Prodigies' Arena: No Cheats? Don't Even Bother Coming
Yun Zexuan roared, and Zhao Lingyun's sleeves fluttered, sending out hundreds of talismans like a swarm of locusts, which transformed into Soldier Puppet in mid-air.
However, the talisman's brilliance has not yet fully blossomed.
Bass!
The Ten Directions Profound Sword had already appeared in Qin Wangchuan.
He casually grasped it and slashed forward with the sword.
Hundreds of talismans, imbued with immense energy, were shattered into countless fragments by the terrifying Sword Intent before they even hit the ground, and then fluttered down.
The Sword Light dissipated, revealing Yun Zexuan behind Fu Yu, who was about to rush towards Ye Lingchuan.
Immortal Coffin!
Having exhausted all means, only the Immortal Coffin can turn the tide of battle now!
Qin Wangchuan's Golden Eyes flashed with future light and shadow, instantly discerning the other party's true intentions.
Without hesitation, he raised his finger, Tribulation Light erupted, but the target was not where Yun Zexuan was, but an open space not far away!
"Pfft--!"
Where there had been nothing before, crimson blood suddenly spurted out of thin air.
Yun Zexuan, who had used the "Boundary Defining Existence" technique to conceal his presence, was precisely pierced by this finger that had foreseen his future. He staggered out of the room, but his face showed a triumphant smile.
Bait?
The real attack was...
His gaze shifted to Zhao Lingyun, who held a talisman in front of him, which began to emit light.
Although Zhao Lingyun's talisman was powerful, there was no need for him to use himself as bait.
Therefore, there is only one answer--
Zhao Lingyun was also bait!
The real trump card is...
As his thoughts raced, Qin Wangchuan caught a glimpse of Zhou Yunyi, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly rushing toward the unconscious Ye Lingchuan with incredible speed, as if burning his life force!
It really is Immortal Coffin.
The Golden Light Talisman had already struck his face, but it was useless!
Qin Wangchuan raised his left hand, and a twisted "Slaughtering Dao Heavenly Scar" appeared out of thin air, devouring all the talisman light; with his right hand holding a sword, an invisible and intangible "Dao Slash" Sword Qi, powerful enough to sever the foundation of one's Dao, broke through the air and went straight for Zhou Yunyi!
Zhou Yunyi's fingertips had already touched Ye Lingchuan's body, wanting to pick him up, but in that instant, the Dao-Slaying Sword had already arrived before he could!
"Pfft!"
Blood splattered as Zhou Yunyi's two arms snapped off. He lost his balance amidst screams and crashed heavily to the ground.
After doing all this, Qin Wangchuan turned to look at Zhao Lingyun.
Zhao Lingyun decisively raised his hand, his face pale. "My Spiritual Power is exhausted, I concede."
Zhou Yunyi collapsed to the ground, barely breathing.
Therefore, the final variable is Ye Lingchuan.
"Just admit defeat, you can't win."
Qin Wangchuan walked up to Ye Lingchuan and tried to persuade him, but suddenly realized something was wrong— Ye Lingchuan, lying on the ground, had already fainted and was bleeding from all seven orifices.
The faint aura he sensed actually came from a talisman affixed to Ye Lingchuan's chest.
Since Ye Lingchuan had already fainted, then why...?
Wait... where's the Immortal Coffin?
Her gaze suddenly shifted to Zhou Yunyi, who had fallen into the distance, and she was shocked to see that while she was checking on Ye Lingchuan, he had scrambled and rolled onto the Immortal Coffin that had sunk into the ruins.
Was that just a feint?
Despite the excruciating pain, Zhou Yunyi forced a smile, panting, "Cough... it wasn't my idea, so please don't hold a grudge!"
Before he finished speaking, he bit down on the ancient talisman on the Immortal Coffin with his teeth and ripped it off!
"Sizzle--"
The talisman fell to the ground with a sound, turning into specks of golden light in the air.
Having learned from the previous lesson, the Immortal Coffin was actually in a semi-unsealed state from the beginning, only suppressed by Lingyun Talisman.
Almost the instant the talisman left the coffin, the Immortal Coffin trembled violently, and a dense aura of death spread out as if it were a tangible substance.
A skeleton, as clear as jade yet exuding an overwhelming aura of death, slowly sat up from the coffin.
The Pseudo-Immortal Body is one of the Ye Clan's most treasured possessions.
Its refining method is extremely domineering. It requires collecting the Remnant Dao Yuan Corpse, known as "Dao Fragments," and arranging them into a human shape before placing them into the Nine-Bend Soul Burying Coffin.
