Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Jun Wuxie and the Martial Hall Master returned to the ranking competition venue late at night.

Although Ling Wuse was a little surprised that they had been gone for so long, he didn't ask what they had been doing.

Soon after, Mu Ciyin pulled Jun Wuxie away.

Mu Ciyin restrained her own aura and wore a veil. Apart from the people beside her, no one recognized her identity.

"Esteemed Teacher Ciyin, do you want this disciple to accompany you to admire the moon?"

Jun Wuxie held her hand and looked at the bright moon in the night sky.

"You, when did you become so improper?"

Mu Ciyin broke free from his hand and gently pinched his cheek, saying, "This teacher wants to talk to you about the affairs of those forces of the Azurewood Ancient Aristocratic Family."

She said that after Jun Wuxie and the Martial Hall Master left, she released her divine sense to track and sense those people, and found that they were meeting with the Supreme Realm experts of the Soul Hunting Sacred Hall.

"I thought they might collude with the Soul Hunting Sacred Hall. After all, this ranking competition has almost pushed them to the brink. As expected, it was just as I thought."

Jun Wuxie's eyes turned cold.

What kind of existence is the Soul Hunting Sacred Hall? It is something that everyone in the world hates.

If I'm not mistaken, in the halls of the Soul Hunting Sacred Hall, there are probably still the bones and skulls of the ancient bloodline holders from the Azurewood Ancient Aristocratic Family, the Lingyun Ancient Aristocratic Family, the Mirage Marsh, and the Teng Snake Tribe.

All the forces in the world have suffered from the Soul Hunting Sacred Hall for a long time!

They are just afraid to speak out because of the Soul Hunting Sacred Hall's powerful strength.

Most importantly, on the surface, the Soul Hunting Sacred Hall exists to hunt down ancient bloodlines in the world, but in reality, it is the claw of the dark creatures in the Bright Universe.

The Soul Hunting Hall in the Lower Realm is like that, and he doesn't believe that the Soul Hunting Sacred Hall in the Upper Realm has no connection with darkness!

Whether it is the Soul Hunting Sacred Hall or the Heaven Purification Sacred Sect, these forces are very special. They are different from other forces. Every world at different cultivation civilization levels has their roots, and there is a close connection between them!

Although other forces also have backers in the higher-level world, they are only in a relationship of attachment and endorsement.

The relationship between the Soul Hunting Hall and the Heaven Purification Sect and their sects in the higher world is completely inherited from the same lineage.

"Later, the two Supreme Realm experts of the Soul Hunting Sacred Hall were led into the family by Qingmu Ran and entered a secret place. It was very close to their family's forbidden area. In order to avoid being detected by the Eternal Saint Realm experts of the Azurewood Ancient Aristocratic Family, this teacher didn't continue to spy. I don't know what they talked about, but it should be related to the second round of the ranking competition. Most likely, they want to deal with you."

"Is Esteemed Teacher Ciyin worried about this disciple?"

"How can I not be worried?" Mu Ciyin turned to look at the bright moon in the sky and sighed softly. Her clear and cold voice was as refreshing as a clear mountain spring, "Although you are a Ninth Realm Saint Talisman Master, if you use the Dao of Talismans in tomorrow's duel, it will be a violation of the rules and you will have no chance to rank in the competition; if you don't use the Dao of Talismans, with your martial cultivation at the initial stage of the Saint Sovereign Realm, it will probably be very difficult to cope, after all, those people and the Soul Hunting Sacred Hall don't know what kind of methods they will use."

"Esteemed Teacher Ciyin is just worried and confused. Teacher should always believe in this disciple."

"But..."

"No buts." Jun Wuxie pressed Mu Ciyin's charming red lips with his index finger and said, "Esteemed Teacher Ciyin is not allowed to doubt this disciple's ability."

The sensation on her lips stunned Mu Ciyin for a moment.

She didn't expect Jun Wuxie to make such a move. She slapped his hand away and said with a slightly reproachful voice, "You are really getting more and more disrespectful."

