Defeating Another Ancestor

"As expected, he defeated the enemy in one fell swoop. He truly lives up to his reputation as Heavenly Visitor, still sweeping through opponents within the Great Grandmaster Realm."

"I think he's a disciple trained by the remnants of the Heavenly Emperor City; his strength is terrifying."

"This person truly lives up to his Innate Sword Body. That sword strike just now attacked both his physical body and primordial spirit—it was terrifying. His Sword Dao has already reached a state of perfection within the Great Grandmaster Realm. If he grows up in the future, he will undoubtedly become the leading figure of our Sword Cultivator lineage."

Those Venerables who came with Li Jiusheng were extremely excited, especially the sword-wielding cultivators, who were easily infected by Li Jiusheng's overwhelming fighting style.

Sword Cultivator should be like this: fearless and unwavering. If something can be resolved with a sword, don't bother with words.

The Venerable One, who had been knocked off the Great Grandmaster Arena by Li Jiusheng, stared wide-eyed, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He thought he was invincible within the Great Grandmaster Realm. At least he couldn't imagine anyone defeating him so quickly. This wasn't a fight to the death that ended in a narrow defeat; it was a complete crushing defeat within the Great Grandmaster Peak realm.

"So strong, how is this possible? I spent a full hundred years tempering my physical body and cultivating the Daoist magic within the Great Grandmaster Realm, perfecting this realm before breaking through to the Venerable realm. Now, having returned to the Great Grandmaster Peak Venerable Realm as a Venerable, my mastery of the Daoist magic and the use of my physical body are absolutely perfect. How could someone defeat me with a single sword strike?" The elderly Venerable was going crazy. He couldn't accept this fact; he had been defeated so easily.

Having passed four rounds in a row, he thought he could hold his own on the Great Grandmaster Arena and at least secure a ranking.

But Li Jiusheng's sword strike shattered his illusions completely.

On the stage, Li Jiusheng ignored the shock and discussion of the crowd and calmly looked at his second opponent.

Yes, the second opponent came up very quickly.

In a contest on the ring, victory is determined by sheer numbers. Even though some knew Li Jiusheng was very strong, they still refused to believe it.

But he came up incredibly fast, and he went down just as fast.

Because True Master Zhang of Dragon Tiger Mountain exposed his Innate Sword Body, Li Jiusheng stopped using physical strength and only used swordsmanship to fight his enemies.

Another sword strike!

This sword strike, imbued with Pure Yang consciousness, swiftly swept the second opponent off the stage.

One Sword Severs Spring and Autumn!

This sword strike caught the second opponent off guard, leaving him somewhat dazed as he fell off the stage.

Going up and coming down was a matter of moments; he didn't even see clearly how Li Jiusheng made his move.

But as he stepped onto the arena, a Sword Fiend swept over him, making him feel as if he had fallen into an abyss and been swallowed by darkness.

When his eyes lit up, he was already below the Great Grandmaster Arena.

The second opponent smiled wryly; the gap was too vast, so vast that he couldn't muster any resentment whatsoever.

"Third place!" Li Jiusheng invited his opponent to the stage.

"I refuse to believe it. No matter how terrifying your swordsmanship is, within the Great Grandmaster Realm, it's all about domains. I've been studying physical domains for two hundred years, almost pushing this path to its limit. With a domain spanning five hundred miles, I'm sure I can exchange a few blows with you." The third opponent arrived. He was a rugged old man with black hair on his cheeks and neck, and he was enormous, standing three meters tall.

Clearly, he is an alien being who has taken human form, but his wild nature has not been lost, and he still retains many aspects of his original form.

Boom!

As soon as this person stepped onto the stage, he waved his hand, and a dense demonic aura surged between his palms, transforming into a brilliant domain. Within that domain, Stampede of Ten Thousand Beasts, and a savage, wild aura swept over, making it extremely terrifying.

"Cut!"

