Heavenly Prodigy Assembly (2)

Glimmering River hangs high, casting rays of radiance that bring light to the World Interstice.

On the Desolation land, two forces faced each other across dozens of miles; one side was naturally the Lu Wu Realm and the Qiongqi Realm.

On the other side is the Nine Phoenix Realm.

A magnificent Black-Gold Palace stood in the sky, and inside sat powerful beings, all high-ranking figures from the Three Great Realms.

Yang Tianyou was prominently listed among them, and in the highest rank, holding a position equivalent to Sage Manifestation cultivator. This inevitably attracted frequent attention from the higher-ups of the Nine Phoenix Realm and the Qiongqi Realm.

A Nascent Soul Cultivator mingling among the Sage Manifestation and Spirit Transformation cultivators certainly stands out.

"Alright, now that everyone is here, let's stop dawdling and get started!" said one of the Nine-Phoenix Clan's Sage Manifestation.

The Venerable Di Fan of Lanke Temple chuckled, "Then so be it, benefactor."

Upon hearing this, Yan Wugou quickly echoed, "My Qiongqi Realm has no objections either!"

With the three parties reaching an agreement, Venerable Di Fan raised his right hand and threw out a scroll that shone with golden light.

Outside, the Buddha's light shone brightly, and a huge light curtain thousands of feet high appeared in the sky.

"The Heavenly Prodigy Tournament has officially begun. The winner will receive..."

A series of rewards appeared on the light screen.

High-level Law Treasure, Pills, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, Divine Ability and Secret Art...

Seeing the geniuses below eager to try their luck, they completely ignored the few large, blood-red characters at the end of the light screen.

"In this battle, life or death is irrelevant!"

The Heavenly Prodigy Assembly held between the three realms was certainly not like an ordinary Dharma assembly, where the competition was merely a friendly exchange and amicable contest between the two sides.

Absolutely impossible!

The Heavenly Prodigy Assembly is an alternative form of warfare, a means used by the high-level officials of the Three Great Realms to test each other's strength.

In this process, it would be ideal to take the opportunity to weaken the opponent's potential.

Therefore, any force with a modicum of self-awareness understands that the Heavenly Prodigy Assembly is a brutal and bloody competition, and it's really hard to say whether the disciples they send out will return alive.

However, most forces did not hesitate and directly dispatched their own geniuses.

The logic is simple: if you're killed head-on in a fight between opponents of the same level, how can you cope with the even more brutal war that follows?

Of course, the major powers wouldn't actually send out all their elites; they would leave a large portion behind.

Take the Yang Household for example. Among the top geniuses who participated in the Heavenly Prodigy Assembly, only a few, such as Yang Xuanwu, Yang Xuanyang, Yang Taishan, Yang Lingjian, and Yang Huangge, participated. Others, such as Yang Yuqi, Yang Yusheng, and Yang Yujin, did not participate.

On the pitch-black earth, there was no arena, only a hemispherical Formation barrier with a diameter of a hundred miles.

Inside the barrier, there are many smaller barriers, layered upon each other, resembling a giant beehive.

This is the venue for the Heavenly Prodigy Assembly.

According to the realm division, from low to high, the first to begin is the battle of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Within the golden barrier, Yang Lingjian held his sword with both hands, his eyes clear as a lake on the plateau, making one feel as if they could see into the pure and innocent depths of his heart, like Pure Yang child.

His opponent was a ten-foot-tall, earth-yellow demonic tortoise. Its shell was covered with dense mountain-like patterns, giving it a sense of weight and vastness, as if one were facing a majestic mountain, exuding immense pressure.

This is a Mountain-Weight Turtle, one of the Seven Great Royal Clans of the Ten Thousand Demon Continent. It possesses the Divine Beast Bloodline, is most skilled in defense, and has immense strength.

"Battle, begin!"

A line of large characters suddenly appeared.

Yang Lingjian's eyes brightened slightly, and an extreme sharpness emanated from his body. In a daze, it seemed as if a vast and magnificent sun was slowly rising from the east, and Pure Yang power was being poured down.

Chant!!

The Jianming rang out, but even faster than the sound was the crimson sword light, which pounced like a fire dragon baring its fangs and claws. In an instant, layers of flame ripples spread out.

Since Yang Lingjian obtained the Pure Yang Sword and Elixir Scripture a few years ago, he resolutely changed his Cultivation Method.

Following the Secret Method recorded therein, he refined his Life-Bound Law Treasure into a Pure Yang Sword Pellet. The Spiritual Power underwent a tremendous Bloodline Metamorphosis, not only giving birth to wisps of Pure Yang Flame, but also more than doubling the sharpness of the Sword Intent itself, resulting in a surge in strength.

The fiery red sword light rushed towards them fiercely, like a continuous sea of fire.

Upon seeing this, Mountain-Weight Turtle's pupils contracted sharply. It even felt that its shell, which it had always been proud of, might not be able to withstand the terrifying sharpness of the Flying Sword.

"Moving Mountains!" With a low roar, the Mountain-Weight Turtle unleashed its signature move.

Buzz!!

Layer upon layer of earthen waves rolled out, and a phantom of a ten-zhang-high mountain peak materialized, standing on the Mountain-Weight Turtle, giving it a thick layer of armor.

Tear!!

However, it was of little use. Although both were at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, Yang Lingjian was far stronger. With the Pure Yang Sword Pellet in his Dantian, he could cut even Second-Tier Upper-Grade defensive Law Treasure in half, let alone this mountain phantom.

As the sword flashed, the blazing Pure Yang Flame burned fiercely, and the mountain peak snapped in two and fell to the ground.

Then, the sword light, its momentum undiminished, struck the thick, earthen-yellow tortoise shell.

"Roar!!"

The Mountain-Weight Turtle howled in pain. In its perception, the sword light was like a raging fire dragon, stretching out its claws, first tearing the mountain apart, and then the dragon swung its tail, directly slicing its own shell in two.

Fortunately, he was considered a genius among his kind, and his Divine Beast Bloodline was even more concentrated. Although his tortoise shell was broken, his Fleshly Body strength was not weak, and he managed to save his life.

However, just as this thought flashed through his mind, another Sword-Ray streaked across the sky, its power no less than the previous strike.

Pfft!!

Blood gushed out, and the huge, ferocious head hit the ground with a thud.

Yang Lingjian remained expressionless, forming a sword shape with his fingers and retracting the Sword Pellet.

Then he stepped forward and collected the corpse of the Mountain-Weight Turtle.

The rules of the Heavenly Prodigy Tournament state that if you can kill your opponent, you will obtain everything from them, including their storage Law Treasures, corpse, and even their soul!

Above, on the golden light screen, Yang Lingjian's name is imprinted on it, followed by the word "", which means that he has gained a few points.
