Chapter 287: Why Is Divine Firmament Saint So Big?
Chapter 287: Why Is Divine Firmament Saint So Big?
Has he finally appeared?
Qi Shaoxuan could feel ardor and zeal coursing through his blood as he looked at the man who stood on the platform proudly.
It was him, the man that had nearly made him lose his “heart of invincibility”.
He has the ability to fight with me, but he just had to use his seniority to suppress me.
Now that I finally have a chance to have a fair fight with you on the God of War platform let’s see who the strongest prodigy in Eastern Wilderness is!
Qi Shaoxuan held onto his Heaven’s Halberd tightly, and he could even feel his palms sweating, which was rare.
“Divine Firmament Saint, please enlighten me through this battle.”
The projection opposite Qi Shaoxuan also cupped his fists. He was smiling and looked particularly kind.
However, just after they bowed to each other, and once the avatars behind Shen Tian were withdrawn, he instantly became unfathomable.
Fog was emitted from within his body and instantly spread throughout the platform.
As the fog covered the whole platform, Shen Tian also disappeared within the fog.
Even those cultivators viewing the livestream battle could not see where Shen Tian was.
The platform may be 1,000 feet in size, but normal cultivators would not even be able to see further than 10 meters when they were within the spirit fog.
At that moment, the platform was completely silent as everyone paid attention to Qi Shaoxuan. They wanted to see if this new Six-Star Prodigy could see through Shen Tian’s concealment.
“Is it camouflage? Too bad it’s useless against me.”
Qi Shaoxuan snorted, and the purple Pure Heavenly Eye between his brows suddenly opened.
In that instant, he held the Heaven’s Halberd, and his Pure Heavenly Eye scanned the whole platform.
The eye’s mighty ability enabled it to see through everything.
“I’ve discovered you!”
Qi Shaoxuan sneered and vigorously swung his Heaven’s Halberd to pierce behind him.
Boom!
A huge purple hammer heavily smashed onto the Heaven’s Halberd, and the fearsome collision impact wave instantly surged through the whole platform.
The platform underneath Qi Shaoxuan instantly broke apart, and half of his lower leg was planted deep in the platform. The cracks spread like a spider web.
That’s right, Shen Tian had appeared behind Qi Shaoxuan to attack just now, but he did not succeed.
Qi Shaoxuan’s Pure Heavenly Eye could see through all concealment, which made the spirit fog useless.
“Such extraordinary strength, but it’s a pity it’s not enough!”
Roar!
A dragon roar echoed, and the Heaven’s Halberd in Qi Shaoxuan seemed to have been revived. A humongous black dragon appeared from within Heaven’s Halberd and crawled up the Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer, pouncing toward Shen Tian.
Qi Shaoxuan’s expression seemed solemn as he knew that his Pure Heavenly Eye could not see through the spirit fog completely.
The spirit fog was extremely strange, so even Qi Shaoxuan’s Pure Heavenly Eye was unable to ignore its effects completely.
It was fortunate that the God of War platform was not too huge, or else it would be troublesome!
“Dragon Claw!”
Roar!
A similar dragon’s roar echoed, and it released a dragon aura that did not lose to Qi Shaoxuan at all.
Shen Tian put away his Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer and suddenly punched out his right fist vigorously. The golden lightning instantly turned into a divine dragon and pounced toward that black dragon.
A black and gold dragon fought in the air, and they were actually neck to neck.
“As expected from the enemy I recognized. You’re indeed strong!”
Qi Shaoxuan’s eyes started burning with passion. He felt a different kind of pleasure from Shen Tian.
He had not experienced such pleasure when fighting with anyone in the past, not Bodhisattva Kuduo nor Fang Chang.
It was a sense of satisfaction from finally meeting his match and battling to his heart’s content. Words could not describe it.
“Although you’ve signed a Dragon God contract with Ao Bing, the strongest Dragon God contract in this generation can only be me!”
