The power of the Five Elents is never-ending and inexhaustible; theoretically, as long as the balance is not broken, it would never dissipate.
In order to evolve the "Five Elents Axe," the Five Elents Axe Emperor spent countless ti and effort; he was confident that Xuanyuan Di absolutely could not easily decipher this move.
And during this ti, it was enough for him to exert his power.
As he raised the Evil Suppressing Axe, a top-tier famous axe, the Five Elents Axe Emperor was about to make his move when sothing extrely surprising occurred.
The axe shadow in the void indeed did not dissipate, but neither did the fist seals; moreover, as they collided, waves of power from the fist seals poured out, clearly penetrating into the axe shadow.
Crack!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Within the massive aftershocks, the fist seals struck the Five Elents Axe Emperor, and the power astonishingly didn’t scatter at all, retaining six-tenths of its pri strength.
"Five Elents Splitting Waves!"
Dodging nimbly, the Five Elents Axe Emperor’s expression grew serious; he switched from using one arm to both, forcefully chopping towards the ground.
The entire Fate Stage shook; this ti there were no axe shadows, just the interwoven power of the Five Elents, like an erupting volcano, violently assaulting Xuanyuan Di.
"Condensed Fist Seals!"
It was still the sa punch as before, but Shi Xiaole and a few others noticed that the punch was more solid now, having shrunk in size but containing extrely terrifying power.
Amidst the sound of steel scraping against shattered glass, the fist power carved a straight path through the power of the Five Elents; the Five Elents Axe Emperor, caught off guard, was sent flying with a punch.
Almost at the sa instant.
As if he had known this outco all along, the immovable Xuanyuan Di took a step that spanned a kiloter, wielding the force of thunder, and launched the third "Condensed Fist Seals," the power condensed to the utmost at that mont.
"The second seal of the Four Directions Fist Seals; with each strike, it further concentrates the power on top of the previous, reaching the peak in three punches. Xuanyuan Di, you truly are terrifying," Qi Muchu muttered to himself.
Who would know that twenty years ago, the two of them had a secret battle, unfortunately interrupted by a perilous land that opened up. At that ti, Xuanyuan Di had to use four punches to compress the second fist seal.
Just one punch difference, yet the levels are completely different.
Clang!
One misstep leads to many; the Five Elents Axe Emperor was beaten back again and again, with blood clogging in his throat, forcefully suppressed. He tried to find an opportunity to counterattack, but there was none.
Xuanyuan Di’s attack seed rigid, but was actually airtight, with no flaws to be found. His combat skills had clearly reached a level of supre subtlety, returning to simplicity!
The fourth punch.
The fifth punch.
"Spurt!"
The Five Elents Axe Emperor spewed out a mouthful of blood; his body flew backward like a shot cannonball, but he finally got out of the opponent’s control. Amidst a roar, he directly drove his power to its fullest.
"Five Elents Breaking Boundary!"
With both arms across his body to the left and the blade of the Evil Suppressing Axe facing outwards, perpendicular to his arms, the Five Elents Axe Emperor violently twisted, driving the Evil Suppressing Axe to trace out a series of circular trajectories.
These circular trajectories were multicolored; so were extrely intense, so displayed a perfect blend of strength and softness, so oppressively heavy, so unparalleled in sharpness, and others were unceasing, wave after wave.
The later waves often rged continually on the foundation of the prior ones, converging to form a more powerful attack, scouring away three inches of thickness from the surface of the Fate Stage wherever it passed.
Xuanyuan Di remained indifferent, his eyes like a dry well without ripples; with his right arm behind him, as his left hand drew inwards, strands of power ford a three-foot square fra, filled with rippling light, floating in front of him.
"Annihilation Fist Seals!"
Everything was completed in an instant; as the multicolored axe light charged towards him, Xuanyuan Di also unleashed the third punch of the Four Directions Fist Seals.
Pop pop pop...
Like bubbles being pricked, the axe light crumbled to bits upon contact with the square fist seal; there was no outburst of surging power because, as it shattered, even its power was extinguished by the square fist seal.
This was true annihilation, from the outside to the inside, leaving nothing behind.
"Impossible!"
The Five Elents Axe Emperor stared blankly as the square fist seal pierced his chest, destroying his life along with it.
Before he completely expired, a beam of light shone down from the clouds above; the Five Elents Axe Emperor appeared on the periphery, his forehead sweating profusely. He was so close, just a hair away from true death.
Looking at Xuanyuan Di, who closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in cultivation, the Five Elents Axe Emperor felt a chill down to his bones; for the first ti, he experienced what it was to be afraid.
From start to finish, even with all his might, he couldn’t gain the slightest advantage. In contrast, defeating him seed to be a trivial matter for the opponent, who didn’t even show a smug expression.
Is this Xuanyuan Di, truly the strongest among the proud ten, the person most likely to rival the legendary six in the future!
"I did underestimate the boy."
"It seems I cannot afford to be careless."
With the Five Elents Axe Emperor’s defeat, dark expressions surfaced on the faces of more than half of the nine great masters, unable to hide their shock.
Truth be told, among the nine, the Five Elents Axe Emperor was by no ans weak; at least five or six of them were not sure they could defeat him. In other words, most likely, these five or six people also were no match for Xuanyuan Di!
Being defeated by the Thousand Swords Emperor or the Startling Thunder Emperor, they could accept that, but now, even a person under three hundred years of age had climbed above them. Should this news spread, how would the people of the Martial World view them?
Having waited begrudgingly for thousands of years, avoiding battle with their strongest peers, only to end up as a backdrop for the strongest of their age?
They were not willing to accept this!
"Strong indeed, but this ti, no one can stop ."
The Thousand Swords Emperor clenched his sword, his gaze deep and profound.
