“Your Servant Lu Xuanjing, disciple of the Three Thousand Sword Ocean, pays respects to the Qilin Martial Emperor.” The magnificent-looking young man deferentially saluted in the direction of the throne above.
When he announced his name, he made the seated cultivators all let out astonished gasps.
The Three Thousand Sword Ocean was one of Star World’s Ten Great Sects. Their sword chant arts were extremely superb. In particular, there were many formidable Star Generals guarding the sect. Some disciples even cultivated Star Weapon Sword Arts to contend against Star Generals. Among the Ten Great Sects, to be able to join the Three Thousand Sword Ocean was the wish that many Scattered Cultivators yearned for day and night.
Lu Xuanjing was one of the Three Thousand Sword Ocean’s Ten Great Disciples, whose future prospects were boundless. That he would come participate in the highly dangerous Yuanshou and even become Zhang Anshi’s favorite Qilin Cub also surpassed everyone’s expectations.
“An Earthly Immortal like you dares to take advantage of a Star General. Today, Your Servant shall teach you a harsh lesson.” Lu Xuanjing arrogantly stared at Chen Mo.
As one of the Three Thousand Sword Ocean’s Ten Great Disciples, regardless of background or Realm, he was above his opponent. But this bastard actually dared to step up and speak with the Martial Emperor, making Lu Xuanjing suddenly feel jealousy.
“Three Thousand Sword Ocean!” Chen Mo recalled Jiang Yuanyu had that whatever Senior Brother Luo Changqing, who was apparently also one of the Ten Great Disciples. Back then, he had traded blows with Luo Changqing. At the time, his opponent brought him pressure while being only Human Immortal. There was apparently some novelty with them compared to other sects.
Now, Chen Mo was basically fearless. Even if one of the Three Thousand Sword Ocean’s guardian Star Generals came, he would not feel any pressure either.
Lu Xuanjing saw Chen Mo was silent and thought that he was taken by his own cultivation. Inwardly sneering, Lu Xuanjing clenched his hand, and a sword as translucent as water entered his grasp.
The man then flung his arm, and the sword in his hand attacked Chen Mo.
“Bang.”
Chen Mo drew his saber. Brilliant saber-light deflected the incoming sword.
“You have some skill, no wonder you dared to be so loud. But so what?” Lu Xuanjing’s Divine Intent moved.
That sword suddenly divided in midair, becoming multiple sword-shadows, transforming into an ocean. In a flash, they had covered Chen Mo’s surroundings. This sword-light was different from a sword chant. Sword chants were formed from a Life-cast Flying Sword and mostly utilized sword arrays. Damage to the swords would also harm the linked cultivator, but Lu Xuanjing’s Flying Sword technique had already separated itself from the confines of Life-cast like an empty shadow. It could be stronger than even a sword chant.
The sword-light was clear and serene, able to rise to touch the nine firmaments, able to descend into the nine hells.
“Nine firmaments and nine hells, neither live nor die!”
Lu Xuanjing chanted. His sword-light abruptly magnified and flowed down. This “Nine Firmaments And Nine Hells Sword” was one of the Three Thousand Sword Ocean’s famous abilities. Only the Ten Great Disciples were able to cultivate it. It was able to shine into the underworld, pierce through Heaven and Earth, attain victory without fail. Under his formidable magic energy, an Earthly Immortal would fundamentally be hard-pressed to ward off his attack.
With but one strike, Lu Xuanjing would make this arrogant Scattered Cultivator realize the distance between them.
Chen Mo’s heart was like still water, his face like a dry well. His fingers gripped his saber’s hilt with extremely slow movements, neither rushed nor flustered, flowing like clouds and water, utterly smooth.
Three thousand sword-lights formed a gigantic wave that rolled over, and then the sword-light twisted into a hurricane.
Chen Mo drew his saber.
Shining saber-light splashed out for a split second like a winter blizzard, freezing all of the incoming sword-light. Lu Xuanjing’s Nine Firmaments And Nine Hells Sword was completely useless. All of the sword-light was surprisingly repelled by this saber-light in one blow, scattering into nothingness.
“What?” Lu Xuanjing was astounded.
Star Energy!!
Shit, the opponent was a Star Warrior.
