Chapter 748

Trash is worse than trash.

The Azure Dragon Qi in Zhuowen's body had almost been completely absorbed and refined by him. Logically speaking, Zhuowen should have woken up by now.

However, Xiao Hei had used her own power to form an ink-colored membrane on the surface of Zhuowen's meridians. This membrane could store the Azure Dragon Qi that had escaped.

Originally, with Zhuowen's strength, he would have been able to absorb 05% of the Azure Dragon Qi. However, with the membrane formed by Xiao Hei's power, Zhuowen could use the remaining 05%. This was also the reason why Zhuowen had been able to hold on until now.

Standing before the altar, the Qing Emperor's deep eyes glanced at Zhuowen. There was a hint of contemplation in his eyes.

Rumble!

A terrifying aura, like that of a ferocious beast, filled the entire hall. The majestic throne room seemed to tremble violently because of this aura.

Qing Yan, who had been sitting cross-legged in the hall, slowly opened his eyes and looked up at the sky. There was a hint of sadness in his eyes. Then, the terrifying aura receded like the tide.

"You want to break through to the Xuanzun Realm? Now is not enough. However, with your cultivation level, this day will not be too far away!"

The Qing Emperor stared at Qing Yan with a smile. Qing Yan had almost been able to communicate with the heavens and earth. At that time, a Nascent Soul would have descended from the void and allowed Qing Yan to completely transform into a powerhouse of the Xuanzun Realm.

Unfortunately, Qing Yan had woken up too early. The energy he had absorbed was not enough for him to communicate with the heavens and earth. This was also why Qing Yan looked disappointed.

When the Qing Emperor said this, the other seven geniuses in the hall were shocked. The Qing Emperor's words undoubtedly indicated that Qing Yan already had the qualifications to break through to the Xuanzun Realm. It was just that he was not mature enough.

When they thought of the terrifying aura that had burst out of Qing Yan's body, which was far more powerful than the peak of the Ultimate Nine-Wheel Emperor Realm, it was obvious that Qing Yan had reached the level of half a step into the Xuanzun Realm.

In just a few months, in an environment with abundant energy, Qing Yan had a ninety percent chance of becoming a Mystique Venerable One.

Qing Yan nodded and didn't say anything. He was clear about his own situation. After this Marquis Battle, he planned to go back to the Azure Dragon Subsidiary Hall to cultivate in seclusion. When the time came, he would break through to the Xuanzun Realm in one go.

Once he reached the Xuanzun Realm, Qing Yan would be able to materialize his dragon soul. At that time, Qing Yan would be invincible in the Xuanzun Realm. He might even be able to fight against a Supremacy.

The other seven people looked at Qing Yan with fear in their eyes. Qing Yan had a terrifying dragon soul and was now half a step into the Xuanzun Realm. Huangfu Wudao was probably the only one who could suppress this person!

After all, martial artists with Dragon Souls would undergo a transformation after reaching the realm of Four Venerables. Their strength would increase by leaps and bounds, and it would be easier for them to fight those of a higher realm.

The corners of Qing Yan's mouth curled up when he felt the other seven people's gazes. There was a trace of complacency in his eyes as he glanced at Huangfu Wudao, who was not far away.

Among the Ten Great Geniuses, the only one that he was afraid of was the First Prince, Huangfu Wudao. Even though he had a dragon soul, he still felt a little helpless against Huangfu Wudao.

Although he could guess that Huangfu Wudao might be able to last longer than him, there was still a trace of a desire to compete in his heart.

Now, seeing that Huangfu Wudao was still sitting cross-legged, Qing Yan's eyes flickered and his brows were slightly furrowed. There was a faint trace of unwillingness in his heart.

Qing Yan shook his head and was about to get up when his gaze suddenly fell on another figure not far away from Huangfu Wudao. His entire body froze on the spot. His gaze was even more stunned as he remained motionless.

This was because other than Huangfu Wudao, there was another person sitting cross-legged in the center of the hall. He was still silently refining the Azure Dragon Qi, and there was no sign of him getting up.

"It's him?"

Qing Yan's pupils shrank as he immediately recognized that figure. It was the genius of Muqin County, Zhuowen.

This Zhuowen had left quite a deep impression on him. In the group stage, he had consecutively killed the number one geniuses of the Feng and Cao Families, Feng Yong and Cao Yan. In the top five battles, he had even defeated the Second Prince, Huangfu Wuji, and entered the top five.

Although this was the case, Qing Yan still did not place Zhuowen in his eyes. Feng Yong, Cao Yan and Huangfu Wuji were no different from trash in his eyes. If he were to take action, he would be able to defeat the three of them in one move.

Therefore, Qing Yan did not care too much about Zhuowen. But now, the Zhuowen that he did not care about was actually able to last longer than him while refining the Azure Dragon Qi. Qing Yan was naturally unconvinced.

"Is this kid putting on an act?"

Qing Yan frowned as he found an excuse for himself. Then, he slowly walked up to a pillar on the side of the hall. He silently observed the two figures sitting cross-legged in the center of the hall.

Time passed slowly. With a muffled sound, Zhuo Wen, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly burst forth with a terrifying aura. At that moment, Zhuo Wen had broken through again. He had broken through to the Ultimate Emperor Realm.

Nine heavenly tribulation wheels gathered in the sky. However, with the Azure Emperor guarding them, these nine heavenly tribulation wheels were simply unable to do anything and were directly annihilated.

"Why is this little bastard still refining the Azure Dragon Qi?"

Huangfu Wuji's pupils shrank. Zhuowen's cultivation had originally been at the peak of the Ultimate Emperor Realm. But now, after absorbing the Azure Dragon Qi, he had directly soared to the Ultimate Emperor Realm. Everyone knew that Zhuowen's utilization of the Azure Dragon Qi was much higher than theirs. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to break through so quickly.