Qi Shaoxuan put away his Heaven’s Halberd and the Pure Heavenly Eye between his brows instantly shone brightly and attacked Shen Tian after forming a ball of purple whirlwind.
Sky Dragon Dive!
Around The Four Seas!
Yellow Dragon Attack!
Dragon Incineration!
The Pure Heavenly Eye was peerless!
Qi Shaoxuan only focused on attacking Shen Tian’s projection with full force and did not guard at all.
In an instant, the whole platform was covered by a surging purple dragon, and the deafening dragon roars made countless people to be struck with terror.
The audience could only vaguely see a golden figure and purple figure that continued exchanging blows through the thick spirit fog.
As for the details, they were unable to see clearly. They could witness such a scene only because the Pagoda Spirit had especially weakened the spirit fog’s concealment effects.
If not, they would only see only white fog, unable to hear or see anything else.
“This battle is really leaving us in suspense! If only I could see the battle between the two Saints clearly.”
“Everyone says that the Divine Firmament Saint had slain the Fog Plain’s Sage-level demon. Is it possible that he obtained this mighty spirit-fog ability from that Sage demon?”
“If his opponent was not the Purple Mansion Saint, then wouldn’t the Divine Firmament Saint’s opponent be at his mercy without the Purple Mansion Saint’s Pure Heavenly Eye?”
“Looks like the Divine Firmament Saint’s killing move is countered by the Purple Mansion Saint. This battle is going to be dangerous for him.”
“Such a joke! You only know that the spirit fog is the Divine Firmament Saint’s killing move, but do you know how many killing moves he actually has?”
“That’s right. Just a Purple Mansion Saint is not deserving to fight with Senior Brother Saint! Senior Brother is a prodigy recognized by the God of War Pagoda!”
“Divine Firmament Saint, do your best and beat that ugly Purple Mansion Saint! All the female disciples, Senior and Junior Sisters, are all supporting you!”
“The Purple Mansion Saint is good-looking and has impressive temperament. You’re going too far by calling him ugly!”
“I don’t care. Compared to the Divine Firmament Saint, he’s ugly!”
...
Boom!
Heated discussions covered the screen, while the battle situation on the God of War platform gradually changed.
The spirit fog which originally enshrouded the whole platform had slowly dispersed. Then, Shen Tian and Qi Shaoxuan appeared before everyone.
Shen Tian was wearing armor formed from Mixed Divine Lightning. Golden lightning flashed on the armor brightly, and ten divine beast avatars appeared behind Shen Tian.
The purple aura behind Qi Shaoxuan had dyed half of the platform purple as if a god had descended.
“I acknowledge that you’re powerful, but as compared to me, your foundation is lacking!”
Qi Shaoxuan’s hair flew in the wind, and his purple aura started to be rapidly compressed, forming a purple armor.
This was the forbidden chapter of the Purple Mansion Imperial Sutra—Purple Aura 30,000 Miles From The East!
After unleashing the forbidden technique, Qi Shaoxuan became much more imposing.
He became one with his Heaven’s Halberd and slashed at Shen Tian with full force.
In that instant, his Heaven’s Halberd emitted light that pierced 1,000 feet away, slashing at Shen Tian’s head after traveling more than half of the platform.
Even space was being destroyed under his Heaven’s Halberd’s sharpness.
The strike was nothing mysterious, but it contained the purple aura’s mighty force, blocking Shen Tian’s escape routes.
When facing such an attack, Shen Tian had no other choice but to block it head-on.
“Rainbow Divine Light, activate!”
The brilliant golden Divine Lightning disappeared, and what replaced it was Divine Light that shone with rainbow colors, which gradually formed a light barrier to protect Shen Tian’s head.
The Heaven’s Halberd smashed onto the Rainbow Divine Light at full force and instantly smashed the whole light barrier into the ground. Dust and debris flew in all directions.
Crack!
An extremely glaring crack appeared on the Rainbow Divine Light Barrier.
