Chapter 292 - Killing a Fourth-Level True Core Realm

Right then, a palm engulfed in demonic flame flew out from the net and clashed with the golden Buddha.

Blazing flames enveloped the sky with explosions, reducing a few hundred meters of radius into a sea of fire. Seeing the two in the arena through the flame was impossible, and everyone had to wait for the flame to dissipate.

The shock on the faces of the ten envoys had yet to dissipate. Crafting a net with spiritual runes was a feat beyond their capabilities, yet Liu Wuxie effortlessly achieved it before their eyes.

The golden Buddha began to explode, and golden radiance spread out, forming powerful shockwaves that sent the nearby people flying.

“What power! Do you think Liu Wuxie can survive?” Everyone in the surroundings began to discuss among themselves. If someone in the fourth level of the True Core Realm was so strong, what about the Heavenly Dipper Realm? Wouldn’t that mean they could kill cultivators in the True Core Realm with a flick of the hand?

“That’s highly unlikely. After all, Gong Gaomiao is in the fourth level of the True Core Realm!” The Black Chu Empire’s prodigies sneered. Ye Feng was their strongest, and Gong Gaomiao was second.

Violent shockwaves continued to sweep out, and the battles in the other arenas had ended.

Thunderclouds rumbled in the sky and dispersed the flames in the arena, revealing Liu Wuxie and Gong Gaomiao. The golden Buddha and spiritual runes had all disappeared.

Liu Wuxie vanished with the Heretic Blade, charging towards Gong Gaomiao. Who would’ve expected Liu Wuxie to still have the strength to follow up an attack after executing such a powerful move? This had overturned everyone’s understanding.

“What a monster! His true essence remains abundant even after inscribing so many spiritual runes!” Xi Jian couldn’t describe his current feelings. If he were in Liu Wuxie’s position, he would’ve exhausted at least half his true essence to inscribe so many spiritual runes.

To a certain degree, the density of Liu Wuxie’s true essence wasn’t any weaker than that of someone in the first level of the Heavenly Dipper Realm.

The difference in cultivation couldn’t be compensated with true essence. As one progressed in cultivation, it became increasingly difficult to challenge someone with a higher cultivation. Fighting someone in the fifth level of the True Core Realm should be Liu Wuxie’s limit.

“What kind of dantian does he have? He already showed multiple attributes in his true essence, and ordinary people can’t accomplish it.” Song Junbao suppressed the shock on his face with a bitter smile. They hailed from noble backgrounds and had encountered numerous geniuses, yet Liu Wuxie's presence utterly reshaped their perception of ‘genius’.

“Have you all taken a look at his dantian? It felt like something was blocking our divine sense from penetrating.” Guo Hanfei tried to examine Liu Wuxie’s dantian with his divine sense multiple times, but he failed every time.

“I have never seen such a bizarre dantian before. His dantian is unbelievably large, like a complete world with its crystal barrier.” Dugu Yang nodded, agreeing with Guo Hanfei’s words.

Liu Wuxie appeared within three meters of Gong Gaomiao in the blink of an eye. He might meet his end under Liu Wuxie’s blade if he didn't respond.

Liu Wuxie wasn’t relying on his cultivation but his fighting instinct. When the shockwaves dissipated, Gong Gaomiao was still recovering his true essence, and this was the perfect moment for Liu Wuxie to act.

“Senior Brother Gong, dodge!” The Black Chu Empire’s prodigies yelled because Liu Wuxie’s blade had already reached him. If he couldn’t evade in time, only death would await Gong Gaomiao.

“Damn it, why is Senior Brother Gong just standing there?” The other empires’ prodigies couldn’t comprehend the situation. Could it be that Liu Wuxie employed some sort of witchcraft?

Ye Feng’s face was grim, and he instantly noticed the changes in the arena. They might have seemed evenly matched during the earlier clash, but they knew that Liu Wuxie’s attainment of spiritual runes had surpassed Gong Gaomiao. The latter might have won if he could’ve suppressed Liu Wuxie’s spiritual runes right from the start.

The initiative was crucial in an intense combat between experts, and Gong Gaomiao had underestimated his opponent. If Gong Gaomiao had unleashed a barrage of attacks right from the beginning, he might still have had a chance at winning.

A hint of fear flashed across Gong Gaomiao’s eyes, and the Heretic Blade had already penetrated his skin, with death approaching. As he practiced the Thousand Hands Buddha Palm, he rarely used weapons, and he could only retreat in an attempt to evade.

“Too slow!” Gong Gaomiao reacted a little too late and the Heretic Blade had locked onto him.

“Liu Wuxie, I’ll take you down with me even if I die!” Gong Gaomiao realized he couldn’t dodge Liu Wuxie’s blade and could only go all out, opening his arms wide at Liu Wuxie’s waist.

The hearts of everyone from the Black Chu Empire were clenched. Liu Wuxie was the first to force Gong Gaomiao to such an extent.

Fan Zhen looked nervous, with his fists clenched in the distance, wishing he could join the fight.

Qin Lei and others were shocked with their mouths open. They knew that Liu Wuxie was strong but had never witnessed his strength before.

After all, those that Liu Wuxie had killed so far weren’t strong, like the Sky Mansion Dynasty’s and Heavenly Fragrance Dynasty’s experts. Thus, the visual impact wasn’t that significant.

