Chapter 480: Chapter 456 The Only One_1

Raging Sun Sect’s gate, amidst the mountains.

From the flat, seamless land, streaks of sword light soared into the sky.

Some sword lights dazzled like the stars and moon, some resembled thunder and lightning dragons, while others mixed with cold frost storms, carrying the ultimate chill of the heavens and earth within them.

The ground sprouted many sharp spikes, targeting Lie Yi with deadly precision, crazily slashing towards him.

The force of gravity suddenly changed, and Lie Yi, who had been floating, grunted and plummeted downward.

"Boom!"

A huge gateway inscribed with countless patterns of light flashed into existence behind Lie Yi’s back.

On the golden-red gateway, the patterns turned into Golden Crows flapping their wings, stirring up a sea of flaming lightning.

He forcefully stopped his descent, using the "Gate of God" passed down through generations in the Yao Clan to block those blinding sword lights and intercept Pang Jian’s extending Divine Sense.

"It really is you!"

Supported by the gateway behind him, Lie Yi stood like a Sun God from beyond the heavens, an incarnation among mortals, his aura extraordinarily impressive.

Finally, the last streak of azure light was also blocked by the golden-red gateway.

The Golden Crows within the gateway looked toward the deep earth, as if anticipating something.

Nevertheless, beneath the ground, there was stubbornly no more sword light reappearing.

"Gone?"

Lie Yi frowned and coldly snorted.

...

Meanwhile.

"Dazzling Shadow, Pang Jian has reemerged at the Raging Sun Sect, launching swords from underground at Lie Yi!"

"Lord, Pang Jian has surfaced from underground; he actually dares to swing his sword at Lie Yi!"

"General, Sword Tower’s Pang Jian has come out; he..."

In the Devil Scale Tribe, Wood Tribe, and Ghost Clan, similar conversations were taking place simultaneously.

A massive serrated long blade flew out from Red Mountain in an instant, like a thunder rainbow cutting through the void, heading straight for the location of the Raging Sun Sect.

In the Ghost Clan, Wood Tribe, and even the Flame Clan, warriors who were previously idle now quickly piloted their ships toward the Raging Sun Sect upon hearing the news.

...

Deep underground.

Seizing the opportunity, Pang Jian, who had gathered strength to strike out dozens of sword blows, stopped and scrutinized the heavens and earth above with his Divine Sense.

At that moment, Lie Yi of the Yao Clan, his entire body emanating blinding light, seemed to merge with the golden-red gateway.

The light emanating from him and the gateway caused each smooth and mirror-like mountaintop to light up one after another.

At sunset, the sky should have gradually dimmed.

But because this God Son of the Yao Clan had used his bloodline talent to release his inner radiance through the "Gate of God," the realm of the Raging Sun Sect suddenly glowed with resplendent light.

"Pang Jian!"

Lie Yi’s large frame hung steadily in the air, like a mountain, as he stared at the undisturbed ground, mocking, "If you have the courage, then don’t hide deep underground. Come out and fight me in the light of day!"

A group of Yao Clan warriors automatically moved away from the area, stopping on different Raging Sun Sect mountain tops.

Lord Qixu of the Flame Clan, previously soaring high, condensed into a gigantic ball of raging flames and also descended from high above, hovering over the Raging Sun Sect.

"Whoosh! Hiss hiss hiss!"

Starting with Dazzling Shadow, many powerful beings from the Fifth Realm gradually landed on nearby mountain peaks and mid-air around the Raging Sun Sect.

A series of heart-palpitating and soul-shaking gazes fell on Lie Yi’s position, as if they knew Pang Jian was lurking underground.

"Sword Tower boy, if you really dare to come out and fight with Lie Yi, I, Qi Xu, can promise that no second person will join the fray. Not only the ninth-level warriors of all tribes, even the eighth level are not allowed to interfere in your duel."

The voice of the Flame Clan’s strong warrior Qi Xu, coming from within that raging, burning fireball, seemed even more overbearing than Dazzling Shadow.

Three hundred zhang beneath the ground.

Pang Jian, whose surprise attack had failed, originally wanted to use the Purgatory Gate’s instant teleportation secret skill to return directly to Cloud Wilderness in Panshi Fragment Land.

