On the judging panel.

Black Dragon King and Jun Tianxia, ​​two powerful experts at the third level of the Super Realm, quickly flashed towards the arena. Powerful domain forces covered the area around the arena, preventing the combat power on the arena from harming the cultivators around it.

"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!"

On the arena, Huoshi An swiftly unleashed several slashes, sending powerful spatial rifts hurtling towards Lin Yun.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

The defensive shield released by Lin Yun was broken one after another, and even the defensive Tai Chi profound meaning was ineffective. As Lin Yun's expression changed slightly, he had no choice but to avoid its sharp edge and quickly dodge these attacks.

"Buzz!"

The powerful attack unleashed by Huoshi failed to reach Lin Yun. Instead, it penetrated the domain power of Black Dragon King and Jun Tianxia, ​​causing their domain power to be rapidly severed. Unable to withstand the attack, Black Dragon King and Jun Tianxia had to use their powerful defenses to block it.

"This Firestone Dark's attack is no less powerful than ours..."

"As expected of the Firestone family, first there was the monstrous genius Firestone Flying Eagle, and now there's the even more terrifying Firestone Dark!"

Black Dragon King and Jun Tianxia were secretly shocked.

If it weren't for the sudden emergence of the Immortal Origin Holy Land, the three top super powers would have been extremely renowned in the universe. Unfortunately, the Immortal Origin Holy Land later appeared out of nowhere, and its extremely powerful strength overshadowed the glory of the three top super powers.

However, as veteran top-tier super powerhouses, Black Dragon King and Jun Tianxia were well aware that the strength and foundation of the three top super powers were far beyond what ordinary super powers could match.

"This battle has exceeded the limits that the arena can withstand. We must immediately activate the main formation of this arena complex..." Li Chu said as he quickly stood up on the judging platform.

"Young Master Li is right..."

"Activate the main formation immediately!"

The other top experts on the judging panel all stood up and agreed.

The battle between Lin Yun and Huo Shi An shocked them greatly. Even the powerful Black Dragon King and Jun Tianxia had to use their strong defenses to withstand Huo Shi An's attack. This generation's prodigy is truly amazing.

It's unimaginable how terrifying such a monstrous genius would be if he were to break through to the Super Realm in the future.

"Buzz—"

Soon, with the consent of the judges on the judging panel, the main formation of this arena complex was activated, with most of the forces concentrated on the arena where Lin Yun and Huo Shi An were fighting.

During this time, a sharp glint flashed in the depths of Li Chu's eyes.

...

"Damn! This Huoshi An's strength is too abnormal!"

"His strength was already formidable, and with the addition of the Firestone Clan's treasured God-Devouring Blade, his current power probably surpasses that of Lin Yun, who possesses the Bloodthirsty Sword!"

"Perverted! Absolutely perverted!"

"I wonder if Lin Yun is his match..."

Those top-ranked contestants were also shocked to see this.

"I actually thought I could get a spot to receive the Heavenly Dao Fruit from this competition. How naive and laughable! Not to mention my original strength, even now I'm far from being able to get into the top three. As for talent and potential, there's absolutely no chance..."

Among the crowd, Xiao Chong watched the battle on the arena, took a deep breath, then smiled bitterly and said dejectedly.

So many cultivators at the half-step super realm were actually stronger than him, a true super strong person. How could he not be greatly shocked?

“Brother Xiao, there’s no need for that. There’s a world of difference between those in the Super Realm and ordinary cultivators. This difference isn’t just in strength, but also in lifespan… If they can’t break through to the Super Realm, they will perish after a few million years. But Brother Xiao, you will continue to grow stronger. That’s what they envy…”

"Indeed, Brother Xiao is so sentimental, how are we supposed to live?"

Lian Shan, Qing Luo, and the others were watching the battle on the arena in shock when they heard Xiao Chong's words. They turned their heads and laughed.

“Uh…” Xiao Chong was speechless.

These prodigies mostly have extremely powerful backgrounds, vast resources, and terrifying strength. They have a very high probability of reaching the super realm in the future, which is incomparable to ordinary cultivators.

He wanted to say something, but Lian Shan, Qing Luo, and the others were all at the half-step super realm. If he said anything more, it would be hurtful and pretentious, so he could only remain silent.

"Brother, will everything be alright..." Xia Qingqing asked anxiously from the other side.

“Miss Xia, don’t worry. Although Huoshi An is strong, Brother Lin is no pushover either. Even if Brother Lin can’t beat him, he’ll just admit defeat…” Xiao Chong looked at Xia Qingqing and smiled.

"Yes, Qingqing, don't worry!" Lin Mengmeng comforted Xia Qingqing, linking her arm with Xia Qingqing's jade-like skin.

Compared to Xia Qingqing, who was just an ordinary woman, Lin Mengmeng had practiced martial arts since childhood and had been exposed to many different arenas, so her analysis of this arena was clearer.

Lin Yun may not be the other party's partner, but his life is not in danger.

That's enough.

...

On the arena.

"What kind of weapon is this? It didn't even hit me, yet it seems to be weakening my mental strength? What would happen if it did hit me?"

As Lin Yun dodged Huo Shi An's relentless attacks, he was filled with shock.

Since he fought against one monstrous genius after another, he has encountered many powerful weapons, magical treasures, and even formations.

Among them were even magical artifacts and array flags that could elevate a person's strength from that of an ordinary super-strong individual to the second level of the Super Realm; there was more than one of them.

However, none of those magical treasures and array flags could compare to the Bloodthirsty Sword, and coupled with his own considerable strength, he defeated them all.

However, at this moment, Lin Yun felt a sense of unease from the God-Devouring Blade that Huo Shi An was using, something he had never sensed from the magic treasures and array flags he had used before.

"Buzz—Buzz—"

The Bloodthirsty Sword in Lin Yun's hand trembled rapidly, constantly releasing a powerful crimson light that enveloped both Lin Yun and the Bloodthirsty Sword, giving it an eerie appearance and greatly reducing the impact of the God-Devouring Blade's attacks.

Lin Yun gradually adapted to Huo Shi An's attack rhythm using the Bloodthirsty Blade.

"This Bloodthirsty Sword is definitely no weaker than our family's two clan treasures. It is said that this magic weapon was previously in the hands of an ordinary cultivator. Unfortunately, our Huoshi family did not pay attention to it at the time, and it was eventually obtained by this Lin Yun..." Huoshi stared at the Bloodthirsty Sword in Lin Yun's hand and said with a hint of regret.

As the strongest spy of the Firestone Clan, his own strength surpasses that of Lin Yun. He can only use the two clan treasures, the God-Devouring Blade and the Demonic Sound Bell, during missions. How could he not be jealous that his opponent, who is weaker than him, possesses such treasures?

“The other party has a powerful background. Even if I kill him, I still won’t be able to obtain this Bloodthirsty Sword!” Huoshi shook his head.
