Xu Yan's aura was indeed powerful.
On the other hand, what does it matter how strong Lin Xuan's Sword Qi is?
His strength was ultimately only at the Great Emperor Realm.
Great Emperor Realm and Middle Stage of the Saint Realm...
This is an insurmountable barrier.
It is a predicament that even the most talented and extraordinary individuals cannot overcome.
Inside the princess's residence, some people had no idea of Lin Xuan's true strength. After sensing Xu Yan's true realm aura, their expressions all changed.
Xu Yan.
If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't be this nervous.
But this is Xu Yan!
This name had almost disappeared from the Taiyu Divine Dynasty, and no one had mentioned it for a long time. However, at this moment, it reappeared on the Taiyu Divine Dynasty's Mansion Competition with an incomparably powerful presence, and reappeared in people's mouths, eyes, and even hearts, bringing a drumbeat that almost shook the heart and lungs to each and every one of them.
Throughout history, Xu Yan was less than fifty years old.
But in those short fifty years, whenever he appeared, it meant that people no longer needed to look at anyone else.
Because wherever Xu Yan appears, he is invincible!
It is impossible for them to be defeated!
Lin Xuan may seem very strong, but no matter how you look at it, it's clear that he can't possibly compare to Xu Yan.
Not only because Xu Yan is the only son of Great Saint Xu, but also because he is the myth of the entire Taiyu Divine Dynasty, indestructible and unstoppable.
On the arena, Xu Yan looked at Lin Xuan opposite him indifferently, as if he did not take this opponent seriously at all.
But more than anything, it felt like watching something interesting.
Looking at him, he smiled, a slight smile playing on his lips, and slowly began to speak.
"You're clearly only at the Great Emperor Realm, yet you possess strength comparable to the Saint Realm. That's quite interesting."
"If our skill levels were equal, I might not even have a chance to defeat you."
As he spoke, he shook his head.
"Unfortunately, I cannot have a fair fight with you today."
Xu Yan has absolute confidence in herself.
Although Lin Xuan's talent is exceptionally extraordinary.
In fact, the other party was so monstrous that even he believed that if he were also at the Great Emperor Realm and on the same level as Lin Xuan, he would never be able to crush the Saint Realm so easily.
But that's just how unfair the world is.
He, Xu Yan, was not the Great Emperor.
It is Saint Realm.
Moreover, it's not an ordinary Saint Realm.
He was just one step away from reaching the Late Saint Realm. It could be said that his strength at the Middle Stage of the Saint Realm was now close to perfection.
Such a difference in cultivation level... Lin Xuan...
It's absolutely impossible to win!
During this eye contact, Xu Yan noticed the calm expression on Lin Xuan's face but didn't take it seriously.
He simply smiled faintly, and then moved like a wisp of wind.
With this movement, the entire arena seemed to sway along with him.
In an instant, a blinding white light engulfed the entire arena. Almost everyone felt the same blinding light, causing them to instinctively squint.
But it's not just the halo that's piercing.
Even more terrifying was that oppressive aura!
That kind of oppressive aura was like the descent of Moro, causing an uncontrollable tremor within, which manifested physically, filling one with unease and a single thought: the being standing on the arena was absolutely beyond their ability to defeat!
Many discerning individuals recognized the origin of the move Xu Yan used.
Under such blinding light, they couldn't help but marvel and whisper among themselves.
"This... this is the Saint Art created by that Great Saint? It's terrifying..."
"However, isn't it a bit too serious for Xu Yan to use such a Saint Art against a cultivator at the Great Emperor Realm?"
At that moment, almost no one thought Xu Yan would lose.
After all, before this, the opponent had always been invincible.
It is a legend throughout the entire Taiyu Divine Dynasty!
Lin Xuan, however, simply watched this scene quietly, without showing any intention of interrupting.
He could tell that this Saint Art was a strike that Xu Yan could unleash with all his might.
Indeed, it is very powerful.
If he were merely an ordinary Great Emperor prodigy, he might actually have been humiliated and knocked off the stage by this move, thus losing the entire Mansion Competition.
But unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".
As he thought about it, a hint of admiration flashed across Lin Xuan's eyes.
Regardless, Xu Yan's actions are indeed commendable.
Unlike others, he did not underestimate himself simply because he was at the Great Emperor Realm.
Instead, they used their strongest methods right from the start.
Even if you pretend not to care on the surface.
This is respect for the opponent.
Even though Xu Yan felt certain of his victory, he still gave the loser, whom he considered destined to lose, a dignified and respectful performance.
Judging from these two points alone, his temperament and talent are indeed quite good.
Since that's the case...
A faint light flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes.
Then he'll let Xu Yan see his skills.
Just as Xu Yan's terrifying Saint Art Divine Ability was about to strike him, Lin Xuan gently closed his eyes.
In an instant, the black and white yin-yang symbol swirled beneath his feet.
Sword Domain.
Expand!
The heavens and earth seemed to change color in that instant...
No.
It's not just "seems".
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, the black and white yin-yang fish soared into the sky, the two energies condensing into one, instantly breaking through the white light brought about by Xu Yan's Saint Art.
Heaven and earth were cleansed.
A vast expanse of Sword Qi swept out.
Xu Yan was like a piece of paper that was easily broken before the Chaotic Pisces, and it shattered instantly.
The already terrifying Sword Qi surrounding Lin Xuan suddenly surged countless times.
Thousands of Sword Qi condensed into one.
It rotated like a full moon, and then spread outwards with Lin Xuan as the center.
But scattering doesn't mean disappearing.
They appear to have disappeared.
However, countless others are not present.
Below the stage, many skilled Sword Dao practitioners had completely lost control of their bodies. They stood up in astonishment, staring blankly at the stage, too excited and shocked to utter a single word.
At that moment, almost everyone felt a chill run down their spine.
Sword... Sword Domain!!
They never imagined that something they could neither cultivate nor obtain would actually be seen in a Great Emperor!
Moreover, it's not a newly formed Sword Domain.
It is a complete Sword Domain, entirely controlled by its master.
Compared to the Saint Art released by Xu Yan, it could be described as silent and stealthy, yet omnipresent, releasing murderous intent and capable of taking the enemy's head in a subtle and swift manner.
Xu Yan's expression immediately changed.
