The Top Eight! (4K)

The top sixteen have been determined. Seven people from the Holy Land and Aristocratic Clan families were selected, namely Lu Changsheng, Helian Ba, Xia Ningxue, Chen Jinxia, Long Tianyuan, while the Heavenly Court's Hundred Thousand Divine Palaces took nine spots.

The top sixteen, even the lowest in cultivation, are at least at the Immortal Emperor Eighth Stage; they are all exceptional individuals.

"In the round of 16, Group One, Lu Changsheng from Taihua Sacred Ground versus Tian Chengjian from the Five Luminaries Palace."

The two sides in the Group One match immediately attracted attention.

One was the strongest genius in the Lower Realm, who eliminated Chu Wuqing, the number one genius of the Martial God Palace, and even refused the Martial God Palace's invitation.

The other is Tian Chengjian, the number one genius of the Five Luminaries Palace, one of the Eight Divine Palaces.

"The Five Luminaries Palace specializes in the Five Elements Divine Ability, belonging to a different school from the Martial God Palace. Although your disciple defeated Chu Wuqing, it is said that this Tian Chengjian is even stronger."

"Let's see how it goes."

Lin Xuantong was already very satisfied with his disciple's progress.

At the Five Luminaries Palace, Tian Hao, who had been eliminated by Lu Changsheng, said to Tian Chengjian, who was about to fight, "You need to be careful, this guy is quite troublesome."

Tian Chengjian snorted coldly, "I'm not you, I won't lose to the other side."

With a thought, Tian Chengjian arrived at the Martial Platform.

Lu Changsheng appeared almost simultaneously.

He defeated Chu Wuqing with his Martial Technique, but this time he faced Tian Chengjian, who was skilled in the Five Elements Divine Ability and Sword Dao.

"My path is far superior to Chu Wuqing's." Tian Chengjian formed a hand seal with two fingers, "Heavenly Gang Fivefold Separation Fires, Wind-Thunder Earthshaking Command!"

Tian Chengjian's True Qi transformed into raging Fivefold Separation Fire and Nine Heavens Divine Thunder!

A fierce wind howled, flames roared, and thunderclaps boomed!

Without the aid of Talisman, Tian Chengjian can instantly use the Five Elements Technique!

"The Five Elements Divine Ability of the Five Luminaries Palace are truly astonishing."

"It is said that when the Five Elements Divine Ability is cultivated to its highest level, it can evolve from the Primordial Chaos metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, which is truly terrifying."

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Lu can win? We in the Lower Realm are counting on Fellow Daoist Lu to enter the top four, or even the top two. We absolutely cannot lose."

The major Holy Land and Aristocratic Clan couldn't help but feel nervous.

Lu Changsheng unleashed his second Law Treasure — the Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.

When the Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda appeared, it shone with boundless brilliance, Impervious to Ten Thousand Arts. The Heavenly Gang Fivefold Separation Fire and the Primordial Chaos Wind-Thunder were blocked by the Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.

"What kind of Law Treasure is this? It can actually resist the Five Elements Divine Ability of our Five Luminaries Palace, Impervious to Ten Thousand Arts?"

"This Law Treasure is so powerful, it's breaking the rules, isn't it?"

"No, it seems to be Eighth-Grade Dao Artifact, just a relatively strong Defensive Law Treasure."

"Damn, this kid has already Body Tempering his body, making him incredibly strong. And he also possesses such a powerful Defensive Law Treasure. Below the God King Realm, who can defeat him?"

The True Lords of the Five Luminaries Palace were all greatly surprised.

The Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda restrained the Five Luminaries Palace's Divine Ability, Tian Chengjian's Cultivation Method could not break through the radiance of the Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, greatly reducing its threat to Lu Changsheng.

"To be precise, it's a Merit Law Treasure, capable of gathering immense Merit and continuously growing stronger. Currently, this Merit Law Treasure is only equivalent to Eighth-Grade Dao Artifact Law Treasure, so using it doesn't violate the rules. What's surprising is that the materials used in this merit-accumulating Merit Law Treasure seem to be of extremely high quality, making its potential immeasurable."

The Palace Master of the Five Luminaries Palace was drawn to the Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, and he noticed its extraordinary nature.

All the major Divine Palace, Holy Land, and Aristocratic Clan were deeply moved.

