Liu Yunxi had waited for this day for far too long.

Today, she would prove herself before all the Sects of the Barren Continent!

Swish, swish, swish!

At this moment, everyone's gaze turned towards the Violet Firmament Sect.

Within the four regions, the three first-rate Sects had solidified their positions, and no one would challenge them, but the Northern Region was different!

Everyone knew that, besides the competition between the first-rate Sects, the battle between the Azure Mist Sect and the Violet Firmament Sect was the biggest highlight of this Sect Assembly!

Moreover, the Violet Firmament Sect, which should have been declining, no longer possessed the aura of a first-rate Sect, but today, its Sect's Holy Son Ye Xuan had won both the Alchemy and Artifact Forging competitions, shocking Tianxuan City.

This added a bit of suspense to the already decided competition.

"Actually, there's no suspense in the battle between these two Sects. The Azure Mist Sect now has two Heavenly Gangs!"

"That's right, the title of the Northern Region's number one Sect will change hands today!"

Even though Ye Xuan's victories had brought considerable glory to the Violet Firmament Sect.

But in the end, those were the paths of Artifact Forging and Alchemy, while the Sect competition relied on martial strength!

"Heh..."

At this moment, Chu Wan'er, seated on the Violet Firmament Sect's platform, merely scoffed lightly.

"You? You're worthy to challenge me?"

Her hair fell down, and her water-like eyes glanced down from the high platform.

"Chu Wan'er, what are you still pretending for!?"

"I, Liu Yunxi, will prove today that I am the Northern Region's number one Saintess!"

Liu Yunxi was completely enraged by Chu Wan'er's disdainful gaze.

"Then today, I'll give you a chance!"

With that, Chu Wan'er on the high platform stood up, her lotus steps treading the void, descending onto the platform below.

"Hmph, putting on airs!"

Seeing Chu Wan'er come down, Liu Yunxi was secretly delighted.

Immediately, she unleashed her full aura, her Heavenly Gang Dharma Idol and Spiritual Body phantom bursting forth from her body simultaneously!

Boom!

In an instant, a hundred-zhang cloud of flowing light appeared above her head, radiant and shimmering, with surging waves of energy!

"Hmm!? Isn't this Liu Yunxi a Treasure Body? But now it looks like the power of a Spiritual Body!?"

"This Saintess Liu, sure enough, was hiding something!"

"Her Spiritual Body talent is indeed not inferior to Chu Wan'er in the slightest!"

"Besides, Chu Wan'er was injured two years ago, and I don't know if she has recovered!"

For a moment, everyone exclaimed in surprise at Liu Yunxi's imposing aura.

This battle seemed to have no suspense at all!

"Churan, Wan'er can win, right?"

In the crowd below, Nangong Fei asked while munching on a spiritual fruit.

"Although that Liu Yunxi has advanced to the Heavenly Gang Realm, she is definitely no match for Sister Wan'er!" Lin Churan smiled, without the slightest hint of nervousness.

"Oh?"

Nangong Fei was still somewhat doubtful.

"You, are still too weak..."

But at this moment, Chu Wan'er, who had descended onto the platform, also raised her fair hand.

Buzz!

In an instant, the Emperor's blood within her slightly trembled, and as her dantian shook violently, her Heavenly Gang aura suddenly burst forth from her body!

Behind and above her head, a phantom of an ancient tree flickered, its oppressive might overwhelming everything, instantly suppressing all the aura emanating from Liu Yunxi!

"Something's not right!"

"This, this doesn't seem like an ordinary Spiritual Body!"

At this moment, on the second high platform, the Sect leaders exclaimed in surprise.

The ancient tree phantom above Chu Wan'er's head was surrounded by a halo of holy light, with wisps of Dao rhythm permeating the air. The intensity of its aura was absolutely incomparable to Liu Yunxi's Spiritual Body!

"This is, a Quasi-Dao Body!?"

"The Violet Firmament Sect's Saintess Chu Wan'er, her talent is actually a Quasi-Dao Body!"

At this moment, the people of the Lin Tian Sword Sect also had slight changes in their expressions.

Previously, Ji Fengliu, the strongest prodigy in the four regions, possessed a top-tier Spiritual Body and was recognized as the strongest talent.

