I'll go in your place

Su Zhenyuan's gaze swept over the Lin Clan and the Jiang Family.

Jiang Qiuyu was filled with grief upon hearing of Jiang Xuming's passing, for he was, after all, a rare and outstanding Heavenly Prodigy from the Jiang Family.

As for the Lin Clan, Lin Jinrou, and two others... were also quite impressive, but I'm afraid they weren't much better than Jiang Xuming.

Not only Su Zhenyuan, Lin Daogong's expression also turned ugly. The other Aristocratic Clan patriarchs also looked at their own Heavenly Prodigy, and then realized with grief and despair that with their Heavenly Prodigy's strength, going up there would probably only be suicide!

That's too strong! The Chi Xu's combat power is already at the ceiling level within a thousand-year Soul Lifespan. Could it be that he only sent one person to fight and he was going to defeat them all?!

As for a war of attrition... it's pointless. With the All Heavens Star Meridian, the opponent can instantly recover to their peak condition.

Unless, of course, some Secret Art can inflict irreversible and irreparable damage upon it.

However, performing this Secret Art also causes great harm to the practitioner.

"What, haven't decided who to send? Or are you just short of people to send?"

The Purple-Robed Middle-Aged Man looked down at Su Zhenyuan and the others, and seeing their somber expressions, a smile crept onto his lips.

"Father..."

In the silence, Su Muqing took a step forward and looked at Su Zhenyuan.

Su Zhenyuan's body trembled slightly as he looked at his daughter. His eyes were filled with complex emotions, pain, and Human Race. He was a qualified father, but as a father, he was a failure. Putting his daughter in danger might ruin her Future.

Even Su Muqing might not be much stronger than Jiang Xuming, who had just taken drugs and burned his Primordial Spirit. This battle is a gamble with everything.

But... he didn't say no.

Otherwise, Jiang Xuming's death in that desperate battle would have been a great injustice.

"Don't go."

Li Hao's expression changed slightly when he saw that Su Muqing was really going to make a move.

Although he could sense that Su Muqing was very strong, that Demon Prodigies was equally terrifying.

Seeing Li Hao grab her wrist, Su Muqing's expression changed, a flash of disgust crossing her eyes. She turned and looked coldly at Li Hao, saying:

"I'm not going. Are you going to go in my place?"

"Um!"

To his surprise, Li Hao agreed immediately, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.

Su Muqing was taken aback.

Everyone had witnessed how strong Chi Xu had been; even if Lin Jinrou and the others were to take the stage, it would be tantamount to suicide.

Neither Su Wanqing nor Su Wanxue were a match for the other.

Li Hao... She gazed at the young man; was he truly willing to die for her?

This was no child's play, no joke; she was momentarily stunned.

But she quickly regained her senses, her face darkening as she said, "Don't joke around! This involves the entire Immortal City and countless immortal citizens. Moreover, if we suffer consecutive defeats, I'll still have to participate in the third battle!"

As she spoke, she looked at Su Zhenyuan and, seeing the look in her father's eyes, she understood that he had tacitly agreed.

She whispered her thanks to her father, and then, under the watchful eyes of her father filled with vicissitudes, she rushed towards the Demon Ancestor's Dao Arena.

But at that moment, a figure flashed past and blocked Su Muqing's path.

"I'll go in your place. I will never lose."

Li Hao said.

"Get out of the way!"

Su Muqing had no time to pay attention to Li Hao. Suddenly, Movement Method turned around and rushed towards the Dao Arena, bypassing Li Hao.

Li Hao's expression changed. The other party was Ying Xiaoxiao's Reincarnated Body, and he didn't want to see her get into trouble again before she even Awakening.

The girl had already perished and shattered before his eyes; now, was he to witness it again?

He instantly unleashed his power, wanting to be the first to rush into the Dao Arena, but suddenly a force enveloped him, like an iron wall, restricting his body and suppressing all his power within his body, unable to release even a fraction of it.

"Don't bother her, kid. Whoever you are, just wait quietly!"

Lin Daogong glanced indifferently at Li Hao, his brows furrowing at the sight of Li Hao entangled with Su Muqing, after all, Su Muqing was the Lin Clan's daughter-in-law.

"Let me go!"

Li Hao's expression changed, his Qi and Blood surged, and he tried to forcefully break free.

However, the opponent was Half-step Emperor Lord, and the gap was too vast. Even if he were Immortal King Realm, Li Hao would not be able to withstand him now, let alone suppress Half-step Emperor Lord Immortal King Realm with a wave of his hand.

In response to Li Hao, the force propelled him back to the Su Clan members.

"Haotian."

Su Wanqing stepped forward, her expression shifting. She stared intently at Li Hao; was he really willing to die for her sister?

