Armor Soul Hydra
"Zhuowen, you little bastard, how dare you!" Huangfu Wuji glared at Zhuowen, his voice growing colder and colder.
Huangfu Wuji was the Second Prince and had an honorable status. Yet, in Zhuowen's mouth, he had been reduced to trash. How could Huangfu Wuji not be angry?
"What?
You want to fight? "
Staring at Huangfu Wuji, the corners of Zhuowen's lips curled up. His voice grew colder and his eyes contained a trace of killing intent.
If Huangfu Wuji dared to attack, then Zhuowen could immediately counterattack. Like this, he would have enough reason to cripple Huangfu Wuji. After all, with his current strength, Huangfu Wuji simply wasn't his match.
Although Huangfu Wuji was the Second Prince, the Blue Emperor didn't place as much importance on him as Huangfu Wudao. Moreover, Zhuowen's talent far surpassed Huangfu Wuji's.
If Huangfu Wuji attacked first and was then crippled by Zhuowen, then Zhuowen knew that it was impossible for the Blue Emperor to make things difficult for him. After all, he was currently one of the top five geniuses on the Blue Emperor proclamation. Moreover, he was on the side of reason.
As these words came out, Huangfu Wuji froze. He was only at the peak of the Ultimate Emperor realm. As for Zhuowen, he had relied on the energy of the Azure Dragon to break through to the late Ultimate Emperor realm.
The difference between the two was like the heavens and the earth. Would Huangfu Wuji dare to attack Zhuowen?
"Your Highness Second Prince, I, Zhuowen, challenge you to a life or death battle. Do you dare to accept?"
Zhuowen stepped forwards, his eyes fixed on Huangfu Wuji. His voice was clear and resonant, like a great bell that rumbled through the entire hall.
Life or death battle?
The other geniuses all looked at Zhuowen in shock. They all knew that when Zhuowen's cultivation was at the peak of the Ultimate Emperor realm, he had already been able to defeat Huangfu Wuji.
Now, Zhuowen's cultivation had risen in a straight line, reaching the late Ultimate Emperor realm. As for Huangfu Wuji, he was only at the peak of the Ultimate Emperor realm. If the two of them fought in a life or death battle, Huangfu Wuji would undoubtedly suffer a crushing defeat!
Huangfu Wuji's pupils shrank to the size of needles. He stubbornly glared at Zhuowen, all the hairs on his body standing on end. His complexion was gloomy to the extreme.
How could the current him dare to fight Zhuowen to the death? There was no doubt that he would lose this battle.
"Your Highness, I, Zhuowen, challenge you to a battle of life and death!"
Zhuowen stepped forwards, his eyes still locked onto Huangfu Wuji. His voice was as cold as ice, and a terrifying aura swept out, causing Huangfu Wuji to involuntarily take a step back.
Looking at the retreating Huangfu Wuji, Zhuowen sneered and restrained his terrifying aura. He faintly said, "Was I wrong to call you trash?
You don't even dare to accept my deathmatch, what right do you have to bark like a dog in front of me? "
Zhuowen's words were loud and clear, each word striking at the heart. Huangfu Wuji's complexion alternated between green and white. In particular, the surrounding geniuses all had strange looks in their eyes, causing Huangfu Wuji to feel even more ashamed.
He, Huangfu Wuji, the dignified Second Prince of the Imperial Family, had actually been scared into retreating because of a few words from Zhuowen. To him, this was simply a great shame.
However, he didn't dare to accept the challenge, nor did he dare to speak. Zhuowen had already reached the peak of his strength, and he simply wasn't his match. Accepting the challenge was undoubtedly bringing about his own destruction.
Zhuowen shook his head, looking at Huangfu Wuji with ridicule in his eyes. Then, he arrived at the closest purple gold pillar, silently watching the center of the hall, where there was only one figure sitting cross-legged there.
Huangfu Wuji also dejectedly retreated to a corner, but the hatred in his eyes became even more intense.
Bang!
A sound like muffled thunder exploded in the air. Then, a terrifying aura spread out like a tsunami, filling the entire hall.
Suddenly, the air around the entire hall seemed to freeze. A terrifying gravity filled the entire hall.
Zhuowen's body sank, his knees slightly bent. If he hadn't circulated his energy in advance, then he would have been in an extremely difficult situation under this sudden gravity.
"What a terrifying aura. Is Huangfu Wudao about to break through?"
Zhuo Wen's gaze focused slightly as he stared at the figure that sat cross-legged at the center of the hall. At this moment, Huangfu Wudao's eyes suddenly opened, and a sharp bright light flickered within them like the stars in the night sky.
Then, Huangfu Wudao slowly stood up, looking up at the sky. An even more terrifying aura surged out, gathering above Huangfu Wudao. Finally, it formed a huge pillar of light that soared into the sky.
"Communicating with Heaven and Earth!"
On the altar, Emperor Qing looked at the pillar of light that soared into the sky, and a trace of joy appeared in his eyes. He knew that Huangfu Wudao was about to break through to the Xuanzun Realm!
Zhuowen, Qing Yan, and the other geniuses around the hall also raised their heads, staring at the pillar of light that soared into the sky.
At the same time, all the warriors in the Imperial Capital also raised their heads, looking up at the huge pillar of light. Most of them had already guessed what was going on.
"Someone has broken through to the Xuanzun Realm!"
On the high platform in the square, many powerful figures also looked up at the sky. They naturally knew that one of the Top Ten Geniuses had broken through to the Xuanzun Realm under Emperor Qing's empowerment!
