Martial Arts Talent, Exquisitely Brilliant! [Part 1]

Nine-tiered palace.

A person sits cross-legged in meditation.

Countless spectators stared intently, their eyes filled with anticipation.

They desperately wanted the Death Arbiter to break through their realm immediately and start a war!

The battle was certainly not as exciting as the fight between Shan Buci, who had a single thought that could reach the heavens, and Yue Yanli, who had submitted to the God of Slaughter.

After all, that was a contest between the instructor and the dual divine bodies, an ultimate showdown between those ranked forty-fifth and fifty-second on the God List.

You might only see one like this once in a lifetime!

But the confrontation between Gu Lin and Jiang Ye was too exciting!

The stakes are too high!

The total wealth of the two prodigies who made it onto the list of gods.

Each of the hunting envoys contributed one million top-grade spirit stones!

Not only the imperial city spectators, but also the other forty imperial inspectors on the high platform were full of interest.

Fifteen minutes seemed like an eternity to everyone.

As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged, various strange phenomena manifested around Gu Lin. One after another, cave dwellings revealed their secrets, the spiritual curtain of heaven and earth lifted the gate of destiny, and mountains and oceans churned. At the same time, flowers, grasses and trees spread and expanded the territory.

Rumble!

A beam of spiritual energy, as thick as the opening of a well, descended.

Two paths.

Three paths.

Countless spectators held their breath in suspense.

Lu Zhenhuan, the patrol envoy beside him, was also full of anticipation.

In the boundless silence, a total of nine beams of spiritual energy slammed into Gu Lintian's skull.

"Nine pillars of light..." The Empress's noble eyes were filled with worry, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Lu Zhenhuan's stern face remained expressionless, which was expected.

Gu Lin did not bring any surprises.

Of course, he wouldn't regret his bet. As someone who patrols a region on behalf of Heaven, he has the composure to accept his losses.

Countless spectators looked at each other in bewilderment.

When a cultivator breaks through to the Qiankun Realm, the number of spiritual energy pillars can reveal their innate talent and predict their future achievements.

The prodigies who broke through to the Qiankun Realm on the God Ranking almost all had more than twenty beams of light.

For example, Donghuang Sheng, who recently broke through to the level of the designated Qiankun master, was one of the twenty-one pillars of light.

Those who make it into the top 400 of the God Ranking can generate 40 to 50 beams of light!

Legend has it that when the Empress broke through to the Qiankun Realm, more than a hundred pillars of spiritual energy appeared!

This is the gap!

really.

The Death Judge is too ordinary in the martial arts field; this mediocrity is relative to the prodigies who have ascended to the God Ranking.

To put it more bluntly, even the geniuses ranked 1,500th on the God Ranking can generate nearly twenty beams of light when they break through to the Qiankun Realm.

His greatest skill and reliance is still on the art of Gu!

Because of the Gu Dao (a type of poison), the Death Judge was able to reach the top of the Western Four Regions Grand Competition.

Jiang Ye watched this scene and gently tugged at the corner of his mouth.

With such mediocre martial arts talent, what makes you think you can compete with me?

I broke through to the Qiankun Realm, with fifty-three pillars of spiritual energy!

What about you?

Nine steps!

This is a comprehensive difference in meridians, dantian, acupoints, and so on!

The remnant soul within Jiang Ye's body was already beyond excited.

He knew better than anyone that without the divine medicine from the Feathered Heaven Cave to change his aptitude, the man surnamed Gu would be nothing more than an ant that couldn't be brought to the table!

If it weren't for the power of the Gu Dao, the man surnamed Gu would have been a miserable corpse in the underground cave long ago. Let alone killing his way through the underground cave, his chances of surviving until the four regions were connected would be slim!

On the high platform, looking at the nine pillars of light, the Ten Thousand Hunting Envoys of the Western Liu Region were completely relieved, and their last remaining doubts dissipated.

Nine beams of light—this martial arts talent is already at the very bottom of the list on the Ascension to Godhood!

It poses no threat to Jiang Ye.

Lu Zhenhuan should take out a million spirit stones!

Under the spotlight, Gu Lin slowly opened his eyes. After the pillar of light completely disappeared, his dantian was filled with white light, and with a thought, he could create all things.

