Lin Xun did not look back at all, as if he did not notice.

Behind him, a crystal clear rain of sword qi emerged, and dense Taixuan sword qi suddenly burst out.

Kaboom!

In the earth-shaking collision, Wu Huang's silent punch was completely dissolved. Following that, the dense sword qi flowed towards him, forcing him to dodge and retreat.

The people who had been originally tense breathed a sigh of relief.

The previous clash was simply too thrilling!

Wu Huang reached out and grabbed, taking back the Divine Blood Prison Wheel. At the same time, he moved again, faster than lightning!

Light gray mist burst around his right arm as he swung the Divine Blood Prison Wheel and slashed at Lin Xun.

The void roared as if it was about to collapse.

The Holy Imperial Apostle from the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect immediately became overbearing and powerful. This was especially true for the Divine Blood Prison Wheel in his hand, which was full of a destructive aura.

Lin Xun's eyes flashed, and endless sacred scarlet clouds appeared behind him. They were bright red and full of burning power.

The innate magical power of the Red Flame Dao Body was the Eyes of Smoldering Flames, but, in addition to this, it was also able to re-interpret the various arts controlled by him.

In essence, the only difference between the Red Flame Dao Body and his original body was that it did not have his Origin Aeth Artery. Instead, it had the Eyes of Smoldering Flames.

He waved his hands and casually used his boundless, reinterpreted arts, which were terrifying.

In a flash, the two had clashed with each other hundreds of times.

People were surprised to find that even with bare hands, Jin Duyi had never been suppressed in a head-on confrontation!

The Divine Blood Prison Wheel was terrifying, and Wu Huang’s combat power was sky-high. Yet, they couldn't do anything to Jin Duyi!

"Where did this monster come from? His talent is too heaven defying."

Some people took in a breath of cold air.

Lu Dubu, Xie Yuhua, and the others from the younger generation were also very excited.

Jin Duyi had really surprised them too many times. The strength he showed in every duel was always beyond their expectations.

"Broken Yin Finger!"

On the battlefield, Wu Huang suddenly pointed forward.

The resulting finger force was as black as ink with a strange and eerie luster as if it could destroy everything!

Lin Xun stretched and pressed out with one finger in response.

A Moment of Spring and Autumn!

When combined with the Red Flame Dao Body, it was as if the eternal history of the world had turned into ashes within blazing flames, revealing a terrifying destructive power.

Boom!

The two collided with each other with a giant rumble as divine light exploded.

Without waiting a beat, Lin Xun pushed forward violently as his whole body radiated heat like an inferno. He slammed out a heaven-shaking punch with intense killing intent.

From a distance, he resembled a moving, white-hot furnace that was raging out of control!

With a loud bang, Wu Huang staggered back. That single punch had caused his blood and qi to roil turbulently, and all of his clothes had almost been burned.

The whole audience was flabbergasted.

It looked like Wu Huang was at a disadvantage!

"Hmph!" snarled Wu Huang.

The look in his eyes was terrifying as he was truly infuriated. His black hair scattered as he raised his head and howled. The unexpected sound resembled thunder, startling many spectators!

Within seconds, he grew a pair of gray wings and his head had morphed into a bird's head.

"Four-Eye Bird!"

Some people were astonished. This was a fierce, ancient bird, a rare creature that had four strange eyes. It was known for being aggressive and powerful!

Obviously, this was Wu Huang's original form!

Lin Xun seemed indifferent to this and continued to activate his own arts and laws. His sacred scarlet flames covered the sky and the earth, making the atmosphere reach a boiling temperature.

Wu Huang's four eyes shot out four beams of light: black, white, blue, and purple. They then turned into a mysterious Four Directions Soul Killing Diagram and flew into the air.

Boom!

When the attacks collided, divine light exploded causing an earth-shaking response. Everyone’s hearts were beating rapidly as their eyes became overwhelmed by the scene.