"It should be Huangfu Wudao. Before the empowerment, Huangfu Wudao was already half a step into the Xuanzun Realm. Now, after the empowerment, he should be able to break through to the Xuanzun Realm directly!"
Everyone guessed that the person who had broken through should be Huangfu Wudao. After all, Huangfu Wudao's strength and cultivation were obvious to everyone. Under Emperor Qing's empowerment, it would not be difficult for him to break through to the Xuanzun Realm.
Crack!
A crisp sound slowly resounded through the sky. At the end of the pillar of light, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the illusory void, and a light figure slowly descended from the crack.
If one looked closely, this light figure was actually the image of a baby. The baby's face was blurry, and its body was curled up. Its eyes were tightly shut, as if it was still in the womb of a pregnant woman.
"Is this a Nascent Soul?"
Zhuowen's eyes were filled with curiosity as he watched the baby's light figure slowly descend from the crack in the void.
The energy within this Nascent Soul was much denser than that of an Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator. It was an energy bestowed by the heavens. This was also part of the reason why the Four Venerables were much stronger than the Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivators.
Under everyone's gazes, the radiant Nascent Soul finally descended above Huangfu Wudao's head. It then entered his body through his Tianling acupoint.
Boom!
As soon as the Nascent Soul entered his body, the aura within Huangfu Wudao's body became even more terrifying. Countless terrifying gales swept up around his body, and his entire body was filled with a dazzling white light.
In the great hall, except for Emperor Qing, the other nine geniuses could not help but retreat from the gales that were spreading in all directions.
Even Zhuowen had to retreat dozens of steps before he could barely stabilize his body. His gaze landed on Huangfu Wudao's body, and his expression was filled with shock.
Huangfu Wudao was terrifying. He had just advanced to the Xuanzun Realm, but the aura he displayed was actually much stronger than that of an ordinary Xuanzun Realm cultivator.
Aowuu!
The moment the Nascent Soul entered Huangfu Wudao's body, a brutal and terrifying roar burst out from his body. It was as if a terrifying beast had been sealed within Huangfu Wudao's body and was being released at this moment.
Countless purple tentacles gushed out from Huangfu Wudao's body. They were densely packed and covered an area of several meters.
Amidst the countless purple tentacles, a huge purple snake head suddenly swept out from behind Huangfu Wudao.
This purple snake's head was several dozen feet long, and its purple scales reflected a strange purple light under the scorching sun. Two fangs that were several feet long grew out of its mouth, and they emitted a cold light.
"This is Huangfu Wudao's Armor Soul?"
Zhuowen's eyes slowly narrowed as he looked at the purple snake that had suddenly emerged from Huangfu Wudao's body. He could feel a strong sense of danger from the purple snake.
After the first purple snake head emerged, another puffing sound was heard. Then the second purple snake head emerged, followed by the third, the fourth …
When the ninth purple snake head drilled out, this terrifying giant beast suddenly leaped out and completely drilled out of Huangfu Wudao's body. Its enormous body almost blotted out the sky as it floated in mid-air.
Only then did Zhuo Wen see the true face of this giant beast. This giant beast had a huge body, and on its huge body were nine huge purple snake heads.
Nine-Headed Snake!
Huangfu Wudao's Armor Soul was actually a Nine-Headed Snake!
The Nine-Headed Snake was an extremely powerful existence in ancient times. Although it was much weaker than a high-level True Dragon, it was much stronger than most low-level True Dragons. It was a well-known savage beast in ancient times.
Qing Yan's eyes flickered as he looked at the Nine-Headed Snake that floated in mid-air with a dignified expression.
Although he had a Dragon Soul in his body, it was only a third-grade Dragon Soul. In ancient times, a third-grade True Dragon was considered a low-level True Dragon, and its strength was slightly weaker than a Nine-Headed Snake.
Therefore, Huangfu Wudao's Nine-Headed Snake Armor Soul was actually much stronger than Qing Yan's third-grade Dragon Soul. If the two were of the same level, Qing Yan might not be a match for it in a battle.
Moreover, Huangfu Wudao was one step ahead of him and had arrived in the Xuanzun Realm first. It was even more impossible for Qing Yan to be a match for Huangfu Wudao.
Thinking of this, Qing Yan felt a little helpless. He originally thought that after learning the Blue Dragon Hall's unique skill, the Green Dragon Technique, his strength had greatly increased. Coupled with the Dragon Soul in his body, he already had the strength to compete with Huangfu Wudao.
But now it seemed that he was left far behind by Huangfu Wudao. After all, Huangfu Wudao was stronger than him, and so was his Armor Soul. What did he have to compete with Huangfu Wudao?
Awoo!
The Nine-Headed Snake faced the sky and roared. In this long roar, there was an endless joy. Then, the nine heads looked down at Huangfu Wudao, a trace of coldness in their eyes.
"What?
This King has already materialized your Armor Soul. Are you not willing to listen to this King? "
Huangfu Wudao had his hands behind his back as he stared fearlessly at the nine-headed snake above his head. His indifferent and cruel voice slowly resounded.
This Nine-Headed Snake was indeed extraordinary. It actually had a bit of spiritual wisdom, and at this time, it actually showed signs of wanting to devour its master!
Awoo!
The nine-headed snake roared and swooped down toward Huangfu Wudao, all nine heads attacking him at the same time.
"Hehe!
You really are a beast with a personality, but this King likes it. Let this King teach you a good lesson! "