Jun Wuxie smiled nonchalantly, not answering, but secretly observing her micro-expressions.

He found that although Esteemed Teacher Ciyin used a reproachful tone to speak to him, there was no reproach in her eyes, and her emotions did not change because of it.

...

The next morning, when the sun climbed out of the clouds, the people from the Azurewood Ancient Aristocratic Family arrived. The leader was still Qingmu Ran, but all the high-level people beside him had changed. They were all unfamiliar faces.

About a quarter of an hour later, the people from the Lingyun Ancient Aristocratic Family also arrived.

Then, the people from the Mirage Marsh and the Teng Snake Tribe also arrived one after another.

Their King of Geniuses were all unfamiliar faces. The ones from yesterday were crippled, and the ones who came today were newly selected.

After these people arrived, Ling Wuse, the Martial Hall Master, and the Saintly Physician Sect Master stared at them closely, wanting to see some clues from them.

But they found that they couldn't see anything unusual at all.

But they didn't believe that these Kings of Geniuses had no problems. Otherwise, Qingmu Ran and others would never have brought them to humiliate themselves.

However, Jun Wuxie saw the secret in the bodies of those Kings of Geniuses.

Those people's bodies hid special secret techniques, a kind of blood-red law energy. Everyone was like that.

The means of planting the secret technique were very clever, hidden in the Star of Life, so it was difficult to see anything.

"They have been implanted with special secret techniques!"

Mu Ciyin also saw it. As a powerhouse in the Eternal Saint Realm, such methods could not escape her eyes.

"If the secret technique energy is released, it can increase their strength dozens of times. Because the secret technique will generate a protective barrier when activated, even if they release the power of the secret technique in a state of extreme sublimation, they can ensure that their bodies will not disintegrate as a result."

Mu Ciyin's eyes were a little cold. Without thinking, this must be the method of the Soul Hunting Sacred Hall.

Once the secret technique is activated, it is equivalent to allowing those Kings of Geniuses to improve by five or six minor realms, which is a very terrifying thing!

"The methods are indeed clever. These people's realms are already at the Extreme Heavenly Position. With the blessing of the secret technique, it is equivalent to reaching above the Perfection of the Saint Sovereign Extreme Heavenly Position, close to the level of a Half-Step Saint Ancestor."

Jun Wuxie had to admit that the Soul Hunting Hall's methods were clever, but doing so would cost those Kings of Geniuses an extremely heavy price.

He also didn't know how those Kings of Geniuses would agree.

Afterwards, not only will the grotto heavens of these Kings of Geniuses be fragmented, but the wheels of life will also be riddled with holes. They will age instantly, and their lifespans will be almost completely lost, and there will be no possibility of recovery. At most, they will linger for a few years.

In fact, whether it was the masters of those dominating forces or the Kings of Geniuses who had been implanted with special secret techniques, they had no idea that there would be such serious consequences.

Obviously, the Supreme Realm experts of the Soul Hunting Sacred Hall had deceived them, deliberately downplaying the price, with the purpose of using them to further test Jun Wuxie's depth.

The ridiculous thing was that those forces took the initiative to find the Supreme Realm experts of the Soul Hunting Sacred Hall, asking them to find a way to improve the strength of their Kings of Geniuses.

They and the Soul Hunting Sacred Hall had ulterior motives. They wanted to use the methods of the Soul Hunting Sacred Hall to eliminate powerful enemies, but they didn't expect the Soul Hunting Sacred Hall to treat them as cannon fodder.

"Yesterday, the Ling Demon Lord's team members showed great power in the ranking competition, and their glory was unparalleled for a time. Today, in this second round of duels, I wonder if the Spirit Demon Lord's people can continue their glory."

The Lingyun Family Master had a smile on his face and a gentle tone. He didn't seem to mind at all that his people were crippled yesterday.

Such magnanimity could not help but make some people who were watching the excitement feel very emotional. The Lingyun Family Master's mind was really commendable, showing the demeanor of the master of an ancient aristocratic family.