“I never expected for you to also have learned the Peacock race’s Rainbow Divine Light Arts besides learning the True Dragon Imperial Sutra.”
Even a talented prodigy like Qi Shaoxuan could not help but be astonished now. After all, the Rainbow Divine Light Arts were the secret techniques that the Peacock race would not teach to outsiders.
Since Shen Tian was able to use Rainbow Divine Light, did that mean he also had quite a deep relationship with the Peacock race?
After associating it to the Southern Border’s strongest prodigy, Kong Meng, who was on the God Of War Rookie List, Qi Shaoxuan could not help but wonder whether the Southern Border’s Peacock race had also chosen Shen Tian as their human partner.
He’s not only a Dragon Knight but also a Peacock Knight?
Damn it, damn it!
Qi Shaoxuan acknowledged that he was jealous. As the strongest prodigy in the Eastern Wilderness, he had only signed the contract with a male Dragon.
Just what capabilities does he have to be able to do that? Not only did he sign the Dragon God contract with Ao Bing, but even that female Peacock took a liking to him!?
Is it really that amazing to be handsome?
I am good-looking too! Why don’t I receive such treatment!?
“So what if you’ve learned the Rainbow Divine Light? Absolute strength is the most important. I’ll break through your Divine Light!
“I, Qi Shaoxuan, am the true Son of Providence in Eastern Wilderness!”
Just as he finished, a Golden Core surrounded by 10 resplendent Divine Emblems gradually rose from Qi Shaoxuan’s head.
As Qi Shaoxuan brought out his 10th Refinement Golden Core, the aura he emitted became more and more powerful. He shook the Heaven’s Halberd in his hands, and blood patterns started spreading.
It was as if it was a black dragon in slumber and waiting to be resuscitated through bloodline.
He had completely given up on defending and wanted to defeat Shen Tian in one strike!
Crack!
The crack on the Rainbow Divine Light started spreading rapidly, and the whole Rainbow Divine Light Barrier was about to be broken.
At that moment, Shen Tian, within his Rainbow Divine Light Barrier, formed hand seals, and a huge Golden Core slowly rose.
At this point, a surging and vast nomological force was formed.
Qi Shaoxuan was stunned. It was not because of how powerful the Golden Core but because... it was just too big!
Almost all the cultivators’ Golden Cores were the size of a longan, and Qi Shaoxuan was no exception. It’s just that he had 10 Divine Emblems.
However, just why was Divine Firmament Saint’s Golden Core so huge?
It did not even have one Divine Emblem, but it was tens of times larger than Qi Shaoxuan’s! Just why!?
Was it possible that Ao Bing and Kong Meng had taken a liking to Shen Tian because he was bigger than ordinary people?
Looking at the Golden Core floating above Shen Tian, Qi Shaoxuan felt as if... the Divine Emblems on his Golden Core were not as impressive as Shen Tian’s.
He did not know how Shen Tian’s Golden Core became this big as it was simply unprecedented and unheard of!
If just considering the rarity, Shen Tian’s Golden Core completely defeated Qi Shaoxuan.
Qi Shaoxuan was being envious as he looked at the huge Golden Core!
However, he instinctively gathered his purple aura as he sensed danger.
It was a pity that it was already too late. The thin purple aura he had hurriedly gathered was not able to provide even protection and was instantly penetrated.
Two vines that were as crystal clear as a jade shot appeared from the ground and directly climbed up Qi Shaoxuan’s leg, instantly binding the lower half of Qi Shaoxuan’s body tightly.
Spikes grew out from the vines and pierced into Qi Shaoxuan, which made him instantly felt paralyzed.
There’s poison in the vines!
Just as Qi Shaoxuan wanted to swing his Heaven’s Halberd to slice through the Divine Devouring Vine, Shen Tian had already dashed toward him. He smashed the Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer that had grown larger by 10 times toward Qi Shaoxuan vigorously.
Boom!
