"Let's begin!" Sect Mistress said lightly.
At this moment, Firecloud Contention felt a little weird. This was because when he looked at this young and beautiful Sect Master, he suddenly felt that she was unfathomable. Looking up at a high mountain, he felt that she was like a vast ocean.
Firecloud Contention gritted his teeth and soared into the air. Emperor realm experts could already soar in the air, but not for a long period of time. If he wanted to travel, he would need a flying mount or a flying treasure.
"Be careful, Blazing Sky!"
Blazing Sky!
Fire droplets formed in the air and hung in the air like burning stars. These sparks seemed to be connected to each other, forming a huge fire net that surrounded the Fire Cloud Struggle. At that moment, he looked like a blazing god of war that walked out of the flames.
His aura surged!
Sect Master Lang Ya waved her immortal sword and the surrounding was filled with water vapor. She floated above the vast ocean as the water around her surged violently. She then swung her sword.
Flood Current!
Roar!
A deafening roar shook the sky. The current was like a huge ferocious beast, crushing the sky and rushing towards Firecloud Contention.
Qinchuan was watching from below and was incomparably shocked. Emperor realm experts were really powerful. Their attacks contained the Great Dao, and there was a mysterious power within. It was said that it was the power of the Emperor Realm. As long as one entered the Emperor realm, he or she would have such power. This was also a symbol of the Emperor realm, an important symbol that surpassed the King realm.
The power of the Emperor Realm!
Firecloud Contention's expression changed as if he was shocked by the Sect Mistress' casual attack. He swung his Yin Fire Sword.
Yin Fire Eclipse!
A stream of gray, gloomy, fiery energy rushed toward the Primordial Water current.
Boom!
Boom!
A huge explosion soared into the sky. Elemental Qi scattered in all directions. The Sect Mistress' Lang Ya sword stabbed forward.
Water Goddess Pathfinder!
A whirlpool-like stream of water brought with it a mysterious halo. The color of the water was golden, and it continuously spiraled forward. It wasn't fast, but it caused people's hearts to tremble. That aura, that charm was unstoppable.
Such a strong suction force. This was the power of the water realm.
She could actually release such power. Although it was a weak water realm, it was still terrifying. Firecloud Contention didn't dare to take it head-on. He kept dodging, but he realized that it wasn't that easy to dodge.
Fire Storm!
The Firecloud Contending Sword spun and a huge cloud of fire flew out, smashing towards the whirlpool of golden water.
Water and fire intersected, entangling and devouring each other silently.
However, the aura it emitted was incomparably shocking. It was too powerful, too terrifying.
Qinchuan had been watching intently all this time. The might of an Emperor Level expert could not be compensated for by anyone below the Emperor Level. Even the current Qinchuan felt that the gap between a King Level expert and an Emperor Level expert would be difficult to bridge. The power of the Emperor Path Metal Yuan was too important. This was a kind of Great Way, a Great Way that belonged to an Emperor Level expert. Moreover, it could be integrated into one's body, and its realm would be extraordinarily high.
An Emperor Stage martial artist was much stronger than a King Stage martial artist. If one wanted to challenge a weak Emperor Stage martial artist at a high King Stage realm, one would need to meet extremely harsh conditions. For example, it might be possible for someone like Qinchuan. After all, he had a Divine Physique and a Divine Golden Divine Pupil inheritance.
Even if it was possible, Qinchuan had to be at the peak of the King Stage. For example, a Ninth Stage Human King would have to challenge the weakest Emperor Stage martial artist. Moreover, it would be the lowest Emperor Stage realm.
The divide between Emperor Stage and King Stage was even more terrifying. Out of 100,000 King Stage martial artists, there might not even be one Emperor Stage martial artist.
Even in a super sect like the Celestial Qilin Divine Institute, there were only around 30 Emperor Stage martial artists. In the nine branches, there were only two or three on average.
However, there were many King Stage experts in the Celestial Qilin Divine Institute. This also showed how difficult it was to advance from King Stage to Emperor Stage.
Qinchuan was envious. He didn't know how long it would take for him to become an Emperor Stage existence.
The female sect master's silhouette was like a graceful swan on the vast ocean. She was like a temporary immortal. Every strike of the Lang Ya Immortal Sword was earth-shattering. At the beginning, Firecloud Contending Sword was still able to resist. But now, the sect master's strength was a notch above Firecloud Contending Sword. In addition, water countered fire. The more they fought, the more powerless they became. It was obvious that they were on the losing side.
Water flowed downwards. Water was an innate spirit that borrowed momentum. It borrowed wind, momentum, mountains, topography, pervasive and profound.
Water Overturns the Heavens!
The female sect master attacked again. Her longsword pointed towards Firecloud Contending Sword. A drop of sparkling and translucent water flew out.
It was multicolored like a celestial dew. It carried a profound and mysterious power.
Firecloud Contending Sword's expression changed. He turned his Yin Fire Sword around to block. A faint fire shield appeared.
Boom!
But even so, that multicolored water droplet easily passed through the fire shield. The fire shield was immediately extinguished.
The multicolored water droplet continued forward and collided with Firecloud Contending Sword.
A halo rose.
The substitution talisman's effect appeared.
The battle ended.
Firecloud Contending Sword lost!
This result was out of everyone's expectations. No one would have thought that Firecloud Contending Sword would lose. Because he was the strongest existence in the Celestial Qilin Divine Institute in name. But now, he was defeated. It seemed to be a complete defeat. Whereas the sect master won so easily.
Firecloud Contending Sword was stunned. He couldn't understand why his opponent's strength suddenly increased so much. Talismans, talismans wouldn't increase by so much. But other than this reason, he couldn't think of any other reason.
That outer sect disciple.
The problem was with that outer sect disciple. But could a puny 3rd stage Human King have such ability?
This was the biggest blow to him. Even if he won the others, it was meaningless. His face had already been swept to the ground. He couldn't beat the sect master in cultivation, so he didn't have the qualifications to force the sect master to abdicate.
"Firecloud House Head, when will the next match begin?" The female sect master said calmly.
At this moment, Firecloud Contending Sword was distracted. He lost one on one and there was a high chance he would lose in 5 on 5. He would definitely lose in forging. Talismans, that young man's talisman ability was really weird and it wouldn't be easy to win. There was also the formation. If that was the case, it would be too difficult for his side to win. But at this stage, he could only continue and hope that they could win 5 on 5. That way, he might be able to get back some face.
"Sect Master is strong and is very low profile. He isn't like some people who rely on their age. The gap between them is just too huge."
"That's right. Before the old sect master died, he told him to assist the sect master. Now, he wants to take the position himself. Unfortunately, he lacks the ability!"
"Sect Master is an expert. He doesn't reveal himself and is the perfect goddess in my heart. She is strong, beautiful, and an immortal. I am willing to shed my blood for the sect master."
"House Head Huo is really a hypocrite!"
…
Now, the four sects where the sect master was had suddenly cleared up after the rain. That kind of feeling was like sweet dew falling from the sky after three years of drought. That kind of feeling was like a cool breeze blowing on a scorching hot day.
"Let's start in half an hour!" Firecloud Contending Sword said. His attitude had already turned respectful.
The sect master walked down the stage and walked towards Qinchuan.
