"Impossible! He’s only just entered True Monarch Perfection, and his Spirit Mark isn’t even nine feet—how could he solidify it?"

"This is the law of the Spirit Realm and spirit rivers—how could he defy it?"

"Unbelievable. Even with a Spirit Mark nine feet long, it still needs to be accumulated and refined before it can truly solidify, to cross the barrier between True Monarch and Shen Xiao..."

"What a terrifying sense of sealing!"

"Xiao Ming was caught off guard and actually got locked down."

...

Exclamations surged like tides, filling the void between heaven and earth. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Above, the five Celestials wore varied expressions, all showing astonishment in their eyes.

Xiao Ming is locked!

In just an instant.

Divine light surged in his eyes, his body glittered like jade, radiating dazzling multicolored brilliance!

His Spirit Mark also appeared from thin air, eight feet nine inches!

The Heaven Locking power of the Spirit Mark was shattered in an instant!

But in that moment, Xu Yang had already channeled all the power of the Life Fire Elixir, merging it with the Spirit Fire storm to strike.

Boom!

A terrifying ancient Evil Qi burst forth like a dragon beast, roaring skyward.

The world twisted, shattering the sky, waves rolled and crashed like a mad tsunami.

Xiao Ming’s whole body shuddered, the multicolored giant palm was torn apart in an instant.

The ancient might of Evil Qi swept toward him, making his mind falter for a split second.

He seemed to hear countless strong warriors shouting, roaring!

With ancient grandeur, an indescribable impact power.

His Sea of Consciousness shook, his heart and mind warped!

Everyone stared blankly, their eyes widened, beads of sweat rolling unnoticed.

Boom!

The Evil Qi tornado struck Xiao Ming fiercely.

Bang!

Xiao Ming staggered back in humiliation, letting out a muffled groan.

In a split second.

The Five Elements Spirit Power flooded the world, endless, vast and magnificent.

Its momentum was ferocious, like godly wrath over the land; Spiritual Qi boiled, countless Five Elements spirit patterns appeared densely around, weaving in all directions, like a colossal cage enveloping the peak of Ancient Dragon Mountain.

The hearts of countless Celestial talents went still, their bodies shook violently!

Even Chen Xuanji couldn’t resist this world-shaking oppression!

The towering figure enveloped in color seemed utterly invincible!

Bang!

The sky-full Evil Qi was shattered instantly, torn to pieces.

Multicolored brilliance glowed like clear light, driving off darkness, claiming every inch of heaven and earth.

Xiao Ming, basked in this glow, was like a blazing sun in the sky—endless radiance, unstoppable force!

At this moment, he was wholly jade-like, crystal clear.

One could see the blood and bones inside his body—simply transcendent, frightening as an immortal.

Xu Yang’s heart trembled, shock in his gaze.

"The transformation brought by the Five Elements Spirit God!"

"This guy’s true power... might be closing in on Shen Xiao."

Xu Yang recalled that Shi Feng had once told him about the ’Five Elements Spirit God’—his heart sank, but he quickly slashed away that hint of discouragement!

He faced Xiao Ming’s domineering eyes without fear.

"Xiao Ming! Xiao Ming is actually coughing blood."

Exclamations rang out abruptly.

Next came the sounds of many people nervously swallowing.

Xiao Ming, noble beyond compare, now had a trail of fresh blood at the corner of his mouth.

He’d taken damage from Xu Yang’s previous attack!

Even coughed blood!

This was simply unbelievable.

For Xiao Ming to be wounded?

Ever since Xiao Ming’s rise, he had dominated the Celestial Pride List first place!

No one had ever been able to shake him!

Before Xu Yang entered the Spirit Realm, countless Celestial talents challenged Xiao Ming, hoping to dethrone him.

But not one succeeded.

Every challenge ended in utter defeat!

Xiao Ming had never been hurt!

But today, this myth was shattered!

"Xu Yang, you’ve really shocked me."

"For a Spirit Mark of eight feet six inches to solidify—if you had nine feet now, even I wouldn’t be able to break your Spirit Mark’s sealing power!"

Xiao Ming licked the blood from his lips, excitement flashing in his eyes: "For you to injure me—in the entire Spirit Realm, as far as I’m concerned, you are the strongest Celestial under me!"

When he finished speaking, the whole place fell silent!

Chen Xuanji’s lips trembled, yet his throat was dry, something choking his voice!

If he asked himself honestly—if it were him, he’d probably have been gravely wounded or even killed by that last strike!

"However, now it’s my turn."

"I hope you still have some hidden cards!"

Xiao Ming grinned, his aura skyrocketing, shaking the heavens.

Spirit light around him flared, bursting like fireworks, blazing, dazzling!

From afar, the peak of Ancient Dragon Mountain was almost like a blazing multicolored sun, its radiance spreading for thousands of miles!

In everyone’s senses, Xiao Ming no longer seemed like just a True Monarch!

He was more terrifying than most Shen Xiao powerhouses!

He raised his palm slowly, fingers pointed like a sword!

Buzz!

Strands of five-colored spiritual light burned and flowed into his fingers.

The finger’s glow was so sharp it almost devoured heaven and earth!

Space around his fingertip cracked inch by inch, yet was forcibly held together, unable to completely shatter!

"Xu Yang is finished!"

"I refuse to believe he has any means left to withstand Xiao Ming!"

...

"Wound him!"

Men Long bit her lip, hatred drowning out her shock. She stared at Xu Yang, wishing for Xiao Ming’s finger to crush him.

That kind of scene would be just too satisfying!

Jun Baimu was thinking the same.

Xu Yang looked at Xiao Ming, grinned.

"I concede!"

The mountain peak fell deathly silent; even a pin drop was audible!

Everyone was dumbfounded!

Though they understood, Xu Yang had displayed such awe-inspiring strength at first.

Facing Xiao Ming’s first direct attack, he didn’t even try to resist?

There was still plenty of time left.

This had only lasted a few dozen breaths so far!

What’s he rushing for?

The Celestial talents felt unbearably frustrated.

They had wanted to watch a grand feast, but just when the delicious food touched their lips, it turned out to be an illusion, the delicacy transforming into vomit-inducing filth!

Xiao Ming’s aura surged wildly, his finger glow trembled—its power scattered, space around split further inch by inch.

His face turned unspeakably ugly.

Like the sickening feeling of swallowing shit!
