Inside and outside the Shitian Terrace, there was utter silence.

This scene was truly terrifying. The Emperor's might manifested, and the Heaven-Shrouding Divine Palm pressed down. Even the Trial Platform, which was shrouded in an array and formed its own world, trembled incessantly, intimidated by that terrifying aura.

"War Clan, War Spirit dead, the competition ends, Huang wins."

The martial arts master, who was presiding over the first arena, remained calm and announced the results.

They completely ignored the furious warrior from the Zhan clan.

Upon hearing the host's voice, many people came to their senses.

The outcome of this battle was not surprising, yet it also surprised many people.

"The second prodigy of the Zhan Clan is dead just like that?"

"Huang's strength is unfathomable, truly terrifying!"

"If it were me, I'm afraid I would have been defeated on the second move, let alone forced Huang to use such a powerful imperial technique."

With a single palm strike, the second most outstanding talent of the ancient royal family was killed instantly. The many talented individuals from various sects watching the battle were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths and kept exchanging glances.

The martial artists who witnessed this scene through the projection were still feeling the imperial aura, and were deeply shocked.

This is Huang, an ancient prodigy. If it weren't for the battle spirit provoking Huang, the geniuses of the outside world probably wouldn't have been able to imagine that his strength had reached such a level.

Even those powerful beings from immortal forces were incredibly shocked.

The Zhan Clan members, on the other hand, found it completely unacceptable. In their eyes, Zhan Zi was incredibly strong and exceptionally talented. He would never lose in a contest among his peers; at most, he would only manage a draw, with no clear winner.

However, Li Ming's strength was simply too abnormal. Not only had his cultivation level caught up, but his physical body was practically invincible, and even his cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities had reached such a level.

"...This is the greatest genius of all time?"

Those who had some grudges against Li Ming and some of the prodigies all turned pale, staring at the white-clad figure standing with his hands behind his back on the arena, their eyes filled with awe.

Right now.

Only then did they understand what it meant to be a supreme young man, unparalleled throughout the ages!

Their pride was instantly shattered, and they even began to doubt the meaning of life.

As for certain forces wanting them to deal with Li Ming?

Stop kidding me!

They wanted to live a little longer.

"It's not over yet..."

Among the crowd, a white-haired man's eyes darted around, watching the Zhan Clan members who were on the verge of going berserk.

He didn't seem to care about Huang's strength.

Several powerful figures from Ziwei Academy nodded in agreement, secretly sneering.

The War Clan is not so easily provoked.

As expected, the powerful warrior from the Zhan Clan who entered the arena, seeing Li Ming remain silent, became enraged:

"You little beast, aren't you afraid of angering my Zhan Clan with your cruelty?"

"The First Warrior will surely take your head as a sacrifice for His Highness, the War Spirit!"

"Old man, no matter how many of those ugly bastards from your Zhan clan come, I'll kill them all!"

When Li Ming heard that he had been scolded, he immediately retaliated.

"You should know that even someone like the Azure Emperor died a tragic death. I advise you to keep a low profile, otherwise you probably won't go far in this life."

The warrior from the Zhan clan sneered.

At the same time, he exuded an invisible pressure, wanting countless people to see Li Ming's ugly side.

Of course, he didn't have the guts to attack Li Ming, because everyone knew the nature of the Primordial Heavenly King. If he made a move, Li Ming might not be in much danger, but the people of the War Clan would definitely be finished.

"hehe."

Li Ming merely chuckled, completely ignoring the oppressive aura emanating from him.

Are you kidding me?

He had faced the pressure of a Returning One Realm expert before, let alone a quasi-Returning One Realm expert like this.

When martial artists fight, they all implicitly sign a life-or-death agreement.

Keep it?

It does not exist.

Who knows if your opponent might take advantage of the situation and launch a sneak attack while you're holding back?

The battle spirit spoke rudely and used its supernatural powers without holding back. How could he possibly spare the other's life to cause himself trouble?

He didn't believe that by holding back and then unleashing his domineering aura, the other party would submit.

Such acts of repaying kindness with enmity have occurred before.

There were once two friendly factions. During a martial arts competition between their prodigies, the one who was initially victorious held back, thinking that stopping short of defeat would demonstrate his sportsmanship. However, the initially defeated martial artist launched a sneak attack, severely injuring him and causing him to lose the match...

