On the platform, the battle raged fiercely, with immortal lights and magical techniques clashing incessantly, drawing gasps and cheers from the surrounding stands.
When the referee elder announced the name " Jiang Hao of the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace," an eerie silence fell over the previously noisy venue.
Immediately, whispers spread like a tide.
" Jiang Hao? Is that the Jiang Hao who possessed the Immortal King Bone but had them stolen?"
"Wasn't his foundation completely destroyed, rendering him a cripple? How dare he still step onto the stage?"
"Is the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace so incompetent that it sent up a useless person to humiliate himself?"
"What a pity. He was once a renowned prodigy, but now..."
"The lottery has drawn the Demon Race's Crown Prince Xiyuan, whose physical body is incredibly powerful. Isn't this just suicide?"
All eyes were on the figure slowly walking towards the arena.
Jiang Hao was dressed in a simple black outfit today. His posture was still upright, but his face seemed a little thinner than before. The arrogance between his brows was gone, and he was more reserved.
He seemed oblivious to the murmurs around him, and steadily stepped onto the broad platform.
At this moment, Su Ming had already swiftly and decisively defeated his opponent, and said:
" Jiang Hao has undergone a complete transformation this time; he seems even more terrifying than before."
"Yes."
Han Xuanji echoed.
Fortune is not static. After experiencing a great calamity, Jiang Hao underwent a phoenix-like rebirth and is poised to soar to great heights. This is an opportunity.
If Jiang Hao can stand until the end, his future achievements may be limitless.
However, Su Ming might be his biggest obstacle.
As someone personally brought back by the head of the Pill Lineage Sect, Su Ming possesses immense potential, the greatest among all the prodigies he has ever seen.
On the ring.
Jiang Hao's opponent, Crown Prince Xiyuan, was as muscular as a small mountain, with skin that had a bluish-black, rock-like sheen. He had a single horn on his forehead that shimmered with an eerie light, and his body was filled with surging Yao Qi, exuding a Savage Wilderness and ferocious aura.
He sized up Jiang Hao, a hint of disdain flashing in his large, bell-shaped eyes.
"Hmph, is there no one left in the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace?"
"You think you can send a useless piece of trash up here to warm up this prince?"
Crown Prince Xiyuan's voice boomed, filled with undisguised mockery.
"Get down there now, and you might still have your life!"
On the stands, many people shook their heads inwardly, feeling that the outcome was already decided, and some even looked away reluctantly.
However, some people's eyes held a look of anticipation.
Jiang Hao simply raised his eyes calmly, looked at Crown Prince Xiyuan, and said indifferently:
Whether someone is crippled or not, we'll know after the battle.
"Good!"
Crown Prince Xiyuan let out a low roar and slammed his massive foot down on the arena.
boom!
The entire arena trembled slightly as his figure shot out like a cannonball, his giant fist, covered in cyan Demon Power, aimed straight at Jiang Hao's face with a violent aura, as if he wanted to smash him into mincemeat with one punch.
The power contained in this punch is enough to shatter mountains!
"The Divine Rhinoceros Clan is most skilled in physical techniques, known for using brute force to overcome all methods. It seems that this Crown Prince Xiyuan has also mastered some of their secrets."
Many cultivators even let out low gasps of surprise.
Just as that ferocious fist was about to strike...
"Buzz!"
Jiang Hao's black hair moved without wind, and his Qi and Blood roared like a volcanic eruption, faintly transforming into a blurry yet majestic phantom of an ancient Sage behind him.
His eyes gleamed with a fierce light, filled with boundless fighting spirit and confidence.
He neither dodged nor evaded, and threw out a punch in return.
His fist was enveloped in terrifying immortal power, and divine light flickered faintly at his chest, providing him with inexhaustible strength.
"Boom!!!"
The two fists collided, but instead of the sound of bones breaking, they produced a dull, resounding boom like the striking of an ancient divine bell.
Under the gaze of countless incredulous eyes.
The person who stumbled back several steps was none other than the enormous, powerful Crown Prince Xiyuan.
Jiang Hao, however, remained as steady as a rock, slowly retracting his fist, his body surrounded by a shimmering white light, his aura as imposing as a rainbow.
