Beneath the abyss, all eyes are on them.
All eyes were on Lan Yingying, like spotlights, which made her straighten her back even more.
Before her, almost no challenger could withstand more than a few moves from the Demon Emperor Chongming. Lan Yingying's appearance naturally aroused people's expectations.
Being ranked Thirty-Six on the Mystic Ranking should at least dampen that guy's arrogance, right?
Amidst the whispers of the crowd, Lan Yingying leaped onto the arena and bowed to the Demon Emperor Chongming.
"I am Lan Yingying, ranked Thirty-Six on the Mystic Ranking. I humbly request guidance from Senior Zong."
The woman standing on the arena paid the "challenge fee" decisively, drew her long sword, and stood there with a dashing air.
She wore a light blue dress, her expression was calm, and her brows were filled with a heroic spirit. Every gesture she made was graceful and poised. Although she had wheat-colored skin, she was indeed a rare beauty.
But the Demon Emperor Chongming had neither a fondness for beauty nor a desire to cherish talent.
He heard the whispers around him, but he wasn't particularly interested.
Over the years, among those who have tried to challenge him, there have been countless people on various lists, such as the Mystic Ranking or the Earth Ranking.
Among them, there are countless others that rank first on these lists.
But over the years, the Demon Emperor Chongming has no idea how many first, second, third... he has defeated on the Mystic Ranking.
But whether they were first or second, no one could withstand more than a few moves from him.
The girl in front of me...
Thirty-Six on the Mystic Ranking?
To put it bluntly, in the eyes of the Demon Emperor Chongming, he's nothing but a fart!
He coldly watched Lan Yingying, who was highly praised by the other cultivators, and as soon as she raised her head and uttered the words "Instructions," he directly unleashed a strike.
With one blow, Lan Yingying couldn't even parry, let alone retaliate, and was knocked off the stage, covered in dust.
"I..."
When Lan Yingying came to her senses, she found herself standing on the ground, with the edge of the ring just inches away in front of her. She could only stare blankly, her heart filled with shock.
She lost just like that?
Was there only two breaths between the moment she stepped into the ring and the moment she lost the match?
Lan Yingying bit her lip tightly, completely incredulous.
Since her birth, she has rarely been defeated or even suffered a loss in the same realm, let alone been defeated by anyone.
Those who could defeat her were all renowned geniuses on the Mystic Ranking, those above her.
Even they couldn't possibly knock her off the stage in one move, not even giving her time to react.
But the spirit guarding the arena is so terrifying!
With the same level of strength as her, he defeated her in one move. If this weren't just a duel in the arena, she would probably be in danger right now!
Thinking of this, Lan Yingying felt both fortunate and regretful. She wiped her face, shook her head with a wry smile.
really...
Thearch Grade Cultivation Method are not so easy to obtain.
The power displayed by this soul is so great that even the number one on the Mystic Ranking would likely be of no use to it.
It's unknown what kind of being this person was in life, but after death, he transformed into a spirit to guard the arena and become a legacy spirit. He was no ordinary person.
Even if someone's cultivation level is the same as his, or even several levels higher, no one could defeat them, right?
That's Zhenzhen strong.
Lan Yingying sighed, rubbed her stiff cheeks, and shook her head in resignation.
"This legacy is not meant for me; I have lost."
The Demon Emperor Chongming casually flicked his sleeve, silently tucking the resources handed over by Lan Yingying into it. He lowered his eyes and stood quietly, waiting for the next "sucker".
He couldn't be bothered to explain to these people that this wasn't a place of inheritance, and even less to explain that he wasn't some kind of spirit of inheritance.
In the end, they're all just his tools; there's no difference between them.
But the Demon Emperor Chongming didn't notice that the white-robed youth standing beside the arena was looking at him with a thoughtful expression.
From the moment Lan Yingying stepped onto the stage until she was knocked off, there wasn't even two breaths left; she failed almost in the blink of an eye.
Lin Xuan did not act rashly. Instead, he used the system to scan the so-called "Spirit of Inheritance" on the arena, and the information immediately appeared before Lin Xuan eyes.
Name: Wu Liang ( Demon Emperor Chongming )
Age: Thirty-Four years old
Realm: Thearch Realm Third Layer
Identity: Chongming Demon Race Clan
Destiny: Golden Crow Rare Blood (Gold Rank 7)
Recent events: Income is insufficient to cover expenses, and there is anxiety about how to prolong the existence of the soul.
After reading the information about the Demon Emperor Chongming, Lin Xuan's heart stirred.
He was actually at the Thearch Realm? That was quite unexpected.
and...
Gold Seventh-Grade Mandate of Heaven!
hiss...
Even Lin Xuan was somewhat surprised.
This was the only being he had seen besides himself who was close to Su Lianxin in terms of Destiny Level!
Moreover, this person was not Human Race, but an High Antiquity giant of the Demon Race who was hundreds of thousands of years old!
If those around them knew that the spirit of their cherished inheritance was actually a demon emperor, they would probably be utterly astonished.
Lin Xuan quietly observed the Demon Emperor Chongming, the strongest being he had ever seen.
Thearch Realm Third Layer!
Compared to that, even Heavenly Venerable Yunli is nothing.
Although the Heavenly Venerable is already at the pinnacle of the Venerable Realm, there is still an insurmountable gap between him and the Great Emperor.
The Great Emperor is a true supreme powerhouse.
Even at his peak, Heavenly Venerable Yunli was nothing more than an ant before this former Demon Emperor, whom he could easily destroy.
but...
That's all in the past now.
The current Demon Emperor is merely a wisp of a soul about to dissipate.
Tsk tsk.
Lin Xuan thought about it and an idea came to him.
The Sword Pavilion now only has the Sword Master, the Pavilion Master, and disciples.
The Sword Master is essentially an elder, and since he, the Pavilion Master, is lacking a deputy Pavilion Master, why not let this Demon Emperor take on that role?
Thinking it over, Lin Xuan leaped onto the arena.
The Demon Emperor Chongming... no, it should be called Wu Liang, although he himself doesn't even remember that his name is Wu Liang now.
Wu Liang glanced at Lin Xuan, his gaze lingering on Lin Xuan for a moment.
Although Lin Xuan Xuan's aura wasn't strong, he managed to escape the notice of others, but he couldn't escape the eyes of Wu Liang.
At a glance, he could tell that Lin Xuan indeed possessed unique and extraordinary qualities.
However, as good as he is, how many moves could this person withstand at the same level?
Wu Liang lowered his eyes in thought.
I wonder if this young man in white can make it into the top ten of all the cultivators who have challenged him?
Thinking about it that way, he was starting to look forward to it.
So far, Wu Liang has done a rough count, and of all the cultivators who have challenged him, only one person has been able to withstand three moves from him.
Around 16,000 years ago, a woman named Chi Ling withstood six moves from him.
Of course, it was only six moves; it was still far from enough to defeat him.
Pulling his thoughts back from the past to the present, Wu Liang looked at Lin Xuan and uttered his first words after opening the arena.
"You're not bad."
Although it was only a single sentence, it startled everyone present, and they all turned to look in Lin Xuan's direction.
Lan Yingying glanced at Lin Xuan unexpectedly, and after seeing his true face, her eyes showed a hint of confusion.
This person looks extremely ordinary, and his presence is even less imposing than mine, yet he received such high praise from this senior?
You should know that even she didn't get a single word from this senior; she only received a cursory glance when she went on stage!
What exactly are the abilities of this young man in white?