Li Jiusheng didn't say much. He raised his hand and pointed his fingers to form a sword. Then, he directly unleashed a dazzling sword light that sliced through his opponent's brilliant domain, causing the Stampede of Ten Thousand Beasts to an abrupt halt. The savage energy was also severed by him, as if he had separated a great river and made the mountains and rivers give way.

The sword struck directly at the opponent's brow, then touched it lightly.

Laugh!

The alien creature's brow split open instantly, and the sword light emanating from Li Jiusheng's fingertips pierced through its skin, passed through its brow bone, and aimed directly at its primordial spirit, but without harming it in the slightest.

The alien creature instantly broke out in a cold sweat, every pore standing on end. The threat of death loomed over its mind. It snapped out of its rage in an instant, its whole body trembling, and slowly retreated, moving away from Li Jiusheng's fingertips.

"Such powerful Sword energy, such terrifying strength! My domain, which I've cultivated for over two hundred years, was instantly severed. This sword is aimed directly at my brow. I concede defeat." The alien creature gasped, admitting defeat on the spot. Without looking back, it jumped off the arena, only then feeling the threat of death disappear. It was as if it had returned from hell to the human world.

This scene left those near the Great Grandmaster Arena utterly astonished.

This also earned the praise of those Venerables who had come with Li Jiusheng.

Some Sword Cultivator regarded Li Jiusheng as their patriarch, becoming extremely infatuated with him.

"Watching this person draw his sword is like admiring a work of art; it is captivating."

"Yes, before meeting this person, I never imagined that anyone could have mastered swordsmanship to such a level. I even felt that his swordsmanship had transcended its original essence; this is art, the art of Sword Dao."

Some young Sword Cultivator practically idolized Li Jiusheng.

Even if some people disliked him, Li Jiusheng's outstanding achievements left them speechless.

"Who else?" Li Jiusheng asked, looking around calmly, unmoved by anything else.

Among the crowd, an old man in black robes lightly touched the ground with his toes and floated over, landing on the Great Grandmaster Arena.

"I am a rogue cultivator who reached the Ancestor Realm at over five hundred years old. My potential has been exhausted, and I can no longer gain any advantage over there, so I have come here," the black-robed elder said solemnly.

Although he was the founder, he could only unleash the Great Grandmaster Peak of cultivation on the Great Grandmaster Arena.

This patriarch's journey was fraught with stumbles and falls.

Moreover, as a rogue cultivator, he lacked the arrogance of True Master Zhang of Dragon Tiger Mountain, and coupled with Li Jiusheng's formidable strength, he had no choice but to take him seriously.

He asked himself, back when he was at the Great Grandmaster Realm, he wasn't nearly as outstanding as Li Jiusheng is now.

But he also has advantages.

The Ancestor Realm's control over energy is far superior to that of a venerable. Within the Great Grandmaster Realm, one can unleash their full power, reaching twelve or even thirteen percent of their strength.

He felt he could fight Li Jiusheng.

Facing the patriarch, Li Jiusheng felt no worry whatsoever.

Within the Great Grandmaster Realm, he feared no one.

This is absolute confidence.

"Please!" Li Jiusheng uttered only this one word, and then his sword flew into the air.

Sword Intent Four Symbols Art!

The sword was imbued with the Four Symbols Sacred Beasts, making it exceptionally dazzling.

The old man in black robes valued this battle highly. He knew he couldn't be careless, so he mobilized all his power in an instant. At the Great Grandmaster Peak, he unleashed a terrifying strength no weaker than that of a Venerable. The energy on his body boiled, like a volcanic eruption, roaring as he gathered black light in his hands, which transformed into deadly claws, like energy particles, and rushed towards Li Jiusheng's chest.

The Four Symbols Sacred Beasts twisted their sword intent, directly slicing through the deadly claws, and charged forward, carving a path through the black energy particle river. The sword light arrived accurately in front of the black-robed elder.

Bang!

The Sword Intent Four Symbols Art sliced through the black-robed elder's body, and its terrifying and invincible power blasted him off the Great Grandmaster Arena.

Like True Master Zhang of Dragon Tiger Mountain, even the patriarch was no match for Li Jiusheng on the Great Grandmaster Arena.