"This kid is quite interesting." The Azure Emperor nodded. He was becoming more and more interested in Zhuowen.

Another half a day passed. After Zhuowen broke through to the Ultimate Emperor Realm, his aura continued to rise until it reached the late stage of the Ultimate Emperor Realm.

When his aura soared to the late stage of the Ultimate Emperor Realm, it finally stopped increasing. Zhuowen slowly opened his eyes, revealing an unconcealable joy.

He could clearly feel that his current aura was much stronger than it had been at the beginning.

"Late-stage Ultimate Emperor Realm?"

Zhuowen's eyes flashed. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. This time, the Azure Dragon Qi had been of great help to him.

Of course, he knew that the main reason he was able to break through so quickly was because of Xiao Hei.

If Xiao Hei hadn't sealed and stored the dissipating Azure Dragon Qi, allowing him to use the Azure Dragon Qi to 655%, he wouldn't have been able to reach the Ultimate Emperor Realm. At most, he would have been at the peak of the Ultimate Emperor Realm.

Grand Lily's pretty face gradually darkened. She hadn't expected Zhuowen to benefit so much from the Azure Dragon Qi. His cultivation had advanced so quickly that he had also reached the late stage of the Ultimate Emperor Realm.

She knew that if she were to fight against Zhuowen now, it would be difficult to predict the outcome. After all, their cultivation was the same. Moreover, Zhuowen had Fifth Grade Spiritual Power. It would be very difficult to deal with Zhuowen.

Slowly getting up, Zhuowen walked to the side of the main hall. He wasn't in a hurry to leave the main hall. Instead, he waited in the main hall like the other geniuses. His gaze was focused on Huangfu Wudao.

Zhuowen knew very well that Huangfu Wudao's cultivation was unfathomable. His strength was abnormally terrifying. Even a border general at the peak of the Ultimate Emperor Realm had been killed in one move. Zhuowen guessed that Huangfu Wudao's cultivation should be half a step into the Xuanzun Realm.

With such a cultivation, coupled with the opportunity he had obtained from the Azure Dragon Qi, it was very likely that Huangfu Wudao would directly break through to the Xuanzun Realm.

Although Zhuowen had seen many experts from the Xuanzun Realm, he had never seen the process of a cultivator breaking through to the Xuanzun Realm. Therefore, Zhuowen naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity to see it. After all, it would be very beneficial for him to advance to the Xuanzun Realm in the future.

"You're Zhuowen?"

When Zhuowen walked to Qing Yan's side, Qing Yan suddenly spoke with his back against the purple gold pillar. This caused Zhuowen's footsteps to falter slightly. He tilted his head to look at Qing Yan and said, "What's the matter?"

Zhuowen's reply caused Qing Yan's eyes to narrow slightly. He said indifferently, "I'm just curious. How can you refine the Azure Dragon Qi for so long?

You're just a piece of trash whose strength is inferior to mine. You shouldn't be able to surpass me in terms of time. "

Qing Yan was still a little resentful that Zhuowen had lasted longer than him in the Azure Dragon Qi. His voice was slightly provocative at this moment.

A cold glint flashed across Zhuo Wen's eyes when Qing Yan's words were spoken. How could he not know what Qing Yan was thinking at this moment. It was likely that Qing Yan had originally thought highly of himself. Now that he was surpassed by this unknown brat in terms of refining the green dragon aura, Zhuo Wen felt somewhat displeased in his heart.

"But the truth is that you lasted shorter than me in refining the Azure Dragon Qi, right?

And then you say I'm a piece of trash?

Since you can't even compare to a piece of trash like me, then what are you? "

Zhuowen turned his head and stared at Qing Yan. He suddenly retorted, causing Qing Yan's expression to freeze.

He said that Zhuowen was a piece of trash, but in reality, he did not last as long as Zhuowen in refining the Azure Dragon Qi. His words were simply slapping his own face.

"Haha!

You can't even compare to a piece of trash like me, and you actually have the face to put on that high and mighty attitude of yours in front of me!

Little do you know that in my opinion, you're worse than a piece of trash. "

Speaking up to here, Zhuowen's voice suddenly became clear and loud, causing the gazes of the other geniuses in the main hall to converge on him.

Through the Azure Dragon Mask, Qing Yan's eyes narrowed slightly. There was a trace of a piercingly cold light flickering within. This Zhuowen in front of him really dared to say anything. No wonder he even dared to kill Cao Yan and Feng Yong. He was indeed extremely daring.

"Good, good!

I rather admire your courage and insight, but you have to know that people like you who surpass others basically won't live for long. "Qing Yan suddenly said in a cold voice.

"Oh!

Are you done?

If you're done, then you can shut up. "

Zhuowen's expression was indifferent. After he finished speaking, he directly brushed past Qing Yan. He was too lazy to speak with a genius like Qing Yan who thought too highly of himself.

Creak!

Qing Yan clenched his fists slightly, and a deep chill appeared in his eyes. Zhuo Wen didn't give him any face at all. If it weren't for the fact that they were in the Throne Room, he would have killed this guy who spoke nonsense on the spot.

"What a stupid little bastard. He even dares to offend Qing Yan. When the time comes, he will suffer."

The small disturbance between Qing Yan and Zhuowen was naturally seen by the other geniuses on the other side of the main hall. Among them, Huangfu Wuji's eyes were filled with schadenfreude.

Huangfu Wuji did not deliberately lower his voice. Everyone in the main hall could clearly hear him.

"A piece of trash like you thinks you have the qualifications to jump around in front of me?"
