Chapter 553 - 553 572 The Strongest Four 4th Update

553: Chapter 572: The Strongest Four (4th Update) 553: Chapter 572: The Strongest Four (4th Update) The starry sky roared, the Star Sea churned, and suddenly a blue light materialized in the center of the Chaos Arena.

A Daoist in blue robes wielded an Immortal Sword, pointing it from afar at the Daoist of Netherworld.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

Without any superfluous words, the Daoist in blue robes thrust his sword forward.

The Heaven Splitting Sword Light surged forth like a starry river sweeping towards the Daoist of Netherworld.

“Netherworld road, Wang River’s sorrow, Jiuyou lost souls, never turn back!”

The Netherworld Daoist was chanting scriptures, and tens of thousands of miles of the Chaos Arena trembled.

A dim and turbid light emerged from his aged fingertips, instantly engulfing the Heaven Splitting Sword Light.

Buzz!

The sword light dissipated, and the wailing of lost souls followed.

The murky yellow light enveloped the Daoist in blue, freezing him in the void.

Like the Ulong Daoist, his eyes turned dull, and soon, his body crumbled like sand, vanishing amidst the stars.

Terrifying to this extent, horrifying beyond measure.

Two Daluo Golden Immortals had met their ends with their souls scattered.

This truly sent shivers down the spines of the powerful beings around, and they looked at the Netherworld Daoist with extreme fear in their eyes.

Daluo Golden Immortals were not mere pigs or dogs that could be slaughtered at will.

Even if one’s realm was higher than that of a Daluo Golden Immortal, completely annihilating one was exceedingly difficult.

Yet, this Netherworld Daoist was exceedingly eerie.

His divine powers were bizarre to the extreme, not only silently killing two Daluo, but he also made it look effortlessly easy.

How could this not instill fear in everyone?

The consecutive deaths of two Daluo Golden Immortals immediately made the Netherworld Daoist synonymous with death.

From then on, no one else dared to face him, obviously frightened by his methods.

The Netherworld Daoist, hunched over, shakily bowed to the powerful beings around, and then quietly stood in the center of the Chaos Arena.

A year passed, and no one challenged him.

The Netherworld Daoist then stepped down from the Chaos Arena, becoming the second victor.

Clang!

A shocking sword cry sounded again, as the Sword Demon stepped forward.

He held a sword wrapped in black cloth, surrounded by swirling demon lotuses, the devastating Demon Sword Light sending chills to anyone who laid eyes on it.

Sword Demon, unknown by name or origin, had only ever fought once in his life, a shocking battle with the Peacock Daming King.

Although he was ultimately defeated, his reputation resonated among the Daluo Golden Immortals.

“Rumors say the Fallen Demon Sword can destroy the heavens and earth, please enlighten me with your teaching, Sword Demon.”

From the east, a purple aura approached, and sword cries pierced the sky.

A purple-robed Daoist appeared, carrying a sword on his back.

A surge of righteous energy filled millions of miles of starry space, even the Sword Qi he exhaled tore through the void, truly a peerless Sword Immortal.

“Die!”

Whish!

The Sword Demon’s expression was cold and ruthless.

He didn’t even let the Daoist enter the Chaos Arena, and without using the sword in his hand, he merely pointed a sword finger.

A streak of black Sword Light that could shatter the heavens and split the earth carved through millions of miles of the void, heading straight for the Daoist.

A sword that severed life and death, a corpse split in two.

The Sword Demon transformed his finger into a sword, akin to the Nine Heavens Star River cascading down, which caused the purple-robed Daoist’s face to drastically change.

In a panic, he attempted to block this devastating strike by quickly manipulating his Sword technique.

Crack!

The Daoist in purple’s Immortal Sword shattered bit by bit, a Demon Sword Light that spanned the starry sky flashed brilliantly.

In his terrified gaze, his eyes were dyed with blood, his head severed from his body in two clean cuts.

Pff!

A single sword divided life and death, bisecting the corpse, indeed it was no mere talk, but the life-taking sword of the Sword Demon which cleanly cut the Daoist in purple in half at the waist, where blood spewed out into the starry sky.

Bang!

The two halves of the body fell in the Chaos Arena, even the Daoist’s Primordial Spirit was obliterated by this single sword, leaving no chance for reincarnation.

Throughout, the Sword Demon hadn’t moved an inch and the Fallen Demon Sword in his hand had never left its sheath, yet this strike had all the other Heavenly Great Divine Powers turn pale, all of them sighing deeply.

The terror of the Sword Demon was overwhelming, truly deserving his reputation from his battle with the Peacock Great Ming King, quenching the fiery hearts of those itching for a fight, who dared to challenge the Sword Demon?

A year had passed, with no one stepping forward, it was only natural that the Sword Demon became the third victor, but as he walked down the stage, he gave Ye Xuan a deep look, a fierce gleam flashing across his eyes.

“This fourth spot, why don’t you gentlemen give it to me?”

As the Sword Demon left the arena, the Antarctic Immortal Elder quietly appeared in the Chaos Arena, his face carrying a warm smile as he bowed politely to the other Heavenly Great Divine Powers, his presence radiating a gentle charm.

The Antarctic Immortal Elder, one of the two Vice Sect Hierarchs of the Chan Sect, also the Closed-door Disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, his Cultivation at the extraordinarily high level of Daluo Nine Heavens Realm, was daunting in both his support and power.

As they say, it’s good to stick behind a big tree for shade.

Being a proper Taoist and disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, naturally, the Heavenly Great Divine Powers showed respect to the Antarctic Immortal Elder.

As expected, without anyone challenging the Antarctic Immortal Elder, he naturally became the fourth victor and then walked down from the Chaos Arena with a smile.

Time gradually passed, years went by, starting the fifth year, the battles in the Chaos Arena became intensely fierce.

As the ensuing contestants’ Cultivations weren’t as formidably unmatchable as the first four combatants, this allowed all the Heavenly Great Divine Powers to fully display their capabilities, launching one shocking battle after another.

Daluo Immortal Light burst forth, Demon Techniques were cast, and Ghostly Divine Powers silently killed their targets; with time inexorably passing, victors continued to step down from the arena rapidly consuming Elixirs to heal.

Clearly, in this continuous battle mode, without a dominating combat power crushing all directions, they would only exhaust themselves to death, even the victors suffered grave injuries.

Fifteen years passed in a blink, during which some Heavenly Great Divine Powers tenaciously defended their titles in the arena, winning only with great difficulty, while others skilfully seized the moment at the last second to effortlessly defeat the defenders and seize their fruits of victory.

Peng Demon entered the arena in the seventh year, his fierce reputation alone allowed him to effortlessly eliminate a few short-sighted Daluo Golden Immortals, easily securing his advancement to the next round.

Up to the arrival of the sixteenth year, which would determine the last victor, and with hundreds of Daluo Golden Immortals yet to compete, this final contest promised to be exceptionally fierce.

“Big brother, if you don’t make a move now, I’m afraid you will have to willingly give up the last spot in this round,” Peng Demon said with a slight smile, as if kindly reminding Ye Xuan.

Simultaneously, countless gazes focused on Ye Xuan, comprising the eyes of various Heavenly Great Divine Powers, among them the strongest four sets of eyes fixated on him.

As everyone knew, Ye Xuan was the newly appointed Heavenly Emperor, who personally slew the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother, securing great support from the Jie Sect lineage, and even compelling Duobao Tathagata to submit to him upon his ascension to the Heavenly Emperor’s throne.

Ye Xuan’s legendary deeds were many, all of which were recklessly bold, widely known throughout the Three Realms.
