NOVPUBWith black spiritual energy slowly spreading out, a powerful swallowing power surged around Ren Pingsheng.
By now, he had completely assimilated the heritage of the Sun Devouring Emperor.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to enter Heavenly Dao Academy, overcoming such fierce competition.
After a long time without seeing him, he seemed to have grown much more than before.
He wore a black robe, with a cape of the same color.
The collar of the robe was high, encircling his entire neck.
His gaze was indifferent, tinged with a barely concealed anger.
His thick eyebrows were pitch-black, and faint black spiritual energy pulsed in his eyes.
Behind him, he carried a giant axe.
The axe was pitch-black, engraved with white and purple stripes.
The entire axe bore an ancient charm, looking extremely thick and domineering.
Ren Pingsheng raised his right hand, and endless swallowing power gathered in his palm.
He threw a punch directly at his opponent.
The man opposite him, Wang Lang, was obviously no ordinary character, with his body ensconced in white spiritual energy that bubbled continuously like foam.
Eight Vein Gates within his body were open, releasing the majestic power of the Divine Vein Realm.
At this time, anyone who could enter Heavenly Dao Academy was at least in the Divine Vein Realm, as everyone was making their final preparations to compete for Destiny.
Fists collided explosively between the two of them.
Subsequently, a burst of energy dispersed, flinging both figures back simultaneously.
This Wang Lang’s white spiritual energy was exceptionally resilient, unceasing and wave-like.
It was as though his energy ripples were the surges of a tumultuous sea, incredibly flexible.
"You are nothing special," Wang Lang said coldly.
"Bang, bang, bang," three explosive sounds emanated from his body, followed by the vast expansion of his white spiritual energy.
The sound of rushing water could be heard.
Incredibly, waves and undercurrents began to form behind him.
"Wave-shocking Seven Techniques," Wang Lang announced softly.
From his fists, undercurrents coalesced as if the waters of a vast lake were merging together, intertwining as they went.
He launched an attack directly at Ren Pingsheng.
"You’re not ready," said Ren Pingsheng, with a pitch-black vortex forming in his fists.
The vortex spun rapidly, resembling a black hole.
Waves of swallowing power emanated from within.
For a while, neither of the two could determine the victor.
Wang Lang’s Wave-shocking Seven Techniques followed closely, one after another, each increasing in power manifold.
As for Ren Pingsheng, his innate advantage lay in his swallowing power, which could absorb the opponent’s energy.
Then, counter with the same intensity of force.
...
"Why on earth are these two fighting?" queried an onlooker from the academy who was clueless about the situation.
"It’s said to be over a woman," someone whispered.
"Surely not."
"Who says it’s not? However, I’ve heard that this matter originally had nothing to do with Wang Lang.
It was between Ren Pingsheng and the Azure Dragon Crown Prince, but since Wang Lang is associated with the Crown Prince, he stepped forward to provoke Ren Pingsheng."
"The Azure Dragon Crown Prince... could it be...", someone said in shock.
"That’s right, the regent of the Ancient Dragon Dynasty. Let’s keep our voices down, we don’t want him to overhear us."
Hearing this, the surrounding people nodded rapidly.
Some looked up towards the side.
Among that group, the young man wearing a blue robe was none other than the Azure Dragon Crown Prince.
His gaze was domineering, with a subtle imposing aura dispersing around him, causing many to not dare stand too close.
Beside him stood several men and women, each with uncommon identities, all hailing from the Great Sect Immortal Gate.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together.
The Ancient Dragon Dynasty was an old and esteemed Imperial Rule Immortal Sect within the Supreme Domain.
One Sect, Two Emperors.
During the flourishing Era of Emperors founded by the True Martial Great Emperor, at one time, the Heavenly Curtain War God almost wiped out the Dragon Clan.
Should anyone speak of an era when the Dragon Clan was nearly extinct, the Ancient Dragon Dynasty would certainly come to mind.
This happened many eras ago, when people pulled out dragon sinews, drank dragon blood, substituted their bones with dragon bones, and practiced the unparalleled methods of the Dragon Clan.
Ultimately, when it was time to carry Destiny, they transformed into ancient dragons with antlers like the Ancient Dragon, wings like the Heavenly Roc, and bodies like the Ying Dragon.
Bloodline reversion ensued, and their mighty dragon power carried the Destiny of that era.
The Ancient Dragon Great Emperor, as the founder of the dynasty, became the Ancestor,
And the Emperor most closely tied to the Dragon Clan.
Of course, years later, the Ancient Dragon Dynasty saw the rise of an extraordinary talent.
He chose not to transform into a dragon, but instead cultivated from the weakest form of a serpent.
After successfully transforming into a python, and then into a viper, the viper finally became a flood dragon.
Just as he was on the verge of transforming from a flood dragon into a true dragon, nobody expected that the man, for some unknown reason, would discard all his cultivation.
That man was the Canaan Great Emperor.
The Canaan Great Emperor’s story was long, and the students discussing the history of the Ancient Dragon Dynasty hadn’t yet had the chance to explore it.
Now, on the Combat Stage, a transformation had taken place.
The True Fates of both contenders opened at once, and endless might suppressed everything around.
Wang Lang’s True Fate was a Bloodthirsty Demon Shark.
His spiritual energy was of the water attribute, which perfectly matched this creature.
The demon shark, with its gloomy eyes, fixed its gaze on Ren Pingsheng.
Around it, Shocking Waves surged fiercely, the boundless sea waves crashing tumultuously.
It tore open the entire space around it.
Ren Pingsheng, no less determined, carried on the legacy of the Sun Devouring Emperor.
With the Sun Devouring Axe etched into his True Fate.
The shadow of the Sun Devouring Axe behind him soared into the sky, the axe symbolizing sharpness, heft, and resilience. 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝙢
Not only the True Fate of the Sun Devouring Axe materialized behind him, but he also slowly took the actual Great Emperor’s True Artifact, the Sun Devouring Axe, into his hands.
At this moment, dust flew and endless might gathered, swelling with an ever-increasing Swallowing Power.
Ren Pingsheng slowly lifted the Sun Devouring Axe.
Behind him, his True Fate also pulsed, merging into one with him.
In an instant, there was an explosion of boundless Suppression Power.
Making everyone in the audience feel suffocated.
"Our Ancestor once swept through an era, dominating the five realms and lands, and none dared to disobey," said Ren Pingsheng, his gaze profound.
His casual words were laced with pride and a sense of dominance.
"I, a lesser descendant today, am incapable of carrying forth this glory.
But you, this kind of villain, have no business jumping around here."
No sooner had the words fallen than the Sun Devouring Axe came slashing down with tremendous oppressive force.
In a flash, the axe grew dozens of times larger.
With every move, it seemed as if the heavens and the earth lost their color, even the sun above was eclipsed.
A "thunderous rumble" of an explosion sounded.
The surrounding void, unable to bear the pressure, shattered before a hand could even be laid.
...
As the Sun Devouring Axe came down, a vast expanse of space collapsed.
Wang Lang’s complexion shifted slightly, yet the True Fate Bloodthirsty Demon Shark behind him still roared fiercely as it charged forward.
Another "boom" exploded, making everyone feel as if their eardrums were about to split.
The Swallowing Power on the giant axe grew increasingly potent.
And the demon shark continued to roar in fury.
