Chapter 1076: Defeating Chen Zhu Xuan

The two brand-new, resplendent Tian Zhu that had suddenly appeared on Li Luo directly drew countless exclamations from the entire arena. Chen Zhu Xuan had broken through on the spur of the moment, but where did Li Luo's surging power come from?

Could this be the power of some kind of spirit beast recorded on the Fenghua Ranking that Li Luo possessed? But using such power on this occasion should be a foul, right?

A great commotion rose up.

And at this moment, at the highest point, the two vice-principals of Tianyuan Ancient Academy, Wu Yu and Qing Man, were also watching the arena. Their calm gazes swept across the field and came to rest on Li Luo.

With the strength of two king-level existences, they naturally saw through at a glance that Li Luo's surging power was not external, but came from himself.

"His phase force contains 'Origin Qi,' and that is a power only accessible at the Tian Xiang Jing level." Vice-Principal Qing Man smiled faintly and said, "This little fellow really does have quite a few trump cards."

Vice-Principal Wu Yu's expression remained unchanged. He glanced at the clamorous stands, and his bland voice rang out in everyone's ears: "Do not disturb the match."

Hearing Vice-Principal Wu Yu's voice, the many doubts immediately died down. Since even the king-level powerhouse presiding over the match had not declared Li Luo in violation at this moment, that meant Li Luo's two suddenly surging Tian Zhu did not originate from external power.

In that case, was it a boost from his own Mi Fa?

This made quite a few people's hearts tremble slightly. No wonder Li Luo was able to leave his name on the Fenghua Ranking; these methods and trump cards truly keep emerging one after another.

And while the outside world was marveling, Chen Zhu Xuan, who was facing Li Luo directly, was enraged to the extreme by his words. In his eyes, although Li Luo had indeed slain a Xiao Tian Xiang Jing level enemy in the Lingxiang Cave Heaven, that was not his own strength, so what was there to be arrogant about?

"Using a Mi Fa to temporarily boost phase force, so you've reached the Seven Star Tian Zhu Jing level?"

Chen Zhu Xuan slowly tightened his grip on the heavy halberd in his hand. At this moment, no referee had yet kicked Li Luo out, which meant the power of his two Tian Zhu originated from himself, so it must be some special Mi Fa.

However, Chen Zhu Xuan himself was currently in the midst of breaking through, his own phase force continuously increasing, which also caused his confidence to swell boundlessly.

Even if Li Luo had used a Mi Fa to boost himself to Seven Star Tian Zhu Jing, so what? The current Chen Zhu Xuan was at Xiao Tian Xiang Jing!

Chen Zhu Xuan stood in mid-air. Azure wind whistled between heaven and earth, the wind sounds fierce and biting, then transforming into countless azure wind blades that circled around him. As he advanced into Tian Xiang Jing, his own phase nature became increasingly attuned to the wind-attribute energy between heaven and earth.

However, Li Luo paid no attention to Chen Zhu Xuan's display. He merely felt the surging phase force flowing within his body, and that sense of immense power left him quite satisfied.

With the cultivation of recent days, the "Origin Qi" condensed from those five "Origin Golden Seals" within the Water Light Phase Palace had also grown stronger, so this fusion's enhancement was even more formidable than when Li Luo had fought in the Sha Mo Cave.

Majestic phase force whistled around Li Luo. The phase force displayed three attributes, sometimes merging, sometimes clearly distinct, giving an extremely mysterious visual sensation.

"Three phase natures..." Lu Ming stared at this scene, her gaze rather complex. She had known of Li Luo's three-phase information beforehand, but the shock of seeing it in person was still greater.

In the Holy Grail War, she remembered Li Luo still only possessed dual phases, but now, more than a year later, Li Luo had given birth to yet another phase.

Such a heaven-defying talent—no wonder he had risen to prominence even here in the Inner Shenzhou.

Li Luo did not waste words with Chen Zhu Xuan at this moment. All the phase force within his body whistled out. First, two streams of phase force merged into dual-phase power, then a third stream of phase force circled around the outside, providing a slight amplification.

Then the Dragon Elephant Blade in his hand slashed straight down toward the front.

Boom!

The void was split open at this moment. From within came the sound of dragon roars and surging water. The next instant, a Heihe radiating endless cold air rushed out from the rift in the void. The river water rolled up into giant waves, and a black dragon burst from the water, letting out a roaring dragon cry.

Great Perfection Stage · Black Dragon Dark Water Banner!

The black dragon's eyes swirled with fierce light, vivid and lifelike. Its dragon mouth sucked in, directly swallowing the pitch-black river water into its belly. Immediately, its dragon claws and dragon scales all became darker and deeper, and a corrosive intent flowed over its sharp dragon claws, adding several points of might to this black dragon.

Because his phase force had become more majestic, the might of this Great Perfection Stage Black Dragon Dark Water Banner that Li Luo now executed was several points stronger than before.

The black dragon tore through the sky. Its dragon claws, swirling with corrosive resonance, resembled a black cloud as it pressed down directly onto Chen Zhu Xuan's head.

Chen Zhu Xuan flicked a finger, and the countless azure wind blades circling around him whistled out, slashing toward the black dragon.

