The Greatest Under Heaven (Continued)

When the divine sword was born, it triggered an eruption of the earth's veins, bringing out a large amount of earthly yin Yin Qi and scorching heat. The earthly yin Yin Qi was absorbed by Si Ming's previous One Sword, and the remaining heat energy could not escape utilization either, being completely absorbed by Si Ming's One Sword.

In an instant, the temperature of the erupting magma dropped sharply, showing signs of cooling. However, the temperature of the golden Sword Qi rose to another level, causing the surrounding temperature to rise as well. The ground below cracked slightly, turned fiery red, and the vegetation spontaneously combusted without fire.

The greatest benefit that mastering the Myriad Realms Swordsmanship brought to Si Ming was not improving his swordsmanship. After all, the "Evil-Slaying Sword Art" and the "Imperial Dragon Heaven-Defying Sword Art" that he cultivated were the highest-level Swordsmanship in the world. No matter how advanced other Swordsmanship were, they might not be able to surpass these two Swordsmanship in terms of their underlying principles.

Just as breadth doesn't necessarily equate to depth, even if you master all the palm techniques in Jin Yong's martial arts world, you might not be able to defeat Qiao Feng's single palm strike, "The Proud Dragon Repents."

Often, the key to Swordsmanship contest is not who uses the more skillful Swordsmanship, but who can execute it better.

In actual combat, mastering the Myriad Realms Swordsmanship brings two benefits to Si Ming: first, he can use the most effective Swordsmanship technique to counter the opponent's martial arts moves; second, he can adapt to the situation and choose the most suitable Swordsmanship to perform in different environments.

At this moment, Si Ming was using the Swordsmanship from the "Nine Yang Heavenly Art Sword Manual," which best utilized the advantages of the terrain. After absorbing all the earth vein's fiery energy, he seemed to transform into a golden, shining sun, with vast and intense light radiating from his body.

"Nine Yangs Blaze Across the Universe!"

Golden flames and sword Sword Qi swept across the sky, rendering everything in a boundless, dazzling light, as if nine golden crows had descended upon the world at the same time, incinerating everything into ashes and nothingness.

"It's so hot! Oh no, my clothes are on fire!"

"Good heavens! We've run three thousand feet already, and it's still so hot! Is this what a battle at the Void Returning level is like? Is this how dangerous a battle is?"

The martial arts practitioners watching the battle were also affected. Those with weaker cultivation levels had their clothes and hair on fire and hurriedly fled. Those with stronger cultivation levels also exerted all their strength to resist the increasingly intense aftershocks of the scorching Sword Qi. Even so, they gradually felt powerless. Their hair withered under the high temperature, and the sweat that had just seeped out of their bodies was evaporated by the scorching heat.

Upon seeing this One Sword strike, Chidahu solemn. He finally decided to disregard Si Ming's age and cultivation level, treating him as a formidable enemy of the same caliber, and unleashed his full Vicious Qi.

"Swimming Fish, Whale, Ao and Shark!"

With a "whoosh," like the sound of splashing water, the Vicious Qi suddenly spread out, turning into a circle of blue-green ripples that enveloped Chidahu's entire body. Countless marine creatures swam on the surface of the ripples, making it look like an aquarium.

The scorching pure gold Sword Qi slashed down from the sky, colliding with the blue ripples formed from the Vicious Qi. The two completely opposite energies collided and unleashed a tremendous force.

In everyone's eyes, at this moment, the world was filled with only golden and blue light, and even their minds were filled with these two colors, making it impossible to see any other colors. This was due to the impact of Sword Intent and Fist Intent.

"He's making such a fuss, how much does he want to show off? Tsk, that color is so bright it's blinding, you can't see anything at all!" Ying Zhou grumbled.

At this moment, only Spirit Transformation Grandmaster could use his spiritual sense to observe the fierce battle behind the light in this state of blindness. Although Ying Zhou possessed Spirit Transformation level combat power, and even surpassed many early Nascent Spirit Transformation, he was ultimately not a true Spirit Transformation Grandmaster. His spiritual sense had not undergone the enhancement of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation, and could not tolerate the interference of Sword Intent and Fist Intent.

Bang bang bang!

The sounds of clashing energies rang out rapidly and continuously, and powerful shockwaves, heavy as mountains, vast as the sky, and boundless as the sea, spread out, seemingly resonating with the heavens and earth.

At this moment, it was Ying Zhou who demonstrated his advantage, using his physical body to withstand the impact, while the others had to use their internal energy to resist or simply retreat.

With a deafening roar, the golden sword light, pressing down on the blue-green halo, plummeted to the ground. Clearly, Si Ming had gained the upper hand in this exchange. He pressed Chidahu down into the center of the gourd's mouth, unleashing a violent force that leveled the Gourd Valley with overwhelming force.