Lu Changsheng neutralized Tian Chengjian's Five Elements Technique with just one Law Treasure.

The defensive capabilities of the Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda are truly too strong; it remained unmoved amidst raging flames and thunder.

"Hateful."

Tian Chengjian had no choice but to form Sword Art, and the Flying Sword behind him soared into the sky.

The Immortal Sword wields wind, fire, thunder, and lightning, its Sword Qi vast and boundless.

Besides being skilled in the Five Elements Technique, the Five Luminaries Palace also cultivates Sword Dao.

Purple Lightning Clear Frost appeared in response to the attack and fell into Lu Changsheng's hands.

With his Fourth Sword Realm, Lu Changsheng, protected by the Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, ignored the bombardment of the Heavenly Gang Fivefold Separation Fire and the Primordial Chaos Nine Heavens Thunder and clashed Tian Chengjian.

The ocean of Sword Qi energy surged as the two wielded their Divine Swords, unleashing countless Sword Qi.

The two clashed like two Sword Saints, unleashing thousands upon thousands of Sword Qi upon each other.

Both were Great Perfection Immortal Emperors, and most of the Elders present were not as powerful as them, making the scene breathtaking.

Young Master Long's smile finally faded slightly, and he said to Imperial Son Ku, "This person's Cultivation Method, Law Treasures, and aptitude are all quite good. He wasn't your match in this sparring session, but he might become a formidable enemy in the future."

Imperial Son Ku's expression was cold and stern. "He is no match for me now, nor will he ever be. It is his tragedy to be born in the same era as me. Besides, he needs to get past Yuexi of the Profound Maiden Palace first. Yuexi is no simple person."

"I, Tian Chengjian, am the number one genius of the Five Luminaries Palace! How can I be defeated by someone from the Lower Realm!"

Tian Chengjian was nearly driven to madness; his True Qi was being rapidly depleted.

Relying on the Purple Lightning Clear Frost, the Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, and a physical body comparable to Seventh-Grade Dao Artifact, Lu Changsheng was able to combine offense and defense effectively, making it impossible for Tian Chengjian to defeat Lu Changsheng.

Moreover, both being at the Immortal Emperor Ninth Stage, Lu Changsheng, with his Innate Dao Body, possessed far more abundant True Qi. Tian Chengjian could not exhaust it and could only expend his last bit of True Qi in frustration.

"That's enough, you're no match for him."

A vast surge of True Qi descended, and the Palace Master Five Luminaries Palace, with his unparalleled cultivation, separated Lu Changsheng and Tian Chengjian.

The Palace Master Five Luminaries Palace realized that if the fight continued, his disciple might lose his Dao heart, so it was better to stop now.

There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding.

There are countless powerful beings in the world. The Palace Master Five Luminaries Palace and other Great Expert who have lived for hundreds of millions of years have seen beings stronger than themselves and can accept defeat.

However, Tian Chengjian is relatively young, and losing to someone from the Lower Realm could very well affect his Dao heart.

"Master, I am not reconciled."

Tian Chengjian knew that the fact that the Palace Master of the Five Luminaries Palace had made a move meant that he had lost.

"Being unwilling to accept it won't change anything. You need to work even harder in your training to have a chance to surpass your opponent."

"Yes."

Tian Chengjian dared not refute the Palace Master Five Luminaries Palace, so he returned to his position in the Five Luminaries Palace.

"Fellow Daoist Lu indeed impressive; you've already made it into the Top Eight."

"Fellow Daoist Lu has defeated the Martial God Palace and Five Luminaries Palace of the Eight Divine Palaces. Next, he is very likely to encounter Helian Ba, the Lineage genius of the High Antiquity Helian Family. To be honest, Helian Ba's strength is not as good as Chu Wuqing and Tian Chengjian. He just had extremely good luck in the draw. It seems that Fellow Daoist Lu is going to enter the top four."

"To be among the top four of the many Peerless Genius born in the Immortal Realm within a million years is already a feat of extraordinary talent. Fellow Daoist Lu's future achievements are limitless."

"Why doesn't our Cloud Mountain Holy Land have such a genius? From now on, Yunshan Sacred Ground Disciples should take Fellow Daoist Lu as their role model."

"Ancestor, please spare us!"

