Chapter 1054 Immortal Rendering Sword Strike

Chapter 1054 Immortal Rendering Sword Strike

"Let's just get this over with, shall we?" Disciple Ling suddenly spoke as she retrieved her sword.

"Aren't you going to introduce yourself too?" Yuan asked her.

"And what are you going to do with such information? It's not like we'll ever meet again."

"Is that so…" Although he didn't like her attitude, Yuan didn't care about it either. After all, this will most likely be their first and last meeting.

The guard cleared his throat and said, "Then the rules are as followed. The two of you will fight each other until one of you either loses consciousness or dies. This arena is being protected with an Immortal Array, so you won't truly die even if you die as long as you are on this platform."

He then turned to look at Yuan and said, "If you lose this fight, you will not be able to challenge the Gates of Heaven again until 1 whole year has passed. Do you understand?"

"I understand."

"Good. Then please stand in the red circles. I will begin the fight in ten seconds."

Yuan turned around to see a red circle marked on the platform a few meters and walked to it.

His sparring partner also did the same.

Once they were both in the red circle, Elder Mai and the guard moved away to give them space.

"The fight will now begin!" The guard shouted ten seconds later.

However, neither Yuan nor his opponent, Disciple Ling, moved even seconds after the match had started.

"What's wrong? Are you too scared to move?" Disciple Ling said in a provocative manner.

"No, I'm just wondering why you're not moving even though you said that you wanted this to be over as soon as possible." Yuan smiled. "If I was in a hurry, you'd have lost by now."

Disciple Ling narrowed her eyes.

"A mere Spirit King dares to look down on me?!" Disciple Ling's cultivation base suddenly soared.

'Peak Spirit Sovereign, huh? Exactly two realms above me…' Yuan thought to himself.

"What a foolish little runt. He doesn't even know the difference between a Spirit King and a Spirit Sovereign." A cold smile appeared on Elder Mai's face.

The guard merely shook his head.

'Disciple Ling is one of the most talented disciples in the Gates of Heaven within the Fifth Heaven. There's no way some Spirit King would be able to defeat her…'

Even though people were allowed access to the fifth floor the moment they entered the Third Heaven, most people won't be able to pass the trial until they're at least a Spirit Sovereign.

"DIE!" Disciple Ling suddenly slashed her sword at Yuan without moving outside her red circle.

A powerful sword light that was infused with Sword Aura flew at Yuan at incredible speed, reaching him in the blink of an eye.

However, despite such a powerful strike flying at him, Yuan remained standing there without moving, almost as if he had no intentions of blocking the attack.

"So you came here just to waste my time, huh?" Disciple Ling mumbled in a disappointed voice after seeing Yuan's lack of reaction.

Whoosh!

The sword light clashed with Yuan's bare body a split second later.

Yuan was forced out of the red circle and pushed many meters away by the sword light, which baffled Disciple Ling and the two spectators.

"H-He survived the attack?" The guard mumbled in a dazed voice.

Yuan was a Spirit King, and he'd just eaten the attack from a Spirit Sovereign with his bare body. It didn't make sense that his body wasn't immediately sliced in half by the attack.

After the attack, Yuan casually patted his chest and walked back into the red circle.

"Is that all you've got? I barely felt that. I guess Spirit Sovereigns aren't that much stronger than a Spirit King, after all." Yuan said with a mocking smile on his face.

Disciple Ling's body trembled in anger after hearing his words.

"If you thought that was my full power, you're dead wrong! That wasn't even 25 percent of my full power! I just didn't want to feel like I am bullying a weakling, so I purposefully held back!" She exclaimed.

"Is that so? Then can you use 100 percent of your power next? I'd like to see what you're truly capable of." Yuan said.

"Unbelievable… This little runt is actually provoking her to use her full strength…" Elder Mai muttered in a dazed voice.

"If that's what you want, then I will fulfill that wish!" Disciple Ling shouted as she swung her sword again.

This time, the sword light took the appearance of a blue dragon as it flew towards Yuan.

'Oh… Not bad…' Yuan thought to himself as he retrieved his Empyrean Overlord.

[Immortal Rendering Sword Strike!]

Yuan used this sword technique for the first time after seeing Tian Yang use it in his dream.

Whoosh!

A massive wave of Sword Aura immediately swept the arena in front of him, consuming the blue dragon as well as Disciple Ling in an instant.

"Wha—?!"

Disciple Ling couldn't even react in time before her body was completely destroyed by the devastating attack.

The guard fell on his buttocks after witnessing the attack, and Elder Mai could only stand there with her eyes and mouth wide open, almost as if she witnessed the impossible.

Shortly after Disciple Ling's body was disintegrated into countless fragments, her body suddenly reappeared out of thin air on the floor, but she wasn't moving.

"Li-Ling'er!" Elder Mai immediately rushed to check on her disciple's condition.

She sighed in relief after confirming that Disciple Ling was indeed alive.

Then she turned to look at Yuan with a furious expression on her face. With that being said, she didn't show any signs of killing intent, which surprised Yuan.

"What was your name again?" Elder Mai asked him.

"Yuan."

"Where are you from?"

"Where I am currently, or where I came from?"

"Both."

He smiled and said, "I came from the Lower Heavens, and I am currently in the Third Heaven."

'Lower Heavens?! Impossible!' Elder Mai cried inwardly.
