Crushing Defeat! (4K)

"The Taihua Saint actually possesses the cultivation of the Immortal Emperor Ninth Stage!"

"The last time he showed the world his cultivation level was only at the Immortal Emperor Sixth Stage. I never expected that in just 100,000 years, he would have reached the Immortal Emperor Ninth Stage."

"I have cultivated for six million years and only reached the Immortal Emperor Fourth Stage. In his presence, I am truly ashamed."

The geniuses of many Holy Lands were all shaken.

Someone actually managed to cultivate to the Immortal Emperor Ninth Stage realm within a million years!

This person is also a representative figure of the Holy Lands!

Now the Heavenly Court won't monopolize the top ten!

Even Yan Zhiqiu, the Kunlun Saint, was stunned.

He had absorbed the dragon vein energy and raised his cultivation to the Immortal Emperor Eighth Stage, so he was confident that he could fight Lu Changsheng. Unexpectedly, Lu Changsheng directly reached the Immortal Emperor Ninth Stage.

The Immortal Emperor Ninth Stage.

"This is truly surprising; the strength of the Lower Realms should not be underestimated."

"Your Five Luminaries Palace has a rival now."

The Great Expert of the Eight Divine Palaces all turned their attention to this young man who had previously gone unnoticed by them.

Even among the Eight Divine Palaces, very few people can cultivate to the Immortal Emperor Ninth Stage within a million years.

"Really..."

Among the people from the Mira Palace, experts such as Imperial Son Ku and Young Master Long crossed their arms in front of their chests and stared at Lu Changsheng.

Imperial Son Ku's expression was solemn.

However, Lu Changsheng's cultivation at the Immortal Emperor Ninth Stage was already within Imperial Son Ku's expectations.

Young Master Long, handsome and with a slight smile, said to Imperial Son Ku, "Is he the opponent you mentioned? He certainly looks very strong."

Tian Hao, Lu Changsheng's rival, couldn't laugh.

He thought that his cultivation had reached the Immortal Emperor Eighth Stage, and that no one in the Lower Realm could surpass him. Unexpectedly, he encountered Lu Changsheng, the strongest among the various Holy Lands, in the first round.

Even if your cultivation level is one level higher than mine, I cultivate the Five Luminaries Palace's Cultivation Method, which are definitely stronger than Cultivation Method from the Lower Realms!

Tian Hao's cultivation level is at the peak of the Immortal Emperor Eighth Stage. If given more time, he can also reach the Immortal Emperor Ninth Stage.

Tian Hao believed that even if Lu Changsheng was a realm higher than him, the Five Luminaries Palace's Sect-Defending Cultivation Method was still stronger than the Taihua Sacred Ground's Cultivation Method!

When the Taihua Goddess of the Profound Maiden Palace left the Profound Maiden Palace to establish the Taihua Sacred Ground, she left behind no Cultivation Method related to the Profound Maiden Palace in order to sever ties with it.

The Sect-Defending Cultivation Method of the Taihua Sacred Ground are all Cultivation Method by the Taihua Goddess herself.

The Cultivation Method created by the Taihua Goddess were naturally no match for the accumulated expertise of countless masters in the Five Luminaries Palace.

And this is the confidence that Five Luminaries Palace gave Tian Hao!

"The Five Luminaries Origin Return!"

Not to be outdone, Tian Hao unleashed the full power of the Five Luminaries Palace's Cultivation Method, unleashing a dazzling display of five colors—red, orange, cyan, blue, and purple—and causing his Qi Sea to churn.

"Drink!"

Tian Hao shouted, and the two Divine Swords behind him soared into the sky. Five-colored light merged into the two Divine Swords, condensing into Five-Colored Sword Qi.

Surrounded by five rays of light, Tian Hao wielded two Divine Swords with two fingers, his sleek attire fluttering in the wind, resembling Sword Saint.

"This is the Five Luminaries Palace's divine-level Cultivation Method, 'Five Luminaries Origin Return'!"

"It is said that this Cultivation Method is divided into twelve levels, and the higher the level, the more dazzling the five-colored light. I estimate that Tian Hao has already reached the Seventh Layer."

"The geniuses of the Five Luminaries Palace are indeed extraordinary."

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Changsheng is capable of defeating Tian Hao?"

An Elder from the Holy Land recognized the Cultivation Method Tian Hao was using and exclaimed in surprise.

Tian Hao has cultivated the Five Luminaries Palace's Sect-Defending Cultivation Method to the Sixth Layer, and its power is already terrifying.

