Chapter 1172: Chapter 1172: Guihai Tianlong’s Swelling Ambition
Li Tiangang and Liu Bai Ru’s faces were also gravely serious.
This Elder Yu Mo was actually in the Sixth Level Heaven realm, truly if this were the case, even if he was injured, they would not be his match.
"No wonder he’s a monster that’s lived for three thousand years, actually reaching the Profound Argumentation Sixth Level!" Liu Bai Ru lamented.
Li Anshan and Mei Ji were also full of amazement.
Profound Argumentation Sixth Level, they had just stepped into the First Level, and the Second Level was still far away.
Profound Argumentation Sixth Level, killing them would indeed be just a flick of the finger.
Xu Nian also fell into deep thought, suppressing the impulse to take action just now.
He felt that this Elder Yu Mo was deliberately acting seriously injured, to lure him into taking action.
The show of force just now was perhaps another bait.
Regarding this, Xu Nian could only continue to hold back, waiting for a new opportunity.
"Will you go or should I go first?" Xu Nian turned to ask Guihai Tiangong.
Guihai Tiangong hesitated for a moment, then said, "I’ll go first!"
Right after speaking, Guihai Tiangong dashed out.
In fact, Guihai Tiangong’s strength was not weak, his understanding of Profound Argumentation had already reached the Third Level of Profound Argumentation, only one step away from the Fourth Level.
Of course, compared to Xu Nian, there was still a considerable gap.
"Buzz!"
The Formation was activated, and the Sword Qi phantom appeared once more.
A single sword strike, like a hanging galaxy, was extremely fierce.
However, this sword compared to the first sword of Elder Yu Mo and Wei Dong earlier, was much weaker.
After all, the formation’s power was based on the strength of the challenger.
Even so, the power of this sword was still approaching Guihai Tiangong’s limit.
Indeed, this Earth-level Assessment is an extreme trial, pushing someone’s limits; if you can break through under the limit, then you can pass this trial.
If not, forcing through only leads to a dead end.
Earlier neither Elder Yu Mo nor Wei Dong continued to the third sword, so the strength they exhibited wasn’t at their maximum.
Who knows if Guihai Tiangong has the courage to push his limits!
"Break for me!"
Seeing the sword, Guihai Tiangong wielded a battle saber instantly.
With a chop, the saber light was chilling.
The third saber of the Asura Three Sabers, Hell Non-Gate!
Only, this slash was infused with Guihai Tiangong’s understanding of the Wind Vibration Profound Argumentation.
A single slash, and the saber light extended for thousands of miles.
"Boom!"
The Sword Qi and Saber Qi collided.
The Saber Qi shattered instantly.
The residual Sword Qi pressed on, crashing into Guihai Tiangong.
Guihai Tiangong was shocked, and immediately blocked with his saber horizontally.
"Clang!"
A sound of extreme vibration rang out.
Guihai Tiangong, along with his saber, was sent flying.
"Boom!"
Guihai Tiangong collided with the barrier, spitting a mouthful of blood.
"Good!"
Shi Guangxu clapped and cheered.
Guihai Tiangong’s breath was already uneven, and upon hearing the cheers, he spat another mouthful of blood.
He glared at Shi Guangxu with murderous intent, but saw Shi Guangxu make a face at him, angering him to the extremes.
Xu Nian saw this and couldn’t help but smile bitterly; Shi Guangxu might not have much power, but his ability to provoke was top notch, perhaps he might really anger Guihai Tiangong to death.
"Tianlong, calm your mind and restore your strength to face the next attack," Elder Yu Mo’s voice sounded.
Upon hearing this, Guihai Tiangong calmed down, took a Pill, then began closing his eyes to recover from his injuries.
Very quickly, under the Pill’s aid, Guihai Tiangong’s injuries healed.
When Guihai Tiangong opened his eyes again, his breath was adjusted to its best state.