"Lingyun Family Master, you are too kind. How can glory be maintained forever? Today's battle between dragons and tigers, I think the glory should belong to the Lingyun Ancient Aristocratic Family, the Azurewood Ancient Aristocratic Family, the Mirage Marsh, and the Teng Snake Tribe. Wuxie, Qingyu, and Qingcheng are indeed talented, but I'm afraid they won't be the opponents of the Kings of Geniuses you have chosen. To be honest, this Demon Lord doesn't have any illusions about today's duel."

"Humph! Ling Wuse, are you deliberately looking for a way out for yourself in advance, knowing that you will be defeated?"

Qingmu Ran hated the Ling family line and Jun Wuxie and others to the bone. No matter what Ling Wuse's intention was in saying this, he would not give up the opportunity to ridicule him.

"Yes." Ling Wuse nodded very emotionally and said, "Azurewood Family Master, I am indeed a little pessimistic, mainly because I am afraid of being too high-profile now. If I lose, wouldn't it be a case of extreme joy turning into sorrow and losing face in public?"

"You!"

When Qingmu Ran heard this, he couldn't help but think of his experience yesterday. Blood appeared on his pale face, and he was very angry.

Everyone was stunned. At the beginning, they really thought that the Ling Demon Lord was looking for a way out for himself in advance. Now, after thinking about it, this was clearly mocking Qingmu Ran.

"Now that everyone has arrived, without further ado, let's start the final round of the ranking competition." The Martial Hall Master stood up, "Although there are many new people joining today, the rules of the duel will still be the same as before. In a one-on-one duel, anyone can challenge the first person to enter the duel arena. The winner can choose to rest temporarily, or they can choose not to leave the arena and continue to accept challenges, or designate someone who has not yet entered the arena to duel. Each victory earns one point. By the way, killing the opponent is not allowed in the duel. If one side actively admits defeat, the other side cannot continue to attack, otherwise it will be considered a violation of the rules, all points will be cleared, and the qualification to participate will be revoked. Also, the use of external force other than weapons is not allowed, otherwise it will also be considered a violation of the rules, points will be cleared, and the qualification to participate will be revoked!"

"Now that the rules are clear, this Hall Master announces that the second round of the ranking competition officially begins. Contestants who are willing to be the first to enter the arena, please enter quickly!"

As the Martial Hall Master's voice fell, a King of Geniuses from the Azurewood Ancient Aristocratic Family laughed loudly, jumped up, and landed in the duel arena.

"Friends from the Martial Ancestor Hall, please!"

He directly challenged the King of Geniuses from the Martial Ancestor Hall.

People showed surprised expressions.

Due to yesterday's events, the Azurewood Ancient Aristocratic Family should hate Jun Shen to the bone.

Seeing them so eagerly entering the duel arena, they thought they would challenge Jun Shen by name, but the result was that they turned their conflict towards the Martial Ancestor Hall.

"The people from the Azurewood Ancient Aristocratic Family are smart. They are picking on the weak first. Although it is still the same three people from yesterday, they must have used some means to improve their strength after returning last night, otherwise these three would not dare to be so arrogant today. You must know that yesterday, they were kicked by Jun Shen and coughed up blood."

"They're trying to win some points from the Martial Ancestor Hall's King of Prodigies first. They've got a good plan."

……

Everyone started discussing, seeing through the Aoki Ancient Family's intentions.

The Martial Ancestor Hall's King of Prodigies had a grim expression and was about to enter the arena to meet the challenge.

Just then, a figure wearing a moon-white sword robe stepped through the void towards the dueling arena.

"Seeing you so eager, how about I spar with you for a couple of rounds?"

The one who came out was naturally Jun Wuxie.

His appearance immediately silenced the entire scene.

"Jun Wuxie! Are you in such a hurry to get beaten? I'm challenging the people from the Martial Ancestor Hall right now. What are you doing butting in?"

