"I underestimated you, but you won't get another chance."
"Sun Flame Jade Immortal Mirror, burn all things, I am invincible!"
Putting away his dismissive attitude, Yan Yan finally revealed his true strength.
His hands, moving in continuous seals, formed mysterious and special runes that merged into the Sun Flame Jade Immortal Mirror.
In the next second, the Sun Flame Jade Immortal Mirror seemed to awaken instantly. Its light pulsed with scorching power, capable of burning all things. This was a fearsome remnant treasure of the fire element.
The mirror light flowed, reaching a scorching thousand degrees, obliterating everything.
Where the mirror light touched, all things ignited, and the surroundings became a sea of fire.
The Sun Flame Jade Immortal Mirror was frantically urged by Yan Yan, its crimson light capable of burning heaven and earth, turning all into ashes. It flashed repeatedly, aiming at Wu Tao, intending to defeat him in one move.
...
On the other side.
Wu Tao's body, due to various reasons, had reached its limit. He only had enough strength for one final attack.
Therefore, this strike had to defeat Yan Yan to secure victory in this battle.
Wu Tao gathered all the spiritual energy within his body into the Chuxi Sword in his hand.
After a long while, he finally unleashed the blow.
Within the Chuxi Sword, there seemed to be a trace of unbeatable swordsmanship, irresistible and unmatched in its offense.
At this moment, a flicker of unease appeared in Yan Yan's eyes. This sword seemed capable of piercing through everything and directly annihilating him.
The Sun Flame Jade Immortal Mirror blazed with fire, driven by Yan Yan's frantic efforts, to block the incoming Chuxi Sword.
This strike was incredibly potent and terrifying; no one could withstand its attack.
After a period of stalemate between Wu Tao and Yan Yan, Wu Tao, due to his delayed attack and severe blood loss, fainted.
Yan Yan successfully advanced to the finals.
...
Another semifinal.
Zhu Hongzhang against Mo Wen.
Although Zhu Hongzhang was young, his array of treasures made him seem like a hedgehog covered in thorns. To Mo Wen, he appeared impregnable, as majestic as a mountain and as unfathomable as the ocean.
Thus, Mo Wen knew he had to end the fight quickly. Otherwise, if this young fellow unleashed all his treasures, he would surely be defeated.
A vast torrent of spiritual energy surged out, centering on Mo Wen and pressing outwards in all directions.
Instantly, the ground began to tremble, and loose stones on the ground shifted.
Next, Mo Wen launched his attack. With a furious slash, accompanied by dragon roars and tiger cries, the Kaiyue Duanji, a remnant treasure in his hand, charged towards Zhu Hongzhang like a wild dragon leaving the sea or a tiger descending from the mountain.
Seeing this, Zhu Hongzhang opened his mouth slightly, clearly looking down on Mo Wen's cleverness.
As Mo Wen charged forward with Kaiyue Duanji, Zhu Hongzhang stood perfectly still.
Mo Wen rejoiced inwardly. With a mental command, the spiritual energy channeled into Kaiyue Duanji intensified by another notch.
The edge of Kaiyue Duanji gleamed under the sun, a dazzling cold light, its aura soaring towards the sky.
Kaiyue Duanji thrust forward, accelerating rapidly, transforming into an incredibly sharp halberd energy, aimed directly at Zhu Hongzhang's head.
If nothing unexpected happened, this move would directly decapitate Zhu Hongzhang, killing him on the spot.
However, just as Kaiyue Duanji was less than an inch away from Zhu Hongzhang's side, his defensive treasures began to flash with brilliant light, forming a radiant shield that firmly protected him.
Completely unharmed, Zhu Hongzhang launched a fierce counterattack in the next second.
The Immortal Blood Spear in his hand, with a "whoosh," suddenly expanded several times. Spiritual energy surged, and it struck Mo Wen directly with lightning speed.
With a deafening "boom," the earth began to crack open with massive fissures.
Amidst the thick dust, the Seal Chains protecting Mo Wen, due to this thunderous strike, suddenly warped and fractured.
Mo Wen himself let out a mournful cry, spitting blood. He was clearly not lightly injured.
However, Mo Wen did not give up easily.
His face suddenly contorted into an indescribably ferocious expression.
This was a battle for the Great Dao; how could he possibly accept defeat!
He gripped the halberd with both hands, and Kaiyue Duanji slashed and chopped with great power, its energy fierce and sweeping across the battlefield.
However, Zhu Hongzhang was unconcerned. He activated his array of treasures and engaged Mo Wen once more.
After over a hundred exchanges between Zhu Hongzhang and Mo Wen, Zhu Hongzhang, relying on his numerous treasures, easily defeated Mo Wen and successfully advanced to the finals.
...
The finals.
Zhu Hongzhang against Yan Yan.
Both Zhu Hongzhang and Yan Yan were true "immortal second-generation" prodigies.
One was the nephew of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, and the other was a direct descendant of a Purple Mansion stage cultivator.
Neither of them was a pushover; both were formidable.
...
