matter how Ye Mo tried to dodge it, he wouldn’t be able to block the Sky Killing Sword attack.
Die!
Pointing toward Ye Mo’s body, the sword swung down viciously.
“Good, you’ve finally unleashed your Transcendence Golden Body. I’ll let you witness what my own golden body is made of!”
Looking on at the layers of attack coming towards him, Ye Mo had no intention of escaping. Awakening his heart, his whole body was enshrouded by a layer of golden radiance. The four gigantic ape monkeys appeared from thin air, each standing thirty-two meters tall. In an instant, the monkeys swung the bats in their hands and charged wildly at Chu Tian’s oncoming attack.