Xu Nian couldn’t help but admire; Guihai Tiangong truly was a talent, if not for a lack of magnanimity, he would undoubtedly be a future overlord-like existence.
"Buzz!"
At this moment, a second slash was unleashed.
It was still a terrifying Sword Light, but this sword was more fierce than the previous one.
Not daring to slack, Guihai Tiangong wielded his battle saber, slashing out.
In an instant, the sound of a dragon roar echoed.
A blue saber light surged forth like a colossal azure dragon, fiercely slashing at the Sword Radiance.
"Azure Dragon Saber Technique? Is this the inheritance Guihai Tiangong received?" Xu Nian observed the Saber Light, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
This Azure Dragon Saber Technique was indeed much stronger than the Asura Blade Technique, and this slash had pushed the Wind Vibration Third Level of Profound Argumentation to its limit.
If he guessed correctly, the greatest power of this Azure Dragon Saber Technique should be when the Wind Vibration Profound Argumentation reaches the Fourth-level Peak.
Just like his Space Nine Kills, which utilizes the Space Tear Profound Argumentation, the greatest power would be when the Space Tear Profound Argumentation reaches the Fourth-level Realm.
Xu Nian was currently only at the First Level, not even reaching thirty percent of its maximum power.
"Boom!"
The Sword Radiance collided with the azure Saber Light, producing a deafening sound.
The Saber Qi and Sword Qi scattered everywhere.
Guihai Tiangong’s figure was instantly pierced by dozens of scattered Saber Qi and Sword Qi, blood mist spread.
But this sword was effectively fended off, and his injuries were bearable.
"Woah, nearly turned into a beehive there. If I were you, I’d protect the crotch, lest by accident, you cut off future generations, ending the Guihai line!" Shi Guangxu’s venomous tongue came into play.
Guihai Tiangong’s eyes were wide with rage, and in the next moment, he was ready to charge forward and tear that bastard’s mouth apart.
"Come on, come on, hit me then, if you’ve got the guts, come out!" Shi Guangxu taunted with a mocking smile.
Guihai Tiangong was even more infuriated, as if a Buddha appeared from his rage, followed by another ascending to heaven.
"Pay no mind, focus on resisting the Sword Qi. Remember what I taught you, use Qi to wield the blade, and thoroughly comprehend the essence of Azure Dragon Sword Qi. Sometimes anger itself is a form of strength," Elder Yu Mo advised.
Guihai Tiangong immediately calmed his anger and reflected on the sword intent just now.
The Azure Dragon Saber Technique had been passed into his mind, containing much experience. If he could absorb these experiences, Guihai Tiangong could quickly achieve a breakthrough in comprehending profound argumentation.
Just as Xu Nian had with the Space Tear Profound Argumentation, leveraging the experience from Space Nine Kills, he could also make a rapid breakthrough; it was just a matter of time.
As Guihai Tiangong pondered, an indescribable fluctuation emanated from his body.
"Roar!"
Dragon roars echoed ceaselessly like a hundred thousand giant dragons howling.
The surrounding crowd was astonished, knowing well that these were not dragon roars but sounds caused by wind vibration.
It seemed that Guihai Tiangong was truly on the brink of a breakthrough during the battle.
"Buzz!"
At this moment, the sword qi figure finally struck out the third wave of Sword Qi.
This strike was plain and unadorned, as if all brilliance was retracted, yet it exuded an extremely dangerous aura.
As if it had the power to slice through everything in the world.
However, Guihai Tiangong still did not open his eyes, but his aura was growing ever more intense, and the surrounding dragon roars were becoming stronger.
"Buzz!"
At this moment, Guihai Tiangong suddenly opened his eyes.
A phantom of an Azure Dragon immediately appeared behind him, its aura soared into the sky, causing the entire barrier to tremble violently.
The surrounding crowd was shocked upon seeing this scene.
He really broke through!
