Chapter 1982: Chapter 1982: Challenging the Invincible Supreme, the Unshakable Leader

"Tian Xing, fight with all your strength!"

Shi Lei stood by the arena and shouted.

Mo Ying, Huo Yunjie, Li Jiaojiao and other disciples were all serious. After all, Long Tianxing was facing the Tiangang Immortal Emperor, an invincible supreme powerhouse.

Although they were disciples of the Misty Holy Sect and each possessed high combat strength, this time the opponent was not weak either, and they had to go all out.

Otherwise, things could take a turn for the worse.

Ye Feng had already told them that the members of the Misty Holy Sect must have ten people break into the top hundred of the Cosmic Heavenly Ladder Rankings, and moreover, one must reach the top.

And maintain it for a year.

For Mo Ying and others, entering the top hundred wasn’t difficult, as they had already achieved it.

But reaching the top was too difficult!

Especially with the mysterious Ancestor of Demons exuding a terrifying pressure, to reach the top, they must first use the fourth-ranked Tiangang Immortal Emperor as a stepping stone.

"Don’t worry, I will."

Long Tianxing nodded, then suddenly clenched his fists and roared to the sky, his whole body rapidly glowing, transforming into a snow-white flying dragon, Yinglong.

A mighty aura swept all around instantly.

"What immense power, it seems on par with this emperor! My god, when did Long Tianxing also step into the invincible supreme domain?"

The pressure on Tiangang Immortal Emperor skyrocketed.

Onlookers were also in a frenzy.

"Long Tianxing’s combat strength has also stepped into the invincible domain; when did this happen?"

"Long Tianxing has long been an invincible supreme, hasn’t he? Previously, rumors said he was merely at the nine-star pinnacle as a king, likely just a ruse to hide his true strength."

"This battle is a clash between two invincible supremes, comparable to past battles of proving the way!"

"Interesting, so interesting!"

"Living in this brilliant era is indeed our fortune; even battles at the proving level can be witnessed firsthand; this life is not in vain!"

The crowd marveled.

In past eras, once two hundred-layered Immortal Emperors at the invincible supreme level clashed, it usually marked the final moments of proving the way to Heavenly Venerable status.

But now, it was merely a contest.

"Long Tianxing, to think you’ve also entered the invincible supreme domain; among all young talents, you are among the top tier."

Tiangang Immortal Emperor said in a deep voice.

"Senior praises me too much, compared to those top-tier geniuses of my generation, I’m still a bit lacking," Long Tianxing grinned, his voice like thunder.

"Since you challenge me, let’s skip the small talk, make your move!"

Tiangang Immortal Emperor said.

"Alright!" Long Tianxing roared, now transformed into a ten-meter-long flying dragon, Yinglong, his combat power reaching its peak, swinging his dragon tail like a hundred-layered Immortal Emperor-level divine weapon, its might astonishing.

"Well done!"

Tiangang Immortal Emperor decisively retreated. During this, he formed hand seals, countless Punishment Divine Thunders erupted, pouring down on Long Tianxing like a storm.

Crackle!

Long Tianxing was crushed into retreat, his body cracking all over, with his wind wings flapping furiously, stirring up a fierce law gale, clashing directly with the Punishment Divine Thunder.

"Yinglong’s Heaven-Shaking Roar!"

Long Tianxing gathered elemental energy suddenly and roared to the sky, countless dragon breaths surged from his mouth like waves, layer upon layer, causing the Punishment Divine Thunder to reverse.

A vacuum formed around him.

"Truly amazing!"

Tiangang Immortal Emperor exclaimed, not expecting Long Tianxing to repel the Punishment Divine Thunder, secretly acknowledging that the disciples of the Misty Holy Sect were all terrifying monsters.

"It’s time to end this!"

Long Tianxing had discerned Tiangang Immortal Emperor’s exact strength and felt confident.

The next moment.

He executed the "Leaping Step" taught by Ye Feng, his body swaying, reappearing ghostlike behind Tiangang Immortal Emperor.