Rocks flew through the air, with stones of varying sizes hurtling through the air. Faced with this near-catastrophic force, the onlookers from the martial arts world were instantly struck by bloodshed. Even top-notch martial artists could not withstand the impact of the boulders accelerated by gravity.

This shows that free performances aren't necessarily a good thing; they may be free, but they could be deadly.

"Snake Sheds into Python, Flood Dragon and Dragon!"

Chidahu a fierce counterattack. Countless pale green snake shadows burst forth from the acupoints all over his body, absorbing the remaining Yin Qi of the earth and transforming into vicious Xuan Yin dragons, which intertwined into a raging calamity of dragons and slashed back at the giant golden sword.

The golden sword, having exhausted most of its energy, could no longer withstand the attack. After a brief stalemate, it was shredded by the swarm of dragons, disintegrating into streaks of fiery sword Sword Qi that rained down from the sky like fireworks. Si Ming had become one with the sword, was also forced out and flung into the air. However, his expression remained calm, as if he were the one who had the upper hand at this moment.

"Barbarian King, if your skills end here, then today I will make sure your moon never waxes again!"

Si Ming reached out and Wheel-Turning King Sword into his palm. He then raised it towards the sky, and the dissipated fiery Sword Qi was absorbed back into the sword, giving birth to a new sword technique.

"Snow melts, a thousand peaks burn, a crimson dragon blazes!"

The enormous fire dragon swooped down, crashing into the group of dragons and pressing Chidahu down once again.

"Barbarian King, do not be afraid, this old man is here to lend you a hand."

With Ju Beichen one sentence, Chidahu defined Chidahu as a loser who needed help.

He activated his inner energy, and a surge of righteous power soared into the heavens, causing the sea of clouds to boil. The surrounding clouds swirled and spiraled downwards, continuously rushing towards Ju Beichen's raised right palm.

A vast and boundless primordial Primal Qi from the heavens, drawn by a powerful force, continuously flowed into his body, amplifying his aura several times over. Then, with a flick of his sleeves, he charged proudly into the fiercest battle, unleashing a palm strike at Si Ming with overwhelming force.

Faced with such a powerful palm strike, Si Ming's relaxed expression vanished, replaced by a solemn one as if facing a formidable enemy. He caught the blow with his backhand, letting out a muffled groan as if he had endured extreme pain but forcibly suppressed it with immense willpower. This groan clearly reached everyone's ears.

At the same time, Chidahu clearly felt that the power of the fire dragon had grown even stronger, and the Xuan Yin Flood Dragon was shattering one after another. He was the one who really wanted to let out a muffled groan.

"... Grand Tutor, it seems you really are willing to abandon this facade."

Ju Beichen laughed heartily, dismissively saying, "What good is an old face full of wrinkles? In the past, caring about face was just a way to hoard goods and speculate, all for the sake of making a fortune today."

Then he shouted, "Good lad! If you can withstand two more blows from me, you will truly deserve the title of the world's number one!"

Si Ming secretly glanced at the other person, admiring him inwardly. Although he had taken the initiative to propose "fame" as a condition, the other person's dedication still exceeded his expectations.

With the endorsement of this Confucian School Great Grandmaster, once the news of this battle spreads, others may question his title of "the best in the world," but they will definitely regard him as an unparalleled expert who has reached the pinnacle of martial arts.

For Ju Beichen, Si Ming's offer was a bargain without cost. He had long since let go of empty fame and didn't mind becoming part of the background of a young genius's resume.

As for the title of "Number One in the World," if Si Ming didn't have the strength and was killed, naturally no one could appeal to him. On the contrary, if Si Ming had the corresponding strength, then it was "well-deserved" as he said, and as the recommender, he was also honored.

With Ju Beichen, a terrible teammate, taking sides, after three punches, Si Ming not only stood proudly in the air but also sent the Barbarian King flying, coughing up blood. The Grand Tutor of the Li State even put on a shocked expression, gasped, and quickly retreated to create distance, muttering, "This kid is truly terrifying."

Hey, Grand Tutor, you overdid it! You're putting on too much of a show. With acting skills like that, you won't win a Best Actor award.

Si Ming was inwardly cursing, but on the surface he still had to put on a Long Aotian expression, as if to say, "I'm not targeting anyone in particular, everyone here is trash."

To an uninformed outsider, he appeared as a towering and majestic god. Even the description of him as "his body trembled, radiating an aura of dominance" would not seem out of place, given the presence of two defeated Void Returning Great Grandmaster as a backdrop, which was more convincing than any words.

When the three clashed, their powerful energy surged forth, causing the earth to shake and the Juntian Divine Sword to be sent flying far away. The Spirit Transformation experts who had come with the three immediately tried to snatch it back.