However, the moment these azure wind blades touched the dragon claws, they were melted away by the corrosive resonance flowing over them.

"A Great Perfection Stage Marquis-grade Art?!"

Chen Zhu Xuan's gaze darkened slightly. This kind of special resonance could only be possessed by a Great Perfection Stage Marquis-grade Art. This Li Luo really did have some skill.

Chen Zhu Xuan formed a seal with one hand, while the heavy halberd in his other hand suddenly swung, sweeping up countless azure wind blades.

"Marquis-grade Art, Wind Roc Sky-Splitting Wings!"

Accompanying Chen Zhu Xuan's furious shout, the wind blades filling the sky gathered together, forming a pair of azure wings roughly a thousand zhang in size, emanating an extremely sharp aura.

The thousand-zhang azure wings slashed down violently, like two heavenly blades, hacking directly at the roaring black dragon.

Boom!

The azure wings cut across the void, bringing up a massive air wave, and the clouds were sliced clean in two.

Then the two Marquis-grade Arts, both of tremendous power, slammed into each other viciously.

Sizzle sizzle!

A piercing energy shock wave shrieked out, and the mountain forests below were flattened patch by patch, countless towering trees uprooted.

Lu Ming, Deng Zhu, and the others, who were currently in fierce battle with the Lingdao Holy Academy team, were also caught in the blast and had no choice but to gather their phase force to protect themselves.

Boom boom boom boom!

In just a brief moment, the black giant dragon and the azure wings hacked at each other over a hundred times. With every collision, both sides suffered damage.

The azure wings kept shattering, countless azure feathers falling off and turning into points of energy light, while the dragon scales covering the black dragon's giant claws also began to show cracks.

Chen Zhu Xuan's Face Turns Solemn, yet a glint of joy appeared in his eyes. Li Luo's Great Perfection Stage Marquis-grade Art was indeed very powerful, but fortunately he had relied on his Xiao Tian Xiang Jing strength to execute a Marquis-grade Art and block it. And as long as he maintained this situation, he would inevitably begin to gain the upper hand.

After all, his current breakthrough had come naturally, while Li Luo was using a Mi Fa to amplify his phase force. This kind of Mi Fa was strong, but it had a time limit.

Therefore, although the current situation appeared to be a stalemate, in truth he was beginning to turn the tide.

And Chen Zhu Xuan's delight also fell into Li Luo's keen observation, and immediately a smile could not help but surface on Li Luo's face.

The next moment, he flicked a finger.

Roar!

The black dragon roared, its dragon mouth suddenly opening. A jet of pitch-black, icy-cold dragon breath whistled down, slamming directly into the azure wings.

Seeing this, Chen Zhu Xuan immediately counterattacked. As Qi Yin Fa shifted, countless sharp, piercing azure lights flew out from the azure wings and collided with the dragon breath.

Boom!

The instant the two collided, the dragon breath was easily torn apart.

But in that very instant the dragon breath was torn apart, before Chen Zhu Xuan could even heave a sigh of relief, the hair all over his body suddenly stood on end.

Because he sensed an extremely terrifying fluctuation surging forth from within the dragon breath.

Chen Zhu Xuan hurriedly cast his gaze over and saw, deep within the dragon breath, a deep blue Dragon Fang Sword with a slight curve, hovering quietly. The next instant, the Dragon Fang Sword descended amid the aftershock of the dragon breath.

Hum!

Between heaven and earth, it seemed as if a dragon's roar and a sword's keen cry fused into one.

That Dragon Fang Sword was simply too fast. A boundless chill rose in Chen Zhu Xuan's heart. He urged the enormous cyan feathered wings to meet it, while beneath his feet he seemed to tread raging wind, retreating at a terrifying speed.

Whoosh!

A streak of azure sword-light swept across the horizon.

The instant the cyan feathered wings made contact, they were split clean in two, and even among the mountain range below, a bottomless sword-scar appeared.

Boom!

The sword-light swept past and caught up with the retreating Chen Zhu Xuan in an instant. At this moment, his soul nearly fled his body; he could hardly imagine why that sword-light could be so fierce.

At this moment, his pupils reflected that sword-light which seemed capable of ignoring the distance of space, and a thick terror welled up in his heart.

This sword-light—was this Li Luo's true trump card all along?!

To actually be... this terrifying!

The thought flashing through his mind, Chen Zhu Xuan had no time to mount any defense before the sword-light pierced through every layer of phase-force defense around him and bored straight through.

Boom!

A mountaintop behind Chen Zhu Xuan slowly tilted and crumbled at this moment, and he himself was As If Struck Heavily, blood spraying wildly, his body like a bird with broken wings plunging headlong from the sky.

The place where he fell happened to be the battle circle between Lu Ming's group and the Spirit Blade Sacred Academy.

Bang!

And so, when the blood-soaked Chen Zhu Xuan slammed heavily into the ground, both sides of the clash involuntarily halted their attacks, gaze after gaze turning toward him with horror.

Chen Zhu Xuan, who had advanced into Xiao Tian Xiang Jing, had actually... failed?!

At the same time, outside the field, countless gazes that had been focused on this place also abruptly shifted.
