NOVPUBSpiritual power is an existence that is even higher in rank than Qi Force or even Spirit Essence, and while it is a metaphysical thing, invisible and untouchable, it truly exists. Under the envelopment of spiritual power, Ye Feng even felt like heuldntrol everything, where nothinguld hide from his sight.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Suddenly, the thirty-six experts of the Tang Sect darted over the surface of the lake like swimming fish, rapidly changing their positions. What was more terrifying was that they each threw out hidden weapons which, under the sunlight, emitted a green glow indicating that they wereated with deadly poison. The barrage of hidden weapons, dense and overwhelming, was like a tempestuous storm.
What was the most troublesome was that these weren’t ordinary hidden weapons. If they were, no matter the quantity, theyuld be dispersed in an instant with the use of Qi Force martial skills or even a Qi Essence protective shield to fend off the weapons.
But the hidden weapons enhanced by the Seven Stars Grand Formation were different as the formation empowered them to change speed and direction mid-flight, and theyuld even suddenly accelerate, their piercing power terrifyingly formidable.
In the blink of an eye, to the onlookers, Ye Feng seemed to be engulfed by the myriad hidden weapons, at any moment ready to succumb.
Long Nannanuldn’t help getting anxious when she saw this, and she even prepared to rush down to assist.
Sausage Sister quickly grasped her, saying, "That’s enough, you girl; don’t be so impulsive. It’s just a little Seven Stars Grand Formation. At most, it has a lot of hidden weapons. What’s there to fear?"
"But right now, Little Martial Uncle is..." Long Nannan said.
Sausage Sister rolled her eyes, "Just relax, your Little Martial Uncle will be fine. At least with this first trial, it’s unlikely he’ll have any trouble. Otherwise, your grandfather probably wouldn’t have taken notice of him. Let’s just watch."
Hong Qingyan also nodded slightly, "Don’t worry, there won’t be any trouble for now. Even I can’t stop this first challenge, let alone Big Brother Ye. You should know that Big Brother Ye’smbat power is much stronger than ours."
"Stronger than both of us? That’s hardly certain," retorted Sausage Sister, her lips curving into a slight smile. Her expression clearlynveyed disagreement. After all, six months ago, she had firmly suppressed Ye Feng. Moreover, in the past half-year, her cultivation level had advanced by leaps and bounds.
Thus, Sausage Sister simplyuldn’t believe that Ye Feng was stronger than her now. But howuld she know that in this world, aside from geniuses, there were exceptional talents and even those monstrous beings of legend. A genius’s progress is significant, but a monster’s cultivation speed can often be described as advancing a thousand miles in a single day.
Obviously, Ye Feng belonged to that category of monster!
Hong Qingyan didn’t want to argue; she generally disliked arguing with others. Even if she was right, she still maintained good manners, merely smiling as she asked, "By the way, Sausage Sister, if it were you, would you benfident in passing these three trials?"
Sausage Sister pondered for a moment before replying, "The first two trials wouldn’t be too hard for me, even if the snd trial is much more powerful, I havenfidence in getting through. But the third trial, frankly, I don’t think I’d have much chance."
Hong Qingyan smiled, "But I think that Big Brother Ye has every chance of making it through all three."
"He’s fully capable of getting through the third trial?" Sausage Sister’s eyes widened in surprise.
"Yes, I believe so, and I also know he has the strength!" Hong Qingyan nodded slightly.
"I also believe in him. My Little Martial Uncle is capable of anything!" Nannan chimed in cheerfully.
Sausage Sister rolled her eyes and didn’t speak. Ofurse, in her heart, she did not believe it. That’s why she had even thought out antingency plan before setting out, which Old Long, her master, had quietly told her about before they left. That was also the reason why sheuld let Ye Feng step into the Buddhist Sect with such ease.
"Let’s hope so," Sausage Sister said with a light smile in the end. Naturally, she hoped that thentingency wouldn’t have to be used, as the side effects were far too grave and she didn’t want to rely on it unless absolutely necessary.
Meanwhile, Ye Feng seemed to have been entirely swamped by those hidden weapons. But in the next instant, something astonishing happened that left the crowd in shock. Ye Feng turned into a darting fish,ntinuously flipping through the air, avoiding the hidden weapons in an unbelievable and incredibly deft manner.
"He... he actually dodged them all, how is that possible!" The onlookers were astounded, and expressions of disbelief grew on every face.
"This is too freakish, he didn’t use any Qi Force tounterattack, he solely relied on his movement technique to dodge all the hidden weapons, such a dense and voluminous barrage. How did he achieve that, even a Powerhouse of the Divine Ability Realm might not be capable of this!"
"No, not just a Powerhouse of the Divine Ability Realm, perhaps even those in the Saint Realm might not be able to do it!" The surrounding crowd began to exclaim in amazement.
At that moment, atop a pair of mountain peaks, members of the Four Great Ancient Clans also had looks of astonishment on their faces.
Hong Tianduuldn’t help but ask, "Cousin, if you were to try without using Spirit Essence,uld you dodge these hidden weapons just with your movement speed?"
Hong Gaishi narrowed his eyes and clenched his teeth. After a long pause, he said, "Iuld do it, but I doubt it would be as smooth as this kid. Could it be that he can foresee the trajectories of the hidden weapons?"
Upon saying this, Hong Gaishi’s entire body suddenly trembled, and his face drastically changed. He exclaimed in shock, "Could it be that this kid has already stepped into that ethereal and illusory realm? Impossible, howuld he possibly have entered it!"
