156: The Arrogant Dragon Slayer

This Realm Ranking Battle is not just a symbol of honor; there will also be rewards based on the results.

If a realm can successfully advance its position, it will receive an influx of resources from the human race's high-level authorities.

This means that the strength and foundation of the favored realm will rapidly increase, and with the ebb and flow, the outcome is obvious.

Moreover, the powerful individuals representing their realms can obtain spirit artifacts, magical tools, cultivation techniques, divine abilities, and secret arts, all tailored to their needs.

The rules are simple: each lower-ranked realm has one opportunity to choose an opponent ranked higher than itself.

Of course, this can almost only be done within the same realm level, as it's practically impossible to fight above one's level among such a gathering of powerful individuals.

If one fails, he is directly disqualified from this grand competition and can only passively accept challenges.

If he succeeds, he can challenge again, and so on.

As for the consumption of spiritual energy, The Elder Host of the competition has already made preparations.

In the sky, a towering ancient tree floats, with lush branches and leaves, radiating immortal light, and rich spiritual energy emanating from it.

The Immortal Spirit Ancient Tree is an extremely rare treasure in the world, containing vast reserves of spiritual energy within its body.

It can restore a target's spiritual energy loss and injuries at an extremely fast rate, even for those in the Saint Realm.

Therefore, such rare treasures of heaven and earth are extremely scarce even among the human race, and most people have never even heard of them.

The aged The Elder Host saw this and then said, "Those at the peak of the Venerable Realm will begin in sequence!"

Due to the large number of participants, a very long time was consumed, but no one among the spectators complained.

After all, anyone who could participate was at least at the peak of the Venerable Realm, and every battle was so thrilling.

Especially those Venerable Realm powerhouses, their expressions were extremely serious; if they could comprehend something from the battles, it would be a significant opportunity for them.

The battles among hundreds of peak Venerable Realm cultivators alone lasted for several days.

However, the faces of millions of people in the world were filled with an unfulfilled desire.

Many Venerable Realm cultivators even achieved enlightenment on the spot, breaking through their original realms, making others envious.

This is also one of the meanings of this grand event: no matter the race, competition must never be lost, nor should there be stagnation.

Otherwise, if one gets too comfortable, and turmoil arises in the future, the consequences would be catastrophic.

The meaning of the grand competition is precisely this: to test the human race's foundation while stimulating competition among them.

Another aspect is the clash between top powerhouses, which can allow them to gain insights and rise rapidly.

Only in this way can the human race forever stand at the pinnacle of the Tianwu Continent.

Next, it was time for the battles between Celestial Venerables, which made the millions of people even more expectant.

Even Celestial Venerable powerhouses only exist in some powerful realms and are considered beings that can be heard of but rarely seen.

Not to mention that now, over a hundred Celestial Venerable powerhouses have gathered; this is a force that cannot be ignored.

After a long period of battles, it was the turn of a middle-aged man with a worried expression and tightly furrowed brows.

After being reminded, he quickly snapped back to attention, took a deep breath, and scanned his eyes to choose an opponent.

He finally chose a female Celestial Venerable, entered the specially arranged battle platform, cupped his hands to her, and loudly declared:

"Ancient Sun Realm, Dragon-Slaying Celestial Venerable, please enlighten me!"

The female Celestial Venerable on the opposite side also responded, "Azure Rainbow Realm, Celestial Venerable Lan Yue!"

"Oh, my!"

"Isn't that the old man's father?"

Big Yellow Dog exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this, involuntarily looking at the Scarlet Dragon Half-Saint beside him.

After all, the other party had previously held a grudge against his father, and the reason lay in that title.

A hint of anger flashed in Scarlet Dragon Half-Saint's eyes, but now was not the time to settle scores.

After Dragon-Slaying Celestial Venerable entered the battle platform, his previous worried expression was replaced by an arrogant one.

Although he was arrogant, it had to be said that his strength in the Celestial Venerable Realm had few rivals.

Therefore, even though the opponent was also a powerful Celestial Venerable, he did not take her seriously at all.

He crooked his finger, signaling for her to make the first move.

Celestial Venerable Lan Yue's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she showed no intention of being polite, gripping a sky-blue longsword tightly in her hand.

She unleashed a blue sword light, tearing through the void, and slashed towards her opponent.

Dragon-Slaying Celestial Venerable's lips curled into a cold smile; with a flick of his finger, he easily shattered the sword light.

Hmph!

Celestial Venerable Lan Yue's eyes narrowed, and her full aura surged forth without reservation; a bright moon appeared in the sky, casting down a hazy glow.

The longsword in her hand trembled slightly, radiating brilliant light, and she swung it again; the sword light transformed into a crescent moon, its power even greater than before.

Even Dragon-Slaying Celestial Venerable dared not be careless with the power of this attack; he condensed a fist imprint in his hand and fiercely threw a punch.

"Dragon Extermination Fist!"

He roared, and the fist imprint was unstoppable, directly blasting the crescent blade light into smithereens.

The fist imprint still had residual power, heading towards Celestial Venerable Lan Yue.

The latter was out of strength and could only hastily parry, being sent back ten thousand feet.

A flush appeared on her beautiful face, caused by surging qi and blood, clearly indicating she was somewhat outmatched.

Scarlet Dragon couldn't help but twitch his mouth, finding the other party increasingly displeasing to his eyes.

Who did their Dragon Clan offend? Not only did he call himself Dragon-Slaying Celestial Venerable, but even his martial skills were like that.

He only felt a deep malice.

Big Yellow Dog glanced at Scarlet Dragon with a half-smile, then looked at the arrogant Dragon-Slaying Celestial Venerable in the arena with a hint of pity.

Dragon-Slaying Celestial Venerable felt the awe and admiration in the eyes of millions of people, and a hint of smugness flashed in his eyes.

Even the matter of his son, which had caused him some worry, was temporarily cast aside, and the corners of his mouth curved into an arc.

He laughed heartily, "Celestial Venerable Lan Yue, I have long heard of your great name and greatly admire you."

"Why don't we become Dao companions and support each other? It would be a beautiful story, what do you think?"

His tone was arrogant as he teased her.

Upon hearing this, her face showed a hint of frost, and a sharp glint flashed in her eyes.

She said coldly, "Dragon-Slaying Celestial Venerable, please respect yourself. Although I am not your opponent, I am not someone you can insult at will!"

"Hehe, quite spirited, I like it. But I have a flaw; the more you resist, the more excited I get."

"It's not too late to consider after I take you down, is it?"

Celestial Venerable Lan Yue heard this and said no more; she chanted incantations, and her entire aura erupted.

A trace of fresh blood even spilled from the corner of her mouth; she raised the longsword in her hand and continuously brandished it in the air.

"Moon Flash Kill!"

An extremely terrifying pressure descended; the full moon in the sky became as dazzling as the sun, erupting with tangible moonlight.

It silently shone around Dragon-Slaying Celestial Venerable, tightly binding him within it.

Feeling the intense killing intent, Dragon-Slaying Celestial Venerable's playful expression also receded, and a sharp glint shot from his eyes.

"Dragon Slaying Shattering Kill!"

He mobilized the spiritual energy within his body, and his right fist glowed brightly, circulating with destructive intent, punching straight forward.

The power spread, shattering the surrounding moonlight, and ruthlessly pierced towards Celestial Venerable Lan Yue's chest!
