Xu Nian looked at the young man of Nether Emperor Perfection Level.

This young man had been silently standing there since Xu Nian arrived.

From beginning to end, he didn’t utter a single word.

However, Xu Nian could sense that his strength was formidable, probably even stronger than typical Nether Emperor Perfection Level experts.

As for exactly how strong he was, Xu Nian couldn’t predict.

"He is the renowned genius loose cultivator of Qing State, Luo Zhengge. Even when compared to geniuses from major forces, his strength is not weak," Huo Qiu said to Xu Nian.

His gaze towards Luo Zhengge was filled with respect.

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian also felt a strong curiosity about this young man.

This young man was actually a loose cultivator.

For a loose cultivator to reach this stage was definitely not an easy feat.

"Is he Luo Zhengge? I’ve heard his Taiqing Righteous Qi is extremely formidable. It’s said that the number of Nether Emperor Perfection Level experts who died by his hand isn’t fewer than ten," someone in the crowd commented.

"That’s him. His Taiqing Righteous Qi is indeed formidable. No one knows where he trained in such a cultivation technique. Coupled with his Wind Attribute laws, his attacks are extremely aggressive and even rival those of some Divine-level experts," another person in the crowd nodded in agreement.

Many people knew about this young man named Luo Zhengge.

However, the Divine-level experts were dismissive.

"Hmph, no matter how formidable, he’s only at the Nether Emperor Level. I don’t believe his attack power can surpass mine," the Black Shinning Star Lord scoffed.

Though he had failed, he didn’t hurry to leave.

Evidently, he wanted to see who else would fail like him.

"Buzz!"

As the discussions continued around him,

Luo Zhengge finally began to move.

A surge of overwhelmingly powerful energy erupted from his body, followed by a peculiar energy eruption.

This power was filled with a magnificent aura, like a clear stream in the heavens and earth.

He then summoned a sharp sword, and as he channeled his Law Power, an extremely sharp Sword Qi enveloped the Divine Sword in his hand.

With the combination of this energy and Taiqing Righteous Qi, a rich blue aura emerged from the Divine Sword.

"Taiqing Inquiry."

Luo Zhengge shouted, then struck out with his sword directly.

In the next moment, a fiercely sharp Sword Radiance shot out instantly.

The Void was torn apart, colliding with the Stele.

Smoke permeated the air.

The Divine Patterns on the Stele erupted in dazzling light.

Luo Zhengge’s attack was completely absorbed.

The onlookers turned their gaze towards the Stele, curious about the attack value Luo Zhengge could achieve with a single strike.

Aside from them, the Shadowless Sword God stood with arms crossed, wearing a subtle smile.

However, the moment Luo Zhengge unleashed his attack, a glint flashed across his eyes.

"Buzz!"

The Divine Patterns lit up once more.

A number then appeared on the Stele.

"How is this possible? This is absolutely impossible." The Black Shinning Star Lord shouted instantly.

Xu Nian and the others also showed a hint of surprise.

However, Luo Zhengge furrowed his brow, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

At this moment, the Stele displayed the number 8036.

Though it hadn’t reached ten thousand, such a value had already surpassed the Black Shinning Star Lord.

An Nether Emperor Perfection surpassing a Divine-level expert was definitely not an easy feat.

To achieve a value of eight thousand, that was already quite impressive.

Many present were astonished.

Yet Luo Zhengge was clearly dissatisfied with this result.

The Black Shinning Star Lord, on the other hand, looked even more sullen.

At this moment, he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

"Haha, that Black Shinning Star Lord got his face slapped again," Huo Qiu said, adding insult to injury.

Hearing this, the Black Shinning Star Lord was nearly driven to rage to the point of killing Huo Qiu.

Xu Nian felt a sense of helplessness.

It seemed that the Black Shinning Star Lord had truly gotten lucky to break through to the Divine-level.

His mindset alone was astonishingly poor.

"Next!" The Shadowless Sword God announced.

"Hmph! It’ll be me." The bald Divine-level expert immediately stepped forward.

Xu Nian recognized him as the one who had threatened to kill them all earlier.

No one knew exactly how strong this bald Divine-level expert was.

"Watch closely." The bald Divine-level expert approached the Stele.

His fists clenched, and a strong wave of Earth Attribute Earth True Intent emanated.

He then punched out, a terrifying energy striking the Stele instantly.

"Buzz!"

A number appeared on the Stele.

Eleven thousand!

The surrounding crowd revealed expressions of surprise.

Did this bald Divine-level expert pass?

"Buzz!"

The Divine Patterns on the Stele illuminated, and a mark flew directly into the young bald man’s forehead.

This meant he was qualified to earn the ultimate assessment.

Receiving the mark, the bald Divine-level expert displayed a look of pride.

"This guy’s strength is indeed impressive," Xu Nian murmured to himself.

The bald youth exhibited the Earth Wall Great Dao True Intent.

Moreover, his control over the Great Dao True Intent had basically reached the First Level Realm Mid-stage.

"Indeed impressive, yet even if he makes it to the ultimate assessment, he’ll be at the bottom," Huo Qiu said indifferently.

Xu Nian couldn’t help but smile wryly.

This Huo Qiu was truly a king of trash talk.

"That’s right, next," the Shadowless Sword God announced.

"Me!" Huo Qiu said with a smile.

Then he stepped out.

Unleashing all his strength, he attacked the Stele.

Ultimately, the Stele displayed a value of only five thousand five.

But Huo Qiu didn’t care, as he had no intention of entering the ultimate assessment.

Reaching five thousand five indicated he was a top-level presence among nether emperors.

Next were several Divine-level experts.

These Divine-level experts generally reached the standard of ten thousand, although none surpassed twenty thousand.

Lastly, the middle-aged man carrying a giant sword scored twenty-three thousand.

Soon, only Xu Nian and the three from Futu Mountain remained.

"I’ll go!" The graceful young man in white from Futu Mountain stepped forward.

He utilized the Wind Spirit Second Level Taoist Truth, his sword strike reaching an extremely sharp level.

Buzz!

A sharp Wind Chime sound was heard.

A number appeared on the Stele, thirty-eight thousand!

Seeing this number, many people on the field gasped.

Reaching a value of thirty-eight thousand.

This was highly remarkable.

Even a surprised look flickered in the eyes of the Shadowless Sword God.

Xu Nian’s eyes also showed a hint of amazement.

Thirty-eight thousand?

Futu Mountain was indeed exceptionally strong.

And this young man probably hadn’t used his full strength.

One wondered what kind of scores the other two Divine-level experts would achieve.

As Xu Nian contemplated, the woman named Li Tianxue stepped forward.

As she moved, her aura gradually manifested.

An aura as domineering as raging fire immediately shocked everyone present.