Both were clearly very strong, and neither of them was willing to retreat a step. They charged forward with an indomitable momentum and became entangled in a thrilling and extraordinary showdown.

As a Holy Imperial Apostle, Wu Huang was arrogant and proud. Furthermore, he was in the peak Saint-King Stage, so he did not believe that anyone could surpass him. Thus, he was extremely domineering.

"Die!"

His eyes were cold as his aura changed again. One hand was covered with roiling gray mist as it controlled the Divine Blood Prison Wheel. Meanwhile his four eyes continued to shoot out divine light that pierced the sky and the earth.

Seeing this, Lin Xun finally stopped holding back.

Boom!

In the countless acupoints in his body, blazing Taixuan sword qi appeared one after another. They surged within his blood, causing a clanging and ringing sound in his ears.

Then, his whole body gave off an incredibly sharp feeling, making him resemble a peerless immortal sword coming out of the world that was keen and murderous.

"What a terrible aura!"

"Is this the true power of this boy?"

All the bigwigs couldn't sit still as they were shocked senseless.

Lu Dubu, Xie Yuhua and others were also awed as their worldview had been overturned. In their eyes, Jin Duyi had transformed into a completely different person.

Earlier, he had been violent and wild, but now he was dazzling and unparalleled!

"Die!" shouted Wu Huang.

He had also noticed that something was off. With his hair flying, the Divine Blood Prison Wheel in his palm hummed as stirred the world.

Right then, Lin Xun waved his arms and the Taixuan sword qi whistled out.

Omni-Direction Sword Rain!

Each individual sword qi was red-hot, magnificent, and unparalleled. They all emitted a sharp and inferno-like aura.

Boom!

The two collided and caused a chain of explosions.

Under the countless sword qi, Wu Huang was forced to retreat continuously. In the end, he had been forced away and almost fell from the battlefield.

Everyone's hearts were pounding furiously as they were overwhelmed by the spectacle.

The two combatants had been fighting continuously as they constantly changed their strategies. At this point, all of the arts and techniques they used were top-notch. The sheer ferocity of their battle was rarely ever seen in this world!

Some people even sighed to themselves, musing that these two must have pushed the level of the Supreme Saint-King Stage to its limits. Not to mention ordinary cultivators, even the best geniuses in the world were destined to look dim next to them.

At this time, the fact that Wu Huang was being successively suppressed was even more shocking.

It was horrifying that he was on the defensive despite using an Emperor-grade treasure. Just how heaven defying was his opponent?

"Is this your true power? Not bad, but unfortunately, you are doomed to fail this time!"

Wu Huang's expression became extremely cold, and his eyes were filled with icy and murderous intent. An inexplicable aura began to grow from him and finally burst out like a landslide, making him seem even more imposing.

Boom!

Within seconds, Wu Huang's aura had completely transformed. His combat power soared as his hair streamed behind him like a waterfall. His four eyes glowed with a strange, colorful divine light

An invisible domain had formed around him as it rotated. This was an astonishing aura, feeling as if it had come from a resurrected god that was looking down on the world.

Boom!

When Wu Huang raised his hand and laws shimmered and intertwined around his fingers as lightning and thunder flashed in an instant.

Everyone, including the influential figures, gasped when they witnessed this. They were keenly aware that it was possible that Wu Huang could break through at any time. In fact, he had long reached the perfect Supreme Saint-King Stage, but he had just been suppressing it.

Obviously, he had pushed down his cultivation for the Dao Debate Assembly!

Lin Xun's dark eyes were grim. Even he had to admit that the power displayed by Wu Huang had successfully aroused his inner fighting spirit.

With a loud explosion, divine clouds flew up, and arcs of electricity intertwined with each other.

Wu Huang acted first as he used a secret method. He pinched a divine seal with his hands, and a bloody door appeared in front of him.