All the doubts and ridicule fell silent.
"What kind of power is that?"
"His foundation... not only has it been restored? But it seems to be even stronger than before?"
"Immortal bone rebirth, not bad, not bad."
The knowledgeable elders immediately saw through the deception.
The idea of immortal bones undergoing rebirth was something I'd only heard about in rumors; I never imagined I'd witness it with my own eyes today.
After undergoing Nirvana, the opponent's talent will become even more terrifying, truly entering the ranks of top geniuses.
In an instant, the top talents from various forces on the high platform also cast surprised glances.
The Jade Pool Holy Maiden let out a soft exclamation, her beautiful eyes sparkling with wonder.
The Buddha Child of Mount Sumeru clasped his hands together, murmured a Buddhist chant, and showed admiration in his eyes.
Jiang Lingxiao, the divine son of the Jiang Household who was surrounded by admirers and whose Qi and Blood were as fiery as the sun, suddenly turned his lazy gaze sharp.
He sat up straight, staring intently at Jiang Hao on the ring, a fighting smile slowly creeping onto his lips.
" Nirvana Immortal Bone... Rebirth from a crippled body, forging an even stronger foundation?"
"Interesting. I didn't expect such a talent to emerge from the younger generation of the Lineage."
Although Jiang Hao was exceptionally talented, he was not of the same generation as him, and the difference in their cultivation levels was enormous.
On the arena, Crown Prince Xiyuan was both shocked and furious, roaring as his attacks became even more frenzied and fierce.
However, Jiang Hao, who possesses the Nirvana Immortal Bone, seems to have inexhaustible power and regenerative ability, becoming stronger and stronger with each battle.
Fists transformed into the most terrifying weapons, celestial light and Yao Qi clashed wildly, creating deafening roars.
What was initially thought to be a one-sided battle has now become surprisingly close.
Moreover, Jiang Hao was clearly fighting using only the methods his opponent was most proficient in.
In the end, Jiang Hao used a peerless fist imprint that incorporated the power of Nirvana Immortal to forcefully break through the defense of Crown Prince Xiyuan, sending him flying backward, coughing up blood, and crashing to the edge of the arena.
"Thank you for your kind offer."
Jiang Hao finished his stance, his chest rising and falling slightly, his aura still powerful, and his eyes sharp as lightning.
After a brief silence, deafening cheers and applause erupted like a tsunami.
"A phoenix rising from the ashes! This is the true prodigy!"
" Spirit Void Heavenly Palace is mighty!"
Jiang Hao in the center of the arena, under the gaze of thousands. At this moment, he announced his return with an even more powerful posture.
"Amazing! Amazing!"
Su Ming nodded repeatedly; this was undoubtedly a formidable yet respectable opponent.
Are you confident?
Han Xuanji asked with a smile.
"Have."
Su Ming nodded firmly, his eyes gleaming.
"I won't lose, senior brother. I won't let you down."
Clearly, Su Ming's trump card was also extraordinary, giving him ample confidence.
Han Xuanji nodded silently. He had to admit that watching people fight was quite interesting.
The immortal techniques and Immortal Method Divine Ability used by these prodigies were all top-tier inheritances, rarely seen in ordinary times.
Seeing the two talking, Immortal Lord Yunmiao became somewhat curious.
Su Ming doesn't act like this with everyone; he always appears aloof and cold in public.
But when he met Han Xuanji, he was completely submissive, acting like a completely different person.
What is it about his disciple that makes him so charismatic?
I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed.
Immortal Lord Yunmiao reflected on himself.
To this day, it seems that he, as Han Xuanji's master, has not taught him anything.
The main reason was that Han Xuanji didn't want anything, appearing completely indifferent to everything, which even he found a little strange.
He offered it to her several times, but Han Xuanji refused each time.
"Could it be that it's my problem?"
Immortal Lord Yunmiao suddenly began to doubt himself.
What did he, as a master, do wrong?
at the same time.
After a series of fierce battles, the fighting in the Heavenly Immortal Realm ended quickly.
Perhaps it was fate, but in the end, it was Su Ming and Jiang Hao who stood on the stage to compete for a spot in the finals.