"So fast?" Tiangang Immortal Emperor was shocked.

He wanted to avoid engaging in close combat with Long Tianxing, but the latter was already prepared and attacked directly.

Boom!

Long Tianxing’s powerful dragon tail swept, heavily striking Tiangang Immortal Emperor’s back, then continuously spewed dragon breath and frantically tore with his claws.

In an instant.

Tiangang Immortal Emperor was torn to pieces.

The battle was thus concluded.

Everyone watched in astonishment, unable to fathom why, despite both being ordinary invincible supremes, the battle, which was initially evenly matched, suddenly tilted in Long Tianxing’s favor, leading to his victory.

In the distant Misty Holy Sect camp.

Shi Lei breathed a sigh of relief.

"Junior Brother Long probably used the Heavenly Venerable Divine Ability ’Infinite Combat Power,’ temporarily boosting his combat strength by burning life force, catching Tiangang Immortal Emperor off guard."

Shi Lei murmured.

Those around him all nodded.

To date, Ye Feng had long taught the ten Heavenly Venerable Divine Abilities he mastered to Mo Ying, Shi Lei, Long Tianxing, Ji Ziling, and other core disciples.

Of course, they hadn’t mastered all of them.

For instance, with ’Infinite Combat Power,’ in their current state, they could at most master the first stage, at best multiplying their combat power by ten.

But this was already strong enough, equivalent to boosting combat power by a three-star level.

"Look, the rankings have changed."

Everyone pointed to the Cosmic Heavenly Ladder Rankings, where Long Tianxing had replaced Tiangang Immortal Emperor, ranking fourth, while Tiangang Immortal Emperor slipped to fifth.

Subsequent rankings remained unchanged.

"Emperor Dragon Sovereign, I challenge you!"

At that moment, Huo Yunjie stepped forward and shouted to the empty void, his voice deafening.

Emperor Dragon Sovereign currently ranked third.

Everyone knew his combat strength was similar to that of the second-ranked Crimson Queen, so Huo Yunjie and others decided to first challenge Emperor Dragon Sovereign. If victorious, they could confidently challenge the first-ranked Ancestor of Demons.

As for why not challenge the Ancestor of Demons directly?

Because the Ancestor of Demons had declared that only those ranked in the top three could challenge him, otherwise, he had no interest in a battle.

"Challenge me? Are you sure?"

Emperor Dragon Sovereign appeared near the arena, then looked at Huo Yunjie, who already stood in the center of the arena.

"Yes, I wish to challenge you."

Huo Yunjie nodded.

Emperor Dragon Sovereign landed on the arena, scrutinizing the similarly hundred-layered Immortal Emperor Huo Yunjie, asking, "What is your base combat strength? Have you reached invincible supreme? If not, it’s a waste of time."

Previously, his combat strength was already four to five times that of an ordinary invincible supreme. After purchasing Ye Feng’s method of law fusion and successfully fusing a fourth law, his combat strength reached eight times that of an ordinary invincible supreme.

This strength was truly astounding.

He knew he was not as strong as the Ancestor of Demons, but he wasn’t one to be challenged by other ordinary invincible supremes either.

"Just stepped into the invincible domain."

Huo Yunjie said.

Immediately, he emanated extremely fierce fluctuations of sword intent laws, displaying his profound strength.

"What?!"

"Huo Yunjie is also an invincible supreme?"

"Why does it feel like invincible supremes are being mass-produced, all stepping into this domain one after another?"

Everyone was flabbergasted.

They didn’t know that after Huo Yunjie, Long Tianxing, Mo Ying, Ji Ziling, and others trained in the "Nine Heavens Profound Art" revised by Ye Feng, they had continuously transformed and reborn in the process of refining the Law Origin Crystals, all possessing invincible supreme combat power.

In the high sky.

Ye Feng stood with his hands behind his back.

"Mysterious God, oh Mysterious God, if you were alive and saw all my core disciples cultivating the improved version of the ’Nine Heavens Profound Art’, you would probably be livid, wouldn’t you?"

