Chapter 170: The Brilliance of That Blade!

Above the high platform.

Qin Chaoyang and the others were also staring intently at Lu Changsheng and the other.

Everyone was quite looking forward to the result of this battle.

"Marquis, who do you think will win this battle?"

Di Zhiyu smiled faintly.

Even these masters found it difficult to distinguish who was stronger or weaker between the two.

Judging by aura alone, the two were evenly matched.

"Lu Changsheng will win slightly."

Qin Chaoyang spat out a few words directly.

As the son-in-law he had identified, he still hoped the opponent could win.

Although he didn't have much confidence in his heart either.

After all, Dong Chenghan's strength was top-tier among many Heavenly Prides.

He had a thirty to forty percent chance of winning against Ke Yanfeng and Ji Wenrui.

"I, however, think Dong Chenghan will powerfully suppress Lu Changsheng."

"Everyone knows the power of the Five Elements Domain; it is definitely not weaker than the Slaughter Domain, and besides, the opponent also has two-tenths domain power..."

Luo Tianxiang, to the side, suddenly smiled and interrupted, a trace of disdain in his eyes.

As Qin Chaoyang's arch-rival, seeing the opponent build momentum for Lu Changsheng, he naturally had to mock him.

"Haha, both have a chance."

Di Zhiyu hurriedly laughed and tried to smooth things over.

Although he also felt Dong Chenghan had a better chance of winning.

Many Innate powerhouses on the field also thought Dong Chenghan had a higher winning rate and began to discuss.

Dong Chenghan had long been the third-ranked Heavenly Pride, and his strength was obvious to all.

Many Qingning Prefecture martial artists and Qin Ruobing and others were also nervous.

They stared fixedly at Lu Changsheng and the other on stage.

Afraid of missing a single detail.

Just as everyone had different thoughts, the battle on the arena erupted instantly.

"Whoosh..."

Dong Chenghan's Innate Qi erupted violently, and a jade-green domain spread rapidly toward the surroundings.

Within a radius of two miles, it was as if one were in a large forest.

Countless trees rose from the ground, lush and green, as if they could block the sky and sun.

Even the crowd around the arena felt an extremely oppressive aura.

Dong Chenghan stood with his hands behind his back on a towering tree, overlooking the living beings below.

His aura climbed step by step, becoming increasingly violent.

After stimulating his domain, his aura had reached its limit.

"What a terrifying Wood Domain; it is indeed one of the Five Elements Domains. If the Five Elements were gathered, it would truly reach a heaven-defying level."

The crowd looked at the stage with solemn faces.

The two-tenths Wood Domain didn't lose to Lu Changsheng's in the slightest; now the two were afraid they would have a fierce battle.

Qin Ruobing and the others saw this, and their eyes were full of worry.

Dong Chenghan hadn't even struck yet, and he already had this momentum; Lu Changsheng was probably going to fall into a bitter battle.

Lu Changsheng saw this situation and remained calm.

He was not to be outdone and unleashed his Slaughter Domain with full force.

"Zzz..."

Boundless blood mist began to spread rapidly until it filled the entire two-mile radius.

Countless skeletal knights began to climb from the ground, the baleful aura becoming increasingly thick, and bursts of wailing resounded throughout the field.

The two domains overlapped and began to clash fiercely; for a time, neither could do anything to the other.

In the large forest, blood mist lingered, emitting wisps of corrosive energy, gradually dissolving the nearby giant trees...

The two stimulated their Innate Qi one after another and began to compete with full force.

Lu Changsheng didn't expose his three-tenths domain, only using the strength he had used to defeat Yu Cheng.

He planned to expose the three-tenths domain only during the finals.

And he suspected that Ke Yanfeng and the other probably hid quite a bit of strength.

They were currently observing him with full force, so he naturally had to keep something in reserve.

Using only the two-tenths Slaughter Domain was enough to break Dong Chenghan.

Gradually.

As time passed.

The Slaughter Domain slowly gained the upper hand, frantically corroding the surrounding trees, and the ground beneath their feet turned into a sea of blood, very eerie.

After a few breaths.

Dong Chenghan was full of shock.

"This is impossible!"

Seeing his own Five Elements Domain was no match at all, he couldn't believe it in his heart, as if monstrous waves were rising.

You must know that his Wood Domain, as part of the Five Elements Domain, had power that definitely ranked in the upper tier among all domains.

Compared to Lu Changsheng's Slaughter Domain, it was not inferior in the slightest.

And his domain had also been cultivated to two tenths.

Yet he actually had a feeling of being unable to resist.

"Could this person's domain power be approaching three tenths?"

At this very moment, this thought suddenly popped into his mind.

His pupils shrank violently.

Only this could explain it clearly, otherwise, it would be impossible to suppress his Wood Domain.

The crowd off-stage was also full of shock, staring at Lu Changsheng with dumbfounded expressions.

Their eyes were full of disbelief.

Domain power, like divine abilities, becomes harder to cultivate the higher it goes.

Many Innate powerhouses struggle to reach minor accomplishment in their entire lives.