She suddenly realized that perhaps they had both underestimated each other's feelings for Su Muqing and misunderstood each other's true intentions.

Perhaps the young man before them hadn't been lying from the beginning; he was telling the truth. He had come solely for Su Muqing herself, and it had nothing to do with the Su Clan or cultivation.

"Haotian, just wait, you're just going to your death if you go up there."

Seeing Li Hao's actions, Su Zhenyuan felt a touch of unspoken relief. Although the young man's motives were impure and he was obsessed with Su Muqing, his willingness to step forward for her still moved Su Muqing.

Li Hao seemed not to hear their words, and looked towards the Demon Ancestor's Dao Arena, only to find that the Sealing Array Barrier had been closed.

His blood was surging, a feeling of tumultuous explosion, yet he was also in a state of extreme cold and calm, staring directly at everything, as if his Primordial Spirit had separated from his body, a feeling of his consciousness vibrating.

Absolutely no... can go wrong.

He didn't know if he could remain rational if the scene of the Southern Region Assembly Battle were to repeat itself before his eyes.

At this moment, with Su Muqing's appearance, the Heavenly Prodigy various Aristocratic Clan breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, only Su Muqing can resolve the current predicament.

Otherwise, if the opponent were to kill all the Heavenly Prodigy of the Human Race with just one person, it would truly be a dark day for the Human Race.

"It's Su Clan's True Phoenix!"

"I've seen her portrait. I know her, Su Muqing!"

"So Su Muqing made a move so quickly? Is it possible that apart from the Su Clan's True Phoenix, no one else can pose a threat to that Demon?"

"Perhaps they want the Su Clan's True Phoenix to kill him, giving him no chance to beg for mercy!"

In the Thirty-Six Thousand Immortal Cities, countless people discussed the matter, some with joy and others with worry. What if Su Muqing were to lose again?

Inside the Dao Arena, Chi Xu squinted as he sized up Su Muqing as she entered.

He recognized the Human Race girl before him; she was also their primary target for elimination on this mission.

As reflected in the Soul Mirror Dao Arena, Su Muqing's Soul Lifespan was revealed, which was only a little over five hundred years.

Soul Lifespan is only about half that of Chi Xu, which is a huge difference for Heavenly Prodigy.

Seeing this, many people couldn't help but feel nervous.

"So you've finally decided to send out the real deal?"

Chi Xu grinned slightly, his eyes revealing Bloodlust. This was different from his previous killing intent towards Jiang Xuming; it was a strong desire to devour.

If he can consume this top-tier Human Race Bloodline, he will surely advance further, stand out from the top ranks, and truly become invincible within the same realm!

Su Muqing's eyes were deep and cold. She didn't speak or reply. Instead, she flipped her hand, and a long sword flew out and landed in her palm.

With thunderous roars tearing through the sky, the Slaughter of this battle began.

Bang!

Su Muqing unleashed her full power, and the Nine Flowers Nine Sequences Immortal Seal Extreme Realm appeared on her forehead. A Time Power, ancient and profound, accompanied her sword as it suddenly lashed out.

With this sword strike, she channeled all her strength, time seemed to stand still, and in the blink of an eye, she had already completed hundreds of overlapping sword strikes.

As the sword flashed, she reversed Time and Space, arriving at the moment when Chi Xu was least prepared.

The Sword Light cleaved through space and Time and Space, and the layering and tearing power of space stripped Chi Xu's body into countless fragments, which were buried in layers of Void fragments.

In the blink of an eye, the once arrogant Chi Xu died again!

Countless people watched, breathless, stunned, and incredulous.

But this time there was no cheering, only tension.

Jiang Xuming did the same thing before, killing Chi Xu with a single shot at the start, only to have the outcome reversed. Will it happen again now?

"The Origin of Time, Sevenfold?!"

Dao Arena, the Purple-Robed Middle-Aged Man's expression changed, and the Golden-Eyed Middle-Aged Man and the other cold and beautiful woman beside him also had slight changes in their eyes.

The Time Origin, although other Heavenly Prodigy can also master it through cultivation, including some geniuses with the Nine Flowers Nine Sequences Immortal Seal Heavenly Prodigy, all master the Time Origin.

However, there are differences in the level of mastery, and the further one progresses, the more difficult it becomes. Therefore, most Heavenly Prodigy only Mastery the Time Origin to the point of being able to condense Immortal Seal, and then improve it slightly.

Delving into the Time Origin requires an immense amount of energy and time, and there's no guarantee of success.

As the most mysterious and ancient power among the Nine Orders, Time is unfathomable. The Sixth Layer level of the Time Origin alone is enough to easily defeat many Heavenly Prodigy of the same level.

All immortal Immortal Arts and Great Emperor Bloodline are like puppets before the manipulation of time. No matter what methods you use, if you were reversed back to your infancy, would you die?

