What the onlookers considered perfectly normal sounded like a trigger for some unpleasant memories to the eight elders.
The faces of the eight elders twitched, but fortunately, their strength was at a level where they could no longer show their emotions, so no one noticed anything amiss with them.
The Elder in green robes was not deaf; he overheard the entire conversation of the cultivators. Upon hearing this, he simply smiled and said nothing more.
Before the Elder in green could say anything, one of the six Immortal Emperor spoke up impatiently.
"Enough with the nonsense, let's get started! I, Shi Buyang, am determined to Dao-Attained Cultivator!"
After saying that, the cultivator who called himself " Shi Buyang " turned around and looked at Jing Chen, Murong Liu and Feng Shenlang provocatively.
Clearly, in Shi Buyang's view, the three current Dao-Attained Cultivator were all inferior to him, so it was a foregone conclusion that he would become Dao-Attained Cultivator himself.
The fact that the Elder in green had been so polite earlier had only made him more arrogant.
"It was only three moves. When it comes to defense, I, Shi Buyang, have never been convinced by anyone!" Shi Buyang then added.
After speaking, Shi Buyang stepped forward, looking solemn and full of confidence.
The person who appeared before the group of cultivators was a middle-aged man in his thirties with a muscular build, who looked like a cultivator specializing in defensive spells.
Some of the cultivators watching had some understanding of Shi Buyang.
He is the most famous and outstanding figure in the Red Sun Immortal World. It is said that he is not a mortal, but was formed directly from a piece of enlightened rock, and is known for his unparalleled defense.
Therefore, no cultivator wanted to refute Shi Buyang's words.
After all, according to the current rules, in terms of defensive strength alone, Shi Buyang is indeed the strongest among the six, with a considerable advantage!
In fact, apart from Chen Honghu and the little boy nicknamed "Foodie," the other four Immortal Emperor Realm experts are quite famous, each with their own strengths, and are well-known to many people.
In general, to the cultivators watching, the only unfamiliar faces were Chen Honghu and the little boy.
"Then you shall start!" The Elder in green robes saw Shi Buyang's arrogance but said nothing more. He simply smiled and pointed lightly at the Half-Step Eternal Realm phantom beside him.
"Buzz..."
The cyan phantom seemed to be activated and began to move.
However, the phantom merely raised a finger, and then gently pointed at Shi Buyang.
Nothing unusual happened; only three faint ripples slowly spread outwards from the center of the illusory palm.
The cultivators watched in disbelief, finding it incredibly profound. They felt the ripples moved at speeds that were both fast and slow, defying description in ordinary language.
Only Shi Buyang, the person involved, truly understands this feeling.
What appeared to be a ripple clearly visible to others was, in Shi Buyang's eyes, a frantic, rapid approach towards him.
For a moment, Shi Buyang seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move. A primal instinct beyond life was frantically reminding him that these three seemingly harmless ripples were extremely dangerous!
And it's not just dangerous, it's extremely dangerous!
Shi Buyang bit his tongue, forcing himself to clear his mind. Then, without any hesitation, he flashed and transformed into a stone.
The stone looked ordinary, even a bit dusty, but a mysterious force permeated the surrounding area, causing the void to sink slightly.
Needless to say, this is Shi Buyang's true form, and also his strongest defensive state.
His strongest defensive stance had actually withstood an attack from the Half-Step Eternal Realm expert, and it was that one time that made Shi Buyang famous throughout the Three Thousand Immortal Worlds.
However, the moment Shi Buyang turned into stone, the first of the three ripples also approached him.
Almost simultaneously, the first ripple landed on Shi Buyang, and with a "crack," Shi Buyang outermost defense was broken in an instant.
"Buzz..."
With just a ripple, the illusory figure had already shattered the Great Dao form surrounding Shi Buyang.
The second ripple arrived in an instant, this time landing on Shi Buyang and causing a series of cracking sounds.
"Click... click... click..."
A crisp cracking sound echoed throughout the void.
The group of cultivators stared in disbelief at the scene before them.
Before the third ripple could even reach him, Shi Buyang's pleading voice came from within the rock. "Elder! Elder! Please have mercy! This disciple surrenders! This disciple surrenders!"
Shi Buyang repeated the word "admit defeat" twice, his voice urgent and fearful, clearly showing his extreme terror.
Just as Shi Buyang spoke, the third ripple stopped right in front of the stone.
The elder in blue robes simply smiled upon hearing this.
"Buzz..."
The third ripple ultimately only resulted in specks of light landing on Shi Buyang. Even discerning cultivators could see that the speed of this third ripple was visibly much slower than the previous two.
Clearly, the Elder in green had anticipated that Shi Buyang wouldn't be able to withstand three attacks before he made his move, and this was a deliberate act to give him a chance to admit defeat and sign in.
After hearing what he said, Shi Buyang was completely convinced. The stone's light flickered slightly, as if it wanted to transform into a human again.
However, no matter how hard Shi Buyang tried, the stone did not move at all, and the light on it even dimmed considerably, but it still maintained the shape of the stone.
Shi Buyang remained silent for a moment before speaking again, "I implore the Grand Elder to lend a hand!"
His tone had long lost its initial arrogance and domineering manner, and he had become cautious.
The onlookers looked at each other in disbelief upon hearing this.
Shi Buyang was a prodigy renowned for his defensive abilities, having once withstood several attacks from the Half-Step Eternal Realm expert without sustaining a scratch.
Even so, Shi Buyang couldn't even withstand a single move from this elder in blue robes.
Two mere, ordinary ripples were enough to severely injure him, rendering him unable to even transform into a human. Just how terrifying must that power be?
For a moment, all the cultivators looked at the Elder in blue robes as if he were a monster.
From the moment this elder in blue robes first appeared, he acted very kindly, causing many cultivators to even forget his strength!
