Instantly Crushing the Light-Breaking Fire Divine Spear, His Name Spread Far and Wide
The arena marked on Hot Spring Mountain was already guarded by a Dao Foundation Realm expert, and he directly challenged this person.
Li Fan appeared on the surface of a desolate planet, a mile away from his opponent.
"Later Realm of Dao Foundation!"
"Dao Foundation Initial Realm?"
Two voices appeared simultaneously on the battlefield, startling both sides.
Before the defending champion could persuade the newcomer to leave, a watchful gaze and a notification appeared at the scene.
"The first match of the Hot Spring Mountain Arena begins. No methods exceeding the Dao Foundation Establishment stage are permitted; all other methods are disregarded."
The defending champion, left with no other option, began to gather his spells:
"Young man, you're a bit arrogant. Let me, your senior, teach you a lesson."
Li Fan's lips curled into a relaxed smile as a vast surge of Blood Qi coursed through his body.
"Young people naturally need to explore the world; otherwise, what kind of youth are they?"
A long river of black blood, so thick it distorted even the light, formed around him, unleashing an unparalleled and terrifying power from his immense [Black Blood True Power].
The defending champion's lips twitched. Sensing the opponent's terrifying accumulation of magic, his expression changed slightly. A flaming spear appeared in his hand, its tip radiating extreme piercing power and intense heat.
First-Tier High Grade spiritual weapon [Light-Breaking Fire Divine Spear].
"Blood Qi Dao cultivator, then let me see what a young person is like?"
His magical power surged, infusing the artifact with terrifying light and heat that began to rise over a hundred miles of space. The barren land instantly withered and melted, and all the light and heat in the world were absorbed and compressed towards him.
Li Fan didn't pay much attention to his opponent, but instead focused on sensing the changes in the form of the Black Blood True Power River.
"Hmm! My proficiency isn't high enough; I can only maintain the simplest Blood River form."
"Once this spell is mastered, one should be able to freely transform and create various magical artifacts to wield."
The arena is a battlefield where light and heat reach their extremes on one side, and darkness reigns supreme on the other, the center of ultimate power.
The defending champion swung his spear, which was stacked to its limit, and thrust it towards Li Fan in a mere instant.
Li Fan raised his hand, and the long river of black blood behind him, like his arm, swung towards the spear.
First Tier spell [Blood River Force-Wielding Mountain-Breaking Spell]
Wherever the Black Blood River went, light was devoured, and even the aurora-like sharpness of the spiritual weapon [Light-Breaking Fire Divine Spear], which was superimposed with many mysterious spells, was covered, enveloped, and destroyed.
"Uh~"
The [Light-Breaking Fire Divine Spear], First Tier spirit metal weapon, emitted a sound of unbearable strain under extreme pressure.
The defending champion's eyes snapped open, and in the brief instant of his attack, his surroundings plunged into utter darkness, leaving only the sharp edge of the [Light-Breaking Fire Divine Spear] remaining, illuminating the world.
His divine sense swept outwards, but it was distorted beyond recognition. He could only sense an endless, dense force field, bound and layered by various mysterious methods, transforming into weapons that were attached to him.
"This feeling is like a black hole! But how is this possible..."
In just a moment, his consciousness briefly stagnated again, and then the vast universe reappeared in the stagnant Star River of the Dreamlike True and False Realm.
He stood up, his gaze somewhat vacant, staring intently at the arena in the sky that represented Hot Spring Mountain.
"How is this possible? Initial Realm being instantly killed by the Later Realm? Is there any justice in this world? I've never heard of such a feat before."
A number of Dao Foundation cultivators gathered around him, waiting for their turn to fight. Seeing his dejected appearance, they assumed he was a second-generation cultivator who couldn't accept his defeat and couldn't help but feel some disdain.
"Is it really necessary? We, the cultivators of this academy, fight against heaven and earth. Even if we lose hundreds or thousands of matches, we still have a chance to start over and catch up."
At that moment, someone flashed with a halo and rushed straight towards the Hot Spring Mountain.
One of the monks clapped his hands and cursed angrily:
"That Wang Laoliu guy, he's such a sly fellow, he actually managed to find an empty arena."
Less than two seconds later, Wang Laoliu reappeared in the same spot, looking completely bewildered.
"Who am I? Where am I? What happened?"
Some people noticed something was amiss; the two people who came out of the Hot Spring Mountain both looked like they were questioning the meaning of life, which was extremely eye-catching.
Someone asked:
"Has something happened at Hot Spring Mountain?"
"They came out so quickly, did they run into Dao Foundation cultivator at the Perfection Realm?"
Some immediately objected, finding it unlikely.
"That's unlikely. Dao Foundation cultivators at the Perfection Realm already have their own spiritual mountains and cave dwellings. They wouldn't stoop so low as to try and steal from us."
Then someone, refusing to believe it, rushed into the Hot Spring Mountain arena as a third person, only to be knocked out within seconds.
"Holy shit!"
"Classmates, we've encountered a monster. A Blood Qi Dao cultivator at the initial Foundation Establishment stage instantly killed me, a [Heavenly River Water] cultivator at the mid-stage of the Dao realm, in a single move! Is there no justice in this world?"
After learning the reason, the many cultivators were in an uproar.
"What's going on? Which old monster has started over?"
"Hey, don't say that. Maybe it's a real person rebuilding their cultivation. If someone hears that, they'll be making a big deal out of it."
"Blood Qi Dao, is this a new cultivation lineage? No one has yet achieved mastery. Could it be a prodigy like Li Mingxi or Zhang Longhu?"
The news of a ruthless person emerging from Hot Spring Mountain spread among thousands of Dao Foundation cultivators.
Some people even went out of the Dreamlike True and False Realm to discuss this matter on the Heavenly Immortal Star Academy forum.
In no time, this Blood Qi Dao cultivator became famous.
Many people began to search for this person's background, but he had no record of entering or leaving the Academy Star System, nor had he signed up for any competitions or given any lectures.
If those who knew Li Fan didn't say so, there really wouldn't be many people who could figure out his background.
The competition proceeded extremely quickly, taking place within a single day.
A hundred battles were fought, with tens of thousands of cultivators constantly battling for the Spirit Mountain Arena they could defend.
Many cultivators who felt they had little hope of competing for the Spirit Mountain had their attention diverted to another matter.
"The latest ranking of the top 100 battles reveals the four most terrifying cultivators at the Dao Foundation Initial Realm."
"Li Fan, Daoist name Buzhen, is Blood Qi Dao cultivator. His record in the top 100 battles is that he can instantly kill all cultivators at or below the Dao Foundation Later Realm, and they cannot withstand his attacks with just one move."
"Xu Xuan, Daoist name Pijie, is a cultivator of the Thunder Qi Dao. In the Hundred Great Battles, he can instantly kill any cultivator at the mid-stage of the Dao Foundation Middle Realm or below, with a single move being enough to defeat them. Even against cultivators at the Later Realm, he can kill them after a hundred rounds by unleashing his full power."
"Zhang Longhu, Daoist name Zhenwu, is a True Qi Dao cultivator. His record in the top 100 battles is that he instantly kills all cultivators at the mid-stage of the Dao Foundation Middle Realm or below, and they cannot withstand a single move..."
"Jiang Wendao, Daoist name Qingchen, a cultivator of the Pure Qi Dao..."
Some people checked the battle records of these people and found that they were all new path cultivators, which made them feel strange.
"Why are they all cultivators from the new path? Where are the other powerful lineages? Why aren't people from the Taiyin and Taiyang, or the Five Elements Supreme Dao Foundations ranked?"