They didn't expect Lu Changsheng to have cultivated it to such an astonishing level shortly after breaking through to the Innate realm.

This was simply a freak.

Qin Ruobing and Fang Qing's siblings and others were full of excitement, clenching their fists tightly.

At this moment, a trace of confidence suddenly rose in their hearts; Lu Changsheng was probably really going to enter the finals.

"Haha... Brother Ke is going to lose."

Ji Wenrui was full of joy.

Seeing Dong Chenghan's Wood Domain being suppressed, he couldn't help but speak.

Being able to get a spiritual item for free still made him quite happy.

"The Wood Domain has quite powerful vitality; Lu Changsheng might not be able to break it."

Ke Yanfeng waved his hand, his face calm.

In his view, although Lu Changsheng's Slaughter Domain had a slight upper hand, wanting to completely defeat Dong Chenghan would not be easy.

Ji Wenrui heard this and also put away his smile.

What the opponent said was true; if the two Lu Changsheng didn't handle it well, it might end in a draw.

Even he thought that relying solely on domain power, it was difficult to break Dong Chenghan.

The three masters above the high platform also had different thoughts.

Luo Tianxiang frowned, a trace of gloom appearing in his eyes.

He didn't expect Lu Changsheng to be able to gain the upper hand.

He had already labeled the opponent as being under Qin Chaoyang's command, so he naturally wouldn't have a good expression.

Qin Chaoyang, however, smiled faintly, quite proud.

His discerning eyes had judged it before the battle started.

Di Zhiyu, to the side, also showed surprise.

According to the current situation, Lu Changsheng had a sixty percent chance of winning.

Just as there was frantic discussion on the field, the battle on the arena erupted again.

"Kill."

Seeing the Wood Domain gradually disintegrating, Dong Chenghan couldn't sit still anymore.

He raised the blue long sword in his hand and stabbed forward violently.

Under the full eruption of divine ability power and Innate Qi, his momentum suddenly soared by a large margin.

Brilliant sword light flickered at the tip of the sword, emitting bursts of whistling sounds, extremely sharp.

His divine ability 'Wood Sword Technique' had been cultivated to minor accomplishment, and combined with the Wood Domain, its power soared even more.

The combination of the two was also his confidence in roaming the Great Zhou.

After all, people who could perfectly match divine abilities with domains were very few.

This was also his "Dao".

"Slash."

Lu Changsheng saw this and didn't hesitate to draw the Golden Brilliant Blade, slashing forward quickly.

"Clatter..."

The dazzling blade light descended from the sky, as if a heavenly river were falling into the human world, the surrounding mist surging, carrying a terrifying aura.

In this strike, he also didn't hold back, stimulating the divine ability 'Slaughter Demon Annihilation Slash' to the limit.

This small divine ability was formed by the panel merging countless skills, so its power went without saying.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

In an instant, the weapons of both sides collided.

A heaven-shaking loud noise came, violent gales swept in all directions, dust and smoke rolled, and the ground felt as if it were shaking.

The crowd nearby also felt their cheeks stinging from the gale, full of horror, and hurriedly stimulated their Qi to block.

Afterward, the group hurriedly looked at the situation of the battle on stage.

"Crack..."

Dong Chenghan's surrounding domain suddenly collapsed, as if it were a mirror, turning into bursts of spiritual energy gale that swept outward. His whole body also retreated more than ten meters, arriving at the back of the arena, his right hand trembling uncontrollably.

"Such a strong slaughter divine ability."

Dong Chenghan was full of horror, and a slaughter will seemed to want to freeze his soul, making him very uncomfortable.

He never expected that Lu Changsheng would also have a slaughter divine ability perfectly matched with domain power.

With the two superimposed, he was completely suppressed.

Now, even if he wanted to fight to a draw, it would be very difficult to do.

Lu Changsheng, on the other hand, stood firmly in place, like a mountain, difficult to be shaken in the slightest.

A powerful aura permeated the entire field.

After one strike, the difference was clear.

Lu Changsheng occupied the absolute upper hand.

And the aftermath of the battle between the two directly shattered the opponent's Wood Domain.

"What a terrifying blade."

The crowd around was full of shock.

Lu Changsheng's blade seemed to want to freeze everyone's soul; they couldn't even raise a trace of a feeling of resistance.

Ordinary Innate powerhouses were just there to be slaughtered.

"Ten thousand victories, ten thousand victories."

Many Qingning Prefecture martial artists began to cheer, the momentum heaven-shaking.

In this battle, Lu Changsheng was clearly steady.

Next, as the crowd expected, Lu Changsheng seized the opportunity and rushed up again.

Under the operation of his footwork divine ability, he turned into streaks of afterimages, traveling on the arena.

With a wave of his hand, blade light crisscrossed wantonly; the entire stage was full of blade light and ghost shadows.

Endless blade light surrounded Dong Chenghan, like a giant fishing net, and the opponent was the prey struggling in the net.

And this giant net was gradually shrinking.

Dong Chenghan sublimated to the extreme, struggling to block, and his Wood Domain was stimulated to the limit.