"The two Divine Swords he used were an Eighth-Grade Dao Artifact and a Ninth-Grade Dao Artifact! Two Dao Artifact -level Law Treasures!"

"The Five Luminaries Palace truly lives up to its reputation as one of the Eight Divine Palaces; it possesses profound foundations and numerous Law Treasures. Even Immortal Emperor Realm possess two Divine Sword- type Dao Artifacts."

The Elders from various Holy Lands who were watching the battle noticed that Tian Hao's two Divine Swords were radiating a terrifying pressure, befitting Dao-Proving Law Treasure.

Among the Elders of the Immortal Emperor Realm in the Holy Lands, even those who have reached the Great Perfection Immortal Emperor and possess the Dao-Proving Law Treasure are few and far between.

The Immortal Changliu said to Lin Xuantong with a grave expression, "Although this person is a realm below your disciple, he possesses two Dao Artifacts, Divine Swords. Combined with the Five Luminaries Palace's Sect-Defending Cultivation Method, 'Five Luminaries Origin Return,' your disciple may find himself in a difficult battle."

"No rush."

Lin Xuantong acknowledged that Taihua Mountain's Sect-Defending Cultivation Method, "One Sword Across the Ages," might not be as powerful as Five Luminaries Palace's "Five Luminaries Origin Return," but he didn't believe that whoever cultivated the stronger Cultivation Method was necessarily the stronger in combat.

"One Sword Across the Ages" only has five levels of sword realm, but Lu Changsheng has completely mastered the Fourth Sword Realm.

The Five Luminaries Origin Return has twelve levels, but Tian Hao has only mastered the Seventh Layer.

As far as Lin Xuantong knew, the Great Perfection of the Fourth Sword Realm was at least equivalent to the Eighth Layer of the "Five Luminaries Origin Return" technique.

"How about it? It's not too late to admit defeat now."

Tian Hao looked down at Lu Changsheng with disdain, his two Immortal Swords trembling violently.

The Qi Sea from the Five-Colored Sword Qi was extremely terrifying, covering an area of hundreds of miles, causing strange phenomena in the heavens and earth.

He wanted to show this country bumpkin from the Lower Realm the ultimate martial arts Supreme Lore of the Eight Divine Palaces.

Lu Changsheng was still too lazy to pay attention to the other party. He Sword Art with two fingers, and a purple light shot out from his body like lightning. The Eighth-Grade Dao Artifact "Purple Lightning Clear Frost" arrived in the air.

The Purple Lightning Clear Frost stands tall between Heaven and Earth, its blade resembling pale purple crystal, with faint purple lightning visible within.

Lu Changsheng activated the "Purple Tenuity Heavenly Fire True Art," and the vast Ziwei Ancient Star Heavenly Fire descended from the Void, merging with the Sword Qi of Purple Lightning Clear Frost. The Sword Qi carried lightning and Purple Tenuity Heavenly Fire, and the raging purple fire transformed into a giant dragon carrying purple thunder.

Lu Changsheng's sword intent was rapidly rising, reaching the peak of the Fourth Sword Realm. His sharp purple dragon Sword Qi went from being on par with the Five-Colored Sword Qi to surpassing it in the blink of an eye.

"The Supreme Lore created by the Taihua Goddess only had five sword realms, and this kid has actually mastered the Fourth Sword Realm!"

The people of the Eight Divine Palaces were shocked once again.

The Taihua Goddess was once one of the Twelve Sword Maidens of the High Antiquity Profound Maiden Palace. Her Supreme Lore were not unfamiliar to the Eight Divine Palaces, especially the Profound Maiden Palace.

Very few people can fully master the Fourth Sword Realm at the Immortal Emperor Realm!

Lin Xuantong only reached the Great Perfection of the Fourth Sword Realm after reaching the God King Realm.

In the Profound Maiden Palace, the Palace Master watched Lu Changsheng unleash the sword intent of "One Sword Across the Ages," and it was unclear what she thought.

She and the Taihua Goddess were Great Expert of the same era.

"Tian Hao is going to lose."

Seeing that Lu Changsheng's swordsmanship had surpassed that of Tian Hao, Tian Chengjian, the number one genius of the Five Luminaries Palace, knew that Tian Hao was no match for Lu Changsheng.

He unusually put aside his disdain for the Holy Lands of the Lower Realms.

At the very least, Lu Changsheng is an extremely strong opponent.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Seeing that Lu Changsheng's cultivation and aura far surpassed his own, Tian Hao's face twisted in disbelief.