Guihai Tiangong actually made a breakthrough at this critical moment to reach the Fourth-level Realm of Profound Argumentation.
"Damn, he got lucky!" Shi Guangxu couldn’t help but curse.
He had tried so hard to provoke Guihai Tiangong just to make him lose his reason.
But unexpectedly, he still managed to break through in the end.
"Slash!"
Guihai Tiangong looked at the approaching Sword Qi and swung his battle saber.
The Azure Dragon behind him instantly turned fierce and let out a roar.
"Boom!"
The Sword Qi and Sword Light collided, causing the entire barrier to tremble.
The surrounding crowd was amazed, realizing that without the barrier’s protection,
Even they would have suffered significant losses from the Sword Qi and Sword Light.
As the Sword Qi and Sword Light dissipated, Guihai Tiangong’s figure was revealed.
At this moment, he was in a miserable state, but his eyes were full of vigor.
"Succeeded?" Liu Bai Ru and Li Tiangang were both filled with amazement, not expecting Guihai Tiangong to succeed.
Xu Nian also showed a surprised expression, as Guihai Tiangong had broken through his own limits and thus succeeded.
"Buzz!"
A pillar of light instantly encompassed Guihai Tiangong, and in the next moment, his injuries began to heal.
Not only that, but Guihai Tiangong’s cultivation was also slowly progressing.
Under this pillar of light, his Mud Ball Palace began to take form, transforming into an Immortal Palace.
After the time it takes for fifteen minutes, the light finally dissipated.
And Guihai Tiangong’s cultivation had suddenly advanced from the late stage of Earth Immortal Realm to the peak of the late stage Earth Immortal Realm.
For others, it would take at least a hundred years of cultivation to achieve this.
But now, Guihai Tiangong only took fifteen minutes.
Moreover, his physical body had also become much stronger under the nourishment of this pillar of light.
"A revelation! The Sage Sect sure is profoundly rooted," Li Tiangang sincerely marveled.
Only an ancient sect like the Sage Sect could perform such a revelation on a genius disciple at the Earth Immortal Realm level.
"Haha, I’ve become stronger, I’ve become stronger!" Guihai Tiangong laughed heartily.
At this moment, he felt an unprecedented excitement.
"Hmph, it’s just reaching the peak of late stage Earth Immortal, you haven’t broken through yet," Shi Guangxu taunted once more.
However, there was a hint of sourness in his tone.
Upon hearing Shi Guangxu’s words, Guihai Tiangong laughed and turned to Shi Guangxu, saying, "I was able to break through and succeed in the assessment, largely thanks to you. If you hadn’t provoked me, I truly wouldn’t have grasped the essence of Azure Dragon Sword Qi. Azure Dragon Sword Qi lies in anger; only with true anger can one unleash genuine Roaring Sword Qi, so your provocation helped me a great deal."
Hearing these words, Shi Guangxu scratched his head in frustration, feeling extremely displeased.
"Haha!" Guihai Tiangong laughed heartily.
Then he turned to Xu Nian, his eyes filled with a fighting spirit: "Xu Nian, do you dare to fight me?"
"Shameless!" Shi Guangxu immediately cursed.
Liu Bai Ru and Li Tiangang also looked furious.
This guy, after obtaining the legacy, wanted to challenge Xu Nian.
Wasn’t this clearly an attempt to kill Xu Nian before he could obtain his own legacy?
Xu Nian just smiled, gesturing for Liu Bai Ru and Li Tiangang to remain calm, and responded to Guihai Tiangong, "Why wouldn’t I dare?"
"Good! You’ve got guts!" Guihai Tiangong sneered, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes.
Now that his profound argumentation reached the fourth level and his strength had reached the peak of late Earth Immortal stage,
He didn’t believe he would still lose to Xu Nian.
Seeing Guihai Tiangong’s mockery, Xu Nian’s lips curled into a slight smile.
You’re confident, aren’t you?
Then I’ll completely shatter your confidence!