On the other side, the Heavenly Martial Emperor remained silent without uttering a word. He rely sat with his head bowed in ditation, and no one knew what was going through his mind at that mont.
anwhile, many others were imrsed in the overwhelming and domineering presence of Xuanyuan Di. One of the nine great experts from thousands of years ago, an invincible being, was simply being crushed under his fists. It was an unreasonable, and undebatable show of strength.
"Hahaha, truly worthy of being the number one person of the younger generation under the heavens. Who could compare?"
This was a highly skilled mber of the Xuanyuan Clan, laughing loudly with pride filling his voice.
No one refuted him.
Normally speaking, Martial Emperors of the Void Origin Realm have a lifespan of three thousand five hundred years, so anyone under five hundred is considered part of the younger generation. You could search the heavens and the earth and would scarcely find soone who could rival Xuanyuan Di.
Perhaps there was one. Due to mory inertia, the first to co to mind for many was Qi Muchu. However, even the experts of the Hundred Battles Tower lacked confidence.
Because Xuanyuan Di was too focused, so focused on the art of martial combat that it seed to be the only thing in his life.
But Qi Muchu was different; he had too many interests, living a life of exceptional brilliance, yet unable to concentrate his efforts. Despite his unparalleled talent, when it ca to the martial path alone, he might not be able to suppress Xuanyuan Di.
"Reincarnation Martial Way!"
Shi Xiaole withdrew his gaze.
He had long heard from others that what Xuanyuan Di had comprehended was the Reincarnation Martial Way, one of the Supre Martial Arts, corresponding to his Four Directions Fist Seals: Suffering, Assembly, Extinction, Path—the cycle of life itself.
Just the "Extinction Fist Seal" alone possessed the power to overwhelm the Five Elents Axe Emperor. It was hard to imagine how strong his "Path Fist Seal" must be.
Shi Xiaole suddenly smiled. How strong? Well, wouldn’t he know when they crossed hands?
In this round, Shi Xiaole’s opponent was the eerie youth Fu Shuijing. For so reason, a strange feeling arose in his heart, as if there was so inexplicable entanglent with the other party.
"Shi Xiaole, I’ve finally encountered you."
Fu Shuijing licked his lips.
Suppressing the strange emotion, Shi Xiaole struck out with his sword.
Swish!
Claw shadows shattered. Fu Shuijing had anticipated this, swiftly dodging to the right, taking a sharp turn and charging towards Shi Xiaole with such speed that there was no afterimage. His Flying Skill was clearly among the top in the world.
The crowd was astounded.
Fu Shuijing chuckled darkly. This was what he had prepared especially for those ranked in the top twenty, to spring out unexpectedly. Even if they could kill him, he would have a chance to obtain their essence blood—a single drop would be enough.
Desperately driving his essence blood, Fu Shuijing launched continuous claw strikes at Shi Xiaole through the air, exerting all his life’s power.
Swish, swish!
Two sword lights crossed paths, the first shredding the claw shadow, the second piercing through Fu Shuijing.
As he coughed up blood, Fu Shuijing wore a sinister smile, because the true claw force hidden in his hands had already touched Shi Xiaole’s body.
A gust of wind tousled Shi Xiaole’s temples of white hair.
The claw force disintegrated, followed by the destruction of Fu Shuijing’s hands. The reason was that Shi Xiaole had not released two swords, but three. The third sword was too fast, faster than Fu Shuijing’s perception.
"Damn it!"
On the outer ring of the Fate Platform, Fu Shuijing’s complexion turned ugly.
In his effort to seize Shi Xiaole’s essence blood, he had exposed his Flying Skill. Now he had not only failed to obtain the essence blood, but he had also alerted future opponents to be wary of him, unnecessarily increasing the difficulty.
The eighty-ninth round.
After dozens of uneventful duels, another peak battle comnced.
Qi Muchu of the Twin Prides of This Era, facing the Anatman Mountain Man, one of the nine great experts.
Like Xuanyuan Di, Qi Muchu’s Supre Martial Arts was at the midterm of eleven percent, slightly inferior to Anatman Mountain Man’s. However, having learned from previous lessons, Anatman Mountain Man dare not take him lightly, unleashing killer moves from the start, leaving no gaps.
But the pride of heaven is the pride of heaven for a reason; they always manage to turn the tide. At so point, the rhythm of the duel ca under Qi Muchu’s control.
Sixty-six moves.
Qi Muchu won.
"Incredible!"
"The number one Young Master is indeed the number one Young Master. I don’t think he is any less impressive than Xuanyuan Di."
While Qi Muchu seed to have a harder ti defeating Anatman Mountain Man compared to Xuanyuan Di defeating the Five Elents Axe Emperor, everyone knew that the Five Elents Axe Emperor had been sowhat complacent in the first fight. In a true battle, it would take at least dozens of moves to determine the winner.
It was also the seventy-fifth round.
Seeing the two combatants step forward, the voices of the Nineteen Peaks suddenly fell silent, turning oddly quiet.
"So it’s him, the world’s number one genius swordsman."
The elder’s complexion was rosy, dressed opulently, and a three-foot golden mace hung at his waist, making him look like a wealthy man. However, no one dared to think of him that way.
The Golden Mace Emperor, one of the nine great experts!
Opposite the Golden Mace Emperor stood a tall and straight young man who looked no older than twenty. His green robes were tattered, but they couldn’t hide the young man’s noble bearing and handso appearance. It was Shi Xiaole.
The words that Shi Xiaole once said to Liu Ruofei still echoed in the ears of the crowd, implying that he could battle one of the nine great experts. After that, the surge of strength he displayed did indeed rise a notch, astonishing everyone.
And now, finally going up against a genuine nine great expert, all eyes were polished, eager to see how he would perform.
