Chapter 171: Final Finals! Epiphany!

Ke Yanfeng's face was a bit gloomy; he reached his right hand into his bosom, took out a wooden box, and handed it over.

He didn't expect Lu Changsheng to have such strength; with his status, he wouldn't renege on the debt.

Ji Wenrui took the wooden box, his eyes quite proud.

He picked up the chicken leg in his hand and gnawed on it, even more happily.

The three above the high platform also had different expressions.

None of them expected Lu Changsheng to win so cleanly and neatly, suppressing Dong Chenghan with absolute strength.

This was completely opposite to their previous guesses.

Luo Tianxiang's face was a bit ugly; he only felt he had lost face. Just now he had analyzed with certainty that Lu Changsheng would lose; he didn't expect such an outcome in the blink of an eye.

Only Qin Chaoyang's face was full of smiles, his mood quite good.

The stronger Lu Changsheng's potential, the greater the help to him in the future.

According to the opponent's talent, in a few years, he would be a top master.

This moment was the right time to "invest" in the opponent.

Qin Chaoyang couldn't help but start praising Qin Ruobing in his heart; she had a discerning eye to discover a top Heavenly Pride in a remote corner.

Just as everyone had different thoughts.

An old man in black walked up.

He spoke loudly: "Next is the second battle, Ke Yanfeng versus Ji Wenrui."

The resonant voice resounded through the clouds, making the crowd off-stage feel pain in their eardrums.

As soon as the voice fell, the field instantly boiled over.

Everyone had been looking forward to this battle for a long time; it almost determined the ownership of the championship this time.

In everyone's hearts, whoever could win would likely win first place this time.

As for Lu Changsheng, he could at most only compete for second place with the loser; even many Qingning Prefecture martial artists thought so.

The group stared intently at Ke Yanfeng and the other, afraid of missing a single detail.

"Whoosh..."

At this time, Ke Yanfeng leaped and flew toward the high platform in front.

The wild wind billowed his white robe, making a piercing sound.

Not long after, he landed steadily in the center of the arena, and a domineering aura permeated the entire field.

It made the crowd off-stage feel a tightness in their chests, as if a giant mountain were pressing on their shoulders, making it difficult to breathe.

"Come and fight quickly."

Ke Yanfeng's eyes bloomed with divine light, his momentum domineering.

He had been waiting for this day for several years and was already impatient.

Today, he would prove before countless martial artists who was the strongest of this generation.

His name of invincibility was not relied upon by the Heavenly Secret Pavilion's ranking, but fought out with iron fists.

This was his martial path will.

Lu Changsheng stared quietly at Ke Yanfeng, feeling the opponent's momentum.

This person's strength definitely belonged to the top tier among many Heavenly Prides.

Dong Chenghan was clearly quite inferior compared to him.

However, with his strength, he had over a ninety percent chance of winning against the opponent.

Of course, this was assuming the opponent didn't hide his strength.

"Whoosh..."

Ji Wenrui kicked his legs and flew quickly toward the arena, his speed like a lightning bolt.

In the blink of an eye, he landed steadily opposite Ke Yanfeng, a trace of a cynical smile still on his face.

"Today you will definitely lose; I have laid low for many years just for this day."

Ji Wenrui put away his lazy state, his tone extremely solemn.

After his observations these days, among all the Heavenly Prides in the entire Ten Thousand Flower Fruit Gathering, no one was his opponent.

Including Ke Yanfeng and Lu Changsheng and the others.

He was very confident about this point.

Ke Yanfeng heard this and smiled faintly: "Just relying on your Yang Domain?"

"Then let's see if my Gold Domain is more domineering, or if your Yang Domain is stronger."

Ji Wenrui's confidence made him quite curious.

Who gave the opponent the courage to suppress him.

While speaking.

Ke Yanfeng's Innate Qi erupted suddenly, and a sharp golden light shot straight into the sky, then spread rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, it covered a radius of four miles.