After being nourished for a long time by cultivators or by rare and precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures, it will eventually be reshaped into a complete human skeleton.
Eventually, they can even grow flesh and blood and become a true "person".
This is the Great Dao that walks the path, the pseudo-immortal.
Although it has only been a century since the last opening, and the nourishment is far from complete, its ferocity is not something that a mere cultivator at the tenth or so realm can withstand.
The moment the Remnant Dao Yuan Corpse was born, it killed Zhou Yunyi, who was closest to it, with a single palm strike.
Immediately, the head, radiating an overwhelming aura of death, slowly turned, its empty eye sockets precisely locking onto the most powerful being in the arena— Qin Wangchuan.
The soul-chilling sensation it brought spread like ice spikes; it was an absolute suppression on a life level, an instinctive warning that mortals could not glimpse the divine.
Just by looking into his eyes, his soul felt a chilling tremor, as if warning him that he was peering into the very source of all things.
Without a doubt, he will die!
However, Qin Wangchuan chuckled softly as he felt this instinctive fear.
"Ha... this is... cheating..."
Far from being nervous, the fierce aura that had been building up around him completely relaxed, a kind of relaxation that comes from seeing an expected opponent.
"How coincidental, though."
The moment the words left his mouth, the space behind Qin Wangchuan's head rippled silently.
A Dark Gold Wheel with an incredibly intricate and complex structure slowly emerged and began to rotate.
As the golden wheel spun, it expanded rapidly, instantly transforming into a massive, dark golden wheel ten feet wide, suspended high in the air. The shadow it cast seemed capable of swallowing even the light of day, radiating a chilling pressure!
Countless intricate runes, shining like stars, embody the profound truths of the rise and fall of all things and the Karma Reincarnation.
"I can use cheat codes," Qin Wangchuan declared calmly, his voice blending seamlessly with the rhythm of Wheel of Fate, "And I can too."
The moment the words fell, an elegant curve, winding like the dividing line of a tai chi symbol, quietly appeared in the center of the enormous, dark gold wheel that Covering the Sky and Sun!
The curve divides the roulette wheel in two, with a clear boundary yet the two parts intertwined.
Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, two figures stepped out side by side from the rift of fate.
The man on the left was dressed in snow-white robes, his clothes fluttering even without wind, his aura as cold and aloof as Myriad Ages abyss. His silver eyes showed no emotion, only an all-knowing indifference.
The man on the right was draped in a dazzling golden robe, embroidered with an ancient totem of the sun and moon shining together. His expression was majestic, as if he were a born ruler. His gaze was so heavy that it slightly distorted the surrounding space.
The two stood suspended in mid-air, one on the left and one on the right, silently hovering on either side of the Qin Wangchuan.
Between heaven and earth, it seemed that only the slowly turning Wheel of Fate, which divided Yin Yang, and the three similar figures in front of it remained.
"I am Sword Dao," the man in white said after glancing at the young Qin Wangchuan and the man in gold robes.
"I am Spirit Law Dao," the golden-robed man replied, gazing at the Remnant Dao Yuan Corpse.
The two did not communicate with the still immature "now," nor did they need to know the current situation.
Because they are both the answer to the future and the predetermined cause and effect.
"It's been a long time. Have you found the person you're looking for?" Qin Wangchuan, the Sword Dao, asked.
"Soon," Qin Wangchuan, the Spirit Law Dao, replied, then continued, "Since we've encountered it, let's use that."
That?
Not to mention others, even Qin Wangchuan didn't know what the two versions of himself were talking about.
However, he understood the next moment.
The two men simultaneously raised their hands, as if holding a celestial seal, and pressed down on the Remnant Dao Yuan Corpse!
"Ten Directions Profound Sword"
"Heavenly Sword? Final Tribulation"
Two Giant Sword, one illusory and one real, piercing the heavens and earth, materialized instantly, carrying supreme Sword Intent that were completely different yet shared the same origin, and crashed downwards in a cross shape!
The two swords clashed, Remnant Dao Yuan Corpse were instantly annihilated.
The sword's momentum didn't stop; it crashed into the earth with a deafening roar.
The ground began to tilt.
Countless underground formations shattered in response, causing the entire Cloud Mist Heavenly City to tremble violently and then begin to collapse.
Amidst countless horrified gazes, this Cloud Mist Heavenly City, which had stood suspended for millennia, was cleaved down by a single sword strike! It plummeted to the earth with a deafening roar that tore through the heavens!
