The Overbearing Huangfu Wudao
The 655 geniuses were divided into 65 groups, each standing on their own arena.
Zhuowen glanced around the other arenas, roughly understanding the situation of the other arenas.
Huangfu Wudao was in the first arena, Qing Yan was in the second arena, Grand Lily was in the third arena, Murong Zhan was in the fourth arena, Qing Ming was in the fifth arena, Guo Sheng was in the sixth arena, Zhu Bai was in the seventh arena, and Huangfu Wuji was in the tenth arena.
The top 65 geniuses of the Azure Emperor Proclamation were mostly assigned to different arenas. But, the eighth arena was extremely different; there were actually two top 65 Azure Emperor Proclamation contestants there.
They were the eighth ranked Feng Yong and the tenth ranked Cao Yan. Therefore, the eighth arena attracted the attention of many people.
"This eighth arena is really unlucky. It was actually assigned to two top 65 Azure Emperor Proclamation contestants. I'm afraid that Feng Yong and Cao Yan will have a fierce battle between a dragon and a tiger!"
"Don't forget, the eighth arena also has Wen Ao Xue.
Wen Ao Xue is the number one genius of the eight great counties, and he is ranked 66th on the Azure Emperor Proclamation. His strength is also not weak. "
"There is also that Zhuowen who suddenly rose up. That boy is also not weak. I'm afraid that he isn't as simple as he seems!
The competition for the eighth arena is probably the most intense out of the ten arenas! "
Complicated discussions immediately sounded around the square. Numerous gazes were thrown towards the number eight arena. Everyone's eyes revealed a heated and expectant expression.
The eighth arena was filled with powerhouses; there would inevitably be a great battle. It was unlike the other arenas where the top 65 geniuses of the Azure Emperor Proclamation dominated. There was no suspense to the outcome.
"This boy is really unlucky. He actually ran into Cao Yan and Feng Yong."
On the tenth martial arena, Huangfu Wuji crossed his arms across his chest. He was high up in the air, looking down at the eighth martial arena with a mocking sneer on his face.
In his opinion, Zhuowen meeting Feng Yong ahead of time meant that he was doomed to lose!
Although Feng Yong's ranking was lower than his, his strength was not bad. Back then, they had been evenly matched. Now that he had broken through, his strength was far higher than Feng Yong's, but Feng Yong's strength could not be underestimated. He was not someone that Zhuowen could resist.
In the third arena, Grand Lily also noticed the situation in the eighth arena. Her eyes were filled with ridicule, but she didn't say a word.
Outside the arena, Lü Hantian and Lü Nantian frowned. They didn't think that Zhuowen would encounter such a strong opponent.
Cao Yan was ranked tenth, and his cultivation level was around the mid-stage of the Seven-wheel Emperor Realm. Lu Hantian knew that with Zhuo Wen's strength, Cao Yan should be able to defeat him.
But Feng Yong was different. Feng Yong was much stronger than Cao Yan. He had a cultivation at the peak of the Extreme Seven-Wheel Emperor realm. His strength was terrifying. Lü Hantian was also worried for Zhuowen.
Zhuowen hadn't mentioned the increase in his martial arts cultivation and mental strength to Lü Hantian. Thus, Lü Hantian still believed that Zhuowen's cultivation was only at the early Extreme Seven-Wheel Emperor realm. Thus, he was a bit worried.
Zhuo Wen naturally heard the discussions around him clearly. However, he did not take it to heart.
With his current strength, entering the top 65 of the Azure Emperor Proclamation wasn't a problem. As for that Feng Yong, Zhuowen didn't care too much about him.
Looking around the ten arenas, Zhuowen also discovered the other geniuses of Muqin County. Lü Yitao was in the ninth arena.
What surprised Zhuowen was that there wasn't anyone in the top 65 of the Azure Emperor Proclamation in the ninth arena. The warriors there were generally weaker.
Lü Yitao was ranked 60th on the Azure Emperor Proclamation. In the ninth arena, his cultivation was considered top-notch. The only person who could pose a threat to him was probably the number one genius of Xijiang County, the Lightless Monk.
The Lightless Monk was ranked 69th on the Azure Emperor Proclamation. He was very low-key and always had a kind smile on his face. His palms were clasped together and he looked very amiable.
Looking at the Lightless Monk in the ninth arena, Zhuowen's eyes narrowed. It was said that Xijiang County worshipped ancient Buddhas and had countless temples. The lord of the county was a Buddha named Withered Lamp Buddha.
What surprised Zhuowen was that the Lightless Monk, who had a kind smile, gave him a feeling that he couldn't see through him. This feeling was very strange. He knew that the Lightless Monk was definitely not simple.
Originally, after obtaining the Nirvana Vairocana, Zhuowen had suspected that there might be a mysterious Buddhism in the Heavenly Armor Continent. Now, it seemed that Buddhism really existed. After all, the warriors in Xijiang County worshipped ancient Buddhas and their dressing was similar to the monks in temples on Earth.
The Lightless Monk, who was standing quietly in the ninth arena, seemed to have noticed Zhuowen's gaze. He slowly tilted his head and stared at Zhuowen. The corners of his mouth curled up into a kind smile as he nodded at Zhuowen.
Zhuowen also nodded in return. However, his heart was heavy. He felt that the Lightless Monk was very strong. The possibility of Lü Yitao defeating the Lightless Monk was very low.
