Chapter 256 Open and Upright
"Boom!"
Dark golden light burst and exploded repeatedly in the void.
The endless starlight was shattered inch by inch by these dark golden streams of light crashing through it.
Each time the starlight shattered, Leng Xing Shu's expression would grow paler.
His consciousness would also dissipate to some extent.
But he persisted, and after his divine consciousness was scattered and his starlight was destroyed time and time again, he once again gathered the power of the constellation and pressed down on Li Xian.
His magical skills have reached their limit!
The power of the magical artifact was also pushed to its limit!
Even the divine sense, which is the greatest disadvantage, has been tempered and refined. It has always remained unbroken under Li Xian's sword intent, showing an unprecedented tenacity and decisiveness.
The power of starlight clashed fiercely with the true form of Fu Li and the sharpness of the Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi, bursting forth with boundless flames, until...
The battle raged until the starlight was completely annihilated!
At some point...
Li Xian's offensive suddenly stopped.
"You're not bad."
He said something.
"Not nearly as good as you."
Leng Xingshu said.
He stared calmly at Li Xian, whose dark golden light, which had been more than half depleted, was now showing signs of full recovery thanks to the profound power of the Great Devouring Technique…
"Come!"
"it is good."
Li responded with a sound.
The streak of dark golden light shot straight into the sky, like a divine sword cleaving through the heavens, scattering the dazzling starlight that filled the void.
The power of the Big Dipper has been completely destroyed.
As the starlight dissipated, Leng Xing Shu also sighed.
His divine consciousness burned fiercely, never extinguished.
But his true essence and magical power had been exhausted to the extreme, squeezed out to the last bit...
And it was completely annihilated by Li Xian's sword strike just now.
Having exhausted all his magical power, he could no longer even maintain his physical form and, like a lamp running out of oil, fell directly from the void.
Seeing this, Li Xian used the method of exhaling life force to unleash a burst of magical power at him.
Nourished by this magical power, he regained some of his strength.
Thank you.
Leng Xingchu nodded to Li Xian.
"If we can overcome this tribulation as soon as possible, we might be able to fight again in the future."
After Li finished speaking, he didn't look at this top-tier True Lord again.
Leng Xingchu gave Li Xian a deep look before quickly disappearing into the distance.
This scene...
The sight of Leng Xingchu, who had been excited by his arrival, silenced the cultivators.
An atmosphere of utter oppression, frustration, and pessimism filled everyone's hearts.
And at this very moment...
Having finally made up her mind, Yun Wuxiu stepped forward.
It wasn't that he wanted to stand up; rather, he knew he couldn't avoid it.
If you step forward now, you can still gain some reputation. But when you are completely forced to the forefront, you will lose both face and substance.
"Li Xian!"
He straightened up on the flying boat, spoke in a loud voice, and exuded an air of grandeur.
"You're stronger than I expected!"
Although he secretly wished that Li Xian, this troublemaker who ruined his good life, would die immediately, he dared not show it at this moment.
Li Xian turned his head and his gaze fell on him.
You missed your last chance.
"Missed out? No! I just didn't want to take advantage of someone in distress."
"Ok?"
Li Xian raised his eyebrows slightly.
According to Leng Xingshu, the reason why Crown Prince Yun Wuxiu was stronger than him was because of his status as the Crown Prince, and because Leng Xingshu himself was afraid of trouble, so he did not go all out in the secret competition.
But judging from the tone of the crown prince right now...
Does he seem to actually have real strength?
"I am the Crown Prince of the current dynasty. My time and energy should be devoted to governing the country and caring for the people, not to fighting and vying for power. Therefore, I have not participated in any rankings within the Immortal Dynasty."
Yun Wuxiu's voice echoed through the void through divine sense: "I thought I had been low-key enough, but I never expected that you would still investigate my true strength so clearly and rank me at the top... I have to say, the intelligence capabilities of the Upper Sect are quite remarkable."
"Then what are you waiting for?"
Li Xian stretched out his hand: "Come." "I will fight you! I will fight you with all my might, and prove that I am indeed worthy of the title of the number one Dao Realm cultivator in the Boundless Immortal Dynasty, without needing someone like you from an outside sect to make such a fuss."
Yun Wuxiu's clear voice echoed in my mind.
These words, heard by the crowd, invigorated the people who had been feeling depressed and frustrated by the defeat of Leng Xingchu, the number one Dao Realm expert in everyone's eyes.
According to Your Highness...
The ranking published by the Great Luo Immortal Sect was actually true!?
Does His Highness the Crown Prince actually possess strength greater than Leng Xing Shu?
Because of his status as the crown prince, he did not want to disrupt a certain balance, nor did he want to give the impression of using his power to oppress others, so he never revealed his true strength to the outside world.
"There is hope! There is hope! Your Highness, you are our true hope!"
"He will win. His Highness still has the courage to fight Li Xian after witnessing the battle between Li Xian and Leng Jianzheng. This shows that he must have confidence. Therefore, he will definitely win!"
"The battle between Supervisor Leng and Li Xian just now was actually evenly matched. However, Supervisor Leng was weak in that he could not sustain the fight. If Your Highness were even slightly stronger than Supervisor Leng, you would definitely be able to turn the tide and win the final victory!"
For a time, all sorts of excited discussions kept coming from the crowd.