But now, this title of strongest talent was about to be handed over to Chu Wan'er!

Ji Fengliu and Wen Yuyan's expressions were also grave.

At this moment, they actually recalled the scene of Chu Wan'er single-handedly challenging the Sword Sect two years ago.

Even the peerless Ji Fengliu had failed to defeat Chu Wan'er.

After that, Chu Wan'er's foundation was damaged, her cultivation stagnated, and her reputation faded.

Never had they imagined that the formidable Chu Wan'er of the past had not only returned, but also seemed to have become even stronger!

Ji Fengliu's large hand clenched tightly in his sleeve.

Today, it seemed it wouldn't be so easy for him to win the top spot in the Grand Tournament.

On the first high platform, Xuan Zhou also opened his eyes, his gaze fixed on Chu Wan'er's graceful back.

"Quasi-Dao Body, interesting. Uncle Gu, go investigate this woman's information!"

"Yes!" Behind Xuan Zhou, the old man in black nodded, and then his figure disappeared.

"Quasi-Dao Body?"

"This, this is impossible!"

At this moment, on the platform, Liu Yunxi, feeling the endless pressure Chu Wan'er brought her, her pretty face also twisted.

Her talent had clearly advanced to Spiritual Body and entered the Heavenly Gang, so why was she still suppressed by Chu Wan'er!?

"I won't lose to you!"

Under shame and unwillingness, Liu Yunxi's face was already distorted.

She floated into the air, offered her magic sword, her fingers forming seals frantically, the Heavenly Gang Dharma Idol blessing the Spiritual Body's brilliance, transforming into nine Azure Cloud Sword Qi, directly slashing towards Liu Yunxi!

Liu Yunxi cultivated Daoist techniques, and this Flowing Cloud Sword Array was one of the Azure Mist Sect's secret unique skills!

Its power was not overbearing, but it excelled in being continuous!

Liu Yunxi used her strongest Daoist technique right from the start!

"Overestimating yourself!"

But Chu Wan'er, enveloped in the light of the Quasi-Dao Body Dharma Idol, with a light laugh, raised her fair hand.

In an instant, the ancient tree branches behind her surged, transforming into a hundred-foot-long whip, sweeping down!

The whip was surrounded by azure light, traversing the void.

Crack, crack!

The moment Liu Yunxi's Flowing Cloud Sword Qi touched the long whip, it shattered one after another!

It couldn't resist even a bit!?

"No, this is impossible!"

It wasn't until her nine Azure Cloud Sword Qi were shattered and the long whip had swept in front of her that Liu Yunxi, who had recovered her senses, exclaimed in shock.

Never had she imagined that Chu Wan'er's combat power would be so strong!

But she still tried to condense a cloud shield in front of her at the last moment, using all her aura, attempting to resist.

Boom!

But the long whip struck down, with the force of a thousand jun, the cloud shield exploded, and Liu Yunxi was also struck hard, directly whipped off the stage!

Hiss!

For a time, looking at the sky full of cloud debris splashing on the stage, the cultivators of the various sects in the Barren Continent couldn't help but gasp.

Never had they imagined that this highly anticipated battle would end like this!?

Azure Mist Sect's Liu Yunxi was defeated in one move, completely crushed!

"Yunxi!"

At this moment, it wasn't until Liu Yunxi fell heavily outside the platform that Xiao Chengfeng and the others rushed over.

But at this time, Liu Yunxi's blue clothes were stained with blood, and her pretty face was extremely pale.

With just one whip, she was severely injured by Chu Wan'er.

"Vulnerable."

On the stage, Chu Wan'er's outstretched hand slowly retracted.

Her tone was calm, as if the overbearing long whip just now was as casual as waving her sleeve.

But these four words, falling into Liu Yunxi's ears, were like killing and condemning her heart!

She looked at Ye Xuan on the high platform, who didn't even glance over!

Endless shame almost drowned Liu Yunxi.

"Brother Chengfeng, avenge me!"

Liu Yunxi wept blood, her teeth almost grinding to pieces.

"Yunxi, don't worry!"

"I've got this!"

At this moment, Xiao Chengfeng was even more enraged.

