While intercepting the two elders, Gu Lan also took the opportunity to defeat the severely injured Fierce Beast, becoming the first to claim points from a Fierce Beast. Typically, being the first to achieve such a feat would attract attention.
However, given that everyone was already focused on the fierce battle between Gu Lan and the two elders from the seven great Houses, no one paid much attention to the points from the Fierce Beast at this mont.
"Since you've made your move, there's no need for you to leave just yet," Gu Lan said, summoning a sword into his hand.
As Gu Lan's voice fell, a sword materialized in his hand. This sword wasn't the legendary Hongng Sword but rather an ordinary long sword ford from his true energy. Yet, despite its simplicity, it emanated an overwhelming sword intent that was impossible to ignore.
The sword intent radiated outward, stirring the flying swords of all the cultivators present. Not only those within the confines of the ancient battlefield felt its influence, but even the cultivators outside the battlefield found their swords resonating with a soft chi.
At that mont, the ancient swords and remnants buried deep within the ground of the battlefield began to awaken, emitting a renewed glow. Their blades trembled as they joined in a chorus of sword cries, filling the air with a harmonious symphony of clashing steel.
"Without even having a Sword Domain, how can he create such widespread sword sounds? What kind of prodigy is this?" The Fire Clan elder's expression grew darker, and he summoned a bronze bell artifact, wary of Gu Lan's imminent attack.
The Thunder Clan elder also prepared to act. Holding a thunder spear, he chose to directly attack Gu Lan. "He's gathering power for that strike, and the Sword Domain is also contained within that sword. We must break his montum before he unleashes that strike!"
The Thunder Clan elder sent a secret ssage to the Fire Clan elder. At that mont, his spear erupted with terrifying lightning, a furious stream of thunderbolts racing toward Gu Lan at breakneck speed.
The lightning was caught within the halo of the ti-space domain, becoming montarily suspended, but it had already consud so of the ti-space domain's halo. Even the might of ti and space had its limits, and the power of the domain depended on the strength of its wielder.
Surrounded by swirling arcs of lightning, the Thunder Clan elder resembled a thunder god descending upon the mortal realm. He charged into Gu Lan's ti-space domain with an unmatched ferocity. Despite the slowing effect of the domain, he remained incredibly fast.
In an instant, he was upon Gu Lan, his dazzling lightning spear aid directly at Gu Lan's forehead. If Gu Lan did not defend himself, the Thunder Clan elder was confident that even with Gu Lan's restored divine realm cultivation, he would be severely injured by this strike.
This was no ordinary attack; it cost him half of his cultivation energy. He believed that if he were to unleash this strike at full strength with his divine realm power, no one present could withstand it. Even with Gu Lan's mastery of the ti-space realm power, he was sure that the might of thunder, being a celestial force of destruction, would triumph over ti and space!
"Good spear technique!"
Faced with this strike, Gu Lan couldn't help but admire the Thunder Clan elder's power. The might of this spear was nearly at the pinnacle of the Imperial realm, a level even so divine realm cultivators might struggle to withstand intact. Yet Gu Lan was no ordinary individual.
He understood the art of spear play just as well!
At this mont, he could have summoned Zilong to teach the Thunder Clan elder a lesson. However, Zilong belonged to the divine realm and could not appear in the ancient battlefield. But that didn't an Gu Lan was without counterasures. The sword in his hand was indeed gathering power, but who said he had to wait until it was fully charged?
As the lightning spear surged towards him, Gu Lan moved with the flow, drawing upon the montum of the attack. He sliced through the air with his sword, the blade eting the spear in a flash of brilliance.
In that instant, the thunder erupted violently, and sword energy surged outward in a breathtaking display!
Both Gu Lan and the Thunder Clan elder found themselves enveloped by the fierce clash of these two formidable forces.
Gu Lan remained calm, while the Thunder Clan elder was filled with disbelief, as if saying, "How dare you!"
Not only that, but the attack from the Fire Clan elder also joined the fray. A terrifying fla blade, imbued with the power to annihilate all, cleaved through the storm of sword energy, targeting Gu Lan while inadvertently striking the Thunder Clan elder as well.
The old fox was not just cunning; his thods were also exceedingly ruthless. When it ca to betrayal, he wouldn't hesitate to abandon allies, even in a supposed alliance.
The Thunder Clan elder felt a surge of rage but had no choice but to activate his defensive divine arts at that mont. Yet, even with a defense in place, it was nearly impossible to withstand an attack capable of injuring those in the divine realm without resorting to his full power.
As a result, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and amidst the explosive clash of three formidable forces, he was violently thrown into the air, propelled out of the ancient battlefield.
Eliminated! The Thunder Clan elder was the first to be knocked out of the competition!
Everyone present stared in bewildernt. The Thunder Clan elder had been among the highest-ranking cultivators in the group of divine realm elders, with strength that required little elaboration. Yet, no one had anticipated that he would be the first to fall, especially after initiating the attack. Although the betrayal of an ally contributed to his defeat, the shock remained palpable.
However, despite their astonishnt, the crowd's eyes remained fixed on the battlefield, where Gu Lan standing at the center of the maelstrom, surrounded by the chaotic surge of three imnse powers.
"Could Gu Lan Realm Ruler also be out? Such imnse power makes it hard to believe he could withstand it without Divine Realm strength. Even Imperial Realm peak defenses shouldn't be able to block such attacks."
"If he didn't use Divine Realm strength to block it, he'd be severely injured or even crippled. For a genius like him, that would be disastrous."
As the combined forces of thunder, flas, and sword light dissipated, the first thing everyone saw was a set of armor, worn and battered, ford from emperor-tier weapons.
Warrior Technique!
The technique previously used by Lanyan Royal School's disciples reappeared.
"Is Lanyan Royal School really a Lower Realm force? Are they an emperor-tier weapon wholesaler or sothing?"
"Not just a wholesaler, but practically an emperor-tier weapon manufacturer. Gu Lan Realm Ruler withstood that attack with four sets of emperor-tier weapon armor!"
Under everyone's gaze, Gu Lan erged unscathed, flanked by four damaged sets of battle armor. He wasn't hard at all.
The attacks from the Imperial Realm peak were naturally countered with equivalent techniques. To withstand such attacks, emperor-tier weapons were essential. Gu Lan had an ample supply of them.
This Realm Ruler battle had started with Gu Lan in an unbeatable position from the outset. He retrieved the four sets of emperor-tier armor, planning to have them repaired by the Demon Realm's master craftsn for future use.
"Next, it's your turn!" Gu Lan's gaze fell upon the Fire Clan elder.