Everyone believed that Lu Changsheng would make it into the top four, even the High Antiquity Helian Family was no exception.

The High Antiquity Helian Family knew that it was enough for Helian Ba to make it into the Top Eight.

However, Lu Changsheng, who sheltered Su Yun, the head of the High Antiquity Su Family, displayed astonishing talent, exceeding the expectations of the High Antiquity Helian Family.

The more attention Lu Changsheng attracts, the harder it is for them to target Lu Changsheng, and naturally, they will be unable to capture Su Yun and obtain the High Antiquity Su Family's treasures.

Following Lu Changsheng, the Top Eight were determined. In the upper bracket, the players were Lu Changsheng, Helian Ba, Yuexi, and Xia Ningxue. In the lower bracket, the players were Chen Jinxia, Imperial Son Ku, Young Master Long, and Song Lihen.

Among them, there are four geniuses from the Lower Realms and four geniuses from the Heavenly Court.

Many Holy Land and Aristocratic Clan were overjoyed, as they had actually fought the Heavenly Court to a standstill!

The Eight Divine Palaces of Heavenly Court are losing face.

Of the Eight Divine Palaces, only Imperial Son Ku and Young Master Long of the Mira Palace, Yuexi of the Profound Maiden Palace, and Song Lihen of the Tusita Palace made it into the Top Eight. Their ambition to monopolize the Top Eight can be said to have failed.

During halftime, Xia Ningxue's Avatar, who was cultivating the Moon Palace Cultivation Method in her Cultivation Space, was summoned back by Xia Ningxue.

The Profound Maiden Palace's Number One Prodigy, Immortal Maiden Yuexi, is an absolute formidable enemy. Xia Ningxue needs to integrate the cultivation achievements of her Avatar six thousand years in order to contend with her.

Lu Changsheng's opponent in the next round is Helian Ba.

Helian Ba's displayed strength was inferior to that of his opponents Chu Wuqing and Tian Chengjian, and he didn't seem to be hiding his true strength. Therefore, Lu Changsheng believed that he could defeat Helian Ba without recalling his Avatar.

Inside the Profound Maiden Palace, everyone believed that Yuexi would easily defeat Xia Ningxue.

Xia Ningxue's strength was only at the eighth level of the Immortal Emperor Realm. To Top Eight, she was similar to Helian Ba that she had good luck during the draw.

"Senior Sister Yuexi is the most talented among the younger generation of Elders and disciples in our Profound Maiden Palace. Even the Palace Master praises her highly. She can definitely defeat the Moon Palace Saintess easily and enter the top four."

"Senior Sister is far more than just one of the top four. In my opinion, even Taihua Saint Lu Changsheng of Taihua, is no match for Senior Sister. Senior Sister is a candidate for the next generation of the Twelve Sword Maidens of our Profound Maiden Palace. With Senior Sister talent, among the Eight Divine Palaces, only Imperial Son Ku dares to say he has a 100% chance of defeating Senior Sister."

The Elders and disciples of the Profound Maiden Palace all favor Yuexi.

The Twelve Sword Maidens all looked relaxed; they knew perfectly well just how strong Yuexi truly was.

Apart from the Heavenly Emperor's Son, none of the Eight Divine Palaces could rival Yuexi.

Yuexi is being groomed by the Profound Maiden Palace to be the next generation of Sword Maiden, which speaks volumes about her potential.

The Sword Maidens of the Profound Maiden Palace throughout history have all been geniuses among geniuses, appearing only once in a billion years.

Yuexi was equally relaxed. She looked at her next opponent Xia Ningxue, and suddenly, Yuexi's expression changed.

Xia Ningxue's aura is rising rapidly, and she has actually broken through the Immortal Emperor Eighth Stage and entered the Immortal Emperor Ninth Stage!

Xia Ningxue's improvement happened in the blink of an eye!

"Could it be that she's been hiding her true strength all along?"

Yuexi's expression gradually became serious.

Xia Ningxue will be a very strong opponent.

She has been cultivating for longer than Xia Ningxue. If she cannot defeat Xia Ningxue, then the reputation of the Profound Maiden Palace will inevitably be affected.

The Twelve Sword Maidens of the Profound Maiden Palace also noticed Xia Ningxue.

"This woman..."

The Twelve Sword Maidens' eyes lit up.