Yan Yan, holding the Sun God Token, launched the first attack against Zhu Hongzhang.
Ten orbs of red sun possessed the terrifying power to incinerate all in the world.
Nothing could resist their burning, nothing could remain unignited!
Zhu Hongzhang's expression was calm, showing no panic. He patted his storage bag and summoned a water-attribute remnant treasure called the "Nine Dragon Water Control Bowl."
In Zhu Hongzhang's hand, the Nine Dragon Water Control Bowl manifested nine five-clawed water dragons, which met the ten red suns in the air without fear.
The nine five-clawed water dragons, carrying immense water-attribute power, aggressively attacked the ten fiercely burning red suns.
The ten fiercely burning red suns, under Yan Yan's control, slowly descended, their scorching heat baking everything.
...
Fire and water, inherently antagonistic, clashed for a long time. It took a full three hours of mutual consumption before a victor emerged.
"Roar!"
The nine five-clawed water dragons ultimately gained a slight advantage, extinguishing the ten fiercely burning red suns.
...
"Hahahaha, Yan Yan, is this all the skill you have?" Zhu Hongzhang said with a triumphant laugh upon seeing this, addressing Yan Yan.
"Hmph, my skills are far from over. Don't get too smug too soon, brat!"
Yan Yan snorted coldly, employing a unique secret art to transform all his spiritual energy into a fire source and infuse it into another treasure, the Sun Flame Jade Immortal Mirror.
The Sun Flame Jade Immortal Mirror instantly erupted with brilliant light, emitting an incredibly powerful aura that even made Zhu Hongzhang feel a chill.
Although Yan Yan wielded the Sun Flame Jade Immortal Mirror and charged fiercely towards Zhu Hongzhang, Zhu Hongzhang, relying on his numerous defensive treasures, managed to leisurely fend off Yan Yan's attacks.
...
Zhu Hongzhang seemed to be observing if Yan Yan had any other trump cards.
Thus, this exchange of offense and defense between the two lasted for a full three hours.
Yan Yan, who had been constantly attacking, was drenched in sweat from exhaustion in all aspects, with only a little more than half of the spiritual energy remaining in his Dantian.
With no other options, Yan Yan unleashed a secret art called the "Seven Flame Treasure Technique." This technique greatly boosted the user's spiritual power, at the cost of a severe illness afterward.
After using the Seven Flame Treasure Technique, Yan Yan's entire demeanor became eerily potent, radiating an indescribable aura.
With every step he took, a scorched footprint appeared on the ground, and a wave of heat washed over.
On the other side.
Seeing this, Zhu Hongzhang was extremely surprised. In his spiritual sense, the spiritual energy within Yan Yan was as fierce and blazing as a myriad of furnaces, far more terrifying than anyone he had encountered.
He surmised that Yan Yan must have used a secret art out of desperation to temporarily boost his spiritual power.
However, Zhu Hongzhang was not overly panicked. After all, with his body laden with treasures, he held the advantage regardless of his opponent's abilities.
This was not the end. Yan Yan suddenly spat out a fiery red flame.
This flame flickered and danced in mid-air, landing in Yan Yan's hand and instantly transforming into a fire blade, over eight feet long.
The fire light flashed. This burning fire blade, under Yan Yan's control, struck towards Zhu Hongzhang like lightning.
Before the fire blade arrived, Zhu Hongzhang felt a scorching wave of heat roll towards him.
The corners of Zhu Hongzhang's mouth curled up slightly. The Immortal Blood Spear in his hand, gleaming with a blood-red cold light, struck ahead of Yan Yan's attack and collided directly with the burning fire blade.
With a boom.
In the next second, Yan Yan was violently thrown backward.
Fortunately, the fire blade in his hand immediately transformed into a burning chain, which quickly protected him.
Seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhu Hongzhang's eyes, and he blurted out, "Seed of the Myriad Transformations Immortal Fire!"
As a descendant of a Purple Mansion stage ancestor, he had read various secret classic texts since childhood and had a certain understanding of the treasures in the cultivation world.
Among the great fires in the cultivation world, there was one called the Myriad Transformations Immortal Fire.
Despite being a seemingly insignificant fire seed, it could transform into various weapons as needed by the user, with complete control.
However, the seed of the Myriad Transformations Immortal Fire was extremely precious; even he had never seen it.
He never expected this person before him to possess it. Therefore, the person fighting him must also have an extraordinary background.
With a "Hmph," Zhu Hongzhang's expression became peculiar.
It was the look a child who had not yet grown up would have upon seeing a novel toy.
...
On the other side.
To avoid bringing shame upon his uncle Feng Junyi, Yan Yan would not easily give up the honor of first place in the grand competition.
Otherwise, he would not have revealed his trump card so readily.
The more setbacks he faced, the more his fighting spirit was ignited.
In the next second, the seed of the Myriad Transformations Immortal Fire transformed into a fire spear over ten feet long, which surged forward against the wind.
Flames of a hundred different kinds appeared simultaneously, striking towards Zhu Hongzhang.