This is the Realm of Heaven and Earth!

The dantian itself becomes a universe!

Countless spectators noticed the outpouring of true energy:

"He has broken through to the first level of the Qiankun Realm."

A great war is about to begin!

As Gu Lin slowly rose, the Empress's expression turned solemn; she could already foresee the outcome.

If it were a full-scale battle, and both being at the first level of the Qiankun Realm, she believed in Gu Lin's Gu Dao techniques.

But now, how could the talent and aptitude of the nine pillars of spiritual energy possibly win?

They've lost everything.

But based on this "Ode to the Phoenix God," I can give him two Venerable-level combat techniques and some Earth-level spiritual herbs, so that he can at least have some resources to manage.

Gu Lin returned to the assembly square.

The other prodigies who had ascended to the Godhood list had long since dispersed from the square, leaving a battlefield fifty feet wide open.

Jiang Ye walked over unhurriedly, his body radiating the Myriad Colors True Essence of the first level of the Qiankun Realm, and his smile grew wider and wider.

"Thump!"

With a chime from the high platform.

Gu Lin moved.

He condensed hand seals at an incredible speed, and the laws of time formed tree-like patterns and shimmering halos.

The handprint has not yet been made.

Bang!

A muffled thud came from Jiang Ye's body, like a stone thrown into the deep sea, causing little to no ripple.

In that instant, a vast and boundless desert phenomenon appeared behind Jiang Ye, a great river flowed through it, and a pure, azure-blue Dharma image suddenly rose up.

The river flows into the vast wilderness!

Three hundred zhang!

Five hundred feet!

Six hundred zhang!

The entire six-hundred-foot-tall Dharma image hangs in the sky, creating an incomparably magnificent scene.

Countless spectators were horrified.

"A Dharma form six hundred feet tall!"

"This is a forbidden technique of supreme defense!"

"As expected of the Heavy Water Divine Body, water is both the softest and the hardest, capable of both offense and defense!"

Some spectators from the western regions looked numb, their last remaining sparks of hope extinguished.

The Time Future Imprint is really powerful!

It was this very move that made the Death Judge shine at the Four Realms Exchange Conference.

However, it couldn't budge the six-hundred-foot-long defensive forbidden technique at all!

Lu Zhenhuan's gaze was solemn.

He didn't believe that Gu Lin only had this one trick up his sleeve.

Under the illumination of Jiang Ru Dahuang's Dharma Image, Jiang Ye's entire body appeared azure blue, his black hair danced wildly, and he spoke with profound wisdom:

"Who gave you the courage to accept the challenge?"

"If combined with your spatial circulation Gu worm, it would have some power, but it's only a one-time attack in the future. Are you just tickling me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and grabbed at the void. A torrential rain of spiritual energy fell from the sky, and an endless sea surged in, connecting the sea and the sky. A fantastic blue spectacle appeared, and a blue ray of light was reflected where the sea and the sky met.

This beam of light pierced the sky, reaching a height of seven hundred feet!

The sea and sky blend into one bright color!

A Dharma form seven hundred feet tall!

It's not six hundred feet!

It's seven hundred zhang!

Too many spectators felt their scalp tingle.

This person who controls the four seas is terrifyingly powerful!

He is definitely more than just 416th in strength!

Forbidden defensive technique, a six-hundred-foot-tall Dharma form!

Heavy water attack, a seven-hundred-foot-tall Dharma image!

The death arbiter is as insignificant as an ant.

With martial arts skills alone, he simply couldn't break through Jiang Ye's defenses.

Jiang Ye could easily suppress him!

It was overwhelming brutality!

There will be no surprises at all.

A massive bet?

The death arbiter is a money-giving child!

As the seven-hundred-foot-long blue light slowly converged into a clear, giant hand, a strong killing intent permeated all directions.

Envoy Lu Zhenhuan smiled bitterly to himself.

The Empress lowered her eyes, unwilling to look at the death arbiter's disheveled state.

however.

The sudden scene made her look up abruptly, her eyes filled with shock.

"This...how is this possible?"

Many of the inspectors suddenly stood up, their expressions utterly incredulous.

Lord Yin, clad in the robe of a hundred beasts, also stared intently.
