Chapter 311: Chapter 288: The Surprising Result of the Competition (4K)

After the martial arts tournament to win partners, the seventh round of matches began, and the top eight competitors were finally determined.

In Xia State's cultivation world, three individuals made it into the top eight.

Those entering the eighth round included Mount Shu's Lu Changsheng, Black Water Sect's Pang Yuan, Immeasurable Temple's Monk Wu Le, Great Martial Dynasty's Wu Yue, Inquiry Immortal Pavilion's Xia Ningxue, Dragon Tiger Sect's Zhang Qinglong, Profound Heaven Sect's Xuanyin Elder, and Pavilion Master Tang Wansan of Star Pavilion.

These eight individuals were either at the peak of the Unity Realm or possessed the strength of the peak Unity Realm.

"I hadn't expected that three sects from Xia State would have such strong competitors—it's truly surprising. It's quite possible that someone could take victory at the Zhong Zhou convention."

"After this Zhong Zhou convention, many unparalleled geniuses will surely go to Xia State to seek teachers and learn skills."

Strong individuals from sects across all the major domains expressed their surprise.

Even Zhong Zhou, with only two individuals making it into the top eight, couldn't keep up with Xia State's three.

The eighth round of contests began, and the first match saw Lu Changsheng face off against Pang Yuan.

Black Water Sect's Sect Master Pang Yuan was slightly less powerful than Thousand Swords Manor's Sun Jian and, in the end, was defeated by Lu Changsheng.

The second match was Monk Wu Le against the Empress of Great Martial.

"Monk Wu Le has secluded himself for ten thousand years, achieving the Great Perfection of the Decay and Prosperity Divine Skill, and his comprehension of the Dao is inconceivably profound. Unless something unexpected happens, Monk Wu Le will be victorious."

Individuals from Immeasurable Temple, Martial Alliance, Hidden Dragon Temple, and others all believed that Monk Wu Le could defeat the Empress of Great Martial.

Li Changye turned to Lu Changsheng, "Lu, how do you see it?"

Lu Changsheng fell into brief contemplation, "The Empress of Great Martial possesses exceptional strength."

"It seems you have a higher regard for this person, Lu."

"Yes."

After advancing in realm, Lu Changsheng was able to discern that among those of the ninth layer of Unity Realm, the difference in strength between individuals was considerably pronounced.

Monk Wu Le and Sun Jian's strength should be more or less equal, but Wu Yue gave Lu Changsheng a sense of oppression that was even stronger than what Sun Jian had brought.

"Amitabha Buddha, please forgive this monk's impertinence."

Monk Wu Le activated his Decay and Prosperity Divine Skill, and two markedly different auras of life and death spread throughout the arena. All within hundreds of miles witnessed the transition from vibrant summer flowers to total desolation, as everything returned to dead silence.

Life and death alternated in the area of hundreds of miles, cycling over and over again.

When Monk Wu Le's Decay and Prosperity Divine Skill was displayed, the crowd was astonished.

Although it was just an immortal-grade technique, Monk Wu Le's skill was imbued with countless powers of faith.

The comprehension Monk Wu Le had between life and death was alarming.

"To witness my Great Crushing Heaven Palm is your fortune across three lifetimes," said Wu Yue, her eyes bursting with divine light. In that instant, Wu Yue's aura surged rapidly.

A supremely dominating aura emanated from her, as if she ruled over everything!

"No, this can't be—how can a cultivator from Wu Domain have a more imposing aura than the master of Thousand Swords Manor?"

It wasn't just Monk Wu Le; the Empress of Great Martial's strength also exceeded everyone's expectations.

Sun Jian had already awakened, his expression dark.

Having been defeated by Lu Changsheng, his reputation was severely damaged, and now he was even being compared to Wu Yue.

The Empress of Great Martial, Wu Yue, made her move, transforming her hand into a mountain thousands of feet tall to directly suppress Monk Wu Le!

As Wu Yue made her move, the heavens and earth changed color, the sun and moon lost their light!

Monk Wu Le's eyebrows rose, and an incredibly large Buddha statue appeared, half of it shining with radiant light, the other half surrounded by the aura of death.

The giant Buddha struck with a palm, carrying endless oppressive force, withering all in its path.

The Buddha statue collided with the jade hand, and the thousand-foot-tall Buddha ultimately succumbed; the ground caved in, hundred-ton boulders flew about, waves of energy soared hundreds of meters high, and some of the rocks flew towards the spectator stands, only to be stopped by the barrier around it.

As if she was an Empress in her own right, Wu Yue struck once more with her Great Crushing Heaven Palm, and her palm power covered the ground and Monk Wu Le below as if devouring heaven and earth.

"This is a martial technique that surpasses the rank of immortal!"

Grandmaster Chen and others from the Martial Alliance watched Wu Yue's move hysterically.

Wu Yue's Great Crushing Heaven Palm surpassed immortal-grade martial techniques like Baji Fist and Wing Chun Fist, going beyond the limits of this realm.

Not just Grandmaster Chen, but even Tang Wansan and Zhang Qinglong, the peak Unity Realm powerhouses, were deeply shaken by Wu Yue's power.

Wu Yue was not a strong individual from Zhong Zhou but a peerless powerhouse born to the royal family of the Great Martial Dynasty from Wu Domain, having the potential to compete for the first place in the Zhong Zhou discussion of the Dao.

Monk Wu Le was completely on the defensive, hoping to wait until Wu Yue's True Qi was depleted before counterattacking.

However, Wu Yue's True Qi appeared to be infinite, suppressing the giant Buddha conjured by Monk Wu Le deep underground.

"Amitabha Buddha, fair lady, your cultivation is profound, and you are well-versed in martial arts; this monk is no match for you and hereby concedes," said Monk Wu Le as he knew he was outmatched and decided to stop there.

Wu Yue stopped her attack, and her face, exquisite and majestic, was covered with sweat.

Monk Wu Le was not easy to defeat, and it had cost her a substantial amount of True Qi.

Wu Yue looked towards Lu Changsheng.

As she advanced to the top four, and with Lu Changsheng in the same bracket, her next opponent would be Lu Changsheng.

Both were favored children of heaven, and the outcome of their battle was unpredictable.

The next match was Xia Ningxue against Dragon Tiger Sect's Sect Master Zhang Qinglong.

"Come on."

Lu Changsheng sent Xia Ningxue a look of encouragement.

He and Xia Ningxue had spent seven hundred years alone together in the cultivation space, their hearts understanding each other without the need for words.

Xia Ningxue nodded. Carrying the Immortal Slaying Sword on her back, she proceeded to the battleground.

Dragon Tiger Sect's Sect Master Zhang Qinglong, although unarmed, was not to be underestimated. His Dragon-Tiger Skill had reached Great Accomplishment, and his physique could rival an Immortal Artifact. Moreover, he was a master of Talismans, unpredictable and difficult to defend against.

"Fairy Xia of Inquiry Immortal Pavilion may be exceptionally talented and has performed admirably, but Zhang Qinglong is the Sect Master of Dragon Tiger Sect, with strength in Zhong Zhou likely second only to Pavilion Master Tang Wansan of Star Pavilion. It seems Fairy Xia is set for defeat," some opined.
