Three days later.
In the northwest of King City, Wu River.
At this mont, the banks of Wu River were abuzz with human voices, densely packed with Cultivators who crowded like ants, their end invisible to the naked eye.
Nearly all of the most powerful Cultivators above the Spirit Sea Realm from Great Xia had gathered here!
A crowd numbering in the millions!
This place was destined for a showdown between peak powers.
More than twenty years ago, King Xia Jiuyou fought Liu Qingcang.
The battle is still fondly talked about to this day.
And today, they shall witness another grand event!
An even grander event!
The duelists have changed, with Ling Chen replacing Liu Qingcang!
While King Xia Jiuyou remained the sa.
Back then, King Xia Jiuyou was only of the Primordial Pill Realm, but now, he had reached the Palace Mansion Realm!
Today’s battle will be even more spectacular!
The Royal Family and Dark Night Cultivators occupied the most advantageous positions, scattered along both sides of the Wu River.
The seven great families, two Academic Palaces, and two major trade associations – the strongest forces in Great Xia – also had good spots.
Only after them ca the Wei Cheng Family, the Eight Prefectures Academy, and the noble and prominent families of the Eight Mansions.
As for the Loose Cultivators, their spots were even further back.
In the middle of Wu River, the river water surged.
The roaring of the water echoed,
Yet it could not overpower the voices of the people, which almost pierced through the skies.
Above Wu River.
There were only three figures.
These three were not Great Xia cultivators.
But no one dared to make careless remarks about them.
Because these three were from the Burning Fla Sect.
"Is it about ti to start now?"
Ye Fentian looked up at the sun, which was right at its zenith.
At his words, everyone imdiately fell silent.
Their eyes, full of intense anticipation, turned towards the Royal Family and Dark Night factions.
"Whoosh!"
A streak of light soared into the sky, standing tall in the middle of Wu River.
This person wore a golden dragon robe.
It was none other than the King of Great Xia, King Xia Jiuyou!
After King Xia Jiuyou’s appearance, Ling Chen also flew out from the crowd.
The two stood facing each other.
"Begin!"
Ye Fentian grinned and said, "Rember my words, only one of you two may live!"
"What?"
The Cultivators all changed color.
None had anticipated that this battle would be a true life-or-death fight!
However, no one dared to voice any objections.
Previously, so had questioned why Ye Fentian could watch the battle from above Wu River.
Li Xuan, who stood to Ye Fentian’s right, imdiately gestured and ford a Sword Qi, wiping out thousands around the person who questioned, including several ninth-level Primordial Pill Realm Cultivators!
Such terrifying thods made it clear to everyone that these three were the true supre powerhouses!
"Boom!"
King Xia Jiuyou’s body shook, and brilliant Black Spiritual Power roared out, enveloping him like a black demon god!
"Ling Chen, co forth and et your death!"
King Xia Jiuyou, with a grim face, called out, holding a black Longsword in his hand.
Naturally, it was a King Spiritual Weapon.
"You’re the one who will die!"
Ling Chen glanced below and then responded coldly.
Below were people like Ji Wuya, Liu Qingcang, and Ling Wu.
But most importantly, there was Ling Tianxing!
Today, he would slay King Xia Jiuyou in front of his father, to avenge him!
"Hmph! Presumptuous fool!"
King Xia Jiuyou sneered coldly: "I want to see what abilities you, a newly risen King, possess to make such bold claims before ?"
Ling Chen was rely at the first level of the Palace Mansion Realm.
Killing Ling Chen would be as easy as turning over his hand!
"Having lived to such an age, only reaching the third level of the Palace Mansion Realm, I truly wonder if you have spent these years living like a dog?"
Ling Chen shot back, not missing a beat.
Ji Wuya had previously inford him about Xia Jiuyou’s cultivation level.
"What a sharp-tongued brat! Just you wait, let’s see how this king deals with you!"
Xia Jiuyou struck out with his left hand.
Dazzling black Spiritual Power condensed into a massive palm that drew in surging Spiritual Energy from dozens of miles around, before the power-infused palm fiercely smashed towards Ling Chen.