The Profound Maiden Palace is the only Sects in the Heavenly Court composed entirely of female Xiuzhenzhe, and Xia Ningxue's aptitude perfectly meets the Profound Maiden Palace's requirements.

Xia Ningxue's Avatar returned to her True Body, restoring all her strength. Moreover, the Avatar had cultivated for over six thousand years, absorbing fragments of the Heaven and Earth Principle Fragments and Will of Heaven and Earth from the Primordial Chaos Heavenly Ginseng. As a result, the moment the Avatar returned to her True Body, Xia Ningxue's realm actually broke through to the Immortal Emperor Ninth Stage.

Xia Ningxue's breakthrough surprised everyone in the Moon Palace.

Xia Ningxue's breakthrough before facing the top genius of the Profound Maiden Palace would undoubtedly increase her chances of winning.

"Xue'er's talent far surpasses mine. Within ten million years, she will succeed me as the Moon Palace Master."

Li Heng couldn't help but admire it.

Xia Ningxue was extremely talented. Even when Li Heng was young, she could not compare with Xia Ningxue. She was determined to pass on the position of Moon Palace Master to Xia Ningxue in the future.

The vast majority of Elders and disciples of the Moon Palace had no objections.

Just kidding. Xia Ningxue entered the top Top Eight in the Immortal Realm based on her own strength. As long as she doesn't perish prematurely, she is very likely to become Great Expert.

If a Holy Land gains another Great Expert, its strength will rise to a new level.

Only Jiang Yue felt a pang of jealousy.

If Xia Ningxue hadn't suddenly appeared, the position of Moon Palace Master would very likely have been hers.

But even Jiang Yue couldn't do anything about it, because Xia Ningxue's talent was what it was, and she couldn't compare to Xia Ningxue.

Xia Ningxue quickly broke through to the Immortal Emperor Realm, opening her clear, lake-like eyes. "Master, I have cultivated our Moon Palace's Sect-Defending Cultivation Method, 'Vast Misty Waves,' to the Eighth Layer."

"So fast?"

Li Heng was overjoyed.

The more outstanding her students are, the happier she is naturally.

Like Taihua Mountain, the Moon Palace also possesses Sect-Defending Cultivation Method left behind by High Antiquity Great Expert. One of these Sect-Defending Cultivation Method is called "Vast Misty Waves," which is divided into eleven levels. It is nothing short of a miracle that Xia Ningxue was able to cultivate the Eighth Layer at the Immortal Emperor Realm.

"How could she have mastered the Eighth Layer? The Palace Master only reached the Eighth Layer when she was at the God King Realm."

Jiang Yue was even more jealous of Xia Ningxue's talent.

Xia Ningxue's talent is exceptionally extraordinary.

Moreover, Xia Ningxue still possesses the cultivation sealed by the ancestor within her body.

"It seems Xue'er has made quite a haul."

Seeing that Xia Ningxue's cultivation level had improved, Lu Changsheng knew that Xia Ningxue had benefited greatly from the Cultivation Space.

The first match in the quarterfinals was between Lu Changsheng and Helian Ba.

Helian Ba was no match for Tian Chengjian and was quickly defeated by Lu Changsheng.

Helian Ba seemed to have anticipated his defeat. "Lu Changsheng, although your talent is extremely high, refusing the invitation from the Martial God Palace was a mistake. Without the protection of the Eight Divine Palaces, you still wanted to take in that bitch Su Yun? You will regret it."

"Oh."

Lu Changsheng simply gave a nonchalant reply.

He even dared to hit Dantai Meng, the daughter of the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable, so how could he possibly offend the High Antiquity Helian Family?

Helian Ba was palpable.

He made some harsh words, but judging from Lu Changsheng's reaction, Lu Changsheng completely ignored them, not taking the threat from the High Antiquity Helian Family seriously at all.

Not wanting to target Lu Changsheng in public, Helian Ba Helian Family, realizing he had made a fool of himself, had no choice but to leave.

"The second match: Yuexi from the Profound Maiden Palace versus Xia Ningxue from the Moon Palace."

The Group One's competition was a foregone conclusion, but the second group's competition immediately piqued everyone's interest.

The two most Peerless Beauty Divine Maiden in this competition finally met in the Top Eight.

Watching two future Divine Maiden- level figures fight is a real treat.