Thinking of this, Ye Feng looked towards the ground.

"You are actually an Invincible Supreme, but what about the others? Could it be... are they all?" Emperor Dragon Sovereign looked at Mo Ying and the others, his face full of incredulity.

Mo Ying and the others smiled without speaking.

Before cultivating the ’Nine Heavens Profound Art’, their combat power was mostly Nine-star Peak King level, with only a few barely stepping into the Invincible Domain.

Now, they had at least undergone two transformations, and at worst had just entered the Invincible Domain. Mo Ying, having the strongest normal combat power, was already several times the power of an ordinary Invincible Supreme, close to the Emperor Dragon Sovereign.

The expressions of the crowd made Emperor Dragon Sovereign’s heart skip a beat. Could it be that they were truly all Invincible Supremes? Thinking of this, his face changed dramatically.

"Emperor Dragon Sovereign, fight me!"

Huo Yunjie slightly lowered his body, his left hand gripping the sword sheath, and his right hand in a reverse grip on the sword hilt, pouring all his power into the sword.

This was to execute the Sword Drawing Technique.

"Sword Drawing Technique!"

Emperor Dragon Sovereign recognized this move.

Legend has it that this divine ability was originally just an ordinary Sword Drawing Technique, but later, Ye Feng improved it multiple times, making it extremely powerful, transforming into a top-tier divine skill that made warriors across the universe tremble.

"Kill, Dragon Emperor Dimensional Slash!"

Emperor Dragon Sovereign roared in anger, clasping his hands together, gathering his aura, then slashing down with all his might.

This strike, he used all his power!

Not far across from him.

Cracks appeared on Huo Yunjie’s body, a side effect of overburdening his aura. Fortunately, he still managed to condense all his power.

"Ultimate Vitality Sword Slash!"

Huo Yunjie shouted explosively, risking collapse of his whole body, swiftly drawing his sword from the sheath, striking out a sharp beam of energy, colliding with the Dragon Emperor Dimensional Slash.

Pop!

A shockwave exploded from the collision point, the crowd witnessing the Dragon Emperor Dimensional Slash shattering, while Huo Yunjie’s Vitality Slash’s power sharply declined, but did not disappear, continuing to fight and cleaving Emperor Dragon Sovereign in half.

The battle ended like this.

"You... what a strong strike!"

Emperor Dragon Sovereign stared at Huo Yunjie in front, eyes full of astonishment, not expecting that even after his power had increased to eight times that of an ordinary Invincible Supreme, he was still defeated by the opponent, feeling very aggrieved in his heart.

"Are we... old now?"

"Is the new era ultimately for the young?"

Emperor Dragon Sovereign lamented, his body collapsing, consciousness returning to the body in reality, expression desolate.

"I originally thought I could seize a naming opportunity for proving the True Heavenly Venerable, but now it seems, I cannot compete against the talented disciple of the Misty Holy Sect. Perhaps, I should consider a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable naming seat. Or maybe, I can’t even achieve Quasi-Heavenly Venerable!"

The more Emperor Dragon Sovereign thought, the more he felt melancholic.

On the other side, inside the Void Heavenly World.

Huo Yunjie’s body gradually reassembled, quickly recovering to peak state, eyes full of joyous color.

"Look, the rankings changed!"

The crowd looked at the Cosmic Heavenly Ladder Rankings, seeing that Huo Yunjie was now ranked third, Emperor Dragon Sovereign fell to fourth. Today, Long Tianxing, who had just risen to fourth, fell to fifth, and Tiangang Immortal Emperor and others also dropped one position.

"Senior Brother, can you still fight?" Li Jiaojiao held Huo Yunjie’s arm, asking softly.

"If I can defeat the Emperor Dragon Sovereign, I can defeat the second-ranked Crimson Queen, but the top-ranked Ancestor of Demons is too strong, to be honest, I am uncertain."

Huo Yunjie whispered.