However, Li Ming remembered the guy's last words.

This man deserves to be executed!

"I don't know how far I can go, but you're sure you can't go much further."

Li Ming spoke calmly, his killing intent undisguised in his words.

At the same time, I couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

His current strength is still not enough to do whatever he wants.

The opponent is a genuine peak expert of the Heaven and Earth Realm. Even if he uses all his strength and wins, it will be difficult to kill him on the spot. Even if he does kill him, the subsequent development of the situation will be very bad.

Moreover, the other party did not actually attack him, so he had no good excuse.

Of course, if he were strong enough to easily suppress the opponent and the Zhan Clan, then he wouldn't need an excuse.

You stepped into the ring with your left foot, you deserve to die!

"you……"

The warrior from the Zhan clan looked fierce and was about to say something.

Suddenly.

A cold voice echoed from the void.

"He's just an old dog, yet he dares to disrespect the Azure Emperor. He's a damned, ignorant dog!"

He even spoke rudely to my disciple! He's practically begging for death and still doesn't realize it?!

In the void, a spatial rift appeared, and a giant hand reached out, instantly grabbing the warrior. A terrifying aura enveloped him, causing him to tremble and turn deathly pale.

"Who? How dare they!"

Everyone was shocked. Who was this powerful figure who had made a direct move?

"Qi Xiu, the headmaster of the Original Academy..."

Among the crowd, an old man's eyes narrowed as he recognized the owner of the hand.

"It's him? No wonder, Huang is also a member of the Primitive Academy, so it's not unreasonable to say that he's his disciple."

Someone muttered to themselves, recalling some of the great man's deeds.

This is a master whose name is not widely known, but whose strength is incredibly astonishing.

Because he is not a being from the Xuanhuang Realm and is not listed on the Xuanhuang Golden Ranking, few people know his true strength.

This person played a significant role in the destruction of that sacred land in the desolate continent.

No one expected that even this person would be alarmed.

This powerful member of the Zhan Clan, chosen as the protector of Zhan Zi, naturally possessed profound cultivation and had already touched upon the realm of returning to oneness. However, his current appearance was incredibly comical, as he was lifted up by a large hand like a chick being grabbed, and he was so frightened by the terrifying pressure that he was almost suffocating.

"Dean Qi... this is a misunderstanding. I... I only took away the body of my clan's prodigy."

"...Also, I absolutely have no disrespectful thoughts towards the Azure Emperor or the Wilderness. It was all a slip of the tongue just now!"

The warrior immediately cried out, trying to beg for mercy.

Bullshit about the glory of the warrior race.

When faced with the choice of one's own life, one must make a decision.

But no matter how hard he tried, it was all in vain in the face of that incredibly terrifying suppressive force.

Qi Xiu's Five Elements Divine Light once suppressed a legendary divine weapon of a sacred land, a weapon of quasi-emperor caliber.

"A slip of the tongue? I think you're getting dementia, making these kinds of little gestures right in front of me!"

Qi Xiu snorted coldly, and five colors flowed between his five fingers, unleashing a powerful force.

A chilling voice echoed across the heavens, audible for miles around: "Those who are courting death deserve to be executed!"

"puff!"

A loud bang startled everyone. What did they see?

A powerful expert who was close to the Unity Realm died just like that.

"A mere old servant of the Zhan Clan dares to shout and reach out recklessly? He's really tired of living!"

Qi Xiu remained expressionless, his voice booming and resounding through the sky.

Tolerate?

There wasn't a single word for it in Qi Xiu's dictionary.

Even if the ancestor of the Zhan clan came along, he would still have to test the other party's level to see if he was worthy of the royal family's status.

What he found regrettable was...

The Zhan Clan certainly didn't send such an old thing.

They probably felt that outside forces would definitely give the Zhan Clan face.

Unfortunately, they underestimated the influence of the War Clan and overestimated the character of some individuals.

Qi Xiu was actually even more arrogant than Wang Yuanshi.

The reason he wasn't well-known was that Wang Yuanshi was afraid he would cause trouble and implicate him as well.

Of course, this is also related to some of Qi Xiu's experiences when he first arrived in the Xuanhuang Realm...
