The Seven Sects Take Their Places, Towering Over the Age (Middle) (4K)
The epic duel between Yu Boxuan and Tang Gan set a spectacular tone for the Seven Sects Selection Conference. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan took the lead, showcasing astonishing strength and unfathomable depth, stirring the hearts of all spectators and making them even more eager for the upcoming matches.
The Cardinal stepped onto the stage again, his voice echoing throughout the arena. "The first match is won by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! Next, we will proceed with the second match: the Clear Sky Sect versus the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a murmur of discussion arose from the crowd. The Clear Sky Sect had just endured a fierce battle. Although Sect Master Tang Gan was not seriously injured, his soul power was greatly depleted, and he needed time to recover. While the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect did not have a top-tier offensive Douluo, its Sect Master Ning Zhiyuan wielded the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and was accompanied by the extremely powerful Sword Douluo Qingfeng. When the two joined forces, their power was far more than just one plus one equals two.
Just as everyone was speculating which Elder the Clear Sky Sect would send to fight, or whether Tang Gan would reluctantly fight again, a burly figure strode onto the arena, his voice booming:
"Clear Sky Sect, Tang Chen, requests permission to fight!"
It was Tang Chen! Holding the dark Clear Sky Hammer, his fighting spirit was high, and his eyes were fixed on the direction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, finally settling on Azure Peak Douluo and Ning Zhiyuan.
"I have long heard of the unparalleled auxiliary techniques of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Senior Qingfeng's swordsmanship is divine. I Tang Chen, am unworthy, but I would like to experience the skills of both of you simultaneously! Please, both of you, come forward!"
This statement caused an uproar throughout the room!
Tang Chen actually intends to fight the Sect Master and Chief Elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect alone! And this is a combination of Support System Soul Sage and a peak Power Attack System Peak Douluo! This is more than just confidence, it's downright arrogance!
"Arrogant!" A young disciple in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect camp couldn't help but shout. Ning Zhiyuan frowned slightly and looked at Azure Peak Douluo. A trace of displeasure also flashed across Azure Peak Douluo's usually calm face, but more than that, there was a cold feeling of being looked down upon.
"Young friend Tang, are you sure you want to do this?" Azure Peak Douluo slowly stood up, his voice like a drawn sword, carrying a chilling aura. As a level 95 Peak Douluo, he naturally possessed his own arrogance.
Tang Chen grinned, revealing his snow-white teeth, exuding an arrogant and domineering aura. "Senior Qingfeng, whether you're arrogant or not, we'll only know after we fight! Or are you afraid of a junior like me?"
"Hmph!" Azure Peak Douluo said no more. With a flicker of his figure, he appeared on the arena like a streak of azure sword light, facing Tang Chen from afar. Seeing Ning Zhiyuan, Ning Zhiyuan shook his head helplessly, gave a few instructions to his clansmen beside him, and slowly stepped onto the stage, holding the dazzling Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Although his Soul Power was only Level 79, the auxiliary ability of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was enough to make him a pivotal figure on the battlefield.
The three stood in a triangular formation, and the atmosphere instantly became tense!
"The match begins!" the Cardinal shouted, quickly stepping back.
Almost the instant the sound fell, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in Ning Zhiyuan's hand shone brightly!
"Seven Treasures Manifestation!" Ning Zhiyuan shouted, and the pagoda spun, instantly shooting out two beams of colorful light that enveloped Azure Peak Douluo.
"Firstly: Strength!"
The second rule: Speed!
"Thirdly: The Soul!"
Fourthly: Defense!
Fifthly: Attack!
In an instant, five amplifying halos appeared! Azure Peak Douluo's aura surged dramatically! His already incomparably sharp Sword Intent soared into the sky, as if it would pierce through the heavens! With the blessing of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, his Soul Power fluctuations were already infinitely close to level ninety-six! Speed, strength, attack, and defense were all enhanced!
"What powerful support!" A chorus of exclamations erupted from the spectator stands. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda truly lived up to its name!