“Die!” A cold voice came from Liu Wuxie. He divided himself into three and disappeared. He then appeared on Gong Gaomiao’s sides and back.

Gong Gaomiao failed to grab Liu Wuxie by his waist and nearly fell into the ruins. But in the next moment, the Heretic Blade locked onto his neck.

When the Heretic Blade flew past, a head flew into the air. Shortly after, Gong Gaomiao’s body began to wither. He was a cultivator in the fourth level of the True Core Realm, and Liu Wuxie didn’t want to let this opportunity go. He secretly absorbed the energies from Gong Gaomiao’s body, pushing his cultivation closer to the third level.

"See, his true essence is poisonous!" To prevent stirring up a commotion, Liu Wuxie utilized the poison in his true essence to mask the absorption of Gong Gaomiao's energies. Consequently, it appeared outwardly as though Gong Gaomiao's body was being corroded by poison.

However, in reality, the poison in Liu Wuxie’s true essence wasn’t enough to poison a cultivator in the fourth level of the True Core Realm. He used it to deceive the ten envoys.

The battle ended with Gong Gaomiao dead, and he didn’t even have a complete corpse left aside from his head.

Liu Wuxie retained Gong Gaomiao’s interspatial pouch out of urgent necessity for resources. Recognizing the challenges he would face upon entering the cultivation world, he understood the importance of accumulating resources to weather the difficulties ahead.

Sheathing the Heretic Blade, Liu Wuxie walked out from the ruins, ignoring the murderous intent of the Black Chu Empire’s party.

After he left, someone came forth to clean up the arena and restore it to its original state.

“Liu Wuxie, you have some guts to kill a prodigy of my Black Chu Empire!” The Black Chu Empire’s party came over and stood before Liu Wuxie.

Liu Wuxie squinted and released a powerful murderous intent from his body.

“You all want to come at me together?” Liu Wuxie said with a hint of disdain. Even with Ye Feng, killing him wouldn’t be easy.

Ye Feng slowly walked over and stood five steps away from Liu Wuxie, but he did not show any anger.

“All of you, go back!” He roared, making everyone from the Black Chu Empire step back and look at Ye Feng with confusion. After all, Liu Wuxie had just killed Gong Gaomiao.

“Senior Brother Ye, we can’t let him off!” A prodigy in the third level of the True Core Realm stomped his foot furiously. If they allowed Liu Wuxie to leave alive, it would significantly humiliate the Black Chu Empire.

“I will personally kill him! All of you back down! Since when did our Black Chu Empire resort to outnumbering our enemy?” Ye Feng said, genuinely furious this time. No one dared to defy him and backed off.

Before they backed down, they gave Liu Wuxie a ferocious glare.

With Liu Wuxie and Ye Feng remaining, the two merely looked at each other quietly without exchanging words.

Liu Wuxie narrowed his eyes because he sensed powerful pressure from Ye Feng. His instincts told him that Ye Feng was incredibly powerful and on a whole new level compared to Gong Gaomiao. The two weren’t on the same level, and Ye Feng didn’t look as simple as he looked.

“There will be a battle between us sooner or later. I hope you can stay alive till then!” Ye Feng said, his gaze compelling. This was a sign he had practiced a powerful soul technique.

“Likewise!” Liu Wuxie said and left. There was no need for further conversation because the outcome would be determined in the arena.

Liu Wuxie returned to his designated area and seated himself, patiently awaiting the conclusion of the round. With the top ten positions to be decided that day, Liu Wuxie was determined not to relinquish the enticing rewards that awaited the victors.

The intensity of the battle died down because everyone had already obtained a ticket into the cultivation world. Thus, they did not need to fight with their lives on the line, and the rewards didn’t matter to most.

Four hours later, the top fifty were determined, and only forty-four managed to be promoted to the next round.

Gong Gaomiao was killed, and several people suffered heavy exhaustion and injuries. To prevent leaving behind hidden injuries, some decided to give up competing for the top twenty.

After resting for an hour, all forty-four people stood up to continue drawing lots.

When Liu Wuxie stood before the box, he glanced at Jiang Kaicheng and smirked. He reached into the box and took a number plate with ‘10’ written on it. This meant he was still in the first batch. He didn’t care who his opponent was and headed to the tenth arena.

“Spirit Tiger Dynasty’s Lu Hongzhi. I pay my greetings, Brother Liu!” Someone bowed in the tenth arena when Liu Wuxie went up.

“Likewise!” Liu Wuxie exchanged perfunctory formalities, but it was weird that Lu Hongzhi showed no signs of acting despite being in the third level of the True Core Realm.

“Brother Liu, I know I’m not your match. We don't need to fight; save your true essence!” Lu Hongzhi said, wearing a flattering expression.

“Stop beating around the bush!” Liu Wuxie said with impatience on his face. Since Lu Hongzhi wasn’t willing to fight, he could admit defeat and not waste time chattering in the arena.

“I happen to have a question bothering me, and I hope Brother Liu can help me with it.” Lu Hongzhi was polite in his tone.

“Speak!” Liu Wuxie wouldn't mind answering as long as it didn’t involve any secrets. Aside from the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron, he had nothing to hide.
