The Final Two
Meanwhile, on the arena...
The Star Giant Sword that Lu Tian activated clashed with the massive pillar of light that Yue Qing unleashed.
At the point of impact, violent energy fluctuations emerged, each rapidly dissipating backward in an umbrella-like pattern.
Below the arena, numerous disciples of Mount Shu were astonished and exclaimed in amazement.
"This?"
"How... how scary!"
"Such a collision, even those at the Tribulation Bandit Cultivator would probably not be able to withstand it, right?"
"Lu Tian is only at the Early Tribulation Transcendence, yet he was able to unleash such terrifying sword Divine Ability twice in a row."
"Yue Qing is no weakling either!"
"Previously, Yu Mingzi, the Peak Scion of Jade Void Peak, was defeated by Lu Tian's sword."
"Can Senior Brother Yue Qing withstand it?"
"..."
The numerous disciples of Mount Shu were amazed and their faces were filled with shock.
Upon witnessing this scene, Chen Changqing's expression darkened slightly.
Earlier, he had noticed that Lu Tian was extremely exhausted, but he was still fighting hard against Yue Qing.
Now, sparing no expense, he once again unleashes the ultimate move of the Seven Star Sword Canon, Seven Stars Illuminate the World.
"After this move, my junior uncle should be too weak to fight anymore!"
Chen Changqing sighed inwardly.
He knew in his heart that Lu Tian was doing this simply to wear Yue Qing down so that he could have an easier time when he went on stage to fight Yue Qing.
At the same time, the Ancestor Wuzhen was suspended in the void, saw this and a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes. He sighed inwardly:
"That kid Lu Tian, he really has gone to great lengths!"
Just as everyone from Mount Shu was in shock...
On the arena, a crisp sound suddenly rang out from where the Star Giant Sword clashed with the enormous pillar of light.
"Snap!"
Then it was seen that the Heaven-Propping Giant Pillar that Yue Qing had summoned suddenly cracked under the piercing of the Star Giant Sword.
Immediately afterwards, the cracks grew larger and larger, and before long, the entire giant pillar shattered.
"Boom!"
"Call out..."
Then, the Star Giant Sword, its power undiminished, slashed straight down at Yue Qing's head.
Upon witnessing this scene, all the disciples of Mount Shu below the stage felt a tremor in their hearts.
Unexpectedly, the Heaven-Propping Giant Pillar that Yue Qing summoned was shattered by Lu Tian's Star Giant Sword!
At the same time, a flash of horror crossed Yue Qing's eyes upon seeing this.
The next moment, that horror was replaced by a frenzied fighting spirit.
"Good timing!"
"Boom!"
In an instant, an even more violent aura erupted from Yue Qing's body.
Then, instead of retreating, Yue Qing advanced, his giant hands suddenly grabbing out and seizing the falling Star Giant Sword.
"Thirty-Six Mountain Suppressing Styles!"
"Mountain Longevity!"
With a roar from Yue Qing, dazzling light burst forth from his enormous hands.
"Smash it!"
Yue Qing roared to the sky, and suddenly slammed his hands together, which were gripping the Star Giant Sword!
"Bang!"
Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar resounded.
Then, the Star Giant Sword shattered under Yue Qing's hand, turning into countless stars and dissipating.
Under the violent tremor, Yue Qing's enormous body collapsed and returned to its original size, leaving him kneeling on one knee.
On the other side, as the Star Giant Sword shattered, Lu Tian was sent flying backward by the recoil, crashing heavily onto the arena.
Seeing this scene, all the Mount Shu disciples watching from below the stage were deeply shocked.
"This?"
"Could it be... a lose-lose situation?"
"Senior Brother Yue Qing is so fierce!"
"..."
Just as the Mount Shu disciples were in shock, Yue Qing, who had been kneeling on one knee, slowly stood up and wiped away a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth.
In contrast, Lu Tian lay limp on the ground, trying desperately to get up, but due to his injuries and exhaustion, he was unable to stand.
After a brief silence, Yue Qing turned his gaze and looked directly at Lu Tian, saying calmly:
"Junior Brother Lu Tian..."
"Your sword... is very strong."
"But unfortunately, in the end, the one standing is... me!"
Yue Qing spoke in a hoarse voice, weak but clear.
Upon hearing this, Lu Tian's eyes were filled with resentment.
He had used the ultimate move of the Seven Star Sword Canon, Seven Stars Illuminate the World, once when he fought Yu Mingzi.
Now, when it is used again, it has already burned out completely.
After a slight pause, Lu Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly and murmured softly:
"I... I lost."
Upon hearing their conversation, the audience erupted in a deafening roar of gasps.
"Senior Brother Yue Qing has won!"
"Mountain Suppressing Peak is invincible."
"This is a true showdown of the best!"
"Brother Yue Qing is awesome!"
"Lu Tian's ability to fight Yue Qing to this extent with only the cultivation of the Early Tribulation Transcendence is something to be proud of!"
"Yes! The key point is that he previously defeated Yu Mingzi, the Peak Scion of Jade Void Peak, who was at the Mid Tribulation Transcendence realm."
"..."
Immediately, many disciples of Mount Shu were discussing it.
The disciples of Mountain Suppressing Peak cheered continuously for Yue Qing's victory.
The disciples from the other peaks were amazed by Yue Qing's strength, while others felt awe and admiration for Lu Tian.
Chen Yuan glanced slightly, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes, and said softly:
"That kid Lu Tian certainly has guts."
"With his current cultivation level, being able to unleash the ultimate form of the Seven Star Sword Canon even once would be his limit."
"He actually used it twice."
"Although Yue Qing won, he was also injured and greatly exhausted."
"This situation is naturally advantageous to my young disciple!"
As he spoke, Chen Yuan turned his gaze and looked at Chen Changqing.
Upon hearing what Chen Yuan said, Mo Tianji, who was standing to the side, smiled faintly and continued:
"Sect Master."
"Changqing was able to survive the Twelve-Colored Heavenly Tribulation and enter the Tribulation Transcendence, so his strength is beyond question."
"With Lu Tian creating such a favorable situation for him, the title of Champion in the Seven Peaks Grand Competition might just be his!"
Chen Yuan nodded and smiled, without saying much. Then, with a casual wave of his hand, a streak of light rushed straight towards Lu Tian, who was slumped on the arena.
In no time, the stream of light entered Lu Tian's body.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Tian felt his injuries and energy depletion rapidly recovering.
"Senior brother..."
He muttered something in surprise, then turned his gaze and looked straight at Chen Yuan.
Upon catching Lu Tian's gaze, Chen Yuan merely smiled faintly and said nothing.
After recovering for a while, Lu Tian didn't stay on the stage for long. He stood up, leaped off the stage, and came to Chen Changqing's side.
"Junior nephew."
"In this Seven Peaks Grand Competition, only you and Yue Qing of Mountain Suppressing Peak remain."
"Although we didn't get to fight in the ring, I still hope you can win the championship."
As he spoke, Lu Tian reached out and patted Chen Changqing lightly on the shoulder.
Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing remained calm and replied:
"Junior Uncle Lu Tian, you... you really didn't have to do this."
Upon hearing this, Lu Tian paused for a moment, then feigned confusion and replied, "What did you say? I don't understand!"