He was the Peerless Genius in the Five Luminaries Palace after Tian Chengjian. Among the sixteen geniuses from the Eight Divine Palaces, Tian Hao was confident that he could compete for a top ten spot. However, Lu Changsheng from the Lower Realm possessed strength that surpassed his!

Not to be outdone, Tian Hao wanted to try his best, so he activated his two divine Divine Swords, which, with their vast Five-Colored Sword Qi, slashed at Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng countered fiercely, unleashing a vast and incomparable purple dragon Sword Qi that clashed with the Five-Colored Sword Qi.

Rumble...

Two terrifying Sword Qi collided, annihilating Spacetime, causing dragon roars and tiger howls, and churning air waves. The shattered, multicolored Sword Qi resembled fragments.

Space, time, Fortune, and Cause and Effect were all shattered and torn apart by the sword sea of the Fourth Sword Realm.

"The Cultivation Method established by the Taihua Goddess back then is truly unbelievable."

"Look at the Sword Art created by the Taihua Saintess, what level of divine skill has it reached?"

"If one cultivates to the Great Perfection of the Fifth Sword Realm, it can be considered a divine-level First-Grade Sword Art."

The Great Expert of the Eight Divine Palaces secretly communicated, showing great interest in the Swordsmanship of the Taihua Goddess from back then.

These Great Expert all possess their own unique Cultivation Method, and they are already exhausted from cultivating the Cultivation Method of their own Divine Palaces, so they wouldn't covet the Sect-Defending Cultivation Method of Taihua Mountain.

They just wanted to see what was unique about it.

Suddenly, a God King Realm expert vanished from the location of the Five Luminaries Divine Palace.

The two terrifying Sword Qi dissipated, Lu Changsheng, holding the Purple Lightning Clear Frost Immortal Sword, pushed it back into its sheath.

Opposite him, Tian Hao, the genius of the Five Luminaries Palace, was dressed in tattered clothes, and his handsome face had several bloody sword marks, with golden blood flowing down from the marks.

Behind Tian Hao, the True Lord of the Five Luminaries Divine Palace was channeling True Qi into Tian Hao's body to prevent the competition from damaging Tian Hao's foundation.

After all, Tian Hao is the second most talented genius of the Five Luminaries Divine Palace generation.

The Golden-Armored Heavenly General announced the results of the competition, "In the ninety-fourth group, the Taihua Saint has won. Please return to your seats."

Lu Changsheng disappeared from the Martial Platform and returned to his seat the next moment.

Although Tian Hao was unwilling, the appearance of the Five Luminaries Palace Elders on the Martial Platform, who blocked Lu Changsheng's fatal blow for him, meant that he had already lost.

Without the intervention of the God King Realm Elder from the Five Luminaries Palace, even if he survived, his foundation would be damaged.

"Tian Hao, don't worry, I will defeat him and restore honor for our Five Luminaries Palace."

Tian Chengjian regarded Lu Changsheng as his next major enemy.

Among the Eight Divine Palaces, Tian Hao was the first contestant to be eliminated, causing the Five Luminaries Palaces to lose face as a result.

As the number one genius of the Five Luminaries Palace, Tian Chengjian naturally wanted to help Five Luminaries Palace get revenge.

"Hateful..."

Tian Hao gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with hatred.

He was defeated in the very first round by a genius from the Lower Realm, becoming the first person from the Eight Divine Palaces to be eliminated. How could he possibly maintain his position in the Heavenly Court after this?

This incident may become a laughing stock for the Five Luminaries Palace in the future.

In the Mira Palace, Young Master Long, still with his eyes narrowed and a slight smile on his face, said to Imperial Son Ku, "Although he is a rather troublesome opponent for you, you should be able to defeat him, right?"

Imperial Son Ku, observing Lu Changsheng's displayed combat prowess, coldly stated, "His cultivation speed has somewhat exceeded my expectations. However, with his strength, he is neither my match nor yours."

You overestimate me.

Young Master Long's smile remained unchanged, as if he always maintained a relaxed state of mind.

Imperial Son Ku glanced at Young Master Long Yu Guang corner of his eye.

This guy is the only prodigy in the Mira Palace who can fight him, but he lacks competitiveness and never fights to the death.

"Lin Xuantong, you're really lucky to have taken on such a good disciple. Even the second-ranked genius of the Five Luminaries Palace is no match for him."

"The Taihua Sacred Ground is destined to rise in the future."