In Muqin County, other than Lü Yitao, Luo Xing and Qing Lian were in the second and fifth arenas respectively. The two of them were unlucky. Their arenas were basically filled with the top 65 geniuses on the Azure Emperor Proclamation.
It was almost impossible for the two of them to stand out in their respective arenas.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Air-rending sounds suddenly flew out from the Throne Room. When the crowd looked over, they realized that there were actually ten figures flying out from the Throne Room.
The ten of them were middle-aged men in armor. Their auras were surging and they were full of killing intent. With one look, one could tell that they were soldiers who had been on the battlefield for many years.
"The ten great generals of the Empire. I didn't expect His Majesty the Azure Emperor to even gather these ten. It seems that he places great importance on this ranking battle!"
The crowd immediately recognized the ten figures that suddenly flew out from the Throne Room. Their faces were filled with shock.
The Qing Xuan Empire had a vast territory. Furthermore, outside the ten borders of the Qing Xuan Empire, there were three other Empires. Their strength was not inferior to the Qing Xuan Empire.
Over the years, the neighboring powers would inevitably have conflicts and wars. Therefore, the Qing Xuan Empire's borders would always have ten generals guarding the ten borders to prevent enemy invasions.
Each of the ten generals was extremely powerful. They were at the peak of the Ultimate Nine-Wheel Emperor Realm. Furthermore, because they had been on the battlefield for many years and killed people like flies, the killing intent on their bodies was terrifying. They could also use this killing intent to suppress martial artists.
Therefore, although these ten generals were only at the peak of the Ultimate Nine-Wheel Emperor Realm, with the killing intent in their bodies and their rich experience, ordinary martial artists in the initial stage of the Xuanzun Realm would probably not be a match for these ten generals.
"Your subordinates pay their respects to His Majesty the Azure Emperor!"
The ten generals in armor suddenly landed in front of the Azure Emperor and knelt on one knee. Their voices were like rolling thunder, resounding through the clouds.
"No need for formalities!
I'll have to trouble the ten of you in this ranking battle. "The Azure Emperor nodded and said rather warmly.
"It's our honor to serve Your Majesty!" The ten generals replied meticulously.
"Mm!
Now that the ranking battle has begun, each of you will be in charge of ten arenas!
As for which arena you want, you can choose it yourselves! "The Azure Emperor smiled faintly.
The ten generals nodded. With a step, they flew toward the center of the square. The ten arenas flew and landed in the center of their respective arenas. They looked down at the ten geniuses below their respective arenas.
Boom!
A terrifying killing intent burst out from the ten generals' bodies. The blood-red killing intent was so substantial that it almost filled the entire arena.
The faces of the geniuses around the arenas turned ugly when they felt the killing intent. Many of them even turned ghastly pale.
"Hmph!
Are you trying to intimidate me?
You're just a border general. Get out of here. "
A domineering and cruel voice suddenly rang out from arena number one. Following which, an unruly figure suddenly flew into the arena. He ignored the killing intent in the surroundings and flew toward the general in the center.
Everyone looked over in shock and discovered that the person who had suddenly attacked was the First Prince, Huangfu Wudao.
The general in arena number one had not expected such an unforeseen event. Looking at the figure that was flying toward him, a cold light flickered in his eyes. He took a step forward, and boundless killing intent condensed into a long spear that was several feet long.
"Kill!"
With a loud shout, the long spear in the general's hand flew out like a horse that had escaped its reins. It instantly pierced toward Huangfu Wudao.
"Hmph!
Insignificant skill. "
Huangfu Wudao was extremely overbearing. The corners of his mouth held a cold smile. With a wave of his right hand, countless cyclones shot out from within his body. They were dense and looked extremely terrifying.
Rumble!
The killing intent spear blasted onto the cyclones and was actually directly frozen. With a crack, the terrifying killing intent spear was actually directly shattered into pieces by the cyclones.
The general's pupils constricted. He never imagined that Huangfu Wudao's strength would actually be so terrifying. He was actually able to so easily annihilate his killing intent spear.
Swoosh!
As soon as the killing intent spear was destroyed, Huangfu Wudao's figure instantly arrived before the general. A cruel smile appeared on the corners of his mouth as his right hand formed into a fist and smashed out. Strands of terrifying cyclones covered his fist, causing the air to whistle as if it was being torn apart.
"Ha!"
The general shouted loudly and similarly smashed out a fist. Blood red killing intent formed a layer of blood red scales on his fist.
Rumble!
The two fists fiercely smashed together. Instantly, a ring-shaped wave of air violently spread out with the two of them as the center. The expressions of the other nine geniuses around arena number one changed drastically as they were pushed back by the wave of air.
Crack!
The hard limestone arena was actually unable to withstand the strength of the two people. Dense cracks began to appear on its surface and continuously spread. In the end, the entire arena collapsed. Countless pieces of rock floated up and dust filled the field of vision.
"What terrifying strength!"
The surrounding people all revealed expressions of shock. The border general was an expert at the peak of the ultimate Ninth Wheel Emperor Realm. With the addition of the killing intent on his body, even an initial stage cultivator of the Xuanzun Realm might not necessarily be a match for this border general.
However, the First Prince, Huangfu Wudao, was actually able to directly clash with this border general and even faintly gain the upper hand.
Thump! Thump!
