Back from the Dead, Defeating Gentleman Sword!
Infinite resurrection?
How can others play then?
At this moment, everyone in the room felt a chill run down their spines.
I originally thought the protagonist of this battle was the Gentleman Sword, but unexpectedly, the one who truly shocked everyone was the Undying Battle Emperor.
Within the battlefield space.
The Gentleman Sword retreated again and again.
With the confidence granted by his Undying Dharma Body, the Undying Battle Emperor unleashed a torrent of killing intent, charging forward relentlessly.
"It seems... I underestimated you."
After being repelled once more, the Gentleman Sword suddenly sharpened, and he said in a deep voice, "Originally, the only opponents worthy of my full strength were Heavenly Lord Yun and the others, but now, I have no choice but to use you as a sacrifice for my sword."
The words were finished.
The Sword Intent on the Gentleman Sword surged.
At this time.
He himself was like an unparalleled divine sword.
The sword light blazed fiercely.
He originally intended to win by repeatedly killing the Undying Battle Emperor.
However, the Undying Battle Emperor's strength is extraordinary.
And it has the unwavering confidence to back it up.
He was unable to kill his opponent again.
Therefore.
He had no choice but to use his last trump card.
The essence of Sword Dao is the Unity of Man and Sword.
The next moment.
A vast expanse of sword light swept out.
In an instant, it engulfed the figure of the Undying Battle Emperor.
"Could this sword strike be the ultimate secret of Sword Dao... the Unity of Man and Sword?"
In the stands.
God King spoke in astonishment.
"The Gentleman Sword has even grasped the essence of this sword technique... truly impressive."
"With this one sword strike, he is now capable of fighting those four."
The God King gave it extremely high praise.
It's easy to imagine.
The Gentleman Sword's strike was truly stunning.
In this state, the Gentleman Sword's power increased dramatically, and in an instant, it slit the opponent's throat, robbing him of all his life force.
The Undying Battle Emperor is dead!
But obviously...
This sword strike couldn't completely deplete the opponent's Divine Power.
The Undying Battle Emperor has been resurrected once more.
He lunged at the Gentleman Sword.
Swish!
Another sword fell.
Once again, the Undying Battle Emperor was instantly killed.
Then.
It's just a series of repetitive scenes playing out.
By the time he was killed for the sixth time, the Gentleman Sword was somewhat overexerted, and his Sword Intent became weak and unstable.
"This sword strike is all it takes!"
Now.
With a desperate gamble, the Gentleman Sword killed his opponent with a single strike, but he too could not hold on any longer and fell to the ground, panting heavily. Leaning on his sword, he looked at the spot where the sword light had disappeared. If this strike had not killed his opponent...
He could simply admit defeat.
Puff!
A blood-red halberd pierced through the chest of the Gentleman Sword.
Behind him.
The Undying Battle Emperor grinned; he had won this battle.
And it was through this battle.
He was quite famous in this Central Divine Domain.
At this moment, Gentleman Sword collapsed to the ground.
His eyes were filled with fear.
"In this battle, the Undying Battle Emperor will prevail!"
The referee announces the result.
It stunned the entire audience.
At the same time.
Many of the participants began to feel fear.
To be able to come back to life—such a monstrous ability! If they were to face this person, how could they possibly have any chance of victory?
"This time at the Canglan Grand Ceremony, perhaps the Undying Battle Emperor will be a dark horse!"
"Could it be... that the champion won't be one of those four, but rather the Undying Battle Emperor?"
"The final strike of the Gentleman Sword was enough to threaten the status of those four, but it still couldn't defeat this Undying Battle Emperor. I really can't imagine what kind of being could possibly defeat him?"
"Perhaps... only absolute power can suppress him, such as God King taking action."
The Undying Battle Emperor's performance was outstanding, shocking not only the onlookers but also attracting the attention of several God King present.
"This year's Canglan Grand Ceremony has been full of surprises."
"Besides Heavenly Lord Yun, Shield God, Goddess of the Dark Night, and Great God Wugen, there are actually a few other decent characters."
"This Undying Battle Emperor is indeed a formidable young talent."
"Chen Ning is also very strong. He was able to withstand Princess Qianqian's barrage of Law Treasure, which is something not everyone can do."
"This year's Canglan Grand Ceremony was truly spectacular."
The God King on their seats exchanged words, among them were the figures they had bet on, and they were all paying close attention to the battle situation.
Furthermore, through the battle just fought by the Undying Battle Emperor.
The God King has already extended an olive branch to him.
This illustrates...
The Undying Battle Emperor also has a very good chance of winning the championship.
At last.
At the invitation of the three God Kings, he chose the Lion God King.
The Lion God King's seat was also very close to the center, second only to the First Generation.
Chen Ning was recalling the scenes that had just unfolded: the Undying Battle Emperor had been killed seven times in his battle with the Gentleman Sword, yet he still hadn't exhausted his Divine Power.
The last time we fought the Giant Demon God, it only took five attempts.
"Another record broken..."
Chen Ning sighed softly, and perhaps this was not even the limit of the Undying Battle Emperor.
In conclusion
The opponent is definitely a formidable rival at this year's Canglan Grand Ceremony.
"What? You look so worried, are you scared?"
Yao Li noticed Chen Ning's expression and asked with a smile.
"I'm not afraid, to be honest, I'd really like to fight him."
Chen Ning smiled slightly.
He wanted to go all the way to the end, knowing that he would eventually have to fight the Undying Battle Emperor, so preparing early was a safer bet.
That's why he tried his best to study the Undying Battle Emperor from the previous battle.
Let's see if we can find any flaws.
The Canglan Grand Ceremony is ongoing.
Chen Ning played for several more rounds.
But their opponents were all unremarkable.
They won easily every time.
Even.
By merely using the God Emperor True Intention to defuse a few rounds of attacks, the opponent ran out of tricks.
But this is by no means because the opponent is weak.
Each opponent he faced was no weaker than the Axe God of yesteryear, probably somewhere below the Wind God Boulder Divine General, and the Heavenly Dragon God.
After many rounds of competition and contests.
Soon.
The top eight are decided!
Chen Ning and Yao Li both successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.
The favorites to win the championship were, of course, no surprises whatsoever.
The only pity is that Northern Marsh's Wind God was eliminated.
In the previous battle, he encountered Heavenly Lord Yun. Even with Wind God exerting all his strength and activating his Dharma Body, he was unable to force Heavenly Lord Yun to use his Dharma Body.
He is the same as Chen Ning.
He defeated his opponent simply by using the God Emperor True Intention.
And.
He wielded the God Emperor True Intention with even greater ease and skill.
After watching that battle, Chen Ning clearly felt that his opponent's skill was indeed superior to his own.
"The match order for the quarterfinals has been sent to your battle tokens. The matches will begin one by one shortly!"
The rules after the quarterfinals are different from before.
By this point, everyone who advances is a formidable opponent, and every battle is destined to be spectacular.
So.
They will no longer be conducted simultaneously.
Instead, they competed in one match after another.
It will be a feast for the eyes for everyone.
However.
Just after the referee finished reading the announcement.
A deafeningly loud sound rang out.
"God Emperor Canglan! You old bastard, look what you've done! If I don't electrocute you into coal dust today, I won't deserve the title of Great Emperor."
Thunder rumbled in the clouds.
A towering figure descended.
It was none other than the Great Emperor Shenji!