"In the future, the Taihua Sacred Ground will have another Great Expert whose strength should not be underestimated."

Congratulations!

Various Holy Lands, Aristocratic Clan, and Immortal Dynasties offered their congratulations to Lin Xuantong.

Anyone with eyes to see can see that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, given the strength Lu Changsheng has demonstrated, passing the previous rounds should not be a problem.

According to the match schedule, Lu Changsheng should at least make it to the top 16.

In the round of 16 to 8, Lu Changsheng will either encounter Yan Zhiqiu from the Kunlun Holy Land or Tian Chengjian from the Five Luminaries Palace.

However, Lin Xuantong looked somewhat worried despite receiving congratulations from various Holy Lands.

Immortal Changliu Lin Xuantong's worried expression and asked, "Lin Xuantong, your disciple has performed well, ranking at least sixteenth. What else do you have to worry about?"

"I always felt that my disciple could be even stronger."

"Ah?"

The immortal Immortal Changliu.

Lu Changsheng's displayed strength was already extremely formidable, easily overwhelming Tian Hao, the second-ranked genius of the Five Luminaries Palace. Yet, Lin Xuantong felt that this wasn't the level of strength Lu Changsheng should possess.

Lin Xuantong knew his disciple all too well, and his intuition was correct.

Lu Changsheng used 10% of his cultivation to create an Avatar and enter the Cultivation Space, True Body only had 90% of its cultivation.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng's strength should be reduced by 90%.

This is why Lin Xuantong always felt that Lu Changsheng could be even stronger.

Lu Changsheng sensed several powerful auras sweeping over him, which piqued his interest.

The Eight Divine Palaces knew little about Lu Changsheng. Now that Lu Changsheng had defeated Tian Hao of the Five Luminaries Palaces, he naturally attracted the attention of the Great Expert in the Heavenly Court.

However, since Lu Changsheng's True Body only possessed 90% of his cultivation, although his performance was amazing, it had not yet reached the point where the Great Expert of the Heavenly Court found it unbelievable. The Heavenly Emperor and the palace Palace Masters of the Eight Divine Palaces had not yet made a move.

Lu Changsheng treated the gazes of these Great Experts with equanimity.

He had no grudges against these Great Experts and posed little danger to them.

After Lu Changsheng 'Group One finished, the competition continued.

After passing dozens of groups, they arrived at the second genius of Taihua Sacred Ground, Lin Qinghan, who was facing off against the first genius of the Miaoyan Palace, Yan Xuanxu.

Miaoyan Palace ranks twenty-third among the One Hundred Thousand Divine Palaces, and its strength is not weak. Most people are more optimistic about the Miaoyan Palace winning.

In the Taihua Sacred Ground, only Lu Changsheng is famous, while Lin Qinghan rarely makes a move and remains unknown.

To be precise, Lu Changsheng's aura was so dazzling that no one noticed that Lin Qinghan's qualifications were also quite good.

Lin Qinghan is the number two contestant from Taihua Sacred Ground, while Miaoyan Palace is sending out its number one contestant. Everyone is more interested in the number one contestant.

"Go, Senior Sister!"

Lu Changsheng, however, favored Lin Qinghan more.

After emerging from the Divine Maiden Dao Ruins, Lin Qinghan was quite different.

In Lu Changsheng's view, her talent was no less than that of Feng Mu, the number one genius of the Ancient Wind Family.

"Um."

Lin Qinghan's confidence was greatly boosted by Lu Changsheng's encouragement.

Her junior brother made Taihua Mountain the most famous mountain, and she was not to be outdone.

"Although Miaoyan Palace is only ranked twenty-third, Yan Xuanxu's personal strength is not weak. He can win back some points for our Heavenly Court."

The geniuses of the Eight Divine Palaces discussed amongst themselves, and all favored the number one genius of the Miaoyan Palace.

Yan Xuanxu's strength ranks among the top geniuses in the Heavenly Court, second only to the Eight Divine Palaces.

"I, Yan Xuanxu, have always cherished and pitied women; you should admit defeat."

Yan Xuanxu opened his palm, and a Treasure Pagoda appeared in his hand.

"Dao Artifact!"

People in all the Holy Land are deeply distressed.

All the geniuses from the Miaoyan Palace who went to battle Dao Artifacts; it seems that none of the Divine Palaces wanted to lose face.

"I will not admit defeat."

Lin Qinghan her jade-like hand, and a magical umbrella appeared in her grasp.