Qi Shaoxuan hurriedly used his Heaven’s Halberd to block, but only a loud bang could be heard, and half of his body was directly smashed into the ground.
At the same time, the Divine Devouring Vines also started to spread and tied Qi Shaoxuan until he was like a huge rice dumpling.
Shen Tian smashed his hammer the second time, and it directly landed on Qi Shaoxuan’s head.
Bang! A blurred mosaic appeared on the God of War platform as the scene was just too bloody~
...
Qi Shaoxuan’s figure appeared on the God of War platform slowly.
He knew what this represented—he had been defeated and at the hands of the Divine Firmament Saint.
However, Qi Shaoxuan could not accept his defeat as he felt that it was not because of the difference in their strength but because he had let his guard down.
When the battle just began, he was well-matched with Shen Tian, and he was even slightly in the advantage. He had quite the high chance to win.
However, he was overly anxious to win, so he had let his guard down when having a well-matched heated battle.
Especially when Shen Tian had used his Rainbow Divine Light and huge Golden Core, his thoughts had actually wandered off.
Being distracted in a battle was really something that could not be forgiven!
If not so, even if Shen Tian’s Divine Devouring Vine was difficult to deal with, it would not be able to defeat Qi Shaoxuan with that alone.
In the end, it’s because Qi Shaoxuan had not unleashed the full potential of his strength!
He could definitely win if they fought again!
Meanwhile, it could be seen on the screen surrounding the God of War platform that the spectators were having heated discussions.
“OMG, it was just too marvelous! That’s definitely the top battle between prodigies. It’s just a pity that it ended too fast.”
“That’s right, the Divine Firmament Saint and Purple Mansion Saint are both very strong. But in comparison, the Divine Firmament Saint is still stronger.”
“Their battle prowess is neck and neck, but it was obvious that the Purple Mansion Saint had been completely defeated in regards to battling strategies! If this was a life or death battle, the Purple Mansion Saint would have died already.”
“Don’t forget that the Purple Mansion Saint was only battling with a projection of the Divine Firmament Saint. It does not have a brain.”
“Tssss, even a brainless projection could win using battle strategies? I suspect that you’re mocking the Purple Mansion Saint.”
“However, the Divine Firmament Saint’s current strength should be six stars only. He’s just slightly stronger than the Purple Mansion Saint.”
“If only we could see another battle between the Purple Mansion Saint and Divine Firmament Saint. If the Purple Mansion Saint does not make a mistake, then I believe that the battle between the two of them will be even more exciting.”
“I am an admirer of the Purple Mansion Saint. I can’t believe that he was defeated! Pagoda Spirit, I beg you to let the Purple Mansion Saint and Divine Firmament Saint have another battle!”
“I’m also an admirer of the Purple Mansion Saint. The Purple Mansion Saint had always been invincible, so how could he be defeated? I don’t believe it!”
“Pagoda Spirit, please give the Purple Mansion Saint another chance to challenge the Divine Firmament Saint. Let him have a fair fight!”
“+1”
“+1”
“+1”
“+10,086”
...
Qi Shaoxuan felt uncomfortable as he looked at the screen around the God of War platform, which was filled with comments that were feeling sorry for him.
He had actually wasted such a rare chance to compete with the Divine Firmament Saint!
This time, he must have disappointed his admirers!
Damn it! I am the Purple Mansion Saint, and I bear the pride of the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground!
I can be defeated, but I definitely cannot let the sacred ground suffer humiliation because of me!
He clenched the Heaven’s Halberd in his hands.
“Pagoda Spirit, could I fight with the Divine Firmament Saint again?”
The Pagoda Spirit’s gentle voice sounded. “Purple Mansion Saint, please do not make things difficult for me. You should know that I’ve already endured a lot of pressure to make an exception for you to livestream your battle with the Divine Firmament Saint.”
Qi Shaoxuan went silent. It was as if he was conflicted.