The amplified Azure Peak Douluo did not hesitate at all, pointing his fingers like a sword and pointing in mid-air!
"Seventh Soul Skill, Azure Peak True Body!"
With a whoosh, a massive, ten-zhang-long, solidified azure sword appeared out of thin air. Its blade shone with a cold light, and its sword energy cut through the surrounding air with a hissing sound! The tip of the sword pointed directly at Tang Chen!
"Savage Sword Sweep!"
Azure Peak True Body trembled slightly, and countless condensed azure sword energies poured down like a torrential rain, covering the entire arena and sealing off all of Tang Chen's escape space! Before the sword energies even arrived, the sharp Sword Intent already made one's skin sting!
Faced with this overwhelming attack, Tang Chen showed no fear, but instead his eyes blazed with an even more intense fighting spirit!
"Well done! Clear Sky True Body!"
He roared, his body swelled, transforming into a giant, and the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand instantly became as huge as a small mountain! Facing the sky full of sword energy, he neither dodged nor avoided, wielding the Clear Sky Hammer with impenetrable force!
"The Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, the Entwine Character Art!"
The massive Clear Sky Hammer seemed weightless in his hands, transforming into black whirlwinds that either drew in, shredded, or dispersed the incoming sword energy! His hammer techniques were fluid and effortless, leaving no openings! It was a case of overcoming skill with clumsiness and subduing technique with brute force!
"Clang clang clang clang...!"
A dense barrage of collisions erupted as sword energy and hammer wind clashed violently, exploding into countless energy points. Although Tang Chen was on the defensive, he did not retreat an inch! The tightness of his defense and the sheer power of his strength were astonishing!
"Hmm?" A hint of surprise flashed in Azure Peak Douluo's eyes. Tang Chen's defense was so tough? He changed his sword stance, Azure Peak True Body suddenly shrank, condensing into a length of three zhang, and his speed increased dramatically!
"Man-Sword Unity, Azure Shadow Pierces Void!"
Whoosh! Azure Peak Douluo merged with his sword, transforming into a streak of azure light too fast for the naked eye to see. With incredible speed, he bypassed the Clear Sky Hammer's defensive circle and stabbed straight at Tang Chen's ribs! This sword strike was fast, accurate, and ruthless! It pushed speed and attack power to the extreme!
However, Tang Chen seemed to have anticipated this. The huge Clear Sky Hammer, which looked clumsy, retreated at an odd angle, and the handle struck the side of the blue light with perfect precision!
"The Shock Character Art, counter-Zhen!"
Clang! A crisp sound rang out! The azure light abruptly stopped, revealing the figure of Azure Peak Douluo. He groaned, feeling an immense force surge through the sword, his entire arm going numb, and his body involuntarily drifting backward! Tang Chen 'Timing Control and Power Usage were exquisite!
"Offense and defense switch! Break Character Art, Heaven-Splitting!"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tang Chen's momentum surged, shifting from defense to offense! The massive Clear Sky Hammer, carrying an unstoppable and destructive aura, slammed down towards the unsteady Azure Peak Douluo! The power was concentrated at a single point, compressing the air and creating a booming sound!
Ning Zhiyuan's expression changed slightly, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda shone brightly once more. "Sixth: Increase!" The Sixth Soul Ring lit up, and an even more intense colorful light flowed into Azure Peak Douluo's body, causing his attack power to soar once again!
Azure Peak Douluo's eyes sharpened, and he stopped his retreat. The tip of Azure Peak True Body, emitting a sword light about a foot long, met the Clear Sky Hammer head-on without flinching!
"Azure Peak Single Ray of Sky!"
Sword tip against hammer head! Needle tip against wheat awn!
Boom--!!!
An even more violent explosion erupted! A turquoise and azure light intertwined and eroded each other wildly, a terrifying energy storm sweeping across the entire arena! The defensive shield fluctuated violently, as if it might shatter at any moment!
