201: A breakthrough on the battlefield, breaking free from constraints

“Again!”

Qin Ding also wielded the Tianyun Divine Staff to its limit, each strike carrying immense power.

Sparks flew in the sky, and continuous, ear-piercing metallic clangs resounded without end.

The battle between the two sides was shocking to many; it didn't resemble two Great Experts fighting at all, but rather two Supremes.

Of course, what was most exhilarating was that Qin Ding, facing a seasoned legendary Great Expert, showed no signs of being at a disadvantage, even subtly gaining the upper hand.

Qin Ding had only just entered the Great Expert Realm, yet he possessed such combat power.

“Blade Emperor, your Dao of the Blade is indeed very strong, but unfortunately, your other aspects haven't kept up. This battle can end now.”

Qin Ding stepped forward, and a terrifying phantom of a Divine Demon condensed behind him from his surging vital energy.

This time, the Divine Demon phantom seemed somewhat solidified, and Qin Ding's Tianyun Divine Staff was held within its grasp.

As this strike fell, space itself shattered. If not for the powerful Restriction protecting this floating island, this single strike would have been enough to shatter the island.

At this moment, the light in the Heaven and Earth dimmed, and a dark glow emanated from the Tianyun Divine Staff. Even ordinary Supremes paled at this sight.

This strike had no technique, no complex variations, yet it seemed to leave no escape.

“Good!” At this moment, the Blade Emperor, instead, burst into laughter. He did not retreat.

All his Spiritual Qi converged on his blade, and a resounding blade hum echoed. At this moment, the Blade Emperor seemed to merge with his blade, man and blade as one.

This strike concentrated all of the Blade Emperor's Peak combat power at this moment. With this single strike, even ordinary Supremes would die with regret.

Boom!

At this moment, a loud bang erupted, and a violent surge of energy rippled out. This forceThe shock wave turned into a mushroom cloud, spreading outwards.

“Open for me!”

The Blade Emperor roared, and at this moment, all his power was unleashed, entering a strange state.

At this moment, endless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged from various parts of the Qin Family, and the destination of this surging Spiritual Qi was surprisingly the Blade Emperor's body.

Under immense pressure, the Blade Emperor actually achieved a Breakthrough.

However, after completing the Breakthrough, the Blade Emperor became somewhat hesitant.

“Go all out, otherwise your Dao of the Blade won't be able to fully utilize its advantages.”

Qin Ding also knew what the Blade Emperor was thinking.

The latter was afraid of truly injuring him.

Because the transformation from Great Expert to Supreme was also very significant.

With Qin Ding's confirmation, the Blade Emperor's battle blade charged forward at this moment, as if nothing could stop him.

At this moment, an imprint also appeared on Qin Ding's brow, and only raging flames could be seen flowing down the Tianyun Divine Staff.

“Soul Flame!”

Many people exclaimed in surprise; Soul Flame was definitely something that could make countless people wary.

At the same time, a monstrous Spiritual Qi also erupted from within Qin Ding's body. Soul Power, Physical Body, and Spiritual Qi—all three powers were unleashed simultaneously at this moment.

The combination of the three meant that even the Blade Emperor, who had broken through to the Supreme Realm at the last minute, still couldn't gain the upper hand with his full-power blade light.

Thud!

Finally, everyone only saw Qin Ding being shaken back dozens of steps in the air.

The Blade Emperor, on the other hand, was directly thrown to the ground, leaving deep marks along the way.

Even though the Blade Emperor ultimately broke through to the Supreme Realm, he still ended up at a disadvantage.

“Is this the Saint's strength?” At this moment, not only the younger generation were fanatical about Qin Ding.

Even the backbone generation of the Qin Family began to develop a blind adoration for Qin Ding.

One must know that the people of the backbone generation had experienced many years and were not as hot-blooded and impulsive as the younger generation.

They were generally in a calm state, and for them to feel hot-blooded and have a blind adoration, they needed to receive great recognition and be given immense confidence.

Qin Ding's Peak battle in public today undoubtedly gave them confidence.

This also made Qin Ding's prestige among the Qin Family members reach an unprecedented level, which was also the purpose of Qin Wushuang's arrangement of this competition.

“As expected, he broke through the shackles and restraints.” Luan Kong Emperor also nodded.

In the conventional classification of Great Experts, legendary Great Expert was the limit.

But in the eyes of these people, there should be further divisions above legendary Great Expert.

They called the legendary Great Expert and that division 'breaking the shackles and restraints'.

The reason for this name was that the ultimate combat power of a Great Expert should be that of a legendary Divine Emperor.

Even a peerless Prodigy, upon reaching the Great Expert Realm, could only stop at the legendary Divine Emperor.

To break the combat power of a legendary Divine Emperor in the Great Expert Realm was to break the limits and the restraints of Heaven and Earth.

Those who could achieve this step were extremely few, but every person who achieved it had extremely high future accomplishments.

If they did not perish halfway, they would certainly become a future Emperor-level figure.

Not long after this battle, Qin Wushuang also said to Qin Ding, “For the next period, I may need to go into seclusion for a while.”

Seclusion?

Qin Ding thought of a possibility. Qin Wushuang had already reached the limit of the Saint Realm path. In fact, ordinary seclusion was meaningless, unless...

“It seems I should congratulate Father in advance.”

“Don't speak too soon, it's just a slight opportunity.” Qin Wushuang's tone also held some emotion.

Not long ago, he had indeed found a glimmer of an opportunity to break through to the Immortal Realm. This was also because of the arrival of the Golden Great Era and the changing Heaven and Earth environment, which allowed many people to find opportunities for Breakthrough.

After Qin Wushuang announced his seclusion, most of the Family's affairs were handed over to the Grand Elder.

Although the Grand Elder was not from Qin Wushuang's faction, he was impartial and would not causelessly trouble Qin Ding.

At this moment, Qin Ding called Qin Jianxin over.

“Jianxin, I need you to help me find someone.” Qin Ding said.

“May I ask who Young Master is looking for?” Qin Jianxin asked.

“Uh... I don't know his name.” Qin Ding only knew the name Feng Mo, but he really didn't know the name of the person he had Possessed.

“But I know what he looks like.”

Qin Wushuang also used his memory to conjure an image of Tian Lang.

“Tian Lang?”

Evidently, Qin Jianxin was quite knowledgeable about the Prodigy intelligence of the continent. As soon as Qin Ding conjured the image, she recognized him immediately.

“It seems you know his information.”

“In that case, tell me about this person first.”

As the saying goes, 'know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated'. Qin Ding still knew nothing about Tian Lang, so it was better to understand him beforehand.

Qin Jianxin began to speak slowly: “This person is named Tian Lang, and he is the Saint of Tiangang Gate. Previously, his reputation wasn't great, but during the last competition for the First Ray of Heavenly Mandate, he easily defeated several Top-Tier Dao Lineage successors in a row and also revealed his Divine-Grade Spiritual Vein, instantly becoming a prominent figure. If it weren't for the bigger stir you caused, Young Master, he would probably have been the focus of the First Ray of Heavenly Mandate competition.”
