Chapter 831: Chapter 826: Desolate Artifact (8 Updates)

As Xue Cheng was defeated, it was Zhou Zhou’s turn.

Zhou Zhou was relatively old, at thirty-two years of age, almost the oldest among the eighteen participants competing for the selection in the Buddha Domain.

His realm was also quite high, at the peak of the Vault Extreme Realm Ninth Layer.

Zhou Zhou had a tall build and was bare-handed.

He raised his head and looked at Zhao Xiao, who was ranked ninth: "I challenge you!"

As expected.

Besides Yu You, the weakest was naturally the ninth-ranked Zhao Xiao, and since Yu You had already been challenged by Xue Cheng once, according to the rules, he could not be challenged by anyone else. Therefore, Zhou Zhou challenging Zhao Xiao was the best choice.

Similarly, their duel was also very exciting. Unfortunately, very few people were interested.

Knowing there was a superb feast coming up, who could care about the leftover cold dishes in front?

In the end, after a tough fight, Zhou Zhou barely won against Zhao Xiao.

With this, the ten who passed the selection were confirmed.

And now, the moment everyone was most looking forward to was about to happen!!!

"Are there any more challenges?" Liu Erfu asked, his gaze turning to Shentu Ni as he spoke.

"Su Chen, fight!" Shentu Ni raised his head, staring at Su Chen, and spat out these three words.

In Shentu Ni’s eyes, there was only battle intent, a battle intent that was almost boiling, burning.

He wanted to wash away his humiliation.

Originally, today’s selection fight for the Buddha Domain was his stage to become famous and make a name for himself, but it was utterly ruined by Su Chen. How deep were his resentment, anger, and unwillingness? It was hard to imagine.

What’s more, Su Chen had humiliated him several times in a row.

Contrasting with Shentu Ni’s boiling battle intent, Su Chen was calm and unperturbed, showing little emotion.

Su Chen really couldn’t get excited.

Because, with his current strength, it was no surprise to defeat Shentu Ni, even though not necessarily crushing him.

Even if Shentu Ni’s actual combat power might be close to around the Third Level of the Ancestral King Realm.

The next moment, Su Chen nodded slightly: "Good."

Just that one word signified his agreement.

And Su Chen’s indifference and calm once again infuriated Shentu Ni.

Shentu Ni was gritting his teeth, saying: "Su Chen, a life-and-death duel, do you dare?!!!"

A mere sparring, exchanging moves, or determining the winner was simply not enough for Shentu Ni.

He wanted Su Chen dead.

He absolutely wanted Su Chen dead.

Moreover, if one thinks about it carefully, Su Chen’s death would be beneficial for him too, given that Su Chen had surpassed him in the previous two tests.

Even if he himself possessed the Pure Sword Physique, it would still be hard to ensure that the mysterious woman from the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect was not interested in Su Chen!

What if she became interested and brought Su Chen into the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect? In the future, Su Chen would be his competitor!

And by now, Shentu Ni did not have absolute confidence that he could defeat Su Chen.

If Su Chen doesn’t die, he could potentially steal his position, his martial cultivation resources, his limelight in the future.

Su Chen could only die.

And to kill Su Chen, now was the best opportunity.

After all, no matter how monstrous Su Chen’s talent was, he was merely at the Creation Realm Ninth Level! Even if Su Chen could fight above his level, he couldn’t possibly surpass by ten or twenty Minor Realms, right?

"A life-and-death duel?" Su Chen raised his eyebrows, not surprised.

"You dare not?!" Shentu Ni pressed aggressively.

"Then let it be a life-and-death duel," Su Chen said indifferently. Shentu Ni was courting death himself, and he couldn’t blame anyone else.

"Shentu Ni, Su Chen, think it over carefully again," Liu Erfu frowned with concern.

Whether it was Su Chen or Shentu Ni, both of them were extremely talented prodigies. In the Buddha Domain, they were the top of the top talent.

Such talent is extremely rare, occurring perhaps once in a hundred million years.

A battle to the death like this is certain to result in one of their deaths.

What a waste.

Inside the sedan, the woman in red, stunning as Qingcheng, also slightly furrowed her brows.

Just as Liu Erfu thought, the death of either Su Chen or Shentu Ni would be an extreme waste.

But she had no intention of stopping it.

Let nature take its course.

Perhaps, between the two of them, one must die. Maybe this was a trial in their lives.

To stop them might end up being detrimental to their growth.

There were two choices: first, both Su Chen and Shentu Ni could grow into beings of 90 points. Second, one of them dies, and the other grows into a being of 99 points.

Without hesitation, the mysterious woman chose the second option.

Quality over quantity.

"Since one has chosen a life and death battle, and the other has agreed, let’s begin!" The mysterious woman spoke indifferently, signaling her consent.

Once she consented, even if Liu Erfu wanted to stop it, it was no longer possible. He could only sigh and shake his head, lamenting the pity of it all.

The next moment.

Shentu Ni and Su Chen stepped onto the Martial Battle Platform.

At the same time, everyone in the Martial Battle Hall stood up, trembling with excitement!!!

A true peak battle, one that they would witness with their own eyes. Indeed, it was a real peak battle. Outside of the Buddha Domain, Su Chen and Shentu Ni were almost representative of the strongest on the Divine Martial Continent.

Standing on the Martial Battle Platform, Su Chen and Shentu Ni were about three meters apart.

A cruel smile appeared on Shentu Ni’s lips: "Su Chen, this time next year will be your death anniversary. Your biggest mistake was agreeing to my suggestion for a life and death battle."

Su Chen remained silent.

Uninterested in talking more.

Shentu Ni was somewhat excited: "Su Chen, you are fortunate, for you will witness the strongest me! The strongest Shentu Ni! The strongest Pure Sword Physique!"

Su Chen remained silent.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

Suddenly.

Shentu Ni had a sword in his hand, a different sword from the ordinary, unadorned one he had been holding, which disappeared.

The replacement was a nearly transparent, silver-white sword!

This sword exuded an eerie, almost void-like presence.

The grade of this sword seemed... seemed to surpass that of a Dao Artifact.

Above Dao Artifact is the fabled Desolate Artifact.

On the Divine Martial Continent, could there actually exist a Desolate Artifact?!!! Impossible?

As Shentu Ni drew such a sword, most of the Martial Cultivators in the Martial Battle Hall did not recognize it.

However, Zheng Jingyuan, Xue Shousong, Liu Erfu, and others recognized it, each inhaling sharply.

Even in the Buddha Domain, a Desolate Artifact was a top-grade Weapon.

Until now, the three of them did not possess a Desolate Artifact.

It was shocking that Shentu Ni could produce a Desolate Artifact...

Simultaneously, inside the sedan, the woman in red sighed softly and looked deeply at Su Chen.

Not for any other reason but because she felt that the odds were against Su Chen.

Others only knew that a Desolate Artifact was incredibly powerful, but she knew that in addition to its power, a Desolate Artifact had another unique attribute—it can withstand the Innate Light!