After a long while, he took a deep breath. “I am willing to bet another 30,000 God of War points to livestream a fair fight with the Divine Firmament Saint!”
The Pagoda Spirit sighed and replied, “Purple Mansion Saint, this is not a problem of how many God of War points you will spend. I will be extremely pressured if you’re matched with the Divine Firmament Saint consecutively two times in a row.”
Qi Shaoxuan’s eyes turned slightly red. “50,000! 50,000 God of War points is my limit! As long as you let me fight with him again!”
The conversation between the two of them was through divine consciousness, so no one could hear them.
The Pagoda Spirit went silent.
Although the whole platform was quiet, the screen surrounding the God of War platform was filled with comments that were “begging” the God of War Pagoda to give Qi Shaoxuan another chance.
Of course, only Ye Qingcang knew whether the comments on the screen were true or fake.
After a long while, the Pagoda Spirit’s resigned voice echoed again. “Alright, seeing that there’s so much mone— so many from the audience have sincerely petitioned for you, I shall give you another chance.
“However, you have to seize the opportunity. Do not be defeated because of your careless mistake anymore. Otherwise, it will be too late to regret.”
Qi Shaoxuan was moved to tears. “Thank you for understanding, Pagoda Spirit. I am extremely grateful!”
The Pagoda Spirit continued coldly, “Exchange for God of War points.”
,000 God of War points was equal to 50,000 Spirit Crystals, which was worth 500,000,000 Spirit Stones. It was definitely an enormous fortune that could even buy an inferior-grade Divine artifact.
That was under the precondition that someone was willing to sell. They would normally use high-grade Spirit Essence as money.
Qi Shaoxuan gritted his teeth and took out a crystal clear jade talisman. “This is the Death Substitution Talisman. It can save the life of a cultivator beneath the Soul Formation stage.
“After receiving a fatal blow, it will burn and be sacrificed in place of the person. Then, it will randomly teleport the owner of this jade 10,000 miles away.
“Taking into account its worth, it would not be lower than a normal Divine artifact, so could it be used to exchange for 50,000 God of War points?”
The old man on the seventh floor of the God of War Pagoda was full of smiles.
He never thought that Qi Shaoxuan actually had such luck to even be able to find an item as rare as the Death Substitution Talisman.
One had to know that even in the Celestial World, such a special death substitution Dharma treasure like the Death Substitution Talisman was also very precious and valuable. It’s mainly because the materials to make it were extremely rare to obtain.
Once a precious life-saving jade that could be made into Death Substitution Talisman appeared, even Golden Immortal would gun for it like a flock of ducks.
Ye Qingcang took a close look at the jade talisman in Qi Shaoxuan’s hand and exclaimed, “Such a rare precious life-saving jade was actually made into just this?
“It’s really wantonly wasting such a precious jade. If I reforge it, its value can increase at least 100 times.
“Tian’er, ah Tian’er, you’re really my lucky star!”
...
On the God of War platform, the Pagoda Spirit’s voice sounded. “It’ll do.”
The Death Substitution Talisman gradually disappeared from Qi Shaoxuan’s hand. It was obvious that he was already regretting his decision.
It was the only supreme treasure he had found in a Spirit Ore Garden, and he only had one himself too.
If it was not for him considering that he could easily break through to the Soul Formation stage and above with his talent, Qi Shaoxuan would not have born to take it out at all. After all, it was almost equivalent to a second life for cultivators below the Soul Formation stage. It was just too precious!
As the Death Substitution Talisman was taken away, a radiant golden light appeared on the God of War platform once again.
A familiar presence appeared on the platform again, and the popcorn-eating crowd in the spectator area was also completely stirred up.
Damn!
Is it really true? Really?
The Purple Mansion Saint Qi Shaoxuan had been matched with Divine Firmament Saint again?
Just what kind of astonishing coincidence is this? Is it possible that we can watch a top-level battle between the two Saints again?
This ticket is really worth its price!
