On the empty field, Bai Yuan has been smashed into pieces by the Cauldron of Mountain and River. He turned into a puddle of blood and a pile of dust.

At once, the place silenced.

All eyes fixated onto Ling Xian. Without exception, they were full of awe and fear.

They had watched the battle from beginning to end. And since the beginning, Bai Yuan hadn’t been able to counter-attack and was easily defeated by Ling Xian.

No matter how much he tried, he couldn’t escape the Cauldron and was suppressed again and again. What did this indicate?

It indicated that because he couldn’t defend, he was weak?

In the entire world, out of every one of this generation, nobody dared to call Bai Yuan weak!

He was a top Heaven’s Favorite from Huang Zhou and was a rare genius. While he wasn’t the best out of his generation, he was part of the strongest group!

Yet before Ling Xian, he had no way to counter-attack. What did this mean? It meant Ling Xian’s capability has reached his peak and was good enough to be an original undefeatable!

If he had won after a couple hundred rebuttals against Bai Yuan, then at most, he was stronger, not undefeatable.

Yet he had fought against Bai Yuan until Bai Yuan couldn’t fight anymore. Only monsters who have reached the true peak of the original level can do this.

Therefore, despite everyone’s extraordinariness, they were scared.

“Who is this person? He has truly reached the peak of the original level!”

“What a powerful person. I think he can be compared against Le Wu Ya and Leng Bie Qing.”

“Yeah, now there is another scary one here at the competition. He has the right to fight for the winning title.”

“Aye, I wasn’t hopeful about winning. Now that there’s this guy, I truly have no hope.”

Everyone chimed in, their voices were full of astonishment.

“The peak of the original level. He truly is deserving of being called undefeatable.”

The Goddess of Battles softly sighed, a little amazed. Though she had lost once to Ling Xian, she didn’t feel like it was a true loss but merely that her physique was lacking.

But now, she had felt true pressure. An immense amount of pressure!

However, after only some time, the Goddess of Battles reverted back to normal. Her eyes shone with a desire to fight.

“Only so are you deserving to be my opponent. After my Qi transforms, I am going to fight you!”

“Master, you are so strong!”

Huang Jiu Ge was ecstatic. Other than admiration on her face, there was merely infatuation.

“It’s over. The anger I felt is finally gone.”

Looking at the disappearing puddle of blood, Ling Xian smiled and then shifted his gaze towards everyone, “Everyone, how come you are no longer attacking?”

“We have been stunned by your ways. You are comparable to Leng Bie Qing and Le Wu Xia.” A handsome man softly sighed.

“Comparable?”

Ling Xian smiled. He had reached the peak of the original level, similar to the other levels, this was considered the undefeatable realm.

Therefore, for him to be comparable to the strongest of his generation is correct.

“Alright everyone, let’s continue attacking. In case more and more people arrive.”

Ling Xian smiled softly before erasing this thought. The atmosphere suddenly got tense.

All because he had felt a wave of extremely powerful energy expanding from afar. This person isn’t at the same level as everyone else here. Or in other words, this person is on par with him.

Or you could say, another truly top Heaven’s Favorite is here!

“Interesting. It looks like there is going to be another battle.”

Ling Xian gazed into the sky and his eyes flickered with anticipation. Then, he slammed his fist forward in hope of breaking open the door to the core battleground.

At this, everyone made their moves. Having acquired Ling Xian’s help, the speed of which they did this increased.

After only some time, a giant hole had been created.

“Haha, finally, it’s open. Let’s go!”

A young man laughed hysterically and couldn’t wait to dash in. However, he suddenly froze, and began to spray blood!

At the same time, a terrifying killer’s intent arrived. Similar to the arrival of a monstrous devil, it generated a storm of blood!

This changed the color on everyone’s face.

Even for someone as strong as Ling Xian, he frowned and didn’t dare to be reckless.

“So it is the core battleground after all. Even after so much time has passed, the killer’s intent it possesses has not gone away,” Ling Xian exclaimed.

“Yes, after all, all those who died in there were powerful.” The Goddess of Battles had a stern expression. She didn’t dare to be reckless.

“No matter what, we have to go in. Let’s go,” Ling Xian said in a low voice. His gaze turned serious.

Even if everyone who’s died inside is a powerhouse from back then, there is nothing that can stop his desire to take the cosmic technique.

He marched forward in giant steps and walked into the core battleground. His gaze turned stern.

At this, Huang Jiu Ge followed closely like a shadow. She wasn’t going to leave him in her lifetime.

Immediately, killer’s intent exploded, threatening the two’s souls and wanting to rip them in shreds!

“Open!”

Ling Xian screamed. The enlivener from between his brows dashed out, turning into rainbow-colored light that formed a barrier for his soul to defend against the killer’s intent!

HOMMM!

The two forces clashed and a strong wave of energy broke out. Though it was shapeless, a soulful storm was created, changing the color on everyone’s faces!

“How powerful of a soul. It has already reached the peak of the original level!”

Everyone howled in surprise. They didn’t think that Ling Xian’s soul would be so extreme as well!

HOMMM!

The killer’s intent was shocking and his soul was proud. Ling Xian, along with the leftover killer’s intent from the powerhouses from before, began a different type of battle!

While shapeless, it was extremely dangerous. If not careful, someone may die!

Therefore, Ling Xian didn’t dare to be reckless. He used his original enlivener crazily, the rainbow-colored light continued to emit and explode into an even stronger wave of Qi!

At once, the shocking killer’s intent was destroyed by him. All the pressure he felt was lifted.

“Phew, such powerful killer’s intent.”

Ling Xian exhaled deeply and said, “All notable figures after all… after so many years, the remaining killer’s intent can still be so threatening…”

“But, master, you turned out to be stronger.” Huang Jiu Ge smiled brightly. She felt very safe to be with Ling Xian and was fearless against all.

“Alright, stop flattering me. We need to find what we came for.”

Ling Xian smiled and looked forward. His attention was attracted by a giant and strange-looking tri-colored flower.

The flower had three petals, in the colors of red, green, and blue. Every single petal was extremely large and was emitting much rhythmic energy. It was as if it contained all the laws revolving the universe, and as if one glance at it could send one flying.

However, this was a hallucination. The flower wasn’t real. It was merely an illusion.

Despite so, the strangeness of the flower snatched everyone’s attention.

Especially after a grand silhouette appeared in the center of the flower, everyone found it even harder to shift their gaze away.

Even Ling Xian was extremely attracted to it.

The silhouette was of a big man, whose back was turned towards everyone. He appeared to be above all nine levels of heaven and was impossible to decipher.

Then, the person spoke.

“Time flees and is irretrievable. In the blink of an eye, 7000 years has passed. Finally, someone has entered…”