"Give it a try!" Mo Ying said.

Huo Yunjie’s burst was the strongest, if even he couldn’t overpower the Ancestor of Demons, others would have even less chance of winning.

"Okay." Huo Yunjie nodded.

The next moment.

He stomped the ground: "Ancestor of Demons, I am Huo Yunjie, a First Generation disciple of the Misty Holy Sect, third on the Cosmic Heavenly Ladder Rankings, here to challenge you!"

His voice was like thunder, shaking the entire scene.

Ancestral Demon Realm.

Upon receiving the news, the Ancestor of Demons slowly opened his eyes, a smile unconsciously spreading at the corners of his mouth.

"Huo Yunjie? Hehe, you probably don’t know that my power has reached thirty-two times that of an ordinary Invincible Supreme, even if you have the explosive power of the Sword Drawing Technique, you are not a match for me, the Ancestor of Demons."

Having said this, the Ancestor of Demons closed his eyes again.

His consciousness quickly entered the Void Heavenly World, appearing in a vast starry sky, then flew to the Primordial Ancient Star Arena, under everyone’s gaze.

"Look, the Ancestor of Demons has come!"

"He really accepted the challenge!"

"A good show has begun."

The crowd stared unblinkingly.

Huo Yunjie made a sword-drawing gesture, not blinking as he stared at the Ancestor of Demons, with a sharp gaze.

"Huo Yunjie, you are quite formidable for a junior, even Emperor Dragon Sovereign wasn’t your match." The Ancestor of Demons smiled, "But, you cannot defeat me."

"How will I know it’s impossible without trying?"

Huo Yunjie began to gather his aura.

The Ancestor of Demons chuckled: "Go ahead and show your renowned Sword Drawing Technique, I can withstand it."

"Okay, straightforward!" Huo Yunjie was delighted.

His most powerful technique was the Sword Drawing Technique, focusing on critical moment bursts, but casting it required time, and with the Ancestor of Demons’ profound skill, he could completely counteract during the casting process.

Now, knowing that the Ancestor of Demons would give him the opportunity to cast, Huo Yunjie was naturally happy.

"Ultimate Vitality Sword Slash!"

Huo Yunjie once again condensed his aura, causing his skin to crack, then swiftly drew his sword, unleashing a sword beam that seemed capable of splitting heaven and earth in two.

"Well done!"

The Ancestor of Demons clenched his fists, a dense lightning demon light appeared on his body, condensing into countless disks of light, standing in front, directly receiving the sword beam.

Crackle! Crackle!

With over ten layers of disks breaking, the power of the sword beam had already diminished tenfold, caught between the Ancestor of Demons’ two fingers, unable to inflict damage.

"How can this be?!"

Huo Yunjie, Mo Ying, Long Tianxing, and other disciples of the Misty Holy Sect all gasped.

Powerhouses from all realms were also shocked.

The might of the Ancestor of Demons, merely relying on his own defense, withstood Huo Yunjie’s all-out attack.

This... is too powerful!

The gap between the two sides is vast!

"Huo Yunjie, you have lost."

The Ancestor of Demons cast a palm strike from afar, causing Huo Yunjie’s body to collapse into nothingness, his consciousness returning to his main body.

"Defeated, even the Second Senior Brother was defeated!"

Long Tianxing, Qiao Jiaxi, and the others felt very unwilling, raising their heads, eyes filled with fighting spirit.

"What, do you still want to challenge me?"

The Ancestor of Demons stared at Mo Ying and the others.

"May I ask for guidance?" Mo Ying stepped forward.

"You can come at me together." The Ancestor of Demons motioned with his hand, his face filled with confidence.

"Alright, let’s go together then!"

Mo Ying said in a low voice, and beside her, Shi Lei, Li Jiaojiao, Long Tianxing, Jia Yulan, Qiao Jiaxi and other First Generation disciples of Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor grade simultaneously acted, the weakest being at ordinary Invincible Supreme combat power, astonishing the universe.