Everyone seemed to have grasped at a straw after drowning, their eyes constantly shifting between Li Xian and Yun Wuxiu.
That look in his eyes was as if he were looking at the savior of the younger generation of the Boundless Immortal Dynasty.
Yun Wuxiu saw everyone's reactions and felt a little pressured, but more than that, she was secretly pleased.
Theoretically, the greater the hopes that everyone has for him right now, the stronger the backlash he will suffer if he is defeated by Li Xian in the future.
but……
He never even considered fighting Li Xian.
They were already determined to use someone else to do their dirty work.
Therefore, he could take advantage of this precious opportunity to do his best to gain fame and make his position as crown prince unshakeable by anyone.
“Li Xian, as the Dao Child of the Upper Sect and one of the four great prodigies renowned throughout the Eastern Continent, your strength is beyond doubt. This has been proven by the fact that Leng Xing Shu has been unable to break through your Floating Dawn True Body for so long. However, I am different from Leng Xing Shu. I possess three ninth-realm magic treasures, two of which are extremely adept at attacking strong points and are perfect for countering your Floating Dawn True Body!”
Yun Wuxiu's voice was loud: "However, I believe that as the Dao Child of the Great Luo Immortal Sect, you most likely possess a ninth-realm magic treasure. But in your battle against Leng Xingxu, you did not use this magic treasure. This shows that this is not your strongest state. Therefore, although I am fully confident, if this battle goes to its extreme, neither of us may be able to stop. In other words... this battle is very likely to be a life-or-death battle where we spare no effort!"
"so?"
Li Xian looked at the Crown Prince, somewhat unsure of what he wanted to say.
Isn't a life-or-death battle normal?
In a duel where the two sides are evenly matched, it is never easy to back down.
It's not like the strong are bullying the weak; the severity can be controlled.
"Although this battle concerns the glory of my Boundless Immortal Dynasty, and as a cultivator I have the right and the obligation to bring glory to the Immortal Dynasty, I am also the Crown Prince of the current dynasty. The safety of hundreds of millions of citizens of the Boundless Immortal Dynasty rests on my shoulders. I cannot abandon my duties for the sake of a cultivator's glory and throw myself into a battle of life and death... Let's set a time!"
Yun Wuxiu said in a deep voice, "Two months! I will use two months to lay down the heavy burden of being the crown prince of a country, adjust my spirit, and be in the best condition to engage in a life-and-death duel with you, the Daoist of the Upper Sect, which belongs only to us cultivators. Let the world see if I, Yun Wuxiu, am qualified to truly sit on the throne of the number one person in the Dao Realm that you mentioned!"
These words deeply moved all the onlookers.
"Your Highness..."
"I actually had a momentary thought that His Highness might be afraid and avoid battle... I deserve to die!"
"At this moment, His Highness the Crown Prince is still thinking about his duties and the common people. It is our good fortune to have such a Crown Prince in the Boundless Immortal Dynasty. And how fortunate we are to be born in the Boundless Immortal Dynasty!"
The cultivators' feelings of guilt, excitement, and admiration rose and fell, creating a cacophony of noise.
Even the ambassadors from the Yaoyang Immortal Sect, the Dayu Immortal Dynasty, and the Wuji Star Palace, while surprised, also had solemn expressions.
"Investigate! Mobilize everyone to find out exactly how strong Yun Wuxiu is!"
"We knew Yun Wuxiu was quite strong, but we never expected that even after Leng Xingchu's defeat, he would still dare to engage in a life-or-death duel with Li Xian? If he didn't have absolute confidence in his own strength, how could he dare to say such a thing?! Not having this information is a dereliction of duty on our part, Wuji Star Palace!"
"There's actually a master here!?"
Various orders were constantly being issued by the representatives of these forces.
Chu Yunji, who was standing right next to Yun Wuxiu, looked at the Crown Prince with an expression of adoration that seemed almost overflowing.
"Your Highness...you are the savior of the Boundless Immortal Dynasty, the true dragon emperor! Only under your leadership can the Boundless Immortal Dynasty achieve further prosperity and become the tenth greatest power in the world!"
Her words were resolute.
I wish I could give my life for Yun Wuxiu.
"Two months?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xian felt that it had taken a while, but considering that Crown Prince Yun Wuxiu's identity was indeed extraordinary, he nodded in agreement.
"Alright, let's set it for noon two months from now. We'll fight to the death in the void, just like before!"
He responded.
"it is good!"
Yun Wuxiu nodded emphatically: "Then it's settled."
He waved his hand, and the airship sailed away from the area.
However, he did not go to the Crown Prince's residence in the center of the Boundless Immortal Dynasty, but to a scenic palace outside the capital, used for vacation and leisure.
According to him, he will settle his affairs here and adjust his mindset to prepare for the upcoming showdown.
In fact, to ensure a quiet environment, he didn't bring anyone with him except Chu Yunji.
When Li Xian learned of this, he also showed a certain degree of importance to it.
"Rumors should not be taken at face value."
Although Leng Xingchu said that Yun Wuxiu's strength was inferior to his, but...
Does anyone know if Yun Wuxiu has any hidden strength?
"Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit, let alone this Crown Prince who does not appear to be weak. In the next two months, we must seize the time to cultivate the Floating Dawn True Body to the ninth level in order to prepare for the great battle!"