This attack relied solely on Spiritual Power!
He didn’t even use the amplification of his Sacred Body.
Yet, the attack was terrifyingly powerful.
Nurous cultivators watched the sky-obscuring giant palm with extre excitent.
Among the spectators, the majority were from the Spirit Sea Realm.
Many hadn’t even witnessed a battle at the late stages of the Primordial Pill Realm, let alone such level of Palace Mansion Realm Spiritual Power!
"Don’t embarrass yourself by showing off such insufficient strength!"
Ling Chen sneered, black Spiritual Power sweeping out as well, coalescing into a massive Spiritual Power palm that struck towards Xia Jiuyou’s Spirit palm!
"Boom!"
The two giant Spiritual Power palms collided in mid-air.
The Void trembled ceaselessly.
A terrifying storm swept out in all directions.
Had it not been for the Spirit Array set up by Elder Mu, the re aftermath might have been enough to annihilate many cultivators!
A few breaths later, the Spiritual Power palms finally dissipated.
In their first exchange, they were evenly matched, with Ling Chen not at a disadvantage at all.
"Is that so?"
Xia Jiuyou grinned ferociously, "I was rely testing the waters just now, I didn’t even employ my Sacred Body’s Spiritual Power. You must have used so Spiritual Power at the level of a Sacred Body, right? Next, I’d like to see how you handle an attack when I fully utilize the power of my Sacred Body’s Spiritual Power."
"Sacred Body?"
Upon hearing these words, the crowd gasped in astonishnt.
It was well-known that Xia Jiuyou possessed a Sacred Body.
Only today did they learn the na of the Sacred Body.
"Boom!"
Even more devastating black Spiritual Power erged as Xia Jiuyou struck out with another palm.
This ti, he pushed the Sacred Body’s Spiritual Power to its limits!
This attack was even more terrifying.
Wherever the giant palm passed, the Void made "squeak squeak" sounds as if it couldn’t withstand the might of the palm!
"Ignorance!"
Ling Chen’s lips curled in disdain, and a voice laced with mockery spilled out.
As his voice faded, the black Spiritual Power around Ling Chen grew even deeper.
"His Spiritual Power..."
Ye Fentian’s eyes suddenly sharpened.
Judging solely from the Spiritual Power emanating from Ling Chen, it seed no less intense than Xia Jiuyou’s!
Ling Chen was only at the first layer of the Palace Mansion Realm!
He was two levels below Xia Jiuyou.
Yet, his Spiritual Power seed every bit as formidable!
"Could it be..."
A frightening thought suddenly surfaced in Ye Fentian’s mind.
"Golden... Palace... Mansion!"
The words were uttered slowly and distinctly.
Not by Ye Fentian.
But by Li Xuan standing behind him.
Li Xuan, a high-ranking expert of the Palace Mansion Realm, had an extrely strong sense for Spiritual Power.
Ling Chen’s Spiritual Power did not give the impression it was bolstered by Secret Techniques.
Pure, refined!
Without a hint of inflation!
"It’s unbelievable! Qing Province has actually witnessed the ergence of a Golden Palace Mansion!"
Ye Fentian exclaid in awe.
In the entire Qing Province, there were probably very few with a Golden Palace.
Even as the Young Sect Master of the Burning Fla Sect, even with his father being a World Realm King, his own Palace was only of the Silver grade.
The Golden Palace Mansion and the Silver Palace Mansion may seem like a small gap.
In terms of Spiritual Power, at most there’s a difference of one level.
But in reality, there is an enormous difference.
The difference lies in potential.
A cultivator with a Golden Palace Mansion almost has a hundred percent chance of ascending to the World Realm in the future!
The world within a King’s body originates from the evolution of the Palace.
The more powerful the Palace, the easier it becos to evolve the world!
Although there’s only a one-word difference with the Silver Palace Mansion, advancing to the World Realm also depends on chance!
If luck is poor, being stuck in the King Realm for a lifeti is not impossible!
