Blue Xin and Dan Qiulin reaching this step had been entirely within Bai Yang's expectations. One had inherited the legacy of a Heavenly Emperor Realm expert, while the other had carved out his own path. It was only a matter of time. He just hadn't expected it to happen so soon. On an ordinary day like this, both of them had advanced at once, catching him completely off guard.
"So you two are competing, huh? Couldn't you at least have waited for me?"
Grumbling inwardly, Bai Yang mused that both Lan Xin and Dan Qiulin had taken the path of the sword. Now that they had both just entered the Earth Emperor Realm, which of them was stronger?
That was a tough one to call. Dan Qiulin had been able to cleave Sect Leader Duan, who was badly injured, with his sword back when he was in the Human King Realm. By now, his strength had surely reached an unfathomable level. Lan Xin was no pushover either. Though she had no astonishing feats to her name, she had an Imperial Weapon in hand. If she could unleash even a tenth of its power, one sweep of her sword would flatten everything in its path. Who could stand against that?
So, of course, personal strength mattered, but equipment couldn't be overlooked either. Lan Xin wielded an Imperial Weapon with a range of ten thousand li. Heh, I'd let you run nine thousand nine hundred li first...
But seriously, when would I finally make another breakthrough?
Bai Yang already had all the conditions needed to enter the True God Realm, yet he still couldn't see a way forward. He had only just finished learning the Dao Scripture, and hadn't even started properly cultivating it yet. Damn it...
All in all, this was
