Xiao Fan is serious this time. The other party's cultivation level is the same as his, and he still really wants to enter the Lingtian Secret Realm.

Perhaps by taking advantage of this opportunity, I can break through to the Golden Core Realm.

Golden Core True Person—this was the immortal he used to think of, an unattainable being. He never imagined he would gradually approach that level himself.

He uttered a low shout, "Overbearing and domineering."

His aura became more substantial, the momentum he generated was more powerful, and his domineering presence was even more overwhelming.

"Overlord's Slash".

The moves in the Overlord Blade Technique.

The Overlord's sword doesn't need fancy tricks.

Xiao Fan locked onto Wei An and slashed straight at him with his sword.

Wei An was equally fearless and confident in himself after advancing to the next round.

"Sword energy soars to the heavens."

His aura also changed, the world was in turmoil, and that feeling of being the only one who mattered became even stronger.

He roared, "Dragon-Slaying Slash!"

He met Xiao Fan's Overlord Slash head-on.

Bang.

Under Wei An's incredulous gaze, he was caught in a dilemma by Xiao Fan.

Shocked, he thought, how could this be? He had also advanced to the same cultivation level as the other party.

Could it be that the other party's spiritual power is even more profound than his?

The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect were also dumbfounded and could not accept this fact for a moment.

Xiao Fan is now fully focused on battle, not thinking about anything else, and is determined to win.

That was a Golden Core cultivator beckoning to him; he could not afford to lose.

He raised his hand and slashed out with his sword again.

Overlord Sky-Splitting Slash.

The same cut may seem similar, but it carries different meanings.

Simplifying complexity and complicating simplicity are two different realms, each with its own profound mysteries.

Xiao Fan has already begun to have some feelings about it.

This strike was even more ferocious and domineering than the previous Overlord Slash.

Wei An was startled. Without thinking, he quickly used his skills to deal with the situation.

"Sword Cage".

His spirit sword danced rapidly, creating streaks of sword shadows, as if a cage was trying to lock down Xiao Fan's attacks.

Bang.

It's just a pity that he couldn't do it.

Wei An retreated continuously, spitting out blood, his eyes filled with horror.

Is this their true strength?

Xiao Fan didn't stop and continued to slash with his sword.

Dominate the world.

A seemingly simple cut can evoke completely different feelings.

Wei An felt it most deeply; he felt that his entire being was covered and enveloped by the force of Xiao Fan's blade, and he could not escape it.

He knew that if he didn't go all out, he definitely wouldn't be able to withstand this attack, and then the spot in the Lingtian Secret Realm would be out of his reach.

How could he be content with that?

He frantically mobilized the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, making the already turbulent sky even more chaotic.

Wei An brandished his spirit sword, and a sword hummed.

He roared, "Sky-Piercing Strike!"

At this moment, he was able to briefly borrow the power of heaven and earth, even if it was only a small part.

This is already a pipe dream for someone in the Foundation Establishment stage.

It seems that Xiao Fan's "Unrivaled Power" strike put him under immense pressure, as he had never used this trump card before.

The aura behind Xiao Fan is like the imperial ambitions he has built, while Wei An's aura is that of a supreme ruler who commands the world.

The aura displayed by these two individuals is already very close to the extraordinary phenomena that can only be possessed by those at the Golden Core stage.

Both are outstanding individuals among their peers.

Who will win in the clash between Ba Jue Tian Xia and Ling Tian Yi Ji?

Bang.

The swords clashed, their blades exploding with a deafening roar that echoed throughout Lingyun Peak.

Who will win and who will lose?

After the collision, the scene quieted down, and both sides held their breath.

Xiao Fan sheathed his sword and stood there, his gaze fixed quietly on Wei An in the distance.

At this moment, Wei An was exhausted and unable to fight anymore. His clothes were torn, blood was spilling from the corner of his mouth, and he had a bitter smile on his face.

He lost.

Xiao Fan held back just now, otherwise he would have been seriously injured.

That was truly a powerful strike.

His feelings were complex, from initial confidence to gradual seriousness, and finally to defeat.

This twelve-year-old boy taught him a harsh lesson.

His sect leader was right; there are always higher levels to reach and more capable people to surpass.

Xiao Fan's sword is all about domineering and powerful. No matter what kind of heaven-piercing strike or the power of heaven and earth, he will just cleave it in two with a single, domineering strike.

Xiao Fan won, and won directly and decisively. After this battle, he gained a deeper understanding of the Overlord Blade Technique and a different perspective on the way of the blade.

Wei An's unique swordsmanship and techniques also gave him a lot of inspiration and ideas, which he was able to try out.

Those watching from below the stage saw both sides stop fighting.

For a moment, no one could react, and the entire room fell silent.

It wasn't until Yin Tiantian shouted, "Senior, Xiao Fan won! Announce the result, no cheating allowed!"

Not to mention these disciples, even Deng Tianning, as the head of the sect, was amazed by Xiao Fan's performance.

He snapped out of his daze and resumed his cheerful expression. "Hehe, my friend Xiao Fan won this competition and has earned a spot to enter the Lingtian Secret Realm."

These people finally realized what was happening, their faces filled with disbelief and immense envy.

"This is truly unexpected. Senior Brother Wei An advanced in the end, but he still lost."

"Who would have thought of this? I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes."

"Did you see their final move? I felt that fear even standing in the audience."

"Who says otherwise? I definitely couldn't handle it. Senior Brother Wei An is quite good."

"It's just that the opponent was too strong, not that Senior Brother Wei An is to blame."
