Xiong Ba was traveling along the edge of the spatial rift. His figure was as transparent as a mirror, and if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to tell that there was a person there.
His body seemed to blend seamlessly with his surroundings, without any flaws to be found. His steps were light and steady, as if a gentle breeze could blow him away, yet he remained as firm as a rock, undisturbed by any external influences.
If others' lightness skill can be described as moving like a rabbit and retreating like a god, then even describing Xiong Ba's lightness skill as fleeting and without a trace is insufficient to explain it!
His movements were graceful and natural, his speed was extremely fast, and his footsteps were like those of a ghost, making him impossible to predict.
Moreover, Xiong Ba's movements were silent and stealthy, as if he did not exist in this world.
Xiong Ba's lightness skill had reached its pinnacle; his body and soul seemed to have merged with the spatial rift.
Although he couldn't yet freely traverse the spatial rifts, the resistance and danger he faced were far less than others. This was why he was able to reach the final round. His speed might not be comparable to those from the Immortal Realm, but he was confident that, apart from Meng Fan, no one in the Cloud Palace could rival his agility.
On the edge of this spatial rift, Xiong Ba traversed it alone, his heart filled with no fear or worry, only longing for the exit in the middle.
He knew that once he crossed the threshold, he could very well become the First Elder of Yunxiao Palace!
The Sweeping Monk Cao Zhengchun and his companion gave him this opportunity. Seeing that Youquan and Huli were eliminated and Cao Zhengchun was exhausted, he knew that his chance had come!
This is a golden opportunity. If he doesn't seize it and give it his all, Xiong Ba may regret it for the rest of his life. Although the chances of success are slim, once he gets in, it will change the course of his life!
Meng Fan has been teaching alone for ten years. He is confident that he can reach the level of Earth Immortal or even Heaven Immortal. He might even be able to fight his way to the level of Profound Immortal. When he does, he will follow Meng Fan to conquer the starry sky. What a sight that will be! Wouldn't that be more exciting than being in this poor and remote place?
As Youquan and Huli were eliminated, Xiongba pushed his body to its limit. It wasn't about how fast he was, but rather how his body and space constantly shifted, making him more concealed and harder to detect!
He understood that if he wanted to steal a chicken from the two immortals, he couldn't rely on speed; that was a last resort. He could only conceal himself and proceed slowly!
Xiong Ba's focus is on lightness skills. He believes that speed is the only way to break through all martial arts. Moreover, the elders of Yunxiao Palace are focused on improving their offensive power. Each of them is a top figure in their respective world and is full of talent. No matter how high Xiong Ba's talent is, he can only be on par with them.
To stand out from the crowd, he had to be different. So he took a different approach and focused on speed. Over the years, he integrated dozens of top-level lightness skills and collected most of the world's lightness skills. Through his own efforts, he created his own unique skill.
As he moved swiftly, he approached the central gate. The spatial rifts around him became even denser, and even the four immortals, who had been here for almost a month, dared not be the first to enter.
Although it was because they were afraid of being plotted against, it also illustrates the danger of this place.
The spatial rift's suction power grew stronger and stronger, like a whale swallowing the sea, accepting everything without exception. Moreover, the closer one got to the portal, the faster the rift moved, becoming completely unpredictable. The speed of the spatial rifts around the portal was even more exaggerated, so fast that they could not be seen clearly with the naked eye and could only be observed carefully with divine sense. Therefore, the mental effort required to enter the portal was also increasing.
Xiong Ba's lightness skill could be called a first-class immortal technique. It was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes advancing and sometimes retreating, without any pattern. Although he moved slowly, he was still moving steadily. It looked like he was taking a leisurely stroll, but only he knew the dangers involved.
Having already reached the center, he was sweating profusely. The mental exertion required here was even greater. In a moment of distraction, his transparent figure was briefly revealed. Although he concealed it again in an instant, it could not escape the divine sense of the two great immortals!
"Xiongba, how dare you! Die!"
"This action is contrary to the principles of fairness and integrity, and I do not want to see you go down the wrong path!"
Cao Zhengchun and the sweeping monk opened their eyes wide and shouted.
They never expected that Xiong Ba, a mere mortal, could steal a chicken right under their noses, and even get to the center position. How could they not be furious!
The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman benefits; the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. They don't want to be the snipe and the clam, nor the mantis; they only want to be the ones who get the last bite of the cake!
They fought with all their might to finally eliminate two formidable opponents, so how could they let someone else take the fruits of victory!
Cao Zhengchun shot off in a burst of speed, while the Sweeper Monk transformed into a rainbow from the other side and sped toward Xiong Ba.
Xiong Ba has reached the center, where there are numerous spatial rifts. They cannot cast spells from a distance, so they have to go there in person to capture him.
They were much faster than Xiong Ba and quickly passed through the outer perimeter. However, as the number of spatial rifts increased, they had to slow down.
When Xiong Ba saw the two immortals approaching him, he knew that time was running out. He glanced at the gate, which was only three zhang away, and bit his tongue to try to stay awake. His mental energy was being drained, leaving him extremely tired.
Seeing that Cao Zhengchun was almost in front of him and had reached out his right hand to touch his body, Xiong Ba suddenly accelerated and, as the spatial rift swallowed him, his left hand had already reached into the portal.
Buzz!
A booming sound rang out, and Xiong Ba's figure was sucked into the portal.
Two beams of light shone from the small cave onto the Sweeper Monk and Cao Zhengchun, who then disappeared from the spot in extreme resentment!
Sensing something, Meng Fan appeared on the Cloud Platform of the Cloud Palace. With a wave of his right hand, the many elders and disciples who had been locked in the dark room were inexplicably teleported to the arena.
As soon as everyone came out, they started whispering among themselves, as if asking who had won first place in the competition.
Just then, three beams of light appeared, and the figures of Xiong Ba and Cao Zhengchun, the Sweeper Monk, appeared in the arena.
As the saying goes, when enemies meet, their eyes are filled with hatred!
Youquan and Huli stared coldly at Cao Zhengchun and the Sweeper Monk.
"Cao the eunuch, do you dare to fight me to the death?"
Seeing that Cao Zhengchun was extremely weak at this moment, Youquan thought it was the perfect time to take advantage of his illness and said first.
Tiger Power stepped forward, stared at the sweeping monk, and said, "Bald monk, from today onwards, Taoism and Buddhism will not coexist. Today's grudge will be avenged another day."
Cao Zhengchun completely ignored Youquan, while the sweeping monk chanted a Buddhist prayer and then remained silent.
Youquan and Huli exchanged a glance, feeling puzzled. How could Cao Zhengchun, with his fiery temper, possibly tolerate such behavior when they both seemed ready to die? The Sweeper Monk looked distressed, as if someone owed him hundreds of millions.
