Chapter 646: Chapter 344: The Melting Snow of Ice State, the Catastrophe of Ling Domain_2
Fu Tianhai expresses some regrets.
Emperor Da Zhou sneers at him and says, "Xu Yan is already a strong man. His mindset has long changed. People like Hu Bubai are seen as juniors in his eyes. He is too lazy to kill them.
"Furthermore, Xu Yan doesn't have a grudge against the Thousand Martial Hall, does he? Even if there were disagreements in the past, he should have vented his anger by now. He's already at the pinnacle of the Spirit Realm.
"He's not like certain people who take pleasure in bullying juniors."
Fu Tianhai rolls his eyes and says, "I just want to watch the show. It will be interesting to see if the shameless guys of the Thousand Martial Hall will open that illusory bridge after suffering a big loss."
Emperor Da Zhou couldn't be bothered to argue with him.
"Senior Brother Xu, why didn't you kill those guys from the Thousand Martial Hall?"
On the Evergreen Pavilion's Flying Ship, Meng Shushu curiously asks.
"In my eyes, they are already juniors. Killing them would be pointless."
Xu Yan shakes his head and replies.
Meng Shushu: ...
Is this the mindset of the strong?
Or should I say, Xu Yan has the initial mindset of a superior being?
"It's my turn to make a move!"
Meng Chong grins, sword in hand, and instantly arrives at the battlefield.
Boom!
As soon as he lands, he transforms into a nine-foot-tall golden body, covered with indestructible divine armor, as if a god has descended from above, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.
"I am Meng Chong, known as Daozun, a proud son of the Spirit Sect. Dare you to fight me?"
Such an awe-inspiring aura shocks everyone watching.
"It's Meng Chong!"
"He's so strong. Who do you think is stronger, Meng Chong or Xu Yan?"
"Definitely Xu Yan!"
A man strides out from the Lei Yun Mountain Manor, a purple hammer in his hands. Thunderclouds swirl around him and, as he steps forward, the sound of thunder echoes from above.
Thunder and lightning surge, brewing a storm.
"Let me test the might of Daozun!"
"You go ahead!"
Meng Chong replies indifferently.
Boom!
A furious storm of lightning follows his hammer blow, pouring down and engulfing Meng Chong's massive body.
When the lightning vanished, Meng Chong still stood proudly, grinning, "Just average, it merely felt a bit itchy. Since you attack with thunder, take my Fist of Windstorm!"
With that, he punched out.
The Fist of Windstorm roared out. Despite the opponent's continuous wielding of his divine artifact, he was helpless against the might of that singular punch.
Boom!
The proud son of Lei Yun Mountain Manor is defeated!
Without surprise, in the heated contest between the proud sons, Xu Yan came out first, Meng Chong second, and Su Lingxiu third.
By the time Fang Hao took to the field, the proud sons of the Transcendent Spirit Sect had already made their moves one by one. This was about the rule over the Spirit Sect and associated with the pattern of the Spirit Realm.
The unique martial arts had, for the first time, truly made a powerful appearance in the Spirit Realm. Once the unique weapons box was opened, thousands of swords flew out and a razor-sharp knife light covered the sky and earth, reversing directions. The formation trapped one opponent after another.
Watching the great battle in the arena, the Thousand Martial Lord, Niu Qiansheng, the proud son of Lei Yun Mountain Manor, and the proud son of the Yuling Mansion made their moves, yet they were helplessly unable to do anything to Fang Hao and even got trapped themselves.
Now, the Transcendent Spirit Sect couldn't sit still anymore.
"What kind of martial arts is this?"
"Fang Hao is extraordinary. We, the Transcendent Spirit Sect, fail to do anything about it."
"Does it mean we have to accept that the All Ages Alliance would break the pattern of the Spirit Realm and Spirit Sect?"
The Thousand Martial Lord and others discussed in deep voices.
"Summon the respected one!"
The Thousand Martial Lord coldly ordered.
"Isn't this rash?"
Lord Lei Yun asked, frowning.
"Once the Divine Bridge is activated, there will be judgement. Why should we call upon the respected one now?"
Yuling Mansion Master also said gravely.
"Are you really going to let them enter that place?"
The Thousand Martial Lord angrily asked.
Lord Lei Yun and the Yuling Mansion Master fell silent.
After a long while, Lord Lei Yun sighed, "It's been too long since anyone's been in that place. How much good fortune could still be there? Even if they do enter, what can they possibly achieve?"
"Indeed!"
The Yuling Mansion Master nodded.
"As you wish!"
Upon seeing this, the Thousand Martial Lord snorted and left with a wave of his sleeve.
Seeing this, Lord Lei Yun and the Yuling Mansion Master also returned to their respective camps.
"Lord, what now?"
The elders of the Thousand Martial Hall gathered to ask.
"They refused to invite the venerable presence!"
The Thousand Martial Lord gritted his teeth and snorted coldly.
"That's it?"
The elders of the Thousand Martial Hall resentfully said.