As the light faded, the two separated once more. Azure Peak Douluo's sword-wielding arm trembled slightly, his face paling. Tang Chen's aura surged, but his fighting spirit soared even higher! With Ning Zhiyuan's full support, Azure Peak Douluo's attack power was indeed terrifying, but what did Tang Chen have to fear?!
"Haha! That was exhilarating! Let's go again!" Tang Chen laughed wildly, pressing his advantage relentlessly, and unleashed the Clear Sky Hammer once more, "Stop Character Art, Meteor Fall!"
His figure blurred instantly, appearing above and to the side of Azure Peak Douluo as if by Instantaneous Movement. The Clear Sky Hammer fell like a meteorite, a perfect combination of speed and power!
Azure Peak Douluo hurriedly used his movement technique to dodge, his sword light like a curtain, fighting and retreating. Ning Zhiyuan constantly changed his position, always maintaining the best support distance from Azure Peak Douluo, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda shining continuously, sometimes accelerating, sometimes amplifying defense.
In an instant, hammers flew, swords flashed, and colorful lights swirled on the arena, the battle was incredibly fierce. Tang Chen fought against two opponents, yet he was not at a disadvantage at all. On the contrary, he became more and more courageous, displaying the fierce and domineering power of the Clear Sky Hammer to the fullest! His Soul Power seemed inexhaustible, and his attacks were more and more intense!
"This Tang Chen... he's incredibly fierce!"
"The Clear Sky Hammer truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier offensive Weapon Soul!"
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's support is too monstrous! Azure Peak Douluo's combat power has increased by more than one level!"
"But Tang Chen was actually able to withstand it! How could his Soul Power be so abundant?"
The stands were filled with gasps and murmurs of excitement. Everyone was captivated by this thrilling match.
In the VIP section, Yu Yuanchen nodded slightly. Tang Chen's performance was within his expectations. After condensing his Soul Core, his endurance had greatly increased. Coupled with the explosive power of the Great Sumeru Hammer and the exquisite nature of the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, it was not impossible for him to fight the combination of Qingfeng and Ning Zhiyuan alone. More importantly, Tang Chen's fighting style was to charge forward relentlessly, using offense as defense. This kind of momentum could often suppress opponents with advanced skills.
The fierce battle lasted for nearly the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, with the two sides exchanging more than three hundred blows! With Ning Zhiyuan's assistance, Azure Peak Douluo's attacks were incredibly fierce, but Tang Chen's defense was as solid as a rock, and his counterattacks were even more Thunderous Might! Unable to break through after a long siege, Azure Peak Douluo's Soul Power was greatly depleted, and even with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda replenishing it, he gradually began to feel the strain. Tang Chen, on the other hand, remained full of energy!
"We can't delay any longer!" A resolute glint flashed in Azure Peak Douluo's eyes as he exchanged a glance with Ning Zhiyuan. Ning Zhiyuan understood, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda shone brightly, maximizing all its amplification effects!
Azure Peak Douluo took a deep breath, and his aura of Man-Sword Unity as one reached its peak!
"Ninth Soul Skill, Myriad Swords Return to One - Qingfeng Slays Gods!"
In an instant, the entire arena seemed to transform into a world of swords! Countless condensed azure sword shadows appeared out of thin air, each containing a terrifying Sword Intent capable of tearing everything apart! Ten thousand swords rang out in unison, locking onto Tang Chen in the center of the arena! This was the ultimate strike of the Azure Peak Douluo!
Faced with this devastating attack, Tang Chen's eyes also revealed an extremely solemn expression. He took a deep breath, and his Soul Power erupted like a volcano!
"Clear Sky Body Protection!" First, a thick black light shield enveloped the entire body.
Then, he did something that left everyone speechless!
"Great Sumeru Hammer! Explode! Explode! Explode! Explode!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
His first, second, third, and fourth Soul Ring exploded one after another! An unimaginable surge of Soul Power rushed into the Clear Sky Hammer! The hammer instantly expanded, emitting a Destruction wave that made one's heart tremble! Although it was not as powerful as when all eight rings exploded at the same time during his battle with Yu Yuanchen, the power of these four rings exploding at the same time was still enough to shake the heavens and the earth!