He was alone, and after restoring his fighting strength using the Gold Friday Stone veins and that underground spirit vein deep within the earth, he wanted to seize an opportunity to see if he could ambush and kill Lie Yi.

He had just tried but failed. The Yao Clan’s God Son was still alive.

The wisest course of action for him would have been to disappear from the Qian Tian Continent immediately and recuperate in Panshi Fragment Land, contemplating the mysteries of the miniature Gold Mountain within his Dantian Fragment Land.

But...

If it was as Qi Xu said, and his only opponent on this continent was Lie Yi from the Yao Clan and no others,

Then it’s not impossible that he could severely injure or even kill Lie Yi!

So, moments later.

"The Devil Scale Tribe’s Dazzling Shadow also made a promise a few days ago; if I could block her, she would let me leave at will." Pang Jian’s voice came up from deep underground, his tone indifferent as he said, "Lie Yi, didn’t she still break her promise?"

With one hand clasping that serrated long blade, Dazzling Shadow, whose silvery scale armor covered her face once more, revealed her knife-sharp eyes brimming with icy coldness.

She said angrily, "Lie Yi sought the opinion of the Fifth Realm, all the tenth-level Bloodline Fighters. My father’s stance alone can’t sway everyone else!"

She felt both ridiculed and unjustly aggrieved.

Unable to see Pang Jian, she glared fiercely at Lie Yi and said, "At that time, Pang Jian had just fought with me and was severely injured, so he had to escape underground. I see that he’s almost fully recovered now. If you really have the guts, then just as Lord Qixu said, fight him one-on-one fairly."

"Why wouldn’t I dare?!" Lie Yi sneered with a twisted smile.

So many warriors of the Yao Clan saw him as the leading figure among the younger generation of the Fifth Realm, and he too had confidence in his own strength.

Facing a Sword Tower lad who had advanced to the Extinction Realm not long ago, if he still showed such timidity, what would the Sun God, residing in that round of the great sun beyond the heavens, think of him?

"Dazzling Shadow and Lie Yi, they can only converse with Bloodline Fighters of their father’s caliber at the tenth level. But I can communicate directly with God Spirits," Qi Xu, from within the burning fireball, spoke in a domineering and forceful tone, "The promises I make are the will of the Fire God, even ’He’ would permit it."

At the mention of ’He,’ every Alien Tribes warrior present at the scene showed a reverent look.

They were well aware that even the God Spirits of their tribes revered the being who presided over the Fifth Realm.

When Qi Xu invoked His name, none of the seven level-ten powerhouses born of the Fifth Realm dared to question or oppose it.

"Good!"

As the word dropped, Pang Jian flew out from the earth.

Standing among the peaks of the Raging Sun Sect, he saw altar after altar constructed of Gold Friday Stone and gemstone crystals, each with snow-white skeletal remains above.

Men and women of the Raging Sun Sect, like Su Meng, whose flesh and soul had dissolved, leaving only heaps of bones.

There were a total of eight altars, and the young disciples of the Raging Sun Sect who had been sacrificed numbered several dozen.

Below those smooth mountain surfaces, the remains of even more Human Race cultivators lay discarded in the corners like trash, some being torn and gnawed upon by fourth and fifth-level Ferocious Beasts.

"Huh!"

He summoned the "Heart of Winter," softly landing above, holding the black and gold Origin Demon Sword, facing the Yao Clan’s God Son directly.

At the neighboring peak, and from caves within the mountains, hundreds of level seven, eight, and nine Yao Clan warriors emerged, while further out on the ships, warriors from the Flame Clan, Devil Scale Tribe, Wood Tribe, and Earth Spirit Clan watched with eager anticipation.

Throughout the entire Qian Tian Continent, above and below the earth, he was the only one from the Human Race.

Yet, he stepped out from the hidden depths of the earth under Qi Xu’s promise.

He didn’t trust Qi Xu, nor did he trust the many Alien Tribe powerhouses present.

He just felt that in truly dire circumstances, this unbounded Qian Tian Continent wouldn’t stop him from instantly fleeing with the bronze badge in his chest.

And this was his real confidence in daring to show himself and fight.
