Chapter 3685: Defeat Again

ash of the sword was a blade that shattered everything, an indomitable sharpness like gold. There was no poison like the green snake's fire, but its icy aura brought forth an invisible whirlwind in th...(Uh, content publishing is invalid and has been blocked.

Wu Lie shi was startled and glanced at the master of Rongxu Cave. Originally, he thought the master of Rongxu Cave looked very serious and must have been determined to win, but now the attitudes revealed by several people in Rongxu Cave gave him a new understanding. The Golden Immortals from Honghuo Heavenly Court were undoubtedly also eager to win. A bet of 20 million low-grade Immortal Crystals was no small matter. It concerned the glory and disgrace of each Heavenly Court, and no one wanted to lose easily to the other. However, compared to them, Honghuo Heavenly Court seemed more magnanimous.

Yet, as the master of Yu Xuan Heavenly Court, he appeared to be too concerned with gains and losses. He even resorted to underhanded tactics.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such an interesting competition among the younger generation. Even their contests can be so high-stakes. A few of us old monsters might as well join in the fun and place a bet, how about it" said the master of Black Domain Mountain.

“That's not appropriate, how much are we betting My junior disciple can offer tens of millions of Xianjing with a wave of his hand. I don't have that kind of capital. Betting too little would just make us look like fools.” City Lord Xing Yi said helplessly.

“It’s best to just watch, I think. Even a contest between youngsters can cause such a stir. If we get involved, the outcome might lead to a full-blown brawl.” Wu Lieshi laughed heartily.

Several Golden Immortals shifted their attention to the warring factions. The commotion caused by Lu Xiaotian and Cen Ye was less significant than their previous sparring match with Lou Yikong. However, for some Xuan Immortals, it offered more insights. After all, not everyone possesses the ability to ignite stars, and this feat is directly linked to one's cultivation techniques and attained realm.

While Cen Ye before them relied entirely on their personal cultivation, this kind of confrontation could allow them to learn more. Once they gained some inspiration, it might become the key to their breakthrough.

Lu XiaTian fought with the opponent for a while, finding that he was truly hard-pressed to defeat him with his current abilities.

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Xia Tian reached out his hand seemingly into empty space, and his entire person vanished without a trace. In response, Cen Ye's complexion changed drastically, faintly sensing that something had been added to the inner realm of Li Xiao Shui Jing. Trying to expel it, Cen Ye felt as though he was separated from the endless waves of Li Xiao Shui Jing, as if an invisible, intangible barrier had been erected between them.

And as if a cage had trapped him. Just in that instant, Lu Xiaottian, who had just vanished, broke through the air and plunged directly into his Li Xiao Shui Realm. As for those few water dragons and three-headed six-armed fire creatures, they were still fighting outside. The Five Thunder Seed Arrows were also trapped within the vast ocean outside.

"Here we go again!" Xuanhu Venerable's face changed slightly, and at the same time, a strange irritability arose in his heart. The scene before him was so similar to when Lu Xiaoxiao fought with Lou Yikong before.

At that time, Lou Yikong tried to use the Xing Kui Tu Mo Grand Formation to attract starlight and defeat Lu Xia Tian within the formation.

Lu Xia Tian suddenly used the Xuanhuo Mystery Formation, causing a central explosion before the formation was fully set up. He gained a local advantage and defeated Lou Yi Kong before his momentum could fully build.

At this time, Cen Ye's Li Xiao Shui Jing did not rely on external objects at all, it was entirely due to his own cultivation. The artistic conception unfolded, and Lu Xia Tian's supernatural powers were repeatedly restrained. As time passed, Cen Ye's advantage would also gradually increase.

Even though Lu Xiaotian possessed some spatial divine powers, directly attacking Cen Ye who was concealed within his own Dao realm proved to be quite difficult for him.

However, to everyone's surprise, Lu Xia Tian didn't change his previous approach and didn't attack Cen Ye with spatial magic. Instead, he used this spatial power to imprison Cen Ye completely. The other party's realm could suppress Lu Xia Tian's three-headed six-armed flame man, five thunder seeds arrow, and the longer it lasted, the greater the advantage.

Yet, it was the suppression of that mysterious and intangible spatial force that proved impossible. Instead, Lu Xia Tian utilized this spatial force to permeate Cen Ye's Dao Realm. In a short time, he isolated Cen Ye from his surroundings. However, this wasn't a complete isolation. In fact, for someone cultivated to Cen Ye's level, wanting to completely sever the diffusion of his artistic conception from himself was unrealistic, even for Lu Xia Tian.

Only the strong compete, victory or death often hinging on a single thought. Lu Xia Tian doesn't need to completely restrain his opponent for too long, just a brief moment is enough. Just like now.

Before Cen Ye could react, Lu Xia Tian materialized out of thin air and stepped into his Li Xiao Shui Jing.

As the seven layers of the floating pagoda's phases clashed and refused to yield, a Buddha's mark was imprinted everywhere. In the blink of an eye, it appeared. At this moment when Cen Ye had no time to mobilize much strength, Lu Xiaoteng's divine power had already arrived.

At this moment, Cen Ye had no other choice but to stretch out his palm and strike empty air. Seven palm shadows collided with the seven Buddha imprints one after another, causing the entire void to tremble. The gazes of the onlookers around seemed to be distorted along with the ripples in the void.

For a moment, all the spectators held their breath, unsure of the outcome of this sudden and fierce battle between the two.

With a boom! The void shuddered, and Cen Ye's figure flew backward. At this moment, Cen Ye gasped for breath, his internal qi surging wildly.

Lu Xiaitian still stood motionless in mid-air, remaining where he was. At this moment, the tranquil veil of water shattered into pieces, the water dragon transforming into countless droplets that vanished within the receding tide.

"Why hold back" Cen Ye looked at Lu Xia Tian with complex eyes.

"In terms of cultivation, I'm inferior to you. It's not easy for us to reach this level. In the future, if you ascend to become a Celestial Immortal, you'll be a worthy opponent. The path of cultivation is endless, and it's good to have one or two rivals." Lu Xia Tian stood with his hands behind his back.

"Thank you, in this battle I was thoroughly defeated. I will ascend to the Heavenly Immortal realm immediately. I look forward to meeting you there in the future and settling the score with the Eastern Divine Alchemist in the Heavenly Immortal realm!" Cen Ye bowed to Lu Xia Tian, then bowed again to Xuanhu Venerable and the others. "I have let you down as a junior disciple. After my ascension, I will apologize to my seniors. For now, I must take my leave."

"Go, ascending to the Heavenly Immortal Realm is a major event. Your path ahead is still wide, so don't let temporary gains and losses affect your state of mind." Xuanhu Venerable nodded. Although Cen Ye had been defeated in battle, his performance was actually much better than Lou Yikong's earlier. He had already suppressed Lu Xiaotiao in terms of artistic conception. As for that extraordinary spatial divine ability, it was naturally easy for them, the Golden Immortals, to crack it.

For Cen Ye, a Xuanxian, even though he was about to advance in rank, he was still considered a Xuanxian. This was truly difficult for others to achieve. Even if they retreated back to the Xuanxian realm, they might not be able to surpass Cen Ye's performance and could even fall short.

While Lü Xiaotiān's spatial power used in the previous battle wasn't particularly strong, and its effect on Cén Yè's Li Xiāo Shuǐ Jìng couldn't last for too long. If the opponent's control was even slightly weaker, Cén Yè could even turn the tables.Tian, it may not have been as simple as it said. 。After Wang Yan and her several children left, Lu Xia Tian was alone on a peak. 。Unattended, Lu Xia Tian held out his palm and a lotus seed, radiating...