Whether for Liu Yunxi's sake or to enter Cloud Palace Academy, he had to defeat Chu Wan'er!

"Just watch, and see how I crush all the disciples of the Violet Firmament Sect!"

Immediately, Xiao Chengfeng entrusted Liu Yunxi to the Sect Master's care and flew directly onto the arena.

Buzz!

A long sword was drawn, its spiritual radiance sharp, encircling the blade, its tip pointing directly at Chu Wan'er!

"Your opponent is me!"

But facing the furious Xiao Chengfeng, Chu Wan'er merely sneered and turned back to the second platform.

"Your opponent is not me."

Xiao Chengfeng was stunned, "What do you mean?!"

"If not you, then who?"

The cultivators from the various sects in the audience exchanged confused glances.

The opponent isn't Chu Wan'er?!

Isn't she the only Heavenly Gang Realm disciple in the entire Violet Firmament Sect right now?

Who else could fight Xiao Chengfeng?

"It's me!"

Just as all the cultivators were puzzled, a voice suddenly echoed throughout the arena from the second platform.

Swish!

All eyes converged at once.

Huh?!

But when everyone saw the person who spoke rise, they were all astonished and doubtful.

Even Liu Yunxi couldn't help but widen her eyes!

Because the one who answered the challenge was none other than Ye Xuan, who had risen from the Violet Firmament Sect's seat!

Ye Xuan, is going to represent the Violet Firmament Sect in the battle!?

Is he crazy!?

After a moment of silence, a clamor erupted in the arena.

Qi Chuan shook his head.

Who is Xiao Chengfeng?

He is the man favored by Master Ji. Xiao Chengfeng was merely hiding his strength before. Even if Ye Xuan has good comprehension and is the double champion of the Artificer Dao and Pill Dao, he will undoubtedly lose against Xiao Chengfeng!

"Interesting!"

Xuan Zhou rested his chin on his hand, looking at the lowly Ye Xuan below, and became interested.

He didn't know what kind of confidence this person had to dare challenge a Heavenly Gang Realm cultivator.

"Chu Wan'er is enough..."

Ji Fengliu also frowned. He really couldn't understand the Violet Firmament Sect's strategy.

In his heart, Chu Wan'er could absolutely crush Xiao Chengfeng right now.

"It's over, the Azure Mist Sect is really going to become a laughingstock!"

But Nangong Fei and Lin Churan exchanged glances and couldn't help but feel sorry for Xiao Chengfeng.

"What, do you really think this Ye Xuan can win?"

"Being good at the Pill Dao and Artificer Dao is useless in this arena!" Nangong Shou frowned from the side.

But Lin Churan and the other just smiled without saying a word.

Having experienced the secret realm trip, they knew how terrifying Ye Xuan was!

"Brother Chengfeng, cripple him!"

At this moment, on the Azure Mist Sect's platform, Liu Yunxi's eyes were bloodshot as she roared in a low voice.

She couldn't let Ye Xuan laugh at her!

"Hmph, Ye Xuan, you're here to die!?"

But even if Liu Yunxi didn't say it, he wouldn't let Ye Xuan off.

The humiliation at the Marquis Manor banquet must be repaid with blood!

"Death?"

"Ye Xuan has never known the meaning of the word 'death'."

Ye Xuan walked down the high platform step by step.

"Heh, a mere Mortal Body, still daring to grandstand even now?!"

"I only need to wave my hand to kill you!"

Buzz!

As his voice fell, Xiao Chengfeng's aura surged, a gale sweeping across the arena, rushing straight at Ye Xuan!

Who was he?

A Heavenly Gang Realm Holy Son, number one in the Hundred Refinements Tower, and a sworn brother of Marquis Qi!

Only Ji Fengliu was worthy to be his opponent!

"You are like an ant!"

But at that moment, Ye Xuan, having arrived on the arena, suddenly shuddered, his aura erupting from his body in an instant.

A surge of Heavenly Gang radiance erupted around him, instantly shattering the incoming torrent of wind!

What!?

In an instant, the entire arena was as silent as a secluded valley.

Everyone looked at each other, shocked in their hearts.

This Ye Xuan had actually hidden his cultivation!?

He was not an uncultivable Mortal Body!