The King of Prodigies from the Aoki Ancient Family said coldly. This was the same person who had been suppressed and forced to kneel on the ground yesterday. Thinking of the scene from yesterday, his heart was filled with humiliation, and he couldn't wait to tear Jun Wuxie into pieces.

However, to be on the safe side, he wanted to get some points from the people of the Martial Ancestor Hall first.

He originally thought that someone like Jun Wuxie wouldn't easily come out to fight, but to his surprise, Jun Wuxie directly stood out.

"Lord Jun!"

The Martial Ancestor Hall's King of Prodigies didn't want him to stand up for them, after all, the other party had specifically named them for the challenge.

"You all step back."

Jun Wuxie's divine sense echoed in their minds, causing them to tremble.

This voice was too familiar. Wasn't it the voice that had secretly guided them yesterday?

So, the one who helped them win yesterday was Lord Jun!

They were shocked. How did Lord Jun do it?

Yesterday's methods were extremely clever, something only a Supreme Saint Realm expert should be capable of!

Could it be that Lord Jun used the method that the talisman master planted in his body?

Thinking to this point, they felt that this was the only explanation.

At this time, the Hall Master of the Martial Hall also reached out to stop them.

The three of them immediately fell silent.

"Jun Wuxie, we were careless yesterday, too overconfident, and we sealed our cultivation realm, wanting to fight you at the same realm, so we were defeated by you! Today, we will use our full strength and won't hold back, so you can see what it means to be a strong person!"

The King of Prodigies from the Aoki Ancient Family spoke very arrogantly, of course, to regain face for himself and to embolden himself.

Although his body had the blessing of secret techniques, yesterday's events had left some shadows in his heart.

"When you kneel on the ground and look up…"

He continued to shout, his posture flamboyant.

As a result, before he could finish his words, he only felt a blur before his eyes. Before he could react, chaotic golden light was blinding, and a heavy slap landed on his face.

Instantly, he only felt dizzy and saw stars. He flew out horizontally, and even his back molars were spat out.

"You talk too much."

Jun Wuxie carried his hands behind his back, his moon-white sword robe fluttering in the surging blood energy, his dense black hair flying, his eyes deep and indifferent.

Everyone was stunned, followed by a burst of laughter.

The people of the Aoki Ancient Family had livid faces, their teeth chattering.

That King of Prodigies covered his red and swollen face, spit out a mouthful of blood fiercely, his eyes quickly filled with blood, like a crazy, rampaging beast, letting out a roaring sound.

"You, surnamed Jun, I'll tear you apart!"

In his roar, countless bloodline runes lit up on the King of Prodigies' body, and his aura was rising frantically.

Originally a King of Prodigies in the Myth realm, with several forbidden techniques superimposed and sublimated to the extreme, his momentum instantly became hundreds of times stronger.

Just when people thought his momentum had reached its peak, they found that a strange crimson blood light lit up on his body, and his eyes turned blood red.

At the same time, his momentum continued to soar, actually sublimating dozens of times again, making him tens of thousands of times stronger than when he came on stage!

"How is it possible to sublimate to this extent!"

People were horrified, subverting their understanding!

A Myth-level King of Prodigies, a hundred-fold sublimation was already very abnormal, and those who could sublimate over a thousand-fold were rare throughout history.

Tens of thousands of times was simply impossible. How could the body withstand such violent energy?

"Wuxie!"

"Lord Jun!"

Ling Wuse's face was pale, and the Hall Master of the Martial Hall also lost his color.

They never expected that the people of the Aoki Ancient Family could sublimate to this extent. What means did they use to reach such a terrifying level?

No wonder Aoki Ran dared to be so arrogant, with an appearance of confidence.

"Hahaha, Demon Lord Ling, Hall Master Wu, don't be impatient. The excitement has just begun. Next, let us appreciate the demeanor of the Dawn Lord Jun together."

Seeing that everyone was frightened, Aoki Ran couldn't help but feel extremely satisfied. He carried his left hand behind his back, stroked his beard with his right hand, and the smile on his face was as bright as a blooming flower.