The square near the entire arena fell into a golden ocean.

The crowd around hurriedly retreated, full of horror.

"This is a three-tenths Gold Domain?"

Just this domain power alone was something they couldn't resist.

The group didn't expect Ke Yanfeng to have quietly cultivated the Metal Domain to three tenths.

It was simply terrifying to the extreme.

Among the Five Elements, the metal attribute has the strongest attack power, indestructible.

Coupled with the opponent reaching the three-tenths realm, among the entire Ten Thousand Flower Fruit Gathering, his attack power was probably the strongest.

The name of first place was well-deserved.

Even Lu Changsheng was a bit surprised; this person's strength was quite good.

However, with his own three-tenths Slaughter Domain matched with divine abilities, his attack power was definitely above the opponent's.

He was looking forward to the two fighting to see who was the strongest spear.

Next, the group cast their eyes toward Ji Wenrui.

They all wanted to see how this person would respond.

"The Gold Domain is not bad; if the Five Elements were combined, I would concede on the spot. What a pity, what a pity..."

Ji Wenrui picked up the chicken leg in his hand, took a big bite, then took a sip of the spiritual wine at his waist, his face full of free and easy intent.

He didn't care about the oil stains on his mouth at all and was still commenting on Ke Yanfeng.

"Arrogant, I'll see how you break it?"

Ke Yanfeng's eyes turned cold.

Ji Wenrui's attitude completely angered him.

"Then watch carefully!"

Ji Wenrui smiled faintly.

Then his Innate Qi erupted suddenly, and a pillar of essence smoke shot straight into the clouds.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Red and blue rays of light spread rapidly around, soon reaching about four miles as well.

Just then, a sudden change occurred.

The entire domain instantly turned into a vast ocean, and a bright moon rose slowly from the seabed, carrying a suffocating momentum.

Immediately after.

A great sun suddenly appeared in the high sky, falling rapidly toward the sea surface, as if radiating infinite heat.

The bright moon rose, the great sun descended.

This phenomenon was terrifying to the extreme.

In just an instant, the bright moon and the great sun collided, instantly melting, turning into a black and white Taiji pattern.

A mysterious power suddenly permeated from the Taiji pattern, as if it had a magical Dao rhyme.

At this time, the crowd off-stage felt as if a giant mountain were pressing on their heads, and they were all horrified.

"Yin-Yang unity?"

Lu Changsheng's eyes also tightened.

He was a bit suspicious in his heart.

The three-tenths Yin-Yang Domain made him feel a trace of pressure for the first time.

This had never happened before; even Ke Yanfeng hadn't been in his eyes.

He didn't expect Ji Wenrui, ranked second, to still have a hidden trump card.

It looked like the opponent hadn't been comprehending the Yin-Yang Domain for a short time.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be so skillful.

The audience on the field also boiled over instantly.

"What a terrifying Yin-Yang Domain."

This kind of strength was enough to make any challenger despair.

Even Qin Chaoyang and the other three stood up from their seats, full of horror.

They were also losing their composure like this for the first time.

Even the battle where Lu Changsheng defeated Dong Chenghan didn't make them stand up.

"This person's talent is truly terrifying; the first person is already decided, without any suspense."

Di Zhiyu was solemn, a trace of cherishing talent rising in his eyes.

He urgently wanted to take the opponent as his true disciple.

This was simply the next invincible master.

Even Qin Chaoyang felt a bit of regret; Lu Changsheng probably had no chance.

He could only compete with Ke Yanfeng for second place.

Luo Tianxiang, to the side, flickered slightly.

Now he also wanted to take the opponent under his command.

The three were all planning secretly, preparing to speak to recruit him as soon as the Ten Thousand Flower Fruit Gathering ended.

On the arena.

Feeling his own domain completely suppressed, Ke Yanfeng was solemn.

He clenched his fists: "Having laid low for so many years, I didn't expect you to have already undergone a qualitative change."

