None of the geniuses from the Eastern Region recognized who had come up on stage.
The people of Ziwei Academy appeared extremely calm, especially the academy's dean. He knew that Shangguan Ziwei carried the ancient power of cause and effect, and had also received guidance from an elder of the academy, so he was well aware of Shangguan Ziwei's strength and extraordinary nature.
"The renowned Huang wouldn't refuse a request from a nobody like me, would he?"
Shangguan Ziwei's handsome face was as gentle as a spring breeze. His purple robe was spotless and extremely dignified. He seemed to be a world unto himself, and just by standing there, he gave people a feeling of unfathomable depth.
"Not at all, not at all. You are the Ziwei Emperor, the true successor of the Ziwei Academy. What do you want to bet on?"
Li Ming became interested and sized up the other party.
"I won, return the Ziwei Origin to me."
Shangguan Ziwei said calmly, appearing nonchalant on the surface, but in reality, she had already clenched her fists.
His mood at this moment was naturally different from his outward calm. The Ziwei Origin was of vital importance to him, and now that the part of the Ziwei Origin in Li Ming's hands had been completely severed from him, this was undoubtedly a huge blow to him.
I originally thought that even if Li Ming forcibly refined the Ziwei Origin, he could still activate its hidden power, but I didn't expect...
Many of the geniuses in the Eastern Region also became interested at this moment. They thought that no one would challenge the wilderness anymore, but they didn't expect that there would be another good show to watch.
"I wonder how much value is in the title of 'Emperor Ziwei'?"
Ziwei Academy has kept Shangguan Ziwei well hidden. Many people have only heard of her name but have never seen her. When they met her this time, they all thought she was just a hidden genius. They never expected her to have this identity.
Only now, after he revealed his identity, have some people realized what had happened.
"I have heard the legend of Shangguan Ziwei. When he was born, there were extraordinary phenomena in the sky, which shocked all the countries of Daozhou. Purple clouds came from the east for 100,000 miles, and stars shone in the sky..."
"He was hailed as the reincarnation of an emperor, the chosen one of destiny. He once defeated Zhou Yu in a single move, but even among the disciples of Ziwei Academy, not many people knew about this."
Elites from all over the country are discussing Shangguan Ziwei's deeds, information that is difficult for outsiders to obtain.
There are actually quite a few people born with unusual phenomena, but those with such extraordinary abilities are rare.
“That’s not a problem, but…”
Li Ming remained calm and then asked:
What are you betting with?
Since the other party is going to come up and fight, he naturally has nothing to be afraid of.
But the other party has to offer something of equal value, right?
Everyone knows the value of the Ziwei Origin. Even though many people cannot use it, it is undeniable that it is a priceless treasure, enough to be passed down in a sacred place. It is difficult to measure in monetary terms. Of course, the money here refers to the cultivation resource of divine source.
"The Purple Star Sword, or something else, is up to you."
Shangguan Ziwei's eyes were clear, and she answered without hesitation.
Whoosh—
Everyone present was shocked by these words.
"The Purple Star Origin and the Purple Star Sword—I've never seen such precious items wagered before. Is this what top geniuses do in business?"
Most people were greatly shocked, saying it was the first time they had ever seen anything like it.
"No, Ziwei's original power can make the decision. Can Shangguan Ziwei really use the Ziwei Sword as a wager?"
Some people have doubts.
The Ziwei Sword is the treasure of Ziwei Academy and the weapon of the academy's founder. It is ranked among the top-grade divine weapons and is the third of the ten divine swords of the Eastern Region!
It is a treasure coveted by countless sword cultivators.
Even some of the elders and disciples of Ziwei Academy had their eyes flickering and their lips slightly parted, as if to say, "No, are we going to go this far?"
"What Shangguan Ziwei said is exactly what my Ziwei Academy thinks."
The dean of Ziwei Academy also stepped forward at the right time, his loud voice silencing the many voices of discussion.
He also secretly sent a message to the disciples and elders of Ziwei Academy, instructing them to follow Shangguan Ziwei's wishes in everything, as instructed by the founder.
Since he's the founder, there's nothing we can do...
In any power, the strong are respected.
Since the important figures of Ziwei Academy had spoken, they naturally dared not have any objections.
"The Ziwei Sword is quite good, but once I make a move, I will not hold back. You should think carefully."
Li Ming remained calm and composed, his hands behind his back, dressed in white, ethereal as a celestial being.
Shangguan Ziwei paused for a second, then a glint of light flashed in her eyes, and she said in a deep voice:
"If you have the ability to kill me, then naturally no one will bother you."
Buzz~
Almost the instant Shangguan Ziwei finished speaking, a mighty sword light erupted from his body, soaring into the sky as if disappearing into the boundless sea of clouds.
A sword shadow, sharp as an arrow, appeared before him.
The Purple Star Sword!
"He can actually revive the Purple Star Sword?"
"No wonder they have such confidence. Even if the power of a top-grade divine weapon is only in its initial stage of recovery, it can already stand out in the Heaven and Earth Realm."
"However, Huang also possesses a top-grade divine weapon, and an earth-shattering battle is about to erupt between the two!"
The aura of the Ziwei Sword instantly permeated the entire Trial Platform, and even shook the entire Primordial Divine City for tens of thousands of miles.
A vast sea of clouds rolled for tens of thousands of miles, and above the sky, sword intent soared into the heavens, attracting the attention of countless people.
"A fine sword!"
Li Ming looked at the sword, which contained endless sharpness, and nodded.
The supreme divine weapon is extremely powerful and highly spiritual, and it does not require the effort of activating an imperial weapon. It can be said to be the strongest weapon that can be used in the Eastern Region and even the whole world.
If a swordsman at the quasi-emperor level were to wield this sword, he would be able to sweep across the world, and only an imperial weapon could withstand him.
"The Purple Star Heavenly Sword: One sword annihilates the void, two swords make living beings bow, three swords cleave through the ages!"
Shangguan Ziwei murmured softly, directly activating the infinitely powerful divine sword.
At this moment, his eyes were devoid of any emotion, completely empty, like a god who holds the reins of power, utterly indifferent.
Under immense pressure from Li Ming, Shangguan Ziwei was unwilling to wait and planned to strike first, suppressing him with absolute power.
boom!
Three sword shadows appeared in the void.
It was like a phantom, seemingly nonexistent, yet it contained an incomparably mysterious aura.
This is a symbol of divine will, the will of the Great Emperor, possessing an unstoppable, indelible, and ineffable terrifying power.
This peerless genius from Ziwei Academy truly lives up to his reputation as someone destined for imperial power; his methods are far more sophisticated than anyone Li Ming has encountered before.
The appearance of these three sword shadows startled even Li Ming.
Each sword shadow represents a power.
Space, life, time!
As long as you are within this world, belonging to the beings of heaven and earth, and have not transcended time and space, you cannot escape the attack of this sword.
Even immortal powerhouses cannot transcend the effects of time, let alone Li Ming, a mere Martial God of the Heaven and Earth Realm.
