677: Chapter 675: The Strongest Defense 677: Chapter 675: The Strongest Defense The following contests progressed swiftly.

Each battle was remarkably thrilling, drawing nonstop shrieks from the crowd.

The dark-skinned youth had formidable defenses, no one could break through, so he easily won his match.

Zhu Yue wore a murderous look, unleashing a terrifying Thunder and Fire Light that immediately left his opponent gravely injured.

Shen Yaotian was like the Star Battle God, with one hundred and eight Star Halos radiating around him, defeating his opponent with equal ease.

Half a day later, six matches concluded.

And with them, the six finalists were decided.

The six were Lin Xuan, the Golden-haired Youth, the dark-skinned youth, Zhu Yue, Shen Yaotian, and the last was Heimu Ya.

Exerting his full strength, Heimu Ya barely managed to triumph over his opponent and secured a spot among the top six.

The six masters each commanded their side, each emanating tremendously powerful auras, leaving the hundred thousand Martial Artists merely looking up in awe.

These six were too powerful, undoubtedly the pinnacle of the younger generation.

Among them, Lin Xuan attracted the most attention because he was the only one who had slain a Heavenly Pride with a single move.

There were even rumors that he had successfully condensed a Martial Soul, putting him above all others.

The other five victorious geniuses also cast their gaze towards Lin Xuan, their eyes brimming with fighting spirit.

There was no helping it, for the strength Lin Xuan had shown was the most mysterious; nobody knew what Realm he had achieved.

Mystery was the most terrifying thing!

Soon, the second round of the competition began.

First up were Shen Yaotian and Heimu Ya.

In the previous round, Heimu Ya had struggled mightily to claim victory.

Shen Yaotian, on the other hand, had defeated his opponent with ease.

Thus, this battle appeared to have no suspense.

Indeed, the outcome was just as expected.

On the Arena, Heimu Ya was tense, Spiritual Energy surging through him as towering trees sprung up around him, occupying most of the space.

Behind him, the shadow of a vast black tree swayed, rustling like an unparalleled demon, fearsome and terrifying.

However, Shen Yaotian scoffed disdainfully.

His one hundred and eight Star Halos shone brilliantly, and with a wave of his hand, the overflowing Spiritual Energy coalesced into gigantic stars that fell from above.

Each star, blazing with intense flames and massive in size, plummeted downwards with great speed.

In an instant, they shattered the various demonic trees on the Arena and the colossal shadow of the black tree was struck, fading considerably.

Heimu Ya looked as though he had been struck by lightning, his face turning an ashen white.

Then, in a terrified scream, he dared not continue the battle.

With just one blow, his Martial Soul Embryo had been injured, and if he continued to fight, his Martial Soul might very well shatter.

If his Martial Soul Embryo was destroyed, he would lose the opportunity to advance to the Venerable Realm.

He couldn’t take that risk and could only concede.

The crowd of one hundred thousand spectators was taken aback; they hadn’t expected one of the Sha Domain Geniuses to concede so quickly.

Heimu Ya was pale, wishing he could hide in a crevasse in the ground.

Yet he truly did not dare to continue the fight, and could only leave the Arena to the sound of jeers.

Lin Xuan smirked and shook his head; not accounting for strength, with Heimu Ya’s cowardly heart alone, he couldn’t become a true powerhouse.

Such a person is not worthy to be his opponent.

The first match ended quickly, and soon the second match began.

The contestants of this battle were the Golden-haired Youth and the Dark-skinned Youth.

Although these two were new faces in Quicksand City, their formidable strength had already conquered the crowd.

The Golden-haired Youth was shrouded in mystery, a single howl could injure a Heavenly Pride; such combat power was truly defiant of the heavens.

The Dark-skinned Youth was even more remarkable, his strong defense was like that of a Top Treasure, impenetrable by anyone.

Even some of the older experts analyzed that such a defense was probably extremely strong; under the Venerable Realm, it might be very difficult for anyone to break through it.

One possessed heaven-defying combat power, and the other had strong defense.

Who would emerge victorious in their clash?

This was what everyone was looking forward to the most.

The Golden-haired Youth still remained silent, standing there like a cold Golden War God.

However, the aura emanating from him grew even stronger, his Golden Light dazzling, as if it would pierce through the Void.

The Dark-skinned Youth revealed his snow-white teeth, smiling in a very eerie manner.

Perhaps sensing the strength of his opponent, the Golden-haired Youth’s glow became more radiant.

Those golden gleams intertwined in the air, forming an imposing and extraordinary Lion.

The Dark-skinned Youth still flashed his snow-white teeth as Spiritual Energy surged around him, forming Mysterious Runes that clung to his dark skin,

“Ancient Rune!” an elder powerhouse exclaimed.

Such runes were handed down from antiquity and contained immeasurable energy.

They had almost been lost to time, and it was unexpected that one would appear on a youth today!

“Ancient Rune, this person is indeed very strong!” Lin Xuan sat inside the resting room, watching the arena, his brow slightly furrowed.

He naturally knew the power of Ancient Runes, having seen such things in Lord of Wine’s possession.

However, due to insufficient cultivation at the time, he was unable to comprehend them, so Lord of Wine did not pass them on to him.

But anything used by Lord of Wine was definitely not ordinary!

The power of these Ancient Runes could only be imagined.

In the Void, the magnificent Lion formed entirely of Energy transformed into a stream of Golden Light, rushing forward at high speed.

The speed was too fast; the crowd could hardly see clearly, only a surge of light moving rapidly.

The Void trembled, Wind and Thunder roared, as if torn apart by a pair of ruthless hands.

In an instant, the phantom of the fierce Lion arrived in front of the Dark-skinned Youth, roaring ferociously and swiftly striking down.

A heaven-shaking sound echoed in all directions, followed by flashes of Golden Light, transforming into the purest Energy, enveloping the entire arena.

“HAHAHA, useless!”

The Dark-skinned Youth laughed loudly, like a giant with his hands up to heaven, tearing apart the Golden Light.

On his body, the Ancient Engravings flickered, conjuring Mysterious Power, blocking all the Golden Light outside his body.

Such a terrifying attack hadn’t caused him any harm.

People gasped in amazement at the Absolute Defense.

How could the match continue?

It was impossible to breach the defense, let alone injure the opponent!

Lin Xuan was also surprised; the defense of the Dark-skinned Youth was indeed too formidable, absolutely the strongest in the Venerable Realm.

Above the arena, the Dark-skinned Youth laughed loudly.

He stomped his foot, charging out like a black Demon Mountain.

The ground trembled, as though an earthquake had occurred.

If it weren’t for the arena being infused with Venerable Power, it would have turned into dust by now.

Even so, the entire arena still shook unceasingly.

In an instant, he arrived in front of the Golden-haired Youth, unleashing a right fist like an Earth Demon Bear.

A Mountain and Sea-like force gushed out, instantly emptying the air in front of him.

The punch was terrifyingly powerful, purely a physical force, yet even so, a Heavenly Pride would not dare to resist it head-on.

The Golden-haired Youth was sent flying skywards, trembling non-stop.

He let out an enraged roar, unleashing a sonic attack.