Lu Xuanjing came to the sudden realization that Chen Mo’s power stood out from the rest. He hastily used a second sword chant. The sword-light that was dispersed into the air instantly reformed. A “Sword Ocean Cluster Birth” emerged with force.
Chen Mo’s figure moved, his feet gently stepping. He already apprached by treading on the lake of sword-light.
Lu Xuanjing was caught off guard, and his expression was suddenly unsightly.
Saber-light instantly broke space apart.
Ice Breaker Snow Slicer.
Chen Mo slashed.
Lu Xuanjing mobilized his magic energy, but Chen Mo’s Star Energy far exceeded his imagination. He was cut down to the ground by this slash, hardly able to stop it at all. All of his sword-light vanished.
Chen Mo expressionlessly looked at the defeated Three Thousand Sword Ocean disciple.
“Take him away. Next!!”
Everyone present was dumbstruck.
…
Qilin Martial Emperor Liu Che Liu Hongyu narrowed her eyes as she scrutinized the man who was onstage. She propped up her chin with one hand. As she pet the Crimson Eyed Snow Walker Beast, she gently chuckled. “Hm, how interesting.”
Liu Hongyu lack all concept about cultivator Realms or battles. Whatever an Earthly Immortal was or a Golden Immortal was, she could swat them all dead as she pleased anyways. However, she saw that whatever Three Thousand Sword Ocean disciple was apparently formidable, yet the result was that he was defeated in one blow. It appeared that man was a bit outside of expectations.
“Martial Emperor, that seems to be a Heaven Earth Dark Yellow Technique.” Shangguan Jie ruminated.
“This man is a Star Warrior?” Liu Hongyu was unable to tell.
“En, somewhat formidable.” Shangguan Jie sensed that Chen Mo’s Star Energy was very profound.
“Ha, Qilin Minister, your Qilin Cub was nothing special now, was he?” Zhao CHongguo snickered at the alluring woman.
Zhang Anshi’s charming smile was a bit unpleasant. “Could this man be one of the legendary Xuannü Seven Stars? Zhao Muqiu, your capabilities are not bad.”
“There is no one named Mo Chen among the Xuannü Seven Stars. Besides, no one has ever seen this saber technique.” Zhao Muqiu chuckled.
“Martial Emperor, this man disturbed the lake qilin a moment ago.” Zhang Anshi seized the initiative.
Liu Hongyu went, “Oh.” Her interest was finally piqued.
The lake qilin was a Spirit Beast descended from the bloodline of the qilin. It had guarded the Weiyang Palace for centuries, and very few people were able to stir the lake qilin.
—
“Brat, do not be too impudent. I, Great Emperor Windwalker, will face you.”
“Carry him out, next!”
“Wukong Sect, Elder Wu’an Bang is here – Fist Sets Mountains And Rivers!”
“Next!”
“I am Great Sage Aloft Shears…”
“Take him away!!”
…
Qingyi put down her wine cup, her expression increasingly stern. She was already unable to turn her gaze away from the battles on the stage. Chen Mo’s consecutive victories over several dozen people already left everyone dumbstruck.
Although this competition in the hall was limited only to sword chants and one move victories, no one imagined that the merely Earthly Immortal Chen Mo was capable of defeating even Universe Origin Three Boundaries Great Sages.
The jeering, disdainful expressions on their faces had already vanished.
“The Qilin Martial Emperor is haughty by nature. That this man wants to stand out in front of the Martial Emperor…He truly has a death wish.” Ma Tayan was a bit regretful. Originally, her master quite valued this man. They never expected that he would, for a moment of vanity, wish to get close to a Star General during the Qilin Banquet. It was known that Liu Che’s “Golden House For Beloveds”1 reputation in Star World was very well known. To receive the attention of a Star General right before her eyes was no different from pulling the teeth of a tiger.
Looking at the other Lords Of Heaven, the Star Generals realized this while remaining unmoved.
Qingyi listened to her words and wrinkled her brow. She did not expect this; that Yu Xuanji’s looks were not all that impressive. She did not believe this man would move on her behalf for such a reason. This was simply bewildering.
Yu Youwei watched Chen Mo face everyone. She blinked, closing her eyelids as a cunning smirk appeared on her lips.
“Enough.” The Qilin Martial Emperor waved her hand, interrupting the hall’s competition.