The long sword danced in his hand, and sword Qi soared to the sky.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

On the field, energy cut wantonly; even the bricks on the ground began to collapse, rolling up layers of smoke and clouds.

For a time, even the crowd couldn't see the situation of the battle inside clearly.

Everyone was looking forward to who would win and who would lose.

As time passed.

Dong Chenghan became increasingly anxious; for the first time, he felt what despair was.

Lu Changsheng not only exceeded him in attack but also completely crushed him in speed.

"Could Lu Changsheng have also cultivated his speed divine ability to minor accomplishment?"

"What kind of freak is this?"

Dong Chenghan struggled to block while roaring frantically in his heart.

He really couldn't figure out who had the time to keep up with two divine abilities, blade technique and speed, at the same time.

Except for some Holy Sons and God Sons with astonishing bloodlines.

But Lu Changsheng clearly didn't rely on bloodline power; it was all his own cultivation.

This was too terrifying.

In the distance, Ke Yanfeng's eyes were full of solemnity; he also felt a serious threat from Lu Changsheng.

Both attack power and speed were top-tier; this was already standing in an invincible position.

Even he would find it very tricky if he encountered him.

Ji Wenrui, to the side, was gnawing on a chicken leg, a trace of a smile always on his face.

It seemed he only cared about his chicken leg and the bet; the outcome didn't matter at all.

Qin Chaoyang's eyes also revealed a trace of surprise.

The surprises Lu Changsheng brought him were increasing more and more.

"Haha... the Marquis has a discerning eye."

Di Zhiyu smiled and complimented.

According to the situation on the field, Lu Changsheng clearly had the victory in his grasp.

He congratulated him in advance.

Only Luo Tianxiang, to the side, had a gloomy face and didn't say a word.

……

Time passed.

Half an hour later.

Dong Chenghan was already in precarious danger, like a lonely boat swaying in a storm.

If this continued, he would definitely lose; he could only fight with his life.

"Ah..."

He immediately roared and stimulated his life-blood essence.

His aura soared by a notch.

Then he stabbed forward with his sword, like a star falling into the human world, its momentum extremely fierce.

He wanted to decide the winner in one move.

Divine ability and domain plus a drop of blood essence had already reached his limit.

"Break for me."

Lu Changsheng also slashed forward with full force.

His blood and Qi burned rapidly, and a pillar of essence smoke shot straight into the sky.

The sharp blade light flickered at the tip of the blade, as if to cut through everything.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

In an instant, the two collided.

A huge roar resounded through the clouds, and a wave spread toward the surroundings, blowing the crowd nearby until they were staggering.

Pfft...

Dong Chenghan spat out a mouthful of blood, flew backward more than ten meters, and landed on the brick ground.

Wherever his footsteps passed, there were small pits.

His face was extremely pale; he had already suffered serious injuries.

Although he poured the force into the ground, he was still shaken by Lu Changsheng and injured his internal organs.

"I lost."

A trace of loss appeared in Dong Chenghan's eyes.

He had roamed for decades, and this was the first time he had lost so miserably.

"We will fight again next year; next time I will definitely win."

After a few breaths, Dong Chenghan's face was firm, and he turned and walked slowly toward the back, his footsteps becoming increasingly steady.

In this battle, he was completely convinced.

Great Zhou really had heavens beyond heavens, and there were Heavenly Prides with even stronger talent.

This battle was also his greatest harvest.

The crowd around watched Dong Chenghan's departing figure and remained silent.

If such a powerhouse hadn't encountered Lu Changsheng, he probably wouldn't have lost so miserably.

No one dared to mock him.

This was enough to prove how terrifying Lu Changsheng was at this moment.

The opponent also had a great possibility of winning the championship.

Lu Changsheng listened to Dong Chenghan's words and didn't speak.

He never cared about defeated opponents.

Next time, he might be a master, and the gap between the two would only widen infinitely.

Just then.

"Roar, roar, roar..."

The Fortune Flood Dragon above Lu Changsheng's head began to surge violently.

Massive fortune was stripped from the top of Dong Chenghan's head and gathered toward Lu Changsheng.

The cyan flood dragon in his mouth frantically absorbed the fortune, and its body was rapidly expanding.

"Sixteen zhang."

"Seventeen zhang."

……

It didn't stop until it grew to nineteen zhang.

Lu Changsheng felt his own fortune change, and his mind became increasingly clear.

His understanding of divine ability and domain power also became increasingly thorough.

The crowd around saw this and all looked at Lu Changsheng with awe.

Lu Changsheng, after defeating Dong Chenghan, initially had the power of invincibility.

Everyone discovered that in this Ten Thousand Flower Fruit Gathering, Lu Changsheng actually had no defeats, pushing everything flat all the way.

It made people feel shocked.

Qin Ruobing and the others were also full of joy.

They felt honored.

Not far away, Ji Wenrui smiled: "Bring it here."

He was quite proud; his bet was correct.

He was also looking forward to fighting Lu Changsheng.

Having laid low for many years, he was looking forward to an opponent of sufficient weight.

Lu Changsheng was barely qualified.