"They didn't invite, we Thousand Martial Hall will. Xu Yan, Meng Chong, Fang Hao, these people must die!"
The Thousand Martial Lord spoke with murderous intent.
"You all prepare. I, Thousand Martial Hall, will invite the venerable presence!"
The Thousand Martial Lord commanded solemnly.
"Yes, Lord!"
The elders of the Thousand Martial Hall responded in unison.
The decisive battle of the Proud Sons of Heaven is being conducted fiercely. Using the mysterious martial arts, Fang Hao defeated one after the other of the Transcendent Spirit Sect's Proud Sons of Heaven, ranking him fourth in the battle of the boastful sons.
The powerful figures of the Transcendent Spirit Sect, one by one, looked upset, while the Thousand Martial Hall was preparing to pit Fang Hao, Xu Yan, Meng Chong, and Su Lingxiu against each other to determine the final rankings.
However, when facing Xu Yan, Meng Chong, and Su Lingxiu, Fang Hao directly conceded.
There will be no battles within the top four, so the Proud Sons of Heaven from the Spirit Sect are preparing to fight for the fifth place.
Then, Red Cat stepped onto the stage.
The overpowering might of the Great Demon and the demonstrations of the Demon Clan's major techniques defeated one Proud Son of Heaven after another, even defeating the undefeated Hu Bubai.
All the fighters of the Spirit Sect looked upset.
Not one of the top five on the Proud Sons of Heaven list belonged to the Spirit Sect!
The subsequent battles of the Proud Sons of Heaven competition became normal, with intense competition among the Sons of Heaven.
Xie Lingfeng also stepped onto the stage.
Du Yuying, Yun Miaomiao, and Zi Yun also consecutively took the stage, and all eventually ranked in the top one hundred.
While the competition was ongoing, the preparations for the summoning of the Venerable were underway. But far outside of Hongzhou, a dramatic change was taking place in Ice State, one of the eighteen states of Ling Domain.
The original site of the Quiet Snow Palace had turned into a black cave.
A warm but not scorching energy was continuously flowing out from the black cave, spreading across the entire Ice State.
Ice and snow could no longer be seen in Ice State at this moment, all the accumulated snow had melted.
The entirety of Ice State had started to warm up.
As the massive amounts of ice and snow in Ice State melted, large amounts of water flowed out from Ice State. The first to suffer was the neighboring Yun State.
Boundless water came rolling from Ice State, an impending crisis was quietly looming.
This was a crisis for the entire Ling Domain!
Renowned strongmen from Yun State had all traveled to Hongzhou State to witness the grand event in the Spirit Realm.
The entire Spirit Realm was discussing the competition, waiting for news from the battle of Proud Sons of Heaven to see who would be crowned first and recognized as the first amongst them.
On a small river in Yun State bordering Ice State, several boats were floating, and dozens of martial artists were discussing the competition.
Rumble!
Suddenly, the rumbling sound came across, and the earth began to tremble.
"What's happening?"
A group of martial artists looked up in bewilderment.
"Quick, what is that?"
Suddenly, one of the martial artists pointed forward in horror.
Everyone looked up and saw that in the midst of the rumbling, a mountain in the distance had suddenly collapsed, and along with the collapse of the mountain, a terrifying rush of water was sweeping toward them!
This earth-shattering force horrified everyone.
"Run!"
An alarm was raised, and the martial artists on the boat all leaped into the air, fleeing towards the back.
Among these martial artists, some were Lesser Celestials, and others were Grandmasters.
However, facing such a terrifying flood, they all felt a chill in their hearts.
Not just the area bordering Ice State, all the places bordering it were witnessing scenes of a cataclysmic flood. Even the Lesser Celestial martial artists, if they were a bit slow to escape, were instantly engulfed by the flood, disappearing into the rolling torrent.
"Escape quickly!"
In a large city, everyone was horrified.
The martial artists with a level above Lesser Celestials had just enough time to grab their weaker family members and soar into the sky to escape into the distance.
Boom!
The city collapsed and was engulfed by the flood.
Those who didn't escape quickly enough all vanished into the flood. Even Great Celestials, if trapped in the flood, were in extreme danger.
"What's going on?"
"Everyone run, I'll try to hold back the flood for a while!"
In one of the cities, a few Celestial Refinements exploded into the sky, their energy bursting, intending to resist the onslaught of the flood, buying time to escape!
However, faced with the terrifying flood of such power as of heaven and earth, even a group of Celestial Refinements found it difficult to resist. After not too long, their energies were exhausted, leaving them faltering.
"We can't hold on any longer!"
"Why is this flood so terrifying? It seems to come from Ice State?"
Some of the Celestial Refinements rose to the clouds to avoid the flood and went to investigate the source of the flood.
In a short period of time, Yun State was flooded, with heavy casualties. It looked like a human inferno, the bustling scenes were gone, martial artists who had lost their loved ones were all stunned, watching this scene in disbelief.
However, the flood didn't stop there; the enormous flood was heading for Da Ze State.