Chi Xu's body shattered. Jiang Xuming's earlier attack wasn't entirely without benefit to the Human Race. At least, it made Su Muqing aware of the function of the Spirit Blood Strange Body. She raised her hand and waved it, not activating her Heaven and Earth Meridian to absorb the Immortal Power of Heaven and Earth, but instead sealing and isolating all the Immortal Power in the Dao Arena.

She did not release her Immortal Power from the Dao Arena, thus limiting her own power.

She simply sealed it away in another timeline.

At this very moment, within the ten minutes before and after Chi Xu's death, there was no Immortal Power.

This was Su Muqing's deduction based on the fluctuations in the time Principle Aura that Chi Xu had previously displayed, judging that his Time Origin realm was at most only the Fifth Layer.

Just in case, she channeled her Immortal Power into the timeline that only the top level of the Sixth Layer realm could access.

The Dao Arena fell silent, with only Su Muqing standing quietly in place, surrounded by immortal light and Divine Power. She looked stunningly beautiful and arrogant, like True Phoenix Heavenly Prodigy mortals, looking down upon the world.

Time passed slowly, one minute, three minutes, Chi Xu still hadn't appeared.

Countless faces beamed with barely contained ecstasy and awe.

The previously formidable Chi Xu was no match for a single sword strike from Su Muqing.

The many Demon Prodigies on the deck also changed color, looking at Su Muqing with surprise and suspicion.

If Chi Xu is defeated, most of them will also be defeated if they go into battle!

"Um?"

Suddenly, Su Muqing's expression changed slightly. She saw Dao Light shining into the Dao Arena, which turned out to be a beam of light from a distant Xingchen.

Her expression changed. As a top-tier Heavenly Prodigy protected by Xingchen, the light shone down, and a trace of Immortal Power appeared in the Void.

In just a moment, the Immortal Power rapidly condensed, and in the blink of an eye, it was about to transform into the appearance of Chi Xu figure.

"Solidification!"

Su Muqing acted swiftly, Time Solidification, intending to turn life into death!

But a torrent of Blood Qi surged from the outline of the Chi Xu, transforming into endless Blood Qi that resisted the power of Time Reversal.

His Blood Dao Origin Realm has just broken through to the seventh level of Origin, and has reached the intermediate level.

Under the erosion and resistance of this boundless Blood Qi, even the Time Origin could not penetrate the sea of blood and Time Reversal. Countless timelines were obscured and could not be found in the sea of blood.

Soon, by studying the Blood Qi, Chi Xu found his sealed Immortal Power. The moment he touched it, his True Form condensed, and all his power returned.

The cheers abruptly ceased. Su Muqing's face turned icy cold. She hadn't expected that the opponent hadn't died even after all that. The guardian Xingchen needed to be shattered, but that required even greater power!

"That was close..."

Chi Xu's face was gloomy, and he felt a sense of unease. He almost didn't make it back. If he hadn't just happened to devour Jiang Xuming and broken through his Blood Dao Origin, increasing his strength, he would have really perished!

If the woman before him had been the one to fight the first battle, he would probably be dead by now.

Thinking of this, he felt a chill of fear and his eyes turned fierce.

"Die!"

Chi Xu summoned the Black Cauldron and smashed it Past Su Muqing.

At the same time, he raised his hand and swallowed several Demon Medicine in succession. He was wary of the power that his opponent had wielded with just one sword strike.

He disregarded the risk to himself and immediately burned his spiritual blood, his Aura rapidly rising to the Peak Immortal Lord Realm, leaping from the eighth level to the Tenth Layer!

The Black Cauldron pressed down like Mount Tai. Su Muqing raised her hand and reversed time, but the Time and Space before her was pulled by a strong force. She could only reverse so much that the Demon Medicine and spiritual blood of Chi Xu had not yet taken effect. She made another move, and the Sword Light rose up, splitting Chi Xu's body in two.

Bang!

Chi Xu's body split open again, but this time, the splitting body sprayed out a large cloud of blood mist, which surged towards Su Muqing.

Su Muqing's expression changed, but it was too late to stop; her entire body was soaked in blood.

A surge of Primordial Spirit energy suddenly attacked her Primordial Spirit in her sea of consciousness.

"Die!"

Chi Xu let out a ferocious roar, and with two consecutive sword strikes, he lost his confidence in the fight. Despite his many powers, he was no match for the Time Origin Seventh Level. He had no choice but to fight desperately with his Primordial Spirit.

Although Su Muqing's Primordial Spirit was also very strong, it was not much different from Chi Xu's. When they collided, she immediately felt her Primordial Spirit tremble. She hurriedly used the Blade of Time to cut open his primordial Primordial Spirit. Each cut weakened his Primordial Spirit even more. However, Chi Xu had already gone mad, and his Primordial Spirit spontaneously combusted. Combined with the blood curse of the Spirit Blood Race, it left a deep mark on Su Muqing's Primordial Spirit.