"Wanting to defeat me is not that easy."

"Kill."

Ke Yanfeng struck first, punching forward.

Infinite golden light circled around his fist, as if a giant mountain were pushing forward, its momentum fierce and peerless.

Coupled with the spiritual weapon fist gloves in his hand, the momentum of this punch had already reached its limit.

"Slash." Ji Wenrui slashed forward with his blade.

"Clatter..."

The black and white blade body instantly erupted with brilliant radiance.

The blade light expanded rapidly, a full ten zhang long, like a heavenly river spanning the void, its momentum astonishing.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

In an instant.

The attacks of the two collided.

Violent energy swept in all directions, even the ground began to crack, and the entire arena was full of dust and smoke, a mess.

After one strike.

Ke Yanfeng retreated more than ten meters rapidly, and the surrounding domain began to shake violently, as if it would shatter at any time.

Even his right hand couldn't stop trembling, and strands of Innate Qi, like needles, attacked his body.

Ji Wenrui stood steadily in place, his face as calm as water.

Even his aura didn't have the slightest disturbance.

In their first battle, Ji Wenrui occupied the absolute upper hand.

This battle was probably steady.

Even the crowd off-stage could see it.

"Kill."

Ke Yanfeng was unwilling to fail; his Qi erupted to the extreme, and he rushed toward Ji Wenrui.

His martial path will absolutely didn't allow him to surrender without a fight.

At this moment, he only wanted to witness his own limit.

Ji Wenrui was not to be outdone and rushed up with his blade.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The two fought fiercely in the high sky.

Bursts of roaring sounds resounded through the clouds, and strands of gale swept in all directions, blowing the crowd until their cheeks stung.

The entire battlefield was full of blade light and fist shadows; only two afterimages could be seen traveling and intertwining in the void.

The battle situation became increasingly fierce.

Ke Yanfeng relied on a belief, sublimating to the extreme, to barely avoid being defeated.

Ji Wenrui, however, was unhurried, as if taking a leisurely stroll, firmly suppressing the opponent.

As time passed.

Ke Yanfeng clearly couldn't hold on anymore, and his aura slowly weakened.

Half an hour later.

"Slash."

Ji Wenrui seized a flaw in the opponent and slashed forward with full force.

"Clatter..."

The brilliant blade light seemed to want to cut through the void, its momentum fierce and peerless.

He wanted to decide the winner in one move.

"Break."

Ke Yanfeng's face was full of madness; after stimulating his blood essence, he punched forward.

The giant fist shadow, like a mountain peak, collided with the blade light in front.

Relying on the blood essence in his body, he had stimulated the 'Tyrant Emperor Fist' to the extreme.

"Rumble..."

A heaven-shaking loud noise came, the arena bricks collapsed in the energy, and the gale rolled up layers of smoke and clouds.

"Pfft..."

Ke Yanfeng spat out blood, then flew backward more than twenty meters, landing outside the arena.

"I lost."

A trace of loneliness appeared in his eyes.

From today on, the name of the first Heavenly Pride had to give way.

His invincible golden body was broken, and the blow to him was extremely huge.

This was the price of the invincible path; among the same batch of Heavenly Prides, only one could succeed.

Once the "golden body" was broken, he no longer had his past sharpness, and the power of his divine abilities would drop by a large margin.

Clearly, Ji Wenrui was the one who laughed last.

"Thank you for the courtesy."

On stage, Ji Wenrui smiled faintly.

Feeling his fortune growing frantically above his head made him quite happy.

He was also walking the invincible path; only today did he forge this "invincible" heart.

In this Ten Thousand Flower Fruit Gathering, he was bound to sweep away all Heavenly Prides.

To step onto that "throne".

"What a pity."

Qin Chaoyang and the other three looked at Ke Yanfeng, feeling some regret in their hearts.

Once the "Invincible Golden Body" was broken, he was practically crippled; from then on, he would only fall into self-doubt, making it very difficult to reach the ranks of the titans.

