Just how terrifying the experts of the Spiritual Realm are can only be truly understood by those who have actually reached that level.
Four powerful auras collided violently in midair, and even the pressure from this clash forced experts below the Semi-Spiritual Realm to retreat several steps backward.
Even Yan Zheng and Ning Mo, who had barely stepped into the Semi-Spiritual Realm, furrowed their brows under the immense pressure. However, both of them soon noticed Cheng Ying and Yu Xuan, who seemed completely unaffected by the overwhelming force.
“Are you sure that this little princess of the Qing Ling clan hasn’t received her inheritance yet?”
He let out a bitter smile, recalling what had happened outside the stone chamber that day. The way he looked at Cheng Ying now carried a hint of reverence.
With a mere flip of her hand, she had slain an expert from the Hun Ling clan who had reached the Semi-Spiritual Realm. That was why the Qian Ling and Gu Ling clans decided to leave the Xue Ling and Hun Ling members behind—they didn’t have to expend much effort at all.
All of this was thanks to this woman. If not for privacy concerns, Yan Zheng would have liked to ask Cheng Ying directly just how strong she had become. If she had already reached the Spiritual Realm without receiving any inheritance, how terrifying would she be?
“I think… she hasn’t yet?”
Ning Mo hesitated slightly, shaking his head uncertainly. From beginning to end, this woman had never revealed her true strength. Could someone really reach such a level without having received an inheritance?
After all, both Ning Qian and Yan Luo had already accepted the inheritances of the Qian Ling and Gu Ling clans. Although these inheritances weren’t as powerful as that of the Qian Ling clan, they had still elevated both men to the peak of their powers.
“Forget it, maybe we shouldn’t depress ourselves further. Perhaps only your older brother’s talent could rival hers!”
Yan Zheng shrugged helplessly, glancing at Cheng Ying’s delicate and fair profile before turning his gaze back to the battlefield. In his eyes, whether it was the little princess of the Qing Ling clan or that woman from Tian Du Pavilion, both possessed talents that far surpassed their own.
The battle among the four figures in the air was gradually reaching its climax, particularly intense between Ning Qian and Yu Ya.
Both fighters were nearly at the middle stage of the Spiritual Realm, slightly stronger than Yan Luo and the expert from the Hun Ling clan. Their confrontation could truly be called a battle for kingship—one who emerged victorious would be recognized as the true king among the younger generation of the Hidden Martial World!
“What? Already losing your patience and ready to use your ultimate move?”
Although their initial exchanges had been somewhat restrained, they had still consumed considerable energy. As Yu Ya’s aura grew increasingly dense, Ning Qian’s expression also turned serious. Yu Ya was preparing to end the fight in a single decisive strike.
“Hmph, I don’t have time to play around with you. Let me show you the inheritance of the Yin Yang Sect!”
As soon as those words left his mouth, the entire battlefield suddenly froze, and the air turned sharply cold. The inheritance of the Yin Yang Sect was naturally inclined toward coldness, and under this oppressive atmosphere, Yu Ya looked like a god of death.
“Yin Yang Art—Annihilation!”
The words fell one by one from Yu Ya’s lips, sending chills down everyone’s spines. Ning Qian, standing closest to him, could feel the icy force most acutely.
Ning Qian knew that if he allowed Yu Ya’s attack to land, he would surely suffer serious injuries. After all, the inheritance of the Yin Yang Sect was no joke—it was a true ancient martial art passed down from the previous martial era. However, not daring to take the hit didn’t mean Ning Qian had no way to retreat. If Yu Ya had received the inheritance of the Yin Yang Sect, hadn’t he also obtained something from that mysterious place?
The answer was yes. Ning Qian had indeed received an inheritance from the mysterious location—one that could rival the Yin Yang Sect’s.
“Xuan Yuan Defense!”
A massive light shield suddenly appeared before Ning Qian, completely blocking Yu Ya’s attack. This was the ultimate defensive technique of the Xuan Yuan Sect—an ancient martial art so powerful that even an expert at the Heaven Spirit Realm might struggle to break through it.
“You’ve received the inheritance of the Xuan Yuan Sect? No wonder your progress has been so rapid!”
Yu Ya looked at the massive shield with astonishment, realization dawning on him as he murmured in shock.
“Did you really think only you could inherit the Yin Yang Sect? Don’t forget, in the last martial era, the Yin Yang Sect and the Xuan Yuan Sect were bitter enemies. Let’s settle this once and for all!”
At this moment, Ning Qian was brimming with confidence. Although many had received inheritances from the mysterious place, only a few sects like the Yu Long Sect and the Xuan Yuan Sect had such powerful legacies. Obtaining one wasn’t just a matter of luck—it was also a testament to one’s strength.
The two of them plunged once more into an intense battle. Meanwhile, Yan Luo and the expert from the Hun Ling clan were also giving their all. Whoever emerged victorious first in either battlefield would determine the overall outcome, as two Spiritual Realm experts together would have an absolute advantage over a single opponent.
Guo Chen observed the battle carefully from the crowd, his eyes narrowing slightly.
His blood-red pupils gleamed strangely as his entire body seemed to be enveloped in a crimson aura. The pressure radiating from the four fighters continuously stimulated his body, causing the bottleneck of his Semi-Spiritual Realm to loosen.
At this moment, he had quietly broken through to the Spiritual Realm!
As Guo Chen ascended to the Spiritual Realm, his body began to undergo transformations. The Blood Insect (blood蛊) that had been nurtured within him stirred restlessly.
“Kid, what exactly are you trying to do? Have you lost your mind? Don’t use the power of the blood蛊!”
Suddenly, an angry voice echoed in his mind. If Xiao Yufan had been here to hear it, he would surely have gasped in shock—it was the voice of Xue Hanzi.
“Stepping into the Spiritual Realm, I’m ready to completely devour you. There shouldn’t be too many side effects now!”
A cold, sinister voice echoed in his mind. Recalling how Xue Hanzi had once attempted to consume him, only to be devoured instead by the blood蛊 within his body, Guo Chen’s lips curled into a chilling smile.
Now that he had entered the Spiritual Realm, his goal was clear—to completely consume Xue Hanzi and all the energy he carried. Only then would he become the strongest among the younger generation.
From the very beginning, Xue Hanzi had never regarded Guo Chen as a disciple, but merely as a vessel for cultivating the blood蛊. Therefore, Guo Chen harbored only hatred toward Xue Hanzi. Only after this man was utterly destroyed would Guo Chen find peace.
Thus, Guo Chen had already condemned Xue Hanzi to total destruction. With the blood蛊 inside him, completely devouring Xue Hanzi would not be difficult. Furthermore, within that glowing orb at the Yu Long Sect, he had also acquired a soul-softening technique. With this to aid him, Guo Chen was confident that everything would proceed smoothly…