“Anu,2 you go.” Liu Hongyu softly said.
Jin Midi, who stood at her side, bowed her head, and as ordered, walked on stage.
As if they had already foreseen this, the other Lords Of Heaven and Star Generals put on eager spectating appearances.
“If you want a Star General to attend to you, then you must first pass three of Anu’s moves. If you can survive, then you must sing for this man, Yu Xuanji.”
“As you command.” Yu Xuanji did not dare refuse. “Your Majesty, perhaps Xuanji can play a song while they duel.”
“Prepare your music.”
“Heavenly Wengshu Star ‘Marquis Of Du’ Jin Midi!”3 The woman’s face was rigid, like a sculpture.
Chen Mo also earnestly returned her salute.
“The Martial Emperor has commanded that if I am unable to kill you in three moves, this will be considered your win.” Jin Anu reiterated.
“I have a unique trait…I’m lucky.” Chen Mo tried a joke.
Jin Midi did not even twitch her brow.
She raised her hand and threw a punch.
A berserk gust rolled through the hall, overturning tables and scattering the entertainer. All of the Qilin Cubs present were grim-faced, promptly circulating their magic energy to resist as they gazed in shock at Jin Midi.
The Black Turtle inside Chen Mo’s body rocked. He quelled the Black Turtle’s effects and resisted the wind’s attack with his sturdy body alone.
All of a sudden.
An iron fist hurtled over with the force of an entire cavalry, its strength unblockable.
The might of this punch made the aforementioned Earthly Immortals and Golden Immortals turn pale with fright. Chen Mo struck with the “Qiankun Seal.” This Qiankun Seal was created by combining the “Zhangtian Seal” with the “Qiankun One Qi.” Contained in his palm was a path conforming to Heaven and Earth. The white qi in his palm wrapped around Jin Anu’s frightening punch.
Chen Mo’s Qi-blood was like a boulder, incomparably firm, no abnormalities at all. On the contrary, the body of the “Marquis Of Du” slightly quivered.
“Hm?” Jin Midi’s eyes widened. The woman’s second technique followed immediately afterwards, aimed at Chen Mo’s cranium. Immense pressure descended like a million pieces of iron.
The Alpha Ursae Majoris Saber was drawn, Ice Breaker Snow Slicer.
Jin Midi was repelled repeatedly, her stiff expression even more lifeless. The woman’s gaze sank as she stared like a wild animal at the man.
“Your Servant has been bold.” Chen Mo slightly grinned, his self-confident expression shaking even the Qilin Pavilion officer he faced.
“Martial Emperor, this Qilin Cub is quite impressive.” Huo Guang’s gaze was burning, her line of sight finally attracted to a man.
“This is fun. Trash is always sent here to die, and I grow weary of them.” Liu Hongyu said scornfully.
Huo Guang was silent.
Jin Midi roared. A boxing glove appeared in her right hand. This glove forged of gold and was large beyond compare. Worn over her hand, it turned the woman’s fist into an enormous object.
The golden glove emitted a concentrated pressure. It seemed that rending Heaven and Earth was within her power.
“He actually made Jin Midi use her Star Weapon, ‘Xiutu.'”4 Zhang Anshi chuckled. “He is dead for sure now.”
“Dark Rank: One Million Break!!”
What the hell?
Chen Mo was taken aback. He suddenly felt a force coil around his whole body, shaking even the Body of the Black Turtle. He fought with all his might to suppress the Black Turtle’s power inside his body. If he let the Black Turtle manifest, he feared there would be trouble. But without the Body of the Black Turtle, the earth-shattering might of Jin Midi’s punch was something he would be completely hard-pressed to ward off.
Chen Mo cursed to himself and was in the middle of hesitating.
All of a sudden, the music of a guqin entered and echoed in his ear. The pressure on his body slowly abated, and green light twinkled over his skin. Chen Mo looked at Yu Xuanji and immediately understood what was happening. His mind relaxed. Then, he drew his saber towards Jin Midi’s Dark Rank.
Saber Draw Water Cutter!!
Bang.
All of the jade cups on the tables exploded.
“Just what is this man’s background…”
Qingyi sunk into deep contemplation as she stared at the sahttered cup in her hand.