At the same time, Qin Chaoyang was a bit worried about Lu Changsheng.

As far as he knew, Lu Changsheng also seemed to have embarked on this invincible path.

Meeting this Ji Wenrui was the greatest tragedy for this batch of Heavenly Prides.

Everyone could only look up to Ji Wenrui.

Just then, a man in black robes walked up: "Ji Wenrui wins; do you want to hold the next battle immediately? The opponent will be Lu Changsheng."

He turned his head to look at Ji Wenrui.

According to the rules, one person could choose to fight one battle a day in the semi-finals.

"Fight again tomorrow."

Ji Wenrui smiled faintly.

Defeating Ke Yanfeng had also consumed quite a bit of Qi; he wasn't that arrogant.

If he capsized in the gutter and let his martial path heart be tarnished, the loss would be huge.

He had waited for several years for this day, so he didn't care about one more day.

Lu Changsheng heard this and immediately turned to leave.

He also had to make full preparations for tomorrow's battle.

This person's domain power was also a big challenge for him.

The crowd gave way one after another, revealing a long passage, watching Lu Changsheng go away quietly.

In their hearts, Ji Wenrui was destined to be first in this Ten Thousand Flower Fruit Gathering.

It would be better to concede now; struggling for one more day wouldn't change anything.

Even Fang Qing and many Qingning Prefecture martial artists were quite worried.

Qin Ruobing, not far away, had a look of wanting to speak but stopping; she was also worried about Lu Changsheng getting hurt and affecting his later ranking.

……

Not long after, Lu Changsheng returned to his own courtyard.

He sat upright on a chair, thinking carefully.

According to his own thoughts all along, a single path was absolutely the most suitable for him.

Just like the path of slaughter, cultivating to the limit could also be heaven-shaking.

Although the Five Elements unity and Yin-Yang unity were also astonishing in momentum.

But he had never thought about integrating slaughter intent into other things.

Slaughter is the purest slaughter.

There is no messy vitality or anything.

If you can't beat the enemy, it only proves that the Slaughter Domain is not fierce enough.

Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng's mind instantly became much clearer.

The influence brought by Ji Wenrui's Yin-Yang unity also completely dissipated.

At this time, he discovered that his soul began to shine brightly, and his understanding of slaughter was also rapidly improving.

Magical fluctuations began to emanate around his entire body, the Slaughter Domain spread naturally, and endless blood-colored mist surrounded Lu Changsheng.

A powerful bloody slaughter aura permeated the entire field.

A moment later.

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes slowly, a ray of essence piercing the void.

"Is this an epiphany?"

He was stunned.

He didn't expect his firmness toward the path of slaughter to trigger a not-so-small epiphany.

This also proved that his own talent was increasing, and the fortune of the human race was heaven-defying.

Lu Changsheng couldn't wait to open the panel.

A blue light screen appeared in the void.

Slaughter Domain: Four tenths.

Seeing this change, his face was full of joy; this domain improvement again would increase his own strength by several tenths.

He had a ten-tenths certainty for tomorrow's battle against Ji Wenrui.

He wanted to powerfully suppress Ji Wenrui before thousands of martial artists.

"Yin-Yang unity? I'll suppress it all the same!"

Lu Changsheng wanted to step on the shoulders of all Heavenly Prides and step onto the invincible path.

At this moment, the scorching flame in his heart suddenly erupted, unstoppable.

At the same time.

The news about Lu Changsheng's decisive battle with Ji Wenrui tomorrow also instantly spread.

Countless martial artists stimulated their communication talismans one after another, soon spreading the news throughout the entire Great Zhou.

The news about Ji Wenrui's Yin-Yang unity domain also exploded throughout the entire Great Zhou.

Everyone gathered in Yunzhou, wanting to witness this battle.

For a time, Yunzhou City was surging with wind and clouds, becoming increasingly lively.