Su Muqing's face turned pale. Time Solidification, and she began to heal rapidly, but the mark remained like Curse, clinging to her like a maggot, and could not be dispelled.

This force continued to erode her Primordial Spirit, weakening her relentlessly, unless her father intervened.

But if she did that, she would have to leave the Dao Arena.

Her face was grim. She condensed the Time Origin into the Pseudo-Realm- domain, enveloping the mark, and finally managed to barely stop the rate of erosion. However, it only slowed it down; the mark was still eroding at an extremely weak and slow speed, which shocked and terrified her.

Outside, the body of the Chi Xu figure inside was shattered, Su Muqing once again swung her sword, completely annihilating it.

The opponent's Primordial Spirit has been extinguished, and even if they possess Immortal Power, they will be unable to condense Immortal Body again.

For a long time, there was no sound in the Dao Arena, but the Purple-Robed Middle-Aged Man and Su Zhenyuan and the others had already sensed the death of the Chi Xu.

"The Time Origin Seventh Level..."

The Purple-Robed Middle-Aged Man gritted his teeth, his face grim and ugly. This battle didn't seem as big as Jiang Xuming's, but both sides used their strongest power, and the outcome was decided in the blink of an eye.

Aside from their cultivation level, Heavenly Prodigy will never miss any opportunity to kill their opponent; they will seize even the slightest opening.

Su Muqing's face was as cold as frost as she looked up at the other Demon Prodigies: "Who's next to come and die?"

Her words were cold and resounded throughout the room.

At the same moment, it sparked countless cheers of ecstasy on Gusu Emperor Star.

Human Race won! They won the second battle!

On the deck, the faces of the Demon Prodigies were grim; none of them had expected that Chi Xu would die so quickly.

Eighth Level of Immortal Lord Realm, yet he was actually killed by Su Muqing was at the seventh level.

"She is afflicted with the God Devouring Blood Curse left by the Chi Xu, which even the Time Origin cannot seal away. As long as this drags on, she will inevitably decline. Which of you will go? Just stall for time."

The Purple-Robed Middle-Aged Man had eyes as bright as candlelight, seeing through Su Muqing's state, and turned to speak to the crowd.

Upon hearing of the formidable reputation of the God Devouring Blood Curse, the faces of all the Demon Prodigies changed, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that although Chi Xu died, he made some contributions.

"I'll do it; anyone else going up there will just be suicide."

A Demon Prodigies spoke coldly.

The Purple-Robed Middle-Aged Man glanced at him, thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement.

The opponent is one of the Five Heavenly Prodigies of this event, and is no less than Chi Xu, and is even three points stronger.

This Demon Prodigies then leisurely entered the Demon Ancestor's Dao Arena.

Before the thunder even rumbled, he had already unleashed his power and Aura, revealing that he, like Su Muqing, was at the Immortal Lord Realm Seventh Layer.

His Soul Lifespan was only seven hundred years.

The instant the thunder roared, a Nightmare Power extended outwards, and the eyes of this Demon Prodigies turned purplish-black. Behind him, an ancient Nightmare Phantom emerged, its form ferocious. The phantom was much clearer than the Tai Xu Divine that Jiang Xuming had summoned earlier, clearly indicating that its Mastery over the Bloodline power was superior to Jiang Xuming's.

In a mere instant, the Nightmare Phantom opened its eyes, Dao Arena was immediately enveloped in a purplish-black light.

Su Muqing's Primordial Spirit trembled, and she felt drowsy.

She hurriedly tried to use the Origin of Time, but felt weak and powerless all over, unable to muster any Immortal Power or Divine Sense.

"Not good..."

Su Muqing's heart trembled violently. The other party used his trump card right away. If her Primordial Spirit hadn't been strong enough, and if the Time Origin hadn't been constantly reversing the time around her, preventing her from staying on the same timeline as the other party, she would probably have fallen into a deep sleep on the spot.

The opponent was simply cheating, using power that was not at the Immortal Lord Realm.

Although this power can only put it into a deep sleep, it is still somewhat invincible among those of the same realm.

If he's truly unconscious, wouldn't he be completely at their mercy?

"I... I give up..."

She gritted her teeth and, in the instant her consciousness faded and she fell into Nightmare, uttered three words, but they were as weak as a whisper.

Even though they're not on the same timeline, the opponent's Nightmare power can still affect her. If her Primordial Spirit hadn't been damaged and she had maintained her previous peak condition, extending the timeline further, she might have been able to resist. But now it's too late.

Bang!

The Sealing Array Barrier broke, and two figures rushed out almost simultaneously, arriving beside Su Muqing.
