Chapter 598 Cao Youqian Suppresses the Heroes 2
"Heaven and Man United."
Wu Ming slowly uttered these four words, and he instantly merged as one with this world.
At this moment, he was like the ruler of this world, and the sword in his hand turned into the sword of judgment of the Heavenly Dao.
The onlookers stared with wide eyes, and a Great Sage of the Sword Dao exclaimed.
"This... This is the highest realm of the Sword Dao; no sword in hand, no sword in heart!"
"Heaven Continent cultivators are indeed extraordinary."
Chu Feng saw this scene, and the corner of his mouth rose slightly. "Coming out this time, this Saint has truly seen quite a few interesting young people."
Sitting beside him, Bing Yan covered her face and smiled, transmitting her voice via Divine Consciousness, "Husband, this person is older than you."
Chu Feng: "..."
Xiao Chen muttered, "A pity, I could not fight him personally."
Liu Yue'er whispered, "Brother Chen, can Senior Brother Cao really defeat that Wu Ming?"
Xiao Chen smiled. "You underestimate Da Qian too much. Here, besides me, no one in the same generation is his match."
His voice had barely faded when Cao Youqian in the sky also spoke, "Heaven and Man United; I know it too."
After speaking, Cao Youqian took half a step forward. The aura on his body instantly vanished without a trace. He was clearly standing there, yet he gave people a feeling of being far away on the horizon, visible but untouchable.
It was as if Cao Youqian had merged as one with the entire Secret Realm.
At the same time, the Nine Cauldrons Secret Realm underwent a strange change.
The entire Secret Realm seemed to be torn apart from the middle.
One half was ruled by Wu Ming, and the other half was controlled by Cao Youqian.
Wu Ming saw this, and a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes, but the precious sword in his hand soon fell.
"Slash!"
Clang!
That sword carried Supreme Heavenly Might, falling toward Cao Youqian like a heavenly punishment.
"Suppress!"
Cao Youqian spat out a word, and the fist in his hand also blasted out.
Boom!
Another loud noise rang out. A fist carrying the World Will of the Nine Cauldrons Secret Realm blasted toward that sword.
It was clearly an unadorned sword and fist, yet they wanted to completely tear apart this world.
The moment the sword and fist collided in the sky, the Secret Realm shook, and space tore apart.
Fortunately, the ten Saints took action together to stabilize this Secret Realm.
After one exchange, the figures of the two disappeared into the horizon.
"What exactly happened?" A Great Sage muttered with terror on his face.
"Just now, those two nearly shattered the Secret Realm. It is very likely they were swept into the spatial cracks, and their life or death is unknown," another older Great Sage explained.
"These two are clearly only at the Nirvana Realm, yet the combat power they erupted with is stronger than ordinary Great Sages. They have even touched the edge of the Dao. The Human Race is flourishing!" A Saint lamented.
Just as everyone was discussing, two figures appeared in the sky again.
After just one exchange, both were extremely wretched.
Cao Youqian's body was covered with traces of sword Qi, and a wound had been cut on his face.
On the other side, Wu Ming was even more wretched. Half his body was beaten to a bloody pulp, and fresh blood slowly dripped onto the ground along the sword in his hand.
He slowly raised the long sword in his hand and said, "You are very strong. Among the opponents I have met in my life, you rank in the top three. I just do not know if you still have the strength to fight again?"
Cao Youqian wiped the blood from his face with his hand and smiled. "This is nothing. Usually, when I fight with Eldest Senior Brother, this is just an appetizer. I can still take ten more swords like yours, but I wonder how many more of my fists you can take."
As he spoke, Immortal Light shone brightly on his body again, and one could not see that he was injured at all.
Wu Ming saw this scene, slightly closed his eyes, and put away the long sword in his hand.
"I lost this battle. However, I did not lose to you in the True Meaning of the Great Dao, but to your body. I did not expect there to be a body cultivator in this world comparable to a Supreme Sacred Artifact."
Cao Youqian cupped his fists and said, "Your Excellency's sword technique is also extraordinary. I can feel that you can still unleash a sword strike that destroys heaven and earth. Why not fight?"
"Because once that sword is sacrificed, the two of us will merely end up with one dead and one injured. It is just a ring competition, not a life-and-death struggle."
Wu Ming had half a sentence left unsaid: once that sword was used, the one who died would be himself.
In the Great Era Struggle, a temporary failure is not a failure. Only the one who laughs last can bear the Heaven's Mandate.
"There is nothing wrong with those words. I hope that one day, I can see that sword of yours."
Cao Youqian said with some regret.
"You would not want to see that sword."
After Wu Ming finished speaking, he turned and walked toward the Divine Sword Sacred Land's camp.
As soon as he landed, his whole person pitched forward and fell to the ground.
The cultivators of the Divine Sword Sacred Land saw this and hurriedly carried him down for treatment.
Cao Youqian still had a smile on his face as he asked, "Who else wants to fight me next?"
Silence. The response to him was a burst of silence.
Whether it was Yi Xi from before or Wu Ming who had just fallen, the strength they displayed made the Sacred Sons and Sacred Daughters of the other Sacred Lands fearful.
But even such strong experts could not defeat Cao Youqian.
Did they really have a chance of winning if they went up now?
Half an hour later, from the Nine Serenities Sacred Land, a man wearing a black robe and a pale gold mask walked out and appeared in the sky.
"Let I, Gui Ming, come up to meet you."
Cao Youqian saw the newcomer and shook his head slightly. "You are not an enemy who can last one round against me. There is no need to come up and embarrass yourself."
As soon as these words came out, Gui Ming instantly flew into a rage. Ignoring etiquette, he struck fiercely.
"World Extinguishing Nether Claw!"
A heaven-supporting nether claw descended from the sky toward Cao Youqian.
Cao Youqian saw this and merely threw a casual punch. The moment he crushed that nether claw, he also sent Gui Ming flying.
He watched Gui Ming land in the Nine Serenities Sacred Land's camp and could not help but sigh. "Sigh... I told you, why wouldn't you listen to advice?"
???
The people present looked at Cao Youqian with expressions of astonishment. This guy really deserved a beating. It was clearly this kid who provoked everyone, yet he still pretended to be an honest person.
Next, the geniuses of the other Sacred Lands challenged Cao Youqian one after another, but unexpectedly, not a single one was an enemy who could last one round.
After Cao Youqian fought in rotation, he shrugged his shoulders and muttered, "This intensity is not even as good as my sparring with Eldest Senior Brother in the sect. Boring, boring. You guys play by yourselves."
After speaking, Cao Youqian turned and returned to the Asking the Dao Academy's camp, leaving behind a group of Sacred Sons and Sacred Daughters with eyes splitting with rage.
Cao Youqian looked at the expressions of those fellows, and the corners of his mouth rose involuntarily. He thought to himself: This Sacred Son likes this look of you guys wanting to kill me but being unable to kill me.
For a time, the atmosphere in the entire Nine Cauldrons Secret Realm became somewhat subtle.
Fortunately, there were ten Saints sitting in command, so no trouble arose.
Great Sage Zhan Sheng stood up again and said, "Since no one challenges anymore, this Ten Saints Grand Competition ends here. This Saint announces that the winner of this Ten Saints Grand Competition is Cao Youqian. Does anyone have objections?"
