Lin Xuan took a step forward and soared into the sky.
In the next instant, they had arrived at the summit of the mountain. The entire summit of Hunyuan Mountain was enormous, and in the very center of the vast, empty summit, an ancient stone tablet stood tall, reaching straight into the clouds.
This is the Hunyuan Stele.
On every Hunyuan Mountain, there is bound to be a Hunyuan Stele. Only by leaving one's name on this Hunyuan Stele can one be qualified to participate in the Battle of the Peaks.
Lin Xuan squinted as he examined the Hunyuan Stele before him. The entire stele was perfectly formed, exuding an ancient and weathered aura. The surface of the stele was as smooth as jade, without any traces or names.
Because all the names left behind will eventually disappear, they will not be revealed on the Hunyuan Stele. Otherwise, no matter how tall the stele is, it will eventually reach a limit.
"The Primordial Stele..."
After muttering something to himself, he walked step by step toward the Hunyuan Stele.
"A mere human dares to want to leave his name on the Primordial Monument? Who gave you that confidence?"
Just then, a cold voice suddenly rang out, and a streak of light descended from the sky, stopping ten feet away from Lin Xuan and blocking his path.
He was a demon, with a human body and a tiger's head, sharp eyes that held a chilling killing intent. Upon arriving, he stared directly at Lin Xuan and said coldly, "Although Mo Qingtian isn't much, he is still a member of my demon race. It's not your place to kill him..."
"So what? Do you want to avenge him? Or do you want to reunite with him in the underworld?" Lin Xuan chuckled coldly, speaking indifferently.
But this seemingly innocuous remark moved everyone, causing their expressions to change. They secretly thought that Lin Xuan was indeed impressive, daring to be so arrogant and presumptuous in front of this person. He was truly courting death!
"My God, this human is too arrogant. Doesn't he know the identity of the person who stopped him? That's Chi Wudi, one of the ten true disciples of Blood Blade Valley and the young patriarch of the Twin-Winged Crimson Gold Tiger Clan. I heard that his cultivation has already reached the peak of the King level, which is comparable to a peak Heavenly Immortal!"
"It's not just the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm. The combat power of the demon race is generally a level stronger than that of our human race in the same realm. This Chi Wudi himself has a profound foundation and unparalleled combat power, enough to fight against the limit of the Celestial Immortal realm."
"What do you mean by fighting a Celestial Immortal at the limit? Your information is outdated. Don't you know that Chi Wudi killed a Celestial Immortal at the limit three months ago?"
"Holy crap, no way! He's killed a Celestial Immortal at the limit, how strong is Chi Wudi? Could he be a half-step Golden Immortal? If that's the case, then the human race is probably in for a world of trouble this time."
...
On Mount Hunyuan, many people were discussing the matter, and the gazes directed at Lin Xuan had long been replaced by pity and mockery.
Even a fool could see that Chi Wudi was deliberately picking a fight.
In fact, if anyone knew the inside story, they would know very well that the reason Chi Wudi approached Lin Xuan was not because of Mo Qingtian. That was just an excuse. His real reason was that Chi Wudi also coveted Xuanhuang Star.
He wanted to take over Xuanhuang Star, and Lin Xuan was a prodigy of the human race on Xuanhuang Star; the two were natural enemies.
While countless people were discussing the matter on Mount Hunyuan, at the foot of Mount Hunyuan, in the territory of the Xuanhuang Star human race, there was also a constant stream of discussions, especially among the Great Xia camp, where many people were muttering to themselves in shock.
"It's Chi Wudi from Blood Blade Valley. Lin Xuan is in big trouble now."
"Lin Xuan is so unlucky! He actually ran into Chi Wudi, who is also eyeing our Xuanhuang Star."
"Hmph... It's mainly because Lin Xuan is too arrogant, otherwise things wouldn't have come to this."
...
Within the human territory, many people muttered to themselves, discussing the matter animatedly. Others were communicating telepathically, their faces grim.
And at this moment!
At the summit, Chi Wudi's eyes narrowed to slits, his gaze towards Lin Xuan as sharp as a blade, as if he wanted to tear Lin Xuan to pieces.
His voice was as cold as a knife as he said, "Lin Xuan, is that it? You're really arrogant. Today I'll show you what it means to be outmatched. With me here, you can forget about leaving your name on this Primordial Monument."
"Hehe, there are always people better than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. You're right, today I'll give it to you."
Lin Xuan chuckled, raised his hand, and immediately unleashed a slash.
Clang...
The sound of a blade echoed through the sky. The Jingzhe Blade, carrying a chilling aura, pierced through the void and slashed directly towards Chi Wudi. The hundred-zhang-long blade aura instantly tore through the sky, leaving a long trail of light as it cleaved through the air before landing directly above Chi Wudi's head.
The surrounding sky shattered at an alarming speed, a sharp force swept across, instantly stirring up a terrifying storm. Chi Wudi's expression changed drastically; the power of Lin Xuan's strike sent chills down his spine and filled him with trepidation.
He finally realized that Lin Xuan's strength was not bad, and was even somewhat astonishing.
His eyes narrowed, and as he raised his hand, a terrifying demonic aura surged forth, transforming into a massive tiger above his head.
Hoo hoo...
With a roar, the tiger opened its massive jaws and swallowed Lin Xuan's wisp of sword energy whole. In just a moment, the tiger was burst open by the sword energy it had swallowed, and with a deafening boom, countless sword energies swept out, transforming into a terrifying storm that once again swept towards Chi Wudi.
"not good!"
Chi Wudi's face was contorted with rage, his whole body trembled, and he raised his hand to slash out with his sword.
Clang...
The sound of blades rang out, and a hundred-foot-long blade of energy condensed and collided fiercely with the blade energy unleashed by Lin Xuan. In the blink of an eye, the two forces exploded almost simultaneously, tearing through the sky.
Chi Wudi's expression darkened. He was about to strike Lin Xuan again when, at that critical moment, Lin Xuan suddenly vanished from his spot. Instantly, Chi Wudi felt a tremor run through his body as an aura of death enveloped him, causing him to shudder uncontrollably.
Damn it!
He let out a low growl, and almost instinctively raised his hand, slashing horizontally with his blade. However, there was nothing in the sky where he slashed; Lin Xuan appeared mysteriously to his left, the Jingzhe Blade striking him with astonishing force.
Then came a loud bang, and Chi Wudi was sent flying.
"Damn it, damn it..."
His body was almost torn apart. Chi Wudi was in mid-air, and his anger surged up. His battered body was instantly covered by an astonishing demonic aura, and his body expanded rapidly, actually manifesting a demonic form.
It transformed into a flying tiger with two wings on its back, and with a flap of its wings, it roared towards Lin Xuan.