This door looked extremely blurry, but the bloody aura it exuded was terrifying and shocking. This was his Great Dao Field, Gate of Savage Blood.[1]

It was simply a door, but it was like a force that communicated with a mysterious world, where blood flowed endlessly in a gruesome manner.

Everyone was shocked and extremely surprised when they saw this. This was also the first time that Wu Huang had exhibited his Great Dao Field.[2]Great

"What do you have to fight with me? In terms of pure strength, I have enough to kill you!" Wu Huang announced.

His eyes were cold and ruthless, and his words were harsh.

"You really are a chatterbox full of nonsense."

Lin Xun was glowing, and his spirit and qi were rampaging inside him.

Kaboom

!

The Gate of Savage Blood had arrived, covering the area with its horrifying might.

At this moment, Lin Xun threw a simple punch.

This punch was like a furnace but not a furnace, like an abyss but not an abyss. It surged with a blazing radiance, and the aura it exuded was extremely frightening.

This was the power of his Great Dao Field at its advanced stage!

To the naked eye, the Gate of Savage Blood trembled violently after being hit by the punch before it exploded. The shower of light in the sky was crushed by the unparalleled fist power and annihilated in the void.

Kaboom!

Caught off guard, Wu Huang was blown away again as he bled from all seven orifices. If he hadn't tried his best to block it, this blow alone would have severely injured him!

His expression changed drastically, and he was shocked beyond words. He had already used his strongest powers. In fact, an Emperor had once praised his Great Dao Field.

But now, it had actually been blocked. How astounding was this?!

Outside the arena, everyone was stunned as an expression of disbelief surfaced on their faces. Every attack Wu Huang revealed was amazing and horrifying.

However, he was thwarted by Jin Duyi everytime, which was also incredible.

In addition, Wu Huang had been injured this time.

"What can you have to fight with me?" Lin Xun said calmly.

Wu Huang's face immediately turned gloomy because his previous taunt had been thrown right back at him.

"You will lose now!"

In Wu Huang's palm, a bright red nine-inch sharp spearhead suddenly appeared as it flashed in the void.

Everyone’s expressions flickered.

This move again!

In his previous duel with Lu Dubu, Wu Huang had relied on this to finally defeat Lu Dubu.

The most terrifying thing was that it was completely impossible to defend against it as no one could even glimpse into its origins, which made it quite odd.

Sure enough, Lin Xun, who was about to dodge, suddenly stopped and frowned. The situation he had encountered was almost the same as Lu Dubu's at that time.

Something’s wrong!

Lu Dubu's heart skipped a beat.

He knew best out of all of them that the bright red spearhead would directly invade into one’s sea of consciousness and spirit. It was filled with a terrible and strange power that did not belong to Wu Huang at all and was also extremely powerful.

Although he was incredibly strong, he had suffered a great loss against it.

And now, Jin Duyi had obviously been hit!

"You will lose!"

Wu Huang rushed forward as he seized the opportunity and appeared in front of Lin Xun for the first time in a long time. The Divine Blood Prison Wheel in his palm rotated rapidly as it slashed towards Lin Xun's head.

If Lin Xun was hit, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Outside of the arena, Guan Xu and Heng Xiao looked solemn. After realizing that something was wrong, they were ready to interfere at any moment.

After all, this was just a dao competition, not a light or death fight. Who would watch a peerless figure like Jin Duyi being killed without trying to intervene first?

At least, Heng Xiao would be the first one who would not agree to this!

If he let the sect founder’s junior uncle die right under his own nose, how would he be able to explain this to their ancestor?

Translator note:

I smell a cheater.

1. If you recall, back in 1898, the story stated that Wu Huang’s Great Dao Field was called Ten Directions Luosha during the second round of selections. Not sure why it is now called Gate of Savage Blood and in a different form, maybe he upgraded it after taking the Shangqing Fortune Pill. ☜

2. Uhm ok, not according to chapter 1898. ☜