Hong Gaishi’s alarm was indeed extraordinary, after all, even he had only just begun to glimpse the threshold of that ethereal and illusory realm, yet he had always failed to find the pathway. In fact, even within the Ancient Hong Clan, only the great clan elder had reached that level. Therefore, heuld not believe that Ye Feng had entered that realm no matter what.
Hong Tiandu was frightened by hisusin’s reaction and didn’t dare to speak until he saw the other’s emotions stabilize slightly. Then he timidly asked, "Cousin, what is that ethereal and illusory realm you just spoke of exactly?"
Hong Gaishi turned his head and glared at him, snortingldly, "Don’t ask what you shouldn’t. That realm is not something you can touch now, or even something some people might never be able to touch in their entire lives. Do you understand what I mean?"
Hong Tiandu was frightened once again, but he didn’t dare to speak anduld only nod his head with a forced smile.
Meanwhile, at the peak of another mountain, the Bu Family and others also showed shocked expressions. As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, experts watch the technicalities. Obviously, these members of ancient clans rgnized the extraordinary nature of Ye Feng’s actions.
"This child, his talent is against the heavens. If he canntinue to grow, his future achievements will be boundless!" At this moment, an elder from an ancient clan, whose face was allvered, spoke from atop a small mountain.
"Indeed, his talent is too strong. He’s only how old? Not even thirty, right? Probably only about twenty-five or twenty-six and yet he has already entered that legendary level. Even we are not his match, it’s shameful, shameful!" Another elder from an ancient clan also sighed.
Compared to the Hong Clan and Bu Family, these two clans appeared much more low-profile and hidden. In fact, up to now, these two clans had never officially revealed themselves in the mortal world, and it was only because of the invitation from that sloppy old man with the big smoking pipe in the Northwest Little Mountain Village that they had tome to this Martial Arts World tournament.
"It seems Old Long has not chosen wrong, our Xuanyuan Nation has hope!" An elder from one of the ancient clans said.
Another ancient clan elder asked, "How is the situation on your side now? How much longer can the Heavenly Pillar hold?"
"There’s probably not much time left, at most twenty more years before the Heavenly Pillar willllapse. By then, we will no longer be able to manage the Alien Space-Time," the ancient clan elder replied.
"My side is more or less the same, I imagine the Great Wall of Heaven that Old Long is responsible for is in a similar situation. Twenty years, these twenty years alone, not to mention Xuanyuan Nation, but the entire world’s situation will change because of this, and even humanity will face an imminent catastrophe."
These two ancient clan elders sighed secretly, but theymmunicated using a secret technique, so naturally, no one around themuld hear it, not even a personage like Hong Gaishi.
"Twenty years... I wonder if this Mr. Ye can turn the tide and preserve the legacy of our Xuanyuan Nation. To my knowledge, many of the great powers in the world are secretly training exceptionally strong individuals, so that they may lead their peoples out of the crisis when the dramatic changesme."
"Ofurse, not to mention others, aren’t our two clans also secretly nurturing such a figurehead? It’s just thatmpared to the youngster chosen by Old Long, we’re likelyming up short. It’s a pity, Hong Gaishi thinks his extraordinary talent makes him the strongest among the younger generation of the Four Great Ancient Clans, but little does he know, he can’t evenmpare to Ye Feng!"
The two ancient clan elders shook their heads and smiled slightly, then ended the topic.
Meanwhile, Ye Feng, under thentrol of his powerful spiritual power, saw these densely packed so-called hidden weapons as if their speed had slowed down. Heuld weave through them effortlessly.
In just a few breaths, Ye Feng had already reached the other side of the lake, almost about to break through it. Once he did, arding to the prior agreement, he would bensidered to have successfully passed the challenge, and the disciples of the Tang Sect would no longer be allowed tontinue their attempts at stopping him.
However, at that moment, the thirty-six disciples of the Tang Sect seemed to realize that it was the final juncture. If theyuldn’t stop him now, the reputation of their Tang Sect would be greatly damaged today. After all, if their thirty-six disciplesuldn’t stop a single person with their Great Formation, how would the Tang Sectntinue to stand in the Martial Arts World?
"Use the highest level of techniques!" Suddenly, the man in the red robe at the center of the formation shoutedldly, and as if a dragon’s roar erupted, a blue Immortal Blade rose into the sky.
This blue Immortal Blade, looking more like a dagger, however, was indestructible and its edge was revealed.
"That must be the legendary Immortal Blade of the Tang Sect. It’s said that this blade has its own spirit and is incredibly powerful," murmured the spectators all around upon seeing this scene.
"Condense!" The man leading the formation shoutedldly as his Qi Force surged out. Simultaneously, all thirty-five other Tang Sect disciples also exerted their Qi Force, which surged like a tidal wave into the Immortal Blade.
In an instant, the Immortal Blade burst forth with a dazzling blue light, a blue so bright it was hard to look at, especially the tip of the blade which brimmed with a Sky-breaking Power.
"Indeed, it’s an Immortal Blade!" Ye Feng, far from being panicked, was filled with excitement and heuldn’t help but shout, "I’ve set my sights on that Immortal Blade!"
"You certainly don’t lacknfidence. In that case, let me show you the might of the Tang Sect’s Immortal Blade!"
With that, the leader of the Tang Sect’s formation waved his great hand, and the Immortal Blade instantly shot through the air towards its target.