"The Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, the Collapse Character Art! One Hammer Decides Fate!"
Tang Chen gripped the hammer with both hands, merging his entire body's strength with the terrifying Soul Power generated by the Explode Ring, and slammed the hammer down towards the torrent of ten thousand swords! There were no fancy techniques, only ultimate power and Destruction!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A deafening roar, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing, shook the entire Spirit City! The defensive light barrier on the arena groaned under the strain and finally shattered! A terrifying energy storm swept out, barely held back by the barrier jointly erected by several Spirit Hall Elder on the high platform!
Everyone's hearts were in their throats!
As the energy storm subsided, everyone hurriedly looked over. The arena was a mess, with a huge crater in the center. At the edge of the crater, Azure Peak Douluo knelt on one knee, supporting himself with his sword, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his aura weak, and Azure Peak True Body had already dissipated. Ning Zhiyuan stood not far behind him, his face pale, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda dim, clearly indicating that his Soul Power had been excessively depleted.
At the other end of the pit, Tang Chen stood upright, leaning on his Clear Sky Hammer. Although his clothes were torn and he was panting heavily, his eyes remained sharp and his fighting spirit had not diminished!
The difference in skill is obvious! Tang Chen wins!
After a moment of silence, a deafening cheer erupted! Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Sect had actually fought and defeated two powerful figures from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect single-handedly! His strength was truly awe-inspiring!
"You flatter me!" Tang Chen clasped his hands in a fist salute, his voice hoarse but carrying the pride of a victor.
Azure Peak Douluo struggled to his feet, glanced at Tang Chen with a complicated expression, and sighed, "The younger generation is truly formidable... I admire you!" Ning Zhiyuan also shook his head with a wry smile.
The Cardinal stepped onto the stage and announced, "In the second match, Tang Clear Sky Sect Tang Chen!"
The Clear Sky Sect region Lei Dong, sweeping away the gloom of the Sect Master's defeat. Tang Chen had once again proven the Clear Sky Sect's strength with his own power!
The next match continued.
In the third match, Wind Sword Sect, the Sect Master the Feng Zaiyun, faced off against Dai Jingxuan, the Sect Master of the White Tiger Sect.
Feng Zaiyun's swordsmanship was fierce and incredibly fast; he transformed into a beam of sword light, his attacks like a sudden storm. Dai Jingxuan, on the other hand, relied on the powerful defense and explosive force of his White Tiger Martial Soul, using brute force to overcome skill, his Tiger Roar Shakes Heavens. The two fought fiercely, one fast and the other fierce, their battle evenly matched. In the end, Feng Zaiyun, with his superior speed and exquisite control of Sword Intent, seized a slight opening in Dai Jingxuan's defenses, striking the weakest point of his White Tiger Body Protection Barrier with his sword, gaining a slight advantage.
In the fourth match, Shi Feng, the sect leader of the Xuanwu Sect, will face off against the sect leader of the Huobao Sect.
The battle was a foregone conclusion. The Fire Leopard Sect Master's attacks were ferocious and swift, but against Shi Feng's almost superhuman defense, all his attacks were like mud oxen sinking into the sea. Shi Feng didn't even launch an attack; he simply activated his Martial Soul Avatar —a gigantic Black Tortoise Shell Shield —and easily blocked all of the opponent's attacks. In the end, the Fire Leopard Sect Master was exhausted and conceded defeat. The Black Tortoise Sect's defense was truly impressive.
After the four matches concluded, the atmosphere at the scene grew increasingly heated. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Clear Sky Sect each won one match, demonstrating their absolute strength in the competition for the Upper Three Sects. Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was defeated, its powerful support capabilities were not to be underestimated. The Wind Sword Sect and the Black Tortoise Sect also demonstrated their strength to challenge the Lower Four Sects.
The Seven Sects Selection has entered its most intense phase! The true showdown is just around the corner!
